Chapter 75 - The Scum Is Talented
Qian Lin bought Lei Ling's talismans. Qian Lin never said anything about Lei Ling's talismans being mediocre compared to Cheng Sheng's. He only stared at the talismans in front of Lei Ling, making Lei Ling embarrassed as if he's the one being inspected of Qian Lin instead. "M-Many thanks, second young master Qian, for buying my talismans." Lei Ling gestured to Qian Lin. In his heart, he is very, very happy. He can buy his own clothes now! He won't be looked down on by the people!
He remembered the young master he met before. Suddenly, he made a pause. I wonder how he is now? He had secretly stuck a Bad Luck Talisman on the young master. The young master looked very wealthy. If he'd hire a master cultivator, he would know a Bad Luck Talisman was stuck on him. Lei Ling regretted he didn't stick a Concealment Talisman to the Bad Luck Talisman. Three talismans will be too conspicuous and the young master would surely notice his evil intentions. I hope we won't meet again… he thought in his heart.
"Do you also sell magic pills?" Qian Lin suddenly asked. Unanimously, the Xinfaxian Sect disciples turned to Cheng Sheng.
Cheng Sheng humbly smiled. "I didn't have the chance to make my own magic pills during our travel. I apologize if I won't be able to sell magic pills to second young master Qian." He explained. "Our shimei is also a pill refiner. Perhaps second young master Qian can buy something from her?" he asked. "Our shimei may not be a master mage, but her magic pills are not worse than mine." He said. Many now knew about him being also a mage aside from being a sword cultivator after his name was exposed as the maker of the Cleansing Talisman. His ten years of peaceful like was disrupted because of the demonic cultivators suddenly attacking the Youxiwang Sect. If not for it, he will still remain an idle young master unrestrained in the Xinfaxian Sect. Now, however, it's like he's walking on a very thin ice. He needs to be careful of his every actions. Thus, Fei Yin was highly guarding him every night in case he's sneak out again, like he always did for ten years. Fortunately, during the ten years, Cheng Sheng never have left the Xinfaxian. Or else, who knows he might stumble upon the demonic cultivators, and his soul will be extracted and refined by them.
You Rou blushed at the sudden mention of her. She turned to Cheng Sheng, her eyes wide as if telling him 'why are you selling me out, Cheng-shixiong?'. Then, she shyly looked at Qian Lin. "Second young master Qian. I refined Muscle Repairing Pills and Bone Regrowing Pills. I also have Energy Conserving Pills." She said. She didn't mention the Rejuvenating Pill since it was only for women. Restoration Pills are Cheng Sheng's specialty. It can heal wounds and internal injuries, returning your body to its former condition.
Qian Lin looked at her, appreciation in his eyes. "Very well. Give me five bottles of each pills!" He decisively said as he took out his qiankun pouch. "As an apology for my fellow disciples whom I always give a headache every time I sneak out, I'll gift these to them." he explained as he gave his money pouch to You Rou.
"Second young master Qian is very considerate. I will gift to you the bag." You Rou said as she gave the bag containing the fifteen bottles to Qian Lin.
Lei Ling's eyes sparkled. Being a mage is really profiting! No wonder Cheng-shixiong strived being a mage, too! He thought and looked at Cheng Sheng in awe. He was right to follow him! "Oh, right." Qian Lin said. "Have you already settled for an inn? I can introduce you to the innkeeper where our sect is staying – " he said.
However, he still hasn't finished his words when they heard a loud voice called. "Ah Sheng!" it was definitely Chen Han. "Ah Sheng, you've finally arrived!" he said as he, Sun Yi and the disciples of the Youxiwang Sect approached them. "Ah Tian." He called, his voice intimate when he saw Li Tian. Li Tian blushed and looked away. "Hm?" he then saw Qian Lin. "Second young master Qian."
Qian Lin smiled and cupped his hands. "Greetings, young master Chen." He said. "Second young master Sun." he saw Sun Yi.
Sun Yi nodded at Qian Lin. He has a favorable look in his eyes. Compared to Xi Shi, Qian Lin is much better than him. "Second young master Qian is having a chat with your fellow second young masters?" he said and looked at Fei Yin and Cheng Sheng. Sun Yi is also a second young master, since he's the second son of the Sun Family.
Qian Lin chuckled. "Yes." he answered.
"Second young master!" the Qianxu Sect disciples called when they finally found Qian Lin. "Second young master… QAQ" they wanted to cry. This is the nth time Qian Lin left them.
"Aia! They found me." Qian Lin smiled in embarrassment. "Well, then. I had to take my leave. We will see each other again." He told them, then walked towards his fellow disciples.
"Ah Sheng." Chen Han called as he walked towards Cheng Sheng. "What did Qian Lin talked with you?" he asked.
"We only exchanged greetings. Then, my shidi and shimei did business with him." Cheng Sheng explained. "Why, brother?" he asked when he saw Chen Han's serious expression.
"Nothing." Chen Han said. "I already reserved rooms for your sect. I'll take you there." He told Cheng Sheng.
Feng Mo and Lei Ling were impressed while Lei Qing and You Rou were surprised. "Many thanks, Chen-shixiong, for being accommodating." Fei Yin said. The others followed him.
Chen Han looked at Li Tian. "Ah Tian." He called, looking embarrassed. His cheeks are flushed. "Am I good?" he asked. Ever since he introduced Li Tian to his parents, he is striving for Li Tian's favor. However, there weren't many chances for him to show his strengths to him because of the events that followed.
Li Tian heard Chen Han's questions and his face reddened. He looked away. "T-Thank you very much… Chen-shixiong." He muttered and lowered his head. Why does he have to call him out of their group?
Chen Han chuckled. Sun Yi smiled while the Youxiwang Sect disciples looked favorably to the Xinfaxian sect disciples. "Let's go. We can have our lunch after they settled." Sun Yi spoke.
"Let's go!" Chen Han said. He wanted to pull Li Tian, but could only pull Cheng Sheng when Li Tian hid behind Feng Mo to avoid him. Ai. He sighed in his heart. He has to work harder to marry his wife!
