Chapter 395: 395
At the Xu house.
Xu Chang looked at the invitation card and sighed helplessly.
The Xiao family had been thriving these years. Now, Xiao Jinting had become a Nascent Soul. Logically speaking, the Xu family could take advantage of this and revive. However, there had been bad feeling between the two families, and Xiao Xiaofu held grudges against them.
Other families were aware of what had happened.
They didn’t dare to befriend the Xu family before the Xiao family made any moves. However, no families would pick on the Xu Family for no reason because of Xu Kai, who used to be a member of the family. Therefore, the Xu family managed to survive.
The tension between the Xu family and Xiao Xiaofu had been eased, but Xu Chang was not satisfied.
“Grandfather, Senior Xiao has advanced to Nascent Soul. Are we going to the banquet?”
Xu Chang nodded and said, “Of course, we are going.” The Green Cloud Immortal Sect had sent him the invitation card. How could they not go?
Xiao Jinting had become a Nascent Soul, and Chen Lifeng was at the advanced level of Nascent Soul. It would be easy for Xiao Jinting to snatch the position of the sect head.
Xu Chang frowned. He was worried. Xiao Jinting’s advancement to Nascent Soul was a big event, and he had to prepare a precious gift. He wondered what would interest Xiao Jinting, who had so many treasures in his possession.
…
At the Lei house.
Lei Dong looked at Lei Xuan and said with a strange expression, “It’s awesome of your father-in-law to advance to Nascent Soul so soon.”
His heart was in a whirl. The Lei Family had a long history, and he had been eager to have a Nascent Soul in his family. To his surprise, Lei Xuan’s father-in-law advanced to Nascent Soul earlier.
“He is powerful, but I am going to be a Nascent soon,” Lei Xuan said.
Lei Dong gave him an impatient look. “Stop bragging. You have just reached the advanced level of Golden Core. Don’t fool me.”
Lei Xuan glared back and said sulkily, “Father, how can you underestimate your son?”
“I’m not underestimating you. I’m speaking the truth. Don’t turn a deaf ear to me just because you have a higher cultivation. There is a chance of you advancing to Nascent Soul in a hundred years.”
“Hello, Grandfather. Hello, Father.” A handsome young man entered the room.
He was the son of Xiao Xiaofan and Lei Xuan, Lei Tianyi. He was at the preliminary level of Golden Core.
“Tianyi, I’m glad that you’ve come.” Lei Dong said in excitement. Lei Tianyi asked, “Grandfather, how are you doing these days?”
“I’m fine. I feel better when I see you.” Lei Dong glanced at Lei Xuan. Over the years, the Lei family had revived with the pills given by Xiao Xiaofan and Lei Xuan. Apart from Lei Tianyi, there were two more Golden Cores.
“Have you completed your mission?” Lei Xuan asked.
Lei Tian nodded and said, “Yes.”
“Don’t go out alone recently. It’s very dangerous,” Lei Xuan warned.
“I’m working with my cousin Ziyu,” Lei Tianyi said.
“Your cultivation is at the same level. If you encounter any danger, you can’t save each other,” Lei Xuan said.
Lei Tianyi said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter. I have random teleportation talismans rune. If I encounter danger, I can use them to escape.”
Lei Xuan rolled his eyes and said, “Even so, you have to be careful.”

Lei Tianyi nodded and said, “I know, Father. Grandfather Xiao has advanced to Nascent Soul, and he will receive tons of gifts. I wonder how much they worth.”
Lei Xuan knocked on Lei Tianyi’s head. ‘Little bastard, keep it to the family. Why do you have to speak out?”
…
Hundreds of cultivators were busy decorating the venue on the mountain of Green Cloud Immortal Sect.
Red satin streamers gave a festive touch to the whole mountain.
Tables carved with dragons and phoenixes were placed in the hall.
Cultivators holding various rare spiritual fruits and spiritual wine scurried around.
“Senior Ouyang, what are you looking at?” A female cultivator in yellow asked as she walked beside Ouyang Jinyue.
Ouyang Jinyue smiled and said, “Nothing. I’m just looking around.”
“Ancestor Xiao is awesome. I heard that he advanced to Nascent Soul before the age of one hundred,” the woman in yellow said with envy and admiration.
Ouyang Jinyue nodded, “Yeah!”
She recalled the time when she was travelling with the Xiao family. Back then, she was the dignified young lady of the Ouyang family, and the Xiao family was a group of free-lance cultivators. Her wet nurse despised them, thinking they tried to play up to the Ouyang family.
In the blink of an eye, many years had passed. The ordinary man had made it to the peak of the sect, while she was an insignificant Establishment Foundation cultivator. The Xiao family helped her a lot with her cultivation.
Things had changed significantly.
“Senior Ouyang, I heard that you and the Xiao brothers have a deep friendship!” A female cultivator in yellow said.
Ouyang Jinyue nodded, “You are exaggerating. We are only acquaintances.”
Their connection back then was nothing. The Xiao family had disappeared for more than twenty years, and they hadn’t got in touch since then, so the friendship was worn out.
The woman in yellow said with bright eyes, “Senior Sister Ouyang, I heard that you’ve known Ancestor Xiao long ago. He must have been a genius since he was young.”
Ouyang Jinyue smiled bitterly. The female cultivator in yellow was a newcomer in the sect, and she didn’t know much about Xiao Jinting’s past. From the powerful look of Xiao Jinting, anyone would think he should have been like this all along.
