Chapter 325
Xiao Xiaojin stood in front of the door to the auction venue, hands on his hip, saying proudly, “Here we are.”
The flying bear hugged the wine gourd and belched, “We’re finally here! Your legs are too short, and it took us such a long time.”
Xiao Xiaojin snorted coldly, “If you hadn’t asked for food when you saw the eatery, we would not have delayed for so long.”
The bear breathed out alcohol and said discontentedly, “Chap, mind your manners. Show your Grandfather Bear some respect, or I’ll ask the bees to sting you.”
Xiao Xiaojin was speechless.
Xiao Xiaofan came out and said, “Xiao Jin, you’re finally here. Daddy has been asking for you for a long time.”
Xiao Xiaojin caught up with Xiao Xiaofan and said, “Has the auction started yet?”
“It’s still early. It’ll be held in a few days,” Xiao Xiaofan said.
“Looks like I’m not late!”
“Mr. Xiao, you are finally here. Your daddy has been worrying you” Ye Jinlan came out and smiled at Xiao Xiaojin.
Xiao Xiaojin greeted her respectfully, “Good morning, Miss Ye.”
Ye Jinlan waved her hand and said, “Mr. Xiao, you don’t need to be so polite.”
The flying bear sat on Xiao Xiaojin’s shoulders and looked drunk. He shook with dreamy eyes, looking lovely and harmless.
Ye Jinlan had a weird look when she knew that the bear on Xiao Xiaojin’s shoulder was actually the bear on Honeycomb Island.
Xiao Xiaofan wrapped Xiao Xiaojin’s shoulders with his arm and said, “Xiaojin, I heard you did a big job.”
“They came to me and I killed them right away,” Xiao Xiaojin said triumphantly, making a gesture of cutting throat.
“Xiaojin, you’re awesome. You are better than us.”
“Come on, I’m not that good. The Three Devils of Nether River were too weak. They died after the wasps stung them. I didn’t have the chance to kill them myself.”
“Xiaojin, you didn’t attack them and they died. You are amazing.”
“Thank you.”
“By the way, did you cut off their heads? I heard that the Ji family has a reward for them! The person who kills the Three Devils of Nether Rive will be rewarded with eight hundred spiritual stones.”
“I did. But the heads were swollen from the bee stings. I wonder if I can still exchange them for spiritual stones.”
“Of course you can!”
…
Ye Jinlan followed behind them. Listening to their conversation, she felt that they were like Xiao Jinting, as they behaved in the same way.
Xu Muan came out and said, “Xiao Jin, you are here!”
Xiao Xiaojin hugged Xu Muan intimately and said warmly, “Daddy, I miss you so much!”
“You are a big boy now, but you still behave like a child.”
Ye Jinlan saw that the Xiao family needed some privacy, so she left.
When she was out of earshot, Xiao Xiaojin took out a booklet and handed it to Xu Muan. “Daddy, I found this on the Three Devils of Nether River.”
Xu Muan opened the booklet and read it, his face darkening.
Chen Xu looked at Xu Muan and asked, “Uncle Xu, what is wrong?”
“The Cao family might have ordered the Three Devils of Nether River to catch Xiaojin,” Xu Muan said coldly.
Chen Xu was confused. “The Cao family? What do you mean?”
Xu Muan slowly said, “Back then, the Three Devils of Nether River killed the granddaughter of the Ji family and got hunted down by the Ji family’s ancestor. In the end, someone helped them escape. The Cao family should be the one behind it.”
“The Cao family is a large family, and there are always some things that have to be done under the table. It is not convenient for the Cao family to intervene in these matters, so they will ask others to do the dirty jobs. The Three Devils of Nether River should be hired by the Cao family to take care of these matters.”
“The Three Devils of Nether River had written down what they had done for the Cao family, afraid that the Cao family would kill them one day.”
Chen Xu and the others exchanged glances.
Xu Muan looked at the booklet in his hand, his heart in a whirl. The Cao family had moved so quickly. It seemed that he underestimated the attraction of the things he took out.
“We don’t seem to have any enmity with the Cao family.” Xiao Xiaofan blinked.
“Well, it’s hard to say.” Xiao Xiaodong said with his arms crossed.
Xiao Xiaofan looked at Xiao Xiaodong and asked, “What do you mean?”
“Previously, when the Hong family competed for the seal with the Ye family, the Cao family seemed to side with the Hong family. However, Father ruined their plan. I heard that the Nascent Soul of the Cao family married two pretty girls of the Hong family,” Xiao Xiaodong said with his arms crossed.
Xiao Xiaofan’s face darkened and he said, “That old man of the Cao family is so vindictive!”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded. “I think so.”
Xiao Xiaofan was speechless.
Xiao Xiaojin rubbed his fists and said, “What are you afraid of? Kill them.”
Xiao Xiaodong was speechless.
Xu Muan waved his hand and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. There are enough people watching over us. The Cao family is not easy to deal with.”
Xiao Xiaojin said in depression, “Okay.” They were not strong enough to act freely.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Xiaojin and rubbed his head. “What are you thinking about? It’s not too late to take revenge. Just remember this for now.”
“The old man of the Cao family also entered the Tower of Babel. Will he attack Father in the tower?”
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Xiaojin helplessly. Their daddy was worried about their father, and it was foolish of Xiao Xiaojin to say such words.
“I don’t think so. Although father’s cultivation level is lower than the old man, he is not inferior to the Nascent Soul cultivators in extreme environments. He will be fine,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
Xiao Xiaojin nodded and said, “You are right.”
