Chapter 237
Chapter 237
Qiao Xiang went to meet Chen Xu several times but returned without success. Each time he was either driven out with few perfunctory words or Chen Xu directly avoided meeting him. Qiao Xiang’s patience could not help getting worse and worse.
“Elder martial brother Qiao, why don’t we go and find Uncle Mu Yun? Senior Uncle Mu Yun is a senior member of the Spiritual Medicine Sect. If you get his help, things might be easier to solve.” Wu Li suggested.
Qiao Xiang said with some hesitation, “Find him? Will it work? Will he help me?”
Wu Li nodded and said, “Well, having his help is better than having nothing.”
Qiao Xiang nodded and said, “Then I’ll give it a try.” No matter how he explained it, Chen Xu was indifferent and as soon as he saw him, he looked like he wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible. Qiao Xiang felt that Chen Xu must be having an affair with Xiao Xiaodong. When Chen Xu was with Xiao Xiaodong, he was very nice and friendly.
He was a single-spirit root genius but this guy Chen Xu ignored him. If it was not for the sake of Chen Xu’s Nascent Soul grandfather, who would be willing to take care of a three-spiritual root ger?!

Mu Yun stayed in the guest room in a state of anxiety when he heard his people come to report that Qiao Xiang came to visit him.
“Martial uncle, do you want to see him?” The young cultivator beside Mu Yun asked.
Mu Yun nodded and said, “See.” The genius disciple of the Peerless Sect, he still needed to give him some face.
“Greetings, Reverend Uncle.” Qiao Xiang walked through the door.
Mu Yun nodded and said indifferently, “Please sit down.”
“Thank you, Reverend Uncle.” Qiao Xiang sat down on a chair on the side.
“Is Reverend Uncle Mu’s health getting better?” Qiao Xiang asked with concern.
Mu Yun smiled lightly and said, “It’s not bad. There is no need to exchange pleasantries, so if Senior Nephew Qiao has anything to say, just say it.”
Qiao Xiang’s face changed before he said, “Reverend Uncle must know that I have an engagement with younger martial brother Chen Xu.”
Mu Yun nodded and said, “I know, but wasn’t this engagement broken off?”
“But, I still have feelings for younger martial brother Chen Xu, but I don’t know how younger martial brother Chen Xu feels.” Qiao Xiang said.
Mu Yun nodded and said, “Let the bygones be bygones. According to the temperament of the elder Chen, it is already a fluke that you were able to save your life.”
Chen Xu was Chen Lifeng’s only grandson and it was said that Chen Lifeng would do everything for his grandson. Qiao Xiang’s relation to Chen Xu’s disappearance was not yet proven. But Chen Xu bening kidnapped by Devil Blood Sect should have something to do with Qiao Xiang. It was too risky. Once this matter was exposed, Qiao Xiang would die without a burial place.
“However, me and younger martial brother Chen Xu were originally a match made in heaven. I really don’t want to give up,” Qiao Xiang said.
Mu Yun looked at Qiao Xiang, his fingers lightly clasping the chair as he said, “What do you need me to do for you?”
“I hope that Senior Mu Yun can help me put a good word in front of younger martial brother Chen Xu.”
Mu Yun smiled bitterly and said, “I can’t help you!” He couldn’t even solve his own matters, so how could he have the leisure to bother about other people’s affairs? “I don’t know Chen Xu very well either. Even if I speak for you, it won’t change anything.”
As Mu Yun and Qiao Xiang were talking, another cultivator came in to report that Xiao Xiaojin had arrived.
Hearing that Xiao Xiaojin arrived, Mu Yun’s face was filled with joy as he said, “Please come in.”
Qiao Xiang frowned when he looked at Mu Yun’s happy expression. After Qiao Xiang came to Green Cloud Immortal Sect, he learned that three brothers of the Xiao family were very popular here. The eldest brother raised a chicken that ordinary demonic beasts avoided at all costs, so it could be seen that its variety was extraordinary. The second brother was the single-spirit root and soon after he entered the Sect, he defected from his master but was still alive. The three brothers of the Xiao family had a good relationship with Chen Lifeng and he even told Green Cloud Immortal Sect to take good care of them.
“Xiaojin, come in,” Mu Yun looked at Xiao Xiaojin and a big smile surfaced on his face.
Qiao Xiang looked at them and a feeling of dissatisfaction surged in his heart. When he came in, Mu Yun’s face was indifferent and he also ignored his request. But as a result, when Xiao Xiaojin came in, Mu Yun’s whole expression changed. Who was Xiao Xiaojin that he was worthy of being treated differently by senior Mu Yun?
Mu Yun looked at Qiao Xiang indifferently and said, “Nephew Qiao, I really can’t help you with your matter, please go back.”
Qiao Xiang stood up and said with a somewhat sullen expression, “Then I won’t bother you anymore, senior Mu.”
With a stern face, Qiao Xiang left in anger.
Xiao Xiaojin was full of curiosity as he asked, “Senior Mu, what did this guy come here for?”
“This guy came to me to ask me for help in getting a wife,” Mu Yun said.
Xiao Xiaojin’s eyes widened as he said in surprise, “Huh, looking for your help to get a wife. But, senior, you don’t even have a wife yourself yet!”
Mu Yun choked for a moment and thought: That’s what I thought! I don’t have a wife yet and have not even solved my own affairs, where can I get the leisure to help others?
“Xiaojin, what are you doing here?” Mu Yun asked.
Xiao Xiaojin blinked and said, “I heard that you have become a poor man, senior.”
Mu Yun, “…” Well, he had given his entire fortune to Qiu Yun, so he was indeed considered poor now.
“I made a pot of chicken soup to comfort you.” Xiao Xiaojin took out a pot of hot chicken soup from his space ring and said.
Mu Yun nodded and said, “Thank you.”
Xiao Xiaojin hurriedly shook his head and said, “Don’t mention it, don’t mention it.”
“Senior Mu, do you know how to cook?” Xiao Xiaojin asked.
Mu Yun shook his head and said, “No
Xiao Xiaojin looked at Mu Yun with sympathy, while Mu Yun looked at Xiao Xiaojin with confusion and said, “What’s wrong?”
Xiao Xiaojin shook his head and said, “It’s nothing, nothing, it’s just that my father said that if I look for a husband, I need to find a rich one who can cook.”
Mu Yun, “…” If you calculated it like this, he was not qualified for anything.
Xiao Xiaojin looked at Mu Yun with sympathy and said, “Senior, you have to work hard.”
Mu Yun, “…” Why did he feel that he was despised by a little child?
