Xiao Xiaojin stood in front of the door to the auction venue, hands on his hip, saying proudly, âHere we are.â
The flying bear hugged the wine gourd and belched, âWeâre finally here! Your legs are too short, and it took us such a long time.â
Xiao Xiaojin snorted coldly, âIf you hadnât asked for food when you saw the eatery, we would not have delayed for so long.â
The bear breathed out alcohol and said discontentedly, âChap, mind your manners. Show your Grandfather Bear some respect, or Iâll ask the bees to sting you.â
Xiao Xiaojin was speechless.
Xiao Xiaofan came out and said, âXiao Jin, youâre finally here. Daddy has been asking for you for a long time.â
Xiao Xiaojin caught up with Xiao Xiaofan and said, âHas the auction started yet?â
âItâs still early. Itâll be held in a few days,â Xiao Xiaofan said.
âLooks like Iâm not late!â
âMr. Xiao, you are finally here. Your daddy has been worrying youâ Ye Jinlan came out and smiled at Xiao Xiaojin.
Xiao Xiaojin greeted her respectfully, âGood morning, Miss Ye.â
Ye Jinlan waved her hand and said, âMr. Xiao, you donât need to be so polite.â
The flying bear sat on Xiao Xiaojinâs shoulders and looked drunk. He shook with dreamy eyes, looking lovely and harmless.
Ye Jinlan had a weird look when she knew that the bear on Xiao Xiaojinâs shoulder was actually the bear on Honeycomb Island.
Xiao Xiaofan wrapped Xiao Xiaojinâs shoulders with his arm and said, âXiaojin, I heard you did a big job.â
âThey came to me and I killed them right away,â Xiao Xiaojin said triumphantly, making a gesture of cutting throat.
âXiaojin, youâre awesome. You are better than us.â
âCome on, Iâm not that good. The Three Devils of Nether River were too weak. They died after the wasps stung them. I didnât have the chance to kill them myself.â
âXiaojin, you didnât attack them and they died. You are amazing.â
âThank you.â
âBy the way, did you cut off their heads? I heard that the Ji family has a reward for them! The person who kills the Three Devils of Nether Rive will be rewarded with eight hundred spiritual stones.â
âI did. But the heads were swollen from the bee stings. I wonder if I can still exchange them for spiritual stones.â
âOf course you can!â
â¦
Ye Jinlan followed behind them. Listening to their conversation, she felt that they were like Xiao Jinting, as they behaved in the same way.
Xu Muan came out and said, âXiao Jin, you are here!â
Xiao Xiaojin hugged Xu Muan intimately and said warmly, âDaddy, I miss you so much!â
âYou are a big boy now, but you still behave like a child.â
Ye Jinlan saw that the Xiao family needed some privacy, so she left.
When she was out of earshot, Xiao Xiaojin took out a booklet and handed it to Xu Muan. âDaddy, I found this on the Three Devils of Nether River.â
Xu Muan opened the booklet and read it, his face darkening.
Chen Xu looked at Xu Muan and asked, âUncle Xu, what is wrong?â
âThe Cao family might have ordered the Three Devils of Nether River to catch Xiaojin,â Xu Muan said coldly.
Chen Xu was confused. âThe Cao family? What do you mean?â
Xu Muan slowly said, âBack then, the Three Devils of Nether River killed the granddaughter of the Ji family and got hunted down by the Ji familyâs ancestor. In the end, someone helped them escape. The Cao family should be the one behind it.â
âThe Cao family is a large family, and there are always some things that have to be done under the table. It is not convenient for the Cao family to intervene in these matters, so they will ask others to do the dirty jobs. The Three Devils of Nether River should be hired by the Cao family to take care of these matters.â
âThe Three Devils of Nether River had written down what they had done for the Cao family, afraid that the Cao family would kill them one day.â
Chen Xu and the others exchanged glances.
Xu Muan looked at the booklet in his hand, his heart in a whirl. The Cao family had moved so quickly. It seemed that he underestimated the attraction of the things he took out.
âWe donât seem to have any enmity with the Cao family.â Xiao Xiaofan blinked.
âWell, itâs hard to say.â Xiao Xiaodong said with his arms crossed.
Xiao Xiaofan looked at Xiao Xiaodong and asked, âWhat do you mean?â
âPreviously, when the Hong family competed for the seal with the Ye family, the Cao family seemed to side with the Hong family. However, Father ruined their plan. I heard that the Nascent Soul of the Cao family married two pretty girls of the Hong family,â Xiao Xiaodong said with his arms crossed.
Xiao Xiaofanâs face darkened and he said, âThat old man of the Cao family is so vindictive!â
Xiao Xiaodong nodded. âI think so.â
Xiao Xiaofan was speechless.
Xiao Xiaojin rubbed his fists and said, âWhat are you afraid of? Kill them.â
Xiao Xiaodong was speechless.
Xu Muan waved his hand and said, âDonât talk nonsense. There are enough people watching over us. The Cao family is not easy to deal with.â
Xiao Xiaojin said in depression, âOkay.â They were not strong enough to act freely.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Xiaojin and rubbed his head. âWhat are you thinking about? Itâs not too late to take revenge. Just remember this for now.â
âThe old man of the Cao family also entered the Tower of Babel. Will he attack Father in the tower?â
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Xiaojin helplessly. Their daddy was worried about their father, and it was foolish of Xiao Xiaojin to say such words.
âI donât think so. Although fatherâs cultivation level is lower than the old man, he is not inferior to the Nascent Soul cultivators in extreme environments. He will be fine,â Xiao Xiaodong said.
Xiao Xiaojin nodded and said, âYou are right.â
