Chapter 85.2
Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son
Not long after Tan Eyu disappeared, Han Wei arrived at Hejia Village. Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi stood at the door waiting in advance. Only when they saw him clearly did they realize that Han Wei was now a fourth-level acquired warrior.
âBrother Li, Iâve been waiting for you,â Han Wei said with a relieved smile upon seeing Li Tianyan. In the past few months, Han Wei had been staying in towns near Hejia Village because he was afraid of missing news about the two of them.
âWhy are you so anxious to find me, Brother Han?â Li Tianyan asked, after hearing what the two ghosts had said earlier, he suspecting that Han Weiâs news might also be related to the imperial court.
Han Wei did not boast, and as soon as he sat down, he explained everything to them. It turned out that Han Wei advanced to the fourth level and shined in the warrior conference, and then he joined the crown princeâs camp.
However, after the break between the Crown Prince and General Mu, the plan was postponed. As a result, the Holy Emperor advanced to the sixth level, and the Crown Prince was suppressed without any room for breathing. Even the status of the Crown Prince was shaky, let alone the possibility of seizing the throne.
If it had been just like that, Han Wei wouldnât have dared to disturb Li Tianyan. It wasnât until he learned that the Holy Emperorâs advancement was due to taking some kind of pills, so Han Wei became so anxious to find him.
âYou mean Yiyuan Pill?â Li Tianyan heard what Han Wei said, which seemed to confirm his guess.
âHis Royal Highness the Crown Prince stole a pill from the Holy One. I noticed that the color and smell of the pill were exactly the same as the Yiyuan Pill that Brother Li gave me. I would like to take the liberty to ask if Brother Li had a brother from the same master?â Han Wei asked Li Tianyan tentatively.
Not only was the pill refined by the Imperial Master exactly the same as that of Li Tianyanâs, but there were also many similarities with Li Tianyan himself, which made people suspect that the two came from the same sect. However, Li Tianyan looked like he had the Tao righteousness, and he didnât look like someone who was colluding with the evil concubine.
âThatâs a fake brother.â Li Tianyan cursed in his heart, and then asked Han Wei, âDid that person have no vitality at all?â
âYes, like Brother Li, although he had no vitality, he could not be underestimatedâ¦â What Han Wei didnât finish was that the man had the same weird abilities as Li Tianyan.
âNow that His Highness the Crown Prince is claiming to be ill, many people think it is to temporarily avoid the spotlight. In fact, the Crown Prince is really suffering from a strange disease. Now the court is almost controlled by the evil concubine and the Imperial Master. These two people have brutally killed many of their loyal ministers.â
âThis man is not a fellow brother of mine,â Li Tianyan smiled coldly on his face, âI wonder if Brother Han can recommend me. I want to meet this prince.â
âOf course,â Han Wei really wanted to win Li Tianyan into the crown princeâs camp, but he didnât know how to say it. When Li Tianyan took the initiative to talk about it, he nodded readily.
Without further ado, Han Wei struck while the iron was hot and said, âThen Iâll prepare the carriage first, and Iâll pick up Brother Li and go to the capital tomorrow morning.â
But Li Tianyan shook his head, âBrother Han, write me a letter of recommendation. We will set off tonight and go to the capital to wait for you.â
Calculating the date, today was the eighteenth. Hejia Village was located in a remote area and was far away from the capital. If they took a carriage to get to the capital, it would take at least ten days. He didnât know how many innocent women and fetuses would be killed by then. Although it wouldnât happened in a day or two, it was okay if he didnât know about it before. But right, he already knew the situation, he couldnât just ignore it.
Han Wei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he reached out and touched his pocket and said to Li Tianyan, âBrother Li, wait for me for a moment. I will go back to get the seal.â
.
After Han Wei left Cheng Qi spoke. âYoung master, have you guessed who the Imperial Master is?â
âWhat do you think?â Li Tianyan turned his head and looked at Cheng Qi, wanting to hear what he said first.
A determined smile appeared on Cheng Qiâs face, âHe used the young masterâs pill to pretend that he refined it himself. Such a shameless behavior is in line with the behavior of the cultivator who sells fake medicine.â
âNot bad,â Li Tianyan said, patting the top of Cheng Qiâs head very appreciatively.
The Hou family was besieged, but no one had ever heard of the fake cultivatorâs whereabouts. Li Tianyan had already suspected that he had escaped. Now that he heard about this Imperial Master, he was the first thing Li Tianyan thought of.
âYoung master, you canât pat me on the head anymore; I am no longer a child.â Cheng Qi held his head and avoided Li Tianyanâs hand. The young master hadnât changed this habit yet. When he was young it was fine, but now he was already grown up.
âHaha, how big could you be?â Li Tianyanâs eyes swept around Cheng Qiâs body several times. The two of them had been together for so long and he still didnât notice it. When he said this, Li Tianyan realized that Cheng Qi had really grown a lot. He was no longer the little shuanger he used to be.
Cheng Qiâs face turned red after being asked, but he didnât forget to emphasize, âItâs enough to be a wife.â@@novelbin@@
âWife, are you hinting something to your husband?â Li Tianyan saw his blush, with a teasing look on his face, he joked.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Qi didnât refute his words this time. He just stared at the roof and muttered in a low voice, âAnyway, the young master kissed me and accepted my kiss.â
âAhem!â Li Tianyan said in a low voice. Cheng Qi was suddenly so direct, but Li Tianyan felt a little embarrassed and coughed a few times to change the subject.
Just when Cheng Qi thought he wouldnât get a reply from Li Tianyan, he suddenly heard him say, âWait until the foundation is established.â
âYoung master, can you say it again?â Cheng Qi blinked, a little doubtful if he heard wrong just now. When he turned to look at Li Tianyan, he realized that the manâs ears were so red that they looked like they were bleeding. Could it be that the young master was shy.
Li Tianyan was too shy to repeat it again. Fortunately, Han Wei came back in time, which saved him from embarrassment.
Note:
Remember that fake cultivator from Zhenlan Peak who sold bad pills and poisoned a lot of people, including Guan Haoran. Thatâs the Imperial Master guy.
Anyway, I know Cheng Qi is super young but they wouldnât have intimate relationship until he reached 17, I think, I kinda forgot. And again, this is ancient setting, people get married super early.
