Xiao Jinting got out of the jade space and saw that Xu Muan was alone.
âWhere are they?â Xiao Jinting asked.
âAll of them went to hunt demonic beasts. Xiaojin tagged along.â Xu Muan smiled.
âIs that all right?â Xiao Jinting muttered.
Xu Muan said indifferently, âDonât underestimate them. They have all advanced to Golden Core, and they donât need your protection. They can support you now.â
Xiao Jinting smiled awkwardly and thought to himself, âItâs worthwhile to bring up these chaps.â They gave him the spiritual stones that they earned from selling the demonic beasts materials after they kept those for their cultivation. He felt delighted and shy to be supported by the young men.
âWhat a bunch of hardworking brats.â He felt a bit ashamed that as a father for sitting idle.
âThey have made a name these years,â Xu Muan said.
âWhat is it?â Xiao Jinting asked with interest.
âThe Four Handsome Kings,â Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jinting said, âOh, it sounds goodâ¦â After his sons grew up, they were handsome. Chen Xu and Lei Xuan also looked good.
âThis is nice, and there is another vivid name,â Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jinting asked, âWhat is it?â
Xu Muan: âThe Four Kings of Tornado.â
Xiao Jinting asked, âHow did they get such a name?â
Xu Muan shrugged and said, âIt is said that every time they go on a hunt, the land is destroyed like suffering a tornado.â
Xiao Jinting was speechless.
â¦
âBy the way, Ye Jinlan has come,â Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jinting squinted and asked in confusion, âWhat does she come for?â
Xu Muan shook his head. âI donât know. She says she wants to discuss business with you.â
âDo you know what business it is?â asked Xiao Jinting.
Xu Muan shook his head and said, âI donât know, but I think it has something to do with the qualification review of the Business Alliance.â
Xiao Jinting narrowed his eyes and said, âShe shouldnât choose me for the review.â After all, he was only at the medium level of Golden Core. Usually the advanced Golden Core would be preferred in such an important competition, even if Xiao Jinting did not think that he was inferior.
âIâm not sure, but I heard that a new rising Hong family seems to be coveting the Ye familyâs seat, and the advanced Golden Core cultivator whom the Ye family has been trying to recruit went to join the Hong family,â Xu Muan smiled and said.
Xiao Jinting blinked and said, âSo the Ye family came to ask me to replace the Golden Coreâ¦â
Xu Muan hesitated for a moment and said, âThis is just my guess. We will only know after we meet her.â
â¦
Ye Fang sat in the living room with a frown.
âMiss, Xiao Jinting is insolent.â Ye Fang said irritably.
Ye Fang sighed inwardly. âThe Ye family is going down the hill. We used to be respected wherever we went.â
âHe is a Golden Core, and he has so many Gold Core cultivators with him. It doesnât matter if he puts us off,â Ye Jinlan said lightly.
Ye Fang said in confusion, âWhy do so many Gold Core cultivators suddenly appear?â
Although Golden Core cultivators were not as rare as Nascent Soul cultivators, it was not easy to cultivate one. However, the cultivators with Xiao Jinting had advanced to Golden Core one after another.
In the beginning, people did not know why phenomena kept appearing on the hill where Xiao Jinting lived. After Xiao Xiaofan and others had advanced to Golden Core, it finally dawned on many cultivators that the phenomena were signs of Golden Core advancement.
When they realized that, ordinary forces could do nothing about it as there were many Golden Core cultivators on the hill.
âMiss, do you think Xiao Jinting has a secret method to advance to Golden Core?â Ye Jinlan asked.
Ye Jinlan used to think that Xiao Jinting might have got some kind of mysterious method that could help advance to Golden Core. In fact, there were indeed some secret methods that could create False Golden Core cultivators, who were much stronger than Foundation Establishment cultivators but much weaker than a real Golden Core. Moreover, it was difficult for the False Golden Core to advance to the next level.
However, Xiao Xiaodong and the others were much more powerful than a normal Golden Core.
âI donât think so.â Ye Jinlan clenched her fists tightly. The Ye Family was losing its influence, and Xiao Jinting had become powerful. Even if he had a secret method, she couldnât snatch it.
â¦
Xiao Jinting came out.
When Ye Jinlan saw him, she smiled gently. âMr. Xiao, youâre really a genius. Youâre young and now you are at the medium level of Golden Core.â
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, âIâm not young.â He gave a rough calculation and found that he was over forty. He suddenly felt time flew like an arrow. The age of forty was not young on the Earth, but it was nothing in the cultivation world.
âI come to ask for your favor,â Ye Jinlan said.
Xiao Jinting looked at her and said lightly, âMiss Ye, please tell me.â
âMr. Xiao, Iâm sure you know about the competition of the Business Alliance,â Ye Jinlan said.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, âIâve heard of it.â
âIn the competition, any family who covets the Ye Familyâs seat will come up to challenge us. Best of three,â Ye Jinlan said.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, âMiss Ye, are you inviting me to participate.â
Ye Jinlan frowned and said, âIn fact, I like to invite you to be a substitute.â
