“Third brother, what are you cooking?” Xiao Jinfeng asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “I’m making dumplings.” Xiao Jingting worked hard kneading the dough, his eyes shining.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jinfeng was filled with curiosity. “Dumplings, huh?”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jingting nodded and said “Yes!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n “What is that?” Xiao Jinfeng asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “It’s a kind of food, which I saw in ancient books.” Xiao Jingting answered simply.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Xiaofan rushed to Xiao Jingting’s side, standing on tiptoes to look at the kitchen table, his eyes full of desire.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jingting found that the people in this world paid more attention to cultivation. Even for food in the restaurants, more attention was paid to the preservation of aura but not to the taste of food. Xiao Jingting was a foodie in his previous life, so this point was very much of an oversight for him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cMuan’s appetite is not good recently, so I’m going to make him some delicious food.” Xiao Jingting kneaded and rolled the dough.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jingting licked his lips and thought in his heart: <\/span>In this world, there were no dumplings. Most dishes were barbecued meat. Although in this world, some people’s barbecue skills were at the peak, but if you eat too much, you will grow tired of it. He has been in this world for so long but he has never eaten dumplings.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jinfeng touched his nose. Looking at Xiao Jingting’s appearance of 24 filial piety husband, he became deeply concerned about his previous negligence. Compared with his younger brother, he didn’t seem to be a good husband.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Father, are you making it especially for daddy? But you always eat more than daddy!\u201d Xiao Xiaofan tilted his head.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jingting “…… ” This child was still talking nonsense.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jingting glanced at Xiao Xiaofan and said angrily “That’s because your daddy can\u2019t eat much and we can\u2019t waste it. Besides, you don’t eat less!”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Xiaofan smiled apologetically and scratched his head “I do a lot of physical work every day. I’m hungry!”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jingting “…… ” Well, he had already employed child labor so he couldn’t keep them from being fed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Did anything happen in the shop today?” Xiao Jingting asked casually.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Yes! Yes!” Xiao Xiaofan said excitedly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Huh? What is it?” Xiao Jingting asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “The second uncle went to recruit people, but he didn’t find anyone. He was too picky.” Xiao Xiaofan said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jingting “…… ” Xiao Jinfeng was still standing here but this kid was still talking nonsense.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “What else?” Xiao Jingting asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cSomeone else came and said that uncle was sick.\u201d Xiao Xiaofan said happily.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jingting “…” Is Xiao Qingyan sick?<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Jinfeng and asked “What’s going on?”<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Today, Zhou Kangqi came looking for trouble, saying that Xiao Qingyan was able to advance to the sixth level of Qi practice because he took the Spirit Breaking Pill.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Uncle is taking drugs, he is so stupid. Even I know that it\u2019s not good to take drugs, but he still took them.\u201d Xiao Xiaofan was disgusted.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jingting “…… ” Taking pills doesn’t count as being high on drugs!<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Is it bad to take pills this early?\u201d Xiao Jingting asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said “It’s not good. It will affect his cultivation in future. But pills are really good things. In fact, if you have enough pills to support you, there is nothing wrong with taking more of them.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n “It is said that in some more advanced places, some cultivators with aptitudes start taking pills from the first and second levels of Qi Practice until they build foundation. However, the pills in our realm are very rare, and after using pills to breakthrough the beginning, they will need to use higher grade pills next time, making their future cultivation growth very difficult.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jingting thought about it and said “Father and mother shouldn\u2019t know about it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jinfeng nodded “It should be, but what Zhou Kangqi said may not be true.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Xiaofan jumped up and down “Father, when can we eat?!”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Xiaofan and thought to himself: <\/span>Xiaofan is so single minded that he didn\u2019t even linger on anything. He just knows how to eat, even if the sky falls, this guy will probably just exclaim that there’s nothing left to eat.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jinfeng looked at Xiao Xiaofan and said comfortingly “It will be ready in a while, you can eat it later.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Xiaofan said excitedly “Really? That’s great.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jingting “……”<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Second brother, I’ve made quite a few. Please ask second sister-in-law to come eat with us.” Xiao Jingting said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Jinfeng was already a little moved. So when he heard Xiao Jingting’s words, he immediately agreed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n When Mu Shuyu came over, the dumplings were already on the table.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Xiaofan held the bowl of rice and bit into the dumplings with relish.