Madame He could still put on the airs of an elder in front of He Yunfei, but in front of Jin Zhen, a Jindan Stage weaponsmith, she didn't dare to be arrogant. However, Jin Zhen not giving her any face still made her very angry, "Master Jin, you just came out of seclusion so you don't know. This woman's origin is unknown. She injured my son and stole all his things. Now she's still following Yunfei. I don't know what she's up to. You must not be deceived by her."
Jin Zhen's temper was relatively straightforward, so he didn't talk nonsense. He coldly snorted and said, "You don't have to worry about whether I'll be deceived or not. I have something to ask Miss Lin. You should leave quickly. This place doesn't welcome you."
The surrounding servants watched. Madame He felt embarrassed and angrily said, "This mansion is my elder brother's mansion. Why can't I come here now? What does Master Jin mean? Could it be that this mansion is going to be surnamed Jin? "
Jin Zhen didn't have the patience to talk to her. He narrowed his eyes and was about to make a move. Chu Xiang stopped him and chuckled, "Madame Zhou's words are really interesting. In order to put a label on Master Jin, you actually implied that your elder brother should marry into the family?"
Madame He was shocked, "What are you talking about!"
"Isn't it? If he doesn't marry into the family, how can this mansion be surnamed Jin? " Chu Xiang tilted her head, "Let me guess. Your son has returned, so the many cultivators on the island must have also returned. They must have spread the news that I'm going to treat Yunfei's illness, right? You're obstructing me from treating Yunfei's illness. Could it be that you want your son to replace you as the city lord, just like the others said? "
This time, Madame He's expression changed. She sternly reprimanded, "Don't try to sow discord between us siblings. You …"
"Enough." A cold voice came. He Feng came from the corner with some people.
Madame He's face turned pale. She hurriedly explained, "Brother, don't listen to her nonsense. I never had such an idea. Yunfei is my only nephew. I don't have enough time to dote on him. I'm just angry that this woman injured Feng … "
Jin Zhen coldly snorted, "Sophistry!" He said to Chu Xiang, "I followed the method you taught me and made a high-grade magic weapon. Let's go inside. Brother-in-law will take care of things here."
He Feng nodded towards Chu Xiang with an apologetic expression. Chu Xiang then followed Jin Zhen to the courtyard. Along the way, she saw Jin Zhen display the magic tool that he had refined. Her joy was evident on her face.
Chu Xiang couldn't help but sigh. Once a person became obsessed with a certain aspect, it was really easy to live a simple life. He only thought about the things he cared about and did not care about anything else. Jin Zhen's life was very relaxed.
He Feng waited for them to leave before saying to Madam He, "I have an important guest in my residence. Don't come over for the time being, lest you offend the important guest. Also, your son needs to be properly disciplined. Since you don't know how to teach him, then send him to the army to learn how to behave. "
"No, brother!"
He Feng waved his hand and someone immediately carried Madam He out of the City Lord's Mansion. They did not leave Madam He behind. Instead, they went with her to the Zhou family and escorted Zhou Yufeng to the army. Hai City's City Lord was a man of his word. Even if Madam He cried at home and Father Zhou flew into a rage, it was useless. Zhou Yufeng was taken away just like that.
When the servant returned to report that the matter had been settled, He Feng apologized to Chu Xiang again, "I neglected them and almost caused a disaster. This time, I have to thank Miss Lin for stopping them in time and saving Miss Luo's life. "
Chu Xiang smiled: "City Lord is too polite. I also saw that Miss Luo's character was not bad, so I took care of her. Now that I have this person, Yu, I am the one who took advantage."
"Miss Lin is a benevolent doctor. You saved Miss Luo's grandfather. Miss Luo should be grateful to you." He Feng paused, then continued, "Does Miss Lin lack people by your side? The servants in the City Lord's Mansion are all well-trained. If Miss Lin has someone you like, just say the word. "
Chu Xiang shook her head, "Only those who are fated can get along, and those who are fated are hard to come by. It is better to have nothing than to have something substandard."
When He Feng heard this, he did not know why he felt a sense of pride. Those who were fated were hard to come by. The first person that Chu Xiang got close to in Hai City was He Yun Fei. Didn't that mean that He Yun Fei was fated to be with Chu Xiang?
Actually, when he first heard of Chu Xiang's name, he was full of doubts. He had lived in the South Shore Mainland for more than a hundred years and had never heard of any hidden family. Moreover, Chu Xiang's appearance was very sudden and she got close to He Yun Fei as soon as she appeared. It was hard for him not to think too much.
Moreover, Chu Xiang boasted that she had a seventy percent chance of curing He Yun Fei. This was too hard to believe. However, He Yun Fei repeatedly assured him that Chu Xiang had no ill intentions towards them. He also told him about the little things that happened between him and Chu Xiang. He understood that Chu Xiang was very knowledgeable about cultivation. Indeed, she was very much like a child that had been carefully nurtured by a big family. Moreover, this knowledge and so many magic tools were something that even the First Young Master of the South Shore, Wei Lingxiao, did not have. This was very consistent with the rules of a hidden family.
When he saw Chu Xiang with his own eyes and found that Chu Xiang could even help Jin Zhen refine magic tools, he really appreciated Chu Xiang. He also believed that Chu Xiang could cure his son. This matter concerned his son's life and death. Even if he was the leader of a big sect in the Luo Continent, he would still be polite to Chu Xiang, not to mention he was only the City Lord of Hai City.
Of course, he would not be merciful to those who offended Chu Xiang's sister's family. He would teach them a lesson. They were too ambitious. It was time for them to rein in their arrogance.
