ALL NOVEL Chapter 188.1
“Chen Feng, what did I do to make you resent me?” Zhao Shubao, who had been silent, suddenly stood up, stared at Chen Feng, and asked.
Chen Feng looked at him, the jealousy in his eyes worse than before. “It’s because you didn’t do anything.”
“I put so much thought and effort into getting my uncle to accept me as his disciple. I have served you carefully all these years and studied alchemy diligently. In the end, I am no better than an idle person like you. Isn’t it because my uncle left all the good things to you? There was nothing for me, his own disciple.”
Although he was obviously better than Zhao Shubao in cultivation, his alchemy skills had never been as good as his. It couldn’t be because of his uncle’s partiality.
“Is that what you think? Even if this is indeed the case, my father was kind enough to teach you alchemy and fulfilled his responsibilities as a master. What else can you be dissatisfied with?” Zhao Shubao said, frowning.
“Yes, he taught me how to make alchemy, but all he taught me were simple things. None of the apprentices in the Alchemist Guild didn’t know that, so what’s the difference between me and them?” Chen Feng said, dissatisfied.
“It’s different for you. As my uncle’s biological son, my uncle’s alchemy mind and virtue were only given to you. You can eat, drink, and have fun all day long and still become a Xuan-level alchemist. I’ve thought about what would happen if you disappeared. How good it would be if my uncle only have me as his apprentice.”
“Chen Feng, don’t talk nonsense.” Chen Shun couldn’t help but feel frightened when he heard his son’s words.
“You heard it. I was wrong when I accepted him as my apprentice. Since you look down upon what I taught so much, don’t call me master again in the future. Take him back and don’t let me see this thing again.” Zhao Yuan said angrily.
“Brother-in-law, Chen Feng is young and ignorant. He was confused for a moment. For the sake of his usual diligence and filial piety, give him another chance,” Chen Shun said with a guilty conscience.
“Ignorant? Confused? He was confused once, and my son almost died,” Zhao Shubao’s mother finally couldn’t help but speak.
“No need to say anything, I’ll just leave.” Chen Feng stopped his parents, who wanted to persuade him again. The moment Zhao Shubao came back, he had known this would be the result.
But Chen Feng still felt unwilling in his heart and said again, “But whether you believe it or not, even if I was jealous of Zhao Shubao, I never really wanted to harm him. This time, it was Mu Jing’s trick that made me lose control and take action against him.”
“Mu Jing?” Zhao Shubao frowned even more when he heard the name Mu Jing.
Chen Feng didn’t explain much. He got up and staggered out of Zhao’s house. Chen Shun and his wife saw that their sister and brother-in-law were angry, so they had no choice but to take Chen Feng away first.
.
“We are so lucky to find such a cheap place,” Cheng Qi said happily while cleaning the house.
They had spent most of the day wandering around the city. Not only was the rent for a house with a front shop and a back room like this very expensive, but it also required a large deposit. However, it only cost 40,000 spirit stones to sign a one-year lease.
Although the spiritual stones were gone, they finally had a place to settle down. Although Dongling Street wasn’t very busy, there were many foundation-establishment cultivators living nearby. If they opened an alchemy shop, the business wouldn’t be too bad.
Li Tianyan opened the door of the shop, turned around, and saw Cheng Qi’s happy face, a smile appearing on his own.
“Look, someone has rented that shop again.”
“We saw them when they came just now. They were two young foundation-establishment cultivators.”
“They are still too naive. How could they rent a store like this?”
“At first glance, these two people had just come from out of town. They probably didn’t have many spiritual stones on them. Shen Laizi likes to find people like this.”
Li Tianyan’s ears twitched slightly as he listened to the chatter of nearby merchants. At that moment, several foundation-establishment cultivators passed by the street in front of the store, and their voices merged into Li Tianyan’s sea of consciousness.
“It’s been a lot of fun today.”
“Yeah, it’s only been one night, and things have suddenly changed between the Pei family and the Mu family. What do you think could have made Ancestor Yin so angry?”
“It seems that Pei Qing was in danger during her training, and Mu Jing, his fiancé, refused to save her. This is why Ancestor Yin had to break off the engagement.”
“If the situation was dangerous at that time, it would be understandable for Mu Jing to escape, but it’s understandable that Ancestor Yin would be angry about this. It can only be said that Mu Jing was unlucky.”
“I’m telling you something, but don’t tell anyone.”
“Why is it so mysterious? Tell me quickly.”
“I heard from the servants of the Pei family this morning that Pei Yu and Mu Jing were in love, and the two of them worked together, causing Ancestor Yin’s granddaughter to almost die.”
“This kind of thing still exists? I didn’t expect that Mu Jing, who seems to be upright, is actually a hypocrite.”
“But let’s not talk about it. Pei Yu’s appearance is indeed quite attractive. Mu Jing probably thought that Ancestor Yin wouldn’t come back, so he dared to do this.”
Seeing Li Tianyan standing motionless at the door, Cheng Qi walked up to him with a broom and asked, “Young master, what did you overhear again? Tell me.”
“Pei Qing broke off the engagement with Mu Jing,” Li Tianyan said, focusing on the key points.
Cheng Qi wrinkled his nose and hummed, “It would be best if she retreated. The guy surnamed Mu is full of bad ideas.”
“Are you tired?” Li Tianyan smiled and raised his hand, rubbing the top of Cheng Qi’s hair.
“I’m not tired, but young master, the landlord just now seemed a little strange. Is there something wrong?” Cheng Qi couldn’t help but ask.
Li Tianyan smiled and said, “There is no such thing as a pie falling from the sky. There must be something wrong with such a cheap rent.”
“Then the young master still agreed?” Cheng Qi tilted his head and looked at him.
Li Tianyan took out the lease contract and smiled meaningfully, “There’s also a saying that it’s easier to invite deity than to send them away.”
“Hehe.” Cheng Qi suddenly understood what Li Tianyan meant and smiled with crooked eyes.
