Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Xu Lingfeng strode inside.
The Little pheasant was trying to swallow a big centipede that it had just caught, and it stopped when Xu Lingfeng broke in.
Xu Lingfeng took a sharp look at Xiao Xiaodong, who raised his hand and greeted him, âSenior Xu, good morning.â
Xu Lingfeng glared at Xiao Xiaodong and said, âWhen Yi is not around, you act recklessly in his yard.â
Xiao Xiaodong thought with guilt, âThe little pheasant only ate some centipede and scorpions. Itâs not a big deal.â
The little pheasant looked at Xu Lingfeng and said, âHey, I know you come to steal the insects. Stop shouting at us.â
Xu Lingfengâs face darkened, and he said in anger, âNonsense! I wonât eat the insects.â
Sensing the murderous intent of Xu Lingfeng, the little pheasant fluttered its wings and hid behind Xiao Xiaodong, saying sullenly, âBrat, this guy is aggressive.â
Xiao Xiaodong said to the pheasant, âRestrain yourself. He might roast you.â
The little pheasant glanced at Xu Lingfeng and said with disdain, âI dare him to roast me. Heâs an abandoned husband.â
Xu Lingfeng waved his hand, and the little pheasant was hit by a stove and fell to the ground.
Xiao Xiaodong rolled his eyes, thinking, âWhat a stupid creature. It shouldnât point that out.â
He said, âSenior Xu, please show some mercy.â
Xu Lingfeng nodded and said indifferently, âDonât worry. It wonât die.â
Xiao Xiaodong was speechless.
â¦
Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan came out. âMr. Xu, why do you come?â
âThis is my wifeâs place. Why canât I come?â Xu Lingfeng clasped his hands behind him and looked at Xiao Jinting arrogantly.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, âYou are right.â
âSenior Xu, you finally come up.â Hermit Rock Heart was overjoyed to see Xu Lingfeng.
Xiao Jinting had a bad feeling at the sight of Hermit Rock Heart.
Chen Xu tilted his head and said to Xiao Xiaodong, âThis guy had been sneaking around these days. There must be something wrong with him.â
Chen Xu hadnât met Hermit Rock Heart before, so he didnât know who he was.
Xiao Jinting felt upset when he heard that. There were too many people wandering around the house these days, and Xiao Jinting didnât check on them. He didnât expect Hermit Rock Heart to come.
Xu Lingfeng looked at Hermit Rock Heart and said, âWhatâs up?â
Hermit Rock Heart pointed at Xiao Jinting with trembling fingers and said, âItâs him. He bought the jade from me. Senior Xu, we have made a deal. If I find the buyer, you will pay me five thousand upper-grade spiritual stones.â
Xiao Jinting thought, âFive thousand upper-grade spiritual stones? Xu Lingfeng squanders away spiritual stones like this.â
Xiao Jinting asked, âMister, I guess you are mistaken. Have we met before?â
Hermit Rock Heart sneered. âElder Xiao, donât argue with me. My nose is very sensitive. You have a special scent. Iâm sure you are the man who bought the jade from me.â
Xiao Jinting thought, âAre you a dog? How could you sniff me out?â
Xu Lingfeng looked at Xiao Jinting with a complicated expression. âYou bought the jade. Why?â
Xiao Jinting willed himself to deny it. âMister, you are mistaken. I didnât buy any jade.â
Hermit Rock Heart tugged at Xu Lingfengâs sleeve and said, âSenior Xu, itâs him. You have to pay me.â
Xiao Jinting was speechless.
Xu Lingfeng looked at Xu Muan with a complicated expression.
Although Xu Lingfeng was not very smart, he was not stupid. Thinking of Li Yiâs sudden advancement, he guessed what was going on.
He looked at Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan, turning green and white.
âAre youâ¦â
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Li Yi came in.
Xu Lingfeng turned around and looked at Li Yi with concern. âYi, you have just advanced to Nascent Soul. Why donât you take a rest?â
Li Yi glanced at him and said, âIâm fine.â
Xu Lingfeng mumbled, âOkay.â He looked at Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan in embarrassment.
Li Yi asked, âHermit Rock Heart, why are you here?â
âSenior Xu promised to give me five thousand upper-grade spiritual stones.â
Xu Lingfeng blushed. Li Yi tossed a weapon at Hermit Rock Heart, âThis magical weapon costs five thousand upper-grade spiritual stones. Please leave.â
Hermit Rock Heart took the magical weapon and gave a broad smile. âSenior Li, thank you. You are very kind to me.â
Xiao Jinting raised his eyebrow and thought, âXu Lingfeng wastes a lot of money.â
Hermit Rock Heart left with the magical weapon happily.
Li Yi said to Xu Lingfeng, âDidnât I ask you to stop investigating? You posted such a high reward.â
Xu Lingfeng rubbed his hands awkwardly.
Li Yi hesitated for a while and said, âLetâs go in and talk.â
Xiao Jinting and the others went to the living room, and Xu Lingfeng followed them awkwardly.
