Chapter 49.1
“The young master said that this soul-nurturing tree is a good thing. Staying in it longer will be good for your soul,” Cheng Qi glanced at Tan Eyu helplessly. If it weren’t for the inconvenience of carrying Tan Eyu around, the young master wouldn’t let her use it willingly.
“Okay, okay, let me take a breath and go in. I don’t want to disturb the world of you and your young master here,” Tan Eyu looked at Cheng Qi resentfully and spoke.
“Shh!” Cheng Qi was frightened when he heard this and quickly signaled for silence. He glanced nervously at Li Tianyan, who was closing his eyes to rest, unsure if he was in meditation or not. His whole heart was in a state of confusion.
Ever since he did something out of blue to Li Tianyan that day, Cheng Qi has been timid. They rarely met except for meals. Now they were nervous staying together in a small carriage, and Tan Eyu was talking so openly. If Li Tianyan wanted to settle the bill with, he wouldn’t have let her out.
Looking at Cheng Qi’s timid look, Tan Eyu rolled her eyes to the sky, thinking that this brat had finally realized something, but it turned out he only had a lustful heart and not the courage to act on it.

The convoy rushed on without stopping. The semi-spiritual beast pulling the cart had a different speed from ordinary horses. It only took one day to arrive at Yuncheng. Cheng Qi exclaimed when he saw the towering city wall in the distance. Unexpectedly, both were towns, but there was a big difference between Yuncheng and Jincheng.
“Young master, look, that wall is so high, and there are people standing on it,” Cheng Qi pointed to the people on the city wall and said to Li Tianyan in surprise.
Li Tianyan glanced in the direction he pointed and explained, “Those are the soldiers protecting the city.”

The scene just now was just an interlude. Order was quickly restored at the city gate, and everyone continued to line up waiting to enter the city.
Perhaps because there had been many people coming to Yuncheng recently, even the entrance fee had increased a lot. The two of them, plus a half-spiritual beast, paid four taels of silver before being let in. Li Tianyan couldn’t help but curse the city lord for proposing to hold this event. The family competition was probably just to attract attention and take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
Li Tianyan found his small courtyard where Guan Haoran pointed. Although the place was small, it was surrounded by inhabited courtyards. It was incomparable with the quiet environment of their villa, but it was better than staying in an inn. With so many people coming from outside Yuncheng recently, it was hard to find a yard like this even if they had money.
On the road today, they ate what they could. Upon arriving at the place where they were staying, Cheng Qi settled down and went into the kitchen, preparing to cook a few sumptuous dishes for Li Tianyan. All the prepared ingredients were stored in the storage bag. He took them out of the bag and set up a hot pot for cooking.
Li Tianyan saw that Cheng Qi actually used his own magical power as firewood. He felt a mix of anger and amusement but couldn’t help but sense a warmth he had never felt before. At this moment, he seemed to understand why Cheng Qi was so persistent in wanting to learn to cook. He initially thought he was taking care of the little shuanger, but now he discovered that the other person had been taking care of him in his own way.
Thinking about this, Li Tianyan got up and walked into the kitchen, asking, “Do you need help?”
“Well... then the young master will help me chop the vegetables,” Cheng Qi wanted to refuse, but when he rolled his eyes, his words changed.
“Okay.” After hearing this, Li Tianyan walked to the chopping board and picked up a kitchen knife to help process the ingredients.
Although the two people cooking together in the kitchen did not communicate much, there was a faint warmth surrounding them. This was the first time Li Tianyan felt it was good to have someone by his side.
