Chapter 157: 157
After figuring out the reason, in order to retain the relationship with the Pei family, the old master of the Xiao family, who had been in seclusion, stepped out to protect the Xiao family and drove away Xiao Linfeng’s family.
Xiao Linfeng was seriously injured and his strength was not as strong as before. Xiao Qingyan had an accident. Zheng Pei’er, seeing the situation, went back to the Zheng family with her two children.
After Xiao Linfeng’s accident, Wang Lu was attacked in the middle of the mission but was saved by the people from the Marquis household.
The Marquis gave the Pei family a warning, which greatly helped Xiao Linfeng’s family.
“I don’t know. Where is the third brother now?” Xiao Jinfeng said.
Mu Shuyu shook his head and said,”We are in such a mess now. It’s better if the third brother doesn’t come back.”
“Yes!” Xiao Jinfeng nodded. Although the Pei family had been restrained after the Marquis gave a warning, they were still causing trouble behind the scenes.
His father was injured and his dad was saved by people from Marquis household. Nothing happened to the latter, but his dad didn’t dare to go out anymore.
The spiritual plants grown in the fields would be easily destroyed, which made Mu Shuyu very annoyed lately.
“I didn’t expect grandfather to do that.” Xiao Jinfeng said. Xiao Jinfeng always admired his grandfather who was the only cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Practice in his family. However, the Pei family forced his grandfather to actually make the decision to separate from them, which was unimaginable for Xiao Jinfeng.
“There is nothing strange about this. Your grandfather has always been concerned about the big picture.” Mu Shuyu said.
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said,”Yes! Do you think that this Pei Song was really killed by the third brother?”
Mu Shuyu shook his head and said,”I don’t know. Third brother will not look for trouble, so even if third brother really killed him, it is likely that Pei Song seriously offended him. We cannot blame third brother.”
Xiao Jinfeng clenched his fist and said,”That’s right.” After all, Pei Song coveted the money and but could not compare to others. He caused his own death.
“I didn’t expect that the Marquis would help us. I don’t know what kind of friendship third brother has with the marquis.” Xiao Jinfeng was very confused.
Mu Shuyu shook his head. The Marquis household was very concerned about them, but the position of the Marquis’ household was not stable recently, so they couldn’t give much thought to their affairs.
…
In the Star City, Xiao Jingting had been busy refining the spiritual energy in his body. While he was cultivating, Xiao Jingting felt a strong spiritual power sweep by several times which would not have been discovered if Xiao Jingting’s spiritual power had not exceeded that of ordinary people. Xiao Jingting felt lucky that he did not refine pills in the place where he lived.
“Let’s leave here.” Xiao Jingting said to Xu Muan.
Xu Muan nodded and said,”Yes!” After staying in Star City for a long time, Xu Muan also felt that something was wrong. After being in Star City for less than a year, he and Xiao Jingting both entered the peak of the ninth level of Qi Practice, which was really too eye-catching.
“Xiaodong, have you ever gotten tired of staying in Star City all this time?” Xiao Jingting rubbed Xiao Xiaodong’s head.
Xiao Xiaodong shook his head and said,”No.”
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Xiaodong and couldn’t help but feel some sympathy for him. Xiao Xiaodong was only six years old! At this age, the boy was supposed to have fun all the time. But this child was forced by him to cultivate on a daily basis. Thinking of this, Xiao Jingting couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.
“I want to cultivate hard. Xiaofan is trained by the people of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect, I don’t want to be left too far behind by him!” Xiao Xiaodong said.
Xiao Jingting looked at his eldest son’s serious expression and helplessly shook his head, saying,”Let everything take its course. Don’t force yourself too much. It’s good to be working hard, but if you’re working too much, it will backfire.”
Xiao Xiaodong glanced at Xiao Jingting and said,”Father, if you were half as motivated as you are now, ten years ago, you would have been at the Foundation Building realm a long time ago.”
Xiao Jingting,”…” This damned child!
…
Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan left the Star City in a carriage.

Once they left Star City, the feeling of being watched all the time was finally gone, and Xiao Jingting breathed a silent sigh of relief.
Looking at Xiao Jingting, Xu Muan asked,”Where are we going now? Are you still going to make pills?”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said,”We naturally need to refine pills, but can we find a suitable place?”
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting’s confident expression and asked,”Do you know where to go?”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said,”Yes! Let’s go to the Biyue Forest.”
Xu Muan asked wonderingly,”Biyue Forest?”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said,”Yes! Back then I found a cultivator’s cave in Biyue Forest and this cave was built by a Foundation Building Cultivator. It was hidden and it just happened to have a fire vein.” Although the Biyue Forest was now closed, it wasn’t very difficult for him and Xu Muan who were at the ninth level of Qi Practice to sneak in.
He had heard that the Ouyang City’s Lord Mansion had been going south for a while and they were losing control over the surrounding cities.
“Shall we go back home?” Xu Muan asked.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said,”Alright!”
Xiao Jingting drove the carriage and couldn’t help feeling a little spirited.
“We are almost at the Desert City.” Xiao Xiaodong looked at the map.
Xiao Jingting exhaled a breath and said,”I wonder how the family is doing now?”
His current cultivation had caught up with the original body owner, so now he could be regarded as the No.1 cultivator of Xiao family. When he thought of this, Xiao Jingting could not help but feel a little complacent. His accomplishments were nothing in big cities, but here in this small place, he would be admired by everyone.
“Help! Help!” A cry for help came to Xiao Jingting’s ears.
Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan looked at each other and said,”Someone is calling for help! Is it someone who is killing people to steal the goods?”
Xu Muan thought for a while and said,”Go over and take a look.”
When Xiao Jingting approached, he realized that it was the Xiao family’s carriage that was attacked.
Xiao Jingting waved his hand, releasing six flying swords. He slaughtered the demonic beasts that attacked the caravan.
The demonic beasts chasing the caravan were only at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Practice. These demonic beasts were not worth mentioning to Xiao Jingting, but they could easily kill the caravan’s guards.
Xiao Jingting appeared just in time so the team would not suffer great losses. Seeing Xiao Jingting, several cultivators from the caravan had complicated expressions on their faces.
