Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely

Chapter 254: Rejection

??

Yang Tianqi looked at the person in front of him and recognized him at a glance. It was the man he had seen beside the arena just now. Just now, it was this man who spoke while the two children were fighting, causing a lot of controversy.

Although he did not think that whether this guy spoke or not would affect the outcome of the entire battle, there were two children standing above after all. It was more or less inappropriate for an adult like him to point fingers below the stage.

“I’m Li Yuanqing. We met in the arena just now. You haven’t forgotten, right?”

Yang Tianqi felt strange when he saw this fellow come looking for him again. He looked at him and asked, “I didn’t forget, but why did you find this place? Could it be that there’s something else?”

Li Yuanqing smiled and looked inside.

Yang Tianqi saw that he seemed to be deliberately exploring his room. He turned his body and blocked most of Li Yuanqing’s vision. He said to Li Yuanqing unhappily, “If you have anything to say, say it early. I still have something to do. I’m afraid I don’t have time to entertain you.”

“I’m here to look for the child just now. I heard from Hall Master Wang that you’re his father.”

Yang Tianqi’s face immediately fell. He looked at Li Yuanqing with a dark expression. “Young Master, I don’t know why you’re looking for our Little Zhi.”

Li Yuanqing looked much more relaxed. “So he’s called Little Zhi. Actually, it’s nothing. It’s mainly because I saw the two children competing just now. This child looks worried and timid. I feel that if this continues, it will probably be very disadvantageous to his cultivation, so I wanted to come up and take a look.”

“Hmph!” Yang Tianqi’s expression was already ugly enough. After Li Yuanqing finished speaking, his expression was as dark as a piece of soil in a latrine. “There’s no need for you to trouble yourself. I’ll teach my son well. You can leave.”

As Yang Tianqi spoke, a thick fog rolled up behind him, wanting to activate the seal here again and reject Li Yuanqing. However, just as he turned around, he felt as if someone was still watching him from behind. He looked back in confusion and realized that for some reason, the fog was stuck there.

Li Yuanqing was still standing outside the barrier and looking at him with a smile. “I think Mr. Yang should let me in.”

Yang Tianqi tried his best to push the barrier, but it seemed to be stuck here. No matter how hard he tried, there was no movement at all. It really made him anxious for no reason.

After a fruitless attempt, he simply gave up. He looked at Li Yuanqing coldly and said, “Young Master, I think I’ve already made it very clear that outsiders have no right to interfere in our family’s matters. I advise you not to poke your nose into other people’s business. Also, if you continue to stay here and don’t leave, I won’t be polite!”

Yang Tianqi looked at Li Yuanqing coldly, wanting to warn him again and chase him away. However, this fellow seemed to not care at all. He continued to stroll around leisurely and became even more impudent.

“Mr. Yang, I don’t have any ill intentions. I just want to come over and chat with you. I hope you can take some time out so that I could talk to you and your son. I think Little Zhi is a very talented child.”

“How many more times do you want me to say it? I’ve made it clear to you. Please leave immediately!”

Yang Tianqi spoke very forcefully, but he realized that his body had moved away slightly. He was originally blocking in front of Li Yuanqing, but for some reason, he suddenly made way. Li Yuanqing even nodded at him very politely and walked straight in along a small path.

Yang Tianqi stood at the side of the path and watched as this uninvited guest barged into his cave abode. However, he was helpless. His entire body seemed to have been petrified and could not move.

“What are you doing? Get out!”

Even though Yang Tianqi kept warning him, Li Yuanqing did not stop at all. He passed him and walked into the cave abode.

This small cave abode was quite unique, but the decorations inside were very simple and crude. A few simple pieces of furniture were casually placed there, and it was not needed in ordinary time.

Most of the time, cultivators will cultivate in their cave abodes. As for the enjoyment outside the mortal world, it was mostly as little as possible.

There were a total of five small rooms in the cave abode. Li Yuanqing took a simple look. The two small rooms in front were very clean and bright, and the few behind were filled with miscellaneous items.

At this moment, Yang Tianqi finally regained his movements. He hurriedly rushed in from outside and saw Li Yuanqing enter his son’s room.

“You bastard, I’ll fight you to the death!” Yang Tianqi roared and widened his eyes in anger. He took out a golden spear. He brandished his golden spear and rushed into his son’s room. He saw Li Yuanqing sitting beside Yang Zhi, seemingly chatting with him.

“You clearly have the absolute upper hand in terms of strength and stamina, but why are you always so timid in terms of offensive knowledge? If you were in actual combat, you would lose your life for no reason. Do you know that?”

Yang Zhi looked up at his father and sat there nervously, not daring to move. He did not know how this unfamiliar uncle had come in, but it sounded like his father was very angry. He had seen this guy just now. He was the man who helped that brat cheat below. Why was he at home now?

“You bastard, if you’ve got anything, you should come at me, why did you implicate the child! Let my son go!”

Yang Tianqi widened his eyes in anger and glared at Li Yuanqing, but there was nothing he could do. His son was now in Li Yuanqing’s hands, and this guy’s strength was unfathomable. If he killed him because he was unhappy, his son’s life would be gone just like that.

Li Yuanqing turned to look at him and sighed helplessly. “I think your son is considered talented, but why is he so frightened by you for no reason? Haven’t you ever considered him since he was young?”

“You have the cheek to say that about me. You barged into my cave abode for no reason and still dare to point fingers at me and say that I scared my son. I think you’re too arrogant!”

“Mr. Yang, don’t be nervous. I only came in to chat with you and your son. I don’t have any ill intentions.”

“If you really don’t have any ill intentions, let my son go first. Everything else is fine.”

Yang Tianqi pointed behind him.

