Chapter 1533 - 786: Little Rascal
...
"You should know about this child’s temper, in some manner he encountered Qing Shui earlier and cursed him. The ultimate result is that Qing Shui directly wasted him." Situ Ba said viciously, clenching his fists tightly, trembling by the side of the God.
"The Qing Clan is obviously provoking us. They dare to do this without caring about our status in Baili City. Father Qing, I must weaken Qing Shui. If not, how can I walk with my head held high in the future?"
Upon hearing Situ Ba’s words, Situ Nantian didn’t respond immediately. In his heart, his feelings were the same as Situ Ba’s. How would he feel if his own grandson were in such a miserable state? If he was beaten, it wouldn’t cause any harm, but now, he definitely has no chance of becoming Father Qing. Such humiliation is indeed unbearable.
"The Qing Clan really doesn’t know what death is. Do they really think that with their lone Qing Luo Peak, they can get whatever they want in Baili City? Bar, take Shang’er to the Qing Clan. Anyway, I want to have a talk. Before taking action, we need to win the battle of logic. Since the Qing Family doesn’t care about saving face, we don’t have to worry too much about the consequences." Situ Nantian seemed deep in thought as he replied.
After hearing Situ Nantian’s response, Situ Ba nodded in agreement with the arrangement for his departure.
"Bring more people, call your third uncle along. Remember, we’ll only go once Shang’er’s injuries have stabilized." Situ Nantian added, taking a sip of tea. Unlike before, his expression was no longer as calm as it used to be.

Qing Shui continued to practice the cultivation method, adding to his expertise in crafting pills. Due to the exaggerated taste of black fish, Yuhe Inn’s business had become increasingly popular. It was said to be food from the Divine World, or so some rumors claimed.
The result was attracting more customers. Among them were some patrons, such as Uncle Lei from the Situ Clan. They could say the magical taste didn’t stem from a person’s cooking skills, but from the original flavor of the fish itself.
Despite the burgeoning business of Yuhe Inn, Yuhe felt increasingly depressed. This was because his brother and uncle now wanted to share in the Yuhe Inn.
Yuhe knew they were here purely for the black fish. They were envious of the benefits and wealth Yuhe had garnered, which is why they wanted company shares. After that, they could slowly find out who the supplier of the black fish was, and then use their vast wealth to buy out the supplier, leaving nothing for Yuhe Inn, thus increasing their own income.
All of this was very clear to Yuhe. After all, he knew the history of these guys. Therefore, he had no choice but to find reasons to refuse them, which caused a lot of misfortune. Fortunately, Yuhe’s grandfather liked him very much. Although he was no longer at the Innate Realm level, some of his power still lingered. Moreover, he was still their elder.
When Qing Shui walked into his room, Yuhe was pondering secretly. The door was open, and Qing Shui could see Yuhe’s eyebrows tightly knitted together, showing signs of worry. However, even amidst full concerns, it did not diminish his beauty in the slightest.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock!" Qing Shui knocked on the door, waking Yuhe from his earlier state of confusion. Realizing it was Qing Shui, he furrowed his brows and glared at him.
"What’s happening? You’re behaving like a little child. Are you dreaming of a secret Prince riding on a seven-colored cloud equipped with golden armor to marry you? Well, here I am now." Qing Shui laughed as he walked over.
"Brother, your black fish has brought me endless trouble." Yuhe said with a slight frown, which made Qing Shui gulp large mouthfuls. Somehow, Yuhe’s actions were very attractive to him.
"Trouble? What happened?" Qing Shui wasn’t too surprised. After all, good things are sure to incite others’ jealousy and envy.
"My family members are troublemakers. Usually, they don’t even care about me. Except for my grandfather, the rest of them don’t consider me part of the Yu Family at all. Now that they see my Yuhe Inn making money, everyone wants to invest in it. If it weren’t for my grandfather, Yuhe Inn would have been taken away long ago." Yuhe shouted angrily.
"Oh, is your grandfather okay?" Qing Shui didn’t want to comment on the actions of the Yu Clan members, so he found an excuse to change the topic.
"Still in the same state as before, he’s completely paralyzed. Considering he once reached the Innate Realm, now he has fallen into such a dire situation." Yuhe’s tears moistened his eyes.
Qing Shui knew he was very close to his grandfather, raised by him since childhood. When Yuhe returned to the marriage hall, his grandfather was still a person from Innate County. Who knew the groom’s fate, that he would have the opportunity to learn with Yuhe before passing away. At that time, his grandfather was still an Innate Realm person, and canceling the marriage was as easy as flipping his hand. However, after the unfortunate event, they announced that it would be bad to cancel the marriage, so his grandfather decided to retreat. However, as fate would have it, shortly after, a demonic beast incident occurred, and his grandfather unfortunately died. Since then, 18-year-old Yuhe has been a lonesome widow,
The groom’s family had simple standards for canceling the marriage. As long as someone at the Innate Realm level made the request, they were willing to do so. What they wanted was just for them to exit the stage. But it was due to this standard that they made such a beautiful person waste her 10 years of youth, destined to a life of loneliness.
