Xu Muan entered the yard and said, “Hi, Father. Hi, Daddy.”
Xu Lingfeng felt complicated. He had been waiting for this moment for several decades. He burst out into tears.
Li Yi pointed at the branch on the ground and said, “This is a branch from the Tree of Magical Weapons. What are you going to do with it? Is it enough?”
Xu Muan quickly said, “It’s enough. In fact, it’s too much.”
The seedlings of the tree were precious, but such a big branch was more precious. He guessed his father would be scolded for chopping it off. Xu Muan felt warm at the sight of the anticipation on Xu Lingfeng’s face. He was touched.
Xu Lingfeng looked at Xu Muan and said hesitantly, “Muan, are you going to grow the tree? It’s difficult to grow one. If you insist on growing it, I have the guidance of growing the tree.”
“Father, thank you.” Although Xu Muan thought Xiao Jinting would have no problem in growing the tree with the Growing Earth and spiritual spring, it would make it easier with the guidance.
Xu Lingfeng took out a big bucket of tree juice.
“This is the juice of the Tree of Magical Weapons. If you can’t grow the tree, you can use it.” Xu Lingfeng pushed the bucket to Xu Muan.
Xu Muan was moved. The tree juice was very precious, but Xu Lingfeng gave him a bucket of it.
“Thank you, Father,” said Xu Muan gratefully.
Xu Lingfeng said awkwardly, “Don’t mention it. You have been away from home since you were small, and I haven’t done anything for you as your father.”
He sounded wistful.
“When are you leaving?” asked Li Yi
“Jinting is purchasing some resources, and it will take around seven days,” replied Xu Muan.
Li Yi looked and him and thought for a while. “List the resources that you need. You can save time and ask your father for advice on weapon refining. He’s good at nothing but refining weapons.”
Knowing that Li Yi was creating chances for him to spend more time with his son and son-in-law, Xu Lingfeng quickly said, “Yes. The weapon refinery of the Xu family is well known, and I’m one of the best in the family.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Father, thank you.”
Xu Lingfeng and Li Yi accompanied Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan to sell some spiritual herbs. They had connections with all kinds of people on the continent, and it saved Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan a lot of time with their help.
Li Yi’s advancement to Nascent Soul was shocking, and Xu Lingfeng was a famous figure in the Green Continent, so Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan attracted much attention when they came out with them.
As they strolled on the street, Li Yi was called back home by Li Xun.
…
At the Li house.
Li Xun looked at Li Yi with a mixture of gratitude and reproach.
He had advised Li Yi to take his time and not to rush. To his surprise, Li Yi tried the advancement and made it.
After Li Yi made it, he didn’t strengthen his cultivation and instead went out of seclusion in a hurry. Following that, he spent time with Xiao Jinting in his courtyard. People would think Li Yi had fallen out with the Li family.
“Yi, why did you come of seclusion in a hurry?” asked Li Yun.
Li Yi sighed in his heart. He didn’t want to come out of seclusion so soon, but Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan were leaving. How could he focus on cultivating in seclusion? Thankfully, he advanced to Nascent Soul smoothly without any accident.
“I’m feeling well, and I don’t think I need recuperation,” said Li Yi.
“You see Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan a lot these days. Are they related to your sudden advancement?” asked Li Xun.
Li Yi nodded and said, “Yes. Muan is my son.”
These days, many people had been investigating Xu Muan. Li Yi was certain that his relationship with Xu Muan would be exposed soon. However, he didn’t have to worry much because Xiao Jinting was powerful, and Xu Muan’s cultivation level was not low. Now that he had advanced to Nascent Soul, Li Yi thought Xu Wang should be intimidated.
“Yi, you are lucky. You son has been away from you for so many years, and he managed to have good cultivation, unlike my worthless sons, who have wasted my spiritual stones,” said Li Xun wistfully.
Li Yi felt he was lucky. His son didn’t have a good aptitude, and he grew up in the Barbarian Continent, where Establishment Foundation cultivators were rare. Muan was blessed. He made it to the advanced level of Golden Core. He heard that Muan took the Spirit Cleansing Pill and became a single root.
…
“Father, we seem to be stalked,” said Xu Muan.
“Ignore them.” Xu Lingfeng was annoyed. These days, Xu Peng and his brothers kept asking him about the background of Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan.
It dawned on Xu Lingfeng. Li Yi had got suspicious of the identities of Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan, so had his brother. Xu Lingfeng thought it was stupid of him to know nothing about this. He even thought that Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan were his rivals and got misled, making a mess of everything.
