A cultivator in the crowd looked at Xiao Jinting with a complicated expression.

“Senior Jian, I’m surprised that you came back. I thought that you would never come back for the rest of your life since you had such a good time on Zixuan Island,” one of the cultivators teased.

“Of course I have to come back. Having one more ancestor is a big event, which honors the whole sect. I come back to see if I could get some luck from it,” Jian Yi said with a smile.

“Senior Jian, if I remember correctly, Xiao Xiaofan, the son of Ancestor Xiao, was recruited by you.”

In the past, Jian Yi went to Barbarian Continent to recruit disciples and got generous rewards from the sect because he found Xiao Xiaofan, who was a single spiritual root. Thanks to Xiao Xiaofan, he was valued by the sect.

Jian Yi had thought of befriending Xiao Xiaofan, who might return his favor after making achievements.

However, he had to drop the idea because Bai Lizheng didn’t want Xiao Xiaofan to interact with anyone.

When Jian Yi found that Bai Lizheng wanted to seize Xiao Xiaofan’s body, he applied to work in a faraway place to save his own life and hadn’t come back to the sect for decades.

In the blink of an eye, decades had passed. Jian Yi looked at Xiao Jinting in the crowd, thoughts racing across his mind.

When he found that Xiao Xiaofan had special aptitude and tested his qualifications, he also conducted the aptitude tests on Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan. He found that both of them had mediocre aptitude. It had never occurred to him that Xiao Jinting, who he thought would never advance to Establishment Foundation, let alone Golden Core, would have become the ancestor of the sect.

“Senior Jian, look, that’s Elder Xiao Xiaodong, Ancestor Xiao’s eldest son. He’s awesome too.”

Jian Yi wore a queer look. He had met the elder brother of Xiao Xiaofan before.

Back then, Xiao Xiaodong was tested to be two spiritual roots and his aptitude was mediocre. Jian Yi had thought of taking Xiao Xiaodong to the sect, but he dropped the idea considering the troubles. To his surprise, Xiao Xiaodong not only married the grandson of Chen Lifeng, but also reached the advanced level of Golden Core. His cultivation speed was not lower than that of Xiao Xiaofan.

Xiao Xiaodong glanced at Jian Yi, who was frightened.

Chen Xu noticed the strange look on Xiao Xiaodong’s face and asked, “What’s wrong? You look strange.”

Xiao Xiaodong smiled and said casually, “I saw an acquaintance, and I suddenly feel that life is interesting.”

“Who is it?” Chen Xu asked.

“Many years ago, this man went to Barbarian Continent to recruit disciples. He found Xiaofan with his sharp eye and brought him into the sect,” Xiao Xiaodong said.

Xiao Xiaodong felt complicated towards Jian Yi, who separated the family in some sense. However, many people would give anything to enter Green Cloud Immortal Sect. From this perspective, Jian Yi had done them a favor.

“He recruited only your brother without taking you along?” Chen Xu asked.

Xiao Xiaodong nodded, “Yeah, he didn’t think my aptitude was good enough, so he didn’t choose me.”

“In this case, you shouldn’t say he has a sharp eye,” Chen Xu shook his head.

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Yeah, no one has a sharper eye than you.”

Chen Xu smiled disapprovingly.

Jian Yi watched Xiao Xiaodong and Chen Xu leave together, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He could not help but feel a sense of loss. During the years of his absence, Xiao Xiaodong had changed significantly.

“Senior Jian, was Elder Xiaodong looking at you just now?”

Jian Yi smiled awkwardly, “What are you talking about? Why did he look at me?”



“Xiaodong, why are you late?” asked Xiao Xiaofan.

“I met an acquaintance just now, and I got held up,” Xiao Xiaodong said.

Xiao Xiaofan was curious, “Acquaintance? Who is it?”

“Do you still remember the cultivator who recruited you into the Green Cloud Immortal Sect?” asked Xiao Xiaodong.

“That bastard!”

Chen Xu was confused. “Xiaofan, you have a deep grudge against this guy!”

Xiao Xiaofan snorted softly, “That guy is blind. He said that our parents as well as my brother had bad aptitude. How absurd.”

Chen Xu was speechless.

Xiao Xiaofan snorted. “That guy said that I would make great achievements after I entered Green Cloud Immortal Sect. In the end, my body was almost seized by the old man.”

Chen Xu paused in shock, looking at Xiao Xiaodong blankly.

Xiao Xiaodong nodded lightly and said, “He escaped.”

Xiao Xiaodong guessed that Jian Yi recruited Xiaofan without ulterior motives. Bai Lizheng was an accident.



In the spiritual herbs garden in the northern part of the sect.

Qiu Yun looked at Mu Yun and asked, “Why do you come out? The banquet shouldn’t be over yet.”

“People are chattering there. It’s no fun,” Mu Yun said lazily.

“You know how to relax yourself,” said Qiu Yun with a smile.

“Xiao Jinting seems to be impatient too. However, he is the man of the day, and he can’t escape,” Mu Yun gloated.

“I’ve long thought that Xiao Jinting would be somebody, but I didn’t expect him to be a Nascent Soul so soon.” Qiu Yun sighed in amazement. He couldn’t help but feel envious. He seemed to see Xiao Jinting running errands in the garden, but in the blink of an eye, he had become a dignified ancestor of the sect.

“I heard that Xiao Jinting took Spirit Cleansing Pill when he was in Heavenly Haze Secret Realm, so his aptitude was improved a lot,” Mu Yun said.
