Chapter 417: Chapter 417

Inside the cabin.

“Father, I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help it,” Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Jinting and apologized.

Xiao Jinting said lightly, “The pirate was bullying you, and you did right to teach him a lesson.” He knew Xiao Xiaodong didn’t feel sorry at all, but he soothed him anyway.

Xiao Xiaodong nodded, “Yeah, that’s what I think.”

“Don’t make any moves if nothing happens,” Xiao Jinting said.

Xiao Xiaodong and Chen Xu both disguised themselves. When he attacked the pirate just now, Xiao Xiaodong changed his fighting style, so no one could figure out who he was.

“If no one offends me, I don’t want to make a move,” said Xiao Xiaodong.

“Xiaodong, you are awesome,” Xiao Jingfeng couldn’t help but say.

Xiao Xiaodong smiled and said, “Thank you.”

Xiao Jinting shook his head helplessly when he saw that Xiao Xiaodong was arrogant.

The family stayed in the cabin most of the time. The steward had visited them once, but he didn’t show up anymore after Xiaodong asked him not to come again with a cold face.

A few days later, the family finally arrived in the Barbarian Continent.

Xiao Jinting felt nothing was the same as before when he set foot in this land again.

Chen Xu frowned. “The Qi here…”

Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu’s face and explained, “The Qi here is very thin, and there are very few spiritual stones.”

Chen Xu looked at Xiao Xiaodong and couldn’t help saying, “It must have been tough for you.”

Xiao Xiaodong smiled and said, “Well, it was not that bad.” It was not easy when he was very young, but after the new father came, the days had been getting better.

Xiao Xiaodong glanced at Xiao Jinting affectionately.

“On the Barbarian Continent, resources are very scarce. Households live on growing spiritual plants. The spiritual roots that can help grow spiritual plants are very popular, and those harmful to spiritual plants, such as fire and gold spiritual roots, are despised. Xiaofan is a single spiritual root of fire, so the people here think he is terrible.”

It was the first time Chen Xu had heard Xiao Xiaodong talk about this, and he immediately widened his eyes. “The single spiritual root of fire is terrible?”

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said proudly, “Yes. My original spiritual root is more popular than Xiaofan.”

Chen Xu couldn’t help but say, “It is unlucky of single spiritual roots of fire and thunder to be born in the Barbarian Continent…”

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Yes.” Spiritual roots of thunder and fire were despised on the land. He remembered when the previous father knew that Xiaofan was a spiritual root of fire, he was angry and thought Xiaofan was useless.

…

Xiao Jingfeng secretly went back to the Xiao family, but he did not see Xiao Linfeng. Wang Lu was not lucky enough to advance to Establishment Foundation and died many years ago.

Xiao Qingyan died two years ago. Zheng Pei’er was still alive, but she looked very old and probably wouldn’t live for long.

After Xiao Jingfeng and Mu Shuyu left, the Xiao family’s power was reduced significantly. However, the Xiao family didn’t get into big trouble with the protection of the Marquis.

The Barbarian Continent was out of touch with the world. Green Cloud Immortal sect lost contact with the Barbarian Continent at the war between the righteous and demonic sects. Later, Xiao Jinting had got into big trouble and the whole family went abroad, so he didn’t get in touch with the Xiao family in the Barbarian Continent. After Xiao Jinting returned to the Cloud Continent, he didn’t contact them and went into seclusion for thirty years. Therefore, very few people in the Barbarian Continent remembered the third son of the Xiao family, and Xiao Jinting had kind of become a legend.

As the Barbarian Continent was poorly informed, and Xiao Jinting deliberately ignored the Xiao family, the latter didn’t benefit from his advancement to Nascent Soul. Due to the same reason, the Xiao family was not affected when Xiao Jinting was hunted down by the major sects.

Xiao Jinting sat in the tea house, sipping tea and listening to all sorts of gossips.

As more and more high-level cultivators swarmed into the Barbarian Continent, the local forces tucked their tails between their legs.

“Mister, long time no see.” The steward of the passenger ship saw Xiao Jinting and hurried over.

Xiao Jinting glanced at him and asked, “What’s up?”

“Well, I offended the senior on the ship, and I’d like you to convey my apology to him,” said the steward.

Xiao Jinting glanced at Xu Muan, who couldn’t help laughing.

Xiao Xiaodong attacked the pirate on the ship and became a master. The steward regarded Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan as Xiao Xiaodong’s disciples.

Xiao Jinting smiled casually and said, “The senior is broad-minded and won’t bother with you.”

Xiao Jinting gritted his teeth and said inwardly, “Why do I sound so awkward?”

The steward looked at Xiao Jinting and said, “I was blind and offended the senior. I can’t sleep these days. I prepared a gift of apology, and I hope you could help give it to him.”

Xu Muan looked at the steward and thought to himself, “You are blind. It is weird when an Establishment Foundation calls a Nascent Soul Mister.”

Xiao Jinting said indifferently, “Mister, you’re too polite. It’s only a trifle, and you don’t have to do this.”

Xiao Jinting noticed that there was a precious stone in the box. The steward had made efforts.
