“Finally you come out!” Qiu Yun said.
Xiao Jinting nodded, “Yeah. I feel hungry after the cultivation. I’m going out to grab a bite.”
“Do you know something big has happened outside?” Qiu Yun asked.
Xiao Jinting hastily asked, “Could you please tell me, Mr. Qiu?”
“Someone took out an Ice Marrow Pill, but he disagreed to meet and exchange. However, Ice Palace can’t tell if the pill is real or not from the image on the screen. Therefore, the deal is not made for the time being,” said Qiu Yun.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “If it were me, I wouldn’t agree to a face-to-face deal. Even if Ice Palace performs its promise, other cultivators would be jealous if they know who got the treasures.”
“Not necessarily. A Nascent Soul at the advanced level from Heavenly God Sect and Killing Sect would not be afraid of this. If he meets to make the deal, he might get a favor from the Ice Palace’s Grand Elder.”
Xiao Jinting nodded. The Nascent Souls were powerful, while he was only a Golden Core. Therefore, he had to hide his identity and stay cautious.
“That’s right. Those sects are powerful, and no one dares to offend them,” Xiao Jinting said with a smile.
“Therefore, many people suspect that the cultivator who took out this pill shouldn’t have high cultivation. At most, he is at the preliminary or medium level of Nascent Soul,” said Qiu Yun.
Xiao Jinting was speechless. The cultivators had flattered him. He was not a Nascent Soul, and he was only a Golden Core.
“Maybe the pill is fake, so that person didn’t dare to meet them in person,” Mu Yun narrowed his eyes.
“Is it possible? Is there anyone who dares to trick Ice Palace?”
“Why not? Three thousand transmission boxes have been rented out, and it involved a thousand forces. Although Ice Palace is powerful, it can’t afford to offend so many forces at one time.” Mu Yun said lazily while crossing his arms over his chest. “Besides, this could be a drama invented by some force which has grudge against Ice Palace.”
Qiu Yun rubbed his chin and said, “I think Ice Palace will give in although it didn’t agree to the deal immediately.”
Mu Yun narrowed his eyes. He thought alike. The reward was tempting, but there was a Deity Transformation cultivator behind Bing Ning. The treasures were nothing to a Deity. Bing Wu had made painstaking efforts to keep Bing Ning alive, and she would not give up.
Xiao Jinting pursed his mouth. He also thought Ice Palace would make compromise, so he was not anxious.

Qiao Xiang went back to his room and glanced at Luo Yuting, stretching himself out on the bed with a bored look on his face.
Luo Yuting looked at him, feeling a chill in her heart.
She went up to him and asked “Are you tired? Do you want me to massage your shoulders?”
Qiao Xiang waved his hand and said with disgust, “No, thank you.”
He felt annoyed at the sight of Luo Yuting, wondering why he took a fancy to her before. His wife had ordinary aptitude and connections, and she was useless to him.
Qiao Xiang regretted marrying her with grand ceremony. He should have taken her as his concubine and saved the position of his wife for a better woman. He hated himself for being enchanted by her. He didn’t listen to the elders, and he married her.
After they came to Sky City, Qiao Xiang felt that his vision had suddenly widened. It turned out that Nascent Souls were not respected everywhere. The Grand Elder of the sect had to stay humble here.
Qiao Xiang was envious when he saw Xiao Jinting was making friends with the help of Chen Lifeng, who was at the medium level of Nascent Soul and better respected than Nangong Cheng.
He had met a female cultivator from Cloud Illusion Palace. Her grandfather was a Nascent Soul at medium level. Unfortunately, the female practitioner had several admirers, among whom he was not outstanding. His chance was slim because of Luo Yuting.
Qiao Xiang looked at Luo Yuting and felt that she was not worthy of him.
Luo Yuting looked at Qiao Xiang, who closed his eyes, and knew he was not sleeping. He didn’t want to talk to her, and he pretended to take a rest.
“I saw Qiu Yun and Mu Yun today. They are very close,” Luo Yuting said. Qiu Yun was ugly. Why did Mu Yun like him?
“They had started it long time ago. What’s so strange?” Qiao Xiang said coldly. Nangong Cheng had told Qiao Xiang a long time ago that Qiu Yun was Cheng Yishu.
Luo Yuting felt sad when she saw Qiao Xiang was reluctant to talk to her.
