Chapter 240: Chapter 240

Lei Xuan looked at Xiao Xiaodong and Chen Xu and said with some suspicion, “Where are you two going?!”

“Going hunting in the back mountain,” Xiao Xiaodong said indifferently.

Lei Xuan glanced at Chen Xu and looked at Xiao Xiaodong with some hesitation as he said, “You’re taking him there?”

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Yes!”

Lei Xuan looked at Chen Xu with a headache and rubbed his forehead with his hand unconsciously.

Chen Xu tilted his head and spoke, somehow feeling upset, “Don’t look at me like this! I’m more or less a Foundation Building cultivator. I heard that many cultivators at Qi Practice already go to the back of the mountain.”

Looking at Lei Xuan’s reaction, Chen Xu was a little depressed. His parents died early, so his grandfather was afraid that something would happen to him and watched him extremely closely. Although he was already at the Foundation Building realm, he had not yet killed many demonic beasts.

Lei Xuan laughed and said, “That’s, that’s… ”

“Where are you guys going to play? I’ll go with you,” Xiao Xiaofan jumped out and said.

Chen Xu said with some excitement, “Yes! It will be lively with lots of people.”

Lei Xuan thought about it and said, “Then I’ll go too.”

“Let’s all go.” Xiao Xiaodong said.

Xiao Xiaofan looked at Chen Xu and asked, “Young Chen, have you ever killed a demonic beast?”

Chen Xu smiled bitterly and said, “Yes, I have, but I didn’t make much effort.”

Xiao Xiaofan looked at Chen Xu with some confusion, so Chen Xu gave a bitter smile and said, “My grandfather is very worried about me, so he has some Golden Core cultivators follow me. If I encounter a demonic beast, those Golden Core cultivators will rush up and beat those demonic beasts severely, so all I need is to go up and kill it.”

Xiao Xiaofan opened his eyes wide and said in amazement, “Then you can save a lot of effort…”

Chen Xu nodded and said, “Yes! It’s just too easy.” Therefore, his actual combat ability was very poor.

The four of them were walking towards the direction of the back mountain when Qiao Xiang walked over and stopped them. “Where are you going?” Qiao Xiang asked.

“Hunting.” Xiao Xiaofan said without thinking.

Qiao Xiang looked directly at Xiao Xiaodong and said, “Xiao Xiaodong, how can you take young master Chen to go hunting? If something happens to young master Chen, can you afford it?”

Xiao Xiaofan glared at Qiao Xiang with some dissatisfaction.

Chen Xu frowned and said, “I’m the one who wanted to go, and it’s none of your business. Besides, I’m still somewhat capable of protecting myself.”

“Young master Chen, it’s too risky for you to do so. If your grandfather knows, he will be worried.” Qiao Xiang said full of disapproval.

Chen Xu nodded and said, “I know, so just don’t let my grandfather know. I am not made of clay. Why can’t I go to a place where even cultivators at Qi Practice go?”

Qiao Xiang looked at Chen Xu’s face, his heart a little depressed, but it was not good to say something harsh.

Wu Li sent a message to Qiao Xiang, who then smiled and said, “Since younger martial brother Chen is so interested, why don’t I go with you?”

Chen Xu looked towards Xiao Xiaodong, who nodded and said, “Sure! Welcome.”

Qiao Xiang kept a straight face but still snorted uncontrollably.

Qiao Xiang thought: This guy, Xiao Xiaodong has no self-awareness. Among the four, Xiao Xiaofan is a single spiritual root. Lei Xuan has a variant spiritual root and Chen Xu has a grandfather who is at the stage of Nascent Soul. No matter which one, their status is much higher than Xiao Xiaodong’s, but Xiao Xiaodong still acted like he was the leader.

Qiao Xiang looked at Lei Xuan who was acting obedient to Xiao Xiaodong and cursed him in his heart. Xiao Xiaofan was Xiaodong’s younger brother, so his obedience was fine, but Lei Xuan was different! Yet Lei Xuan still treated Xiao Xiaodong as a leader.

Chen Xu felt nothing about it. When they were still in the mine, Chen Xu found out that among the three, Xiao Xiaodong, Xiao Xiaofan and Lei Xuan; Xiao Xiaodong was the leader and Xiao Xiaofan and Lei Xuan listened to Xiao Xiaodong’s every word.

Chen Xu admired Xiao Xiaodong’s ability to make Lei Xuan and Xiao Xiaofan listen to him, so when he was still in the mine, Chen Xu also listened to Xiao Xiaodong. After leaving the mine, this habit also became natural to him. Chen Xu always cared about Xiao Xiaodong’s opinion.

Qiao Xiang kept up with the crowd, always at Chen Xu’s side. From time to time, he talked about the precautions in the jungle, showing his extensive knowledge.

Chen Xu pulled a straight face but it was not good to say anything.

Little chick, with its head held high, walked in front, and when it turned its head, it threw cynical glances at Qiao Xiang.

Qiao Xiang became furious under the small chick’s sarcastic look. Qiao Xiang didn’t think that the small chick was deliberately targeting him. He just thought that the pet was just like its master. It might be Xiao Xiaodong who was not happy with him and instructed this chicken to despise him.

……

“Why are you back?” Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Xiaojin and asked in disbelief.

Xiao Xiaojin sat depressedly on the bench and said, “Brother took Chen Xu to hunting. He drove me back and went without me. I hate him. I don’t like him any more.”

Xiao Jingting’s eyes widened as he said, “What did you say? Your brother took Chen Xu to go hunting?!”

Xiao Xiaojin nodded, “Yes!”

Xiao Jingting rubbed his chin and said, “Hunting is good! They might become more intimate after the hunting.”

“Qiao Xiang went, too.” Xiao Xiaojin said.

Xiao Jingting was talking to Xiao Xiaojin when Qiu Yun pushed open the door open and walked in.

Xiao Jingting scrambled to his feet and greeted him, “Steward Qiu, what brings you here?”

“You’re teaching Mu Yun how to cook?” Qiu Yun asked with a deep frown.

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes!”
