Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 1442: Probing

Next day, early morning.

The three of them, Qin Yi, enjoyed a hearty breakfast.

After waiting for a while, Qiu Yuhai arrived.

Xiao Jian and Jing Wuyan came to see them off.

They left Netherworld City, heading directly southeast.

Qin Yi chuckled wryly.

Qiu Yuhai asked, "Why the wry smile on your face, Qin Yi, my young friend?"

"What nonsense, I just came to Netherworld Hall thinking I could relax and have fun for a couple of days. My seat is barely warm and I have to rush off to work."

"Ah, I truly have a weary fate."

Qiu Yuhai looked embarrassed.

"Don’t worry, Qin Yi, my young friend. Once the matter is settled, I will do my utmost to satisfy you."

"Whatever kind of woman you want, I can find her for you. Just tell me how many you want?"

Qin Yi: "..."

Yun Mengyao’s charming face darkened, "You men, can’t you think about something else? Honestly, it’s disgusting, showing such disrespect for your age."

Qiu Yuhai wished he could scratch his head in embarrassment, forgetting Yun Mengyao was by Qin Yi’s side, as stunning as a celestial being.

Unexpectedly, even at this age, he still made such rookie mistakes. How could he say such things openly?

Yin Qianqian grinned mischievously, "Food and sex are part of nature. You, being a virgin, naturally wouldn’t understand the wonders of it."

Qiu Yuhai and Qin Yi were stunned.

Yun Mengyao’s face turned crimson, responding irritably, "Seems you are quite experienced, huh."

"At my age, who hasn’t once been young and naive?"

"It’s just a pity that at that time, I didn’t have a handsome guy like Qin Yi by my side. If I had, I would have devoured him completely."

"Little brat, if I were you, I would have taken Qin Yi down already. A top-notch hunk like him shouldn’t be given away to other women for free. Worst case, just drug him."

Yun Mengyao was completely dumbfounded.

Qin Yi was drenched in cold sweat; this woman really dared to say anything.

Qiu Yuhai was full of envy, only regretting that he was too unattractive.

Qin Yi smirked, not letting Yin Qianqian, the rogue woman, continue speaking.

He changed the subject, asking Qiu Yuhai, "Great Elder, how far is Divine Enlightenment Mountain from here?"

"At our current pace, it will take at least ten days."

"Ten days..."

Qin Yi was perturbed.

Damn, this Primordial is too vast.

Qin Yi looked at the Great Elder and said, "I’ve got a question for you. Have you ever thought that it would be better if the Netherworld Hall Master never comes out?"

The Great Elder was taken aback, looking completely puzzled.

"What do you mean? Why would I think that?"

Qin Yi chuckled, "Your position in Netherworld Hall is one literally below one but above tens of thousands, besides Jing Wangyou, your status is the highest."

"If Jing Wangyou and others don’t come out and take care of Wuyan, Netherworld Hall could be yours."

"Wouldn’t you be tempted by the position of ruler over the entire Northern Central State?"

Qiu Yuhai glanced at Qin Yi and said with a smile, "Tempted indeed, but this position is not that of an ordinary Sect leader."

"Taking the position of Netherworld Hall Master is equivalent to owning the entire Northern Central State."

"How about we team up, after the matter is done, we share the position of Netherworld Hall Master?"

Qin Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a stern glint, very intimidating.

The Great Elder also gazed at Qin Yi, with traces of murderous intent appearing in his eyes.

Yin Qianqian and Yun Mengyao subconsciously fell back a bit, distancing themselves from these two.

Suddenly, Qin Yi burst out laughing.

The Great Elder also laughed heartily.

"Qin Yi, my young friend, no need to test me. If I truly harbored intentions to seize the Hall Master position, I wouldn’t have let the Seventh Elder pretend to be the Hall Master to stabilize the situation."

"The position of Netherworld Hall Master is indeed tempting; maybe tempting enough to sit on. But maintaining that seat is not easy."

"I admit my cultivation isn’t bad, and my abilities are decent too. But to take on that position, I lack the capability. Some are born leaders, some are born to command."

"So, I can only be a commander, not a master. The position of Hall Master is hanging in the air; one mistake could lead to falling into ruin. What do you say?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

"What the Great Elder says is true, people shouldn’t do things beyond their capability."

"Unfortunately, some people never see themselves clearly and don’t understand the wisdom of knowing their limits."

"By the way, does the Great Elder think of me as a commander or a natural leader?"

The Great Elder looked at Qin Yi, smiled, and shook his head.

"Qin Yi, my young friend, you are neither of the two."

Qin Yi was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "Alright, I admit I am just an ordinary person."

"No, although I haven’t interacted much with you, I’ve lived long enough to have some insight."

"Qin Yi, my young friend, belongs to the third category: Destroyer."

Qin Yi’s mouth twitched, speechless.

"Great Elder, why does this not sound like a compliment to me?"

The Great Elder laughed and said, "Don’t rush, I haven’t finished speaking. Actually, being a Destroyer is not a derogatory term. You know the phrase ’break to create anew’, don’t you? You are a Destroyer and a pioneer."

"Your character is carefree, unwilling to be confined by rules. Thus, you challenge all impossibilities, break those rules, and establish your own."

"Honestly, I have a premonition that one day, the entire Primordial world will know your name and live by your rules."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Great Elder, you’re an elder, senior to me. No need to flatter me to save the Netherworld Hall Master, right?"

"Besides, your flattery skills are really mediocre, too blunt."

The Great Elder’s mouth twitched, three black lines appeared on his forehead.

"I’m speaking the truth. If you don’t believe me, let’s make a bet, a century-long one. By then, you’ll know whether what I said today was true."

"A century?" Qin Yi looked at him, "Let me ask weakly, can you live a hundred years more?"

The muscles in the Great Elder’s eye twitched, suddenly losing interest in chatting with Qin Yi, his expression was rather disdainful.

"We’ve been flying for so long, can we stop to rest before continuing on?"

Yun Mengyao was feeling a bit tired.

Yin Qianqian sneered, "I told you you’re a burden. We’ve just been flying for how long and you’re already tired. Maybe you should go back. I’ll take care of Qin Yi, better than you could."

Yun Mengyao fumed silently, "Who needs your care? I’m not tired at all."

Yin Qianqian glanced at Qin Yi, "I don’t understand why you men always like these clueless little girls. They can’t even take care of anyone."

"Qin Yi, how about I serve you tonight? You lie still, leave the rest to me."

Qin Yi staggered, almost toppling from mid-air.

No wonder the Nine-tailed Silver Fox clan, their words and deeds are indeed bold.

Yun Mengyao grumbled with a charming yet darkened face, muttering about seductive foxes, shameless.

Qiu Yuhai cast another envious glance at Qin Yi; being handsome is truly advantageous, always attracting companies without effort.
