Ch38 - Cousins

Edited by Elanor and Hanamichi

Hearing that somewhat familiar voice, Liu Mufeng unconsciously touched his face and muttered in his heart, ‘I’m glad we came here in disguise. Otherwise, it will be troublesome!’

Turning around, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu looked at the person who came and saw that the person was not someone unknown. The group of four were none other than Liu Mufeng’s elder cousin, Liu Cheng, and his fourth cousin, Liu Zhen’er. His fifth cousin, Liu Wan’er, and her husband, Qiao Xiang, were also with them.

Seeing these four people, Liu Mufeng twitched the corners of his mouth. Suddenly, he remembered that the original owner’s fifth cousin, Liu Wan’er, was married to the third son of the Town Lord of Sixi Town, Qiao Xiang. So, did the Eldest brother and fourth sister come here to visit relatives? Or did they come to Sixi Town for other things?

“This spiritual plant, we chose it first!” Glaring at Liu Zhen’er, Jiang Xu said unhappily.

Hearing this, Liu Zhen’er snorted in disdain. “Hmph, do you know who I am? You dare to talk to me like that, I’ll tell you, I’m…”

“This fellow Daoist, I’m really sorry, my fourth sister just contracted a beast pet and urgently needs this Lime Grass. I wonder if fellow Daoist can give in?” Qiao Xiang said politely as he stepped forward.

Hearing Qiao Xiang’s words, the faces of the three brothers and sisters of the Liu family turned pale. Qiao Xiang had the strength of two stars in the Spiritual Mortal Realm. Therefore, the person whom he called a Daoist friend must also be a Spiritual Mortal Realm cultivator. So, were they trying to snatch the spiritual plant from a Spiritual Mortal Realm practitioner?

“This…” Turning his head to the side, Jiang Xu glanced intently at Liu Mufeng, who had been silent all the time beside him.

“Forget it, cousin, let’s go!” Pulling Jiang Xu, Liu Mufeng hurriedly left with him. He didn’t want to be recognized by the original owner’s cousins and cousin-in-law. If they did, it would be troublesome. Now, he had the strength of the Seven Stars of the Spiritual Realm. If he was recognized by these lot, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

“Oh!” Hearing Liu Mufeng calling him cousin, Jiang Xu was stunned, and he followed him away.

“Third Young Master, Third Young Madam. Two Master Liu!” Bending down, the female shop clerk hurriedly saluted.

“Don’t be too polite. Put this Lime Grass on my account!” After speaking, Qiao Xiang reached out and took the spiritual plant.

“Yes, Third Young Master!” In response, the female shop clerk respectfully watched the four of them leave the consignment shop and whispered in her heart, ‘It’s really unfortunate, if the spiritual plant was sold, she could also get a share, but now, it was actually being sold on credit.’

After leaving the consignment shop, the group of four went to the restaurant opposite the shop. They asked for a private room and chatted while eating.

“Fourth Sister, you are too reckless. You don’t even know what other people are capable of, so how dare you compete with them for the spiritual plant?” Glancing at Liu Zhen’er, Liu Cheng reprimanded unhappily.

“I, I didn’t expect him to be in the Spiritual Mortal Realm!” The cultivator looked younger than herself. His appearance was plain and didn’t look like a Spiritual Mortal Realm cultivator.

“Big brother, don’t blame Fourth Sister. It’s not a big deal!” With a wave of his hand, Qiao Xiang smiled and helped Liu Zhen’er to make peace.

“Brother-in-law, it’s fortunate that you have such a keen eye. Otherwise, this time, we’d be in trouble!” Speaking of this, Liu Cheng glanced at Qiao Xiang gratefully.

Qiao Xiang was the son of the Town Lord of Sixi Town. He was handsome, strong and had a good family background. The Fifth Sister took a lot of effort to successfully become Qiao Xiang’s wife! If the Fourth sister had half the skills of the Fifth sister, she could also find such a powerful in-law as her future family.

“Big brother is praising me too much. The other party was just giving my father some face!” In Sixi Town, everyone would give him three points of thin noodles more or less. However, it wouldn’t work if he were in a different town. Needless to say, the temperament of this cousin Zhen’er was really despicable!

“Fifth Sister, what are you thinking about?” Liu Cheng asked curiously, looking at the thoughtful sister sitting beside Qiao Xiang.

“Big brother, I think the back of one of those two people we just met at the consignment shop looks a bit like our Ninth Brother!” Speaking of this, Liu Wan’er squinted her eyes. In fact, not only the back but also the sound of his voice. If it weren’t because there was a Spiritual Mortal Realm cultivator by his side, she would have asked.

“Little Ninth Brother? How is it possible? Isn’t he cultivating in the family residence? How could he come here?” Opening her mouth, Liu Zhen’er just wanted to say a little trash, but Qiao Xiang was with them, so she swallowed it again.

“Yeah, the Ninth Brother has cultivated very hard and often in seclusion in the family residence, so he probably won’t come to Sixi Town.” ‘The little trash is in Zhang Village. How could he be here? It must be the Fifth Sister who was confused.’

“Yeah, that’s true too!” Nodding, Liu Wan’er agreed and thought to herself, ‘Did the Eldest Brother and Fourth Sister really think she didn’t know? My mother told me in the letter that my Ninth Brother had been driven to a poor village by his uncle long ago. So how could he still be in the family?’
