NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 190.2
“It turns out that the two of them are alchemy masters.” Zhao Shubao was a little surprised after hearing this.
When they returned to Alliance City that day, Zhao Shubao should have done his best to entertain the two of them as the host, but there were still matters to attend to at that time. Seeing that they were unwilling to join the Zhao family, they parted ways first.
After calming down, Zhao Shubao felt a bit guilty and quickly ordered Zhao Yu to find out if the two of them were still in Alliance City.
“Have they encountered any trouble during this time?” Zhao Shubao asked Zhao Yu.
“The owner of the shop they rented is a well-known scoundrel on Dongling Street. He often causes trouble, but those two aren’t easy targets. They end up punishing him until he runs away every time,” Zhao Yu reported honestly.
“How did they deal with it?” Zhao Shubao asked with interest.
“Once, the scoundrel tried to pee in the shop in front of customers. Then as if he was possessed, he ran outside and urinated on a passing city guard, who caught him on the spot and gave him a lesson.”
“Another time, the scoundrel hired some gangsters from the brothel who were suffering from schizophrenia to cause trouble in their shop. However, the gangsters suddenly turned on him and chased him all over the street.”
“Is that true?” Zhao Shubao frowned.
“I heard that the two of them set up a protective formation for the containers in the shop, making it impossible for the scoundrel to interfere. In the end, he had offered to return the money and clear the store. But Li Tianyan refused.” Zhao Yu felt that these two were not ordinary individuals—they could even trick a local scoundrel into offering a refund.
“Why didn’t they agree?” Zhao Shubao asked, surprised.
“Apparently, because the rent is cheap, they refused to cancel the lease early,” Zhao Yu said with a strange expression.
Hearing this, Zhao Shubao was momentarily stunned. For some reason, the figures of two evil cultivators flashed in his mind. He smiled helplessly and said, “Their style of eating without spitting out reminds me of those two. They must be worth checking out.”
“Sir, do you think they could really be the ones?” Zhao Yu had entertained this thought before, but dismissed it as nonsense.
“How could that be?” Zhao Shubao shook his head and laughed. “Those two evil cultivators dared to challenge a group of demon cultivators. Even if they aren’t extremely evil, they certainly aren’t the same as an upright cultivator. Li Tianyan, on the other hand, has a calm aura, and even being near him makes people feel comfortable. So, how could he and the evil cultivator be the same person?”

“Pei Yu, where have you been? Why did Zhao Hui send you back?” Mu Jing, who had been hiding near Pei family’s house, emerged with a gloomy face when he saw Pei Yu returning.
The Mu family had been severely suppressed recently, but Pei Qing was hiding in the Formation Guild to avoid meeting others. Mu Jing was already feeling anxious. This morning, he had heard that Pei Yu went to the Zhao family to find Zhao Shubao.
“It’s none of your business where I go. Haven’t you always been at the Formation Guild? Since you chose Pei Qing, don’t come to me again,” Pei Yu said angrily.
“Xiao Yu, can’t you see the situation? Don’t be so petty. I went to see Pei Qing just to explain things to her. Only with her understanding can her grandfather stop,” Mu Jing said seriously.
“I don’t believe it. You just want to get back together with her. Don’t think I don’t know that you came to me because Pei Qing ignored you,” Pei Yu said decisively.
She had been injured and imprisoned for so long, but Mu Jing had never shown up.
“Why do you think so? Pei Yu, do you have a crush on Zhao Shubao, so you deliberately broke up with me?” Mu Jing grabbed Pei Yu’s hand and asked.
Pei Yu had taken the initiative to find Zhao Shubao, so something must have been going on.
“None of your business.” Pei Yu replied frankly. It was only after this incident that she had fully understood what the Zhao family’s status meant.
“Pei Yu, don’t forget, Zhao Shubao saw you attack Pei Qing with his own eyes. Do you think he can still treat you like he did before?” Mu Jing said with sinister eyes.
The whole situation had been caused by Pei Yu. If she really ended up with Zhao Shubao while he and the Mu family were the ones who suffered, how could Mu Jing let her get away with it so easily?
“Zhao Shubao just likes me; he doesn’t care about this,” Pei Yu said firmly, but she felt a little guilty in her heart. Zhao Shubao had obviously treated her differently at the Zhao family’s house just now.
“Really?” A dark light flashed in Mu Jing’s eyes. “If that’s the case, don’t blame me.”
Pei Yu didn’t know what Mu Jing was thinking, but she thought he looked a bit scary like this, so she shook off his hand and rushed into her house without looking back.

At Dongling Street’s Alchemy Store.
“Shopkeeper, I want to buy some medicinal pills.”
Cheng Qi, who had been sitting at the counter learning accounting from Li Tianyan, saw a core formation cultivator come in. He quickly got up and asked, “What kind of medicinal pill are you looking for?”
“Just give me one of each of the Xuan-level medicinal pills in your store,” the core formation cultivator said in a rough voice.
“All the Xuan-level pills?” Cheng Qi asked, a doubtful look on his face.
There were many types of Xuan-level pills, and they all cost a lot of spiritual stones. Looking at the cultivator’s attire, Cheng Qi didn’t want to judge, but he felt that the cultivator definitely couldn’t afford them.
