Chen Xu said in disbelief, âItâs awesome because he made the Spiritual Medicine Garden look like this?â
âSenior, you messed up the Spiritual Medicine Garden like this and youâre actually still standing here intact. If it was my father, he would have been beaten to death already,â Xiao Xiaofan said with full admiration.
âItâ s because steward Qiu canât beat senior Mu,â Xiao Xiaojin said.
Xiao Xiaodong, ââ¦â
Mu Yun, ââ¦â
âYou guys, stop talking nonsense and come with me.â Qiu Yun said to Xiao Xiaofan and others.
âSure!â Xiao Xiaofan said happily.
Qiu Yun turned his head, glanced towards Mu Yun and said, âCultivator Mu, please stay here and donât come in to cause more trouble.â
After a moment of hesitation, Mu Yun nodded and said, âAlright.â
âSteward Qiu, did senior Mu Yun get sick at the North District Spiritual Medicine Garden yesterday?â Chen Xu asked curiously.
Qiu Yun nodded and said, âThatâs right.â
âSenior Mu Yun is also pitiful!â Chen Xu said.
âWhy do you say Senior Mu Yun is pitiful?â Xiao Xiaojin said in confusion.
Xiao Xiaofan raised his hand and said excitedly, âI know, I know because he is more than two hundred years old and is still a first timer. Maybe when he lives up to be five hundreds years old, he would still be a chick.â
Xiao Xiaodong, ââ¦â
âI donât mean the real chick, you know,â Lei Xuan scratched his head and said.
Xiao Xiaojin nodded thoughtfully and said, âI see. I told you Iâve cooked Camellia chicken, cockfight, five black chicken, Yuanbao chicken, dwarf chicken, Luhua chicken⦠I just havenât cooked chick.â
Xiao Xiaodong held his forehead with some headache as he said, âThe chick I mentioned is not for cooking, donât talk nonsense in the future.â
Xiao Xiaojin nodded and gave an âohâ.
Xiao Xiaofan came up to Xiao Xiaodong and said, âBig brother, you said that senior Mu is still a chick when he is so old. Do you think he will need aphrodisiacs?â
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Xiaofan and said, âIf you donât want to die, shut up.â
Xiao Xiaofan, ââ¦â
Xiao Xiaojin standing on his tiptoe, approached Xiao Xiaofan to say, âSecond brother, big brother is so fierce!â
Xiao Xiaofan thought deeply and said, âYes! Big brother is very fierce.â
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaojin, who had the same view, and thought:Â My younger brothers are stupid.
âChen Xu, how come your grandfather let you come over?â Qiu Yun looked at Chen Xu in disbelief and asked.
Chen Xu said somewhat gloomily, âWhen I was at home, my cultivation progress became very slow, so grandpa let me come out for a break.â
Qiu Yun nodded and said, âItâs the right thing to take a break. You canât always hide at home behind closed doors, it does not work that way.
Chen Xu smiled and said, âI think so too.â For the past ten years or so, he always hid behind his grandfather, using all his strength to cultivate, making his life very boring.
âI heard that your marriage to Qiao Xiang has been called off?â Qiu Yun asked.
Chen Xu nodded and said, âYes! Nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable.. Qiao Xiang is a single spiritual root and it is possible for him to advance to the Nascent Soul in future. But, I have just three spiritual roots, so it would already be a blessing from my ancestors if I could advance to Golden Core. We are just not suitable.â
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu and said, âYou should not think like this. Cultivation is not only based on qualifications, various other factors are also very important.â
âI know.â Chen Xu said with a smile.
â¦â¦â¦â¦
Xiao Xiaodong and others came out of the garden with a pile of spirit fruits in their arms only to see Mu Yun and Xie Wanran.
Qiu Yun snorted and said, âIf you want to make out, why donât you look for another place? You shouldnât have come here after messing this place up. Where are your manners?â
Xie Wanran looked at Qiu Yun for a few moments and some resentment flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Xiaofan, holding spirit fruits, looked at Qiu Yun and said, âSenior Qiu, thank you for the spirit fruits, do you want to go eat hot pot with us?â
Qiu Yun nodded and said, âSure!â
Mu Yun walked over and said, âWhere are you going?â
âSenior, are you going to eat? Why donât you join us?â Xiao Xiaofan rolled his eyes and said.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Qiu Yun and then looked at Mu Yun, thinking:Â This idiot Xiaofan first invited Qiu Yun and then Mu Yun, wasnât it strange?
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Mu Yun and thought:Â Refuse! Just refuse!
âFine. Thank you for the invitation, little friend,â Mu Yun said.
Xiao Xiaodong, ââ¦â Wasnât it said that Mu Yun was very difficult to get along with and didnât like to deal with people?
âCan I go with you?â Xie Wanran asked.
Xiao Xiaodong, ââ¦â There was another extra one.
Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan were preparing hot pot and were stunned when they saw Xiao Xiaodongâs group of people coming together with Qiu Yun, Mu Yun and Xie Wanran.
Xiao Jingting looked at Xu Muan and asked, âWhat kind of situation is this?â
Xu Muan shook his head and said, âI donât know! But itâs troublesome.â
âEither way, itâs just three more mouths. Donât worry,â Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan reluctantly smiled and said, âPerhaps.â
âTwo seniors and miss Xie are also here! Sit down, sit down, pleasehave a seat.â Xiao Jingting greeted them.
Xiao Jingting was almost ready so when he arranged a seat for Qiu Yun, Mu Yun directly sat next to Qiu Yun, who glanced coldly at him but did not open his mouth to drive him away.
Xie Wanran sat next to Mu Yun. No matter what Xiao Jingting thought, the atmosphere between the three of them was strange.
Xiao Xiaofan grabbed his chopsticks, his eyes shining as he stared at Xiao Jingting and asked, âFather, can we eat now?â
Xiao Jingting, ââ¦â This little brat! Eating, eating, eating, he cared about nothing but eating.
âAlright, yes,â Xiao Jingting said.
Several people sat around and ate.
Xiao Xiaodong was gentlemanly enough to give a few pieces of meat to Chen Xu, causing the little chick next to him to cackle.
Mu Yun also seemed to want to prepare food for Qiu Yun, but Qiu Yun just glared at him.
