Chapter 58
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Jinfeng and asked, “Second brother, do you think we should go back?”
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said, “Yes.”
Xiao Jingting, “…”
“I don’t have the secret technique for higher-level cultivation,” Xiao Jinfeng said.
The main reason why big families were able to stand for ages were that they had great libraries. It was very difficult for common people to advance to fifth level after becoming Qi Practitioner of forth level. All secrets were monopolized by the big families, making it difficult for outsiders to access them.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “That’s right!” The children of Xiao family can only get in touch with a cultivation technique that is one level higher than their own. Xiao Jingting’s fifth level cultivation technique was passed down by Xiao Jinfeng, without it, it would have been impossible to advance.
“Has big uncle gone back?” Xiao Xiaofan asked.
“Yes, he has.” Xiao Qingyan was originally very unhappy in the academy, because of his failed pursuit of the Miss from Marquis family, Zheng Pei’er consciously lost face and wanted to get away from Xiao Qingyan. After the original body owner’s parents came back, Zheng Pei’er immediately didn’t dare to mention it anymore.
Xiao Xiaofan bulged his cheek and said with anxiety, “Xiaofan hates big uncle very much!”
Mu Shuyu looked at Xiao Xiaofan and said, “Why does Xiaofan hate big uncle?”
“Uncle scolded Xiaofan for being an idiot and uncle gave birth to two nuisances.” Xiao Xiaofan held his chin up, full of disgust.
Mu Shuyu smiled. He also hated Xiao Qingyan, but it was hard to say it blantly.
Xu Muan looked at his two children and felt a bit sorry for them. Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong and said, “If you don’t have a good time in the Xiao family, we can get an independent yard.”
Xiao Xiaofan’s eyes immediately lit up at his words.
Xiao Jingting didn’t like the Xiao family very much, but he wanted to visit the Desert City. Mound Village was after all too small and limited their development, so Xiao Jingting still had some yearning for the big city.
“Then let’s prepare well, before we return to the Xiao family,” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes, I want to sell the fields.” Especially those mus of high class fields, the fees for this damn fine was really too terrible.
…………
“Where are we staying tonight, steward Xiao?” One of Xiao San’s attendants came up and asked.
“Young Master, let’s go to the city and find an inn to stay at,” Xiao San said.
When Xiao San first came to Mound Village, he thought that Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng led very depressing lives and would be overjoyed to see them come and would leave with them without saying a word. After they arrived, he realized that this was not the case at all.
When the villagers mentioned the two young masters, they were full of envy, jealousy and admiration. It was said that a few mus of field planted by Xiao Jingting earned five or six thousand taels of silver every month, making their life in a small village very good.
Five or six thousand taels a month, which translated to more than twenty pieces of spiritual jade. Even the favored young master of the Xiao family would only be given two or three pieces of spiritual jade a month.
The dry and skinny young masters Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Xiaofan who were raised in Xiao family become chubby and fair-skinned in the village.
Xiao Jinfeng was also married, far from what people thought that after being rejected by Miss Sun Miao yin, he became depressed and completely lost heart in everything. He was not only married but also had a child.
“I didn’t expect that young master Jingting after coming to Mound Village would work hard and become stronger,” An attendant said.
Xiao San nodded his head and said,”That’s right.”
According to the villagers, Xiao Jingting, Xiao Jinfeng, Xu Muan and even Mu Shuyu were all in the fourth level of Qi Practice. The outstanding members of the Xiao family were all at the fourth level of Qi Practice and Xiao Jingting was originally at the bottom of the family, his cultivation progressing mostly thanks to elixirs.
When Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng return to the Xiao family, they will certainly be able to impress the others with their new abilities.
Mu Shuyu was holding the child and circling around Xiao Jinfeng.
“Shuyu, what’s wrong with you?” Xiao Jinfeng asked.
“I’m going to meet your parents soon, so I’m a little worried if your parents will like our son.” Mu Shuyu said.
Mu Shuyu had never met Xiao Jinfeng’s parents, so he was a little nervous. These days, he had learned from Xu Muan, however, Xu Muan himself was not liked by Xiao’s mother and father. If it were not for Xiao Jingting’s bad old habits, and being unable to find a suitable person, Xu Muan might already be dismissed a long time ago.
Xiao Jinfeng lowered his head and said stiffly, “You don’t have to worry too much, my parents care the most about my elder brother and never cared too much about me. If you don’t get used to living in Xiao family house, we will move to another courtyard once I’ve got a cultivation technique for the sixth level.
Mu Shuyu nodded and said, “All right.”
Xiao Jinfeng lowered his head and thought to himself: That big brother of his is actually an extremely jealous person. Knowing that both him and Xiao Jingting advanced to fifth level of Qi Practice, he will only be able to accept it. His Hidden Qi Technique was not good enough. It could deceive ordinary villagers but it would be difficult to deceive his parents who are at eighth level of Qi Practice and his grandfather who was on ninth level. After going back, it would be better to avoid Xiao Qingyan as much as possible.
