Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

The shopkeeper’s face changed several times as he stared at the talisman paper in Cheng Qi’s hand. He then resisted the urge to curse, saying, “This kind of ghost drawing talisman is used by fraudsters to deceive people. Little shuanger, don’t joke with me.”

“But this talisman was drawn by my young master himself. It’s very powerful,” Cheng Qi blinked a pair of innocent eyes and said to the shopkeeper.

Li Tianyan claimed that this Explosive Talisman could be used by warriors of second level or above, and its power was equivalent to a full-strength strike from a sixth level warrior. How could it be deceptive if it could be used for self-defense?

The shopkeeper replied angrily, “Our medicine hall only accepts money and does not accept other transactions.”

“Oh,” Cheng Qi understood this time that the medicine hall only took money. He then carefully took back the talisman.

Li Tianyan rubbed his chin, glanced at Guan Haoran sitting in the medicine hall watching the show, took the pen and paper on the counter, and wrote down a prescription eloquently. He then walked to Guan Haoran and sat down, asking, “Do you want to treat the disease?”

“Haha, you should worry about your lack of money to pay the bill first,” Guan Haoran sneered. At this time, Li Tianyan still had the leisure to joke with him.

“I have a way to cure your symptoms, but you have to pay the bill for me. How about it?” Li Tianyan said without any burden.

Thinking of those old guys in the Tianyun Continent who personally brought the treasures of heaven and earth and waited under his peak to ask for a pill from him, Guan Haoran should know to take this opportunity.

“Why should I trust you?” Guan Haoran looked at the other person sideways and felt that the person in front of him was not like the Li Tianyan he knew before.

“Anyway, you’ve consulted many pharmacists and tried various messy medicines, but it still hasn’t worked. If you continue like this, you’ll probably be in a helpless situation. If you trust me, there might be a chance for a cure. If it truly can’t be cured, I still live in the Li Mansion; there’s no escaping.” Li Tianyan attempted to persuade.

Hearing Li Tianyan’s insinuation that he might become useless, Guan Haoran unconsciously tightened his legs, and his expression became tangled. “You’re certain your prescription will work? Listen to me, just because you’re from the Li family doesn’t mean I won’t take action against you.”

“It will work, but not immediately.”

Upon hearing this, Guan Haoran initially thought Li Tianyan might be deceiving him, but then Li Tianyan continued, “You need to take the medicine for at least three consecutive days for it to be effective.”

“Three days?” Guan Haoran asked hesitantly. If Li Tianyan were lying, he would have suggested a longer duration to avoid exposure.

Observing his reaction, Li Tianyan felt three days might be too long. He shook his head and explained, “Three days is the earliest; it can’t be less. Taking a potent prescription for your weakened body requires time to show results, and the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.”

“I’ll trust you this time. If it doesn’t work in three days, you’ll face the consequences from the Guan family. Three hundred taels of silver are a small sum for me; I’m more concerned about whether you’re deceiving me,” Guan Haoran declared.

“Go ahead; the prescription and my bill are yours. Goodbye.” Li Tianyan, satisfied with Guan Haoran’s nod, handed the prescription list and the bill from the shopkeeper to Guan Haoran. He prepared to leave, pausing only to give a satisfied smile.

The shopkeeper of the medicine hall watched helplessly as Li Tianyan and the others left with the medicinal materials, finding it hard to believe. When did young master Li learn to deceive, drawing ghost talisman, and know medicine? He wondered if young master Guan would seek revenge.

.

As Li Tianyan stepped out of the medicine hall, Jian Yuhao and others blocked his way. They had just come out of the Yueman Restaurant and witnessed Li Tianyan’s servant bargaining with the medicine hall shopkeeper, seizing the opportunity, they confronted him.

“Li Tianyan, do you still want to respect yourself? You actually tricked young master Guan into giving you money,” Jian Yuhao crossed his arms and said with a mocking smile. Although he didn’t hear clearly what he and Guan Haoran said, it was definitely the case. What a bad thing.

“What does it have to do with you? I’m not asking you to pay,” Li Tianyan glanced at the people in the way and recognized their identities.

“You are so poor that you can’t even afford three hundred taels, and you bring your wife out to cheat. The Li family is a well-known family after all. You have lost the face of the Li family by doing this,” Ren Chijing said with a malicious face.

