"You two, get up."
Qin Yi was not unreasonable; these two were simply doing their duty.
The two looked up at Qin Yi, with disbelief on their faces, surprised that Qin Yi actually asked them to rise.
"What? Do you want to help you up?" Qin Yi said calmly.
The two quickly stood up.
Qin Yi said coldly, "Considering it’s your duty, I won’t hold it against you. But from now on, keep a close watch on the Sheng Family’s people; they are not allowed to step out of Qingyuan City. If anyone dares to leave without permission, they shall be killed without rcy."
Sheng Mingwang’s face changed drastically.
After a brief mont of astonishnt, the two Vermilion Bird Envoys hurried to comply. With the Vermilion Bird Token in hand, Qin Yi now represented the Vermilion Bird Guardian God.
"What are your two nas?" Qin Yi asked.
"Zhu Xiu."
"Zhu Feizhou."
Qin Yi nodded slightly, "I will rember you both. If any mber of the Sheng Family leaves Qingyuan City, you’ll be the ones I hold accountable."
"Yes!"
The two promptly responded with respect.
Qin Yi waved, "You may leave."
The two bowed to Qin Yi, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, then took two steps back before daring to turn and leave.
Qin Yi looked at Sheng Mingwang, "Mr. Sheng, if you don’t plan to take over the Sheng Family and continue as Family Head, I’ll have to find soone else to replace you."
Sheng Mingwang was silent for a mont, then bowed with his fists cupped, "Sheng Mingwang obeys."
Qin Yi represented the Vermilion Bird Guardian God, making replacing soone from the Sheng Family an easy task. He couldn’t just stand by and watch the Sheng Family fall apart.
Qin Yi nodded slightly, smiling, "Mr. Sheng should also understand, I’m not trying to make things difficult for you. It’s just that with soone like Sheng Minghui in charge, the Sheng Family will either decline or be destroyed."
Sheng Mingwang nodded, "I understand!"
"Understanding is good!" Qin Yi didn’t explain further. Sheng Mingwang was once the head of the Sheng Family and understood the stakes involved.
"Today is truly a joyous and celebratory day. You all sit tight while I make a few more dishes for a good celebration!" He Jiahui said, beaming with joy.
The poison in her son was temporarily neutralized, and her husband was returning to the Sheng Family to reclaim the position of Family Head. It was a monuntal joy for her.
However, Sheng Mingwang’s mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself about how ignorant the wonfolk could be.
"Want my help?" Qin Yi suddenly asked.
Sheng Mingwang was slightly taken aback, then understood, "No need, I’ll handle it."
He understood that Qin Yi was asking if he would face difficulties when assuming the role of Family Head again. There would certainly be resistance, but he couldn’t let Qin Yi step in. Given Qin Yi’s domineering nature, the so-called help would involve overwhelming force, and the Sheng Family might not avoid a bloody encounter.
...
...
He Jiahui worked swiftly, quickly preparing a table full of dishes.
Sheng Mingwang opened a bottle of wine. The wine was ordinary, but drinking was more about who you drank with. As they say, drinking is less about the wine and more about the company.
After interacting, Sheng Mingwang’s impression of Qin Yi dramatically changed. The rumors about Qin Yi seed to be utter nonsense. Qin Yi was a man of great ambition.
Qin Yi also looked at Sheng Mingwang in a new light. After all, having been the head of the Sheng Family, his knowledge and manner of speaking were quite impressive.
"Daoist Qin Yi, when do you plan to leave?" He Jiahui interjected.
Qin Yi understood her aning; Sheng Tianlei hadn’t been apart from them all this ti. In essence, she was reluctant to see him go. As the saying goes, a mother worries when her child travels far.
"I can let Xiao Lei stay with you for another month. At that ti, the poison in him might relapse, and I’ll take him away then."
Sheng Mingwang and He Jiahui bead with happiness.
"Thank you, Daoist Qin Yi!" Sheng Mingwang raised his glass, gratitude evident on his face.
Qin Yi smiled and clinked glasses with him. Perhaps in Sheng Mingwang and He Jiahui’s hearts, the position of the Sheng Family Head wasn’t that important. What they might really want was for their son to live a normal life.
Pity the hearts of parents worldwide.
As they drank through three rounds.
Qin Yi stood up to bid farewell!
The family of three escorted Qin Yi and Liu Yiren to the door.
"Xiao Lei, spend this month well with your father and mother. I’ll co to pick you up in a month."
Sheng Tianlei nodded gently.
"Goodbye, Brother Qin Yi and Sister!"
Qin Yi and Liu Yiren waved and turned to leave with smiles.
On the way back, Liu Yiren had a constant smile on her face.
"What’s got you so happy?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
Liu Yiren smiled, "I’ve always been the youngest, but now Xiao Lei calls sister, so I’m not the youngest anymore."
Qin Yi chuckled, realizing her happiness ca from that.
"Xiao Lei is seven years older than you."
"So what? His mind is at most like that of a teenager."
Qin Yi smiled, knowing Sheng Tianlei would eventually grow up.
"Qin Yi, what level is Xiao Lei’s cultivation?"
"Early Golden Core!"
"What?" Liu Yiren was visibly shocked, "That strong?"
Qin Yi nodded slightly, "I had underestimated these young strong cultivators before. Xiao Lei really surprised . I’m increasingly looking forward to eting those more highly ranked prodigies."
"So, where are we heading next?"
Qin Yi smirked slightly and chuckled, "Stone City, Cong Family."
"Cong Yang, ranked sixtieth among the young strong cultivators?"
Qin Yi nodded slightly.
Liu Yiren tilted her head and said seriously, "The records say Cong Yang was born with divine power, great strength. At five, he could shatter gold and stone."
Qin Yi chuckled and said, "There are always so prodigies who defy reason."
"Are you talking about yourself?" Liu Yiren teased.
Qin Yi shrugged, "I’m a prodigy among prodigies. In front of , if they’re dragons, they coil; if they’re tigers, they lie low."
Liu Yiren pursed her lips, "I think you’re not a prodigy among prodigies, but a top, spinning around the world."
Qin Yi lazily stretched and sighed, "So things always have to be done by soone."
In fact, Qin Yi’s inner thought was, damn it, who let this young master be the one to open the Primordial Passage, attracting those demons, becoming the culprit bringing catastrophe to Earth?
If he weren’t the reason for the disaster, he couldn’t care less about these matters. Staying by Xia Yanbing’s side, enjoying fancy cars and beauties, how delightful would that be? Who wants to be as exhausted as a dumb cal?
"So, I’ll book the flight tickets."
Qin Yi nodded, "First class."
"You’re paying?"
"Ouch, my stomach hurts, I must have eaten sothing bad just now."
Liu Yiren looked at him with disdain, "Hey brother, you’re covering your stomach, not intestines. For soone so rich, why are you so miserly? Spending so money is like having your kidney removed."
Qin Yi sighed, "I have to raise two kids, the pressure is imnse. How can a young lady like you, who doesn’t lift a finger, understand my hardship?"
"The Xia Group is worth billions, how can raising kids cost that much?"
"That’s my wife’s dowry, untouchable. Now I have to work hard to earn the baby formula money. Stop talking, hurry and book the tickets, first class."
Liu Yiren pursed her lips in disdain, took out her phone, and booked two tickets to Stone City.