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xu Muan ate the dumplings and his eyes flashed with surprise.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Xiaodong ate quite elegantly, but his speed may have been faster than Xiao Xiaofan’s.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Probably discovering that Xiao Xiaodong was eating his second bowl, Xiao Xiaofan ate with hurry making the soup spill onto his face from time to time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Jingting, you are amazing!” This younger brother of his really knew his way in the kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n On Xiao Jingting’s side, his family was eating dumplings with great relish, but the Xiao family had already blown up.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n The big house of the Xiao family.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Did Xiao Qingyan advance by taking pills?\u201d Xiao Muhong asked Sun Miaomiao.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Sun Miaomiao nodded and said \u201cYes!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Muhong said viciously “I was thinking why he suddenly advanced, so that’s how it is.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Muhong secretly thought: <\/span>It would be hilarious if Xiao Qingyan stalled at the sixth level of Qi Practice. All this time, Xiao Qingyan behaved like a superior person, but what of it? He was only prompted up by pills, so what’s the big deal?\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n “He should have done this without telling Xiao Linfeng.” If Xiao Linfeng knew, he would definitely stop him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Muhong nodded and said “After taking all these pills, he can\u2019t even vomit them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Sun Miaomiao narrowed her eyes and thought: <\/span>Due to Xiao Qingyan advancing to the sixth level, Zheng Pei’er had been acting arrogant for a while and she always had something to say when she met her. If this woman knew that Xiao Qingyan’s cultivation was promoted by pills, her expression would be very interesting. Recently, everything was making her angry so now there was finally something that would make her feel more comfortable.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n “Xiao Qingyan should have felt that he was pushed into a corner by Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng before he made such a choice.” Xiao Muhong said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Sun Miaomiao nodded and said “I think so.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Should we tell this news to Xiao Linfeng?” Xiao Muhong asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n After Xiao Qingyan had advanced to the sixth level of Qi Practice, Xiao Linfeng was eager to tell the world about it. If he knew that Xiao Qingyan had relied on pills to advance, he would be very disappointed. But in this way it might be giving Xiao Jingting a chance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Sun Miaomiao curled her lips and said “I’m afraid that even without us telling them, the matter has already reached their ears.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Muhong thought:<\/span> Yes! Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu would have a better information network than them.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Xiao Linfeng’s study.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Qingyan, did you advance by taking pills?\u201d Xiao Linfeng looked at Xiao Qingyan with an unkind expression.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Qingyan sullenly said “Father, who told you that? It must have been second or third brother!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Linfeng looked at Xiao Qingyan’s defiant expression and said angrily “Why do you care so much about who told me? I just asked if you took them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Qingyan nodded and said “Yes, father, in fact it\u2019s nothing to advance by taking pills. Anyway, it is still advancement. What’s the point of calculating so much, this pill is not something that everyone can buy. Only students of the academy can buy this pill once.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Linfeng didn’t have a good temper “Your mother and I have put so much effort in you, but you don’t have any self love at all.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Father, didn’t I just take one pill? What’s the big deal?! Father, why did you even involve the lack of self-love?” Xiao Qingyan was somewhat aggrieved.<\/span><\/p>\r\n With a dark face, Xiao Linfeng said “You still don’t know how to repent. What kind of pill did you take?! Spirit Breaking Pill! How could you take it at the fifth level of Qi Practice? If you wanted to take it, you should have waited and used it at the sixth level of Qi Practice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Qingyan narrowed his eyes and said “That\u2019s not much difference, just one level.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cIf it\u2019s not much difference why did you act so carelessly?” Xiao Linfeng scolded.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Qingyan grimaced and said “Father, do you think I am useless and regret that you focused on cultivating me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n “You bastard, get out of here.” Xiao Linfeng scolded angrily.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Qingyan stepped out with a straight face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n Wang Lu looked at the angry Xiao Linfeng and exhaled, not sure what to say.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “This bastard! Even at a time like this, he still has such an attitude.” Xiao Linfeng gritted his teeth.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Wang Lu looked at Xiao Linfeng and said “Alright, calm down, things are already like this. It’s useless for you to be angry. Even if the eldest is really unbearable, it will be the same as supporting the third. Even if the eldest took Spirit Breaking Pill, he should have no problem advancing to the seventh level of Qi Practice. His strength would be enough to be an elder in the family.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Wang Lu sighed lightly. Xiao Qingyan had always been her most beloved child. So even at this time, Wang Lu hesitated to give up on him. However, compared with her beloved child, Wang Lu cared more about the future development of her family.