Xiao Jingting carefully tended to the peach trees in the peach garden, while Xiao Xiaodong officially became a servant under Ouyang Jinyue.
Ouyang Jinyue looked at the indifferent youth in front of her and couldn’t help but say, “It’s been several years, you’ve grown much more handsome!”
Xiao Xiaodong glanced faintly at Ouyang Jinyue and replied indifferently, “Thanks for the compliment. When will I be able to see Xiaofan?”
Ouyang Jinyue shook her head, full of regret, “In fact, I rarely see Xiaofan myself.”
Xiaofan was a closed-door disciple of a Golden Core cultivator, while she was just an ordinary outer disciple. Their statuses were vastly different. When Xiaofan first entered the immortal sect, their relationship was good, but after entering the sect, he formed his own circle, and their relationship gradually drifted apart.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “I see.”
“What realm is your cultivation at?” Ouyang Jinyue curiously asked.
“Why do you ask?” Xiao Xiaodong asked with a sideways glance at Ouyang Jinyue.
Ouyang Jinyue shrugged and said, “I’m just curious.”
Xiao Xiaodong lowered his head and remained silent. Before entering the immortal sect, Xiao Xiaodong suppressed his cultivation at the fifth level of Qi Refinement. The disciples of the Qingyun Immortal Sect were quite arrogant. If his cultivation level was too high, it would inevitably attract resentment. Xiao Xiaodong’s concealment technique was extraordinary. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators might not be able to discern his true level without careful observation.
Looking at Xiao Xiaodong, Ouyang Jinyue said helplessly, “After all these years, you’re still the same, not a bit cute.”
Xiao Xiaodong raised his eyes and didn’t deny it.
“I heard that Xiaofan is pursuing a male cultivator, causing quite a stir,” Xiao Xiaodong said coldly.
Ouyang Jinyue nodded, “Yes, that’s true.”
Xiao Xiaodong said irritably, “What is Xiaofan up to?”
Ouyang Jinyue shook her head and said, “I don’t know! I’ve advised him, but he didn’t listen to me.” Xiaofan was young and forgetful, often being confined by his master to cultivate. She and Xiaofan rarely met, and their relationship wasn’t very deep to begin with, so Ouyang Jinyue’s influence on Xiaofan was limited.
“Is there really no way to see him soon?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
Ouyang Jinyue shook her head and said, “Not exactly.”
“What way?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
“I heard that your younger brother has tried to give Dong Lin gifts several times, but he hasn’t accepted them. He’s been refining a Purple Cloud Bow recently, using very precious materials. He’s been frequenting the Refining Pavilion. If you spend some spirit stones to ask someone from the Refining Pavilion to deliver a message to him, it should be possible to summon him out,” Ouyang Jinyue said.
“Don’t you have any spirit stones?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
Ouyang Jinyue blushed and said, “After entering the immortal sect, I had to take care of everything myself. The stipend given by the sect is not enough. I don’t have much strength, so I can’t earn many spirit stones from tasks. Over time, I became poor.”
Xiao Xiaodong asked in surprise, “Don’t you have a Golden Core ancestor backing you?”
Ouyang Jinyue sighed lightly and said, “The relationship has long been distant. That Golden Core ancestor has many descendants in the sect to take care of, so he prioritizes them.”
“Will twenty spirit stones be enough?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
Ouyang Jinyue hurriedly nodded and said, “That’s enough, that’s enough. It’s not a big deal to deliver a message. It won’t cost many spirit stones. Do you need to write a letter to him?”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded, “Okay.”
Xiao Xiaodong took out a piece of paper, drew a lot of food on it, and then wrote four words, “Want to eat, come quickly.”
Ouyang Jinyue frowned and hesitated, “Will this work?”
“He’s stupid. If it’s too complicated, he won’t understand,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
Ouyang Jinyue: “…”
In the Refining Pavilion.
Xiao Fan received a letter from Xiao Xiaodong, his eyes filled with excitement.
“Where did this letter come from?” Xiao Fan grabbed the messenger’s arm excitedly and asked.
“It was brought by Ouyang Jinyue from the outer sect.”
With the messenger’s words, Xiao Fan couldn’t care less about refining tools anymore. He rushed towards the outer sect where Ouyang Jinyue was located.
Ouyang Jinyue saw Xiao Fan rushing over in excitement and couldn’t help but think to herself: He came really fast.
“Jinyue, is this from you?”
“No, it’s from me.” Xiao Xiaodong walked out from behind Ouyang Jinyue, and as soon as Xiao Fan saw Xiao Xiaodong, he rushed over excitedly.
“You’re not that dumb, you still recognize me.” Xiao Xiaodong was somewhat happy.
Xiao Fan hugged Xiao Xiaodong and jumped around, saying excitedly, “How could I not recognize you? You still have the same sour face as three years ago!”
Xiao Xiaodong: “…”
Ouyang Jinyue covered her mouth and laughed. She secretly thought: That’s right, Xiao Xiaodong has always loved to make a sour face since childhood, looking like everyone owes him money.
“Brother, are you the only one who came?” Xiao Fan asked.
Xiao Xiaodong shook his head and said, “No, Father and Mother also came, and Little Brother.”
