Chapter 21: Chapter 21: A Little Trinket for You
"Has Senior Li Changqing arrived?" Yan Botao’s eyes lit up, as he had been hoping for Li Changqing’s arrival recently.
Previously, the token for the main offering had been given, but Li Changqing had not co. He had almost given up hope.
He thought he could find an excuse for Yan Yushi after a while and then visit Li Changqing to build rapport.
Who knew today would finally co.
He had been worried that Li Changqing might look down upon a small family like the Yan family.
Now it seed there was still hope.
If the Yan family could secure Li Changqing’s support, Yan Botao was confident they could beco the number one family in Changting Town.
They might even hold a place in all of Minghong State.
The Yan family’s opportunity had arrived!
"Where is Senior Li Changqing?" Yan Botao hurriedly tidied up his attire, ready to et Li Changqing.
"I heard he headed to Ten Thousand Books Tower," the Third Elder said curiously. "I wonder what Senior Li Changqing intends to do there?"
"Ten Thousand Books Tower?" Yan Botao paused in his actions and pondered for a long ti before saying, "Keep an eye on the happenings over there. Inform
if there’s anything, and notify
if Senior Li Changqing needs anything."
"We won’t go there?" the Third Elder couldn’t help but ask.
"Senior Li Changqing might want to read so books at the Ten Thousand Books Tower; we shouldn’t disturb him. But make sure he reads comfortably; this is our Yan family’s chance," Yan Botao said seriously.
"Oh, right, order to block the Ten Thousand Books Tower. No one from the family is allowed to enter until Senior Li Changqing cos out," Yan Botao thought it over.
The Third Elder nodded continuously after hearing this, and then hesitated for a mont before saying, "There’s one more thing."
"What’s the matter?" Seeing the Third Elder’s expression, Yan Botao sat down, "Just speak up."
"It’s like this..." the Third Elder whispered a few words.
"Utterly outrageous!"
"Really lawless!" Yan Botao slamd the table in front of him with his palm, almost breaking it.
"Yan Dongsheng didn’t an any harm; he’s just young and impulsive..." the Third Elder scratched his head, because, strictly speaking, Yan Dongsheng was from his lineage.
However, Yan Dongsheng had just offended Li Changqing, a matter that the Third Elder dared not conceal.
After all, this was about the Yan family’s future.
"Young and impulsive?" Yan Botao sneered, "If not for that, Senior Li Changqing might have already crushed him. Who gave him the courage?"
"So, Clan Leader, about this matter..." The Third Elder couldn’t help but ask.
"Send him to Pei Province. Doesn’t our Yan family have a farm there? Let him work as a farmhand," Yan Botao said flatly. "Third Elder, this is considering your face; otherwise, you should know how to handle a family mber who jeopardizes the family."
"Thank you, Clan Leader, for sparing his life." The Third Elder bowed respectfully.
anwhile, Yan Hanzhou accompanied Li Changqing to the entrance of the Ten Thousand Books Tower.
"It’s not small," looking at the seven-story tower in front of him, Li Changqing couldn’t help but admire the aura of the Ten Thousand Books Tower.
"You just need to use your token to enter and find the books you want to read," Yan Hanzhou said respectfully.
Looking at the polite young man in front of him, Li Changqing liked him more and more.
"I just heard them teasing you, saying you’re about to go sowhere else?" Li Changqing asked at this mont, "I know your clan leader; would you like
to put in a good word for you?"
Hearing this, a flash of eaglet-like light appeared in Yan Hanzhou’s eyes, but it disappeared quickly.
"Thank you, Grand Offering, but there’s no need," Yan Hanzhou shook his head and said, "In the eyes of my clansn, I’m a hopeless case. Staying will only stir criticism; it’s better to start fresh elsewhere."
"Hopeless case?" Li Changqing frowned, "I’ve heard soone say this before."
"Even an underwear or a roll of toilet paper has its use; how could you not?" Li Changqing said earnestly to Yan Hanzhou.
Yan Hanzhou: "???"
"Cough, cough, that ca out wrong," Li Changqing realized the phrasing was off after speaking, although the aning was correct, it was unintentionally belittling.
"What I ant is that everyone has their own worth, and young people shouldn’t give up," Li Changqing laughed heartily.
"Everyone has their own worth?" Hearing this, Yan Hanzhou couldn’t help but ponder those words seriously...
"Senior, I’m not actually the wastrel they claim I am,"
Having t soone who so appreciated him, Yan Hanzhou felt a touch of emotion and continued, "In our Yan family, once one reaches the Fifth Heaven of the Transcendent Realm, you need to comprehend a cultivation technique within three years."
"If you fail to comprehend, you’ll have to leave the Yan family," Yan Hanzhou said with his head down, "I’ve comprehended a cultivation technique twice, but they weren’t what I wanted, so I chose to give them up and didn’t accept the heritage."
"And possibly because of these two refusals, I haven’t comprehended any cultivation techniques since. The three-year period is almost over, and I can only resign to my fate."
"You can cultivate the technique after reaching the Fifth Heaven of the Transcendent Realm?" Li Changqing blinked; this Yan Hanzhou was quite picky.
Virgo, perhaps?
"Sorry for wasting your ti, Senior. Please go in and read, and I’ll take my leave," Yan Hanzhou said, bowing respectfully to Li Changqing before turning to leave.
"Wait," Li Changqing called to Yan Hanzhou.
"Is there anything else, Senior?" Yan Hanzhou asked curiously.
"You’ve helped , and I don’t have much to repay you with, so here’s a little thing I often make," Li Changqing said, pulling out a small wooden carving from his sleeve and handing it to Yan Hanzhou.
Lately, Li Changqing hadn’t been doing serious wood carving. With money in hand and no worries about livelihood, he’d beco lazy. At most, he’d think about it when his son needed money next month.
But when people have free ti, they get bored, so Li Changqing started carving so little things he’d never carved before.
This was sothing peculiar and cute.
"This is..." Holding the wood carving Li Changqing handed over, Yan Hanzhou stood there, dumbfounded.
Li Changqing, anwhile, had already turned to enter Ten Thousand Books Tower.
Leaving a stunned Yan Hanzhou staring at the wooden carving in his hand.
What is this?
It looked like an animal.
But he hadn’t seen such an animal before.
Was it a mouse?
But sohow it didn’t look like one, with its chubby body, a tail like lightning, and two rosy cheeks.
What is this thing?
He naturally couldn’t recognize it.
Probably no one in the entire Cangyuan Realm would recognize this.
Because it was a Pikachu that Li Changqing carved out of boredom.
