Chapter 555: Chapter 555

Zi Yu suddenly thought of something and said, “Mr. Xiao, after you left, the freak of the Dragon Tribe took someone to the mansion and looked for you.”

Xiao Jinting asked with excitement, “Miss Zi Yu, do you know where they went?”

Xiao Jinting had stayed in Moon Dusk for many years, but he failed to gather any information about Xiao Xiaojin.

Zi Yu shook her head and said, “I don’t know. After Long Jingtian showed up in Moon Dusk, many people went to catch him, so he escaped.”

Xiao Jinting asked, “Many people went to catch Long Jingtian? Why?”

“It goes without saying that they did that because of the blood of Long Jingtian. The Dragon and Phoenix Tribes have few descendants, who are treasured by the tribes in childhood and seldom leave the families. However, Long Jingtian is an exception. He is the mixed blood of the Dragon and Phoenix, who are bitter enemies. As a result, Long Jingtian was abandoned when he was small.”

“There are many Real Immortals in the Lower District, but there were few Immortal Kings. It was said that the Dragon Phoenix Pill made with Long Jingtian’s blood would help a Real Immortal to become an Immortal King.”

Xiao Jinting understood why everyone tried to track down Long Jingtian.

It was dangerous for Xiao Xiaojin to stay with Long Jingtian, who was hunted by the Lower District.

Xu Muan thought for a while and said, “Long Jingtian is not easy to deal with.”

Zi Yu nodded. “Yeah. He has the good traits of both the Dragon and Phoenix and is good at fighting. He even knows the rules of space and can teleport as he likes. His peers in the Dragon and Phoenix tribes are inferior to him.” However, such a genius was repelled by the two families because they were bitter enemies.

Zi Yu asked tentatively, “Mr. Xiao, the cultivator that Long Jingtian accompanied to the mansion is named Xiao Xiaojin. Is he related to you?”

Xiao Jinting said honestly, “He is our son.”

Zi Yu said, “He is awesome. He could order Long Jingtian.”

Xiao Jinting forced a smile. “You are exaggerating.”

…

Zi Yu was seriously injured, and many cultivators of the Fox went out to search for her. She had to hide at Xiao Jinting’s place. The foxes didn’t dare to search Xiao Jinting’s shop because he was a mysterious alchemist.

Zi Yu asked, “Mr. Xiao, you are a Real Immortal. Why do you stay in such a shabby place?”

Xiao Jinting said helplessly, “This is the best I can afford. I’m poor. It takes many pieces of Immortal Crystal to keep a spouse. I don’t have much money, so I have to be frugal.”

Xu Muan nodded. “Yes, Jinting spent much money on me. Miss Zi, if you have more Immortal Crystal, please give him some.”

Zi Yu was disgusted by their pretension. “My Immortal Crystal is in the space ring, and there is not much left.”

Xiao Jinting said quickly, “Don’t you have the Immortal Crystal Card apart from the Immortal Crystal?”

Zi Yu wished to slap him. Xiao Jinting took her Immortal Crystal without consulting her, and now he had the nerve to get her card.

After staying with Xiao Jinting for a while, Zi Yu started to recover.

She looked around Xiao Jinting’s shop and said admiringly, “Mr. Xiao, I was blind. I didn’t know that you are an alchemist.”

Xiao Jinting said indifferently, “I’m not so good as to be recognized by you.”

Zi Yu said, “Mr. Xiao, you are pulling my leg. I’m not so arrogant to belittle a third-grade alchemist. Your alchemy skills are high, and I might ask for your help in the future.”

Xiao Jinting waved his hand and said with good nature, “Feel free to reach me.” It was always good to have a new business.

Zi Yu took an appraising look at Xu Muan and Xiao Jinting. “Mr. Xu, you have a sharp eye for talents. Mr. Xiao is much better than Xu Han.”

Xiao Jinting looked at Zi Yu with bright eyes and said, “Muan and I went through hard times together. No matter if I am poor or rich, Muan stays with me. Our love won’t change. Do you understand?”

Zi Yu said awkwardly, “Understood.”

Xu Muan asked curiously, “Miss Zi, are you in love with someone?”

Zi Yu smiled in embarrassment. “No.”

Xu Muan took a sympathizing look at her and said, “Miss Yu, it’s time for you to look for the one. It’s a happy thing to have someone who cares about you.”

Zi Yu was lost for words.

…

Xue Yue said with concern, “Zi Yu, there you are. I sent many people to look for you, but I couldn’t find you.”

Zi Yu frowned and said with a wince, “Something held me up.”

Xue Yue said, “I heard that you had a fight with the fox.”

Zi Yu nodded. “Yes. I was careless, and the fox hit me with a trick. I almost died. Thankfully, someone saved me.”

Xue Yue giggled. “A knight came to your rescue? Who is it?”

Zi Yu cast Xue Yue a sidelong glance. “Don’t let your imagination go wild. He is married.”

Xue Yue asked curiously, “Married? Who is it?”

“Xiao Jinting, the steward that you recommended.”

Xue Yue widened her eyes. “Xiao Jinting? The Xu family is hunting him. How could he come and save you? He’s bold.”

Zi Yu smiled and said, “He has a leisure life. He runs a pill shop and pretends to be a master.”

Xue Yue asked, “The Xu family said Xiao Jinting kidnapped Xu Muan. Is it true?”
