Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 1637 - 1635: Probing Each Other

Ma Chengfeng mournfully stated he was impoverished, insisting he would never go to such a money-burning place like the brothel.

Qin Yi smiled slightly, "Ma Chengfeng, you rake in quite a bit of money daily; over time, you’ve accumulated a considerable fortune, yet I see that your lifestyle remains humble. Why is that?"

"I..." Ma Chengfeng stammered, unable to answer.

Qin Yi observed him with an ambiguous smile.

Feeling uneasy under Qin Yi’s gaze, Ma Chengfeng could only laugh awkwardly and say, "Young Master Qin, I am not like you; despite your youth, your cultivation is astounding. But my talent is limited, my cultivation will go no further in this life, so I must save money for retirement."

"You’re eighty-seven years old, and as a Qi Refiner at the Body Integration Realm, you’ll live well past five hundred. Moreover, your cultivation isn’t weak. Saving for retirement now seems a bit premature."

"A wise bird flies first!"

"Well said." Qin Yi squinted at him, "You have two beautiful female disciples, won’t they take care of you in your old age?"

Ma Chengfeng suddenly raised his head to look at Qin Yi, his expression suddenly changed.

"Wh-what female disciples? I’m all alone; Young Master Qin, please don’t jest."

Ma Chengfeng swallowed nervously, trying to deny weakly.

Qin Yi spoke indifferently, "Aren’t Qing Jian and Hua Jian from Miao Yin Pavilion your disciples?"

Ma Chengfeng’s face instantly turned stern, casting a wary look at Qin Yi.

But soon, he forced a dry laugh, "Young Master Qin is joking, I’m just an old man; Qing Jian and Hua Jian are the Dual Courtesans of Miao Yin Pavilion, how could they be my disciples."

"Oh, so I got it wrong, did I?"

Ma Chengfeng nodded repeatedly.

Qin Yi looked at him and slowly said, "That day, when I was looking for a friend, I accidentally entered a room where I encountered Qing Jian and Hua Jian from Miao Yin Pavilion, who were accompanying a gentleman in white. Due to a misunderstanding, they even wanted to kill me."

"At that time, I was concerned about my friend, so I didn’t argue with them much. Since that’s the case, I’ll go and kill Qing Jian and Hua Jian now; you shouldn’t have any objections, right?"

Ma Chengfeng’s body instantly tensed, his expression anxious.

"Young Master Qin, you are like a Demoted Immortal, why bicker with two women from a brothel? From my perspective, don’t bother them; dealing with such women would only diminish your reputation, not worth it."

Qin Yi gave a cold laugh. This old thing, too stubborn to admit the truth.

"But I’m someone who takes revenge for every small offense; they offended me, so they must die."

With that, Qin Yi stood up and walked towards the door, "You rest first, I’m off to kill those two women now."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a piercing surge of energy, Ma Chengfeng sprang up, and punched towards Qin Yi’s back.

"Bang!"

Qin Yi, seemingly unable to react in time, was punched in the back by Ma Chengfeng.

"Crack..."

The sound of bones fracturing rang out, followed by a scream.

Qin Yi slowly turned around, looking at Ma Chengfeng who was thrown back, his gaze increasingly cold.

Ma Chengfeng was terrified beyond belief; he had put all his strength into that punch, yet it hadn’t even disrupted Qin Yi’s clothes, while his own wrist was shattered, his entire being flung away.

Too strong, Ma Chengfeng felt a deep sense of powerlessness rise within him.

"Ma Chengfeng, do you want to find yourself a reason for me not to kill you?"

Qin Yi’s eyes were indifferent as he looked at him.

Ma Chengfeng struggled to stand and, suddenly, flung three sharp blades in a triangular formation towards Qin Yi.

The distance between them was only four to five meters; in the blink of an eye, the cold gleam reached Qin Yi.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The three blades struck Qin Yi but bounced off as if hitting steel.

These were three sharp daggers.

Qin Yi’s gaze carried mockery; such ordinary daggers couldn’t possibly break through his peerless physique nor damage the Phoenix Battle Armor he wore.

Realizing this, Ma Chengfeng understood these blades couldn’t harm Qin Yi at all.

Therefore, upon striking, he instantly made a dash toward the window, attempting to escape.

Qin Yi spoke slowly, "Your hair will drag you back."

Spoken Word Follows.

Ma Chengfeng’s hair suddenly seemed to come alive, wrapping around his neck like a snake, pulling him back from the window and slamming him to the ground.

Luckily, people in this world loved keeping long hair; whether man or woman, all had long flowing hair. If he had encountered a bald person, this move wouldn’t have worked.

"Your hair wants to strangle you."

As Qin Yi spoke again, the hair entwining Ma Chengfeng’s neck suddenly tightened, making his tongue protrude, veins bulging on his forehead.

Qin Yi extended his hand, enveloping him in invisible power, lifting Ma Chengfeng up.

Qin Yi approached him, "It seems you won’t even bother to find a reason. If that’s the case, I’ll kill you now."

Ma Chengfeng began to struggle mightily.

Qin Yi said playfully, "Afraid? If you’re afraid to die, why dare to attack me? You’re more foolish than I thought."

Ma Chengfeng’s eyes revealed a plea.

"Loosen up a bit."

Spoken Word Follows, the hair around Ma Chengfeng’s neck began to relax.

Ma Chengfeng took deep breaths of fresh air, coughing violently, "Young Master Qin, I deserve to die... But I beg you, don’t trouble those two children; they’re pitiful souls, I’m begging you."

"What, now you admit to knowing those women?"

"They are my disciples."

Qin Yi spoke coldly, "You old fool, you’re truly dishonest."

"Young Master Qin, I know I deserve to die, I deceived you. But I plead with you, spare those two children; they’re still so young. I’ll take all the blame, punish me however you wish, until you’ve calmed down."

Qin Yi walked over and slowly sat down, waving his hand, Ma Chengfeng’s hair instantly relaxed.

"I saw last night, you all split the earned money with the impoverished families. Why do it? Don’t say you’re Robin Hood. Remember, you have only one chance, lie and you’ll die miserably."

Ma Chengfeng appeared grey-faced, as if resigned to his fate, smiling bitterly, "I knew it, someday this would happen. My death won’t matter, but pity those children..."

Qin Yi raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?"

Ma Chengfeng looked at Qin Yi, fear and resentment in his eyes, he spoke, "Young Master Qin, I’ve figured out your identity."

"My identity?"

"Young Master Qin, you’re from the City Lord’s Mansion, aren’t you?"

"Hmm?" Qin Yi frowned slightly, "Why do you think I’m from the City Lord’s Mansion?"

"Young Master Qin, now you’re the one wielding power, I’m at your mercy. You want to kill me, it’s a matter of lifting your hand. Quite unnecessary to hide your identity."

Qin Yi’s eyes flickered slightly, suddenly his gaze sharpened, looking at Ma Chengfeng, "If I’m not mistaken, do you have a grudge with the City Lord’s Mansion?"

Ma Chengfeng froze, similarly looking at Qin Yi, probing, "Could it be that Young Master Qin truly isn’t sent by the City Lord’s Mansion?"
