ALL NOVEL Chapter 194.1
After Zhao Shubao thought about it carefully, he felt that those words just now were indeed easily misunderstood. “I was the one who was abrupt,” he said.
Cheng Qi jumped down from the wall, patted the dust off his robe, and then winked at Zhao Shubao, saying, “If you really like her, you have to work hard.”
“Fellow Cultivator Cheng seemed to be very experienced,” Zhao Shubao observed, looking at him with a questioning gaze. Fellow Cultivator Li had been right—he was indeed a person with an out-of-touch temperament.
However, Zhao Shubao also noticed that although the person in front of him looked ordinary, his eyes were extremely sharp, making it impossible for people to feel disgusted at first sight.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qi patted his flat chest with pride. “Of course, even the young master’s wooden temper was pried open by me.”
“Really? That does sound amazing.”
Hearing the sound coming from behind, Cheng Qi’s eyes widened in shock. When he turned around, he wore a flattering smile on his face. “Young master, you’ve finished refining the medicinal pill so quickly?”
“Naughty again,” Li Tianyan walked over, raised his hand, and scratched the bridge of Cheng Qi’s nose, then turned to Zhao Shubao apologetically. “I’m sorry, Xiao Qi is naughty and has caused trouble for you.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Zhao Shubao said, cupping his hands.
“I’ll take him back first. See you later,” Li Tianyan said as he placed the restless little shuanger on his shoulders, bid farewell to Zhao Shubao, and turned back toward the alchemy shop.
Cheng Qi looked up behind Li Tianyan, waved goodbye to Zhao Shubao with a smile, and then adjusted himself to a comfortable position. “Young master, did you finish refining the Snow Bone Pill?”
“Yes,” Li Tianyan tightened his arms to prevent the shuanger who was moving around from falling.
“Has the Emperor’s Pill been refined as well?” Cheng Qi asked again.
“That’s done too,” Li Tianyan replied, knowing that this brat was changing the subject, but he didn’t expose him.
“Then let’s save the white tiger first?” Cheng Qi suggested to Li Tianyan.
“Okay,” Li Tianyan agreed without hesitation.
Seeing that Li Tianyan was not angry, Cheng Qi said obediently, “Fellow Cultivator Zhao just sent me two badges from the Alchemist Guild.”
“Ohhh,” Li Tianyan shook his head, amused.
“Fellow Cultivator Pei came here just now and said she would bring her grandpa with her in a few days,” Cheng Qi reported to Li Tianyan.
“Okay,” Li Tianyan replied, and the two of them returned to the alchemy shop.
Tan Eyu watched Li Tianyan carry the person all the way into the inner courtyard and couldn’t help but roll her eyes to the sky. “The world is really bright, but the people are declining.”
.
Zhao Shubao was stunned for a while, and it wasn’t until Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi disappeared that he came back to his senses. “Ah Yu, have you noticed them?”
After hearing the summons, Zhao Yu and the others emerged from the darkness. “The subordinates only noticed after the friend surnamed Cheng spoke.”
“What about Fellow Cultivator Li?” Zhao Shubao was a little surprised. Didn’t even Zhao Yu notice it?
“The same is true for Fellow Cultivator Li. Both of them seemed to have extraordinary skills,” Zhao Hui replied.
“Young master, you have to be careful when dealing with them in the future,” Zhao Yu couldn’t help but remind him.
“If they wanted to harm me, I wouldn’t have come back this time,” Zhao Shubao whispered.
“It’s a subordinate who neglected his duty,” Zhao Yu and Zhao Hui said at the same time. If Zhao Shubao hadn’t interceded for them both this time, their positions would have been replaced long ago.
“This time the responsibility wasn’t yours,” Zhao Shubao shook his head. “Go back.”
.
In a narrow alley, where swill buckets were piled up in the corner of Alliance City, the sound of things being beaten and screams suddenly came from.
“Boss, stop fighting. I beg you to let me go. I really don’t know anything.” Shen Laizi, with a bruised and swollen face, laid on the ground with his head in his arms. He was punched and kicked by several gangsters but didn’t dare to resist at all.
“Good guy, you made me beaten up and squat for two days in the prison. If I don’t beat you into a meat pie today, you won’t be able to hang around this street anymore.” Lao Hei limped up and walked toward him. Shen Laizi spat and cursed.
“Boss, I really don’t know that those two people knew the man surnamed Zhao. If I knew, I wouldn’t have rented the shop to them. Boss, please calm down. At worst, I’ll give you all the 40,000 spirit stones.” Shen Laizi said with a pained look on his face.
When he originally invited Lao Hei, he had agreed to give him 20,000 spirit stones. But now that things hadn’t gone well, he had gotten a beating and had to hand over the remaining 20,000 spirit stones. It was really a loss.
For the sake of the spirit stones, Lao Hei finally stopped and said, “You’re a wise boy. I’ll spare you this time. If something like this happens next time, I will drag you out of the city and bury you alive.”
“Don’t dare, don’t dare. This time it was definitely an accident. I’ll definitely check things out in the future,” Shen Laizi said in a flattering tone.
Seeing that Lao Hei was finally relieved, Shen Laizi quickly said, “Boss, do we really let those two boys go?”
“Otherwise, there is the Zhao family standing behind them,” Lao Hei said angrily. He was still angry. What could those two guys do if they didn’t have a backing?
“You couldn’t touch them in the Alliance City, but these two people always go out of the city. The business of their alchemy shop is so good; they must have a lot of spiritual stones in their hands,” Shen Laizi seduced him.
“There is a core formation ghost slave next to the two of them. How could they be so easy to harm?” Lao Hei couldn’t help but frown.
Shen Laizi didn’t take it seriously. “It’s just a ghost slave. Boss, please call two more brothers, and you can capture that ghost with the ghost-collecting magic weapons.”
“It makes sense.” Lao Hei smiled gloomily.
During this period, the business of alchemy shop had been really exciting. If they could intercept and kill those two people, they would definitely gain a lot. “You can find someone to keep an eye on them. As soon as they leave the city, come and tell me immediately.”
“Yes, boss.” After Shen Laizi responded, he rubbed his palms with a vulgar expression and said, “But boss, don’t forget to share the benefits when the time comes.”
