Chapter 430: Chapter 430

Xu Lingfeng watched Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan leave. He looked back at Li Yi and complained, “Yi, why did you refuse to take the Fruit of Life? It’s so precious.”

Li Yi frowned and said, “Because it’s too precious. The breeding method in my hand is very dangerous. If Xiao Jinting doesn’t handle it well, he might not be able to cultivate the queen bee and even kill most of his Golden Bees.”

Xu Lingfeng said indifferently, “That’s his business. It has nothing to do with you.”

“If I take advantage of him this time, he might come to cause trouble if he finds something wrong with the method.” Li Yi shook his head.

“I will protect you,” Xu Lingfeng said.

Li Yi looked at Xu Lingfeng and said, “You are only a medium Nascent Soul. I heard that Xiao Jinting even defeated advanced Nascent Souls. You might not be his rival.”

Xu Lingfeng blushed and said sullenly, “I’m different from those weak advanced Nascent Souls, who are worthless.”

Li Yi shook his head and said, “Spend more time on your cultivation. If you can advance to the peak of Nascent Soul earlier than your brother, you might get the resources. Otherwise, he will kill you in a few hundred years.”

Xu Lingfeng’s face darkened. “Do you think he will kill me?”

“Why not? If you had not been lucky, you would have died back then. You have fallen out with him. If he advances to Deity Transformation earlier than you, he can kill you easily,” said Li Yi coldly.

Xu Lingfeng sighed and said, “Even if I can get the blessing of the ancestors at the altar, my chance of advancing to Deity Transformation will only be increased by 15%.”

Li Yi said, “The temptation is strong enough for people to risk their life.”

…

Not long after Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan left Li Yi’s courtyard, Li Yi drove Xu Lingfeng away.

Li Yi drummed the table with his fingers and said, “Li Shuang, do you think Xiao Jinting only came to ask for the cultivation method of the Golden Bees?”

Li Shuang thought for a moment and said, “Xiao Jinting is a bit strange.”

“Why do you say that?” Li Yi asked. Li Yi knew that Li Shuang was careful and could notice the details that he might miss.

“I took his spiritual stone card just now. It is a card without any names. After I transferred three thousand top-grade spiritual stones, I noticed that there were 1,750spiritual stones left in the card.”

Li Yi was confused. “Is there a problem?”

“Young Master, you spent five thousand top-grade spiritual stones on the pendant. The auction house took 5% commission, and the owner of the pendant got 4,750 top-grade spiritual stones. After we took three thousand, he has exactly 1,750 spiritual stones left,” Li Shuang said.

Li Yi widened his eyes. “You mean Xiao Jinting is…”

Li Shuang nodded and said, “It’s only my guess. However, Xiao Jinting went to the Xu’s Shop after he arrived in the Green Continent and intended to buy the Tree of Magical Weapons. Soon after that, the jade pendant appeared at the auction house. Now, he came to see you. It’s weird. Besides, his wife is surnamed Xu.”

Li Yi suddenly widened his eyes and said, “You mean…”

Li Shuang looked at Li Yi’s excited face and felt regretful. Xiao Jinting’s wife was an advanced Golden Core. It would be great if he was Li Yi’s son, but Li Yi would be disappointed if he wasn’t.

“Young Master, this is only my guess, but you can get in touch with them,” Li Shuang said.

Li Yi calmed down and said, “Yes, you’re right. Find someone to secretly investigate their background. Don’t let the Xu family find out. The people inside the Li family are not reliable either.”

Li Shuang nodded and said, “Young Master, don’t worry. I know what to do.”

…

“Li Yi is really a gentleman!” Xiao Jinting shook his head, pulling a wry face. In fact, he was not short of Fruit of Life but spiritual stones. He took the risk of selling one, but Li Yi refused it because it was too precious.

Xu Muan lowered his head, deep in thought.

Suddenly, Xu Lingfeng jumped out of nowhere and blocked their way. Xiao Jinting looked at Xu Lingfeng with a smile and asked, “Mr. Xu, what’s up?”

“May I talk to you?” Xu Lingfeng asked.

Xiao Jinting answered kindly, “Of course.”

Xu Lingfeng and Xiao Jinting found a place to sit down. As soon as Xu Lingfeng took a seat, he poured out everything from his space ring.

“I’ll exchange them for the Fruit of Life.”

Xiao Jinting looked at the treasures and felt helpless. He said, “Mr. Xu, you have a lot of good things. Unfortunately, there’s nothing I want.”

Xu Lingfeng looked at Xiao Jinting with a gloomy expression. “Do you still want the seedling of the Tree of Magical Weapons?”

Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “I didn’t know that the tree means so much to your family, so I asked for it. I hope you can forgive me. ”

Xu Lingfeng looked at Xiao Jinting strangely and said, “You don’t want the seedling?”

Xiao Jinting shook his head, “No.”

Xiao Jinting and Xu Lingfeng did not reach an agreement, so they said goodbye and went separate ways.

“Why don’t you exchange with him?” asked Xu Muan.

Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “I haven’t figured out whether he is an enemy or a friend. We can’t rush to the conclusion. Let’s wait a little longer.”

“You’re right,” Xu Muan agreed.
