After calming down completely, Sheng Mingwang asked He Jiahui to prepare a few dishes. He wanted to have a few drinks with Qin Yi to express his gratitude.
Qin Yi did not refuse.
"Mr. Sheng, after I leave with Xiaolei, there is sothing I need you to do."
Sheng Mingwang hurriedly said, "Daoist Qin Yi, just give the order, even if it’s to cross mountains of daggers or seas of flas, I, Sheng Mingwang, will not bat an eye."
Qin Yi pondered for a mont: "I want you to take back control of the Sheng Family and continue to serve as the Family Head."
"This..."
Sheng Mingwang hesitated a bit; he had already cut all ties with the Sheng Family. Besides, if he returned now, there is no way his elder brother’s family would tolerate them.
Qin Yi said, "I previously went to the Sheng Family to find Xiaolei and t Sheng Minghui and others. With their personalities, they are entirely unsuitable to hold great power. This is not a good thing for the people of Qingyuan City."
Sheng Mingwang was also aware of his elder brother’s character, but this matter was indeed difficult: "Daoist Qin Yi, this matter might be quite challenging. It’s not that I’m unwilling, but now the entire Sheng Family supports my elder brother as Family Head."
Qin Yi was silent for a long ti and sighed slightly: "It seems you’ve forced to do this."
Sheng Mingwang had not figured out what Qin Yi ant when suddenly there was a knock at the door.
He Jiahui, who was about to head into the kitchen, turned around to open the door.
Outside the door stood two n wearing vermilion robes, with an imposing aura, standing side by side.
"Who are you looking for?" He Jiahui asked in surprise; she didn’t know these two people.
One of them arrogantly asked, "Is Qin Yi inside?"
Qin Yi and others inside heard it clearly. But Qin Yi was puzzled; how did soone co looking for him here?
He Jiahui turned back, using her eyes to ask Qin Yi if they should let the two n in.
Qin Yi nodded slightly.
He Jiahui stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, and the two n outside stepped in.
Upon seeing their attire, Sheng Mingwang’s face changed drastically. He Jiahui didn’t recognize them, but how could he not recognize the identity represented by those clothes?
Vermilion Bird Envoy.
Qin Yi was also astonished; he too recognized the identity of these two n.
"Is there sothing the Vermilion Bird Guardian God wants you to convey to ?" Qin Yi asked, thinking that these two should have been sent by the Vermilion Bird Guardian God.
The two n exchanged a glance, a mocking expression on their faces.
One of them sneered: "Are you Qin Yi? Even if you are the successor of the Azure Dragon Guardian God, you are overestimating yourself. Why would the Vermilion Bird Guardian God send a ssage to you?"
Qin Yi frowned, "If that’s not the case, why are you looking for ?"
"Qin Yi, you’ve hard the Guardian. Co with us," one of them said coldly.
Qin Yi imdiately understood; they ca for the Sheng Family’s matter.
"Where are we going?"
"Naturally, to go back and accept an investigation."
Qin Yi sneered: "Not killing him was already showing rcy, what’s there to investigate."
One of them’s face grew cold: "Qin Yi, even though you are the successor of the Azure Dragon Guardian God, don’t forget this is the jurisdiction of the Vermilion Bird Guardian God."
"Two envoys, is there so misunderstanding here? I believe Daoist Qin Yi is not soone who would harm others indiscriminately." Sheng Mingwang hastily defended Qin Yi.
The two Vermilion Bird Envoys looked at Sheng Mingwang with strange eyes.
One of them said: "Is it possible you both conspired on this matter?"
Sheng Mingwang was completely baffled, not knowing what had happened?
Qin Yi said calmly: "Don’t falsely accuse him; at this mont Mr. Sheng is not yet aware."
Their expressions turned even stranger, as one of them said: "Sheng Mingwang, do you know who Qin Yi injured?"
Sheng Mingwang shook his head blankly.
"It’s your father, Sheng Shanqi. Qin Yi crippled his entire cultivation, and your elder brother Sheng Minghui was severely injured. You didn’t know?"
Sheng Mingwang was utterly shocked.
Qin Yi awkwardly rubbed his nose; he had intended to tell Sheng Mingwang over drinks.
The two Vermilion Bird Envoys watched Sheng Mingwang intently. Seeing his expression, it was clear he was truly unaware of the matter. From what they understood, Qin Yi was there to seek Sheng Tianlei; this matter should have nothing to do with Sheng Mingwang.
"Sorry!" Qin Yi apologized to Sheng Mingwang.
"Sheng Shanqi used my relatives to threaten . The fact I didn’t kill him was already rcy for Xiaolei’s sake. If Mr. Sheng blas for this, Qin has nothing to say."
Sheng Mingwang took a long while to recover, looking at Qin Yi with a complex expression.
No matter how much that person was at fault, he was still his father, after all.
"I think Qin Yi did nothing wrong; he already showed restraint," He Jiahui suddenly said. Previously, Sheng Minghui attempted to kill Xiaolei, and after Sheng Shanqi knew, he didn’t hold Sheng Minghui accountable, indicating he also wanted Xiaolei dead.
Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs. From that mont, He Jiahui harbored no goodwill towards the Sheng Family.
Sheng Mingwang was equally disheartened with the Sheng Family and his father’s actions, but he was still his father.
He didn’t know how to react now, whether to hate Qin Yi? He couldn’t. Qin Yi saved Xiaolei, and he acted out of protection for his relatives. He understood his father and elder brother Sheng Minghui’s personalities too well, and the fault surely did not lie with Qin Yi on this matter.
"Qin Yi, are you admitting to your violent actions then?" a Vermilion Bird Envoy sternly asked.
Qin Yi replied indifferently: "I’ve never denied it."
After speaking, Qin Yi looked at Sheng Mingwang: "Whether you hate or not! I now clearly tell you, go back and continue to take the position of Family Head, or I’ll have no choice but to replace Sheng Family’s status."
Sheng Mingwang looked at Qin Yi, not understanding.
"Qin Yi, don’t be arrogant! This is not a place where you get to call the shots," a Vermilion Bird Envoy retorted with a gloomy face.
Qin Yi sneered, raised his hand with a flash of light, and a token appeared in his hand.
Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the token in Qin Yi’s hand. When they saw the fire bird engraving on the token, their expressions imdiately changed.
Vermilion Bird Token.
Seeing the token is like seeing the person.
The two Vermilion Bird Envoys’ faces turned pale, and they knelt on one knee on the spot: "Subordinates pay respects to the Vermilion Bird Guardian God."
"Sheng Mingwang pays respects to the Vermilion Bird Guardian God."
Sheng Mingwang was also shocked, kneeling on one knee.
Sheng Tianlei was utterly confused about whether to kneel or not. Since his father knelt, he figured it wouldn’t be wrong to do so, and he also knelt on one knee.
Qin Yi looked at the two Vermilion Bird Envoys: "Now, do my words count?"
The bodies of the two Vermilion Bird Envoys trembled slightly; they never expected Qin Yi to bring out the Vermilion Bird Token. They naturally wouldn’t doubt the token’s authenticity. Because even with utmost boldness, Qin Yi wouldn’t dare to forge a Vermilion Bird Token.
"Subordinates were blind, we request punishnt."
The two people were trembling, their faces pale, truly terrified.
Qin Yi stayed silent, looking at the two with indifferent eyes. The two felt a chill down their spines, not daring to lift their heads, like criminals awaiting judgnt.
