Xie Tian knew that his father was stingy and greedy, so he wasn't surprised to see him faint over a hundred seventh-grade spirit stones.
After a long while, his father finally came back to his senses. When his vision cleared, he saw Chu Lingxian's innocent face.
He resisted the urge to slap her, took a few deep breaths to calm his anger, and pushed the spirit stones on the table to her with heartache.
"Keep these spirit stones. Remember, don't waste them in the future. Ah, ah, ah, I won't talk about it anymore. The more I talk about it, the more heartache I feel."
His father was really distressed. When the food and wine were served, his heartache turned into an amazing appetite. Chu Lingxian had just filled their cups with wine when half of the food on the table was gone.
"Ah, I'm so angry that I can't eat anymore. You guys eat, I'll go out for a walk."
His father threw away his chopsticks and sighed as he walked out of the hall. Hearing the words "wastrel" coming from his old mouth, Chu Lingxian was so ashamed that she wanted to hide her face.
"Brother Mo, you're right. I was wrong to make you so angry."
Xie Tian looked for a while and finally understood Chu Lingxian's identity. In the Three Thousand World, his father had found a fat sheep for them, and she was mainly in charge of food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
"My father is worth two …" Xie Tian was speechless except for praise.
"Hurry up and eat. When you're done, we'll find Brother Mo."
Chu Lingxian was depressed and started to drink. Seeing this, Xie Tian couldn't bear it and asked, "What's your name, Brother?"
"Chu …" Chu Lingxian thought for a while and decided not to anger his father anymore, so she changed her name and said, "Wu Shang."
Pfft!
Chu Lingxian wiped the juice off her face and looked at Xie Tian in confusion.
Even though Xie Tian had a good temperament, he couldn't help but spit out the two words.
At this moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This pseudonym was indeed appropriate, but Wu Shang was his idol, so he felt that his father had gone too far.
"Father gave you this name, right?" Xie Tian tried to find something to talk about.
Chu Lingxian said gratefully, "The world is dangerous. Brother Mo is doing this for my own good."
The pity in Xie Tian's heart grew stronger. At this moment, he also realized that Chu Lingxian and Shen Ji were the same kind of people. To put it nicely, they were pure and innocent. pbx.m
However, he liked this kind of innocent person.
"That, Wu …" Xie Tian opened his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't call him Big Brother Wu Shang, so he asked, "What is Big Brother's real name?"
"I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else, lest I get angry." Chu Lingxian waved her hand to set up a barrier as if she was serious. She said warily, "My name is Chu Lingxian. You can just call me Big Brother."
He had been thoroughly played … Xie Tian nodded woodenly, and asked, "Big Brother Ling Xian, how did you meet Father?"
"Me and him … Eh, Big Brother is your grandfather …"
"I'm used to calling him that."
"Oh, he and I are …"
After the narration, Xie Tian understood what had happened, and his brows instantly furrowed.
Just like Father, his heart was filled with monstrous worry.
"Even if I get a spot to participate in the Ranking of Three Thousand Battles, the Xuanyuan Battle Tablet …"
This was the most critical problem. Thinking of this, Xie Tian was no longer in the mood to eat. He excused himself and walked out of the tavern, walking to Father's side.
"Father, what do we do?"
Talking to smart people was simple and clear. As soon as Xie Tian opened his mouth, Father understood what he was asking. Thus, he shook his head and sighed. "There's no other way. We can only take one step at a time."
"How do the Zhou Family usually do things?"
Father was gratified. Xie Tian opened his mouth and asked the most important question.
"I've asked around. The Zhou Family do things in an open and aboveboard manner. If you perform well, you might be able to negotiate with the Zhou Family."
Xie Tian secretly heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Father, what are your arrangements?"
"How are your preparations?" Father didn't answer, but instead asked a question.
"I've cultivated a small soul cultivation technique."
Father smacked his lips and said gratifyingly, "In ten days, you've cultivated a small technique. You're really not bad."
"That's in the Nine Prefectures. In the Three Thousand Worlds …" Xie Tian shook his head bitterly.
Father was even more gratified. "Very good. It seems that you've completely recognized your own insignificance. I can rest assured. You should rest for two more days. Two days later, we'll go to the Zhou Family. The Zhou Family still has to test you."
