Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

The two of them went downstairs to have a meal. The waiter at the inn was quite enthusiastic and immediately brought them meals, tea, and several snacks, which finally made Cheng Qi feel more comfortable.

Li Tianyan couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Cheng Qi immersed in his meal, looking like he wanted to eat the spirit stones back.

“The food here tastes good, but the meat and vegetables have no spiritual power,” Cheng Qi chewed the food in his mouth and said with a look of disgust. “I’ve eaten too much meat from the core formation beast recently in the mountains. This kind of small spiritual beast that can’t even build a foundation tastes boring. Fortunately, the chef in the inn is pretty good at it.”

“Young master, this is delicious. Try it.” Cheng Qi tasted the dishes on the table one by one, then picked up his favourite dish and put it into Li Tianyan’s bowl.

“Don’t eat in a hurry, have a sip of tea.” Li Tianyan saw that his mouth was full and put the tea cup to Cheng Qi’s mouth, asking him to take a sip first.

There were a lot of people sitting in the lobby at that time. In addition to the guests who stayed there like them, there were also some people who came to drink and dine. Among them, the foundation-establishment cultivators accounted for most. The two of them sat in the corner, but they didn’t attract anyone’s attention.

Li Tianyan ate snacks slowly while listening to other cultivators chatting and collecting some useful information.

“Brother Liu, what’s the wind blowing today? You actually invited me to a place like this for dinner.”

“I was lucky enough to hunt a spiritual beast in the past two days. Don’t you think I’m good enough? I thought of you first as soon as I got the spiritual stone.”

“Spiritual beast, then I won’t be polite to you. Waiter, bring us two jars of spiritual wine first, and then bring out your delicious dishes.”

“You’re too cruel. I only exchanged hundreds of spiritual stones for it. Do you want to make me poor all at once?”

It seemed that this alliance city had high expenses and high income. A foundation-establishment spirit beast could be exchanged for hundreds of spirit stones. Li Tianyan felt relieved now.

Then, he heard the only table of core formation cultivators in the inn chatting. “I’ve heard a lot of people mention Ancestor Yin recently. Is he really back?”

“He came back a few days ago. I heard that after he was trapped in the old site of the Imperial Tomb, he found an ancient formation and studied it for several years. The magic of the formation has improved by leaps and bounds. Only then did he finally think of a way to escape. Now he’s a heaven-level formation master.”

“A blessing in disguise.”

“Isn’t that right? He had been missing for so many years. I thought he had died. I didn’t expect that he would have a great opportunity. A heaven-level formation master was someone everyone wanted to win over. Ancestor Yin had recently lived in the Pei family. The door of Pei’s house was almost broken.”

“With an in-law like Ancestor Yin, the Pei family would definitely prosper from now on.”

“It wasn’t easy to curry favour with the Pei family now. Someone had already gone to curry favour with the Mu family. When Mu Jing and Pei Qing got married, Ancestor Yin would definitely get closer to the Mu family.”

“That’s true. Why didn’t I think of that? Mu Jing is lucky. Ancestor Yin has a good granddaughter. His mantle would definitely be passed on to the two of them in the future.”

Hearing this, Li Tianyan also guessed the identity of Ancestor Yin. It seemed that the Pei family and the Mu family were going to have a good show. He wondered how Mu Jing would react when he learned that this ancestor was still alive.

At this moment, another cultivator came in and was greeted by a few familiar people.

“Didn’t you go to Huwei Prefecture to deliver something, why are you back now?” As soon as the cultivator sat down, the fellow cultivator at the same table asked.

“Don’t mention it, I almost couldn’t come back today.” The cultivator said as he took a sip of wine.

Hearing Huwei Prefecture, Cheng Qi’s eating movements slowed down.

“Why couldn’t you come back? Were you robbed? Did you come to the teleportation formation without the spirit stone?”

“That wasn’t the case. It’s just that something happened over there in Huwei Prefecture. It was very chaotic. Hei Yin of the wolf clan took the mastiff beast and looked for two human cultivators in Minghai City. They also blocked the teleportation formation from being used.”

“The wolves are too arrogant. Can the city guards of Minghai City agree?”

“They refused to agree. The two parties argued for a long time. Fortunately, someone from the wolf clan came and took Hei Yin back. Otherwise, nothing could have been done.”

“What happened in Huwei Prefecture?” Another person asked curiously.

The cultivator took a few sips of spiritual wine and then told a few people about the news he had heard in Huwei Prefecture. The voices in the lobby gradually became quieter, and it was obvious that everyone else was also listening to what the cultivator had said.

This was already the second time Cheng Qi had heard someone mention it, but he was still interested, as if he had never heard what the person was talking about.

The two of them were leisurely drinking tea and listening to a show in the inn, but just as Li Tianyan had imagined, the Pei family was putting on a good show.

After Mu Jing and the others left Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, they immediately took the teleportation formation back to Xuanding Prefecture. Without the wind chime bird beasts, they had to rely on the feather birds led by Chen Feng to travel. On the third day, they finally returned to the Alliance City.

As soon as Pei Yu arrived home, before she could go back to the courtyard to discuss things with her mother, she was blocked in the hall by a bunch of elders from the Pei family, asking why Pei Qing hadn’t come back with her.

Seeing the situation in front of her, Pei Yu couldn’t help but be dumbfounded. Pei Qing had had no sense of presence at home in these years. She thought that even if Pei Qing didn’t come back for a few months, no one would notice.
