Xiao Jinting said with feigned confusion, “Don’t you want it? The tripod is a treasure. Are you sure you don’t want it?”
Fu Li said in terror, “No, I don’t want it anymore.”
Xiao Jinting took back the tripod and said admiringly, “Since you don’t want it, I’ll keep it. Senior, you are generous, refusing such a precious treasure. I’m ashamed.”
Fu Li was fuming. The people who were observing them secretly were shocked by Xiao Jinting’s cheekiness
Xu Muan looked at Fu Li, who was spitting blood, and he said, “The demons have good physiques. He’s still alive after being hit by the tripod.”
Fu Li had managed to steady his breathing, but Xu Muan’s words made him spit out blood again.
Xiao Jinting said, “He has such a good physique. I guess his body must be valuable.”
Xu Muan thought for a while and said, “Although we don’t lack spiritual stones, it is nice to have more…”
Fu Li looked up at the smiling couple and thought, “Bastards.” Afraid that they were interested in his body, he swiftly ran away.
Xu Muan said, “He runs fast.”
Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “He didn’t even say goodbye. He’s rude.”
Xu Muan was lost for words.
…
Looking at the figures that had been watching in the dark, Xiao Jinting raised his eyebrow.
He said, “Misters, does any of you want my Tripod of Heaven and Earth?” The cultivators who had been eager to have the treasures instantly ran away.
Xiao Jinting muttered, “They are spineless.”
A pretty figure suddenly showed up in front of Xiao Jinting. “Mr. Xiao, you are imposing.”
Xiao Jinting looked at her and said, “Ms. Long, long time no see.”
Long Xue looked at him and gritted her teeth. “You advanced to Nascent Soul when you were away. Congratulations.”
Xiao Jinting said with a smile, “Thank you, Ms. Long. Do you come for the Tripod of Heaven and Earth?”
Long Xue stared at him and said reluctantly, “No. I heard that you are back, so I come to welcome you. I envy your rapid advancements.”
Xiao Jinting paused and smiled. “Ms. Long, you are hospitable. I’m flattered.”
Long Xue snorted softly and said, “Mr. Xiao, you chose to come here at this time. Do you come for the Tower of Babel?”
Xiao Jinting said, “Yes.”
Long Xue looked at him with jealousy and said, “It seems that you have benefited a lot from the trip to the tower. Now you come again.”
Xiao Jinting crossed his arms and didn’t retort.
Long Xue suddenly asked, “Mr. Xiao, are there any Deity Transformation cultivators at the other end of the teleportation array?”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yes.”
Long Xue took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes, deep in thought.
After exchanging the usual pleasantries with Xiao Jinting, Long Xue left.
Xu Muan said, “Long Xue wants to leave Nebula.”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “If she wants to make advancements, she has to leave.”
…
At the Ye house in Nebula.
Ye Jinlan looked at Xiao Jinting with a complicated expression. “Senior Xiao, long time no see.”
Years ago, she asked Xiao Jinting for help and secured the position of the Ye family in the business alliance.
Ye Jinlan had been thinking that Xiao Jinting was not simple, but she didn’t expect him to become a Nascent Soul in such a short time. He even beat up Fu Li, who couldn’t fight back. The old monsters of the business alliance had attempted to snatch Xiao Jinting’s treasures, but they got scared away.
Xiao Jinting bowed slightly, “Ms. Ye, I heard that you have become the head of the Ye family. Congratulations.”
Ye Jinlan smiled and said, “Thank you. Senior Xiao, you are a genius and have become a Nascent Soul. You are invincible. The Ye family is nothing to you.”
Xiao Jinting said, “I’m flattered.”
Ye Jinting looked at him and asked, “Do you come for the key of the tower of Babel?”
Every time when the tower opened, the keys would be taken away. When the tower was about to open again, the keys would be scattered everywhere. The major forces would work together and look for the keys.
Xiao Jinting smiled. It was nice to deal with smart people. “Yes, Ms. Ye. If you will give me the key, I’ll give you pills in return.”
“Yes, to be sure.” Ye Jinlan took out a key without demur.
Xiao Jinting complimented, “Ms. Ye, I like making deals with you.”
Ye Jinting smiled indifferently and said, “Senior Xiao, you are generous, and I won’t suffer any losses, making deals with you.”
Xiao Jinting said lightly, “I’m flattered. I will feel guilty if I don’t reward you generously.”
He took out several bottles of pills and handed them to Ye Jinlan.
She put them away and felt a twinge of excitement.
