Today, Xiao Jingting and Xiao Qingyan&#8217;s sons fought with each other,\u201d Sun Miaoyin said.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cI heard about it.\u201d The four great families all had spies in each other&#8217;s houses; whenever something happened in one family, the other three knew immediately.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cThe most outstanding person in the Xiao family\u2019s second branch has always been Xiao Qingyan. But now, both Xiao Jingfeng and Xiao Jingting have reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. Xiao Qingyan is at a disadvantage both in cultivation and in age. If Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jingfeng have plans to join forces, Xiao Qingyan\u2019s position is on shaky ground!\u201d Zhou Kanghe smiled.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cThis time, after coming back, Xiao Jingting really seems to have turned over a new leaf,\u201d Sun Miaomiao said.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting used to listen to everything Miaomiao said. Now, from what she had heard, not only was he cold toward Miaomiao, there even seemed to be hatred.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cExactly. I never realized in the past that this Third Young Master Xiao was such a person. We really can\u2019t underestimate him in the future. Xiao Jingting helped Xiao Jingfeng when he was down and out. Xiao Jingfeng is a straightforward person and is now very close with Xiao Jingting.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">When Zhou Kanghe mentioned Xiao Jingfeng, Sun Miaoyin felt a bit complicated. Sun Miaoyin\u2019s engagement with Xiao Jingfeng had been arranged long ago, but as she grew up, she became very dissatisfied with the arrangement. Because of her own outstanding cultivation talent, the Sun family even regretted hastily setting up the betrothal back then.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">After Xiao Jingfeng\u2019s parents \u201cdied,\u201d the Sun family took the chance to break off the engagement.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">After the engagement was broken, Sun Miaoyin was relieved. She had thought that Xiao Jingfeng would be depressed for a while after losing her, but she soon heard that before the engagement was broken, Xiao Jingfeng had already gotten involved with someone named Mu Shuyu, and that Mu Shuyu already had Xiao Jingfeng\u2019s child at that time.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Knowing about Xiao Jingfeng and Mu Shuyu, Sun Miaomiao felt very uncomfortable.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">She had also heard that Mu Shuyu\u2019s abilities were good and her cultivation was the same as hers\u2014both at the fifth level of Qi Refining\u2014which made her feel even more uncomfortable.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u2026\u2026<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Early the next morning, Xiao Jingting\u2019s family left the house.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting invited Xiao Jingfeng and Mu Shuyu along. Although Xiao Jingfeng felt it wasn\u2019t quite right to go out for a stroll right after Xiao Xiaofan had smashed Xiao Yuerong, he could not resist the eager looks from Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong, so he agreed.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Xiaofan had never really gone out shopping before. When he saw the bustling streets, he was dazzled by all the strange and wonderful things, and Xiao Xiaodong curiously looked around everywhere.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">When Xiao Jingting came back to Mo City, he had already sold off his fields and houses in Tuqiu Village, and had kept some money left. His finances were generous, so he bought everything Xiao Xiaofan liked.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xu Muan watched Xiao Jingting spend money like water and said helplessly, \u201cDon\u2019t spoil him\u2014let him do whatever he wants, you\u2019ll get him used to it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting smiled and said, \u201cXiaofan is still young. This is the age for fun and play.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xu Muan smiled and didn\u2019t try to dissuade him further. Since Xiao Xiaofan was born, he had suffered a lot, and Xu Muan always felt guilty toward Xiao Xiaofan.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Xiaodong wore a sour face, dismissing the toys that Xiao Xiaofan picked, but deep down there was a hint of envy in his eyes.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Xiaodong and said, \u201cXiaodong, is there anything you want?\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Xiaodong put his hands behind his back, stood stiffly, and said proudly, \u201cI haven\u2019t played with toys in a long time.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Xiaofan looked at Xiao Xiaodong in surprise and said, \u201cBrother, did you use to have toys? Why didn\u2019t I know? You must have played with them in secret.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Xiaodong exploded and glared at Xiao Xiaofan. \u201cIdiot.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cBrother, don\u2019t call me names. I wasn\u2019t stupid, but you keep calling me stupid until I feel like one.\u201d Xiao Xiaofan said, feeling aggrieved.