A carriage sped on the road while a man looked out in anxiety with knitted brows.
“Grandfather, will the relative you mention lend us the spirit stones?” Xu Wenzhe asked eagerly.
Xiao Jingfeng nodded and said, “He will, definitely.”
“But that’s a large amount of spiritual stones. Father says it’s hard to pay back,” Xu Wenzhe said worriedly.
Xiao Jingfeng said with anxiety, “It is indeed a large amount of spiritual stones, but it is not much for him.”
“Grandfather, why did you borrow the spiritual stones from the loan shark? If you can’t pay back, you will be in trouble.” Xu Wenzhe pouted.
“I know. Don’t worry. I can pay back when I find this relative.” Xiao Jingfeng forced a smile.
“Grandfather, you’ve never mentioned that you have a rich relative!” Xu Wenzhe said in confusion.
Xiao Jingfeng smiled and said, “I lost contact of him, but now I know where he is.”
Xu Kai was worried. “Father, is your relative reliable?”
Xiao Jingfeng glanced at Xu Kai and said, “Don’t worry. He’s reliable.”
Xu Kai used to be the eldest son of the Xu family. Xiao Jingfeng and Mu Shuyu arrived at Cloud Continent on a merchant ship six years ago.
After they set food in Cloud Continent, Xiao Jingfeng secretly inquired about Xiao Jinting and got shocked. Xiao Jinting not only offended the Yin Ghost Sect but also the Heavenly God Sect. Both forces were chasing Xiao Jinting and offering high rewards.
Xiao Jinting went to another land through the teleportation array. Xiao Xiaodong took away the grandson of a Nascent Soul.
The news frightened Xiao Jingfeng, who didn’t sleep well for three nights.
From then on, Xiao Jingfeng did not dare to mention Xiao Jinting anymore. He made a living as an ordinary free-lance cultivator with Mu Shuyu and Xiao Xiaofu in Cloud Continent.
Cloud Continent was different from Barbarian Continent. After he arrived at Cloud Continent, Xiao Jingfeng realized how small Barbarian Continent was.
In Barbarian Continent, Foundation Establishment cultivators were rare, but in Cloud Continent, cultivators of this level were very common.
The status of free-lance cultivators in Cloud Continent was very low. In order to have a better life, Xiao Jingfeng and Mu Shuyu joined the Xu family and became their guards.
The Xu family was a big family in Cloud Continent, and they had three Golden Core cultivators.
Xu Kai was the eldest son of the Xu family and was considered one of the outstanding heirs.
Xiao Xiaofu had a good opinion of Xu Kai after entering the Xu family with Xiao Jingfeng and Mu Shuyu. However, Xu Kai had a fiancée, so Xiao Xiaofu didn’t ask for too much.
One day Xu Kai’s fiancée came to visit, and Xu Kai was caught in bed with Xiao Xiaofu.
Xu Kai’s fiancée broke off the engagement in anger.
The Xiao family was driven out of the Xu family, and Xiao Xiaofu got pregnant, which was a double whammy for the family.
Not long after, the Xu family suffered a huge loss because Xu Kai made the wrong decision. Therefore, he got driven out of the Xu family as well.
After Xu Kai left the Xu family, he found out that Xiao Fu was pregnant, so he went to the Xiao family.
He married Xiao Xiaofu and struggled to raise the child.
Xu Kai was the young master of the Xu family, and he was considered outstanding in terms of talent and cultivation.
Although they were not rich, they had a peaceful life.
However, when Xu Kai and Xiao Xiaofu went on a mission, they encountered Xu Kai’s fiancée, Li Shuangshuang, who married Xu Jin, Xu Kai’s cousin, after she broke off her engagement with Xu Kai.
Ever since Xu Kai and Xiao Xiaofu met Li Shuangshuang, everything went wrong and they failed their missions repeatedly.
One day, Xu Kai and Xiao Xiaofu took on a task to escort goods. The reward for this task was very high. If they completed the task, they would have a commission of two hundred medium spiritual stones.
Xu Kai was hesitant, but Xiao Xiaofu couldn’t resist the temptation and took the task.
As a result, they lost the goods and had to pay for a huge sum of compensation.
Xiao Jingfeng had no choice but to borrow the loan. After he paid the compensation, he set off to look for Xiao Jinting.
“Father, I’m sorry. It is my fault,” Xu Kai said apologetically.
Xiao Xiaofu bit his lip and said, “Father, it’s my fault. If I had been careful, I would not have fallen for the trap.”
Xu Kai frowned and said, “It’s not your fault. The Xu family would not let me off.”
Xu Kai glanced at Xiaofu, who was not reckless usually. He took on the task because the Spiritual Medicine Sect was about to recruit disciples, and Xiao Xiaofu intended to send Xu Wenzhe there.
To join the Spiritual Medicine Sect, they had to pay a sign-up fee of one hundred medium spiritual stones. More spiritual stones would be required after entering the sect.
Xiao Jingfeng shook his head and said, “Come on, don’t talk about it anymore since things have happened. Fortunately, your uncle is back.”
Xu Kai hesitated. When Xiao Jingfeng joined the Xu family, he said that he was a free-lance cultivator. He stayed in the Xu family for many years, and he had never told Xu Kai that he had any relatives. Therefore, Xu Kai was curious.
“Xiaofu, do you know who Father is talking about?” Xu Kai couldn’t help asking with internal power. After they got into trouble, Xiao Jingfeng borrowed the loan and redeemed the two of them. After that, he took them on the journey to seek help from the relative.
Xu Kai doubted whether the relative that Xiao Jingfeng mentioned existed. Perhaps Xiao Jingfeng was escaping with them when he saw the danger.
Xiao Xiaofu frowned and said, “Maybe it’s my third uncle.” When Xiao Jinting and the others left Barbarian Continent, Xiao Fu was small. He learned from his father say that his third uncle was capable, but he didn’t anything else.
“Do you have an uncle?” Xu Kai asked strangely.
After Xiao Xiaofu followed Xiao Jingfeng to Cloud Continent, Xiao Jingfeng forbade him from mentioning Xiao Jinting. Xiao Jinting was famous back then, and Xiao Xiaofu soon found out the reason.
“Yes, I have one.” Xiao Xiaofu nodded.
Xiao Xiaofu couldn’t help thinking, “Is the famous Xiao Jinting of Green Cloud Immortal Sect my third uncle?” It was said that Xiao Jinting was about to become the First Elder of Green Cloud Immortal Sect. Xiaofu doubted if Xiao Jinting was indeed his uncle. If his father made a mistake, they would get into big trouble.