Xie Tian was about to nod when he saw Chu Lingxian walk out. She couldn't help but say to Father, "Father, Big Brother Ling Xian is a very good person."
"Little brat, you're a traitor." Father was angry and amused at the same time. He patted the back of Xie Tian's head and said, "I know what I'm doing. It's just a few spirit stones … Sigh, the mention of spirit stones makes my heart ache …"
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, the three of them found another inn. This time, Chu Lingxian had completely learned her lesson and directly threw the storage bag to Father.
"Brother, these are all the spirit stones I have. You arrange it, I'll learn."
Father was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. "Good child, good child. Innkeeper, a yellow-grade cave abode for two days. Don't ask for three meals. Give me two extra blankets …"
"Three men living in a cave abode, and you want extra blankets? Ptui!"
Looking at the back of Father, Little Wen, and Little Wen, the innkeeper secretly spat.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
Chu Lingxian was a blank piece of paper, allowing Father to do whatever he wanted.
After two days of hard living, Chu Lingxian seemed to really think that she had matured a little. However, in Xie Tian's eyes, the innocence in her eyes hadn't decreased at all.
"Brother, where are we going?" Chu Lingxian asked.
Father said slowly, "Although we have the quota, the Zhou Family is afraid that we will meet with unscrupulous people and tarnish their family's reputation, so we still need to test it. Brother, I have something to entrust to you."
Chu Lingxian bowed solemnly and said, "Brother, please tell me."
"This grandson of mine, Xie Tian …"
"Brother, your surname is Mo, and your grandson …"
"I'm used to calling him by his nickname," Father reminded. "I can't enter the Zhou Family, so after you enter the Zhou Family, the two of you have to take care of each other. If anyone bullies him, you have to help …"
"Brother, don't worry. No one will dare to bully Brother Xie Tian!"
"I haven't finished …" Father said slowly, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can also ask Xie Tian. Although his cultivation isn't good, he is smart. He can still help you think of a way."
Having already regarded Xie Tian as his younger self, Chu Lingxian wouldn't listen to his words. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay. Brother, I promise."
"Little brat, take care." Father looked deeply at Xie Tian and turned to leave.
Feeling the weight of these words, Xie Tian looked up at the sky and said to the reluctant Chu Lingxian, "Brother, let's go in."
"Brother, I can't bear to leave you."
Xie Tian comforted, "We will meet again soon."
"If it wasn't for brother, I might not even be able to enter the fighting list."
"Then work hard and make your brother happy."
"Brother, you are right!" Chu Lingxian was full of fighting spirit and said firmly, "Brother's painstaking efforts are for us to achieve success and fame. Brother, especially you, don't let me down!"
Thinking of the more than 1,000 people in the Million Mountains, Xie Tian said seriously, "I will."
There were at least 8,000 people outside the Zhou Family's territory who swore like the two of them. Among them, only 1% received the quota given by the Zhou Family.
The names of these people were read out by the Zhou Family's elders. When Wu Shang was called, Chu Lingxian nodded at Xie Tian and walked into the clan's territory like a hero who would never return.
"Pill tribulation Xie Tian, enter!"
Xie Tian walked out of the crowd, attracting many people's attention. However, when they saw Xie Tian's cultivation, even the elder who registered for Xie Tian felt embarrassed.
"A mere Pill Tribulation Level 5 …"
However, the elder took a deep breath when he thought of the 100 grade 7 spirit stones. Under the surprised gazes of his own people, he watched expressionlessly as Xie Tian walked past him into the clan's territory.
"Humph, I have fulfilled my promise by letting you in. If you can't pass the test, no one can say that I didn't keep my promise!"
After all, the Pill Tribulation cultivators who wanted to participate in the divine power ranking were all perfected Pill Tribulation Realm, not even peak Pill Tribulation Realm!
Seeing Xie Tian, the thousands of cultivators were overjoyed.
"Haha, the Zhou Family is really meticulous. They will definitely give up this quota!"
"Heh, Pill Tribulation Level 5, finally a confirmed one …"
"In at most an hour, the Zhou Family will have an extra quota, and it will be mine!"
