Chapter 313
After the competition of the Business Alliance was over, the twelve great families went back home.
Xiao Jinting went back to the Ye house, where he was treated like a honored guest.
Those who didn’t take him seriously now were very respectful to him.
He felt complicated with the different ways that they treated him.
“Son, your flying bear has fallen into the soup,” Xiao Jinting said.
Xiao Xiaojin nodded and said, “Yes, it did it on purpose.”
The Ye family now brought over twice the food, which was more exquisite than before.
No matter how much food they sent over, the flying bear could devour all of it. Xiao Jinting had thought that the bear only liked sweets, but now he realized that it was not fussy about food at all.
Xiao Jinting hadn’t eaten the food sent by the Ye Family these days, as the flying bear ate all up.
Thinking of the strange look on the servants’ face when they saw the clean plates, Xiao Jinting felt embarrassed. He wasn’t that greedy. The damn pet of his son should be blamed.
“Father, the Ye family is changeful. I learned that they didn’t trust any outsiders because of Xu Qingshan. Once bitter, twice shy,” Xiao Xiaojin said.
Xiao Jinting rubbed his chin and said, “Xu Qingshan has tricked the Ye family badly, but it’s also the fault of the Ye family, who was blind. I look so upright, while Xu Qingshan looks evil. However, the Ye family is actually comparing your honest father to Xu Qingshan the scum.”
Xiao Xiaojin nodded, “Yeah, the Ye family is blind.”
Xiao Jinting propped his chin on his hands, thinking it might be too rude to say something like this in the Ye house.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. “Please come in…”
Ye Jinlan pushed opened the door and came in. “Senior Xiao, this is your reward.”
Xiao Jinting raised an eyebrow at sight of 1,500 top-grade spiritual stones.
“Miss Ye, it seems more than we agreed.” Xiao Jinting said as he weighed the bag in his hand.
“The extra is an apology from the Ye family for not showing you the due respect,” Ye Jinlan said.
Xiao Jinting smiled and said without hesitation, “Oh, I see. Thank you so much.”
Ye Jinlan took out a key and handed it to Xiao Jinting. “Mr. Xiao, this is for you.”
Xiao Jinting looked at the key to the Tower of Babel and felt excited.
“Mr. Xiao, you are powerful. My grandfather will also enter the Tower of Babel, and I hope you could help him,” Ye Jinlan said.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Miss Ye, I’m flattered. Actually, I need the help from Mr. Ye.”
“Mr. Xiao, you defeated a Peak Golden Core, whose level was higher than you, and now you are famous. I envy you.”
Xiao Jinting waved his hand and said, “I don’t care for fames. Miss Ye, Xu Qingshan tricked you badly, don’t you think of taking revenge?”
A cold glint flashed across Ye Jinlan’s eyes. “Xu Qingshan is an advanced Golden Core. We wish to teach him a lesson, but we are not able to do that.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. I can do it for you, Miss Ye.”
…
Ye Jinlan entered Ye Shengxue’s bedroom.
“Xiao Jinting wants to where Xu Qingshan is?” Ye Shengxue asked.
Ye Jinlan nodded and said, “Yes.” After the Hong family was defeated, Xu Qingshan and the Hong family had fallen out. The Ye family had been watching over Xu Qingshan, but they didn’t have the resources to deal with him as they needed to focus on reviving the family.
“What does he want to do?” Ye Shengxue asked.
“Xiao Jinting says that Xu Qingshan is a scumbag, and he can’t bear to see such a bad guy continue to do evil things in the world. He can help us deal with him,” Ye Jinlan said.
Ye Shengxue chuckled and asked, “Jinlan, what do you think?”
Ye Jinlan smiled bitterly and said, “Of course, he is lying.” Thinking of Xiao Jinting’s greedy look, Ye Jinlan felt uneasy. “I think he might have taken a fancy to Xu Qingshan’s magic weapon.”
During the competition, Xiao Jinting’s eyes lit up at sight of Xu Qingshan’s wooden wand.
“Grandmother, shall we…?”
“Tell him where Xu Qingshan is. We don’t have extra hands to deal with Xu Qingshan now. Keeping such a person alive in the world is a shame for our family. Since someone offers to help, why not?” Ye Shengxue smiled coldly.
Ye Jinlan nodded and said, “Okay.” She was tempted by Xu Qingshan’s magic weapon as well, but she checked herself as she thought that she should not cause any troubles since the Ye family had just secured its seat in the alliance.
“Xiao Jinting has so many magic weapons. I wonder where he got them. He could defeat any Golden Core with so many powerful magic weapons,” said Ye Shengxue with envy.
“Unfortunately, the magic discs are disposable and limited,” Ye Jinlan said.
“He took out ten of them in one go and sold them to your grandfather. He should have a lot still,” said Ye Shengxue. She was very interested in Xiao Jinting’s secret, but she knew well that the Ye family couldn’t afford to offend him.
