Chapter 418
“Father, Daddy,” Xiao Xiaodong came over with Chen Xu.
When the steward heard how Xiao Xiaodong addressed them, he almost fell to the ground.
He had thought that Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan were Xiao Xiaodong’s disciples, so he came over to befriend them. To his surprise, they were Xiao Xiaodong’s parents.
The cultivation of the parents would not be inferior to the son. They must have concealed their strength.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at the steward’s pale face and asked, “Why are you here?”
“I’m here…”
Xiao Jinting looked at Xiao Xiaodong and said, “You have scared him. He is here to give you a gift. Look, here it is.”
Xiao Xiaodong glanced at the steward and said, “Oh, I see. Thank you.”
The steward trembled, “Senior, don’t mention it.”
Chen Xu looked at the steward, amused.
The steward blushed and quickly ran away.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Jinting and said, “Father, he is a coward. He was scared out of his wits before I did anything to him. People would think I’m bullying him.”
“Come on, he means well,” Xiao Jinting said.
Chen Xu smiled and said, “He is blind!”
“Why?” asked Xiao Jinting.
“Father, may I ask if he treated you as Xiaodong’s disciples?” asked Chen Xu.
Xiao Jinting nodded and asked, “Yes. How do you know?”
“He was sitting with you,” said Chen Xu.
Xiao Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, “He is blind.”
Xiao Jinting shook his head, “You can’t say that. I have disguised myself too well.”
Xiao Xiaodong smiled and said, “Yes, of course.”
“Father, is this stone very precious?” asked Xiao Xiaodong.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yes, it is unusual. Have you figured it out?”
Xiao Xiaodong smiled and said, “I don’t have a sharp eye like you. But from the way you talked to the steward, it must be precious.”
Xiao Jinting glared at Xiao Xiaodong and said sulkily, “What nonsense are you talking? Am I a snob?”
“Father, is there anything special about this stone?” asked Chen Xu.
“This is not a stone, but a spiritual plant,” said Xiao Jinting.
Chen Xu paused for a moment. Something came across his mind, and he said in surprise, “Spiritual plant? Is it the stony ganodorma lucidum that can bring death to life and regenerate flesh?”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Xu’er is knowledgeable.”
“Congratulations, Father. You come out for a stroll and get such a treasure. The steward probably doesn’t know what it is,” said Chen Xu happily.
Xiao Jinting nodded, “You are right.”
Even Nascent Souls would be tempted by the stony ganodorma lucidum. The steward gave Xiaodong this gift because he didn’t know its value. “I owe it to Xiaodong. The steward would not have come to apologize if he hadn’t known Xiaodong is a master.”
Xiao Xiaodong smiled helplessly and said, “Father, you’re flattering me.”
Chen Xu smiled and said, “It seems that the steward is blind.”
Xiao Jinting didn’t say anything else.
…
Xiao Jingfeng and Mu Shuyu went up to them. Xiao Jingfeng hesitated for a moment before he said to Xiao Jinting, “Father is out of town. Qingyan’s family is at home. Do you like to visit them?”
Xiao Jinting shook his head. “No, I’m not going.”
He found that the Xiao family in the Barbarian Continent was mostly the descendants of Xiao Qingyan. People here liked to have as many children as possible. After the Xiao family grew stronger, Xiao Yuefeng and Xiao Yuerong married many concubines and had quite some children.
The Xiao family was big now.
In Xiao Jinting’s last life, people thought it was a blessing to have four generations under the same roof. Xiao Jinting thought Xiao Qingyan was lucky. Although he didn’t make any progress in cultivation, he had five generations under the same roof.
Xiao Jinting had a bad opinion of Xiao Qingyan’s two arrogant sons, so he did not want to talk to them.
Xiao Jinting asked Xu Muan, “Do you want to go back to the Xu family?”
Xu Muan hesitated and frowned. “No, I don’t want to.”
Xu Muan took a deep breath. Ever since he was a child, he had been treated differently from Xu Guanghua. He had taken up the house chores, such as laundry, cooking, and cleaning. No matter how much he did, Xu Fu didn’t take him as his son. In the end, his father traded him with the Xiao family for the resources, which he gave Xu Guanghua for cultivation.
Xu Muan thought that when his father sold him, he had cut all his ties with the Xu family, so he did not want to go visit them.
Xiao Jingfeng glanced at Xu Muan. He opened his mouth, but he did not say anything.
“Brother, where has Father gone?” asked Xiao Jinting.
Xiao Jingfeng said, “He seems to have gone on an adventure.”
After Xiao Jingfeng left the continent, Xiao Linfeng left the Xiao family. For an Establishment Foundation cultivator, the Xiao family was too small. Xiao Linfeng was not satisfied with a peaceful life.
