Xu Muan did not want Xiao Jinting to get involved with the Xiao family in the Barbarian Continent. If Xiao Jinting hadn’t transmigrated, Xu Muan and the sons would have been tortured to death, so he disliked the Xiao family.
…
When Xiao Jingfeng went back home, Mu Shuyu asked, “What does your brother say?”
“He says he will go back and take a look. If everything is fine, he won’t show up,” said Xiao Jingfeng.
Mu Shu nodded. “That’s good.”
The Xiao family was incredibly annoying. They left the Barbarian Continent because of that.
“Jinting says although he has a high status now, he has many enemies. If the Xiao family is targeted, he’s afraid that he can’t protect them. So we’d better ask my parents to keep a low profile,” said Xiao Jingfeng.
“He’s right,” said Mu Shuyu.
The Cloud Continent was not peaceful now. Many people had died in the war between the righteous sects and the demonic sects. There were presently endless conflicts between the Sacred Sect and the major sects, and the war could break out at any time. The Barbarian Continent had poor resources, but it was relatively safe.
Mu Shuyu narrowed his eyes. Xiao Qingyan’s two sons were selfish like their father. If they came to the Cloud Continent, they would do evil things under the name of Xiao Jinting.
When Xiao Jingfeng was in Barbarian Continent, he had been dragged down by the family.
When Xiao Jinting left, he left a lot of resources, but those resources were limited after all. After Xiao Jingfeng advanced to Establishment Foundation, he took on many tasks. Most of the resources he earned from the tasks went to his parents, who gave them to Xiao Qingyan.
The family did not appreciate Xiao Jingfeng’s kindness and instead grew greedier.
Mu Shuyu did not understand why Xiao Jingfeng’s parents were so biased.
“Thankfully you saved the pill. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Xiaofu to advance to Establishment Foundation,” said Xiao Jingfeng.
After Xiao Jingfeng arrived at the Cloud Continent, he realized the value of Establishment Foundation Pills, which were rare resources coveted by people. Thankfully, Mu Shuyu hid a pill. Otherwise, Xiao Fu would have failed to establish the foundation and died.
Mu Shuyu smiled and said, “I’m glad that you don’t blame me.”
He hid the pill just in case. The Xiao family was too greedy. He had to consider his son’s future. He was worried that Xiao Jingfeng would turn in the pill under the pressure of his father. So he saved one pill secretly.
The Establishment Foundation Pills were left by Xiao Jinting, and Xiao Jingfeng felt guilty about that.
“How can I blame you?” said Xiao Jingfeng.
It pained him to recall that his parents ganged up with Xiao Qingyan and came to make trouble when Xiao Xiaofu established the foundation. It was a critical moment. He couldn’t believe his parents attempted to ruin his son’s future.
…
Chen Xu looked at Xiao Xiaodong and asked, “You are going to the Barbarian Continent?”
“Yes, Xiaofan wants to go, but I ask him to stay in the Cloud Continent,” said Xiao Xiaodong.
Chen Xu was confused. “Why?”
“He is gullible,” said Xiao Xiaodong.
Xiao Xiaodong lowered his head. Xiao Xiaofan forgot about what happened when they were small, but he would not forget it.
He was not adored in the Xiao family at all. His grandparents didn’t care about him, nor did they treat him as their grandson. If Xiao Jinting had not transmigrated, the family might have died long ago.
His father was not the original one, who owed his life to the Xiao family. Now his father didn’t own the Xiao family anything. Even if he owed them something, he had paid off long ago.
“You seem to dislike your relatives in the Barbarian Continent,” said Chen Xu.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu and said, “Yes, I hate them. In fact, I don’t care if they die. Xu’er, do you think I’m heartless?”
Chen Xu shook his head and said, “Not at all. I know you have your own reasons.”
Xiao Xiaodong smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Chen Xu tilted his head and said, “Why do you thank me? You are my husband, and I should take your side. Should I side with the people I don’t know instead of supporting my husband?”
Xiao Xiaodong held Chen Xu’s hand without saying anything else.
