Chapter 361 - A Man Dreads Fame as a Pig Dreads Being Fat

Old Master Xiao stared blankly at Ling Chuxi, hardly believing his own ears. Such a young lady had cured him? He knew better than anyone else how overbearing the tyrannical force in his body was. This slender young lady before him had resolved all that? Her cultivation had actually reached that stage?

“Greetings, Master Xiao. I’m Xiao Tianfan’s friend,” Ling Chuxi said with a faint smile, not intending to reveal her own name. A man dreads being famous just like a pig dreads being fat. She did not want to be fat… Ah ptui! She did not want to be famous and get into a whole lot of trouble.

“Miss, I owe it to you for saving my life. The Xiao family might not be a noble family clan, but we do have a little ability. If Miss needs assistance, we, the Xiao Family would be honored to oblige.” After all, Old Master Xiao was the head of the clan, and he was a man of experience. He could easily guess Ling Chuxi’s intentions of talking in this manner .

Those words were spoken modestly, but they carried an intention of making an acquaintance. Of course he had already figured out Ling Chuxi’s cultivation, and he was shocked. At this age, with such cultivation and medical skills, how could he not see Ling Chuxi’s future potential? A person like this, regardless of their identity, should be befriended by all means. At the very least, they should definitely never become enemies.

“Respected father, I had sent out a message before this that if anyone could cure you, I would reward them with the inner core of the Level-9 monster beast which has been passed down in the Xiao Family for generations,” Xiao Gaode said carefully. The head of the family was Old Master Xiao, but before this, he had taken it upon himself to send out that message. Now that Old Master Xiao had awakened, he was afraid that his father would blame him. Hence, he was feeling a little anxious.

“Hahahaha, that monster beast core is such a waste in the hands of the Xiao Family. Giving it to this maiden could not be any more fitting.” Old Master Xiao already intended to make Ling Chuxi his acquaintance, so naturally he would not object to it.

Everyone’s eyes lit up as they wanted to catch a glimpse of what the legendary inner core of the monster beast looked like, but it was obvious that Old Master had no plans to give it to Ling Chuxi in front of so many people. One’s wealth should not be exposed. He could see that Ling Chuxi was trying to avoid trouble, and he did not want to cause her more trouble.

Xiao Tianfan looked at Ling Chuxi excitedly, then stood next to Ling Chuxi and said in a low voice, “Thank you.” His tone was filled with sincere gratitude.

Ling Chuxi only smiled, and did not say anything further. She had actually wanted to say thank you to Xiao Tianfan. If not for the unexpected results of administering needles to Old Master Xiao, how could her cultivation advance in such leaps and bounds?

At that moment, Xiao Tianwen was stupefied – utterly stupefied. She had never thought that Ling Chuxi could cure her grandfather, but what was even more unexpected was how the situation had turned out. Previously her words were targeted against Ling Chuxi, but now Ling Chuxi was going to be the guest of honor of the Xiao Family. What was she to do? Xiao Tianwen was afraid, and snuck to the back to hide. Ling Chuxi glanced at Xiao Tianwen indifferently and let out an inaudible sneer, but it was sufficient to make Xiao Tianwen tremble all over.

For a while, everyone in the house was congratulating Old Master Xiao on his recovery, but no one dared to step forward and cozy up to Ling Chuxi. Previously, everyone had looked down on her and insulted her, and now they felt that that they had completely lost their reputation before her. How could anyone be shameless enough to cozy up to her now?

“Everyone, thanks to your blessings, my father is now safe and sound. I have already ordered a banquet to be prepared. Everyone, please join us,” Xiao Gaode called out clearly.