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Xiaodong: \u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">After getting up in the morning, Xiao Qingyan felt unwilling to accept things as they were. He wanted to go find Xiao Jingting to settle things, but heard that Xiao Jingting took his family out shopping, and almost fainted with anger.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u2026\u2026<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jingfeng found a restaurant and sat down.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Sitting in a restaurant in Mo City again felt unreal to Xiao Jingfeng, like a lifetime had passed.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Looking at the menu, Xiao Xiaofan ordered one dish after another.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting and said, \u201cYou ordered so much food, we can\u2019t finish it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting didn&#8217;t mind and said, \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter? It\u2019s not every day we get to indulge like this, and it\u2019s our son\u2019s first time here. He should eat his fill.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xu Muan smiled, \u201cAlright, then.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Mu Shuyu said casually, \u201cI haven\u2019t eaten at a big restaurant in a long time. Last time, it was after the mercenary team\u2026 we did a big job and celebrated.\u201d Mu Shuyu stopped in the middle of her sentence and looked apologetically at Xiao Jingfeng.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingfeng held Mu Shuyu\u2019s hand and said, \u201cYou\u2019ve gotten so thin. When the food comes, you have to eat more.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Mu Shuyu said helplessly, \u201cWhere am I thin? You\u2019re just talking nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Xiaofu in Mu Shuyu\u2019s arms yawned out of boredom.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">After ordering, Xiao Xiaofan excitedly looked around.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">The dishes were served quickly, and soon the table was full of all kinds of food.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Mu Shuyu picked up a spoon to feed Xiao Xiaofu some egg custard. Seeing Mu Shuyu busy with the child and unable to eat, Xiao Jingfeng picked up a dumpling and brought it to her mouth. \u201cTry this, the dumplings are very good.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Mu Shuyu\u2019s face turned red. She felt a bit embarrassed, but didn\u2019t refuse.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cMaster Zhou, Madam Zhou, please this way.\u201d The waiter led two guests upstairs.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting looked at the two newcomers, and a touch of interest flashed in his eyes. They were old acquaintances: Zhou Kanghe and Sun Miaoyin.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingfeng glanced indifferently at the two and, keeping his usual composure, picked up a bowl of sweet dumplings and offered it to Mu Shuyu. \u201cShuyu, these sweet dumplings taste good. Try one.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Mu Shuyu smiled awkwardly and swallowed one down.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Seeing the loving scene between Xiao Jingfeng and Mu Shuyu, Sun Miaoyin felt as if she had swallowed a fly.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Zhou Kanghe smiled at Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jingfeng and said, \u201cBoth of you, it\u2019s been a long time.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cIt has indeed, Young Master Zhou.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cXiao Jingfeng, is this your wife?\u201d Zhou Kanghe looked at Mu Shuyu sitting next to Xiao Jingfeng and asked.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingfeng nodded, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cAnd this is your son, right? He\u2019s really cute and already so big.\u201d Zhou Kanghe looked at the child in Mu Shuyu\u2019s arms.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cAlmost three months old.\u201d Knowing Zhou Kanghe was probing, Xiao Jingfeng answered openly.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cYou and your wife must have known each other for a while,\u201d Zhou Kanghe said.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingfeng nodded and gazed at Mu Shuyu affectionately. \u201cYes. We met in the mercenary team\u2014I saved her life, and she saved mine. We\u2019re what you\u2019d call a couple forged through hardship.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Sun Miaoyin\u2019s face turned red from being stumped. When Xiao Jingfeng\u2019s engagement was broken off, some people had felt sorry for him, thinking he had lost a beautiful fianc\u00e9e for a low-born dancer, and assumed he must be lonely and miserable.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Who could have guessed that, not even a year later, Xiao Jingfeng would return not only with a wife, but also a child.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Now some said Xiao Jingfeng was worthless, having an engagement with Miss Sun yet fooling around until he even had a child\u2014truly outrageous.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Those who delighted in the misfortune said that Sun Miaoyin was no great catch anyway, that Xiao Jingfeng didn\u2019t care for her, and that breaking off the engagement was exactly what he wanted. No matter how talented Lady Sun was, in Xiao Jingfeng\u2019s eyes, she couldn\u2019t compare to a &#8220;shuang\u2019er&#8221; (a man with a feminine appearance).