Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

“Brother Mu.”

“Pei Yu?” Mu Jing was a little surprised when he saw the person who came in and hurriedly hid the book in his hand. “Why did you come to me suddenly today?”

“Brother Mu, you must help me.” Pei Yu stepped forward and took Mu Jing’s hand, speaking eagerly.

Seeing tears in her eyes, Mu Jing raised his hand and waved away the servants at the door of the study, then took Pei Yu aside and sat down. “Did something happen?”

“Grandpa, my grandparents want to marry me to the lord of Hunnan City, but that man already has many wives and concubines. I don’t want to marry him. Please help me find a way.” Pei Yu was really anxious because her mother had actually tempted her as well.

“Have you ever gone to find Zhao Shubao?” Mu Jing frowned and asked.

“I’ve been there, but Fatty Zhao doesn’t care about me. Only Brother Mu can help me this time.” Pei Yu thought of Zhao Shubao, feeling angry and sad at the same time, but she didn’t notice that Mu Jing’s face was growing uglier by the moment.

“Pei Yu? Did you come to me because Zhao Shubao ignored you?” Mu Jing stretched out his hand to imprison her between his arms and looked at her with slightly narrowed eyes.

“Brother Mu, can you help me?” Pei Yu asked angrily.

In the past, whether it was Mu Jing, Zhao Shubao, or Chen Feng, they all obeyed her gentle words. But now, Zhao Shubao ignored her, Chen Feng had left the Alliance City and returned to the Chen family, and Mu Jing was completely like a different person.

“Then let me ask you, is it because the city lord has a lot of wives and concubines that you don’t want to marry, or is it for some other reason?” Mu Jing asked her again.

To be called a city lord, he had to be at least a cultivator of the Divine Transformation. The Pei family made a good calculation by exchanging Pei Yu for a backer in the Divine Transformation stage. It was a sure profit.

“Of course, I don’t want to marry because I don’t like him,” Pei Yu said.

The city lord was already over a thousand years old. Although the man still had a long lifespan, she had just turned eighteen this year and didn’t want to be with an old monster.

“Really? Is it because you don’t like him?” Mu Jing murmured.

Originally, he thought that as long as Pei Yu stopped looking for Zhao Shubao, they might be able to start over. But now, it seemed that Pei Yu didn’t have him in her heart at all.

“Brother Mu, why are you getting more and more weird lately? You were never like this before.” Pei Yu’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Then let me ask you, do you really not want to marry that person?” Mu Jing’s fingers gently slid over her beautiful face.

As for why he had liked Pei Yu in the past, apart from her face, it must have been because he wanted to see Zhao Shubao, the person he had envied, losing someone he liked.

All the young masters from the aristocratic families in Alliance City had followed him, and everyone had to listen to him and give in. However, Zhao Shubao was the one who had been ignored.

But as they grew up, everyone around them had gradually begun to favour Zhao Shubao. Those who had followed him had gradually started to take Zhao Shubao as their leader. Even his mother kept telling him to please him Zhao Zhubao

In order to rid himself of Zhao Shubao’s shadow, he even practiced hard. Even though his cultivation level was much higher than Zhao Shubao’s, it seemed he couldn’t change it. Only Pei Yu made him feel more satisfied and superior than ever before.

It was a pity that Pei Yu had also rebelled. Thinking of this, Mu Jing’s face darkened as if ink could drip from it. “If you really don’t want to marry, I have a way.”

“A top-quality medicinal pill has been produced again, and Fellow Cultivator Li is very skilled,” Zhao Shubao said with excitement, then looked down at his alchemy furnace. “Sure enough, when I competed with Fellow Cultivator Li, my alchemy skills are much worse. This time, I actually have two middle-grade ones.”

“With your alchemy skills, as long as your cultivation level can keep up, it won’t be a problem to produce the best. However, if you still want to polish it, you can work more on the tempering spirit grass,” Li Tianyan said to him.

“Thank you, Fellow Cultivator Li, for your advice,” Zhao Shubao responded humbly.

“Cultivation of alchemy to a certain level can complement each other with cultivation, but before that, you still have to rely on your own practice to achieve alchemy. Only cultivation is the foundation of one’s life. Only when there is a foundation can one branches out,” Li Tianyan couldn’t help but remind him. “Fellow Cultivator Zhao, please don’t be discouraged.”

In fact, Zhao Shubao had a pure heart and unique views on alchemy. If he could take his practice seriously, he would definitely achieve success in alchemy in the future.

Zhao Shubao couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this, then raised his hands and said, “Listening to what Fellow Cultivator Li said is truly enlightening.”

The two chatted for a few words when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Tan Eyu’s voice immediately sounded outside the door, “Miss Pei and Ancestor Yin are here to visit.”

“I’ll be there right away,” Li Tianyan replied.

“Pei Qing is here.” When Zhao Shubao heard that Pei Qing was coming with her grandfather, his pride disappeared instantly.

“What’s going on between you and her recently?” Li Tianyan looked at Zhao Shubao, who suddenly became flustered, and found it interesting. No wonder Cheng Qi always liked to tease him.

“I met her some time ago when I went to the Formation Guild. She still treated me the same as before. There was no difference.” Zhao Shubao shook his head and spoke.

He had acted too hastily the last time. Fortunately, Pei Qing didn’t avoid him because of that. It was better to take his time with this matter.

Li Tianyan put away the alchemy cauldron and stood up, saying to him, “Let’s go, Ancestor Yin is here too, let’s go out and meet him.”

Zhao Shubao also quickly stood up and straightened his clothes. “Okay, okay.”
