Chapter 556: Chapter 556: The Bravest of the Brave

Qin Yi looked at Xuan Zhan and White Tiger with a playful gaze: "What Xuan Zhan and Bai Siyin said, is it true? Listening to how you educate your disciples, you must have been courageous in the past."

Xuanwu’s old face flushed, knowing that Qin Yi was ironically implying they were afraid to die.

White Tiger angrily said, "Kid, what are you talking about? Speaking of courage, back when we fought the big battle at Luoshen Mountain decades ago, you were just a little tadpole in your father’s belly."

"I admit what you said is true. But why the cowardice now? Is it because after you canonized as Gods, you’ve also learned to cherish your feathers, afraid of losing? So, can I ask, are you eagles or feather dusters?"

"Bullshit, you brat, stop the backhanded remarks here. Say whatever, we’re just thinking about your safety, you bratty Lu Dongbin, biting the hand that feeds." Azure Dragon couldn’t help cursing.

Qin Yi curled his lips: "I thank you guys. However, I still say the same thing, whoever dares to block my way, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

"Alright, you’re really asking for a beating. Do whatever you want, even if we’re old feather dusters, we can still wield them to beat someone up." Azure Dragon rolled his eyes and said.

Qin Yi laughed, walked over casually, and patted Azure Dragon’s shoulder: "That’s more like it. I respect you as a man."

Azure Dragon’s mouth twitched and he swatted Qin Yi’s hand away with annoyance.

"Kid, but I still have to remind you, using violence to control violence is only a mid-level strategy. But seeking harmony in preciousness is not a bad top-level tactic."

Qin Yi chuckled sinisterly, sending shivers down one’s spine.

"What are you plotting again, kid? Smiling so cunningly." Xuanwu asked with a vigilant look.

Qin Yi spoke: "Actually, what I want to say is, you’re too late to stop me."

"What do you mean? Have you already acted against Mo Buwen and others?" Azure Dragon asked.

A trace of trickery flashed in Qin Yi’s eyes: "No, I just made some preparations in advance. It depends on their choices next. If they really provoke me, sorry, I won’t be merciful."

Azure Dragon advised again: "Qin Yi, try to seek harmony first. Wait until you’ve grown completely, then deal with them, it’s not too late. You must learn to endure."

"Got it."

Azure Dragon sighed helplessly, knowing from Qin Yi’s expression that he treated his words like wind passing by.

Xuanwu looked at his disciple: "Are you really planning to follow this kid?"

Xuan Zhan nodded seriously.

Bai Siyin took the initiative to tell White Tiger: "Master, I once followed Qin Yi to Southern Country and destroyed the Zhi Family, that’s the courage a Qi Refiner should have."

"Understood, since you’ve decided, I respect your choice." White Tiger said solemnly.

Qin Yi looked at the two: "You two bear in mind, following me comes with life risks at any moment, a single mistake might end your life. Are you sure you want to follow me?"

"I only wish for a meaningful death." Xuanwu spoke concisely.

Bai Siyin smiled: "I am the successor of Master, already carrying the mission to protect the living. I think following you will make my life more exciting, right?"

Qin Yi smiled: "Since you’ve chosen to follow me, then there are some things I must clarify first. My orders must be executed immediately, without hesitation, even if it requires you to die. If you rely on your status as a Guardian successor and disobey orders, then I can only apologize, no matter who it is, I won’t show any mercy."

Xuan Zhan and Bai Siyin exchanged a glance and nodded firmly.

"Alright, follow me. I happen to have something that needs you two to do."

"Just tell us what to do." Xuan Zhan said.

Qin Yi’s lips slightly curved up: "If Mo Buwen and others come to recruit you, you may agree to follow them."

Xuan Zhan looked at Qin Yi puzzled.

Bai Siyin said: "You want us to go undercover?"

"Sort of. I just want to find out what these guys intend to do. They’re in such a rush to recruit young talents from the ranking list, I fear it’s not just to accumulate strength for themselves or their family, I suspect they have other schemes."

Bai Siyin nodded: "Don’t worry, I know what to do."

Xuan Zhan also nodded along.

Qin Yi stretched lazily: "With you two helping, it wasn’t a wasted trip for me. Goodbye."

"You’re leaving now?" Azure Dragon was surprised.

"Don’t act so shocked, will you?" Qin Yi, full of disdain, said, "Since I got here, you haven’t even offered me a cup of tea. Do I have to wait for you to treat me to a meal before I leave?"

Azure Dragon: "..."

"Kid, don’t be so petty, it just slipped my mind."

Qin Yi curled his lips: "Farewell!"

"Why the rush to leave?"

Qin Yi smiled bitterly: "I got permission from my wife to come out, if I’m late going back, I’ll be in trouble, kneeling on a washboard, alright?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Xuanwu teased: "Turns out the resolute Qin Yi outside is a total henpecked husband at home."

"What do you know? A bunch of single dogs have no right to mock me. Look at yourselves, all with those bachelor faces. How could you understand the happiness of a married person like me."

Everyone: "..."

Damn, a henpecked husband can still say it so self-righteously.

"Kid, hold on a second." Seeing Qin Yi about to leave, Azure Dragon called out, took a booklet out of his arms, and tossed it over.

Qin Yi caught it with curiosity: "What’s this? A Secret Manual?"

"It’s some investigation we did on those Hidden Families over the years, take it back and have a look. Might be useful to you."

Qin Yi was momentarily stunned, flipping through it, it was very useful to him, he couldn’t help but smile, raising the booklet in his hand: "Thanks! I knew you old guys were just pretending to be timid. You already started investigating, and yet you talk about seeking harmony, you’re hypocritical."

Azure Dragon’s mouth twitched: "That’s called low-profile action."

"Haha..." Qin Yi rolled his eyes, turned around as a streak of light, and left swiftly.

White Tiger chuckled: "This kid does have a bit of the flair from back in the day like the old me."

These words naturally drew the white eyes from Azure Dragon and Xuanwu.

"Uh-oh." Azure Dragon suddenly said.

"What happened?" Xuanwu asked.

Azure Dragon frowned: "I forgot to ask this kid about his current attitude towards Vermilion Bird. Given his vengeful nature, let’s hope he doesn’t do anything irreversible."

"Don’t worry, this kid has depth, he’s a person who knows how to act appropriately." White Tiger smiled and said.

In a presidential suite of a hotel in Yinfeng City, Nan Zaixu swirled the red wine glass in his hand, occasionally sipping, looking rather relaxed.

At this time, a figure hurriedly walked in.

"Young Master, everything is arranged."

Nan Zaixu’s lips slightly curved, eyes flashing with calculative brilliance, he spoke: "All according to my instructions?"

"Yes, five Golden Core Stages, fifteen Foundation Establishment, all according to your instructions, Young Master."

"Very good!" Nan Zaixu nodded in satisfaction, "Gong Lie, you will lead the team tonight. Your main task is to hold off Yun Mengyao, she’s at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, the others are of no concern. But remember, only to injure, not to kill."

Gong Lie slightly bowed: "Understood, sir."