As such, Chu Xiang was naturally comfortable in the City Lord's Mansion. While He Feng was collecting medicinal materials, she instructed Jin Zhen to refine an upper-grade Flame Whip for her. It was refined from the skin of the three third-level snake beasts. She also specially engraved an array on the whip handle. As long as a spiritual stone was placed in the groove in the center of the array, the Flame Whip could exert the power of the three snake beasts combined. It was comparable to the power of a fire cultivator who had completed the Foundation Establishment stage.
Jin Zhen's furnace had exploded when he was refining an upper-grade offensive magic tool. This Flame Whip was the second upper-grade offensive magic tool he had refined. The refining method was different from the one he had refined before. It was several times more complicated. However, he was obsessed with refining magic tools. He was very skilled in all aspects of refining magic tools. No matter how Chu Xiang instructed him, he could follow. In the end, he refined a whip that satisfied Chu Xiang.
He was even more satisfied. He felt that the Flame Whip was the best magic tool he had ever refined in his life. The power of the three snake beasts could be superimposed. He had never heard of this method before. He was very curious about the hermit family behind Chu Xiang. He had asked Chu Xiang many times. He especially wanted to be a hanger-on. As long as she could teach him about refining magic tools, it would be enough.
Unfortunately, Chu Xiang did not agree. There was nothing he could do.
Because of this, Jin Zhen was very depressed. However, he soon discovered that Chu Xiang's knowledge in refining magic tools was very high. He did not need to look for the hermit family. He only needed to ask Chu Xiang to teach him!
A Gold Core Stage cultivator trying to please a young girl would not happen. However, it was different when it came to Jin Zhen who was obsessed with refining magic tools. He began to snatch He Yunfei and Luo Yu's work. Whenever Chu Xiang wanted to do something, he would be the first to rush. This made Chu Xiang feel a little surprised and amused.
As for Chu Xiang, as usual, she carefully looked at his face.
The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the more youthful they were. Thus, although Jin Zhen was He Yunfei's uncle, he looked like his older brother. He looked like he was in his twenties and was very handsome.
He noticed Chu Xiang's gaze and touched his face. He suddenly understood, "You like good-looking people? Nephews look like their uncles. Don't you think that Yunfei and I look a little alike? Actually, I'm better looking than Yunfei. Yunfei's health is not good. If you have anything to do, don't ask him to do it. Just ask me to do it. "
He Yunfei's face darkened, "Uncle, how come I didn't know that you were so shameless? How are you better looking than me? "
Luo Yu laughed, "Why are you comparing who is better looking? Aren't you looking for fortune tellers? As long as your character is good, looks are definitely secondary. "
Chu Xiang nodded, "That's right. I feel that Old Master Luo is also quite good. Of course, being good looking is also very important. I like good-looking people."
Jin Zhen and He Yunfei looked at each other's faces. Luo Yu laughed again. Over the past few days, her grandfather had already finished eating the seven pills. He had really recovered his health and looked like he was in his prime. Therefore, Luo Yu was always very happy. She thought about it. Although her grandfather was an old man, he was also a handsome old man. Perhaps Chu Xiang thought that her grandfather was good because of his appearance.
The few of them bickered and joked around. Their days were very enjoyable. Those cultivators who returned from the Blue Sea Domain spread the news that she was buying things. Every time, there would be people coming to the City Lord's Mansion to sell things to her. She accepted all of them. People were amazed by her wealth and were even more willing to sell to her. After all, she did not bargain and could buy all of them in one go. There was no need for them to run back and forth.
Chu Xiang had the materials. In her free time, she would instruct Jin Zhen to refine magic tools. The magic tools refined from her materials would naturally belong to her. However, Jin Zhen was instructed by her. Every time he focused on learning, he learned a lot. There were some magic tools that he had always wanted to refine but did not understand. After being instructed by Chu Xiang, he suddenly felt enlightened. He liked to stick to Chu Xiang more and more.
He wanted to worship Chu Xiang as his master. Chu Xiang did not accept him. However, he took care of all of Chu Xiang's matters. He was a late stage Gold Core Realm cultivator. No one in the City Lord's Mansion could beat him. Luo Yu and He Yunfei, the two brats, naturally could not compete with him. They could only look at him angrily.
Chu Xiang, on the other hand, thought that it was quite good. He was a Gold Core Realm cultivator. Therefore, he had a lot of good things. Chu Xiang would refine magic tools with him when she was free. She managed to get a lot of good things from him. He even thought that he was taking advantage of her. What a fool.
Chu Xiang stayed in the City Lord's Mansion for about ten days. He Feng finally gathered all of the medicinal plants that Chu Xiang wanted. Because of his great fanfare, the news that someone had treated his son's illness had spread to the ears of many family leaders.
There was nothing strange about treating someone's illness. However, as the news spread, there was also the news that the healer was the eldest sister of a hermit family. This made many people puzzled. Was there such a family on the South Shore? If there really was such a family, it must have been passed down for a long time. If they could find them and convince them to come out of seclusion, it would be a good thing for the entire South Shore.
Moreover, many families with suitable men in their families were tempted. If Lin Mu's identity was real, marrying such a daughter would be worth more than marrying the daughter of the Wei Family. Naturally, they would do something. If Lin Mu's identity was fake, once they found out that she had no backing, they could kill her and steal her treasures. With so many high-grade magic tools, even the Wei Family would be jealous.
Every time Luo Yu reported these rumors to Chu Xiang, Luo Yu would sometimes get angry. Chu Xiang, on the other hand, did not mind. When it came to having a backer, of course, she had to rely on herself. She was already slowly gathering the strength of the strong by her side. By the time those people reacted, it would be too late.
The most important thing now was to cure He Yunfei. Then, He Feng, the City Lord of Sea City, would not let anyone touch her.
