“You’re back?” Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinting and asked.
Xiao Jinting nodded. “Yeah.”
“You don’t look good,” Xu Muan said.
Nodding, Xiao Jinting lay on the bed and said lazily, “I just learned from Steward Qiu that the reward offered by the Heavenly God Sect for catching the cultivator who took the Soul Refining Water has been added up to one hundred top-grade spiritual stones.”
Xu Muan smiled and said, “The older, the wiser. The rich live for a long time.” Back in the secret realm, the young genius of Heavenly God Sect posted a reward, but now the old geezer of a thousand years old did the same thing.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yeah.” He thought he possessed quite many things, but he was only better than the Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Xu Muan pondered for a while and said, “Many people come to visit these days.” The visitors directly or indirectly inquired about what they had encountered and gained in the secret realm, and how close they were with Chen Xu. Xu Muan was annoyed.
“Let’s find a chance and go out to stay away from the trouble,” Xiao Jinting said.
Xu Muan nodded, “I agree.”
…
“Father, I have a mission,” Xiao Xiaofan came to Xiao Jinting.
Xiao Jinting looked at him and asked, “What is it?”
“Go to guard Fufeng Island,” Xiao Xiaofan said.
“How did you take this mission?” asked Xiao Jinting.
“Brother said that I should go out to get some experience. I think this mission is good, so I took it,” Xiao Xiaofan said.
Xiao Jinting was surprised that Xiao Xiaodong was behind this. What was this guy thinking?
“Father, do you like to go with me?” Xiao Xiaofan said proudly.
“Okay.” Xiao Jinting said to himself, “Fufeng Island seems to be quiet, but its spiritual Qi seems to be scarce. However, it is a remote island, so I can consider forming core there.”
“Father, Mr. Chen has come,” Xiao Xiaofan said.
Xiao Jinting touched his chin and asked, “What has he come here for?”
“Come and play with Big Brother. Mr. Chen is quite pitiful. He doesn’t have any friends,” Xiao Xiaofan said sympathetically.
Xiao Jinting thought, “It’s easy for Chen Xu to have friends. He comes for Xiaodong, and that means my son is very charming.”
…
Xiao Jinting looked at the young men behind him, speechless. Xiao Xiaofan took the mission, but when they set off, the team was big. Not only Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Xiaojin but also Lei Xuan and Chen Xu came to join them. Xiao Jinting felt like he was taking a bunch of kids to the picnic.
“Mr. Chen, doesn’t your grandfather have any objections?” asked Xiao Jinting.
Chen Xu said indifferently, “No. I need experience.”
“What’s special about Fufeng Island?” Xiao Jinting asked the young men.
Xiao Xiaofan shook his head. “I don’t know, but I heard that there is a rainbow fish near Fufeng Island. It is very delicious, one of the most delicious fish.”
Xiao Jinting looked at Xiao Xiaofan in frustration, wondering if Xiao Xiaofan chose Fufeng Island because the fish in that damn place was delicious.
Xiao Xiaojin asked, “Second Brother, is it really that delicious?”
“I heard it’s delicious,” Xiao Xiaofan said.
Xiao Jinting rubbed his forehead. He felt guilty of having two foodies in the family. How could he bring these two chaps together on the trial?
Chen Xu looked at Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaojin and said, “Rainbow fish tastes delicious. It is a rare delicacy. However, this fish swims extremely fast and it’s difficult to catch.”
Fufeng Island was remote. Xiao Jinting steered the flying ship and used four teleportation arrays to arrive at the destination.
The flying ship landed on the island, and several Qi cultivators hurried out to greet them.
“Seniors, I’m Wang Heng.” An old man with grey hair gingerly came up with two dozens of cultivators.
Looking at the respectful group of Qi cultivators, Xiao Jinting had a complicated feeling. Power ruled in the cultivation world, where people much older than him had to address him as their senior.
Xiao Jinting dismissed them after he asked them about the situation.
Their arrival excited the discussions among the Qi cultivators on the island.
“Mr. Wang, why do so many Foundation Establishment cultivators come suddenly? Didn’t only a Mr. Xiao take the mission?”
Wang Heng took a deep breath and said: “I don’t know either!” His legs got weak with the sudden arrival of so many seniors.
“Why do they come? Are there any treasures on the island?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. There are no treasures. Mr. Xiao Xiaofan, who took the mission, has a father, a daddy and an elder brother, and they are all Foundation Establishment cultivators. All of them should have arrived here. Mr. Xiao Xiaofan is a single spiritual root, and the rest comes to protect him.” Wang Heng said.
“Mr. Xiao’s family is awesome!”
“Of course. They are a family.”
“So many high-level cultivators have come, and we don’t have to be afraid of the sea demonic beasts.” A small cultivator at the fifth level of Qi said excitedly.
Fufeng Island was remote, and the cultivators who arrived here were mainly responsible for establishing a staging post on the Island. As a result, the sects rarely paid attention to the island. Sometimes, large demonic beasts in the sea came ashore and caused casualties. The Qi cultivators felt safer with Xiao Jinting’s arrival.
The team settled down on the island.
Lei Xuan accompanied Xiao Xiaofan to look at the sea, or the ‘food’ in the sea. Xiao Xiaojin followed behind them.
After Xiao Jinting left, Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaojin got much closer and they usually made mischief together.
