Chapter 231: Chapter 231

Xiao Xiaodong held his arms, shook his head helplessly and said, “It said that the green-feathered swallow was not very powerful and was just a bird. In its eyes, it was just a rookie.”

Chen Xu laughed and said, “Your contracted beast is so cute.”

Xiao Xiaodong laughed bitterly and said, “It’s not cute, it’s just delusional. By the way, how much do you know about Xie Wanran?” Father seems to be very afraid of that woman.

“Xie Wanran has also made rapid progress in her self cultivation, I heard that she is very valued within the sect.” Chen Xu said.

Xiao Xiaodong hesitated for a moment and said, “I’ve heard that Xie Wanran has a very special status in the Spiritual Medicine Sect.”

Chen Xu nodded and said, “Yes! She is also a Spirit Nurturer. Although she is only at late Foundation Building stage, she already can cultivate many kinds of spirit plants that even Golden Core cultivators can’t.”

Xiao Xiaodong was full of amazement as he said, “So amazing?”

Chen Xu nodded and said, “Yes!”

Xiao Xiaodong thought: Is Xie Wanran’s ability to cultivate spiritual plants so good or had she met some great opportunity? Just like father who had special space that could ripen spiritual herbs in large quantities. But this space was too precious, so father only dared to give those spiritual plants to his own people.

“What is the relationship between Xie Wanran and Mu Yun?” Xiao Xiaodong asked curiously.

Chen Xu shrugged his shoulders and said, “I’m not very clear about it. I just heard that when Xie Wanran first entered the Sect, she was not very impressive but she was very lucky and was assigned to senior Mu Yun to take care of his daily life. Then senior Mu Yun took good care of her.”

“Xie Wanran is very beautiful. I heard that she can endure hardships and had many adventures, so many people in the sect like her.”

“She and Cheng Yishu did not get along. It was no secret in Spiritual Medicine Sect that Cheng Yishu liked Mu Yun. Cheng Yishu’s grandfather was good at cultivating spiritual plants and Cheng Yishu often brought spiritual plants to Mu Yun. Senior Mu Yun is a very cold person but after Xie Wanran appeared, senior Mu Yun and Xie Wanran seemed to have feelings for each other.”

“It is said that because of these rumors, Cheng Yishu was very dissatisfied with Xie Wanran and often made troubles for her, which caused many people in the Sect to have some opinions about Cheng Yishu.”

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Is that so?!”

Chen Xu nodded and said, “There is the rumor from outside, it’s said that because of Xie Wanran’s, the relationship between Mu Yun and Cheng Yishu suddenly became stiff. I don’t know if Cheng Yishu was forced to give Mu Yun aphrodisiac, but Mu Yun knocked Cheng Yishu unconscious and later, the sect severely punished him. After suffering this blow, Cheng Yishu’s grandfather passed away not long after.”

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “It sounds so complicated.” Cheng Yishu’s grandfather was a Golden Core cultivator, so it was strange that he died so suddenly.

Chen Xu nodded and said, “Yes! Later, Cheng Yishu disappeared and Mu Yun, in the process of advancing to Golden Core, became possessed. Some people say that the reason Mu Yun became possessed was related to Cheng Yishu.”

“What about Cheng Yishu?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.

“Everybody says he is dead.” Chen Xu said.

“Why?” Xiao Xiaodong was puzzled.

“Before Cheng Yishu disappeared, he was attacked by Mu Yun. Mu Yun has a body of pure Yang and his palm carries the Pure Yang Fire Poison. When Cheng Yishu left the sect, he was only at Foundation Building, so basically he had no way to live,” Chen Xu said.

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “So that’s how it is. You know so much.”

Chen Xu laughed in embarrassment and said, “Expect cultivating, I usually listen to some rumors.”

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Is that so?!” Xiao Xiaodong thought: This guy Chen Xu looks so quiet, so I did not expect him to actually be so gossipy.

Chen Xu noticed Xiao Xiaodong’s gaze and said, “Why are you looking at me like that?!”

“No! Just casually looking around,” Xiao Xiaodong looked back.

Chen Xu couldn’t help blushing.

Tang Yunjie hurried over and said, “Xiaodong, Qiao Xiang is here.”

Xiao Xiaodong opened his eyes wide and said, “Qiao Xiang is here? Why? Didn’t people from Peerless Sect come here before?”

Tang Yunjie nodded and said, “That’s right, however, the people from the Peerless sect felt that the Bodhi Fruit allocated to them was not much, so they probably came to make a second bid.”

Xiao Xiaodong glanced at Chen Xu. What did he think? The other side have ulterior motives.

When Chen Xu heard Tang Yunjie’s words, he couldn’t help but frown. “When did they arrive?”

“Just now.” Tang Yunjie said.

Chen Xu lowered his head and thought: Did Qiao Xiang come to meet him? Peerless sect had been courting his grandfather. But because of his own affairs, grandfather had fallen out with the Peerless Sect.

“What do you think of Qiao Xiang…?”

Chen Xu shook his head and said, “I don’t know him very well.”

Chen Xu did not lie. He was detained by his grandfather to cultivate since he was born. Later the marriage between him and Qiao Xiang was also facilitated by the Peerless Sect after discussing it with his grandfather. However, knowing that Qiao Xiang was his fiancé, Chen Xu was still distracted for a while. After all, Chen Xu was still young and he suddenly had an excellent fiancé, so of course he was a little distracted.

However, everything had changed after his experience in the mine. Regardless of what happened before and whether it was related to Qiao Xiang or not, Chen Xu felt that there were some doubts in his heart, so if he continued to be with Qiao Xian, this shadow of suspicion would certainly grow bigger and bigger.

Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu and said, “In that case, you should not meet with him.”

Chen Xu nodded and said, “I think so too.”

Tang Yunjie followed Xiao Xiaodong and quietly transmitted, “There are a total of two Nascent Soul elders in the Peerless Sect. One of them is said to have only three or four years left to live, the other one is in the early stage of Nascent Soul, so his cultivation is very insignificant among the cultivators of the same realm.”

Xiao Xiaodong glanced at Tang Yunjie but did not say anything. He had also heard about the situation of the Peerless Sect. Once a Nascent Soul elder died, the position of Peerless Sect would be in jeopardy. Originally, Qiao Xiang and Chen Xu’s marriage would be able to stabilize the position of the Peerless Sect, but it was a pity…
