The Rebirth Waste Strikes Back Chapter 21

"Young Master, you've returned?" Qi Heng looked at the travel-worn Qi Shaorong.

Qi Shaorong went straight to his bedchamber, throwing himself on the bed as he rubbed himself on the sheets and groaned, "I'm exhausted."

"Young Master, did you 'kcha'?" inquired Qi Heng.

Qi Shaorong shook his head, "No, Zhuang Hao rushed in front of me. I couldn't find any chance to take action."

"Young Master, since you went with Zhuang Hao outside for so long, did you manage to find Zhuang Hao's weakness?" asked Qi Heng.

"What's there to find? The brat is proficient in both magic and martial arts, has an abnormally strong spiritual force far above a normal person, and is a rarely seen Beastmaster… Do you know? Being a Beastmaster is also very profitable…" Qi Shaorong continued to rant.    

Qi Heng nodded, "I know, the Beastmasters right? They only need to suppress the Demon Beasts a few times with their spiritual force, and can reap in a whole lot of money afterward."

After people from big families captured a Demon Beast, they have no way of subduing them and would have to ask for a Beastmaster's help. The probability of a Beastmaster's appearance was extremely low. The few Beastmaster in the Imperial Capital were all arrogant and conceited, making them difficult to hire. An exceptional Beastmaster could move a dozen or so Demon Beasts whose strength was about the same as theirs, which was equivalent to ten times their strength.

Qi Shaorong narrowed his eyes, "This brat sure has a good life ah! Don't know exactly which immortal he bribed in his last life that let him have such a good luck in this life."

Qi Heng nodded in agreement, "Rest a.s.sured Young Master. You still earn much more than he does."

Qi Shaorong ran his hand through his hair, and exclaimed, "Exactly ah! I earn more than him, but the brat's potential is higher than mine!"

"Young Master, will you be working tomorrow? Many people came to ask me when you will be taking appointments again after you left. There were many Madames, and even the Imperial Concubine that came to ask."

Qi Shaorong shook his head and said, "I can't tomorrow. I promised Zhuang Hao to go see Zhuang Linyuan with him."

"Is it because of Zhuang Ling? I heard the Zhuang Linyuan loves this daughter dearly. For Zhuang Ling, he nearly exhausted his family's wealth. In recent years, there had been many doctors who went to see Zhuang Ling. They have invited seven or eight famous Masters at the very least. The Light Mages' Holy Light Healing have also been used and showed some results, but shortly after she would become weak again," said Qi Heng.

"I've also heard about Zhuang Ling's situation. However, I need to check it out for myself to know where exactly the problem lies," Qi Shaorong said lazily.   

"If it's you, Young Master, maybe you can really find out what the problem is," remarked Qi Heng.

Qi Shaorong, however, frowned. His face showed a troubled expression, "Let's talk about that after we go and see by ourselves. Actually, I have a guess, but let's hope my guess is wrong."

Qi Shaorong looked puzzledly at Qi SHaorong and asked, "Young Master, what do you think it is?"

Qi Shaorong shook his head, "Let's not talk about this, I hope it's just me overthinking things.”

Qi Heng saw that Qi Shaorong didn't want to talk about it, and didn't continue to pester him about this issue anymore. "By the way, Young Master, did you encounter Yi Chuxue on your trip? I heard that you came back together."

Qi Shaorong nodded, "We accidentally met Yi Chuxue and her two brothers on the way back. Oh, that’s right, I heard that Mu Xuelan and Yi Fan are about to be divorced."  

"Yes ah! They're already divorced," said Qi Heng.

"Oh, our Ah Fan becomes a golden bachelor again. All those unmarried women are blessed with another handsome man. This world has gained another single, high quality man!" declared Qi Shaorong.

Qi Heng, "…"

"Mu Xuelan, this little girl sure have high standards. Our Ah Fan is so rich yet she still doesn't put him in her eyes!" Qi Shaorong sighed as he shook his head.

"Ah Fan certainly is rich, but Mu Xuelan doesn't know that ah!"

Qi Shaorong sighed, "That is true. There are very few people in this world who have good eyes ah!"

Qi Heng tugged at his sleeves and shrugged, "Actually, Mu Xuelan and Yi Han are divorced, but she still haven't moved out yet."

"Why?" Qi Shaorong asked.

Qi Heng shrugged again and replied, "It's probably because she doesn't have anywhere to go. That year, Mu Xuelan threatened that she would marry Yi Han in her anger and offended many people, including those from the Mu Family. Mu Xuelan's family background is only so-so, her family originally hoped that she would marry someone big and bring honor to the family. But in the end, she married Ah Fan. And you know that Ah Fan's house is pretty good." Yi Fan's house was left behind by his mother. Before she got married, Yi Fan's birth mother was a Miss from the Fu Family.

QI Shaorong's lips twitched, "Oh, I see. Ah Fan is truly a gentle person. They're already divorced, but he still hasn't driven Mu Xuelan out."

"Husband and wife for one night, grace for a hundred days. Although they were married, they didn't even have a real couple's night. But, who knows?" Qi Heng commented.  

Qi Shaorong, "…"

Husband and wife for one night, grace for a hundred days – [一夜夫妻百日恩嘛 – Yīyè fūqī bǎi rì ēn ma]
