Chapter 377
Chen Xu and Xiao Xiaodong led the team into Buzhou Mountain to investigate.
They found that there were quite many weird arrays set up by several black-robed cultivators. Xiao Xiaodong got alert and destroyed all the arrays.
When everyone started to clear up the mountain, Xu Chang finally found an opportunity to talk with Xu Kai.
“Kai, how have you been doing?” Xu Chang asked.
Xu Kai looked at Xu Chang and thought to himself, “This ancestor cultivates in seclusion all year round, and he starts to care about me. This is the benefit of having a strong support! I used to be pushed around, but now the elder in the family talks to me respectfully.”
“I didn’t do well a few years ago, but I’m much better now, thanks to Xiaofu,” Xu Kai said lightly.
Xu Kai was not a saint. He was angry that he had been framed and expelled from the Xu family years ago. He wanted to lead a quiet life back then, but Xu Jin wouldn’t spare him. Xu Kai could not swallow his anger.
Xu Chang looked at Xu Kai’s face and felt that things were tricky.
“Kai, you are from the Xu family.” Xu Chang sighed.
Xiao Xiaofu walked over and said indifferently, “Elder Xu, you’re mistaken. Kai has been expelled from the Xu family, and he is no longer on the family list. Previously, Kai took Wenzhe back to the Xu House and intended to have him added on the list, but he was rejected. Three days ago, my uncle asked me if I like to change Wenzhe’s family name to Xiao.”
His mockery baffled Xu Chang, who felt upset and helpless.
He could tell the strength of the Xiao family from a look at Xiao Xiaodong. The Xu family was far inferior to the Xiao family, which was like the sun at high noon.
“It was a misunderstanding,” Xu Chang smiled apologetically.
Xiao Xiaofu smiled and said, “If you say so.”
He pursed his lips. He would never forget that Li Shuangshuang and Xu Jin did everything in their power to stop him from getting Wenzhe into the Spiritual Medicine Sect. He was not being petty. They would have died miserably if his uncle hadn’t come back in time.
“Xiaofu, you’re lucky to have an uncle like Elder Xiao.”
Xiao Xiaofu nodded and said, “That’s true. Fortunately, my uncle came back in time. Otherwise, our family would have been finished. Looking back, I was lucky. My father says I am blessed. Although I would encounter dangers, I would be safe in the end. As the saying goes, what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger. I am leading a good life now.”
Xu Chang stopped smiling in embarrassment, looking at Xu Kai pleadingly.
Xu Kai glanced at Xiao Xiaofu and said with a sullen face, “Ancestor, I’ve been expelled from the Xu family. You don’t need to talk about the Xu family with me.”
Xu Chang saw that Xu Kai was determined, so he sighed softly. “All right.”
Chen Xu walked towards to Xiao Xiaofu and Xu Kai. “Xiaofu, did you find something unusual?”
Xiao Xiaofu shook his head. “No. Chen Xu, how about you?”
Chen Xu nodded and said, “We found a teleportation array that seems to connect with some places. However, when we tried to activate the array, we found that it was not working. They must have discovered something was wrong and cut off the connection.”
Xiao Xiaofu frowned. The teleportation array indicated that the cultivators in black might have accomplices.
“I heard that corpse Qi has spread in many places. This is unusual. Come on, let’s go. The mission here has been completed. We have to go back and report to the sect.”
Xu Chang wanted to talk to Chen Xu, but he dropped the idea when he saw the latter kept talking to Xiao Xiaofu without looking at him.
Xu Chang cursed Xu Jin and Li Shuangshuang inwardly, thinking the punishment he gave them was too light.
…
Xiao Jinting was shocked when he read the message from Xiao Xiaodong.
He repeatedly advised Xiao Xiaodong to take more people on his missions to avoid dangers, and he was relieved when he got the affirmative reply from his son.
Xiao Jinting wondered if Chen Lifeng knew that Chen Xu went on the mission with Xiao Xiaodong. The old man would give him a hard time if he knew it.
At Green Cloud Immortal Sect.
“What did Father say?” Chen Xu asked Xiao Xiaodong.
Xiao Xiaodong shook his head. “He just told us to be careful.”
Chen Xu tilted his head and said, “Xiaodong, Scared Sect looks aggressive this time.”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded, “Yes, but you don’t have to worry about that. If the sky falls, taller ones will hold it up for us.”
“You are right,” Chen Xu said lightly.
“According to Dongcheng Yang, Sacred Sect seems to be secretly building strongholds. After they finish, they will launch attacks,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
Chen Xu nodded and said, “The major sects are prepared for that. I don’t think Sacred Sect will make it.”
“I hope so,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
…
Xiao Jingfeng looked at Xiao Xiaofu and asked, “Have you completed the mission?”
Xiao Xiaofu nodded. “Xiaodong and Chen Xu are awesome. They solved the problem easily.”
“They are capable. Learn from them. Do more and talk less,” Xiao Jingfeng reminded.
Xiao Xiaofu nodded and said solemnly, “I know, Father. By the way, I met the Xu family during the trip.”
Xiao Jingfeng’s face darkened. He asked, “Did Xu Chang come to you?”
Xiao Xiaofu nodded, “Yeah!”
“The Xu family is in a mess now. Fortunately, Xu Kai has been expelled and his name is no longer on the family list,” Xiao Jingfeng let out a sigh of relief.
Xiao Xiaofu gloated, “It serves the Xu family right.”
