Once Xiao Jinting and Xiao Xiaojin got into the carriage, the Flying Bear started to complain.
It told them that after it was born, it had been staying on the island, and the life was happy and peaceful.
It felt at peace with the world, but some people liked to get it into trouble. They either came to snatch its honey or try to catch it to be their pet. They were useless, but they asked for the moon. They got killed by the bees that it released or died in its hand with one slap.
Xiao Jinting sighed inwardly. The survival of the fittest. He couldn’t say who was wrong, the cultivators or the Flying Bear.
The Flying Bear said that the Ye family had also gone to Honeycomb Island, but they were scared back.
The bear had formed the core for a long time and it was smart. It easily recognized Ye Jinlan’s clothes, which were the same as those cultivators who had sneaked into Honeycomb Island.
It told them that it was in fact a cub, even though it was over three hundred years old. Flying Bears turned grown-up at the age of five hundred years, so now he was growing up and needed a lot of nourishment. They couldn’t abuse it.
Xiao Jinting looked at the bear and said, “Son, put it away.”
Nodding, Xiao Xiaojin ignored the bear’s protest and thrust it into the spiritual beast bag.
Xiao Jinting rolled his eyes. Ever since his son made a contract with the Flying Bear, the honey of Golden Bees in his jade space began to decrease rapidly. This stupid bear was gluttonous and lazy, as well as fussy. It was a bastard.
Xiao Xiaojin took out a honey cake and tried to please Xiao Jinting. “Father, do you like to have some cake?”
Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “No, thank you.”
Xiao Xiaojin was dismayed. The Flying Bear screamed in the spiritual beast bag, “Give it to me since he doesn’t eat. It’s a waste of food!”
Even though the bear was confined in the spiritual beast bag, it could communicate with Xiao Xiaojin, who ignored its shouts and stuffed the cake into his mouth. The bear cursed in the bag, but Xiao Xiaojin ignored it.
…
The convoy of the Ye Family suddenly stopped after travelling for one day.
Ye Jinlan looked at the man that blocked the way and frowned. “Mr. He, what are you doing here?”
He Li smiled and said, “Nothing. I heard that Miss Ye has found a helper for the Ye family. I come to see him.”
Ye Jinlan frowned and said, “The competition is coming up, and there are plenty of opportunities to see him. Why are you in a hurry?”
He Lei said disapprovingly, “It’s a long time before the competition. Why don’t you let me test the strength of this man and see if he is qualified for the competition?”
Xiao Xiaojin said excitedly, “Father, someone seems to come and challenge you.”
Xiao Jinting looked at Xiao Xiaojin’s excited face and said, “Why are you so happy that someone is looking for trouble?”
“It’s bored if the journey is uneventful. It’s fun if someone comes to look for trouble,” Xiao Xiaojin said.
Xiao Jinting was speechless, wondering why he had a son who desired to stir up trouble. What was so good about someone coming to challenge? He couldn’t get extra pay.
“Miss Ye, where’s the cultivator you invited? Why doesn’t he come out? Have you found a coward?” He Li asked.
Ye Jinlan looked at He Li coldly and said, “It’s none of your business.”
In the carriage, Xiao Jinting touched his chin and pondered.
Xiao Xiaojin’s eyes glinted. “Father, he calls you a coward.”
Xiao Jinting looked at Xiao Xiaojin’s excited face and turned gloomy. Why was Xiao Xiaojin so happy when his father was ridiculed?
“It seems the Ye family is very weak.” The He family was a member of the Business Alliance, and it was more powerful than the Ye family. It didn’t take the Ye family seriously since it dared to ask for trouble like this.
“Father, are you going out to take a look?” Xiao Xiaojin asked.
“No, no,” Xiao Jinting said.
Xiao Xiaojin looked at Xiao Jinting and said, “Father, you’re still young and you need to be brave. Don’t behave like an old man!”
Xiao Jinting was lost for words.
“Father, if you shun him like this, Daddy won’t like you anymore,” Xiao Xiaojin said.
Xiao Jinting was speechless.
He opened the curtain and came out. “Miss Ye, what’s up?”
He Li smiled brightly at sight of Xiao Jinting and said, “Mr. Xiao, I’ve heard of you for a long time.”
Xiao Jinting looked at He Li’s bright smile, thinking he was like a fool.
