47: Chapter 47 Xiao Tian: This is my first time too.
Su Xin was dragged out the door by Xiao Tian in a daze.
It was simply because the amount of Spirit Stones his father had promised him had shocked him.
How could his father still have so many Spirit Stones?
Hadn't he already spent most of them?
"Since Father gave that number, he must be able to produce it. This is the confidence Father is giving you. Brother Xin, you just need to negotiate with Mandarin Duck Pavilion with peace of mind and boldness!"
Xiao Tian wasn't jealous at all; he was even counseling Su Xin.
Su Xin took a deep breath to steady his mind.
"Brother Tian, the Spirit Stones for redeeming my mother should be deducted from my pocket money!" He didn't want to take such a huge advantage either.
Xiao Tian put his arm around Su Xin's shoulder and pulled him close. "We have other brothers and sisters. Father's Spirit Stones are also meant for them; I cannot refuse on their behalf."
"However, in the future, we will share my pocket money. You are not allowed to refuse. I am happy to do it!"
Su Xin was very touched and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Xiao Tian laughed generously, "Let's go. Let's head to the Cloud Carriage Service and see if there are any flying boats going to Qingyun City. If not, we'll buy a Yao Beast for transportation."
Su Xin was dragged along just like that, without struggling at all.
The two brothers headed toward the Cloud Carriage Service, unaware that as soon as they left the door, the news of their trip to Qingyun City had already been delivered to Jin Fugui.
At that moment, Jin Fugui was lying on the delicate white legs of a beauty, enjoying the service of the beauty leaning over to feed him spirit fruits.
A paper crane flew through the Formation and Restriction to arrive in front of Jin Fugui. He raised an eyebrow slightly, tapped with his chubby white fingertip, and channeled his spiritual power into it.
Upon hearing the message from the paper crane, he sat up instantly.
"Young Master Jin, why the rush..."
The beautiful woman thought Jin Fugui was being impatient, so she sensibly leaned toward him, pressing her soft chest into Jin Fugui's arms, rubbing against him with a calculated intent.
Feeling that softness and smoothness against his chest, Jin Fugui exerted a little force and pushed the beauty away.
"I have to be in a rush. If my two younger brothers run into trouble on the way to Qingyun City, Uncle Luo will come looking for me to settle the score."
Indeed, the person who could pass information about Xiao Tian and Su Xin's movements to Jin Fugui so quickly was naturally Luo Yunkai.
Upon learning the story of Jin Fugui's great-grandparents from Su Xin, Luo Yunkai knew exactly what Jin Fugui was planning.
It was nothing more than wanting to take a small revenge and dig at the Foundation of the Mandarin Duck Pavilion.
The Mandarin Duck Pavilion was indeed a behemoth, but a thousand-mile embankment could collapse because of an ant nest.
For the sake of his sons, Luo Yunkai could cooperate, but at the same time, Jin Fugui had to protect the safety of his two sons.
This was the tacit understanding between the two!
No matter how much Jin Fugui liked beauties, he had to get off the beauty's bed immediately and go to meet the Xiao Tian brothers.
Cloud Carriage Service.
Xiao Tian was casually draping his arm around Su Xin's neck and was just about to enter when he heard a familiar call from behind.
"Brother Tian, Brother Xin, why are you at the Cloud Carriage Service?"
Xiao Tian turned his head, saw Jin Fugui walking toward them, and waved his hand.
"Oh, it's Big Brother Jin. We are planning to go to Qingyun City. Big Brother Jin, what brings you here?"
Su Xin, however, wasn't as thick-skinned as Xiao Tian; he looked at Jin Fugui with caution and wariness in his eyes.
First telling them such a story, and now appearing here just at the right time—who would believe that he hadn't sent people to watch them?
Jin Fugui had long been prepared to be suspected by Su Xin, but he pretended not to notice, wearing an expression of understanding. "You're going to the Mandarin Duck Pavilion, right?"
"I heard that the Mandarin Duck Pavilion is currently selecting a Pavilion Master to establish a branch in Yunyin Market. The candidate should be chosen within these two days to come to Yunyin Market to build the branch. If you wait a few more days, you'll be able to see the Mandarin Duck Pavilion built right here in Yunyin Market. There's no need to rush, right?"
