“Muan, why did you come here? You are already so old. It is too late for you to participate in Bifeng Academy’s selection.” Zhang Lingyu pretended to sigh with regret.
Xu Muan smiled nonchalantly and said, “Madam must be joking. I just heard that Bifeng City is relatively prosperous, so I came here to take a look. But how come you are here, madam?”
“Bifeng city is going to hold an auction soon, so I accompanied my husband to attend the auction,” Zhang Lingyu held her head high with pride.
“An auction?” Xu Muan couldn’t help but get a little interested.
Zhang Lingyu nodded and said, “Yes! Didn’t you know? At the annual auction of Bifeng City, many treasures will appear. It is also said that more than one Foundation Building expert will come.”
Xu Muan eyes couldn’t help but reveal a bit of yearning.
“Let’s go and take a look as well.” Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes!” Such a good opportunity, of course it could not be given up easily.
Zhang Lingyu sighed lightly and said, “Although the auction is good, it is not easy to enter. The auction has a high standard and in order to participate in the auction, one must apply for a card in advance at the merchant house that is holding the auction. Then, deposit 100,000 silvers in advance to enter. My husband has a card but one card can only allow the entry of two people.
Xiao Jingting glanced at Zhang Lingyu and said, “Oh.”
Zhang Lingyu looked at Xiao Jingting’s bland face and thought: This Xiao Jingting is really good at puffing himself up at his own cost.
In Zhang Lingyu’s opinion, Xiao Jingting might have a bit of silver, but it was unlikely that he could take out 100,000 taels at once. After marrying Ji Mu, Zhang Lingyu felt that she had broadened her horizons a lot and thought that the four big families of Desert City were nothing.
The Mu family of Fan City had a Foundation Building Ancestor, and there were also four ninth level Qi Practitioners in the family.
The Xiao family of Desert City would become a small family if it moved to a prosperous city where the Ji family was.
“Brother Xiao, you’re here too!” A man in green came out with surprise on his face.
Hearing Ji Mu calling Xiao Jingting brother, Zhang Lingyu couldn’t help but be filled with surprise. Zhang Lingyu thought: My husband is at the fifth level of Qi Practice! My husband called Xiao Jingting brother, does it mean Xiao Jingting’s cultivation is above Ji Mu’s?
“You are?” Xiao Jingting was a bit confused.
“Brother Xiao doesn’t know me but I also took part in Marquis’ competition. I only gained very little, not comparable to Brother Xiao’s seventh level of Qi Practice, who was among the top ten in the competition and also won Ice Heart Pill.”
Zhang Lingyu was wide-eyed and full of amazement as she listened. Xiao Jingting was actually among the top ten in the competition! How was that possible? Although she did not know much about Desert City after she left, as far as she knew, Xiao Jingting was just a dud who didn’t learn anything!
There were many geniuses who participated in the Marquis’ competition, but Xiao Jingting not only participated but also achieved the top ten ranking?! Xiao Jingting was actually at the seventh level of Qi Practice?! When did such a small town as Desert City produce such a young level seven Qi Practice cultivator? Could it be that Xiao Jingting in the past played weak and bided his time so as to achieve something bigger?
“Brother Xiao, do you still have that Ice Heart Pill? The market price of Ice Heart Pill is now three hundred thousand taels and I am willing to pay 350,000 taels to buy it.” Ji Mu said.
Xiao Jingting thought: The children of big families are really rich and generous! The first time he opens his mouth, it is already several hundred thousands taels. However, Xiao Jingting guessed that Ji Mu would not have so much money in his hands. If he says that he is willing to sell the Ice Heart Pill, Ji Mu would turn to his family’s elders for help.
“Sorry, it has been turned over to the family and used,” Xiao Jingting said.
Ji Mu sighed with regret and said, “Really? That’s a shame.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes.”
The Ice Heart Pill, which was used to advance in cultivation, always had a price but no market. When big families got this kind of pill, they took it for their own family. It would be hard to buy this pill even if it was sold. The one in Xiao Jingting’s hand was reserved for Xu Muan. He didn’t even give it to Xiao Qingyan, so it was naturally impossible to sell it.
Xiao Jingting rented a separate courtyard and moved in with Xu Muan.
“That woman at the door doesn’t seem to have a good relationship with you,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “A little bit, she was my former neighbor, and for some reason, she always looked down at me.”
“That husband of hers, should be from some big city.” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “I heard Zhang Lingyu’s father brag that Zhang Lingyu married into a big family with a Foundation Building cultivator in charge of it. Not long after Zhang Lingyu married, her family moved.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “So that’s how it is!”
…………
Zhang Lingyu followed Ji Mu into a separate courtyard they had rented in advance.
“You know Xiao Jingting?” Ji Mu asked.
Zhang Lingyu was a little nervous. “I am not very familiar with him, but Xiao Jingting’s wife used to be my neighbor.”
Facing Ji Mu, Zhang Lingyu couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. All the children of the Ji family would choose a wife from the right family to become the main wife, so Zhang Lingyu was only Ji Mu’s concubine. However, Father Zhang only told people that Zhang Lingyu had married into the large family as a wife.
“That Ger was your neighbor. His cultivation talent should be very high,” Ji Mu said.
Hearing Ji Mu’s words, Zhang Lingyu couldn’t help being a little surprised. “Xu Muan might be a bit talented but his attributes are not good. He was not valued at home and his previous cultivation wasn’t very good either.”
“Oh, but he is now at the sixth level of Qi Practice.”
“What?” It was hard for Zhang Lingyu not to scream. “How is that possible?” Xu Muan’s cultivation was actually above that of her own husband.
Ji Mu thought about it and said, “They should have had some mysterious encounter. Looking at Xiao Jingting’s considerate appearance, that neighbor of yours should have received a lot of benefits from him. Xiao Jingting is also really strange to be so considerate to a Ger.”
“Earlier, I heard that Xiao Jingting doesn’t like Xu Muan very much. But now, I don’t know what is going on.” Zhang Lingyu said. From what her father said, Xiao Jingting was forced into marriage with Xu Muan by Xiao Jingting’s great aunt. Xiao Jingting preferred women and was very opposed to this marriage. Such a tough Ger, how could he be a woman?!
“In any case, with many friends, there are multiple paths. Xiao Jingting has advanced to the seventh level of Qi Practice so early, it would be beneficial to make friends with him.” The Ji family was a business family, and Ji Mu’s cultivation talent was not very good, so he already turned to take over some family businesses and helped make money.
