“Miss, do we need to invite Xiao Jinting?” Ye Fang walked beside Ye Jinlan and asked.
“Although he might not be chosen, we’d better make a good preparation,” Ye Jinlan said ruefully. She wasn’t the one to decide the contestants, and the decision was to be made by the family. Even though she felt that Xiao Jinting was powerful enough to rival an ordinary advanced Golden Core, her opinion could only be used as a reference.
“Who would have thought that Xu Qingshan would turn to join the Hong family? We have made so much effort to win him over, but that bastard changed his mind and joined the other family. He is a sanctimonious hypocrite!” Ye Fang said resentfully.
In order to pull Xu Qingshan over, who was at the advanced level of Golden Core, the Ye family even married two female cultivators to him as concubines. In the end, Xu Qingshan took the offer from the Hong family and left without hesitation.
Ye Jinlan closed her eyes and said, “It is impossible to judge a man’s heart from his face!”
Xu Qingshan pretended to be righteous and put the Ye Family’s interests first, but in the end, he did not hesitate to betray them. It was said that this guy would fight on behalf of the Hong family. In other words, the Ye family’s strength had weakened, as this guy would not have dared to do that if the family had a Nascent Soul.
“Miss, from the deal with Xiao Jinting, he should have the ability to hunt down the demonic beasts at the advanced level of Golden Core. You say that he hides his light under a bushel. Maybe he is more powerful than Xu Qingshan,” Ye Fang said.
Ye Jinlan smiled bitterly and said, “Even if we think so, do you think the elders will agree? Furthermore, the competition is very important, and we have to be cautious.”
Ye Jinlan paused and continued, “He is capable of killing demonic beasts, but that doesn’t mean he is good at fighting with the cultivators. I’ll invite him anyway. But Third Great Uncle might criticize me for squandering the spiritual stones.”
Ye Fang’s face was cold. The Ye Family was not united, as Ye Jinlan and the Ye Family’s Third Master were on bad terms.
“The Third Master made so much effort to recruit Xu Qingshan, who in the end joined the other family. How does he have the nerve to criticize you?” Ye Fang said grumpily.
Ye Jinlan narrowed her eyes and said, “Those young men that we have just met are good too.”
There were a total of six Golden Core cultivators, who could not be underestimated.
“Even though they are only preliminary Gold Core cultivators, they were powerful at fighting with their magic weapons. It’s weird. Usually after a cultivator has just advanced to Golden Core, he doesn’t have the time to refine his weapon, but these guys have amazing weapons, which look different from those in Nebula Island,” said Ye Fang, who had made a thorough investigation during the decade after Xiao Xiaodong had come to the island.
“They might come from the outside world. Come on, why do you care about that?” Ye Jinlan said.
Ye Fang nodded and said, “Okay.”
…
Xiao Jinting looked at the demonic beasts that Xiao Xiaodong and the others hunted and said, “It’s a good hunting!”
“Of course,” Xiao Xiaodong said proudly.
The pheasant jumped in joy, saying that it had contributed the most. Every time when they met a demonic beast, the pheasant would rush up first and puff at the demonic beast, which would go dizzy. That made the hunting much easier.
The pheasant had advanced to Golden Core for a long time and its ancestry had been aroused. Ordinary demonic beasts were intimidated by its ancestry when they saw the pheasant, and that helped Xiao Xiaodong a lot.
Xiao Jinting looked at Xiao Xiaodong and the others and thought, “These chaps have grown up before I know it. If they return to Cloud Continent, they will definitely shock the cultivators there.”
“Father, these are the spiritual stones from the last hunting.” Xiao Xiaodong tossed the spiritual stones to Xiao Jinting and said.
Xiao Jinting said awkwardly, “How embarrassing.”
Chen Xu smiled and said, “Mr. Xiao, don’t refuse. The pills, weapons and talismans that we use for cultivation are provided by you, and they are more precious than spiritual stones.” Chen Xu couldn’t figure out where Xiao Jinting had got these precious things. Those pills for Golden Core cultivators were rare and priceless, but Xiao Jinting had a lot of them.
With the backing of Xiao Jinting, they didn’t need spiritual stones, so they gave most of the spiritual stones to him.
…
Ye Jinlan was efficient. After she reached agreement with Xiao Jinting, she sent the spiritual stones to Xiao Jinting.
At the same time, they signed a contract of Heart Demon.
Once the contract was established, the party that violated the rules would be attacked by the Heart Demon when he advanced to the next level.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at the contract in his hand and said, “Father, according to the contract that you signed, you have to fight if they need you.”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “I know. If I fight, I’ll have more spiritual stones. That’s nice.”
“Father, aren’t you afraid to meet a cultivator that you can’t deal with?” asked Xiao Xiaodong.
“Son, don’t worry too much. I heard that Ye Jinlan is not in the position to make the decision. The decision makers of the Ye Family were several old men. Ye Jinlan favors me, but those old men don’t.” It was strange of the Ye family to have internal strife when the disaster was about to come.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Alright, there is still some time. Father, you should try to improve your strength, just in case.”
Xiao Jinting ruffled Xiao Xiaodong’s hair, which was immaculate but now messy. “Xiaodong, you’ve grown up. You are like an adult now.”
Xiao Xiaodong said angrily, “Father, I am an adult.”
Xiao Jinting nodded and gave in. “Alright, you are an adult.”
