Chapter 69: Make A Guess!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Young Shopkeeper Song was shivering in anger.
“How dare you! You finally spoke the truth!”
Shopkeeper Song looked at his son calmly and said, “It’s not the first ti I told you this anyway. After the 6th Prince consus one of these pills, you will take one too.”
The young shopkeeper’s mouth twitched. “Why? Why should I eat it? Are you afraid that I cannot keep it a secret? Don’t worry, my lips are sealed.”
Shopkeeper Song shook his head slowly and looked at the whip on the table.
“If you had not misheard Master Celestial’s identity, this would never have happened. So... do you think you can get away with it without a proper LESSON?”
Young Shopkeeper Song was rendered speechless.
Damn! This old man is so harsh on ! Am I even your child!?
Shen Ao and Shen Tian felt very awkward as they watched the bickering duo.
This Shopkeeper Song is a ruthless man through and through! To think he feeds his son a Forgetting Pill every ti he beats him...
Is he trying to toughen him up for the world’s hardships by mimicking it himself? What a ‘spectacular’ way of teaching!
Shen Ao felt a chill coursing down his spine.
The way Shopkeeper Song thought was too abnormal, and Shen Ao was unable to comprehend it. He believed that it would be wiser for him to take the Forgetting Pill as soon as possible.
“Since Shopkeeper Song has the pill with you, let’s settle it as soon as possible.”
Shopkeeper Song shook his head again. “This Forgetting Pill is low-grade and only works on Qi Refinent cultivators. The 6th Prince has already reached the Foundation Establishnt stage. You can make the pill lose its effect easily.”
Shen Ao quickly responded, “No, I promise! I’ll not do it. Seriously!”
Shopkeeper Song said, “There is no way to tell for sure!”
Shen Ao tried to explain further, but he felt sothing hit him on the head and passed out.
Bang!
“Okay, it’s settled now. All we needed to do was knock him out, easy peasy.”
Shen Tian calmly stored his Purple Golden Hamr in his Archeon Sea Ring.
To be honest, the feeling of the strike was aweso. He felt like Thor with that hamr and enjoyed the sensation a lot!
Shen Ao lay flat on the ground motionlessly.
Shopkeeper Song and his son looked at each other in silence, secretly admiring Master Celestial.
They were calling each other ‘brother’ just a minute ago, yet he struck him with the hamr without hesitation... After suffering such a blow, is the Forgetting Pill really necessary? Forget it, let’s just feed him one to be safe.
Shopkeeper Song forced Shen Ao’s mouth open and stuffed the Forgetting Pill down his throat.
Shen Tian nodded and said, “My brother arrived in the Myriad Spirit Garden today, so he will forget about it. However, what about the wounds on his face and head?”
Shen Tian pondered for a mont and took out the healing pill Shen Ao had gifted him the other day.
Karma indeed exists in the cultivation world. My brother had gifted sothing, and I am now repaying him with that sa thing. Interesting...
After he was forced to consu the healing pill, Shen Ao’s wounds started to heal.
“Quit staring at , bring him out.” Shen Tian said helplessly, “Let’s pretend nothing happened today.”
Shopkeeper Song nodded and said, “I understand. It’s my fault for not teaching my son properly. Sorry for the trouble.
“Master Celestial, rest assured. I’ll teach my son a proper lesson after we are done with the 6th Prince. I will feed him with the Forgetting Pill. No third party will know what happened today!”
Young Shopkeeper Song: “...”
Shopkeeper Song frowned and shouted, “Yes? Do you have anything to say? Master Celestial would have never landed his finger on his brother if not for you! Don’t you think you deserve a beating?”
Young Shopkeeper Song felt there was sothing not right in that statent but decided not to argue anymore. “Dad... you are right.”
Shopkeeper Song scoffed and said, “What happened today is related to Master Celestial’s identity. It will be better if you forget it!
“I’ve been running a business for years and have a tight mouth. Who knows what you will say in the future about today’s events? Can you be responsible for what happens then?”
Young Shopkeeper Song shook his head furiously and replied, “Dad, stop. I’ll take the pill, okay?”
Shen Tian nodded.
“You guys settle the 6th Prince first. I have sothing I need to do right now.”
After saying that, Shen Tian walked out of the chamber.
Eunuch Gui quickly greeted Shen Tian.
“Your Highness, you are back. Did Shopkeeper Song do anything to you?”
Shen Tian smiled and shook his head. He left the Sky Spirit Pavilion without saying a word.
Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao looked at each other, feeling that sothing was not right. They quickly followed Shen Tian and asked, “Your Highness, is there sothing wrong?”
Shen Tian replied calmly, “The Divine Firmant Drager Pendant and Yin-Yang Mixed Divine Lightning are hot potatoes, so we cannot stay in Myriad Spirit Garden any longer. Let’s pack up and return to the palace.”
Eunuch Gui nodded. “Yes, Your Highness.”
In fact, Eunuch Gui wanted to suggest the sa thing to Shen Tian. The Yin-Yang Mixed Divine Lightning was too precious and would attract unwanted attention. Shen Tian was not exactly low-profile these two days, so more powers like Black Blood might start to target them soon.
The prince noticed it before I reminded him... He’s a grown man now. If Concubine Lan knew, she would definitely be happy!
They packed their stuff swiftly, exited the inn, and left the Myriad Spirit Garden at night.
...
Shopkeeper Song and his son placed Shen Ao in a giant box and transported him out of Myriad Spirit Garden when their neighbors were all asleep.
They left Shen Ao under a big tree and observed from afar.
After a few hours, Shen Ao finally awoke and looked at his body blankly.
“What happened to ? Why am I here? I cannot recall at all. Did I suffer Qi Deviation?
“But I should feel the pain in my dantian, right? Why does it feel okay?
“My face hurts instead... It feels like soone had been slapping non-stop... My head hurts too...”
The Songs were relieved to see that Shen Ao woke up without rembering anything.
When they reached ho, Shopkeeper Song took out a Forgetting Pill and passed it to his son. “I’ll not beat you this ti, just take the pill.”
Young Shopkeeper Song felt touched. “Dad! Really?”
Shopkeeper Song rubbed his son’s head and said, “Why would I lie to you? You are my son. You caused all the trouble, so I had to sound stern for Master Celestial to forgive you. Go back to your room and rest after taking this pill.”
Although Young Shopkeeper Song felt sothing was not right, he was glad that he did not have to suffer the beating. Thus, he received the Forgetting Pill and swallowed it.
Seeing that his son had left, Shopkeeper Song could finally heave a sigh of relief.
He could beat his son any ti he wanted. Thus, his priority was to ensure that Young Shopkeeper Song took the Forgetting Pill—that was the most important thing to do.
“Finally, I can have a proper rest.”
Shopkeeper Song felt fatigue gushing over his body after he had settled everything. He bathed and fell asleep on the bed.
The next day, Shopkeeper Song opened his eyes slowly, and what ca into view was the excited Young Shopkeeper Song.
“Dad! Why did you wake up so late today? It’s noonti.
“Guess what! I t a little thief today. He’s so ignorant that he pretended to be Master Celestial before !
“Haha, I’m a Celebeliver too! I knew he’s a fake, of course! How could I just watch this guy making a fool out of our Master Celestial? Make a guess, what did I do to this thief?”
Shopkeeper Song almost fainted!
