Chapter 441: Chapter 441

At the Xu house.

“They will take the spiritual stones. It’s an unexpected fortune for them.”

Xu Peng asked, “Did you send the spiritual stones?”

Xu Wan nodded and said sulkily, “Second Uncle looks simple, but he is good at playing tricks.”

He fell for the trap. Now the whole family thought he had forged the pendant and tricked his second uncle. If he didn’t give Li Yi the spiritual stones, he was afraid that Xu Lingfeng would hit him. If he gave them away, that meant he admitted he had done that.

Xu Peng patted Xu Wan on the shoulder and said, “Come on. Don’t be angry. You buy peace with money.”

“Five thousand spiritual stones!” said Xu Wan sulkily. The Xu family was wealthy, but there were many descendants, each of whom got limited spiritual stones. He almost went bankrupt after he gave Li Yi the spiritual stones.

“Why did you mess up the auction?” said Xu Peng.

Xu Wan said grumpily, “Peng, why do you scold me?”

Xu Peng said, “In my view, it’s good that you are wronged.”

Xu Wan sneered, “What do you mean?”

Xu Peng smiled and said, “I can tell that Second Uncle can’t find his son.”

Xu Wan nodded and said, “I agree with you.” Xu Lingfeng couldn’t find any clues, so he made the wrong accusation of him.

…

Xiao Jinting stayed with Li Yi and learned the method of taming the insects.

There used to be over seventy Golden Core Golden Bee leaders in his jade space, and only ten survived the fierce battle.

Although he had fewer bees, the remaining ten bee leaders had turned extremely aggressive and reached the advanced level of Golden Core. The ordinary bees split into ten groups and followed different leaders.

Xu Muan said, “Daddy, after the bee leaders reached the advanced level of Golden Core, they don’t fight with each other anymore.”

“It’s not easy to cultivate a queen bee. The ten remaining leaders have similar strength and fear each other, so they won’t fight for the time being,” said Li Yi.

Xu Muan said ruefully, “Oh, I see.”

Li Yi said, “You have to wait. The bees are not ready yet. You can choose two strong leaders and cultivate them. It’s not good to have ten equally strong bees.”

Xu Muan nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll tell Jinting.”

Li Shuang came and said, “Young Master, Li Rao has come.”

Li Yi narrowed his eyes and said with disgust, “Why does she come again?”

Li Shuang asked, “Shall I drive her away?”

Li Yi shook his head and said, “No. She’s adored by the family. If you drive her away, she will speak ill of me at home. I don’t want to cause any trouble.”

Li Shuang said sullenly, “The elders are too impatient. You failed once to advance to Nascent Soul, and they couldn’t wait to cultivator the others.”

Li Yi shook his head and said indifferently, “It’s normal for big families, who would not put all their hopes on one person.”

Xu Muan rose and said, “Daddy, I’d better leave.”

Li Yi nodded and said, “Okay.”

…

When Li Rao entered the yard, she saw the Golden Red-tail Scorpions scurry around.

Looking at them, she couldn’t help praising, “They look good.”

Xu Wan said, “I heard that Xiao Jinting is raising scorpions. I guess these scorpions belong to him.”

Li Rao said, “They are all Golden Core scorpions. Even my third uncle can’t control so many poisonous scorpions. Xiao Jinting is powerful.”

Xu Wan nodded in agreement. “Yeah.” It would be awful if Li Yi could control these scorpions at the stage of Golden Core.

“I didn’t expect a newbie like Xiao Jinting to cultivate the scorpions like this,” said Li Rao admiringly.

Xu Wan said, “He has spent many resources on them.” After Xiao Jinting and Xu Lingfeng killed the centipede, he fed the scorpions the corpse of the centipede.

That was a corpse of a Nascent Soul insect. The shell of the centipede could be refined into quite some weapons. However, Xiao Jinting’s scorpions ate it up. Xu Wan thought Xiao Jinting was squandering the treasure.

Li Rao said, “Third Uncle.”

Li Yi took an indifferent glance at her and said, “What do you come here for?”

Li Rao said with feigned sorrow, “I come to see you. You didn’t come to my wedding. That broke my heart.”

Li Yi was unruffled, saying lightly, “There were many people at the wedding, and you don’t need me to give you the blessing.”

Li Rao asked, “Third Uncle, are Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan staying with you?”

Li Yi nodded and said, “Yeah.”

“Third Uncle, you treat the young couple well. You don’t even allow Second Uncle to enter your yard, but you invited Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan to stay with you.”

Li Yi said, “I agreed to help Xiao Jinting cultivate the queen bee, so I asked them to stay with me for a few days. What’s wrong with that?”

Li Rao said with a smile, “Nothing. There are not many Golden Bees in the world, but Xiao Jinting has so many at the Golden Core state. He’s amazing.”

Li Yi nodded and said, “Elder Xiao is a genius.”

Li Rao said, “It seems that you are on good terms with him.”

Li Yi smiled and said, “Although Elder Xiao is not from a family of taming beasts, he is experienced in raising beasts. I benefit a lot from him.”

Li Rao smiled sweetly and said, “Aren’t you afraid that Second Uncle will be jealous?”

Li Yi said indifferently, “Xiao Jinting is married, and he is close to his spouse. Why should Lingfeng get jealous?”

Li Rao said, “Second Uncle might not think the same way.”

Li Yi said casually, “I don’t care.”

Li Rao was speechless.
