My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 40: The Petty Person Prevails?

Yang Qi had intended to head straight home, but just as he changed his clothes and prepared to leave the auction house, he unexpectedly ran into the Li Family. Li Qiutong was even accompanied by her parents. They had probably come with Zhang Peng, but they hadn’t qualified to enter.

That auction room was reserved for billionaires with a net worth of over one billion. Although the Li Family had risen in status thanks to Yang Qi, their net worth was only a few hundred million, which was far below the minimum requirement. So, they couldn’t get in, not even with Zhang Peng.

"My dear daughter, when are you going to marry Young Master Zhang?" Jiang Meiyu said with a smile. "I’m so pleased with this son-in-law. He can even get into a high-class place like the Ye Family’s auction house. Yang Qi never brought us to a place like this."

"Soon, Mother!" Li Qiutong replied, somewhat distracted. She had recently hooked up with Qin Tian, and it was Zhang Peng who had willingly offered her to him. The Qin Family was far more powerful than the Zhang Family—worth at least ten of them.

Just then, they saw Yang Qi.

"Heh, I was wondering who it was. Turns out it’s the pretty boy, Yang Qi!" Li Qiutong sneered.

In her eyes, Lin Qingxuan was just keeping Yang Qi as a boy toy. It wasn’t because he had any real ability.

"Exactly! Don’t you get a big head just because you snagged Lin Qingxuan. When she gets tired of playing with you, she’ll dump you without a second thought!" Jiang Meiyu added viciously. "My Zhang Peng is the one with real ability. You just leech off a woman."

Li Qiutong then said, "By the way, what are you doing here? Is a person of your caliber even worthy of coming to such a high-class place?"

"Get lost!" Yang Qi couldn’t be bothered to waste words on the mother-daughter duo. They were nothing more than ants. With his current strength, he could kill them with ease, but he wouldn’t. That would be letting them off too easily. He wanted to drive them into complete and utter despair.

At that moment, Zhang Peng and Zhang Junwang emerged from inside.

"My dear in-law, my good son-in-law, you must have won the items you wanted, right?" Jiang Meiyu fawned, sidling up to them like a lapdog.

"Auction my ass!" Zhang Peng was seething with rage and had nowhere to vent it. Seeing Yang Qi only made him more furious. As Jiang Meiyu approached, he lashed out and slapped her squarely across the face.

"S-Son-in-law, what are you doing?" Jiang Meiyu was utterly mortified. She touched her stinging cheek, completely bewildered.

"Heh, they spent over two billion to buy things worth only one billion. You think they could possibly be happy?" Yang Qi laughed. "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. I gave the Zhang Family one month to repent. You, however, don’t have that much time. I’ll give you three days to get out of my villa. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being discourteous!"

Though he was smiling, his expression was laced with a palpable Killing Aura.

"Yang Qi, what are you talking about?" Just then, Lin Qingxuan walked out and naturally took his arm, smiling as she asked.

"I’m taking back what’s rightfully mine!" Yang Qi stated.

"Need my help?" Lin Qingxuan smiled.

"Thank you, but there’s no need. I want to take it back myself!"

He had already reclaimed his company. The villa was next.

"Let’s go!" Yang Qi shot Li Qiutong and the others a cold glance, then turned and got into the car with Lin Qingxuan.

"Pah! What’s so great about him!" Jiang Meiyu spat and cursed. "Once Lin Qingxuan is tired of you, you’ll still be a good-for-nothing!"

"Exactly. A petty man enjoying his moment of glory!" Li Cheng added.

Physical blindness isn’t scary; being blind in your heart is what’s truly hopeless.

"He just took back his company. You’d all better be careful," Zhang Peng warned Jiang Meiyu.

"What!" Jiang Meiyu froze. "No way! How could that loser possibly do that!"

"With Lin Qingxuan’s help, everyone has to give him face," Zhang Peng said coldly. "You all had better stop provoking him for a while. Don’t cause trouble for our Zhang Family!"

With that, Zhang Peng and Zhang Junwang also left, leaving Li Qiutong’s family of three standing there in awkward silence.

「Back at the villa.」

Yang Qi immediately secluded himself in the separate courtyard to begin his Alchemy. The Qi Gathering Pill was extremely important to him. The materials he had purchased this time for two hundred million were enough to refine the elixirs needed for him to break through to the Third Layer of the Qi Refining Stage. He had to achieve this breakthrough as soon as possible. Strength was everything.

Lin Qingxuan would have to return to Jingzhou sooner or later. Since he was determined to pursue her, he absolutely had to become stronger. Besides, the Zhang Family was surely recruiting forces. Without strength, he would eventually end up right back where he started.

Just then, a car pulled up outside the manor. It was a car with a special license plate, not from Kang City, but from the Provincial City. The security guard hurriedly informed Lin Qingxuan, who personally went out to greet the visitor.

"Uncle Lei, why are you here?" Lin Qingxuan was very surprised. The person standing before her was none other than Lei Qingtian, the Jingnan Prefecture Master. He used to visit her family often, so she was quite familiar with him.

"Miss Lin! Isn’t this Yang Qi’s home?" Lei Qingtian was also confused. He had received information from Ye Lingyue that a man named Yang Qi here could cure his chronic illness, but he hadn’t expected to run into Lin Qingxuan.

"No, but it might as well be. He’s renting my separate courtyard," Lin Qingxuan said with a smile. "Uncle Lei, please come in. Since you’re here, have some tea first."

Lei Qingtian entered the manor and saw a separate courtyard within, its gate shut tight.

"What is Yang Qi like? Do you know him well, Miss Lin? How are his Medical Skills?" Lei Qingtian asked curiously. Although Ye Lingyue had made the introduction, she hadn’t seemed particularly confident.

Lin Qingxuan thought for a moment and said, "Yang Qi is a prodigy in the field of medicine. As for his Medical Skills... well, he cured my Cold Poison. What do you think?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Oh?" Lei Qingtian, who initially had low expectations, felt a sense of relief upon hearing her words.

"Miss, I’m afraid you’ve been deceived by that man," Zhong Qiang couldn’t help but interject. "Your recovery is due to the long-term effects of taking Cold Dispelling Pills. He didn’t cure you; he just got lucky. Prefecture Master Lei, your health is a matter of utmost importance. Don’t let some uneducated charlatan ruin it."

Lin Qingxuan frowned. She did not like Zhong Qiang’s words at all. However, he had a point; she didn’t actually know how good Yang Qi’s Medical Skills were.

She suspected that her Cold Poison had been dispelled because of Yang Qi’s special constitution, which seemed to complement her own. It wasn’t necessarily because his Medical Skills were that incredible. To boast rashly might just bring trouble upon Yang Qi.

"Why don’t we just ask Yang Qi himself?" Assistant Qin suggested from the side. "We’ll know if he can treat it or not after hearing what he has to say."

"That’s a good idea. Zhong Qiang, go and invite Yang Qi. Be polite!" Lin Qingxuan instructed. She had to stay and entertain Lei Qingtian, so she couldn’t go herself.

"Understood, Miss!" Zhong Qiang nodded and left the living room.

Soon, he arrived at the separate courtyard. Staring at the tightly closed gate, he simply kicked it open.

CRASH!

The tremendous noise nearly caused Yang Qi, who was deep in his Cultivation, to suffer a deviation. A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
