Li Yi rushed over. Xu Lingfeng felt awkward and guilty at the sight of Li Yi.
“Xu Lingfeng, are you out of your mind?” Li Yi scolded angrily.
“Mr. Li, please don’t blame Mr. Xu. He is playing a game with Muan.” Xiao Jinting smiled and turned to Xu Lingfeng. “Mr. Xu, if you want to have the Fruit of Life, you can exchange the corpse of the centipede for it.”
Xu Lingfeng was taken aback, asking, “Are you interested in the centipede body?”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yes.”
“Deal,” Xu Lingfeng said.
Xiao Jinting took out a jade box and handed it to Xu Lingfeng, who opened it and checked before he thrust it into Li Yi’s hands. Li Yi didn’t accept it, turning grim.
Xu Muan popped his head out from behind Xiao Jinting and looked at Li Yi. “Mr. Li, Senior Xu means well. Please accept it.”
Xu Lingfeng looked at Xu Muan gratefully with an apologetic expression.
Li Yi glanced at Xu Muan and took the box.
Xiao Jinting waved his hand, and dozens of golden red-tail scorpions scurried out and devoured the body of the centipede.
Xu Lingfeng looked at Xiao Jinting and said in an awed tone, “Mr. Xiao, you are awesome. You not only raise a group of Golden Bees but also a nest of golden scorpions.”
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, “These scorpions are only Golden Cores and not valuable anymore. I’m wondering if I can cultivate a scorpion king.” Golden Core scorpions couldn’t attack any advanced Nascent Soul cultivators.
“Mr. Xiao, you are ambitious,” Xu Lingfeng couldn’t help but say.
Xiao Jinting waved his hand and said lightly, “Well, I can’t have too many high-level insects.”
“Mr. Li, Xu Muan and I have something else to do. We gotta go.” Xiao Jinting left with Xu Muan.
Li Yi watched them leave and opened his mouth, but he didn’t say anything.
Xu Lingfeng looked at Li Yi’s face and asked, “Yi, why do you come?”
“Why do I come? Xu Lingfeng, don’t you think you are going too far? Why did you catch Xu Muan?” Li Yi asked angrily.
“I heard that Xu Muan and Xiao Jinting are very close, so I caught Xu Muan to test them,” Xu Lingfeng said.
Li Yi was frustrated. “What has it got to do with you? Why did you test them by kidnapping?”
Xu Lingfeng smiled apologetically and said, “Because you invited them to stay with you and drove me out.”
Li Yi was speechless.
“What do you know from the test?” Li Yi asked.
“Xiao Jinting is not a good thing. Apart from Xu Muan, he has several other men. He likes to fool around. He thinks he is capable and acts recklessly,” Xu Lingfeng said without thinking.
Li Yi looked at Xu Lingfeng and asked suspiciously, “How do you know?”
“Xu Muan told me,” Xu Lingfeng said without hesitation.
“Did he say so?” Li Yi didn’t believe him.
Xu Lingfeng nodded and said, “Yeah. Xu Muan admitted that Xiao Jinting had quite a few other men. Xu Muan is crazy. He feels happy about that.”
Li Yi felt frustrated with Xu Lingfeng.
“You must have misunderstood him. Don’t mess with these two people,” Li Yi warned solemnly.
Xu Lingfeng’s face darkened, and he said, “Yi, do you like Xiao Jinting?” Xu Lingfeng had to admit that Xiao Jinting was a powerful competitor because the latter had a higher cultivation level with Nascent Soul puppet, Golden Bees, and Golden Red-tail Scorpions.
Li Yi nodded and said impatiently, “Yeah. I like him. Don’t bother him anymore.”
Xu Lingfeng was speechless.
…
Xiao Jinting looked at Xu Muan and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
Xu Muan nodded. “I’m okay. Don’t worry.”
“Xu Lingfeng is…” Xiao Jinting shook his head, feeling helpless.
“The centipede came for me, not Xu Lingfeng.” Xu Muan was glad that Xiao Jinting left the puppet to him.
“Xu Lingfeng is stupid,” Xiao Jinting said sulkily.
“But his cultivation level is high,” Xu Muan said.
“By the way, Li Yi knows about the pendant,” Xiao Jinting said.
Xu Muan was taken aback. “Really? What did he say?”
“Li Yi told me that Xu Lingfeng and Xu Wang were close when he married into the Xu family, but he thought Xu Wang was not simple and asked Xu Lingfeng to put on guard.”
“However, Xu Lingfeng didn’t take his advice seriously. Later, when Xu Lingfeng took the child out for a trip, he encountered an assassination. He was defeated and fled. On the way, he lost the child. Later, when Xu Lingfeng investigated it, he found Xu Wang was involved.”
Xu Muan pursed his lips and said, “Oh, I see.” Xu Muan got almost the same information.
However, it was only a guess now. If he wanted to prove his relationship with Li Yi and Xu Lingfeng, he had to verify his bloodline.
“The cultivator who tried to kill you might be sent by Xu Wang. Even if you’re Xu Lingfeng’s son, you’d better keep it a secret,” Xiao Jinting said solemnly.
Xu Muan was confused. “Why did Xu Wang do this? Even if Xu Lingfeng is alive, he shouldn’t get in his way. Why is he so aggressive?”
“According to Li Yi, the Xu family has an altar that can help the Xu family member advance to Deity Transformation, but the altar only opens once every two thousand years,” Xiao Jinting explained.
“Oh, I see,” Xu Muan said.
“How does it feel to be kidnapped by someone who might be your father?” Xiao Jinting asked curiously.
“Not too bad. It’s a unique experience.” Xu Muan smiled.
Xiao Jinting smiled.
