I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 254: Chapter 223: The Gathering Storm (Bonus for 500 Yue Tickets)

After leaving the Kong Clan City, Jiang Yuebai calmed down.

”Master, what if I lose? I’m only at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment. To win the championship, I not only have to deal with the Kong Family but also the entire Noble Family Alliance and all the other participants of the Wind and Cloud Meeting, so many at Peak Foundation Establishment.”

Lii Jiuchuan put away the strictly drafted bet agreement and shrugged helplessly.

”I don’t need the Chaos Erosion Spiritual Fruit at the moment. If it’s gone, I’ll just wait another three hundred years, but as for your Golden Spiritual Object... you better work hard, don’t come crying later saying your master didn’t help you.”

”I’m not the kind of ungrateful person; no, I need to quickly research the information on those people from the Kong Family and on other participating cultivators. Master, you can go see your old friends; I’ll go to the Hongyan Building to buy information.”

Jiang Yuebai dashed off, and Lii Jiuchuan smiled as he watched her retreating back: ”I believe you can definitely win the championship. It seems even I, your master, need to put in some effort, otherwise how can I be fit to be the master of a champion?”

In the most bustling area of Kongfang City, deep inside a courtyard.

Xie Jingshan was furious, his face red, talking to an old man sleeping in a rocking chair like a mischievous child.

”Grandfather, you’re just too much! The Sword List I want to get on is from my own efforts, not with you throwing Spirit Stones at it.”

Xie Tianbao waved a palm fan, fanning himself and rocking, ”Oh, then you won’t get on it.”

”Grandfather!!” Xie Jingshan’s seven orifices smoked, ”What I hate most is you paving the way with money!”

Xie Tianbao sat up suddenly and slammed down the palm fan.

”Is it wrong to pave the way with money? Money can solve ninety percent of your troubles in this world, making your path easier and smoother. You, young man, don’t realize how fortunate you are. If you don’t want me to manage you, fine, give me seventeen or eighteen great-grandchildren, then go wherever you want, and I absolutely will not interfere with you anymore.”

Xie Jingshan was simply helpless against Xie Tianbao, his face flushed with anger, and after holding it in for a long time, he finally shouted: ”I like men!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Jingshan saw two figures flash outside the courtyard door, holding hands, it was his father Xie Guihong and his mother Ding Lanzhi.

”No, Mother, listen to my explanation, I’m not, I, oh!!”

Xie Jingshan hugged his head and squatted down, almost crying in anger.

Ding Lanzhi let go of Xie Guihong’s hand and walked over to Xie Jingshan.

Xie Tianbao snorted, closed his eyes to meditate, the rocking chair swayed more vigorously.

Ding Lanzhi pulled Xie Jingshan up, looking at her son who was taller than her, she playfully scolded: ”You’re a grown man, how can you still behave like a child who hasn’t grown up. Which guy do you fancy, bring him home for your mother to see.”

”Cough~”

Xie Guihong choked on his saliva, Ding Lanzhi glanced at him angrily, and Xie Guihong quickly pressed his lips and signaled that he was fine.

Xie Jingshan was surprised, ”Mother, you...”

Ding Lanzhi said: ”In this world, there are men and women. Oh, and extraordinary people or demons too; it doesn’t matter what you like, as long as it’s something you love, your mother will support you to pursue it. Don’t worry about what others think. Life isn’t long or short, knowing what truly makes you happy is what’s most important.”

”Mother~”

Xie Jingshan pouted, indeed, a child with a mother is cherished.

Xie Jingshan reached out for a hug, but Xie Guihong pressed his forehead, sternly saying: ”How old are you, and you’re still hugging your mother!”

Xie Jingshan angrily swatted away Xie Guihong’s hand, ”I haven’t hugged my mother since I was four! Why can only you hug her!”

”She is my Daoist Companion.” Xie Guihong pulled Ding Lanzhi to his side.

”Well, she’s still my mother! Go find your own mother!”

”Hey, hey, hey,” Xie Tianbao voiced displeasure, ”When you father and son quarrel, don’t drag others into it, or both of you get out.”

Pfft~

Ding Lanzhi couldn’t help but laugh as she watched the men of all ages in this family.

”Okay, that’s enough from all of you,” Ding Lanzhi tried to mediate, ”Jingshan, it’s my fault for not being with you all these years; I heard you’ve joined the Heavenly Interence Sect for Sword Cultivation. Go prepare, as I want to personally test your swordsmanship later.”

Xie Jingshan’s eyes lit up, ”Really? I’ll prepare now, Mother, don’t trick me.”

As soon as Xie Jingshan left, Xie Tianbao glanced at Ding Lanzhi with displeasure.

”Don’t think I don’t know you have no good intentions, woman. You’re thinking of using my son for some shady business again; you’ve almost emptied half the Mountain and Sea Building’s assets over the years, and now that you’re back, you sent away another large sum of Spirit Stones.”

Xie Guihong defended his wife, ”Father, it was I who sent it. Lanzhi and her sisters from Feiyan Pavilion wanted to stay for a while, so I bought them a house in the suburbs.”

Ding Lanzhi patted Xie Guihong’s hand, set up a Sound Insulation Great Array, and Xie Tianbao became alert immediately.
