In Chen Lifeng’s courtyard.
“Grandfather, thank you,” Chen Xu said intimately to Chen Lifeng.
“I’m your grandfather. Why are you being so polite with me? How have you been during the twenty years?” Chen Lifeng looked at Chen Xu lovingly and asked.
“It was very good and exciting. Grandfather, I killed a lot of sea beasts there. Everyone called me Senior and Ancestor.”
Chen Lifeng looked at Chen Xu’s excited face and nodded. “Xu’er, you’re awesome now. There are very few young men as powerful as you.”
“I’m lucky.”
“Did Xiao Xiaodong bully you?!” When he mentioned Xiao Xiaodong, Chen Lifeng sounded disgruntled.
Chen Xu shook his head and said, “No, Xiao Dong treats me very well. He helped me contract my beast.”
“That chap is not bad.” Chen Lifeng said reluctantly with his hands clasped behind his back.
Chen Lifeng thought to himself, “A few years ago, Qiao Xiang advanced to Golden Core, and the Peerless Sect made a big fuss of it, wishing everyone to know about it. Now the whole Xiao family is Golden Cores, and none of them is inferior to Qiao Xiang. A genius like Qiao Xiang is no better than the Xiao family.”
Although Chen Lifeng was satisfied with Xiao Xiaodong, he had a grim look when he mentioned him.
Chen Xu boasted, “The Xiao family is very powerful.”
Chen Lifeng appraised the icy blue octopus on Chen Xu’s shoulder and said, “This octopus isn’t bad. If this octopus has the Nascent Soul core that left by its mother as you say, this little creature will advance to Nascent Soul sooner or later.”
Chen Xu nodded and said, “I think so.”
“Did Xiao Xiaodong help you contract this demonic beast?” Chen Lifeng asked.
“Yes. Xiao Dong’s contract beast persuaded the Nascent Soul demonic beast, who let this small octopus contract with me.”
“That was sensible of him.” Although Chen Lifeng was very satisfied with Xiao Xiaodong, he wouldn’t show it.
“Grandfather, you are too demanding. Xiao Dong is really good!” Chen Xu said.
Chen Lifeng looked at Chen Xu and said in disappointment, “He is very cunning, but you regard him as a good man.”
Chen Xu touched his belly helplessly and said inwardly, “Xiao Dong is not cunning but smart.”
“Grandfather, don’t bias against Xiao Dong. He is a good man, much better than Qiao Xiang.” Chen Xu was captured and forced to be a mine slave back then, and he thought that Qiao Xiang had something to do with it.
Chen Lifeng shook his head and lectured helplessly, “After you get married, you favor your husband. I’m doing it for your good. I don’t want you to be deceived.”
Chen Xu held Chen Lifeng’s arm and said, “Grandfather, I’m not that stupid.”
“Qiao Xiang married a female cultivator from Peerless Sect last year,” Chen Lifeng said.
Chen Xu nodded calmly. “Qiao Xiang is not young, and it’s time for him to get married. Grandfather, it’s history between me and Qiao Xiang. Don’t think about it anymore, as if I’m reluctant to part with him.”
Chen Lifeng smiled awkwardly and said, “You are right.” Xiao Xiaodong had taken the Spirit Cleansing Pill and become a single spiritual root. Although he was an acquired one, he was not inferior to Qiao Xiang.
“Xu’er, you’ve advanced to Golden Core. I’m proud of you.” Chen Lifeng patted Chen Xu’s shoulder.
Chen Xu smiled faintly and thought to himself, “There are times when a Nascent Soul cultivator like Grandfather has to compare the disciples with others. In the past, my cultivation level was low, and Grandfather had no disciples. When others were bragging about their disciples, Grandfather had to keep silent. From now on, he can hold his head high.”
…
There was a knock on the door.
Chen Lifeng opened the door and saw that it was Xiao Xiaodong. He turned gloomy.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Lifeng’s face and felt that even though he looked grave, he was not angry with him. Chen Lifeng was only pretending.
Chen Lifeng snorted and said coldly, “Why are you here?”
Xiao Xiaodong said awkwardly, “Father asks me to bring some local specialties from Nebula Island.”
Chen Lifeng paused. “What is it?”
Xiao Xiaodong took out a box and handed it to Chen Lifeng, who opened it and got surprised.
Chen Xu looked at the beads in the box in bewilderment.
“Convey my thanks to your father,” Chen Lifeng said lightly. There were very few things that could tempt a Nascent Soul like Chen Lifeng, but the Ghost soul beads were one of them.
“I’m glad that you like it,” Xiao Xiaodong said respectfully.
Chen Xu was surprised to see Chen Lifeng stroke the beads and reluctantly put them away.
“Mr. Chen, Mr. Guo of Spiritual Medicine Sect comes to pay a visit.” A servant came in and reported as the three of them were chatting.
Chen Lifeng nodded and said, “Got it.”
Chen Lifeng looked at Xiao Xiaodong and said, “Xiaodong, how many Nascent Souls do you get acquainted with?”
Xiao Xiaodong smiled awkwardly and said, “Grandfather, when I left, I was only a Foundation Establishment. How could I have the chance to meet a Nascent Soul?”
Chen Lifeng nodded and said disdainfully, “I guess so. Let’s go. I’ll take you to meet one of them.”
Xiao Xiaodong was speechless.
Chen Xu and Xiao Xiaodong exchanged a glance and followed Chen Lifeng.
