Chapter 317: Chapter 317

Wei Li looked at Qiu Yun and said, “Senior Xiao has disappeared for a long time.”

Gu Yun nodded, “Yeah, It’s been over twenty years.”

It was said that at first, Heavenly God Sect sent a Nascent Soul cultivator to watch over the teleportation array. Later, the war between the righteous and demonic sects was escalated and the cultivator was transferred to the battlefield, where he got killed. Now there was a Golden Core cultivator stationing there. It had been more than twenty years, and the Heavenly God Sect would not drop the idea of catching Xiao Jinting.

“It’s strange. Why does Chen Lifeng come back so quickly?” Chen Lifeng usually came every three or four years, but now it had only been a year since he last came.

“Senior Qiu, you forgot that Qiao Xiang of Peerless Sect had advanced to Golden Core. The Peerless Sect has invited all the sects to the celebration banquet. It is quite an occasion,” Wei Li said.

Qiu Yun rolled his eyes and said disapprovingly, “Isn’t he just a Golden Core? He’s not a Nascent Soul yet. Why are they making a fuss?”

“Senior Qiu, Senior Qiao is different. He has advanced to Golden Core before he turns fifty. He has more than four hundred years left. I guess he has a great chance to advance to Nascent Soul,” Wei Li said.

Gu Yun snorted and said, “You know a lot about it. So what if he can advance to Nascent Soul? The amazing and talented cultivator of the Ancient Sword Sect advanced to Nascent Soul when he was over two hundred years old. Unfortunately, he met a Nascent Soul cultivator of the demonic sect and got killed.”

Wei Li nodded and said, “It is a pity.”

As soon as Chen Lifeng arrived at Green Cloud Immortal sect, he went straight to the Northern Elixir Garden to see Qiu Yun.

Although Chen Lifeng had asked the same questions many times, he asked Qiu Yun again what he thought of Xiao Jinting. He wanted to know if Chen Xu would suffer any hardship with the Xiao family and if Xiao Jinting would abuse his grandson.

After Chui Yun answered patiently, Chen Lifeng started to regret, saying that he cared too little about Chen Xu. He said that before Chen Xu left, he should have put more good things into his space ring. He was wondering what kind of life that Chen Xu was leading during these years. He doubted if Chen Xu had any spiritual stones for cultivation and hardly made any progress.

He said that if he had known Chen Xu would not come back when he went to see Xiao Xiaodong, he would not have allowed him to do that.

Qiu Yun made efforts to appease Chen Lifeng, and it took him a long time to see him off.

…

After Chen Lifeng left, Mu Yun arrived.

“Did Senior Chen make things difficult for you?” Mu Yun asked.

Gu Yun shook his head and said, “No, he is just worried about Chen Xu. He didn’t make things difficult for me.”

“How about Heavenly God Sect? Do they get you in trouble?” Mu Yun asked.

Gu Yun shook his head, “No, they haven’t come for a long time.”

Back then, it was confirmed that Xiao Jinting had killed the cultivators of Heavenly God Sect and taken the Soul Refining Water as well as Body Refining Manual. The Heavenly God Sect went to Green Cloud Immortal Sect and demanded for an explanation. Under the great pressure, the Green Cloud Immortal Sect attempted to hand Qiu Yun over, who was on good terms with Xiao Jinting, and used him as a scapegoat, but Mu Yun, who had advanced to Nascent Soul, stopped them.

It had been more than twenty years since Xiao Jinting left through the teleportation array, and things had gradually calmed down.

“That’s good. I didn’t expect Xiao Jinting to make such a commotion,” Mu Yun said.

Qiu Yun said with deep eyes, “He is a very capable man. Without him, your poison wouldn’t have been detoxified.”

“I have to thank you for detoxifying my poison,” Mu Yun said. If Qiu Yun hadn’t taken out the pill formula and cultivated the Jasper Peach King, he wouldn’t have advanced to Nascent Soul.

Gu Yun shook his head, “You don’t have to thank me. I saved you for the sake of my life. Back then, countless people died in the war between the gods and the demons, and I had to find someone to protect me.”

“I wonder when Xiao Jinting will come back,” Mu Yun sighed.

Qiu Yun looked at him and asked curiously, “Do you think he will come back? Xiao Jinting has offended Heavenly God Sect, who will try to capture him if he comes back.”

“If Xiao Jinting and the others are alive, Chen Xu and Lei Xuan will come back sooner or later. If they come back, Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Xiaofan will follow them. As a result, Xiao Jinting will definitely come back as he will be worried about his sons,” Mu Yun said.

Chui Yun shrugged, “Who knows? Qiao Xiang is a Golden Core now. He is the pride of the Peerless Sect. I hope Xiao Xiaodong wouldn’t be inferior to him.”

If Xiao Xiaodong was far lower than Qiao Xiang, he would be ashamed, so would Chen Lifeng and Chen Xu. Now that the Peerless Sect made a grand celebration for Qiao Xiang, they might be showing off at Chen Lifeng.

“I wonder what level of cultivation Xiao Xiaodong is now. Has he advanced to Golden Core?” said Qiu Yun.

Mu Yun thought about it and said, “He is a double spiritual root.”

“So what? With his father around, he might have already advanced to Golden Core,” said Qiu Yun.

Mu Yun said in surprise, “You think so highly of Xiao Jinting.”

Gu Yun tilted his head and thought for a moment, saying, “How to say? Xiao Jinting is a very special person.”
