He has no special Skills, nor has he had any great fortuitous encounters. He’s even been scammed a few times buying Secret Realm Treasure Chests. The man is dirt poor; there’s no way he could afford so many Middle Grade Talismans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Qingqing gave a slight nod, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「A moment later.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rewarded Zheng Ming with several bottles of Elixir Pills and a Low Grade Magical Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you’re not content with a life of mediocrity, which is why you venture out seeking opportunities.

His only option was to make inquiries everywhere, intending to buy a new Shadow-Chasing Puppet to replace it, no matter the cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, no Shadow-Chasing Puppets were for sale in either the regular Marketplace or the Black Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left with no choice, he had to ask someone to make inquiries in Yellow Crane Immortal City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before any news came back from the Immortal City, Zheng Lingfeng had shown up, demanding the Shadow-Chasing Puppet back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, unable to hide it any longer, he was forced to confess the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a useless oaf!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Lingfeng was furious when he learned the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he had dragged Zheng Jinbao directly to Li Chang’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Chang’an, I hear you’ve had some conflict with Zheng Jinbao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Conflict?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chang’an looked surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused to think for a moment, then said as if just remembering, \"That was all years ago. It wasn’t a major conflict, and Steward Zheng and I reconciled long ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Lingfeng shot a cold glance at Zheng Jinbao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Jinbao kept his head down, his heart pounding with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chang’an continued, \"Yes. In fact, Steward Zheng has taken great care of me over the years, treating me like one of his own. I’d long forgotten any past unpleasantness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zheng Lingfeng frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t beat around the bush, saying coldly, \"If that’s the case, then return my Shadow-Chasing Puppet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What Puppet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chang’an asked, his face a mask of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already had his story prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before he could continue, a pleasant voice sounded from the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Shadow-Chasing Puppet is one of the Protective Treasures the Patriarch gifted to him. The Puppet can track enemies by their Qi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Qingqing appeared at the doorway, a smile gracing her features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chang’an immediately clasped his hands in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, My Lady!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Qingqing nodded slightly, then walked into the courtyard and glanced at Zheng Lingfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze was gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t seem particularly intimidating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zheng Lingfeng’s imposing aura immediately diminished, and his voice became much quieter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Qingqing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lingfeng, Daoist Li is a friend of mine. You are not to make things difficult for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Lingfeng gritted his teeth, wanting to say more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But faced with Zheng Qingqing’s gaze, he couldn’t get the words out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he could only back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how unwilling he felt, he had no choice but to leave with Zheng Jinbao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they left, Li Chang’an clasped his hands toward Zheng Qingqing in thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, My Lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was a small matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Qingqing chuckled softly.
