Chapter 42.1

“What Brother Li said is indeed very possible. You can attack your opponent and collect money at the same time. It really kills two birds with one stone,” Guan Haoran thought that this was the case. If these two people were not sent back early, then people probably wouldn’t give up so easily.

“After this incident comes out, Brother Li’s alchemy pavilion may be affected.” Guan Haoran looked worried. The number of people buying medicinal pills had obviously decreased a lot in the past few days.

“It doesn’t matter if the business is not good; I just need to take care of it slowly,” Li Tianyan said, bowing his hands to Guan Haoran.@@novelbin@@

If the Alchemy Pavilion hadn’t been in the name of the Guan family, someone would have taken the opportunity to come and make trouble. Now that the business was quieter, he could do something else. Thinking of this, Li Tianyan thought it was time to retreat for a while.

“Brother Li, you’re welcome. I get 10% of your profit for free,” Guan Haoran didn’t expect Li Tianyan’s medicinal pill to be priced so high at first. Plus, the business had been booming, and his monthly dividend was calculated. He could earn tens of thousands of taels, which was more than what he earned from his own store.

“Young Master Guan has also helped a lot; how can you say it’s for nothing?” Li Tianyan shook his head and said with a smile; Guan Haoran did a lot of publicity for him.

The two of them chatted for a few words, but Guan Haoran smelled the fragrance coming from outside the hall and couldn’t help but sniff hard, “It smells so fragrant. Did Brother Li invite a chef to cook?”

“Hahaha, I did invite the chef to help with guidance,” Li Tianyan laughed twice.

Ever since Tan Eyu summoned that chef, Cheng Qi and Xiao Liu had been busy learning cooking skills every day, and they had really done well recently. That Yin Zhong seemed to be a bit addicted to cooking and would show off to them from time to time, all his specialty dishes.

He didn’t know why Cheng Qi was so obsessed with cooking, but the food had tasted better recently, so it didn’t seem to be a bad thing. Thinking of this, Li Tianyan simply invited Guan Haoran, “Young Master Guan, why don’t you stay with me at noon? Let’s eat together.”

“Then this Guan won’t be polite,” Guan Haoran agreed shamelessly. The smell was indeed so tempting that he couldn’t move his legs.

.

When Cheng Qi brought the lunch dishes to the table one by one, Guan Haoran’s eyes almost straightened, and he couldn’t help but sigh, “Brother Li, it looks so delicious.”

Li Tianyan looked at Cheng Qi, “Today’s dishes seem to be a little different.”

“Well, Mr. Yin heard that there were guests coming today, so he specially taught us how to cook a few family dishes, including mandarin duck, aromatic duck, and hot pot pepper fish. Young master, try it and see if you like it?” Cheng Qi introduced to Li Tianyan with a smile.

Mr. Yin was quite nice. Apart from being unhappy when he first came here, he had recently treated him and Xiao Liu as his disciples. Today, he even brought out family dishes.

“You should sit down and eat too.” Li Tianyan pulled Cheng Qi to sit down next to him and added a bowl of rice to him.

Guan Haoran no longer cared about his status as a guest. He picked up his chopsticks and ate happily, not forgetting to praise, “It tastes really delicious. Brother Li, you have such a good chef.”

“I wasn’t the one who invited him.” Li Tianyan smiled modestly; he didn’t have the ability to summon ghosts if he was asked to catch them.

“Young master, eat fish.” Cheng Qi put a piece of fish with bones removed into Li Tianyan’s bowl and said with a smile.

Guan Haoran glanced at the two people across from him, then looked at the fish meat he had picked up for himself, and in the end, he could only accept his fate and pick out the fish bones by himself.

.

In the kitchen, Tan Eyu crossed her arms and looked at Li Wu and Xiao Liu, who were sitting around eating together, and said with an unhappy face, “Really, why do you want me to stay here to watch you two eating.”

Li Wu, who had accepted that he was living with a ghost, said, “Young madam is afraid that you will scare Young Master Guan away.”

“Do I look scary?” Tan Eyu sat astride the stove and raised her eyebrows, asking Li Wu.

“No way, you are so charming and beautiful that no man wouldn’t be tempted by you.” Li Wu smiled with a flattering look on his face, but secretly cursed in his heart, wasn’t he scared to death by you that night?

“Humph!” Tan Eyu raised her head arrogantly after hearing this.

Li Wu saw that the female ghost finally calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth, “It’s so fragrant, Xiao Liu, your cooking skills are really getting better and better.”

“It’s Teacher Yin. Actually, the young madam is better at learning than me.” Xiao Liu said with some shame; he also learned from Master Yin, but the young madam mastered it much better than him.

“Hey, the young master and the young madam are not ordinary mortals. Let’s not compare with them. You are already very good.” Li Wu said to console; if mortals like them compare with the young master, they would definitely dig holes to cover themselves first.

Li Mansion

After collecting ten million taels, Li Pei was able to sit calmly in the main courtyard and chat with his wife. “It is really thanks to my wife; I was able to collect so many taels of silver in one month.”

“Cheng’er is now a Qi Condensation cultivator; how can he be wronged there? What’s more, there are many disciples from good family backgrounds in Tianfan Immortal Sect. Naturally, our Cheng’er cannot be compared with others.” Hong Man smiled gently, put down the tea cup, and spoke.

Li Pei stared at her face for a while, really unable to figure out what Hong Man was thinking now. The old madam said that she might already know, but based on his understanding of Hong Man, if she really knew that Tiancheng was Yin Rong’s son, how could she be so calm?

Thinking about it, Li Pei said tentatively, “I neglected Tiancheng in the past, and I really should make up for this child.”

“Now that you know about your son, it’s good.” Hong Man glanced at him sideways, a little bashful. She curled her lips proudly and smiled.
