Xiao Xiaofan sat on the carriage and looked at the scene outside the carriage with curiosity “Father, where are we going?”

Xiao Jingting casually said, “The world is so big, we can go wherever we want.”

“Father, let’s go to the realm of Bifeng Academy.” Xiao Xiaofan suggested.

Xiao Jingting asked with some curiosity, “Why do you want to go to the realm of Bifeng Academy?”

“Because that fatty Xiao Yuerong always said how prosperous Bifeng Academy is and how many geniuses are over there and how noble the students of Bifeng academy are or how distinguished their status is. So let’s go to take a look.” Xiao Xiaofan said with dissatisfaction.

Xiao Jingting thought for a moment and said, “Fine!” He didn’t have any goals right now anyway, so it would be the same wherever he went.

To go to the Bifeng Academy, one had to pass through three towns. In each of them, Xiao Jingting sold some of the spirit grasses that grew in his space. Then he would take Xiao Xiaofan to the gambling ground for a tour around. Relying on Xiao Xiaofan’s magical abilities, Xiao Jingting obtained many precious jade stones and even gambled a few spirit stones.

With silver, Xiao Jingting would buy some precious pills from time to time.

As long as one was willing to spend silver, pills could still be bought. But for fear of being targeted, Xiao Jingting would only buy a small amount each time, so it could be used by the family.

With Xiao Jingting’s cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Practice, it wasn’t difficult for him to protect himself if he didn’t go to dangerous places.

“Are you alright?” Xiao Jingting asked Xu Muan.

Letting Xu Muan, his pregnant husband, accompany him around, Xiao Jingting was somewhat apologetic.

Xu Muan laughed, shook his head and said, “It’s fine, you really don’t need to worry. I could even accompany you to fight the demon beasts right now, and it would be fine.”

Xiao Jingting, “…”

“It shouldn’t be long before we reach the next town,” Xu Muan asked.

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes!”

“Daddy, it’s so stupid to take such a long detour.” Xiao Xiaofan.

Xiao Jingting’s face turned black, this naive child talked nothing but nonsense. “What do you know! Dad’s main purpose is to show you more of different towns’ scenery.”

Xiao Xiaofan tilted his head and said, “Is that so?”

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes!”

Xiao Xiaofan said thoughtfully, “Dad, you said three days ago that we would arrive at Bifeng city in three days but today, you said we would arrive at Bifeng City in three days. Dad, you are not good at counting.”

Xiao Jingting, “…”

“What do you know?! Dad said three days, but it was not an accurate number, equivalent to a few days. So three days isn’t three days, it’s a few days, okay?” Xiao Jingting solemnly said.

Xiao Xiaofan looked at Xiao Jingting, puffed his cheek and said, “Dad, don’t lie to me just because you think I’m stupid!”

Xiao Jingting, “…” His little son was getting harder to fool.

Xiao Jingting took a deep breath and resorted to his final weapon, saying “Dad has steamed buns here. Do you want to eat it?”

Xiao Xiaofan quickly nodded and said, “Yes, want it.”

Xiao Xiaofan got the steamed bun and retreated back into the carriage to nibble on it, not saying anything more. Xiao Jingting couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Xu Muan couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at Xiao Jingting.

…………

After four more days, they finally arrived at the boundary of Bifeng City.

Xiao Xiaofan hopped off the carriage and said, “Father, shall we go to the stone shops in the city now and buy stones?” Xiao Xiaofan’s greatest interest right now was visiting stone gambling shops and buying stones.

Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “First we need to find a place to settle down, then we will go to stone gambling shops.”

Xiao Xiaofan nodded and said, “Alright.”

Xiao Jingting rubbed Xiao Xiaofan’s head. Xiao Xiaofan had already advanced to the second level of Qi Practice. When he first came here, this child could not cultivate but now, he was already at the second level of Qi Practice. Xiaofan was also very sensitive to aura. Xiao Jingting somewhat even suspected that his son had one of the legendary special constitution and real winner in life.

Xu Muan stepped out of the carriage and walked towards the inn with Xiao Jingting.

“Xu Muan.” A voice full of disbelief sounded.

Xu Muan looked toward the place where the voice originated. The one who called him was his childhood neighbor, called Zhang Lingyu.

Zhang Lingyu was good-looking and talented, so young men in the neighborhood liked to revolve around her. For some reason, Zhang Lingyu was at odds with him and always led people against him. Because of Zhang Lingyu, Xu Muan had been isolated since he was a child.

Zhang Lingyu grew into a big beauty, so when her father took her to another town, a young master in that town fell for her and married her later. After Zhang Lingyu left Desert City, Xu Muan never saw Zhang Lingyu again.

Zhang Ling Yu looked at Xu Muan and exclaimed, “Xu Muan, you eloped with someone!”

Xu Muan couldn’t help feeling embarrassed.

Zhang Lingyu looked at Xu Muan’s round belly and shrieked again, “Xu Muan, not only did you elope with someone, you even have the child of an adulterer.” There were many people at the entrance of the inn so when they heard Zhang Lingyu’s screams, many of them fixed their eyes on Xu Muan. Xu Muan’s face filled with anger.

Xiao Jingting looked at Zhang Lingyu and warned her in a serious tone. “This lady should be careful with what she says. Xu Muan has always been my wife, so how could he elope with me?” Xiao Jingting brought out some pressure as he spoke, forcing Zhang Lingyu back a few steps.

Zhang Lingyu looked at Xiao Jingting, her face filled with astonishment. “You, you are the third young master of Xiao family.”

Zhang Lingyu already knew about Xu Muan’s marriage to Xiao Jingting, but as far as Zhang Lingyu knew, Xiao Jingting didn’t like Xu Muan very much or took him seriously, often going out to fool around.

Although Xiao Jingting was a young master of the Xiao family, he did not like to cultivate, so his accomplishments were limited. Zhang Lingyu left Desert City a few years ago and had no idea of changes in Desert City in these years and was completely unaware of Xiao Jingting’s affairs.

Although Xiao Jingting’s appearance did not change much, his temperament changed a lot. Zhang Lingyu did not recognize him at first. She thought that Xu Muan couldn’t stand Xiao Jingting anymore and eloped with others.

Zhang Lingyu looked at Xu Muan, smiled and said, “Xu Muan, you scared me to death. I heard that the relationship between you and young master Xiao is not very good. I thought you… did something stupid.”

Xu Muan pulled a long face and did not speak.
