Ch57 - Rune City

Hearing his lover’s words, Jiang Xu frowned. “So many things to buy? Then, do we still have to sell the medicinal pills?”

“En,I plan to sell two-thirds of the medicinal pills I have. In addition, I will also dispose of all the first-class spiritual herbs and seeds in my hand. In this case, I should be able to get some spirit stones. We only have enough. I need spirit stones to buy the spiritual plants to refine some pills we need. As for the magic talismans, I will find another way to get them.” Speaking of which, Liu Mufeng touched his chin.

“Think of another way? What do you want to do?” Looking at his husband, Jiang Xu asked curiously.

“I want to take a trip to Rune City. I will directly exchange with the City Lord of Rune City for a batch of magic talismans.” If that’s the case, he could save a lot of spirit stones.

Selling medicinal pills would not be enough for buying magic talismans. Besides, he wanted to keep the spiritual water in the lake at its maximum energy. Half of the spiritual stones he had earned had been filled into the lake. Therefore, Liu Mufeng did not have many spirit stones in his hand.

“Exchange? What would you exchange with him? Medicinal pills?” Looking at his husband, Jiang Xu asked in confusion.

“No. Medicinal pills would not be enough to buy the magic talismans that we can use for ten years. Such a large number of magic talismans will cost at least tens of millions of spirit stones. Therefore, it is impossible to exchange medicinal pills. However, as far as I know, the City Lord of Rune City has an only son who is a three-spiritual root cultivator.”

Jiang Xu’s eyes widened in shock. “You, do you want to help him wash his spiritual roots? Will there be any danger in doing it? What if they don’t believe us? What if they default on their bill?”

“Don’t worry, I have my way. They won’t default on the bill.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng raised the corner of his mouth.

“Then, it’s not too late. Are we going to Rune City tomorrow? We will just sell all the medicinal pills in our hands along the way.” Jiang Xu said positively, looking at his lover.

“No way! We just got married, and we have to stay at home for our honeymoon. Anyway, there is plenty of time, so don’t worry about this time.”Are you kidding? Why would he leave home now? He had been a bachelor for two lifetimes and finally married a wife. How could he leave home now?

Hearing his lover say that, Jiang Xu blushed. “But……”

“No buts. We must stay at home for now. If we don’t get most of our time together now, we will have no chance when we are in the secret realm.” They might be staying in the secret realm for ten years, and the danger would be knocking all the time. It would be difficult to find time for each other. Not to mention the couple are in love.

“En, that’s true.” Jiang Xu naturally understood that when they arrived in the secret realm, they would not be able to live a stable life as they were having now.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu was stunned. His heart muttered, ‘Is this what Mufeng meant when he said he found a way? To pretend to be the grandson of the City Lord of Black Dragon City? Will this work? Won’t it be revealed to be fake?’

A jade plaque or waist plaque was a small jade identification plaque provided by the head of a family to his direct blood relatives. This plaque was imprinted with the bearer’s name and the crest of the Patriarch of the family, unique to other families.

“Yes.” Said Liu Mufeng as he took out the jade plaque he hung on his waist and handed it to the guard.

“Please wait a moment. I’ll report it now.” After taking Liu Mufeng’s waist plaque, the guard turned around and left.

Jiang Xu tugged at Liu Mufeng’s sleeve uneasily, seeing the guards leave, Jiang Xu sent a voice transmission, “Mufeng, where did you get your waist plaque? Is it an imitation?”

Hearing his lover’s curiosity, Liu Mufeng smiled. “No, that is an heirloom left to me by my mother. It is a real jade plaque, not an imitation, and I am indeed the grandson of the City Lord of Black Dragon City. So this identity is also true. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Jiang Xu was shocked when he got such an answer. “You? You are really the grandson of the City Lord of Black Dragon City. Then why didn’t you go to your grandfather?”

“Back then, my mother was kicked out of the family by my grandfather because she chose my father. Later, when I was five years old, both my parents died. My Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle came to Shuangyang Town to care for my parents’ funeral. They checked my spiritual root and found that I was a five spiritual root, so they threw me in the Liu family and didn’t care about me anymore.”

Hearing Liu Mufeng’s remarks, Jiang Xu was stunned and then became angry. “They’re too much. How can they do this to you? Just because you have five spiritual roots, they don’t care about you. It’s too much.”

“It’s alright,XiaoXu, it’s all over.” Raising his hand, Liu Mufeng smiled and stroked his lover’s hair who had a look of disapproval on his face. Anyway, he was not the original owner, and this matter has nothing to do with him.

“Mufeng!” Looking at his lover, Jiang Xu felt very distressed. A while ago, he thought Mufeng was lying. Unexpectedly, his beloved actually had such a powerful grandfather. Even more unexpected was that the Wang family actually didn’t care and ignored this grandson when he lost his parents. How can this be so? After all, Mufeng had half the blood of the Wang family. How could the Wang family treat a five-year-old child with no father or mother like this?

