Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 1496: Just Asking to Be Hated

The faces of those present turned pale, all were intimidated by this terrifying pressure and formidable sound.

Jing Wangyou’s expression slightly changed, but he was indeed different from the others.

Although this pressure and sound were terrifying, they hardly intimidated those with Absolute Domain.

He was about to speak to counterattack, when suddenly his expression froze.

"Jing Palace Master, I am Qin Yi."

Qin Yi’s voice echoed in Jing Wangyou’s mind.

Only then did Jing Wangyou realize that all the commotion here was caused by Qin Yi.

As Qin Yi spoke now, it seemed he also understood the situation of Netherworld Hall and intentionally intimidated those present.

Jing Wangyou bowed and said, "Ancestor, please forgive me, I shall retreat now."

After speaking, he turned to the people present and said loudly:

"Everyone, don’t panic. It’s just our ancestor of Netherworld Hall in seclusion here, accidentally causing a disturbance."

"I apologize for the disturbance caused to you all."

"Please everyone, return, don’t disturb the ancestor’s cultivation."

The faces of those present slightly changed.

So, there was indeed an ancestor of Netherworld Hall guarding here.

It seems that this Netherworld Hall is indeed unfathomable; judging by the extent of damage at the scene, the ancestor’s cultivation is supreme.

"I told you, who dares act recklessly in Netherworld Hall. Turns out it’s a senior from Netherworld Hall."

"In that case, let’s not disturb the senior’s cultivation."

"Jing Palace Master, we’ll take our leave first, farewell."

Those present spoke and left one after another.

Once everyone had gone, Jing Wangyou smiled bitterly in helplessness.

This Qin Yi, lost control before and destroyed many buildings of Netherworld Hall.

Now, who knows what he’s up to? Even the back garden is ruined.

If this keeps up, before Jing Wuyan gets married, the entire Netherworld Hall is in danger.

"Father, is our ancestor of Netherworld Hall in seclusion here?"

Jing Wuyan curiously asked.

As he knew, the tributor and ancestors of Netherworld Hall were all in seclusion in the Netherworld Hall’s Holy Land.

Jing Wangyou fell speechless and waved to dismiss the disciples of Netherworld Hall nearby, leaving only trustworthy ones.

"Little friend Qin Yi, come out."

Everyone suddenly saw a blur before their eyes, and Qin Yi appeared before them.

"Brother Qin, when did you arrive?"

Jing Wuyan asked in surprise, assuming Qin Yi was attracted by the commotion here.

Qin Yi embarrassedly touched his nose, "I arrived a bit earlier than all of you."

"Little friend Qin Yi, do you plan to destroy my Netherworld Hall?"

Jing Wangyou said speechlessly.

Qin Yi looked embarrassed, "I’m truly sorry. There was a mistake while cultivating just now, didn’t control properly."

He looked around and saw the damage was indeed quite serious.

Only then did everyone understand and looked at Qin Yi in shock.

"Brother Qin, was this destruction caused by you?"

Jing Wuyan asked.

Qin Yi nodded embarrassingly, "A mistake, purely a mistake."

"And the voice just now?"

"Also me."

Everyone realized, it was all Qin Yi’s antics.

"Jing Palace Master, truly sorry, I will cover the restoration costs here."

"No need, our Netherworld Hall can afford such expenses. Just promise not to cause a big commotion before Wuyan’s wedding."

Qin Yi embarrassedly touched his nose, knowing Jing Wangyou’s predicament, being watched by countless eyes.

"But thank goodness you acted just now to intimidate; I’m sure certain evildoers with ill intentions were scared quite a bit."

"Of course."

Yun Mengyao suspiciously asked, "Have you been hiding here these days?"

Qin Yi nodded.

"With people everywhere outside, it’s quieter here."

"You’re really good at finding peace."

Jing Wangyou laughed, "Alright, I will send someone to handle this here."

"Little friend Qin Yi, tomorrow is Wuyan’s wedding day. I’m afraid I’ll be busy afterward. While there’s still some time, let’s go have some drinks."

Qin Yi nodded.

...

The table was overflowing with delicacies and fine wine.

Jing Wangyou laughed, "Tonight, let’s all indulge a bit. These past few days have been maddening with those folks, my head’s about to explode."

"It’s thanks to little friend Qin Yi being clever, hiding right from the start."

"Come, let’s raise our glasses together; the first toast is to celebrate little friend Qin Yi’s cultivation breakthrough."

Everyone looked at Qin Yi in shock.

So the commotion earlier was caused by Qin Yi’s breakthrough.

Qin Yi wasn’t surprised that Jing Wangyou noticed his cultivation breakthrough.

He had sparred with Jing Wangyou before; Jing Wangyou’s cultivation was profound, so noticing his breakthrough was not strange.

"I remember you broke through not too long ago, how did you break through again?"

Yun Mengyao asked enviously.

Qin Yi raised his glass and laughed:

"Everyone was busy these days, and while idling, I casually broke through another level."

Everyone present wanted to throw their glasses at Qin Yi’s face.

That statement was outrageously shameless.

As if breakthrough was as simple as having a meal.

Keep in mind, apart from Jing Wuyan and Xiao Xi, who are two years younger than Qin Yi, everyone else is older.

In terms of cultivation, besides Jing Wangyou, Qin Yi is in a league of his own compared to others.

For them breaking through a level, it takes between half a year to decades.

Yet Qin Yi managed to break through casually in the few busy days.

Listen, is he even speaking human?

"You’re going to kill us with your boasting." Yun Mengyao said angrily.

Everyone nodded, faces full of envy and resentment.

Why is it so challenging for them to cultivate, while Qin Yi does it as easily as eating and sleeping, it’s infuriating!

Qin Yi proudly said, "Don’t be discouraged; this world divides geniuses and ordinary people. Your talents may not compare with mine, but compared to others, you’re already quite good."

Jing Wuyan smiled bitterly, "Brother Qin, you’d better not comfort us."

"That’s not comforting, he’s just purposely upsetting us."

Yun Mengyao pointed out.

"Our talent may not match this anomaly, but can we drink better than him?"

"Let’s all make him drink."

Yun Mengyao’s suggestion received unanimous support.

Qin Yi laughed, "Bring it on, I’ll show you what a thousand cups unfazed means."

Sure enough, bragging comes with a price.

No one is perfect; Qin Yi’s talent may be outstanding, his wisdom unparalleled, but in other areas, he’s not as perfect.

Like music, chess, calligraphy, culinary skills, etc.

Also, his drinking capacity—it’s truly unspeakable.

Halfway through the meal, he was already so drunk he couldn’t tell Southeast from Northwest.

In the end, he repeatedly used energy movement to secretly dissipate the alcohol a few times, otherwise, he wouldn’t make it off the table alive.

"Qin Yi, let me help you back to your room."

Yin Qianqian breathed temptingly by Qin Yi’s ear.

Yun Mengyao pulled Qin Yi over and told Yin Qianqian, "I’ll take Qin Yi back, if you’re drunk, go back yourself."

Usually, it’s fine; she trusts Qin Yi to resist Yin Qianqian’s temptations.

But now that Qin Yi is drunk, it’s uncertain.

She needs to keep an eye out in case of drunken misbehavior, if Qin Yi is taken advantage of by Yin Qianqian, how could she explain to Xia Yanbing?
