Xiao Jingting thought: It is not easy to advance to Foundation Building! It took me three pills to advance to Foundation Building. The Marquis household has four Foundation Building cultivators but two of them are near death and the trouble will be great. The Marquis household’s state now should be very anxious.

“If we had another Foundation Establishment Pill, our family’s elder should be able to advance to Foundation Building. If Young Master Xiao still has a Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand, the Marquis household is willing to pay one thousand two hundred spirit stones to buy it,” Ouyang Mingyue said.

Xiao Jingting spread out his hands and said, “I apologize, Miss Ouyang. The price you offer is very tempting, but unfortunately I have refined a total of four Foundation Establishment Pills, and I used up three of them alone, so there are no more.”

Ouyang Mingyue seemed to have expected this, and was still a little disappointed at the words, but not too much. “Is that so? That’s a pity, if the Ouyang family had gathered the herbs, I wonder if I could ask Young Master Xiao to refine them for me.”

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “This is certainly possible. However, Miss Ouyang, let me say something first. The success rate of refining Foundation Establishment Pill is not high. It was a fluke that I was able to refine the pill last time. If the pill refining does not go well, I will not be responsible for it.”

Ouyang Mingyue nodded and said, “This, I understand.”

Xu Muan and Xiao Jingting walked out from Ouyang Mingyue’s courtyard.

“Actually, you have quite a few Foundation Establishment Pills in your hands. It’s not a big deal to sell one out,” Xu Muan said.

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “It’s indeed no big deal. However, who would have too much of something like a Foundation Establishment Pill? Things that are too easy to get hold of will not be cherished by people. The two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Marquis family should live for a few more years, so let’s wait for a while.”

Xu Muan thought about it and said, “That’s right.” If they promised too quickly, they wouldn’t be able to tell what Ouyang Mingyue could guess. That girl’s eyes were very sharp.

“We have so many spirit stones on hand, it’s enough for now,” Xiao Jingting said.

Xu Muan nodded and said, “That’s also right.”

After Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan left, Ouyang Mingyue couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time.

“Miss, are you alright?” The maid at the side asked Ouyang Mingyue.

Ouyang Mingyue shook her head and said, “I’m alright.” She was just a little saddened by the vagaries of the world. If, a few years ago, Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan stood in front of her, she probably wouldn’t have looked at them twice. But now, these two people became Foundation Building powerhouses that she could only look up to when she didn’t even know if she had a chance to advance to Foundation Building in this life.

……

“Jingting, you’re back.” Mu Shuyu said with some joy.

“Where is second brother?” Xiao Jingting asked.

“He went to cultivate. Recently, your second brother cares about nothing but cultivation all day. He is working hard.” Mu Shuyu said with a smile on his face.

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “That’s a good thing! Someone is here?”

“Zheng Pei’er has come and brought back your eldest brother’s two sons,” Mu Shuyu said.

Xiao Jingting, “…” Zheng Peier and Xiao Qingyan had split up several times. Xiao Jingting privately felt that the two of them were actually quite a good match, neither of them was a good thing.

“Is Zheng Pei’er gone?” Xiao Jingting asked.

Mu Shuyu shook his head and said, “No yet.”

Xiao Jingting rubbed his nose. It was hard even for an upright official to determine family affairs and it would be even harder for him. He should find a place to hide first!

“Xiaodong has been detained in the living room. He is now with eldest brother and sister-in-law.” Mu Shuyu showed some sympathy.

Xiao Jingting secretly said, “It’s okay.”

His son was domineering and cool so he should have no problem dealing with Zheng Pei’er. Xiao Xiaodong’s cultivation progressed rapidly and he was now at the fourth level of Qi Practice. Xiao Qingyan’s cultivation regressed, and Zheng Pei’er was just at the third level of Qi Practice, so it was possible that his son had the highest cultivation level in the living room!

Xiao Qingyan had always thought highly of himself, but now his cultivation level was lower than Xiao Jingting’s own son. He didn’t even know how Xiao Qingyan felt.

Xiao Jingting just wanted to retreat, but Zheng Pei’er had already come out. “Jingting, I’ve been waiting you for a long time.”

Xiao Jingting, “…”

Xiao Jingting was grabbed by Zheng Pei’er and entered the room. Xiao Xiaodong in the living room was feeding food to Xiao Xiaojin and Xiao Xiaofu in a serious manner.

Xiao Yuefeng and Xiao Yuerong stood on the sides without looking for trouble.

Seeing Xiao Jingting come in, Xiao Xiaodong raised his eyes slightly and quickly lowered them to mind his own business.

Xiao Jingting suddenly felt that his eldest son’s attitude of not being bothered by small things was a bit like that of an attained monk, and wondered if he should send his son to study Buddhism.

“Jingting! You are very promising now. I’m very happy for you.” Zheng Pei’er said as she dragged Xiao Jingting.

Xiao Jingting smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m flattered.” According to Xiao Jinfeng, Zheng Pei’er and Xiao Qingyan had quarreled again. Therefore, Xiao Jingting was not sure whether to call Zheng Pei’er sister-in-law or not, thus, he didn’t address her like that.

Zheng Pei’er took Xiao Jingting’s arm and spoke in a warm tone that made Xiao Jingting get goose bumps all over.

Zheng Pei’er’s mouth was full of praises but seeing that Xiao Jingting was not moved, she couldn’t help talking to him more and looking for an opportunity. Finally, Xiao Jingting took Xiao Xiaodong away, leaving Zheng Pei’er and Xiao Qingyan staring at each other in the room.

Under the persuasion of Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu, Xiao Jingting gave Xiao Qingyan some pills to treat his injuries, so Xiao Qingyan’s body has gradually recovered. However, Xiao Qingyan used pills indiscriminately and suffered injuries again. His potential was destroyed. Xiao Jingting also didn’t bother to worry too much about Xiao Qingyan, so his cultivation was limited.
