Chapter 42.2
Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son
âOur son is naturally the best. Even though he was practicing hard all alone in Tianfan Immortal Sect, I donât know if he took good care of himself. Only after the child left did I realize that Tiancheng was the one I cared about the most.â Li Pei finally said this sentence a little more sincerely.@@novelbin@@
He didnât take a good look at the child when Tiancheng was still in Li Mansion. After learning the truth, the child was already in Tianfan Immortal Sect. It would be difficult to meet him in the future. He could only wait for him to reach the fourth level for the opportunity to be back.
Hong Manâs eyes turned red with hatred when she heard Li Peiâs words, but she still restrained herself from having an outburst. Fortunately, someone came in from outside at this time to send a message, âMaster, itâs not good. There was an accident at the training pavilion in the suburbs, a whole row of houses collapsed.â
âWhatâs going on? Which houses are they?â Li Pei frowned after hearing this; how could such a thing happen?
âI havenât found out yet, but the place where the martial art disciplesâ lives and the training pavilion have collapsed. All the books inside were buried. Itâs going to rain today. If we canât rescue those classics, most of them will be destroyed,â the person who came in to report said anxiously.
Although the training pavilion in the suburbs was not as good as the one in Li Mansion, there were still many unique books and treasures inside, especially the basement on the ground floor where there were some manuscripts of innate warriors.
âIâll go take a look.â Li Pei stood up and was about to walk out, but suddenly stopped when he thought of something, âMadam, can you let the messenger wait for two more days when he comes this afternoon?â
âHe is from Tianfan Immortal Sect. How can we ask him to wait? Why donât you put the things here with me, and when the messenger comes, I will hand them over to him personally?â Hong Man suggested as if she was considerate.
Then she said to Li Pei with a worried expression, âIf something happens at the training pavilion, you should hurry up. Those books have been saved by our ancestors of the Li family for generations. If they are really destroyed, how can we report them to the clan elders? They will need explanation.â
Hearing this, Li Pei took out the banknotes and letters then handed it to her, âThen Iâll trouble you, these are two letters for Chengâer, please send them.â
âWhat kind of trouble? Chengâer is also my son.â Hong Man took the thing and said angrily.
Li Pei saw her carefully putting away the things, then he left with confidence.
.
But what Li Pei didnât know was the face of Hong Man behind him, which just turned around, already had a different expression.
When Li Peiâs figure disappeared, Hong Man looked at the thing in her hand and smiled coldly, âBitch, let me see what you can do this time.â
âMadam, how much silver are you going to send to the second young master.â Mother Liu walked to Hong Manâs side and asked in a low voice.
âDonât call me a harsh mother but just give him two million taels.â Hong Man couldnât help but laugh after saying that.
If Li Tiancheng thought the two million taels were from her and the Hong family, and Li Pei was not willing to give a penny, then she told him about how the old madam spent for the old masterâs birthday banquet. She didnât know how Li Tiancheng would treat the Li family in the future. She wanted Duan Qin to experience the feeling of having all her hopes in vain.
Mother Liu couldnât bear to see the madam like this, so in the end, she could only change the topic, âSince the incident in Yuncheng, the Alchemy Pavilionâs business seems to be a bit deserted.â
Because the madam suspected that the pharmacist behind the Alchemy Pavilion was the third young master, Mother Liu followed this direction to investigate, and indeed found many clues. Now they had been able to determine that the person behind the Alchemy Pavilion must be related to the third young master.
âThese fools.â Hong Man laughed mockingly. If this incident hadnât come out, the people in Yuncheng would not have been willing to let them know about the cultivators. They thought they had picked up a treasure, but they were deceived, and now they were starting to get suspicious again.
.
Cheng Qi studied the new member of their villa with a curious look on his face. This bull beast looked so naive that he couldnât help but reach out and touch it.
A red shadow appeared next to him and said without hesitation, âYou look so ugly.â
âTan Eyu, from now on, you will be responsible for escorting Li Wu to Guancheng to purchase medicinal materials.â Cheng Qi commanded the female ghost beside him.
âWhy should I go to escort? I am the leader of a village, and you actually asked me to escort the goods. Why are you so oppressive?â Tan Eyu protested with an unconvinced look on her face.
âIf you agree, I will give this bottle to you.â Cheng Qi raised a small jade bottle in his hand.
âWho wants your broken bottle?â Tan Eyu retorted, but as she finished speaking, she suddenly smelled the scent of blood in the bottle. She immediately guessed what was inside and quickly put the bottle away. âAlthough the bottle is a bit broken, I quite like it, so Iâll agree to your unreasonable request.â
Cheng Qi unconsciously stroked the bull beastâs head with his hand and said in a low voice, âTan Eyu, think about it yourself. If you take it, you will no longer have freedom.â
Tan Eyu glanced at the bottle in her hand and then smiled with a flattering look, âSince I will have no freedom, why donât you give me a few more drops, and I will definitely listen to your arrangements.â
Cheng Qi looked sideways at the other party, a purple flame twining in the palm of his hand, âActually, I may not need you.â
âIâm just asking casually.â Tan Eyu, seeing the flame, laughed nervously and quickly moved away. She secretly hated how this brat looked more and more like Li Tianyan.
Not long after Tan Eyu left, Li Tianyan came over. Seeing that the little shuanger couldnât let go of the bull beast, he took out a bottle of medicinal pill and handed it to him, âThis is the Spirit Beast Pill. Feed it every other day from now on.â
