Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

Cheng Qi sat across from the two of them, looking around and rolling his eyes, then said with a smile, “Did you make an appointment to come together today?”

“No, we just met at the door,” Pei Qing shook her head.

“That’s it, that’s really fate,” Cheng Qi glanced at Zhao Shubao and found that his attitude toward Pei Qing seemed to be different today. He secretly thought that there must be something fishy between the two of them.

“Haha, really?” Zhao Shubao laughed twice after hearing this, and it seemed that they were indeed destined.

“By the way, I came today to give this to you two. Since Fellow Cultivator Li isn’t here, I’ll give it to Fellow Cultivator Cheng,” Zhao Shubao remembered the purpose of his visit and took out two waist badges from his sleeves, handing them to Cheng Qi.

“What is this?” Cheng Qi took the badge, saw the word “Alchemist” on it and the word “Guild” on the back, and looked at Zhao Shubao in confusion.

“This is the Huang-level membership badge of the Alchemist Guild. My father gave it to you two. The function of this badge is engraved in it,” Zhao Shubao explained.

The Alchemist Guild was divided into internal and external members. The badges he gave to Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi belonged to the external ones. Although they didn’t have as many permissions as the internal members, they were free from the restrictions of the guild. And don’t look at it just from the outside—there were fewer than 500 alchemists on Infinite Island who could possess this Huang-level badge.

Cheng Qi took a cursory look and realized that with this badge, it would be much easier for them to move around on Infinite Island in the future. So, he accepted it without hesitation. “Please thank President Zhao for me.”

Pei Qing and Zhao Shubao only sat for a while before they stood up to leave together. After Cheng Qi saw them out of the alchemy store, he looked at their backs and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

“What are you planning?” Tan Eyu asked, standing behind Cheng Qi with her arms folded. One look at his expression showed that the brat was restless again.

“Don’t you think those two are a good match? Just like the young master said, they look like husband and wife,” Cheng Qi chuckled and spoke.

“Your young master also asked you not to make random matchmaking,” Tan Eyu couldn’t help but remind him.

“The two of them could be called a pair made by accident. Today, the chubby cultivator is obviously interested in Pei Qing. But it’s strange that he was still worried about Pei Yu two days ago. How come he figured it out today?” Cheng Qi tilted his head and spoke.

“That only shows that this fat man is a wanton person and cannot be trusted,” Tan Eyu shook her head in disgust.

“Are you sure this is how a peach blossom calculation is used?” Cheng Qi always felt that something was wrong.

.

“Aren’t you going back to the Zhao Mansion?” After Pei Qing walked for a while, she found that Zhao Shubao was still walking with her and couldn’t help but ask.

She wanted to return to the Formation Guild, and the Zhao Mansion didn’t seem to be in this direction.

Zhao Shubao hesitated for a moment, then asked her, “Has Mu Jing been looking for you recently?”

Hearing Mu Jing, Pei Qing was in a daze for a moment, then shook her head and said, “I guess the Mu family had a lot of things going on, and they hadn’t appeared again in the past two days.”

“Mu Jing is not a good person. No matter what he says to you, you must never believe him again,” Zhao Shubao couldn’t help but remind her.

Pei Qing didn’t know yet that the real person behind their accident was Mu Jing, and she didn’t even know how Mu Jing had viewed her over the years. Zhao Shubao was worried that Pei Qing would forgive him after a few words of coaxing from Mu Jing.

“What happened to you today?” Pei Qing suddenly stopped. Zhao Shubao wasn’t the kind of person who would speak ill of others behind their backs. Could it be that Mu Jing had done something?

Zhao Shubao saw that no one was passing by in the alleyway they were in, so he said, “Mu Jing told me that you were the one who saved me when I fell into a well.”

“Did he see it?” Pei Qing frowned.

“Well, not only did he see, but that bastard also refused to save me, and he even had the nerve to think…” Zhao Shubao said this and swallowed the rest of his words.

However, Zhao Shubao didn’t say anything more, but Pei Qing quickly figured it out. All the problems between her and Mu Jing over the years were instantly answered.

Pei Qing twitched her lips at Zhao Shubao and said, “Thank you for telling me this.”

“I should thank you,” Zhao Shubao lowered his head and said in a dull voice.

“It’s nothing. If it were you, you would have done the same thing,” Pei Qing smiled and said, “I’ll leave first.”

“Pei Qing.” Zhao Shubao called out to stop her. Seeing that Pei Qing really stopped, he couldn’t say what he had intended. He hesitated for a while and then said, “Over the years, I have always mistaken Pei Yu for the person who saved me. But I just liked that person at that time.”

Hearing Zhao Shubao’s words, Pei Qing was stunned for a while, then said expressionlessly, “I just followed my heart to save people, you don’t have to do this, and what happened between me and Mu Jing wasn’t all because of you. We’re not a match, even if he doesn’t make this mistake, there will be something else.”

Zhao Shubao looked at Pei Qing, who had walked away, and sighed heavily.

“Fellow Cultivator Zhao, it turns out it was Miss Pei Qing who saved you.”

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Shubao was startled and immediately turned around to check, but there was no one behind him.

“I’m here, up here.”

Zhao Shubao then looked up following the voice and saw Cheng Qi, whom he had just met in the alchemy shop, hanging on the wall waving to him.

“Why are you here? Did you hear everything just now?” Zhao Shubao looked embarrassed. When he rejected by her, was it all seen? But this person had been hiding nearby, and he hadn’t noticed it at all.

“Well, do you like Miss Pei Qing? You have good taste this time,” Cheng Qi said with a smile while laying on the wall.

“It’s a pity that she just rejected me,” Zhao Shubao smiled helplessly.

“Maybe people don’t like others who casually pledge themselves,” Cheng Qi said to him.
