Qin Yi returned to the Feather Clan, Yun Mengyao and Yin Qianqian were surprisingly at his residence.
"Didn’t see you all morning, where did you go?"
Yin Qianqian casually asked when she saw Qin Yi returning.
Qin Yi went over and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one go, saying somewhat frustratedly:
"I thought there would be some income, but ended up with nothing at all, it’s infuriating."
"What income?"
Qin Yi waved his hand, "Forget it, talking about it is just frustrating."
"Then let me tell you something even more infuriating."
Qin Yi asked curiously, "What is it?"
"While you were out this morning, someone from the Golden Winged Roc clan came."
Qin Yi was slightly stunned, instinctively asking, "Isn’t the Feather Clan at odds with the Golden Winged Roc clan? Why would they come?"
Yin Qianqian said with a smile:
"They came to discuss the wedding event."
"Wedding?" Qin Yi looked puzzled, "Is the Feather Clan going to send someone to the Golden Winged Roc clan to seek protection again?"
Yin Qianqian pointed at Yun Mengyao.
Qin Yi was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Yin Qianqian said, "The Golden Winged Roc clan intends for Yaoyao to marry Jin Wuji. If she does, then Jin Zhan and Jin Zheng’s issues can be overlooked. If not, the Feather Clan will have trouble."
"Heh, so hitting Jin Zhan and Jin Zheng yesterday gave the Golden Winged Roc clan a great excuse."
"But isn’t the Golden Winged Roc clan a bit crazy? Miss Yun may be somewhat attractive, but surely not enough to be chased persistently?"
Qin Yi stared at Yun Mengyao for a long time, "What charm do you possess to make Jin Wuji so devoted to you?"
Yun Mengyao rolled her eyes dramatically, "This lady is youthful and beautiful, as enchanting as a fairy, exceptionally talented; aren’t those reasons enough?"
Qin Yi: "..."
"When did you learn to joke?"
Yun Mengyao pretended to want to hit, "It’s not self-praise; the key is this lady is just too excellent, attracting wild dogs."
"Maybe it’s not because you’re excellent, but because you look like a pile of bones."
"Are you looking to die? It’s you who looks like a pile of bones."
Qin Yi shrugged disdainfully, "And then?"
Yin Qianqian laughed and said, "Then the Golden Winged Roc clan’s people were kicked out of the gate by Yaoyao one foot at a time."
Qin Yi looked at Yun Mengyao and burst into laughter, saying:
"I think you should just marry him. With your temper, honestly, besides Jin Wuji, no one else would dare to want you."
Yun Mengyao replied grumpily, "That’s not something Young Master Qin needs to worry about."
Yin Qianqian said, "In my opinion, we might as well go and wipe out the Golden Winged Roc clan tonight, saving us from their endless troubles."
"That’s not an option." Yun Mengyao suddenly said.
Qin Yi quipped intriguingly, "What’s wrong? Reluctant?"
"Go away, are you even listening?" Yun Mengyao kicked Qin Yi under the table and said, "The Golden Winged Roc clan is the City Lord of Peng City, and this title is granted by the Xuantian Empire. If we wipe them out, the Royal Family will surely investigate, and it will be very troublesome then."
"Xuanhuang Domain is different from other Deserts; other Deserts generally have several Royal Families, so if trouble arises, one can flee to another empire to hide. But in Xuanhuang Domain, the Xuantian Royal Family dominates alone, and there’s no escape once trouble occurs."
Yin Qianqian said, "Qin Yi, Lang Ya strikes, I believe it can be done stealthily without anyone tracing it back."
"The Xuantian Royal Family members are not fools; in Peng City, there are only a few forces. If something happens to the Golden Winged Roc clan, the first suspects would be the Liang Family and the Feather Clan."
Yun Mengyao paused and continued, "Without a legitimate reason, wiping out the Golden Winged Roc clan would only attract trouble."
Yin Qianqian paid no heed to the Xuantian Royal Family, "What’s there to fear? If they’re arrogant, just storm into the Royal Family and take down the Emperor."
Qin Yi was speechless; this woman is even more violent than him.
"The Xuantian Empire is no ordinary empire, boasting hundreds of millions of Royal Warriors and countless experts. Killing one’s way in is practically impossible. Even if Qin Yi and Lang Ya possess reverse cultivation, they would be utterly exhausted."
Yun Mengyao laughed while explaining.
Yin Qianqian muttered, "So troublesome; are we supposed to let the Golden Winged Roc clan pester us every day?"
Yun Mengyao said, "Unless we can find a reasonable cause, then we can strike against the Golden Winged Roc clan."
"But now, the Golden Winged Roc clan is not important. The crucial thing is the Liang Family; the murderers of my parents must be the Liang Family."
Qin Yi curiously asked, "Why are you so sure?"
"Isn’t it obvious? The Liang Family and our Feather Clan have always been at odds, wanting to eliminate our Feather Clan for a long time—my parent’s murderers must be the Liang Family."
Qin Yi cautiously asked, "Have you never suspected the Golden Winged Roc clan?"
"Not likely; the Golden Winged Roc clan has always been on good terms with our Feather Clan. Besides, Yun Luocai has already married Jin Wuji; our two families are related through marriage, so they have no reason to kill my parents."
Qin Yi said somberly, "Sometimes, the least likely things are the most possible."
Yun Mengyao looked at him in surprise, "Why say that? Have you found something?"
Qin Yi thought for a moment and decided to share the clues he discovered with Yun Mengyao.
"I found the Divine Woman’s Tears in your parent’s residence."
"You mentioned the Divine Woman’s Tears before; what exactly is it?"
Yin Qianqian explained to Yun Mengyao what the Divine Woman’s Tears was.
Yun Mengyao’s eyes narrowed sharply several times, "These Divine Woman’s Tears must have been planted by the murderer. Otherwise, given my father’s cultivation, it’s impossible for him to be killed without resistance, having his throat cut with one blow."
Qin Yi continued, "Do you remember the Feather I was playing with at the Yunbin Building’s entrance yesterday? I was even reprimanded by Liang Yuhe, who said it was the Golden Winged Roc’s Feather."
Yun Mengyao nodded, "I remember; wasn’t that something you picked up casually?"
"No, I discovered it in the flowerbed in your parent’s courtyard—the same place as the Divine Woman’s Tears."
Yun Mengyao’s face changed drastically.
"Are you suggesting the murderer of my parents is from the Golden Winged Roc clan?"
Qin Yi shook his head, "A single Feather is not enough to determine anything. You mentioned earlier that the Golden Winged Roc clan has always been friendly with your Feather Clan. It’s normal for a feather to be inadvertently dropped during a visit to your parents."
"No way; my mother likes peace and quiet. Even if guests from the Golden Winged Roc clan came, my father wouldn’t take them to that courtyard."
Qin Yi shook his head, "That only proves someone from the Golden Winged Roc clan visited your parent’s courtyard. It doesn’t mean they’re the murderers. If we want to identify the killer, we’ll need more concrete evidence."
"Actually, I’ve always had a suspicion in my heart, but I can’t tell if it’s right."
