The Transmigrated Pharmacist’s Counterattack

Pei Xuanqing also took a brief bath after he returned and was still inside, changing his clothes when Qingfeng arrived.

Pei Qi, guarding the doorway, saw him and asked, “Why are you alone? Where is Young Master Lin?”

“The Eldest Young Madam requested this little one to come and confirm whether or not the Eldest Young Master was resting.”

“Go back and lead him over. Since the Eldest Young Master said to find him, he would wait for him.”

Qingfeng complied and turned back to lead Lin Yi over.

“What’s the matter?” Pei Xuanqing heard the voices from inside and came out after changing clothes.

Pei Qi explained the events, and Pei Xuanqing nodded without another word. He was preparing to wait for Lin Yi to come over when he heard a commotion outside the courtyard. Someone was coming.

Pei Xuanqing’s eye twitched. He didn’t like being disturbed. Except for his parents, others were unlikely to come and make themselves unwelcome. But just now, Lin Yi had awakened his spiritual element, and there were strange movements in the spiritual energy surrounding Heaven’s Query Courtyard……

“Young Master, this subordinate will go have a look.” Pei Qi was discontent. What type of place was Heaven’s Query Courtyard, and how dare those people come disturb their Young Master’s peace and quiet?

“Push me over there.” Pei Xuanqing said.

……

“Just now, there was something unusual about the spiritual energy above Heaven Query’s Courtyard. Xuanqing, what’s going on?”

“It was just one of the guards under my hand successfully awakening their spiritual element, just a small matter.”

“Which guard? Let us also take a look.”

“Yeah, Brother Xuanqing, those unusual movements in the spiritual energy just now weren’t small. Your guard’s talent must be pretty good, huh? The movement was similar to when you awakened your spiritual element back then. It’s just a pity that you had an accident and can’t cultivate any more. Otherwise, you would be the most promising to become a Spiritual King in the Pei Family right now. Now, which guard’s turn was it to overshadow your limelight?”

……Qingfeng was leading Lin Yi toward Pei Xuanqing’s residence, but before they neared, Lin Yi heard the sounds of people talking. At first, he was confused as to why Pei Xuanqing would conceal it for him, but after listening to the speaker’s tone, he felt something wasn’t quite right. Why was this person full of acid, pouring salt into Pei Xuanqing’s wounds?

In his previous life, after he was paralyzed and confined to a bed due to an accident, he had listened to those so-called relatives say those sorts of words dripping with acid to his face. They stabbed him in his sore spot while taking delight in others’ misfortune, wanting to step on his father’s head. He had long grown tired of hearing it and knew from the moment he heard the other person’s voice that they didn’t have good intentions.

“Who are the people that have come?” Lin Yi asked Qingfeng.

According to his temperament from his previous life, he would have gone out to fight back right away, but because Pei Xuanqing had concealed his situation just then, Lin Yi didn’t dare act recklessly.

Qingfeng responded angrily, “Those people are from the family’s collateral branch. The people speaking are the Fourth Master Pei, and the second, a Young Master of the collateral branch. The talent of those two is average, and although they awakened their spiritual element early, their cultivations have been stuck in the later stage of the Spiritualist Realm for many years without a breakthrough. Were it not for what happened to our Young Master……where would they find the courage to speak such words in front of him?!”

“Are they usually this arrogant?”

“The entire Pei Family is in the hands of the Patriarch, the Master, and the Madam. Usually, they wouldn’t dare act so arrogantly in front of our Young Master. If the Patriarch wasn’t……”

Speaking up to this point, Qingfeng’s words came to an abrupt stop, obviously realizing that he almost said something that he shouldn’t have. He paused momentarily and then continued, “In short, normally, they never dare to be so impudent in front of the Eldest Young Master.”

Lin Yi’s brows knit. Then why did those people dare to be so brazen now? Furthermore, what were Qingfeng’s unspoken words?

He already felt that the atmosphere in the Pei Residence seemed out of place before, but now it appeared that perhaps his intuition wasn’t wrong……

“Nothing but an ordinary guard, nothing worth mentioning. Fourth Uncle and Seventh Brother have mobilized so many people to visit; is there some other important matter?” At that moment, Pei Xuanqing spoke up with indifference.

“Young Master, you’re not well. Apart from being in charge of resource distribution within the residence, the Patriarch has already made it clear that no one should disturb you about other matters.” Pei Qi said.

Upon hearing Pei Xuanqing speak, Lin Yi stopped thinking and perked up his ears.

But for some reason, the arrogance of the man who spoke just now suddenly plummeted——

“We just came over because we were concerned about you, afraid of what might have happened within Heaven’s Query Courtyard. Since it’s nothing, we can rest assured.”

“Oh yes, oh yes. Since Brother Xuanqing is fine, we’ll be on our way.”