“It’s alright.” Then, holding his beloved’s hand, Liu Mufeng smiled and comforted him.

“Hmmpp!” Looking at his Mufeng with distress, Jiang Xu secretly swore in his heart that he must take good care of his Mufeng. The Liu family assigned Mufeng to farm in a small village because they had no eyes. The Wang family ignored Mu Feng because they didn’t know his talent. His Mufeng is the best. If the two families don’t want Mufeng, Jiang Xu wants him, and Mufeng has his love and affection. He doesn’t care about their charity and sympathy at all.

After waiting for almost a cup of tea at the door, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu were invited into the City Lord’s Mansion by an old man who looked like a housekeeper.

When he arrived at the main hall, Liu Mufeng saw a middle-aged man in a colorful Chinese clothes and a resolute appearance sitting on the main sea. Beside him sat a young master. Come to think of it, these two are the City Lord Xue Gang and the Young City Master Xue Hao.

“Meeting the City Lord and Young City Lord!” Bowing their heads, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu gave a profound salute.

Hearing this, Xue Gang smiled and waved his hand. “Nephew Liu, you’re welcome. This is your waist plaque?” Xue Gang handed over the waist plaque.

“Yes.” In response, Liu Mufeng took the plaque.

“Your name is Liu Mufeng?” Staring at Liu Mufeng, Xue Gang looked him up and down. Even though Liu Mufeng had a hidden jade on his body, Xue Gang could still feel some spiritual aura. More or less, he guessed that this person should be in the Spiritual Mortal Realm cultivation.

“Yes, my name is Liu Mufeng. This is my Dao companion – Jiang Xu.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng introduced his beloved beside him.

“Oh? It turned out to be Jiang Xu, the famous cultivation genius in Jialan City.”

Hearing Jiang Xu’s name, Xue Gang couldn’t help but raise his brows. He heard that there were three young geniuses in Jialan City, namely Xiao Zhantian from the Xiao family, Meng Shishi from the Meng family, and Jiang Xu from the Jiang family. He also heard that this Jiang Xu was a single golden spiritual root. At the age of ten, he was already a sword cultivator on Nine Stars of the Spiritual Realm. Therefore, his cultivation aptitude was extremely high.

Hearing the word “genius”, Xue Hao looked at Jiang Xu with jealousy. “What genius, he’s just an abandoned son of the Jiang family.”

“Hey, Hao‘er, don’t be rude!” Looking at his son, Xue Gang scolded coldly.

“It doesn’t matter. What the Young City Master said is also true. I am no longer from the Jiang family. I am now Liu Mufeng’s wife and have nothing to do with the Jiang family.” Looking at Xue Hao, Jiang Xu said indifferently.‘It’s enough for him to have Mufeng. What’s so great about the Jiang family? Even if they invite him back now, he still doesn’t want to.’

Hearing this, Xue Gang smiled. “My family Hao‘eris spoiled by me. I hope the two nephews don’t take offense, hurry up and sit down.”

“Thank you, City Lord.” Bowing his head to thank, Liu Mufeng took Jiang Xu’s hand and sat on the chair beside him.

“Fellow Daoist Liu announced that he is the grandson of the City Lord of Black Dragon City. But as far as I know, nineteen years ago, your mother, Miss Wang Yudie, the Seventh Lady of Black Dragon City, was expelled from the house by the City Lord. He cut off the father-daughter relationship. I don’t know if there is such a thing?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Xue Hao asked aggressively.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng nodded calmly. “Yes, that’s true.”

Seeing Liu Mufeng’s indifferent appearance, Xue Hao snorted in disdain. “Since your mother was kicked out of the house early, why did you come here and say something brazenly that you are the grandson of the City Lord of Black Dragon City? Don’t you think that is too shameful?”

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng laughed softly. “Young City Master, my mother did have some unpleasantness with my grandfather. However, how could a father and a daughter have an overnight feud? Even when my mother was expelled from the house, my grandfather’s family letter was not broken. My Fourth Aunt, the wife of the Young City Master of the Fang family, also often walks with my Liu family. Although my mother was kicked out of the house, my grandfather never said that he would cut off the relationship with me? So, I am still the grandson of the Wang family, right?”

“You, you are arguing!” Staring at Liu Mufeng, Xue Hao said unhappily.

“Nephew Liu dared to come to see me today as the grandson of the Black Dragon City Lord. So presumably, you and your grandfather have reunited, right?” Smiling, Xue Gang asked tentatively.

“Yes, the City Lord is right. I returned to the Black Dragon City when I was fourteen, and my grandfather had already recognized me. And in the East of Black Dragon City, he set up a house for me to let me cultivate well and wait for the opening of the secret realm of Cang Mountain.” Liu Mufeng said half-truth.

Jiang Xu twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this. ‘His Mufeng is really smart. They have indeed lived in Black Dragon City for four years! This is the truth. Even if City Lord Xue sent someone to investigate, he would not be able to find any flaws.’
