Xiao Xiaodong followed his gaze and said, “It’s grand.”
He had thought the celebration for his father’s advancement to Nascent Soul was good enough, but he felt the wedding held by the Li and Xu families was much grander.
“The Xu and Li families are powerful, and it’s normal that they hold a grand wedding,” said Xiao Jinting.
“I heard that there is a Deity Transformation cultivator in the Xu family,” said Xiao Xiaodong.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “That’s what I heard too.”
He found Deity Transformation cultivations weird, who didn’t like to come out although they were powerful. The Deity Transformation cultivator in the Xu family hadn’t made any moves for several hundred years.
…
When Xu Lingfeng left Li Yi’s courtyard, he met Xu Yuanchang.
“Father, why are you here?” asked Xu Lingfeng.
Xu Yuanchang looked at Xu Lingfeng sullenly. “Did Li Yi drive you out again?”
Xu Lingfeng scratched his head and said awkwardly, “Yi treats me much better than before. I think he will forgive me in a few years.”
Xu Yuanchang looked at him and said sulkily, “You said the same thing several decades before. I’m fed up with it.”
Xu Lingfeng creased his brows and said seriously, “I mean it this time.”
Xu Yuanchang said, “We have the best blood in the family, but I have only two sons. You don’t get along with your brother and cause trouble. If Li Yi can’t come back to you, you should have a few concubines.”
Xu Lingfeng frowned and said, “Father, what are you talking about? If I have concubines, Yi won’t forgive me. This is a bad idea.”
Xu Yuanchang said in anger, “Okay, my idea is bad. What good idea do you have? Li Yi is only a Golden Core, and you are a Nascent Soul, but you look like a slave in front of me. How shameless.”
Xu Lingfeng lowered his head and said in depression, “If it weren’t for me, Yi would have advanced to Nascent Soul. It’s my fault.”
Xu Yuanchang sighed and said, “You have to move on. Li Yi failed to advance to Nascent Soul, and he is getting old. I see that the Li family doesn’t favor him as before.”
Big families were realistic. The better the descendent performed, the more resources they got. After Li Yi failed in the advancement to Nascent Souls, his family didn’t think he was likely to make it at the second attempt, so he got fewer resources than before.
Xu Lingfeng said indignantly, “Father, I didn’t marry Li Yi because of his family.”
Xu Yuanchang said sullenly, “I know. You love each other, but it’s useless. You have separated for almost one hundred years. Do you want to be alone for the rest of your life?”
“Father, you’ve got to have some faith in me. I’ll get Yi back soon,” said Xu Lingfeng.
Xu Yuanchang didn’t believe him because he had heard the same promise too many times. “I heard that Li Yi bid a pendant at an auction. Is it related to your son? If yes, you might…”
Xu Lingfeng shook his head in dismay. “Yi told me that the pendant looked similar, and it didn’t belong to my son.”
Xu Yuanchang sighed. “Oh, I see. By the way, I heard that you kidnapped Xiao Jinting’s spouse. What were you thinking? Although we are not afraid of Green Cloud Immortal Sect, we don’t have to make an enemy of them.”
“It’s been solved,” said Xu Lingfeng.
Xu Yuanchang asked sulkily, “What do you mean?”
Xu Lingfeng replied lightly, “I said it’s solved.”
Xu Yuanchang looked at Xu Lingfeng helplessly.
He asked, “What’s wrong with you and your brother. You didn’t go to his son’s wedding. You are Xu Wan’s uncle.”
Xu Lingfeng said indifferently, “Is only his son’s wedding. Xu Wang has so many sons, and there are so many weddings. If I have to attend every one of them, I’ll be too busy.”
Xu Yuanchang said sulkily, “It’s an excuse. You are not out of town, and you should go to the wedding.”
Xu Lingfeng nodded and said, “I hate my brother, so I don’t want to attend the wedding.”
Xu Yuanchang looked at Xu Lingfeng and breathed heavily. He sighed eventually.
“Do you hate your brother so much?” he said helplessly.
Xu Lingfeng frowned and said, “Father, you made a mistake. He hates me.”
Xu Yuanchang looked at Xu Lingfeng and sighed again. “Both of you don’t listen to me. Take care of yourselves.”
…
At the Xu house.
“Father, Grandfather said that the pendant doesn’t belong to my cousin, but it looks similar,” said Xu Peng.
Xu Wang narrowed his eyes and said, “Really? It’s weird that the pendant showed up from nowhere.”
“Second Uncle doesn’t bother to pretend at all. He didn’t attend Xu Wan’s wedding when he was in town,” said Xu Peng sullenly.
“He doesn’t care about anything. He acts as he likes,” said Xu Wang.
Xu Peng nodded and said, “That’s true. It’s a pity that Xiao Jinting is a coward. His spouse was caught by Xu Lingfeng, and he didn’t get angry. What a pushover.”
“Li Yi is weird. I heard that he was helping Xiao Jinting cultivate the Golden Bee Queen without holding back,” said Xu Wang.
Xu Peng said, “Does Li Yi want to have the royal jelly from the queen bee? It is good for the advancement to Nascent Soul.”
Xu Wan echoed, “Li Yi failed once. His last attempt exhausted all his strength. The Li family had been paying less attention to Li Yi. If he wants to advance to Nascent Soul, he has to get help outside the family.”