Xiao Fan nodded, his eyes bright, “Really? That’s great.”
Xiao Xiaodong frowned and said, “Enough about that. I heard you like someone in the sect, Dong Lin?”
Xiao Fan rubbed his hands, feeling embarrassed, “He looks like my dad! After I came here and couldn’t see you guys, seeing him look so much like dad, I started to like him.”
Ouyang Jinyue was stunned. She had heard many people in the sect say that Xiao Fan was infatuated with Dong Lin, but she never understood why. Now it seemed clear.
Xiao Xiaodong said irritably, “How does he look like dad? He’s so ugly. What’s wrong with your eyes?”
Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Xiaodong in confusion and said, “Really? Doesn’t he look like him?”
“Where does he look like? From head to toe, not at all, not even a single hair,” Xiao Xiaodong said irritably.
Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Xiaodong solemnly and said, “Okay, I don’t like him anymore.”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded in satisfaction and said, “That’s right.”
Ouyang Jinyue watched dumbfoundedly from the side. It was so simple. She had advised Xiao Fan twice before, but he didn’t take it seriously. Now, after being scolded by Xiao Xiaodong, Xiao Fan changed his attitude. Xiao Xiaodong was indeed impressive.
“I heard you’re also going to make a Purple Cloud Bow for that stinky brat,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
Xiao Fan nodded and said, “Yes, there is such a thing, but, brother, since that guy doesn’t look like dad, I won’t give it to him.”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “That’s right. You’ve never made a magical tool for me. Why should you give it to that stinky brat?”
“How about I make the bow and arrows for you?” Xiao Fan suggested.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Okay! Good things should be kept for family members. Why should you always favor an outsider?”
Xiao Fan nodded and said, “I won’t make it for him anymore, only for you, Father, Mother, and Little Brother.”
“How is your master treating you?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
“My master is pretty good to me, just a bit strict. Recently, my master has been in seclusion and hasn’t paid much attention to me,” Xiao Fan said.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Is that so?”
After bidding farewell to Xiao Xiaodong, Xiao Fan walked back to his own courtyard with excitement and joy written all over his face.
“Xiao Fan, where did you go?” Tang Yunjie blocked Xiao Fan’s path.
Xiao Fan stopped and said excitedly, “Yunjie, it’s you!”
Tang Yunjie nodded and said, “Yes!”
Xiao Fan generously took out a bag of jerky and said, “Please have some, would you like some?”
Tang Yunjie looked at Xiao Fan with surprise, “Have you changed?”
Xiao Fan was protective of his food. Even if the jerky was moldy, Xiao Fan wouldn’t want to share it with others. But now he was so generous, giving away a big bag at once.
“We’re friends, aren’t we? We should be generous to our friends,” Xiao Fan said spiritedly.
Tang Yunjie looked at Xiao Fan’s appearance and felt that his worldview had been completely overturned. Was this still Xiao Fan?
“Did something happen to you?” Tang Yunjie asked.
Xiao Fan shook his head and said, “No!” Xiao Fan really wanted to announce to the world that his brother had come, his father had come, his mother had come, but his brother said to maintain the mystery and not to tell anyone, and also not to rashly go to find his father and mother, and not to tell anyone.
“We are friends! And you just give me moldy jerky?” Tang Yunjie complained.
Xiao Fan thought for a moment, took out a cake, and handed it to Tang Yunjie, saying, “Here, take it.”
Tang Yunjie looked at Xiao Fan with a puzzled expression and said, “Are you really giving it to me?”
Xiao Fan nodded and said, “Yes! Oh, I have to go make the Purple Cloud Bow now.”
“You don’t need to work so hard. Anyway, the things you give to Dong Lin are not taken seriously by him,” Tang Yunjie reminded him casually.
Xiao Fan solemnly nodded and said, “That’s right! So, I won’t give it to him anymore.”
Tang Yunjie looked dumbfoundedly at Xiao Fan and asked, “You don’t like him anymore?”
Xiao Fan nodded and said, “Yes! I don’t like him anymore.”
Tang Yunjie: “… How did you suddenly stop liking him?”
Xiao Fan wrinkled his nose and said, “He looks ugly and doesn’t look like my dad.”
Tang Yunjie: “…” So it’s that simple. If he had known earlier, he would have told Xiao Fan long ago that Dong Lin didn’t look like his dad.
Ouyang Jinyue looked at Xiao Xiaodong somewhat puzzled and asked, “Why don’t you let Xiaofan recognize you? Xiaofan is an inner disciple, with a much higher status than me. If you acknowledge him, your status within the sect will be greatly improved.”
Xiao Xiaodong shook his head and said, “I don’t like attracting attention.”
“What a freak.” Ouyang Jinyue couldn’t help but say.
Xiao Xiaodong frowned. He privately felt that there was a big secret about his father. Before he had the ability to protect himself, it was best to act low-key. Xiaofan’s identity was somewhat eye-catching, and he didn’t want to attract attention.
“By the way, I saw that outer disciples can go to the back mountain to hunt for missions,” Xiao Xiaodong said. The back mountain of the Qingyun Mountain Range was a good place! There were countless rare flowers and herbs. If he could get some seedlings for his father, his father would be very happy.
Ouyang Jinyue: “… “ She’s afraid of death!