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Linfeng said with a sullen face “I originally prepared him to be able to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Practice, but since this the case, let him be.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n \u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Zheng Pei’er was waiting outside. \u201cHow are you doing?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Qingyan shook his head and said “Nothing, but my father might have heard some gossip, so he lost his temper at me. It must be second brother and third brother who said something to my parents.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Qingyan clenched his fist. After returning to the academy, he cultivated very hard for a period of time but found that the results were minimal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Qingyan’s mood was already bad, and at this time, there were people who kept whispering in his ears that his two younger brothers were great and didn\u2019t even rely on the family. They were at the fifth level of Qi practice and earned a fortune by themselves.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Unlike them, their father and mother had put most of their efforts on him, but he, Xiao Qingyan was only at fifth level of Qi Practice. If his parents focused on cultivating his two younger brothers, they might have been already at sixth level of Qi Practice.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Qingyan was very upset when he heard it. In a fit of anger, he bought pills from the academy and took them, advancing to sixth level of Qi practice.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Zheng Pei\u2019er said hesitantly “You really took the pill?”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Looking at Zheng Peier’s nervous look, Xiao Qingyan said with dissatisfaction “Yes! Took it, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Zheng Pei’er shook her head and said “It’s nothing.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Qingyan snorted and said “It must be Xiao Jingting or Xiao Jinfeng who said it to father.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Qingyan, I heard that if you take this pill too early, your future cultivation will be very difficult.” Zheng Pei’er was a little hesitant.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Qingyan waved his hand and said with carelessness “It doesn’t matter, those are just sensational claims. In fact, it has little influence.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Zheng Pei’er was a little apprehensive, but she still maintained a smile on her face as she said “Oh, it’s good that it doesn’t have much impact then.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Qingyan said angrily “I’m bored to death. I’m leaving first.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Zheng Pei’er looked at Xiao Qingyan’s departing back and closed her eyes. How did she end with such an idiot? She was afraid Xiao Linfeng was already mad.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Xiao Yuerong ran out, seeing Zheng Peier’s ugly face he said “Mother, are you alright?”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Zheng Pei’er shook her head and said “It\u2019s alright.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Mother, the little fool said that at home uncle always makes him delicious food.\u201d Xiao Yuerong was jealous.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Zheng Pei’er didn’t have a good temper “Eat! Eat! You just know how to eat! “<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Yuerong’s mouth flattened as he pouted. \u201cBut mother, you used to say that the little fool is an idiot and doesn’t even deserve to carry my shoes. But he eats better than me, wears better clothes and has more pocket money than me.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n Zheng Pei’er felt somewhat guilty by Xiao Yorong’s words. Indeed, this little fool was living a better life than her own son.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Brother, you should say less.” Xiao Yuefeng said coldly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Xiao Yuerong glanced at Xiao Yuefeng and closed his mouth. Xiao Yuerong might be a bully of the Xiao family, but he was still afraid of his own brother.<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Mother, grandfather and grandmother don’t look good. Father was called over by them, did he do something bad?\u201d Xiao Yuefeng asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Zheng Pei’er shook her head and said “No.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n “However, I heard my cousin say that my father used an inappropriate method to advance to the sixth level of Qi Practice and limited his future potential. It might be very difficult for him to advance to seventh level of Qi practice and I’m afraid that grandpa and grandma will change their mind and focus to cultivate third uncle in the future.” Xiao Yuefeng said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Zheng Pei’er looked at Xiao Yuefeng and said “Where did you hear that?”<\/span><\/p>\r\n “Several cousins said so.” Xiao Yuefeng said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Zheng Pei\u2019er face darkened as she thought: <\/span>The news spread so fast that even children at home knew it. Moreover, everyone now thought Xiao Qingyan was no good.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n “Mother, what those cousins \u200b\u200bsaid is not true, right?\u201d Xiao Yuefeng asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Zheng Pei’er gritted her teeth. There weren’t many people who had taken such a precious Spirit Breaking Pill, and it was really hard to say how effective this thing was.<\/span><\/p>\r\n The matter now depended on what father and mother did. They had originally treated Xiao Jinfeng and Xiao Jingting differently. But now that this happened, parents might be even more dissatisfied with Xiao Qingyan.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Edited by: Tetsu<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Proofreader: Taalia<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At sunset, Xiao Jinfeng closed the shop and sent the two young ones back to Xiao Jingting’s house. “Third brother, what are you cooking?” Xiao Jinfeng asked. “I’m making dumplings.” Xiao Jingting worked hard kneading the dough, his eyes shining.
