Chapter 70: Chapter 70

In the Zhou family.

“It’s very late now, why haven’t you gone to bed?” Zhou Kanghe walked into the bedroom and greeted Sun Miaoyin casually.

“I’ve got a message from Sun Miaomiao that Xiao Jingting and Xiao Qingyan’s sons were fighting today,” replied Sun Miaoyin.

“I’ve heard that, too.” The great four families had spies in each other, and whenever something happened in one family, the other three would know at once.

“Xiao Qingyan is the most outstanding one in the second family of Xiao, but since now Xiao Jinfeng and Xiao Jingting have advanced to the fifth level of Qi Practice, and Xiao Qingyan has disadvantages in both cultivation and age, and Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng have shown the intention for collaboration, Xiao Qingyan’s superior position can be endangered!” Zhou Kanghe sneered.

“It seems Xiao Jingting has been reshaped to a brand-new person since he came back this time,” Sun Miaomiao said.

Xiao Jingting used to be compliant with Sun Miaomiao before, but now, according to Miaomiao, he treated her indifferently and kind of hated her.

“That’s true. I didn’t see that this third Childe Xiao was such an excellent person; I can’t look down upon him anymore. Since Xiao Jingting has helped Xiao Jinfeng in his distress, and given that Xiao Jinfeng is such a blunt one, they can become very close.”

Sun Miaoyin had a delicate feeling when she heard Zhou Kanghe mentioning Xiao Jinfeng. She had had an engagement with Xiao Jinfeng since childhood, but when she grew up, she was quite dissatisfied with the engagement due to her talent in cultivation, so did the Sun family, they regret for settling the engagement too hastily in the beginning.

When Xiao Jinfeng’s parents were “gone”, Sun family took the opportunity to break off the engagement.

After that, Sun Miaoyin felt relieved. And she had thought that Xiao Jinfeng would be upset by this for some time, but she heard that Xiao Jinfeng had fallen in love with a Ger called Mu Shuyu even when the engagement with Sun Miaoyin was still there, and Mu Shuyu even had conceived Xiao Jinfeng’s baby at that time.

Sun Miaoyin just felt quite uncomfortable by knowing that.

And it’s said that Mu Shuyu also had a talent in cultivation and had advanced to level five of Qi Practice as Sun Miaoyin did, which made her even more uncomfortable.

……

The next day, Xiao Jingting hung out with his family early in the morning.

Xiao Jingting had also invited Xiao Jinfeng and Mu Shuyu for company. Though Xiao Jinfeng didn’t feel it appropriate to hang around like this since Xiao Xiaofan had just injured Xiao Yuerong, he just couldn’t refuse Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong’s expecting expression for that.

Xiao Xiaofan had hardly ever hung around in the fair since childhood, so he was attracted and dazzled by all sorts of goods. So had Xiao Xiaodong, who was looking around with curiosity.

When Xiao Jingting came back to the Desert City, he had sold his fields and houses in the Mound Village, and he also had some family property here, so he was quite rich now and willing to purchase for Xiao Xiaofan anything he liked.

By seeing Xiao Jingting acting like a spendthrift, Xu Muan said helplessly, “Don’t pamper him like that.”

Xiao Jingting smiled, “Xiaofan is still very young and in an age for fun.”

Xu Muan smiled, too, and didn’t go on stopping him. Xiaofan had suffered much from birth, which made Xu Muan feel sorry.

Xiao Xiaodong pulled a long face and scoffed at any toys liked by Xiao Xiaofan, however, there was some sense of envy deep in his eyes.

Looking at Xiao Xiaodong, Xiao Jingting asked, “Xiaodong, don’t you want any toy?”

With his hands clasping behind, showing a long face and the chin up, Xiao Xiaodong replied proudly, “I’ve stopped playing with toys long ago.”

Looking at Xiao Xiaodong surprisedly, Xiao Xiaofan asked, “Brother, did you have any toy before? Why didn’t I know? Had you played them secretly?”

Xiao Xiaodong stared at Xiao Xiaofan like his was pissed off, “Fool.”

“Please stop scolding me, brother. I am not a fool. Even if I become one, you have to take the blame,” Xiao Xiaofan said, depressed.

Xiao Xiaodong had nothing to say.

This day, Xiao Qingyan woke up with reluctance, by knowing that Xiao Jingting had brought his family to hang out. He had decided to ask Xiao Jingting for some explanation, and now he was even angry with Xiao Jingting.

……

Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng chose a restaurant and took everyone there.

Sitting in a restaurant of Desert City again, Xiao Jinfeng felt an otherworldly strangeness.

Xiao Xiaofan read the menu and ordered one after another dishes.

Xu Muan turned to Xiao Jingting and said, “We can’t finish so much dishes.”

Xiao Jingting said disapprovingly, “That’s OK. We are not always generous like this. And it’s the first time for our son eating here, we should certainly let him have enough.”

Xu Muan smiled, “Alright.”

Mu Shuyu said lightly, “I haven’t eaten in such a big restaurant for a long time. I remember the last time was when I still served in the mercenary team…” He stopped suddenly by realizing that it’s an expensive large celebration, and took a glance at Xiao Jinfeng with some guilt.

However, Xiao Jinfeng was holding her hands and said, “It seems you’ve lost a lot of weight, just eat as you can later.”

Mu Shuyu replied helplessly, “Have I? You’re talking nonsense!”

Xiao Xiaofu yawned with boredom in Mu Shuyu’s arms.

After ordering the dishes, Xiao Xiaofan looking around excitedly.

The restaurant served the dishes efficiently and soon the table was put with all kinds of dishes.

Mu Shuyu fed Xiao Xiaofu egg custard with a spoon. Seeing that he was too busy for caring the baby to enjoy his meal, Xiao Jinfeng clipped a dumpling and sent it to his mouth, “Have a taste. The dumpling is delicious.”

Mu Shuyu felt kind of embarrassed with her face turning red, but she also didn’t refuse it.
