Chapter 318: Chapter 318

On the Nebula Island.

Chen Xu sat on the grass and looked up at the starry sky.

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Xiaodong sat down beside Chen Xu.

Chen Xu smiled bitterly and said, “Today is Grandfather’s birthday.”

Xiao Xiaodong paused and asked, “Really?”

Chen Xu smiled brightly and said, “If Grandfather knew that I have advanced to Golden Core, he would be very happy.”

“Well, your grandfather will be happy to see that you are a Golden Core. If Father finds a great treasure in the Tower of Babel, we can consider leaving here. We will go back together and give your grandfather a surprise.” Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu and said.

Chen Xu smiled at Xiao Xiaodong and said, “Thank you.”

“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have come here, and wouldn’t have missed your grandfather so much,” Xiao Xiaodong said.

Chen Xu leaned against Xiao Xiaodong’s shoulder and muttered dreamingly, “Although I feel sorry for Grandfather, I’m very happy to be with you. If I was given another chance, I would make the same choice and follow you here.”

Xiao Xiaodong’s face turned red. As a voluble person, he was lost for words.

Chen Xu was a little worried. “When we left, there was a war between the righteous and demonic sects. I wonder if Grandfather was involved in the war.”

“Your grandfather is a Nascent Soul, and he will be fine,” Xiao Xiaodong said.

“But many Nascent Soul cultivators die in the wars between the righteous and demonic sects,” Chen Xu said with a grave look.

Xiao Xiaodong hugged Chen Xu’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. Your grandfather is experienced, and he knows how to protect himself.”

Chen Xu sighed softly and said, “I hope so. Grandfather has been taking care of me all along. If only I could help him.”

“You will one day,” Xiao Xiaodong said.

Chen Xu smiled and said, “I hope so.”

Lei Xuan and Xiao Xiaofan came over.

“Chen Xu, do you miss your grandfather again?” Xiao Xiaofan asked.

Chen Xu nodded and said, “Yeah, I’ve left him for more than twenty years.”

Lei Xuan pursed his lips and said, “You’re a grownup now, but you miss your grandfather like a child. What a sissy. ”

Chen Xu looked at Lei Xuan and said, “Don’t you miss your parents?”

Lei Xuan scratched his head and said, “My father likes to roar at me when he sees me, saying that I like to cause troubles and why I don’t die outside. My mother likes to say that I am the eldest son in the family and I should be a role model for my siblings. I don’t miss them at all.”

Chen Xu looked at Lei Xuan with a mocking smile. “Really? Why did you cry for parents when you got stung by the bees?”

Lei Xuan smiled awkwardly and said, “That doesn’t count.”

Seeing through Lei Xuan’s pretense, Xiao Xiaodong smiled and said, “Come on, you don’t have to feel embarrassed. Just admit you miss them.”

Lei Xuan scratched his head and said awkwardly, “Yeah, I kind of miss them as I haven’t been scolded by my parents for a long time.”

Xiao Xiaofan looked at Lei Xuan with a strange expression, “So you like to be scolded by your parents. What a peculiar hobby!”

Lei Xuan was speechless.

Xiao Xiaodong looked at Lei Xuan and said solemnly, “Lei Xuan, it’s been a hard time for you.”

Lei Xuan scratched his head and smiled meekly. “What are you talking about? I’ve made great progress in cultivation when I stay with you. I am just worried about my family. When I left, the war broke out.” Chen Lifeng was a famous Nascent Soul , who knew how to protect himself. As for the Lei family, it was hard to say.

“Come on, let’s work hard on our cultivation. Don’t think about the useless things. we don’t know if the war is over or not. Try hard to improve our cultivation, so we can protect ourselves when we go back,” Xiao Xiaodong said.

Lei Xuan nodded and said, “You’re right!” If he became a Nascent Soul, he would go back whenever he liked.

“If I go back as a Nascent Soul, the whole family will listen to me. That’s awesome, ” Lei Xuan said confidently.

When he thought of becoming a Nascent Soul, his blood started to boil.

The Lei family often had thunder root cultivators, who were stronger than other kinds of spiritual roots. The ancestor of the Lei family was a Peak Golden Core, who was well respected among the Golden Core cultivators. However, he had to bow at the Nascent Souls when he met them.

The first person under the Nascent Soul was nothing compared to a Nascent Soul.

His ancestor told him that the Lei Family used to be distinguished in the past, and there had been many Nascent Soul cultivators and even Deity cultivators in the family. Now things had changed, and the Lei family was going downhill. The ancestor wished to see a Nascent Soul in the family again so they could regain the glory.

Xiao Xiaodong sneered, “Nascent Soul? Are you dreaming?”

Lei Xuan scratched his head in depression and said, “I know I can’t make it, but can’t I just think about it?”

Xiao Xiaodong glanced at Lei Xuan and said, “If you have the time to think about becoming a Nascent Soul, you’d better think about how to improve your cultivation to the medium level of Golden Core.” Cultivation required patience. After they advanced to Golden Core, they made very slow progress, which was common to all the cultivators.

“Xiao Dong, how could Mr. Xiao improve so quickly?” Lei Xuan asked in confusion.

Xiao Xiaofan replied without thinking, “Because he is my father! Isn’t that normal?”

Lei Xuan was speechless.

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Xiao Fan is right.”

Lei Xuan was lost for words.
