“Why are they so interested in the Tree of Magic Weapons?” asked Xu Lingfeng in bewilderment.
Li Yi took out a wooden badger and said, “Because of this.”
Xu Lingfeng took the wooden badger and wore a complicated expression. The Tree of Magical Weapons was a symbol of the Xu family. Once the descendent was born, he was given a wooden badger of their identity. Xu Lingfeng had thought he would never see his son’s wooden badger, and he felt surprised when it was in front of him again.
“They came here because of the wooden badger. After I bought the pendant at the auction, they came to me,” said Li Yi.
Xu Lingfeng scratched his head and said, “Why didn’t they come to me?” If they had come to him first, he would have made such an embarrassing blunder.
“Why should they come to you first? Thankfully, they came to me first. If they had talked to you first, we would have been in big trouble.” Li Yi snorted softly.
Xu Lingfeng was speechless.
Looking at Xu Lingfeng’s sullen face, Li Yi said with jealousy, “In fact, our son and Xiao Jinting like you a lot.”
Xu Lingfeng paused. His eyes lit up. He asked, “Really? Do they like me?”
Li Yi nodded and said, “Yeah.” Xu Lingfeng was lucky. Although he made a mess, Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan somehow liked him.
Xu Lingfeng scratched his head and said, “Why didn’t Muan tell me he’s my son? He said nothing when I kidnapped him.”
Looking back, Xu Lingfeng felt weird. When he kidnapped Xu Muan, Xu Muan was not frightened, while Xu Lingfeng was anxious.
“Muan said Xiao Jinting has concubines,” Xu Lingfeng said.
Li Yi nodded and said, “I know. He was joking with you.”
Xu Lingfeng was speechless. Joking? He thought Xu Muan was making fun of him.
“Xiao Jinting likes to call me Mr. Xu.” Xu Lingfeng had thought Xiao Jinting did that to show respect and befriend him, but now he realized that Xiao Jinting was taking advantage of him.
“He’s a bastard,” said Xu Lingfeng resentfully.
Li Yi shrugged and said, “But our son likes him. In Muan’s eyes, you are not as important as a finger of Xiao Jinting.”
Xu Lingfeng was lost for words.
Li Yi shook his head. He knew that Xu Lingfeng and he were strangers to Xu Muan even though they were related in blood. Xiao Jinting was the one who got through all the difficulties with Xu Muan all along.
They lost Xu Muan for some reason back then, but that didn’t change the fact. Xu Muan was alive and had a good life, and Li Yi was content.
Thinking of the hardships that Xu Muan suffered, Li Yi felt upset. The subordinate who Xu Lingfeng entrusted the child might have died. He must have hoped the child would be surnamed Xu, so he gave the child to Xu Fu without making any investigation if the latter was the right person to bring up the child.
…
After Xu Lingfeng went back to the Xu house, he chopped a big branch off the biggest Tree of Magical Weapons.
“Second Uncle, what are you doing?” Xu Peng frowned.
Xu Lingfeng said casually, “I want to refine weapons with it.”
Xu Peng’s face darkened. He said helplessly, “Second Uncle, the juice is more useful than the branch when it comes to refining weapons.”
“I know, but I think of a new way to refine weapons,” said Xu Lingfeng indifferently. He put the branch in his space ring and left happily without looking at his nephews.
“Second Uncle looks happy,” said Xu Peng.
“The weapons refined with the branch are bad. Our family has tried many times. He shouldn’t attempt out of no reason,” said Xu Cheng.
“It’s said that Xiao Jinting is interested in the Tree of Magical Weapons. It might be a gift for Xiao Jinting,” said Li Rao.
“Second Uncle hates Xiao Jinting.” Xu Peng narrowed his eyes. Xu Lingfeng had been biased against Xiao Jinting. If the branch was for Xiao Jinting, something must be very wrong.
Xu Lingfeng did chop off the branch for Xiao Jinting. He was amazed by the gift from Xiao Jinting.
Although Xiao Jinting’s herbs and pills were given to Li Yi, they were in two portions. One was for Xu Lingfeng, who knew it without any words. Xu Lingfeng felt guilty because of that.
Xu Lingfeng went back to Li Yi’s house.
“I’ve got it.” He tossed the branch at the ground
Li Yi frowned and said, “Muan said a small twig is enough. You bring such a big piece. Your family will complain again.”
Xu Lingfeng said indifferently, “It’s okay. The elders never get satisfied with me.”
If he gave Xu Muan a small twig, it was embarrassing. Since they met, his son had not asked him for anything. The only thing that Xu Muan needed was the tree, and Xu Lingfeng made up his mind to do it neatly.
Li Yi was speechless. Xu Lingfeng didn’t care about his future in the family at all.
