Chapter 1139 - 767: Letting the Fan Family Be the Scapegoat Is Just Right!

Ji Linfeng held the jade token, lost in thought.

Ji De’an hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandfather, actually, the most anxious ones right now should be the Fan family!"

"What are you thinking?"

"The Fan family definitely won’t tolerate the Yang family’s winery; we just need to watch and see!" Ji De’an said.

Ji Linfeng nodded slightly, "Indeed, this matter requires cautious handling. Let the Fan family take the lead!"

Then he lowered his head to look at the wine jars in front of him, "However, we should still buy more of this Hundred Fruit Brew!"

"At this price! I reckon the Yang family won’t give us such a cheap price again!" Ji De’an said.

"Aren’t they offering a grand opening special, half price for the whole store?" Ji Linfeng said.

"Understood, Grandson will arrange for someone to buy it tomorrow!" Ji De’an said.

"Yes, not just the Hundred Fruit Brew, buy some other spiritual wines too, they’re perfect for the younger generations in the family!" Ji Linfeng said.

"Got it!"

...

In the tailor shop next door to the Yang family’s winery.

Lady Cui stayed beside her son, watching as he drank the spiritual wine she bought today, entering a cultivation state, her heart full of anticipation.

Lady Cui’s husband has the surname Cheng, and people call him Second Master Cheng.

Second Master Cheng wasn’t originally a tailor; the tailoring skills are Lady Cui’s family tradition. Don’t underestimate these skills; Lady Cui’s tailoring isn’t just ordinary stitching but sewing talismanic robes.

These talismanic robes are not considered armor but possess special effects like not gathering dust, being less prone to damage, and having a certain level of protection.

Of course, Lady Cui also has the skills to make leather armor, which is the reason they can survive in Snow Valley Town, and afford to rent a shop.

Second Master Cheng once went hunting in the mountains, encountered a powerful mutant beast, and narrowly survived but lost an arm.

Thus, over the years, Second Master Cheng and Lady Cui have been running this tailor shop to make a living.

Actually, their life is quite good; they have no worry about food and drink and are considered wealthy in Snow Valley Town.

But there’s one problem that has been troubling them all along.

Their son is over fifty but still hasn’t broken through to the Innate Realm.

In Snow Valley Town, if you don’t reach Innate, you can’t support your family.

Moreover, if you don’t reach Innate, it’s hard to live beyond eighty, and sooner or later they will face the tragedy of white-haired parents sending off their black-haired child.

To help their son break through to the Innate Realm, the couple has spent countless efforts over the years, used up their savings to buy all kinds of elixirs and cultivation resources, even purchased Ice Soul Spirit Wine from the Fan family several times.

But the results have been ineffective!

Their son has been stuck at the Half-step Innate for nearly eight years without breaking through.

Today, Lady Cui swiftly bought so much Peach Blossom Brew, hoping it would help her son break through.

She’s already decided, if Peach Blossom Brew doesn’t work, she’ll buy some Hundred Fruit Brew tomorrow. Whether it’s effective or not, she’ll just try it!

Second Master Cheng was holding his little grandson, waiting outside the Quiet Chamber, while Lady Cui, after seeing her son enter cultivation state, gently walked out of the Quiet Chamber.

The couple exchanged a glance, and everything was understood without words.

They didn’t dare to speak, fearing they might disturb their son’s cultivation.

Pitiful are the hearts of parents in the world!

For their son to become an Innate Martial Artist, the old couple has poured almost all their life’s savings into it.

At this moment, they waited with expectations and nervousness.
