“I heard that Xie Wanran was very cold to other cultivators, but she was interested in you. Perhaps you know something different.”
Xiao Jinting paused for a moment and said, “Mr. Qiu, you’re joking. Miss Xie chatted with me a few times because of the good relationship between the two sects. She was passionate towards Mr. Mu.”
Every time when he was with Qiu Yun, Xiao Jinting felt like he was being seen through. Afraid that Qiu Yun would continue to ask more questions, he changed the topic and distracted Qiu Yun with the mention of Mu Yun.
As expected, Qiu Yun turned grim. Xiao Jinting let out a sigh of relief.
“What’s wrong? You look relieved.” Xu Muan came out and asked.
“I finally sent Qiu Yun away,” Xiao Jinting said with ease as though he had just finished his exam.
“You looked relieved. Every time you meet Mr. Qiu, you look like a mouse seeing a cat.”
“He is scary. I’m not the only one who is afraid of him. Mu Yun is also afraid of him. I’m not ashamed. This guy seems to have guessed that I killed Xie Wanran,” Xiao Jinting said.
Xu Muan said indifferently, “It’s fine if he knows. Anyway, he doesn’t know the whole thing. Besides, he won’t turn you in.”
“You’re right!”
Qiu Yun knew there was something wrong with Xie Wanran, but he didn’t know what it was. Qiu Yun should know that there was something wrong with him, but he was only suspecting.
…
Xiao Xiaodong entered the room and asked, “Father, are you looking for me?”
“Yes. Take it.” Xiao Jinting tossed a jade box at Xiao Xiaodong.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at the box and said, “Father, is it…”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, it’s what you are longing for. Take it to Chen Lifeng. He will be very happy. You forget about your parents after you get married.”
Xiao Xiaodong smiled awkwardly. “Father, what are you talking about? How could I forget about you and Daddy?”
Xiao Jinting waved his hand and said, “All right. Just take it. Mr. Chen has been picking on you. Gifts please people. After he takes this, he will treat you well.”
“Thank you, Father,” Xiao Xiaodong said hurriedly.
On Chen Lifeng’s hill.
Chen Lifeng looked at Xiao Xiaodong and Chen Xu and asked in surprise, “Didn’t you go to Green Cloud Immortal Sect? Why are you back so soon? Xiaodong, I heard that your parents just came back. Why don’t you spend more time with them?”
“I was supposed to stay with them for a while, but I got a new treasure that is useful to you, so I hurried over.”
Chen Lifeng glanced at Xiao Xiaodong and snorted. “What good things can you bring out? Don’t fool me with trash.”
Chen Xu said sullenly, “Grandfather, don’t grab it when you see it.”
Chen Lifeng’s face darkened. “Mind your manners.”
Chen Lifeng was very happy that Xiao Xiaodong brought over the treasure in a hurry, but he was upset that Xiao Xiaodong took away Chen Xu and came back after they had a baby, so he liked to pick on Xiao Xiaodong.
“Grandfather, please take a look to see if it’s good, ” Xiao Xiaodong said sincerely.
Chen Lifeng looked at Xiao Xiaodong’s confident expression and got curious.
Xiao Xiaodong opened the jade box, and Chen Lifeng abruptly stood up. “It’s a Limb Regenerating Pill. Where did you get it?”
“Actually, I got it long time ago, but I didn’t know what kind of pill it is. I’ve been reading ancient books recently and found this pill is the Limb Regenerating Pill,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
Chen Lifeng stared at Xiao Xiaodong and said, “You had good gains in Nebula!”
Xiao Xiaodong smiled shyly and said, “It’s not bad.”
Chen Lifeng glanced at Chen Xu and said, “Xu’er, it seems that you hid a lot from me!”
Chen Xu smiled guiltily and said, “No, I didn’t.”
Chen Lifeng looked at Xiao Xiaodong and said solemnly, “I’ll accept this gift. Thank you.”
“I’m glad you like it, Grandfather,” Xiao Xiaodong said sweetly.
“Nebula Island is not bad. If I have the chance, I’d like to go and take a look. The Heavenly God Sect seems to be repairing the teleportation array that damaged by you,” Chen Lifeng said.
Xiao Xiaodong paused and asked, “Repairing the teleportation array?”
Chen Lifeng looked at Xiao Xiaodong’s nervous expression and smiled mockingly. “What’s wrong? Are you nervous? Are there any ferocious beasts on the other end of the teleportation array?”
Xiao Xiaodong smiled and said, “No. Grandfather, you must be joking.”
“Don’t worry. When you arrived in Nebula, you only destroyed the edges of the teleportation array. Therefore, it was easier to repair it. However, when you came back from Nebula, you destroyed the core of the array. That makes the repairing very difficult,” Chen Lifeng said.
Xiao Xiaodong let out a sigh of relief and said, “Grandfather, how long will it take them to finish the job?”
“This depends on who is repairing it. If the array master comes to fix it, it would be finished quickly. However, the Heavenly God Sect has sent only two Golden Core cultivators there, so the progress is slow,” Chen Lifeng said.
“Oh, I see.”
“I heard from Xu’er that demonic pills and spiritual stones are abundant in Nebula, but the cultivation level there is much lower. It would benefit both worlds if we can exchange on a quid pro quo basis,” Chen Lifeng said.
Xiao Xiaodong narrowed his eyes. He didn’t know how the two worlds would benefit from communicating with each other. He only knew that the array couldn’t be fixed for the time being.
