Chapter 431
Li Yi soon got the information on Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan, as well as Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Xiaofan.
“Xu Muan came from the Barbarian Continent and joined Green Cloud Immortal Sect in Cloud Continent. The information is not complete. I’ve sent someone to the Barbarian Continent to investigate further,” Li Shuang said.
“The Xiao family is unusual. All of them have the outstanding aptitude, but their foundation is too weak. In another one or two hundred years, they will be a powerful family,” Li Yi looked at the information in his hand and said.
Li Shuang lowered his head and thought to himself, “Xu Muan’s age is similar to Young Master’s son. If he is the lost child, Young Master will forgive Mr. Xu.”
“I’ll invite Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan to come tomorrow and share with them the tips of taming demonic beasts,” Li Yi said.
“Tomorrow? So soon?”
Li Yi glanced at Li Shuang and asked hesitantly, “Do you think I’m too impatient?”
Li Shuang looked at Li Yi’s face and smiled. “Not at all. I’ll invite them.”
“Don’t tell Xu Lingfeng about this,” Li Yi said seriously.
Li Shuang looked at Li Yi and asked in confusion, “Young Master, are you worried about Mr. Xu?”
Li Yi shook her head and said, “Xu Lingfeng is too simple. If we tell him about this, Xu Wang will know soon. We have to keep it a secret. Besides, Xu Muan might not be my son. I don’t want Xu Lingfeng to get disappointed in the end.”
Li Yu nodded and said, “Okay.”
…
Xiao Jinting toyed with the invitation in his hand, amusement in his eyes.
“What’s wrong?” asked Xu Muan.
“Li Yi invited us to share with us the tip of cultivating spiritual insects,” Xiao Jinting said.
Xu Muan said happily, “This is a good thing!”
“It is indeed a good thing. The Li family’s technique of taming beasts has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. I heard that Li Yi is one of the best among them. It’d be nice if we can get his advice.”
At first, Xiao Jinting used the excuse of asking for Li Yi’s advice on cultivating spiritual insects to get in touch with him. However, after he got the incomplete method of cultivating the spiritual insects, Xiao Jinting found it useful. Even though Li Yi shared a little bit of the beast taming method with him, Xiao Jinting benefited a lot from it. If he had a queen bee, he would have one more trump card in the battle against the enemy. Besides, the royal jelly produced by the queen been was precious.
Xu Muan squinted, thoughts coming across his mind.
Xiao Jinting looked at Xu Muan’s face and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Li Yi was quite cold to us before, but now he suddenly invites us warmly. It’s really surprising,” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jinting tilted his head and thought for a moment, “Do you think he has figured out something?”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “I think the cultivator beside Li Yi is not simple. He might have discovered something.”
“It’s possible. From Li Yi’s way of doing things, he isn’t a bad person. We can get in touch with him first.”
“Let’s go to sleep. We are going there tomorrow,” Xu Muan said.
…
“Why do you come again?” Xu Lingfeng was displeased to see Xiao Jinting at the door.
Xiao Jinting wore a curious expression. Xu Lingfeng was not allowed to enter Li Yi’s courtyard yesterday, and he followed them inside. Now he had the nerve to ask why they came.
“Muan and I are invited by Mr. Li,” Xiao Jinting said.
Xu Lingfeng asked suspiciously, “Are you Invited?”
Xiao Jinting nodded and handed the invitation letter to Xu Lingfeng. “Yes, here is the invitation.”
Xu Lingfeng checked the letter and looked at Xiao Jinting suspiciously, “Why does Yi suddenly invite you? Did you play some dirty tricks on him?”
Xiao Jinting smiled helplessly and said, “Mr. Xu, you are thinking too much.”
Li Shuang opened the door and came out. “Hello, Elder Xiao, Elder Xu, there you are. Come on in.”
Xu Lingfeng was confused. “Uncle Li, why does Yi invite them?”
“Young Master is suddenly interested in the queen bee, so he invites them to share the knowledge. Elder Xiao, if you cultivate a queen bee and have the royal jelly, please share some with Young Master,” Li Shuang said with a smile.
Xiao Jinting nodded and quickly said, “I will, to be sure.”
Xu Lingfeng turned to Xiao Jinting with displeasure in his eyes.
Xiao Jinting sent a mental message to Xu Muan in confusion, “Xu Lingfeng doesn’t seem to like me very much!” He was not happy to be detested by a man who might be his father-in-law.
Xu Muan smiled and replied, “He seems to be jealous of you.”
Xiao Jinting rolled his eyes and thought, “It’s possible!”