"You should know that leaving the market now is not safe."
He put on an air of sincere advice, which really left Su Xin a bit confused.
But he trusted his own judgment.
"Big Brother Jin, you wouldn't happen to be going to Qingyun City right now, would you?"
Xiao Tian looked from one to the other, deep in thought.
Jin Fugui waved his hand. "That's not it. The Cloud Carriage Service is one of my Duobao Tower's properties. I'm here to inspect the business."
Su Xin was surprised. The Cloud Carriage Service was actually a property of Duobao Tower?
Duobao Tower was even more powerful than he had imagined.
His heart felt heavy.
Even Duobao Tower had to pay a huge price to take one person from the Mandarin Duck Pavilion. Could he really persuade the Mandarin Duck Pavilion to let his mother go?
Su Xin suddenly lost the desire to probe into Jin Fugui's motives.
Although Xiao Tian was carefree, he was exceptionally sensitive to emotional changes.
Sensing that Su Xin was in a bad mood, he took over the task of chatting with Jin Fugui.
Jin Fugui breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't that sharp Su Xin; Xiao Tian was obviously much easier to fool.
By the time Jin Fugui also sat on the back of the Yao Beast the brothers had bought for transportation, Xiao Tian hadn't even reacted.
How did Jin Fugui come along too?
Although Su Xin was in low spirits, he didn't ignore external information. He also believed that traveling with Jin Fugui would guarantee their safety, which was why he didn't voice any objection.
This was the first time Jin Fugui had traveled by riding a Yao Beast.
Standing on the Wind Eagle's back, feeling the hurricane stirred up by the flapping of its wings blowing his robes and hair into a wild dance, Jin Fugui's eyes were blank.
The Young Master had never been this disheveled!
Xiao Tian saw that Jin Fugui's chubby face was somewhat distorted by the wind, yet he was still standing there trying to maintain his dignity. He quickly reached out, pulled him down, and sat him on the Wind Eagle's black feathered back.
After sitting down, the Wind Eagle's moving feathers blocked most of the wind, and the situation improved immediately.
"Big Brother Jin, have you been blown silly?" Xiao Tian teased unceremoniously.
Jin Fugui smiled awkwardly, "It's my first time traveling by Yao Beast, I'm not quite used to it."
Xiao Tian looked at Jin Fugui as if he were looking at the silly son of a landlord. "I'm also a first-timer, and even I know to sit down and hide from the wind."
Jin Fugui was speechless.
He muttered, "I should have insisted on taking the flying boat."
Xiao Tian shrugged. "Big Brother Jin, we've only just left Yunyin Market. It's not too late to change your mind; I can have the Wind Eagle take you back."
Jin Fugui was dejected. "But you guys aren't taking the flying boat with me."
"It was my father who told you we were going to Qingyun City, right?" Su Xin suddenly spoke up.
Jin Fugui nodded subconsciously, then froze halfway through.
Oh well, he had confessed without being asked.
Su Xin confirmed his suspicion, and instead, he stopped looking at Jin Fugui with wary eyes.
To be precise, the way Su Xin looked at Jin Fugui now was like looking at a sucker who was exhausting himself for no reason.
Jin Fugui coughed lightly. "I am just coming with you to watch the fun at the Mandarin Duck Pavilion... Watch out!"
Sensing danger with his Divine Sense, Jin Fugui gave a warning and, without a second word, threw out a Level 3 Golden Essence Formation Plate, shielding the entire Wind Eagle.
The Wind Eagle, which had been a bit panicked due to the perceived danger, sensed the protection and immediately flapped its wings, stabilizing its flight.
"Clang!"
A hundred-foot sword light landed on the Golden Essence Shield. The two energies collided, erupting with a powerful shockwave.
"Screech!"
The Wind Eagle let out a miserable screech and was knocked backward by the shockwave of the two forces.
Fortunately, it wasn't injured. The Wind Eagle flapped its wings and stabilized itself again.
Jin Fugui stared at the source of the sword light, shedding his gentle, magnanimous, and kind exterior, his voice icy.
"Fairy Miaojian, you actually dare to come!"