Cheng Si also didn’t expect that Li Tianyan, who once spent a lot of money on her, would now be reduced to this situation. Fortunately, her mother did not agree to Madam Li’s marriage proposal; otherwise, what hope would she have for the rest of her life after marrying someone like Li Tianyan.

“We are not lying; you… you are not allowed to say that about my young master,” Cheng Qi heard these people said bad things about Li Tianyan in front of so many people on the street. Although he was frightened, he still couldn’t help but argue.

Of course, if he could stop holding on Li Tianyan’s clothes with his hands and speaking a bit louder, it might be more convincing.

“Xiao Qi, you were very obedient when you were in Cheng Mansion. Why are you like this now?” Cheng Si saw Cheng Qi standing with Li Tianyan and was worried about what they did would harm Cheng Mansion’s reputation, she said with a sad look on her face.

“I’m not.” When Cheng Qi heard his eldest sister’s voice, he realized Cheng Si was also here. He was so frightened that he wanted to shrink into the ground.

Li Tianyan saw that Cheng Qi suddenly returned to the timid appearance before, and his eyes towards Cheng Si became a little colder.

“No wonder you asked for the hairpin back. I think the love token is fake, it didn’t worth much.” Jian Yuhao did not forget to say for Cheng Si at this time.

“What does this have to do with you? If you really want to please others, then go buy it yourself. Is it possible that you want to watch your sweetheart wear something given by others? Or because you can’t afford it yourself, you can only wait for others to give a ready-made; will you need someone else to do the wedding for you when you get married in the future?” Li Tianyan sneered back unceremoniously.

These words made everyone present choke. A Qingtai hairpin costed at least ten thousand taels. Although they all came from aristocratic families, they didn’t have much money left to spend other than cultivation every month. Indeed, it was impossible to buy a hairpin that looked good but was useless for them, but Li Tianyan said it bluntly like this, which still made them a little embarrassed.

“Li Tianyan, you are looking for death.” Jian Yuhao was completely angered by Li Tianyan’s words. He raised his fist and punched Li Tianyan in the face without considering whether the opponent could withstand the attack of a fifth-level warrior.

No one else came forward to stop Jian Yuhao when they saw him taking action. They all looked at the show with gloating expressions. Jian Yuhao was reckless and would often hurt others. Today, Li Tianyan was also unlucky.

But Li Tianyan’s reaction was different from what others thought. He just stood there indifferently. Just when everyone thought that he was frightened and he forgot to run away, Jian Yuhao, who had already rushed in front of him, was instantly hit by a wave of force. It threw him several feet away. After landing, he was vomiting blood and looked like he was seriously injured.

No one could react in time to the sudden change. Li Tianyan clapped the talisman in his hand and asked the others, “Is there anyone else coming up?”

After hearing this, Ren Chijing and the others looked at each other, except for Mu Nanfeng. Apart from him, they were all at the fifth level. Seeing Mu Nanfeng had no intention of taking action, they naturally did not dare to act rashly.

Li Tianyan waited for a while and saw no response. He turned to the stunned shopkeeper in the medicine hall and slightly curled his lips before leaving with Cheng Qi.

.

After Li Tianyan left, the people around the medicine hall woke up as if the ban had been lifted. Ren Chijing hurried up to check on Jian Yuhao’s injury. Mu Nanfeng stood aside and looked at the man who barely stood up after being helped by everyone, and looked at Cheng Si beside him. He asked, “Did you see clearly what Li Tianyan did just now?”

Cheng Si carefully recalled the situation just now but finally shook her head. Where they stood, their line of sight was blocked by Jian Yuhao, and they could not see Li Tianyan’s movements clearly at all. Seeing Jian Yuhao’s injured and embarrassed appearance at this time, and Mu Nanfeng who didn’t even take action next to her, Cheng Si felt a little disappointed.

“Shopkeeper, where is the little shuanger who wanted to exchange a talisman with you just now?” Guan Haoran ran to the counter of the medicine hall and asked the shopkeeper.

Others didn’t see it clearly, but Guan Haoran, who was standing in the medicine hall, saw it clearly. When Jian Yuhao was ejected, Li Tianyan was holding the ghost talisman like the shuanger had just taken out. By the time Guan Haoran reacted, Li Tianyan and the others had disappeared.
