At the Xu House.
âFather, the centipede failed,â Xu Peng said.
Xu Xun sighed and said sullenly, âWhat a good-for-nothing.â It was such a great opportunity. Xu Lingfeng had kidnapped Xu Muan. If Xu Muan died, Xu Lingfeng would be blamed. Xiao Jinting loved Xu Muan deeply and would avenge his death.
It would be better if Xu Muan was Xu Lingfengâs son. How wonderful if Xu Muan died in Xu Lingfengâs hand. It was a pity that the centipede failed to kill Xu Muan, who was only a Golden Core.
Xu Peng frowned and said, âFather, Second Uncle seems to have become stronger.â
Xu Wang clenched his fists. Even though he and Xu Lingfeng were both at the medium level of Nascent Soul, Xu Lingfeng was more powerful than him.
âFather, is it possible that Xu Muan is the son of Second Uncle? Didnât the child die?â Xu Cheng asked.
Back then, signs showed that the child had died, so Xu Lingfeng gave up on the investigation.
Xu Wang pondered for a moment and said, âItâs possible, but it isnât very likely. If Xu Muan is the child, things will change significantly in our family.â
Xu Peng and Xu Cheng exchange a glance.
âFather, although Xiao Jinting is powerful, his foundation is weak. If Xu Muan is the son of Second Uncle, we can kill him first. Itâs not a big deal,â Xu Peng said.
Xu Wang squinted and said, âItâs hard! Even an advanced Nascent Soul is not confident to defeat Xiao Jinting.â
Xu Peng lowered his head, unconvinced.
â¦
At the Li house.
Li Yi sat at the table and said helplessly, âXu Lingfeng is getting more idiotic. It surprised me that he captured Xu Muan and threatened Xiao Jinting.â
Li Shuang said with fright, âFortunately, he didnât make any trouble. If Xu Muan is your son, Mr. Xu has made a fool of himself.â
âIf Xu Muan is my son, I canât let Xu Lingfeng know,â Li Yi said sullenly.
âWhen will Xiao Jinting come over?â Li Shuang asked.
âHe said they would come tomorrow.â
âThereâs something strange about the centipede. Was it sent by Xu Wang?â Li Shuang said.
Li Yi turned grim. âI guess so.â If Xu Muan got killed by the centipede, Xiao Jinting would blame Xu Lingfeng regardless if Xu Muan was their son or not.
âXu Wang has gone too far,â Li Shuang said indignantly.
Li Yi sneered. âXu Wang took a lot of pills in order to catch up with Xu Lingfeng, so he is not as powerful as Xu Lingfeng. He made too much effort on calculation instead of cultivation. Even if he gets the resources, I guess he will be killed by the thunder retribution.â
âYoung Master, are you going to keep the secret from Mr. Xu? Itâs been so many years, and he couldnât forgive himself,â said Li Shuang.
Li Yi lowered his head and said, âIâll see if I should tell him after I confirm Xu Muanâs identity. He has just kidnapped Xu Muan. Itâs not appropriate to tell him now.â
â¦
After Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan returned to the inn, Xiao Xiaodong and Chen Xu came to see them.
âWhy do you come?â Xiao Jinting looked at them.
âYou have been here for a long time. Xiaodong is worried, so we come to see you,â Chen Xu replied.
Xiao Jinting looked at Xiao Xiaodong and thought to himself, âAre they here to watch the fun?â
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xu Muan and said with curiosity, âDaddy, I heard that you were kidnapped by someone who might be my grandfather.â
Xu Muan was speechless.
âHe might be your grandfather, but he doesnât seem so,â Xu Muan said lightly.
âBut I think he behaves the same as Xiaofan. He must be related to you,â Xiao Xiaodong said.
Xiao Jinting looked at Xiao Xiaodong and warned seriously, âThe Green Continent is not a safe place. Your daddy has just been kidnapped, and you may be kidnapped as well. Your cultivation levels are low, and you should watch out and act cautiously.â
âFather, I know what to do. Daddy, why havenât you confirmed your identity after such a long time?â Xiao Xiaodong asked.
Xu Muan shook his head and said, âNot yet, but I will soon know. Tomorrow Iâll verify my bloodline.â
Although all sorts of signs indicated that he was related to Li Yi, it had to be verified. The Xu family and the Li family were big families. If they made a mistake, the two families would think he was trying to fool them.
