Five years later, a palace carriage pulled over at the gate of the mansion. Xiao Jinting and his subordinates went to greet Zi Yu.

A beautiful and aloof female cultivator in purple entered the mansion.

“Miss Zi, why do you come?” Xiao Jinting looked at Zi Yu and wondered why she came. It was not time to turn in the turnips. It was too early for her to kill him.

Zi Yu said with a smile, “You’ve done a good job on the mansion.”

Xiao Jinting gave an awkward smile. “Miss Zi, you’ve flattered me.”

Zi Yu turned the ring on her finger and looked closely at Xiao Jinting. “I heard that someone was selling purple turnips, so I made an inquiry. It turns out you are the seller.”

Xiao Jinting blushed. “Miss Zi, I’ve prepared all the turnips that you need, and they are in the warehouse.”

Zi Yu looked at him and asked, “Are there one hundred purple turnips?”

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yes.”

Zi Yu sneered. “One hundred is the requirement for others. For a talent like you, I ask for more.”

Xiao Jinting was speechless. How absurd! Did he have to turn in more turnips because he was competent?

Zi Yu noticed that he was upset, so she said, “Don’t worry. I’ll pay you for the extra turnips. You won’t work for nothing.”

“Miss Zi, you are joking. You own the spiritual fields. If you hadn’t hired me, I would have had a wretched life somewhere.” There were different forces in the Immortal World, and there were clashes all the time. The position of the steward of the mansion made it convenient for him to do the things.

Zi Yu suddenly asked, “I heard that you are looking for a cultivator named Xu Muan?”

Taken aback, Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yes. Do you have the news about him?”

Zi Yu said, “I do know someone named Xu Muan, but I’m not sure if he is the one you are looking for.”

Xiao Jinting said with excitement, “What does he like?”

“The cultivator that I know has just ascended from the Spiritual World. Tens of thousands of years ago, a weapon refining master from the Xu family ascended to the Immortal World and made his fame here. He is an Immortal King. As the descendant of the Immortal King, Xu Muan was taken to his house.”

Xiao Jinting said excitedly, “Was he taken back to his house right after he ascended?”

“No. After he arrived, he was recruited to the Blood Fire Mine. After a year, he didn’t die or get injured. Instead, his strength improved a lot, which attract the attention of the mine owner. Later, the Xu family found him.”

Xiao Jinting’s face darkened. Most of the newcomers led a poor life, and he was lucky to take up the job of gardening.

Blood Fire ore was precious, but it was erosive before it was refined. The mining and refining hurt the health of the cultivator, and many cultivators died after they worked in the mine for some time.

Xiao Jinting asked, “How is he doing?”

Zi Yu said, “He’s fine. He has a born Fire Yang Physique, so he was not poisoned by the ore. What is the relationship between you two?”

Xiao Jinting said, “He’s my spouse.”

Zi Yu looked at him with sympathy. “I guess so. But I advise you not to tell anyone about this, lest you will get into trouble.”

Xiao Jinting looked at her in confusion. “Miss Zi, what do you mean?”

Zi Yu said, “Your spouse has a special physique, and the ancestor of the Xu family wants him to marry Xu Han, a third-grade weapon refining specialist.”

Xiao Jinting said in anger, “How can he do that?” Xu Muan was his spouse. What was Xu Han?”

“You are in the Immortal World, where separation is common. Don’t cross the line. Your spouse didn’t get in touch with you because he likes Xu Han and doesn’t want to have anything to do with you.”

“Or because he doesn’t want to involve you in the strife of the Xu family. After all, the ancestor of the Xu family is determined to match Xu Muan with Xu Han. He might kill you if you get in the way.”

Xiao Jinting fell silent.

Zi Yu looked at Xiao Jinting and paused for a while before she continued, “In both scenarios, I think you should stay in the mansion and work as usual.”

Xiao Jinting frowned without saying anything.

Zi Yu smiled and said, “I don’t want to hurt you, but I think Xu Muan has changed his mind. The Immortal World is different from the place you come from. You might be well respected in your hometown, but you are a poor, friendless man here. Xu Han is a third-grade refining specialist, and you are much inferior to him.”

Xiao Jinting was lost for words.

After Zi Yu tried to dishearten Xiao Jinting, she left.
