Live-in Son-in-law

Xiahou Jun and Mu Lingchen naturally didn't come just to enjoy a meal, but they were indeed amazed by Qin Wan'er's culinary skills.

"Miss Wan'er truly has both skill and heart; whoever marries you in the future must have fortune accumulated over eight lifetimes," Mu Lingchen couldn't help but praise.

Qin Yi casually glanced at Mu Lingchen, but it sent chills down Mu Lingchen's spine.

"My Wan'er is still young," Qin Yi added calmly.

Mu Lingchen stiffened, his smile more awkward than a grimace, "Brother Qin, you misunderstood my meaning."

Qin Yi remained noncommittal.

Whether or not it was a misunderstanding, he intended to nip it in the bud.

After the meal, Xiahou Jun originally wanted to stay longer, but Mu Lingchen dragged him away.

Goodness, he merely praised Qin Wan'er, and Qin Yi's gaze made him thoroughly uneasy.

But honestly, Qin Wan'er truly was beautiful and skillful. Marrying her would indeed be a tremendous blessing.

Of course, such thoughts could only remain in one's mind, otherwise, Qin Yi would chop him up to feed the dogs.

...

...

The next afternoon, Liu Zhanyuan called, saying the site at Tiger Roar Mountain was ready, inviting Qin Yi to take a look and see if there were any improvements needed.

Liu Zhanyuan's efficiency was indeed high; it had been less than three days to complete, undoubtedly working overtime.

Qin Yi drove to Tiger Roar Mountain.

Qin Yi was very familiar with this place; this was where he had tricked many challengers back then.

Now, rows of simple houses were situated around the area, numbering over a hundred. The originally constructed arena had been dismantled, leaving a large expanse of empty space.

This place was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only a small path leading in, incredibly secluded and quiet.

Qin Yi walked into a room to take a look; apart from electricity, all other living facilities were very complete.

"Mr. Qin, if there's anything else that needs improvement, just let us know, and I'll arrange it," Liu Zhanyuan and others followed behind Qin Yi, respectfully asking.

Qin Yi waved his hand, "It's already very good. It won't take too much time, at most about ten days."

Now that the site was ready, it was time to start tormenting Xiahou Jun and the others.

As Qin Yi was about to leave after touring the area, he suddenly remembered something. He once encountered a Blood Flood Dragon beneath this Tiger Roar Mountain, and it was hiding near a Blood Pool where there was a mid-grade Spirit Herb, Purple Sun Spiritual Bud.

Back then, the Purple Sun Spiritual Bud wasn't mature, so he set up an array to seal the exit. Now, a year had passed, and it was time to harvest.

"You all go back first, I have some other matters to attend to."

"Mr. Qin, do you need our assistance?"

Qin Yi shook his head, "No, you all head back first. You've worked hard, I'll treat you to a meal another day."

Liu Zhanyuan and his men beamed with joy and took their leave.

"Blood Flood Dragon, that Purple Sun Spiritual Bud should be mature by now, right?"

"Master's memory is indeed impeccable, I almost forgot. That Purple Sun Spiritual Bud matured long ago."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "Go, pick it up, I'll wait for you here."

"Yes."

The array at the entrance was set up during his Qi Refinement Realm, and with the Blood Flood Dragon's current strength, it could easily break through.

Qin Yi walked over to a green stone by the roadside to rest while waiting for the Blood Flood Dragon's return.

...

...

At this moment, on the Vermilion Bird Mountain thousands of miles away, the Vermilion Bird Guardian God held a secret letter, her fingertips trembling, her face full of disbelief.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Murong Qianxun asked in surprise, what could possibly make her master so agitated?

After a long while, the Vermilion Bird Guardian God calmed down and said incredulously, "Qin Yi is still alive."

"What?" Murong Qianxun first thought she had misheard, then confirmed she had misheard.

"I said, Qin Yi is still alive."

Murong Qianxun was stunned, this time she didn't mishear.

"Take a look yourself." The Vermilion Bird passed the secret letter over.

Murong Qianxun took it and read the information, feeling bewildered on the spot.

After a long while, she slowly spoke, "How, how is this possible? We watched Qin Yi fall into the Magma Lake and turn to ashes."

"But he is indeed alive, and he even went to the Wolf Country, stained Saber Forest Valley with blood, severed the legacies of various countries, and even slew three of the Sha Family Five Tigers, truly unimaginable," the Vermilion Bird said with a wry smile. Few things could move her, but this news was beyond shocking.

"Golden Mask?" Murong Qianxun focused on the four words in the secret letter, "Does that mean Qin Yi was the one who injured me and left with Yun Mengyao before?"

The Vermilion Bird nodded slightly.

"How did he survive?" Murong Qianxun marveled.

The Vermilion Bird breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "No matter how he survived, it's good enough that he did. This matter almost caused a rift between me and Old Man Azure Dragon. I've been unable to face him with composure until now."

"This rascal is too infuriating; he was alive but wouldn't reveal himself, leaving Master with many accusations," Murong Qianxun said angrily.

After the news of Qin Yi's fall spread, rumors had it that they, the master and disciple, had killed Qin Yi.

The Vermilion Bird didn't care, she chuckled, "If Qin Yi had truly perished in that Magma Lake, our master would indeed be responsible. Being cursed would be justifiable; you need not worry."

Murong Qianxun nodded, looking at the secret letter, "But this guy is impressive to have severed the legacies of various countries."

"Well done. This kid always manages to accomplish the unexpected, no wonder Old Man Azure Dragon values him so highly."

Murong Qianxun said indignantly, "Hmph, what's so impressive about that? Someday, I'll surpass him. Whatever he can do, I can do better."

The Vermilion Bird smiled without saying a word; her disciple was proud and ambitious, and it was normal to be upset after consistently losing to Qin Yi.

"Among the young ranks, except for you, everyone has now flocked under Qin Yi's command, gathering in Yinfeng City; don't you plan to go and see?" the Vermilion Bird said with a smile.

Murong Qianxun was taken aback, then asked incredulously, "Master, you wouldn't be suggesting I follow Qin Yi, would you? I definitely won't go."

"Is it a matter of pride? Xuan Zhan, Bai Siyin, haven't they all followed Qin Yi? Moreover, don't you want to clear up the misunderstanding between you two?"

Murong Qianxun protested, "Master, don't you think I compare favorably to Qin Yi? Why can't it be him following me?"

"As of now, you truly can't compare to Qin Yi," the Vermilion Bird pointed to the secret letter, "With his accomplishments, who among the young generation today could match them? Even the older generation of Qi Refiners would struggle. So, he is rightfully the number one of the younger generation."

"Hmph, he only achieved those through tricks," Murong Qianxun said defiantly.

The Vermilion Bird laughed, "Tricks also require intelligence. This precisely demonstrates Qin Yi's extraordinary wisdom."

"Master, who's your real disciple, anyway?" Murong Qianxun felt a bit aggrieved.

"Aren't we discussing who excels? Truthfully, Qin Yi is indeed more exceptional than you. Even Master admires what he's done, so don't be upset."
