Chapter 440: Chapter 440

Xu Lingfeng entered the Weapon Refining Room at the Xu House.

“Lingfeng, there you are.” Elder Xu Lian stroked his beard and looked at him happily.

“Hi, Grandpa Lian.” Xu Lingfeng said sullenly.

Xu Lian asked, “What do you want to refine this time?”

“I’ve run out of Fire Thunder Bead, and I need to refine a few more.”

Xu Lian shook his head and said in anger, “You cause trouble everywhere, and you used up the Fire Thunder Beads.”

Xu Lingfeng said indifferently, “I didn’t cause any trouble. Troubles came to me. I didn’t want that.”

“You have the nerve to do that. Did Xiao Jinting force you to kidnap his spouse?” said Xu Lian sulkily.

Xu Lingfeng’s face darkened, and he asked, “Grandpa Lian, how do you know about it?”

“If you don’t want anyone to know what you’ve done, don’t do it. You caused such big trouble and want to hide it from everyone? You are reckless,” said Xu Lian indignantly.

Xu Lingfeng said casually, “Grandpa, it’s not that serious. Xiao Jinting kept pestering Yi, and I just wanted to warn him. I didn’t mean to kidnap his spouse.”

Xu Lian trembled in anger. “You kidnapped him. That’s the truth. You will get into big trouble one day.”

Xu Lingfeng said, “Grandpa, you’ve thought too much.”

Xu Lian sighed. “Why can’t you get mature like your brother?”

Xu Lingfeng snorted. “I can’t learn that.”

Xu Lian felt helpless.

He asked, “Are Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan on good terms with Li Yi?”

Xu Lingfeng ground his teeth and said, “These two bastards try to steal Yi from me. Yi has a good opinion of them. I can’t understand him.

Xu Lian said, “We should make more friends than enemies. Xiao Jinting is the First Elder of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect. We’d better not offend him.”

Xu Lingfeng said sulkily, “I didn’t want to offend him, but he kept bugging Yi.”

“Second Uncle, there you are.” Xu Wan came out of the Weapon Refining Room with Li Rao.

Xu Lingfeng looked at them and said, “Why are you here?”

Xu Wan glanced at them and said, “Are you done? Go out. It’s too hot here. You might pass out.”

Xu Wan smiled and said, “Second Uncle, you are joking.”

Xu Lingfeng said, “I mean it.”

Xu Wan said with feigned concern, “Second Uncle, did your wife drive you out again?”

Xu Lingfeng said with a frown, “It’s none of your business.”

Xu Wan said sympathetically, “Second Uncle, work harder. Your wife keeps driving you out, but he invites Xiao Jinting to stay with him.”

Xu Lingfeng turned grim in silence.

Li Rao sighed softly. “Second Uncle, Uncle Yi has changed a lot since the accident. I wonder if Xiao Jinting resorted to some means and made Uncle Yi treat him well. I’ll help you persuade him. I heard that Uncle Yi trusts Xiao Jinting and even tells him all the cultivation methods, which is not allowed to pass on to an outsider.”

Xu Lingfeng listened to them with a grave face.

He asked, “Xu Wan, did you take the pendant to the auction house?”

Xu Wan said in surprise, “Why do you say that?”

Xu Lingfeng said fiercely, “Don’t try to fool me. Except for the Xu and Li families, few people know about the pendant. Besides, you competed against Li Yi and raised the price. Have you got all the spiritual stones from the auction house?”

Xu Wan frowned and said, “Second Uncle, you’ve thought too much.”

Xu Lingfeng looked at him with a dark face and said, “Give me back the spiritual stones, or I’ll give you hell.”

Xu Wan was speechless.

Xu Lian looked at Xu Wan and said sulkily, “Wan, you’ve gone too far. How could you do this?”

“Grandpa Lian, it’s a groundless accusation. How do you believe him?”

Xu Lian said sullenly, “The pendant meant nothing to you. If you hadn’t set him up, why would you have competed against your second uncle and his wife? Li Yi had paid more than he should.”

Xu Wan was stumped. He had attempted to upset Xu Lingfeng back then.

Xu Lian looked at Xu Wan and said sternly, “Alright. If you want to make it up, send five thousand spiritual stones to Li Yi.”

Xu Wan was dumbfounded. It didn’t make sense at all.

He said, “Grandpa Lian, I didn’t do it.”

Xu Lian said disapprovingly, “Even if you didn’t do it, you made Li Yi pay extra thousands of spiritual stones. You know well about your second uncle. Don’t you want to get hit by him again?”

Xu Wan was speechless.

At Li Yi’s courtyard.

“So many spiritual stones! Where do they come from?” asked Xu Muan curiously.

Li Yi replied lightly, “From the Xu family.”

Xu Muan asked in bewilderment, “Why did they do that? Why are they so generous?”

Li Yi said helplessly, “You said Xu Wan did it, and the Xu family believed you.”

Xu Muan said in disbelief, “No way.” He thought the Xu family was gullible.

Li Yi smiled and said, “It’s an unexpected fortune.”
