Chapter 140: 140
At sunset, Xiao Jingting drove the carriage as usual. He headed towards Star City but bumped into a large convoy.
Xiao Jingting found several acquaintances in the convoy: one was Ouyang Mingyue and the others were Ouyang Jing and Ouyang Jinyue. That’s right. Xiao Jingting bumped into the convoy of the Ouyang family which was heading towards the Star City.
As soon as the carriage driven by Xiao Jingting approached the Ouyang family’s convoy, they were asked by the Ouyang family escort team to keep their distance from their convoy.
Ouyang Jinyue who was bored, spotted Xiao Xiaofan’s figure and came over to chat.
“Uncle Xiao, are you planning to go to Star City as well?” Ouyang Jingyue walked up to Xiao Jingting and asked.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said,”Yes! Are you going too?”
Ouyang Jinyue nodded and said,”Yes!”
Xiao Xiaofan holding the milk jug sat on the double Jiao horse, curiously looking at Ouyang Jinyue before saying,”Little sister, what would you be doing in Star City?”
Ouyang Jinyue folded her arms and said angrily,”I am a young lady.”
Xiao Xiaofan swayed his feet that were hanging in the air to compare their height and said,”Look, I’m taller than you now.”
Ouyang Jinyue snorted and raised her chin as she smiled darkly,”Believe it or not! Should I kick you down?”
Xiao Xiaofan puffed his cheek and said,”You’re so fierce!”
Ouyang Jinyue smiled triumphantly and said,”You are finally afraid.”
“Miss, what are you doing here?! Hurry and go back to our convoy. It’s not safe here.” A middle-aged woman gestured to Xiao Jingting and others as she looked at Ouyang Jinyue with earnest words.
Xiao Jingting glanced at the middle-aged woman indifferently. The middle-aged woman was a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Practice, so when she looked at him and Xu Muan, her eyes were full of vigilance and disdain, as if their family was something despicable that would stain them.
Ouyang Jinyue frowned and said,”Go back first, I’ll come back after playing for a while.”
“Young lady, you are still young and easily deceived.” The middle-aged woman was very worried as she glanced at Xiao Jingting.
Xiao Jingting rolled his eyes. Did he look like a liar? All jokes aside, back on Earth, he had always been a good student with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty! He was a righteous man!
Ouyang Jinyue became a little impatient. “Aunt Yu, I am already so big. I will not be cheated so easily.”
“Young lady, you are only six years old.” Qian Yu said with a smile.
Ouyang Jinyue became dissatisfied. “What’s wrong with being six years old? Six years old is already big. Anyway, many guards are here, so how would my staying here matter?”
Qian Yu still wanted to say something, but Ouyang Jinyue had already impatiently waved her hand. “Alright Aunt Yu, just stop talking. I am not a child anymore, don’t be nosy.”
Although Ouyang Jinyue was young, probably because of her origin, she had a certain prestige.
Qian Yu’s face changed and she didn’t dare to get angry with Ouyang Jinyue. She only glared at Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan.
Xiao Jingting couldn’t help feeling a little depressed, thinking,‘The weak ones are easily bullied! This woman doesn’t dare to offend Ouyang Jinyue but continues to despise me. I am actually not as intimidating as a six-year-old girl!’ Xiao Jingting felt a deep sense of frustration.
Xiao Jingting saw Qian Yu went straight to Ouyang Mingyue and muttered something into her ear.
Xiao Jingting didn’t need to guess, and he was sure that this woman wouldn’t have anything good to say.
Qian Yu was only at the sixth level of Qi Practice, but she relied on her Marquis’ background and looked down on him.
Xiao Jingting had always felt that this world was a pure cultivation world. But suddenly, he realized that in this world, the background was important too!

“Who is that woman? Who is she to you?” Xiao Xiaofan asked.
“She’s my wet nurse.” Ouyang Jinyue said.
Xiao Xiaofan stared at her and said,”You’re so old but you are still drinking milk!”
Ouyang Jingyue blushed and said angrily,”I have been weaned for a long time, but the nurse has always been taking care of me.”
Xiao Xiaofan nodded and said,”Really?”
Ouyang Jinyue looked at the milk jug in Xiao Xiaofan’s hand and said angrily,”You still dare to ask me about it, but look at what’s in your hand. Beast milk, you are so old and you’re still drinking milk.”
Xiao Xiaofan lightly snorted and said,”So ignorant. This is not beast milk but milk wine that boys are meant to drink.”
Ouyang Jingyue looked at Xiao Xiaofan with some suspicion and said,”Really? However, there’s no smell of wine at all. It rather smells like heavy milk.”
Xiao Xiaofan snorted softly and said,”No vision, it’s wine.”
“Humph, it’s clearly beast milk, but you’re still pretending it’s wine. You have no shame.” Ouyang Jinyue said proudly.
“It’s wine, who is pretending?“ Xiao Xiaofan said, dissatisfied.
“Miss Ouyang, what are you going to do in Star City?” Xiao Xiaodong revealed an innocent expression as he asked.
Seeing Xiao Xiaodong reveal an innocent and curious expression, Xiao Jingting couldn’t help rubbing his nose.
“I’m going to attend the selection.” Ouyang Jinyue said.
Xiao Xiaodong asked with some curiosity,”What kind of selection?”
Xiao Xiaodong beat around the bush and inquired about many questions. For example, in Star City, there were actually cultivators who came from Green Cloud Immortal Sect. The Barbarian Wasteland Continent could be said to be the territory of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect to a certain extent but the Green Cloud Immortal Sect did not care much about this place. They only secretly supported some forces to manage this continent.
The Marquis’ house was one of the forces supported by the Green Cloud Immortal Sect, the Sect would regularly come to the Barbarian Wasteland Continent to collect some disciples. In the past, they used to collect only those with good qualifications. However, over time, the Sect’s disciple quota had been divided among the major families, so people from the Sect were now directly selected from the major forces.
In the Barbarian Continent, there were countless youngsters, and picking talented disciples was not an easy task. The children of these big families were trained to extremely high levels since childhood, and their levels were indeed much higher than those of the common families, so the emissaries of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect naturally gave priority to choosing disciples from those big families.
Moreover, large families would give a great gift to the Green Cloud Immortal Sect emissaries regardless of whether their children were selected or not. However, those from poor families simply couldn’t afford to give such expensive gifts.
The Sect’s standards for accepting disciples were extremely high and there were quite a few big families in the Barbarian Continent, so the competition was very fierce.
