“Uncle Xu, when will the secret realm open?” Xiao Xiaofu asked curiously.
“The entrance to the realm is not very stable. It will only open until the entrance calms down. I guess it will take a dozen days,” Xu Muan said carefully.
Xiao Xiaofu nodded his understanding.
Several cultivators of Green Cloud Immortal Sect gathered together and whispered as they looked at Xiao Jinting.
“The First Elder is awesome. He killed the demonic beasts along the way like flies.”
“Of course. Otherwise, he would not have been chosen by the Sect Master to become the First Elder?”
“The Golden Core cultivator of the Spiritual Medicine Sect is lazy without showing up along the way.”
“That’s right! The First Elder is much more powerful than him.”
“Xiaofu is very lucky to have such an uncle. He will have a promising future.”
“I heard that he led a wretched life before the First Elder came back. Xu Kai is the lucky one.” It was easy to add the icing on the cake, but it was difficult to offer fuel in snowy weather. Xu Kai married Xiao Xiaofu when the Xiao family was in difficulties, and now he had a sudden rise in life.
Xiao Xiaofu was surrounded by a few cultivators and felt a jealous gaze. When he looked back, he saw nothing.
“Xiaofu, are you alright?” Xu Kai asked.
Xiao Xiaofu shook his head and said, “I’m fine.” He used to envy Li Shuangshuang, who came from a dignified family and was a good match for Xu Kai, but he now didn’t envy her anymore.
“Xiaofu, does Li Shuangshuang of Spiritual Medicine Sect have a grudge with you? After we enter the secret realm, I’ll help you take revenge,” said a female cultivator at the advanced level of Foundation Establishment.
“No, thank you. It’s history now.” Xiao Xiaofu refused as he knew the female cultivator was trying to get in touch with his uncle.
“Xiaofu, you are kind. Li Shuangshuang is not as good as you.”
Xiao Xiaofu smiled faintly. Li Shuangshuang’s cultivation level was similar to his. In the past, he avoided Li Shuangshuang, but now that he had so many magic weapons, he was confident to defeat her.
…
At Green Cloud Immortal Sect.
Xiao Xiaojin sat on the top of the mountain, roasting food while Xu Wenzhe and the flying bear were waiting eagerly to be fed.
“Mr. Xiao, the Xu family has come to pay a visit.”
Xiao Xiaojin turned to Xu Wenzhe and asked, “Wenzhe, your parents are away. Do you want to see the Xu family?”
Xu Wenzhe shook his head and said without hesitation, “No, I hate them.”
Xu Wenzhe was born before Xiao Xiaofu married Xu Kai, so he was not recognized by the Xu family. After Xu Kai was expelled from the Xu family, he once took Xu Wenzhe back to the Xu house, where Xu Wenzhe was treated badly and even despised by the servants.
“The Xu family is annoying,” Xu Wenzhe said disdainfully with a wrinkled nose.
“Do you hate your father as well?” Xiao Xiaojin asked.
“No, except Father. The Xu family does not treat Father well. We got into a big debt because the Xu family set us up.”
“Then ignore them.”
Xu Wenzhe nodded solemnly and raised his chin. “The Xu family ignored me before, and now I ignore them.”
Xiao Xiaojin smiled at Xu Wenzhe and then turned to the messenger, “Send them away.”
At the Xu house in Cloud Continent.
Xu Chang flew into a rage in the hall.
He usually cultivated in seclusion and would not come out unless the family encountered major dangers.
After he learned that Xu Kai was married to the son of Xiao Jingfeng, who turned out to be the brother of Xiao Jinting, he felt this was an opportunity for the Xu family to proper. He asked Xu Jin to reach Xu Kai, but Xu Jin didn’t do anything.
Xu Chang was anxious, so he sent his men to see Xu Wenzhe at Green Cloud Immortal Sect, but they got thrown out.
He felt that something was wrong, so he made an investigation. He got furious.
He did not expect Xu Jin to be on foul terms with Xu Kai.
Xu Chang was angry with Xu Jin, who made the decision on his own and persecuted Xu Kai. He hated that Xu Jin hid his blunder and missed the chance to correct the mistake.
Back then, the elders of the family had forced Xu Kai to leave, and everyone kept Xu Chang in the dark. However, one couldn’t wrap fire in paper.
Xu Chang had hoped to build some connections with Xiao Jinting. After knowing what Xu Jin and Li Shuangshuang had done, he only hoped that Xiao Jingfeng would not hold grudges against his family.
Xu Chang sighed in his heart. The Xu family used to be a dignified family with three Golden Cores. However, many families were forced by the major sects to fight in war as cannon fodder. Two of their Golden Core cultivators had their cores broken by demonic cultivators and passed away. After that, the family went downhill. Xu Chang was the only Golden Core left in the family, and the status of the family was not stable.
…
Reading the message from the Li family, Li Shuangshuang’s heart sank.
She thought that the Xu family might scold her after Xiao Xiaofu’s identity was exposed. To her surprise, her own family took the lead to blame her.
Xu Jin went up to her. She looked at his face and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Grandfather asked us to apologize to Xu Kai and Xiao Xiaofu,” Xu Jin said.
“Apologize? It is useless!”
Li Shuangshuang’s face darkened. After she knew Xiao Xiaofu was Xiao Jinting’s nephew, she thought of apologizing to him. But she didn’t think Xiao Xiaofu would be so kind as to forgive her.
Li Shuangshuang knew very well that if she went to apologize, Xiao Xiaofu would not accept it, so she did nothing.
Xu Jin’s heart was cold. The secret realm was about to open, but his grandfather scolded him severely, not afraid of upsetting him and seeing him die in the realm.
“It’s all your fault. Xu Kai had left the family, but you would not let him off,” Xu Jin said sullenly.
If they had not set up the Xiao family, they would have had the chance to make it up, but… Even if the Xu family could make a friend of the Xiao family, Xiao Xiaofu would not make things easy for him.
Li Shuangshuang’s face got ferocious. “What do you mean? You are blaming me. You agreed to do that!”
“You are a jinx. If you had not alienated us, I would not have set up Xu Kai. He is my cousin after all.”
Li Shuang sneered, “Now he is your cousin. Why did you do that to him before? Don’t pass the buck to me. If you hadn’t been jealous of him for a long time, you would not have worked with me.”
Xu Jin and Li Shuang started to bicker.
