Chapter 443: Chapter 443

At Li Yi’s house.

Li Yi was studying the technique of taming beasts. Li Shuang came and said, “Young Master, Elder Li Xun has come.”

Li Yi gave a bitter smile and said, “My place is seldom visited, but these days people keep coming to see me.” He hadn’t seen his grandfather for a few years. Li Yi wondered why he came.

Li Yi entered the living room and greeted Li Xun, “Hello, Grandfather.”

Li Xun turned around and looked at Li Yi warmly. “Yi, how are you doing these years?”

Li Yi said lightly, “I’m fine.”

“Yi, I heard that you are cold to Lingfeng recently, but you are quite close to Xiao Jinting from Green Cloud Immortal Sect.”

“Yi, Lingfeng is a good man. You’ve been cold to him for so many years, but he still loves you only. Men in our continent usually have many concubines.”

“I think you should forgive him, lest he loves someone else. You will feel regretful. Such a good man as Lingfeng is rare. You should cherish him.” Li Xun patiently said to Li Yi.

Li Yi was speechless. It seemed that not only Xiao Lingfeng but also the Li family thought he had an affair with Xiao Jinting. Did his grandfather come to put in a good word for Xu Lingfeng?

Li Yi said, “Xiao Jinting is married. There is nothing between us. Grandfather, you’ve thought too much.”

Li Xun let out a sigh of relief and nodded. “I’m glad to hear that. Xiao Jinting is good, but Lingfeng is not bad. You’ve been married for so many years. Don’t make a fuss.”

Li Yi’s face darkened. What kind of person did Xu Lingfeng and his grandfather think he was? He was not a maniac, who sprang on any man he saw.

“Grandfather, don’t worry. There is nothing between Xiao Jinting and me, and I don’t have the intention of sabotaging the marriage of Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan.” Why would he ruin his son’s happiness?

Li Xun said, “I learned from Li Rao that you treat Xiao Jinting well, and you even told him many secrets.”

Li Yi turned grave. “That’s not true. I only help Xiao Jinting cultivate the queen bee, and he agrees to share with me the royal jelly when we succeed. It’s a fair deal.”

Li Xun said, “Royal jelly is precious. If Xiao Jinting can cultivate the queen been, get more royal jelly from him. He has so many Golden Core bees, and I guess he has plenty of royal jelly. Exchange more from him. The young cultivators in our family need it.”

Li Yi nodded and said, “I know.”

Li Xun looked at Li Yi closely, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes. “Yi, are you going to advance to Nascent Soul?”

Li Yi said, “Yes, I plan to do that.”

Li Xun wore a complicated look on his face. “Yi, you failed once. You have to take extra care this time.”

Li Yi said, “Grandfather, don’t worry. I won’t do that unless I’m confident.”

Li Xun nodded and said, “Take your time. You can’t rush. If you have thought it over, go back to our house. It’s safer to make the advancement there than here.”

“I know.”

After they chatted for a while, Li Xun left.

Li Shuang asked, “Young Master, are you okay?”

Li Yi nodded. “I’m fine.”

He thought Li Ran must have said something bad about him in front of the elders.

Li Yi gave a wry smile and shook his head. “I didn’t expect Grandfather to have the same logic as Xu Lingfeng. I had thought only a dumbhead like Xu Lingfeng would let his imagination go wild, but I hadn’t expected my grandfather to have the same wild imagination.”

Why did so many people think he had an affair with Xiao Jinting? Although Xiao Jinting was good, he was too young.

Li Shuang smiled and said, “Elder Li Xun seems to like Xu Lingfeng.”

Li Yi said solemnly, “Although Lingfeng is simple, he has many advantages.”

Compared to Li Xun, Xu Lingfeng was a perfect man. Li Xun had dozens of wives and concubines, and he had countless mistresses outside the family. He was punished in some way. One of his sons took an adventure and got killed by a female cultivator, who needed men to cultivate.

Li Shuang looked at Li Yi and smile. “Young Master, are you going to forgive Mr. Xu?”

Li Yi said, “I can’t blame him for what had happened back then, but I can’t forget all this. Now that Muan is alive and has a good life, I’m not angry anymore.”

…

When Xiao Jinting came, Li Yi greeted him with a smile, “There you are.”

Xiao Jinting said, “Is that the elder of the Li family? He doesn’t seem to like me.”

Li Yi said, “He’s a silly old man. Don’t mind him.” He wondered what Xu Lingfeng had done to get Li Xun to like him so much.

Xiao Jinting asked, “When do you plan to make the advancement to Nascent Soul?”

Li Yi frowned and said, “I can’t hold it back for long.”

Xiao Jinting looked at Li Yi and asked, “Do you need my help?”

Li Yi waved his hand and said, “No, thank you. You’ve helped me a lot.” He was making no progress in his cultivator because of his depression. After he knew Xu Muan was his son, and both Xu Muan and Xiao Jinting had high cultivation levels, his depression vanished, and he made great progress in his cultivation.

Li Yi was happy with the strength of Xiao Jinting, but he felt embarrassed. If he didn’t advance to Nascent Soul soon, he felt he was inferior to his son-in-law.

Xiao Jinting asked, “Do you need any pills?”

Li Yi shook his head and said, “No, thank you.” Xu Lingfeng had been collecting treasures and sending them to Li Yi, so Li Yi was never short of cultivation resources. He failed last time because of his depression.

Xiao Jinting said, “I hope you can make it this time.”

Li Yi smiled and said, “Thank you.”
