Cheng Mansion.

“Madam Luo really couldn’t sit still when she heard what happened in Alchemy Pavilion. She ran to the villa this morning to make trouble.” Mother Li came in from outside and whispered in front of Madam Cheng.

Madam Cheng had a faint smile on her face after hearing this, “Huh, this woman Luo Ying really hasn’t changed at all.”

“But it seems that Madam Luo couldn’t see anything good. When she came back today, someone saw her face, it was so swollen and the maid next to her said it was blown by the wind on the road.” Mother Li heard this and felt a little strange. How could the wind be so strong as to blow someone’s face like that?

“I heard that Li Tianyan is a bit evil and knows a lot of heresy. Now it seems that the rumors are true.” Madam Cheng first reaction was that it was related to Li Tianyan, and her heart became more solemn.

“Madam, you see, Li Tianyan is so good to that shuanger, could it be that he discovered something?” Mother Li couldn’t help but wonder.

Logically speaking, Li Tianyan couldn’t really like the looks of that ugly shuanger, but over the past year or so, Li Tianyan had been really good to him.

Every time Li Tianyan showed up in Jincheng, Cheng Qi was always next to him, and he often spent a lot of money to buy good  things for that shuanger, a dagger worth twenty thousand taels and a cauldron worth one hundred thousand taels. It always felt a bit unusual.

“I really can’t tell,” Madam Cheng muttered to herself with some uncertainty.

She thought about the letter she suddenly received from the direct branch of the Cheng family more than ten years ago, saying that a child was entrusted to their care. At that time, several boxes of items were sent with the baby, including ores, semi-spiritual weapons, and spiritual grass. Although the letter was vague, it wasn’t hard to guess that the shuanger’s physique was somewhat special and couldn’t be discovered by the immortal cultivators. The person who entrusted the little baby only said to help raise him to adulthood and find an ordinary man for him to marry.

Madam Cheng was filled with jealousy when she saw the things sent to them. The direct lineage of the Cheng family stationed at the foot of Tianfan Immortal Sect randomly sent out some things, which they would rarely see in their lifetimes. It could be imagined that the direct lineage of Cheng family usually enjoyed such good resources, but they had never thought of helping the side branches. If it weren’t for this time, they would not have known that there was such a huge direct family behind the Cheng family.

Madam Cheng, who was originally resentful, became even more disgusted when she saw the appearance of the baby. Madam Luo happened to give birth to a stillborn child, so she decided to treat the baby as Madam Luo’s child and let her raise it.

What she didn’t expect was that she thought everything would be over if Cheng Qi was betrothed to Li Tianyan, but suddenly news came out that Li Tianyan had received guidance from an immortal. All of this happened, catching her off guard.

Mother Li saw that Madam looked bad, so she quickly changed the subject, “In a few days, the young lady will be engaged. I don’t know how many people are envious of her. I heard that Young Lady  Li Wan from Li Mansion has been crying for several days.”

“She deserves it,” Madam Cheng smiled coldly after hearing this, recalling Hong Man’s cold and arrogant attitude on the day of the birthday banquet. Every time she thought about it, Madam Cheng felt furious. This time, she finally had the chance to make a comeback, and her mood improved.

“Li Wu, what is so funny?” Guan Haoran’s carriage stopped at the gate of the villa, and he saw Li Wu standing outside the door laughing, asking strangely.

“Young Master Guan, you are here. Come and sit in the main room quickly. I will call the young master right now.” Li Wu, upon seeing Guan Haoran, remembered the appointment with the young master and hurriedly welcomed him in.

Guan Haoran had just sat down in the main room. Before Li Wu could report, Li Tianyan walked in, “Young Master Guan came so early today.”

After a year of careful care and Li Tianyan’s guidance on the medicinal pills, Guan Haoran had become an acquired fourth-level warrior. Though still lagging behind among his peers, his foundation was much more solid, and he might catch up one day, as Li Tianyan had predicted.

“I heard there are good things, so naturally I can’t sit still.” Guan Haoran stood up and said with a smile.

“Young Master Guan, please take a seat.” Li Tianyan sat down opposite Guan Haoran and handed him a stack of talismans. “This is the latest talisman. One of them can withstand the power of the second level innate warrior.”

Hearing about the attack of an innate warrior, Guan Haoran’s pupils shrank suddenly. He took a few deep breaths before regaining his composure. “It seems that Brother Li has made significant progress again.”

There were rumors that Li Tianyan was a disciple of cultivating immortals, rumors spread by Guan Haoran himself initially. Originally, it was just to create a gimmick for the Alchemy Pavilion. However, as the rumors became more in-depth, Guan Haoran realized that, based on Li Tianyan’s unusual features, he could guess that Li Tianyan was indeed a cultivator.

Now it was said that the talisman could handle a second level innate warrior with just one talisman, which meant that Li Tianyan had probably reached the fourth level of Qi Condensation.
