Chapter 432: Chapter 432

After Li Yi greeted Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan, they chatted enthusiastically.

Li Yi shared with Xiao Jinting many secret methods for raising spiritual insects, and the latter benefited from it.

Li Yi talked to Xiao Jinting most of the time and occasionally addressed Xu Muan, while he completely ignored Xu Lingfeng.

Xu Lingfeng sat on the side silently as if he was a bullied wife.

“I heard that Elder Xiao and Elder Xu got married very early,” Li Yi said.

Xiao Jinting nodded, “Yeah, people in the Barbarian Continent get married very early. We got married in our teens.”

Xiao Jinting noticed that Li Yi clenched his fists. Xiao Jinting thought to himself, “Li Yi doesn’t seem to agree to early marriage. I don’t like it either, but I couldn’t help it.”

“You got married when you were a teenager. You were too impatient. I didn’t expect you to be able to cultivate to this extent after you lost your virginity,” Xu Lingfeng said sarcastically.

Xiao Jinting blushed unconsciously. Xu Lingfeng was straightforward.

“The cultivation level of the Barbarian Continent is very low, and people there like to have many children. When I was young, I didn’t know virginity does good to cultivation,” Xiao Jinting said sincerely.

“It was ignorant of you not to know about that,” Xu Lingfeng said.

Xiao Jinting thought to himself, “Xu Lingfeng is said to have few friends. Now I know why.”

“I wonder when you got married,” Xiao Jinting said.

“A man should establish himself before he gets married. I married Yi at the age of one hundred and twenty, ” Xu Lingfeng said.

Xiao Jinting thought to himself, “He got married at the age of 120. Life has been tough for him.”

“This guy is quick-tempered because his desire is not satisfied. He managed to get married at the age of 120 and got separated after a short while. He’s a wretched thing. If he was in my old world, he would not get married at all.”

“Oh, I see. Mr. Xu, you have a strong mind. I admire you,” said Xiao Jinting with feigned respect.

“That’s enough. What are you talking about? If you have nothing to do here, you can go back.” Li Yi looked at Xu Lingfeng angrily.

His anger deflated Xu Lingfeng, who didn’t say anything else.

Xiao Jinting and Li Yi talked about cultivating the spiritual insects and they established a rapport. Li Yi in the end invited Jinting and Xu Muan to stay in the courtyard for a few days, while Xu Lingfeng was thrown out.

…

In the secret room.

“Have you investigated?” Li Yi asked.

Li Shuang hesitated and said, “I sent people to go to the Barbarian Continent at the fastest speed. I learned that Xu Muan is the child of a Xu family there.”

“So he isn’t my son?” Li Yi said in disappointment.

“Well, it’s not confirmed yet. Xu Muan was born at the time when the child disappeared. It is too coincidental.”

“In addition, our people have found something unusual. Xu Muan’s father, Xu Fu, died, but his brother is still alive. However, he went mad not long ago because someone searched his memories,” Li Shuang said.

“Someone searched his memories?” Li Yi was a little surprised.

“It should be Xiao Jinting. Previously, a secret realm appeared in the Barbarian Continent, and Xiao Jinting took Xu Muan there,” Li Shuang said.

A hint of alert flashed across Li Yi’s eyes. “It seems that Xiao Jinting is not a good person.”

“I see that he and Xu Muan are quite close,” Li Shuang said.

“This is true.” When Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan stayed in his courtyard, Li Yi found that Xiao Jinting was very considerate to Xu Muan.

“There is one more thing,” Li Shuang said.

Li Yi looked at Li Shuang and asked, “What is it?”

“After Xu Muan’s brother went mad, Xiao Jinting visited a nearby pawnshop and redeemed a jade pendant,” Li Shuang said.

Li Yi instantly crushed the teacup in his hand.

Li Shuang nodded and said, “Although I don’t know if it is the pendant sold at the auction house, it is said to be very similar to it. I have already asked them to move the shop owner to a secret place just in case.”

…

At the Xu house.

“Second Uncle, you’re back,” Xu Peng looked at Xu Lingfeng and greeted him with a smile.

“What, can’t I come back?” Xu Lingfeng asked coldly.

“Second Uncle, what are you talking about? If you want to come back, I can’t stop you. I don’t understand one thing.”

“What is it?” Xu Lingfeng asked impatiently as he crossed his arm over his chest.

“Xiao Jinting has moved to stay at your wife’s home, but you keep being driven away. Aren’t you worried?” Xu Peng asked.

Xu Lingfeng turned grim. Li Yi was usually aloof to people, but he was quite warm towards Xiao Jinting. He not only gave advice to Xiao Jinting but also asked him to stay.

When Xu Lingfeng went to see Li Yi, the latter ignored him while talking to Xiao Jinting.

Xu Peng smiled and continued, “Uncle, I heard that Xiao Jinting is not simple. He advanced Nascent Soul before he turned one hundred years old. Although you are talented, your cultivation level is lower than him. I also learned that he is charming, and many cultivators in his sect admire him.”

Xu Lingfeng’s face darkened, and he said, “Xiao Jinting is staying at Yi’s with his wife.”

Xu Peng smiled and said, “You’re right. Perhaps I have thought too much.”

Xu Lingfeng watched Xu Peng amble away with murderous intent in his eyes.