<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cYoung Master Zhou, you brought your wife here for a meal? The food here is very good,\u201d Xiao Jingting said lazily.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Xiaofan looked at Xiao Jingting and said, \u201cDad, you finished all the sweet dumplings\u2014leave me a couple!\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting knocked Xiao Xiaofan on the head and said, \u201cDon\u2019t be picky, there\u2019s plenty of other food.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Xiaofan glared at his father in dissatisfaction, but in the end, he accepted the suggestion.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Zhou Kanghe said to Xiao Jingting, \u201cAs the saying goes, you have to treat someone with new eyes after just three days apart\u2014you really have changed a lot, Third Young Master Xiao. I didn\u2019t expect you to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining so quickly. At your age, your big brother was only at level four. With your talent, if you wanted to enter Bifeng Academy, I suppose you\u2019d have no trouble.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting smiled and said, \u201cI just had good luck. How can I compare with Young Master Zhou, who\u2019s solidly at level six Qi Refining? I\u2019m already past the age for Bifeng Academy, so I dare not dream of joining.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cThat\u2019s a pity. If you had taken the Bifeng Academy exam a few years earlier, you might be at level six now, with your talent getting nurtured there.\u201d Zhou Kanghe said.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting smiled, \u201cYou jest. If reaching level six Qi Refining were that easy, the streets would be filled with them.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">After exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Kanghe and Sun Miaoyin left. Xiao Jingting watched their retreating backs, a glint flickering in his eyes.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Sun Miaoyin turned back and looked at Xiao Jingfeng a couple more times.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Family.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cCousin Qingyan, you didn\u2019t go out today?\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Qingyan glanced at Xiao Muhong and asked, \u201cGo out? Where would I go?\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Muhong answered as if by chance, \u201cJingfeng and Jingting left early this morning to go shopping and didn\u2019t invite you? I thought, since they\u2019d both come back, the three of you brothers would get together and catch up.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Qingyan glanced coldly at Xiao Muhong and said, \u201cYou seem to know a lot about our family.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Muhong smiled, \u201cI just happened to see. How\u2019s Yuerong?\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cHe\u2019s fine now,\u201d Xiao Qingyan said.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Muhong seemed to let out a sigh of relief. \u201cThat\u2019s good. When are you going back to the Academy? When you leave, your wife and child will have a hard time at home, being outnumbered.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cThat\u2019s my business. Why do you care? You\u2019d better watch your wife\u2014I think she still has lingering feelings for my third brother. My third brother isn\u2019t what he used to be. I saw the two of them together in the corridor last night, alone in the dark, and who knows what they said.\u201d Xiao Qingyan said sarcastically.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Muhong\u2019s face instantly darkened. Xiao Qingyan sneered. Back when the news of his parents\u2019 deaths spread, Xiao Muhong had certainly worked against him\u2014now acting all brotherly was just disgusting. Xiao Qingyan turned and walked toward his own villa.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Qingyan took a deep breath. Of course he knew why Xiao Muhong said that: he was trying to instigate conflict between him and his two brothers. But even knowing it, Xiao Qingyan still couldn\u2019t help being angry. Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jingfeng had indeed joined forces now. The two of them simply didn\u2019t take their big brother seriously anymore.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Muhong looked at Xiao Qingyan\u2019s retreating back and couldn\u2019t help clenching his fists.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">After marrying him, Sun Miaomiao had become much more understanding, but deep down, Sun Miaomiao was still a strong-willed woman who admired the powerful.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting\u2019s transformation gave Sun Miaomiao quite a shock. Although she still acted as understanding as ever toward him, whenever Xiao Jingting was mentioned, she\u2019d always lose herself in thought.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Muhong thought to himself: Men and women are the same\u2014what they can\u2019t get is always the best.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: Tetsu<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Proofreader: Taalia<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zhou Family. \u201cIt\u2019s so late, why haven\u2019t you gone to bed yet?\u201d Zhou Kanghe walked into the room and casually asked Sun Miaoyin. \u201cMiaomiao sent me a message.
