Chapter 553
After Qianxia left, Xiao Jinting looked at Xu Muan with a grave face.
He thought for a while and said, “Walls have ears. It looks like we have to leave as soon as possible. We shouldn’t have used our real names.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “You are right.” He had thought the Immortal World was so big that countless people were bearing the same names, so he didn’t think they had to change their names. Now he had learned the lesson and decided to change their names.
“I didn’t expect Xu Han to make up such rumors.” Xu Muan had thought Xu Han would keep things quiet. After all, Xu Han would not feel proud of it.
Xu Muan narrowed his eyes and thought, “Xu Han hates me, but he likes my special physique. When I was with the Xu family, he never admitted that I was his fiancé. Now that I left with Jinting, Xu Han made up the rumors. I wonder what is on his mind.”
Xiao Jinting said, “I think Xu Han likes you.”
Xu Muan gave a wry smile and said, “Impossible. You’ve thought too much.”
Xiao Jinting gave a bright smile and said, “Why not? Muan, you don’t know how charming you are.”
Xu Muan was pleased. “You have a sweet mouth.”
Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan got the pay and left Meteorite Shop.
Following that, they heard about Xiao Xiaojin.
They felt a mixture of surprise, joy, and anxiety.
“Xiaojin is staying with the freak of the Dragon Tribe.”
Long Jingtian was famous in the Lower District. He was a mixed-blood of the Dragon and Phoenix and he could teleport himself as he liked. He sneaked into the treasure rooms of some great forces in the Lower District a few times and took away all the treasures.
Everyone hated him in the Lower District. However, he was so powerful that even an Immortal King failed to catch him by casting a restriction spell.
Xu Muan watched the images that he bought at a high price. Xiao Xiaojin haggled with Long Jingtian, who agreed to beat off the enemies at the price of four pots of meat.
Xiao Jinting rubbed his chin and smiled. “Long Jingtian didn’t ask for a high price.”
It was a good bargain to hire Long Jingtian with four pots of meat. Xiao Xiaojin was smart.
Xu Muan said in confusion, “How did Xiaojin come here? It’s not been a hundred years yet. The Tower of Babel hasn’t opened yet.”
Xiao Jinting said, “He should have taken another passage to the Immortal World. Although most of the passages are damaged, there should be more than one passage intact.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Is it okay that Xiaojin stays with Long Jingtian?” Long Jingtian didn’t have a good reputation.
Xiao Jinting said, “Don’t worry. He’s said to like looting treasures, and no one says he is a bully.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “You are right.”
…
Long Jingtian ate four pots of meat and held his belly, snorting happily.
“Delicious. I’m full finally.”
Xiao Xiaojin looked at the huge cauldron with a wince. When he promised to make four big pots of meat, he didn’t mean such a big cauldron.
Although he was reluctant, he had to cook four big cauldrons of meat without any complaints because Long Jingtian was much stronger than him.
Xiao Xiaojin looked at the cauldron and shook his head. It was a four-grade immortal cauldron with high quality. Long Jingtian must have stolen it from the treasure room of some family. If those third-grade alchemists saw the cauldron, they would crave it.
It was a pity that such a precious cauldron fell in the hands of Long Jingtian. It was a waste.
“I’m going to sleep.” Long Jingtian waved his hand, and a heap of Immortal Crystal appeared.
He plopped on the heap and fell asleep. Xiao Xiaojin looked at him in excitement.
He put away the cauldron, pleased that Long Jingtian didn’t stir.
He thought his father would be delighted if he gave him the cauldron.
Xiao Xiaojin thought of the information he had gathered. His father grew the turnips for a Real Immortal named Zi Yu of Heavenly Rabbit. Zi Yu had a good opinion of his father.
Long Jingtian popped his head out of the heap and said, “Don’t try to run away when I am sleeping. I’ve stamped on you, and I can find you no matter how far you go.”
Xiao Xiaojin said impatiently, “I know. You’ve told me many times.”
Long Jingtian said, “It’s good for you to stay with me and cook for me. You are so weak that you could be killed by any demonic beast.”
Xiao Xiaojin was speechless.
…
After gathering the news of Xiao Xiaojin, Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan thought it over and decided to go to Moon Dusk. They would settle down there and look for Xiaojin.
Xiao Jinting opened a pill shop in Moon Dusk. He disguised as an alchemist who seldom came out and managed to establish himself.
The Xu family didn’t give up looking for Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan, but they didn’t expect the couple to settle down in Moon Dusk, where the surveillance was slack.
Xiao Jinting’s shop flourished. However, he didn’t get any news of Xiao Jinting, who was traveling with Long Jingtian somewhere.
