Chapter 70 - Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife

Chapter 70: Tai Family’s Demand "What brings you to my Xia Family, senior?" The person who arrived was Xia Changge's acquaintance, Tai Ming, the father of Tai Feng. "You have quite the audacity, kid, daring to snatch someone from my Tai Family?!" Tai Ming immediately came forward to accuse, taking the initiative. It was obvious that he intended to intimidate Xia Changge so that Xia Changge would follow his lead and become passive. Xia Changge remained unperturbed and calmly replied, "Senior, what do you mean? When did I snatch anyone from your Tai Family?" Ever since Xia Changge decided to take Li Na and Li You, he was prepared for Tai Family to come knocking on his door. He just didn't expect Tai Family to come so soon! But with his preparedness, Xia Changge would naturally not panic. Tai Ming sneered, "Don't play dumb with me. The two kids from Li's family were taken by you. No matter how you try to explain, that fact won't change. Hand them over and bring 3,000 spirit stones as compensation to Tai Family, and we can forgive your foolish actions!" This Tai Family really had big appetites. They not only wanted the people but also money. But that was normal. After all, in this society, might makes right. "Oh? You're talking about them? They are already my disciples now, and they were originally from Li Family. When did they become part of your Tai Family? Senior, aren't you being unreasonable?" Xia Changge had actually mentally prepared for this. He just didn't expect Tai Family's appetite to be this big. They wanted both the people and money! In the face of this, Xia Changge could only sigh and apologize to the already deceased Tai Feng who died by his hands. For his loved ones, Xia Changge was afraid he couldn't afford it. Today's discussion was bound to collapse. "What do you mean? Not planning to hand over the people?" Tai Ming's attitude made his intentions clear. Because Xia Changge was involved in his son's death, Tai Ming didn't plan to let Xia Changge go from the beginning. Not to mention that Xia Changge dared to snatch people from Tai Family. Given the chance, Tai Ming certainly wouldn't let this guy go. "Calm down, senior, don't be so angry. It's just two kids. With the vast Tai Family, do you really need to fuss over two children?" Xia Changge hinted at the vast background of Tai Family. The reason why he had such confidence was actually very simple. Though Tai Family had Foundation Establishment cultivators, they couldn't possibly be monitoring him outside Hua Ying Immortal Town, right? And Xia Changge wasn't afraid of cultivators below Foundation Establishment. He was about to reach the eighth level of Qi refining, his strength would take another step forward. He no longer needed to be as submissive as before. "Hehe, our Tai Family doesn't lack a couple of kids, but just because something belongs to our Tai Family, does it mean you can take it freely even if we don't want it?" They were just people trying to survive in this immortal town. But because Tai Family had great power, they acted so overbearingly. "People, I can return them. But for me to bring 3,000 spirit stones as compensation, senior, do you think my family can come up with that?" Xia Changge's tone seemed to express helplessness, as if he had chosen to submit. In the face of Xia Changge's self-deprecation, Tai Feng was greatly pleased. These weak ants should have this kind of awareness. "Spirit stones not enough? You have so many kids here, just gather them to make up the difference. Counting one child as ten spirit stones is a very fair price." With just a simple enticement like this, Tai Ming perhaps already knew Xia Changge's main objective. Indeed, he came for the Li siblings, but it wasn't just these two. It seemed that Tai Family had caught hold of some small loophole. Tai Family definitely did not think they exposed any flaws. After all, they couldn't possibly imagine that Xia Changge, a mere seventh level Qi refining cultivator, possessed a means to delve into the spiritual world of Qi refining cultivators. Presently, Xia Changge had more than forty children with spiritual roots. Even if they followed Tai Family's words, how much would these children be worth in spirit stones? "That won't do, senior. Our Xia Family only has a few hundred spirit stones saved up." Xia Changge once again expressed his helplessness. Whether Tai Ming showed mercy because of Xia Changge's plea or further oppressed him, it could be counted as stepping up the pressure, revealing his true ugly side, and arrogantly said, "That's your problem. If you can't pay, then owe it slowly. Consider it a lesson for yourself!" As he spoke, Tai Ming even carried a hint of an educating tone. "This... won't work. Although these children have no blood relationship with me, they are all my disciples, my students. How can I sell them off?" Xia Changge's tone was very firm. What would he become if he did that? He would let down the expectations of these children's parents. What would differentiate him from a slave trader? Knowing that Tai Family was a pit, he still sent these children with him. What a beastly act? This was something Xia Changge couldn't allow himself to do. "Oh? What do you mean?" Tai Ming also understood the meaning behind Xia Changge's words. Wasn't it just trying to reduce the amount owed because it was too much? Since it was all extortion anyway, he wouldn't lose anything. Tai Ming now also wanted to see what tricks Xia Changge could come up with. "Unless... senior can offer 200 spirit stones for each child, otherwise, I won't bear to give them up." Xia Changge stated his purpose. Tai Ming's expression changed instantly, "Kid, do you know you're seeking death?" This kid, he even dared to defy their Tai Family? He didn't even know how to write the word "death," did he? "Seeking death? So, if I follow senior's suggestion, then it wouldn't be seeking death? Several thousand spirit stones, senior's appetite is so big, are you trying to make my Xia Family bear it for generations?" To be honest, if Tai Ming really offered 200 spirit stones for each child, Xia Changge wasn't sure if he could resist the temptation. That would be too much, almost 10,000 spirit stones at once! Xia Changge didn't think that many ordinary loose cultivators like himself could resist such temptation. But of course, Xia Changge also knew that Tai Ming would never agree to his request. "Fine, since you have some ability, let's form a good relationship. Hand over the children to be nurtured by my Tai Family, and consider this matter resolved." In the end, Tai Ming backed down. Tai Ming's retreat was naturally a success for Xia Changge. He just leisurely sipped his tea, not caring about Tai Ming's expression now. This finally made Tai Ming slam the table fiercely. Xia Changge's wooden table was shattered by the impact! "Seize him!" If someone dared to lay a hand on Xia Changge in his own home, how could Xia Changge tolerate him? At this moment, Xia Changge had been waiting for him for a long time. "What!" Tai Ming never expected that Xia Changge would dare to lay hands on him? (The end of this chapter)