“I’ve already informed the guards outside. It won’t be long before the City Lord Manor sends someone over. At that time, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to. Do you know that the City Lord is very strict with bandits like you? If you’re captured, you’ll die!”

Although Yang Tianqi looked like a boorish man, he still had some rationality. He knew that he could not resist Li Yuanqing with his own strength. He might as well scare this guy away quickly and save his son’s life first. If this person went crazy, his son would die young.

Li Yuanqing was about to speak when a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the cave abode.

When Yang Tianqi heard the commotion outside, he immediately became happy. He glared at Li Yuanqing and said, “I’m warning you, it’s not too late for you to regret it now. Hurry up and let my son go. I can tell the inspectors outside that it was all a misunderstanding. Otherwise, you won’t be their match if we really fight!”

Li Yuanqing, on the other hand, looked indifferent because he had heard the voice just now. It was clearly Hall Master Wang who had rushed over with his men.

“Is there anyone inside? Why isn’t there any movement?”

Hall Master Wang looked around outside and asked several times, but no one replied. He did not know where this family had gone. Just now, Young Master Li had clearly said that he was here, but now, he was silent.

“Young Master Li?”

Hall Master Wang felt that it was strange, so he carefully brought the little beggar into Yang Tianqi’s cave abode from this path. He looked around and arrived at Yang Zhi’s door. He happened to see Yang Tianqi’s back. He seemed to be hostile to someone.

“Inspector, you came at the right time. Someone has forcefully barged into my cave abode. I hope you can take him down quickly!”

Yang Tianqi did not dare to relax his grip on the spear. He turned around and looked at Hall Master Wang. However, he was stunned when he saw who it was. He thought it was a team, but he did not expect to be a single person. Moreover, this guy looked old. At his age, could he still have the strength to take him down? It didn’t seem right.

Yang Tianqi’s expression changed slightly, but he did not know what to do. He was already here, so he could only give up.

“Lord Envoy, the two of us will attack together. Let’s take this person down first. This person is abnormally arrogant and his attacks are quite strange. Moreover, his cultivation technique seems to be a little strange. Lord Envoy, you have to be careful later. Don’t fall into his trap!”

Hall Master Wang put on a defensive posture and carefully leaned in. He was still thinking that some bandits had really come, but when he came in, he saw that this was not a bandit. This was clearly Li Yuanqing holding the little fellow just now.

“Young Master Li?” Hall Master Wang heaved a sigh of relief. “Why are you here? I was looking for you outside for a long time. I was thinking that you would wait for me outside. I didn’t expect you to come in first.”

As soon as Hall Master Wang entered, he chatted with Li Yuanqing enthusiastically, stunning everyone.

Yang Tianqi originally thought that his help had arrived, but he did not expect that they were clearly together. No wonder he looked so strange. No matter how he looked at it, he did not look like a proper inspector.

Only then did Yang Tianqi recognize who this guy in front of him was. Wasn’t this the Hall Master Wang of the library? Why was he here?

“Hall Master Wang, why did you come to my cave abode?”

“Lord Yang, put down your weapon first. The person in front of me is not a bandit. This is the City Lord’s esteemed guest. Young Master Li seemed to be a little rude just now. I’ll apologize to you here.”

Yang Tianqi was actually an official in the City Lord Manor. Although Yang Tianqi still did not understand where Li Yuanqing came from, since Hall Master Wang had said so, he could only put down the weapon in his hand obediently. He lowered the spear for the time being and stared at the two of them in confusion.

“Hall Master Wang, are you saying that Young Master Li doesn’t have any ill intentions?”

“Lord Yang, it’s a misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding. Young Master Li is really an esteemed guest. Lord Yang, take it as giving me face. Can you not mind?”

Yang Tianqi’s expression softened a little, but he still did not look too good. “If it’s Hall Master Wang, I naturally have to give you face. However, this person’s actions are strange. He forced his way in without any good intentions. Our family doesn’t welcome him.”

“Well…”

Hall Master Wang looked at Li Yuanqing and was in a dilemma. There shouldn’t have been so much trouble. Why did Li Yuanqing barge in alone? He thought that Li Yuanqing was just chatting with him outside. Who knew that he would be so careless and barge into his cave abode? No wonder he was so angry.

It would not be easy to appease his emotions in this situation. It made him a little troubled.

“Yes, in that case, Young Master Li was at fault first. He shouldn’t have barged into your house casually.”

Hall Master Wang was stuck in the middle. He could not say anything to any of them and could only barely find a way out for himself.

“Since things have come to this, and we’re already here, why don’t we hear what Young Master Li has to say? I don’t think Young Master Li would be in such a hurry to barge in if it wasn’t an urgent matter. Don’t you think so?”

Seeing that Hall Master Wang could not do anything to this young man, Yang Tianqi restrained himself and did not plan to argue with Li Yuanqing anymore.

“However, no matter what, you can’t barge into my house so rashly. This is really inappropriate. This time, it happened to be someone that Hall Master Wang knows. If not for the fact that you know him, I’m afraid I would really have to call the inspectors over to capture him.”

“That’s right. Since there’s such a connection here, let’s just forget about this matter. It’s not a big deal. If it gets out of hand, it won’t be appropriate to disturb the fellow Daoists beside us.”

Yang Tianqi turned around and looked at Li Yuanqing. “In that case, can you release my son first? How long do you plan to control my son?”

Hall Master Wang hurriedly jogged over and pulled Yang Zhi out of Li Yuanqing’s arms. He even said with a smile, “If Young Master has anything to say to this child, you should tell his father first. If you do this directly, I’m afraid it will be more or less inconvenient.”

Yang Zhi jogged behind his father and secretly looked at Li Yuanqing.
