Not only did Xiao Jian think Qin Yi was crazy, but everyone else did too.

The Soul Chasing Mercenary Group, Blood Killing Tower, and Poison Tongue Organization all want Qin Yi dead. Because Qin Yi killed Ao Shi and others, there's no going back for either side.

Now, the three forces have joined hands, preparing to kill Qin Yi together and divide the Sword Sect's bounty. The fact that Qin Yi wants to cooperate with these three forces is downright insane.

However, Qin Yi curved his lips into a confident smile, "Why don't we take a gamble? The first to find us will definitely be one of these three forces. And I guarantee, the first to find us will be eager to cooperate with us."

Everyone looked disdainful, thinking Qin Yi had lost his mind. Only Yun Mengyao said, "I believe in Qin Yi."

She had known Qin Yi the longest and understood him the best. Whenever Qin Yi wanted to do something, he would always get it done.

Seeing everyone look at him with skeptical eyes, Qin Yi smiled slightly and said to Jing Wuyan and the others, "Alright then, today I'll give you a lesson, show you what greed can do, what is human nature?"

After saying this, Qin Yi walked over to sit down, "Xiao Yanzi, come and pour some tea."

Jing Wuyan was taken aback, then walked over to pour tea for Qin Yi. Qin Yi had done so much for him, saving his life multiple times, and was even willing to challenge Sin Tower to save Xiaoxi. Pouring tea was the least he could do.

Xiao Jian also walked over, sat opposite Qin Yi, and said, "I think I understand your idea."

"You don't understand," Qin Yi said with a smile.

Xiao Jian's expression stiffened, "I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. Do you think I can't see through your little tricks, can't figure out what you want to do?"

Qin Yi teased, "Eating more salt than I've eaten rice only proves you have a stronger taste preference, nothing else. And if someone like you could see through my plans, they would be too simple indeed."

Xiao Jian's mouth twitched, "I get what you mean, you're saying it's all for profit, that one of these three forces will cooperate with you for money, right?"

Qin Yi shook his head, "Right and wrong."

"Stop pretending to be profound. Why don't you tell me what's right and what's wrong?"

Qin Yi said, "You said that I plan to make them move for profit, that's not wrong. But how could my plan be so shallow?"

"So what's your deeper intention?"

Qin Yi laughed, "The Buddha says: cannot say, cannot say. If I tell, it won't work."

Xiao Jian looked disdainful, "Playing tricks."

Qin Yi shrugged, noncommittal.

Everyone waited with reassurance.

Jing Wuyan asked curiously, "Brother Qin, since you've decided, I fully support you. But out of these three forces, which one would you rather cooperate with?"

"The Poison Snake Organization."

"Why?"

"Because they'd do any dirty deed for profit, so they're easy to persuade."

Jing Wuyan nodded slightly.

As a result, everyone waited until noon, but not even a shadow appeared.

Qin Yi complained, "Their ability to get things done is too lousy. Have they not found our location in all this time?"

Jing Wuyan laughed, "Really admire you, so eager to meet the enemy."

Qin Yi chuckled, "Profit motivates me. I'm ready to collect on the banquet. Besides, we only have three days, it's a bit rushed."

Jing Wuyan was speechless.

"Brother Qin, I think we should eat first."

Qin Yi nodded, "People are like iron; food is like steel. Skip a meal, and you feel weak. Being well-fed gives you the energy to work. Eating is something where you shouldn't mistreat your stomach any time."

Mo Xiao and others went to cook.

An hour later, the dishes were served, though not particularly tasty, they weren't inedible either.

A dozen or so people sat around the table.

"Uncle Xiao, Brother Qin, start eating."

Just as Qin Yi and Xiao Jian picked up their chopsticks to start eating, Qin Yi suddenly complained, "Damn, they come neither early nor late, but right at meal time. Are they a pack of dogs? Following the scent of food."

Xiao Jian and the others instinctively looked at him.

Qin Yi said helplessly, "Someone's here."

Everyone tensed up instinctively.

Xiao Jian probed for a while, puzzled, "Why don't I feel anything?"

"Your cultivation is too weak; it's normal not to sense it."

Xiao Jian: "..."

Suddenly, Xiao Jian's expression changed slightly, "They really are here."

He glanced at Qin Yi, his eyes filled with surprise. He could only sense them when they were within a hundred meters, while Qin Yi sensed them much earlier. Qin Yi's cultivation level was truly intriguing, how advanced was it?

Qin Yi smiled, "Come on, I've been preparing the bones for ages, and these stray dogs finally come. I've been eagerly waiting."

With Qin Yi's words, shadows swiftly flashed into the compound, leaping onto walls, rooftops, surrounding the entire place.

Qin Yi glanced around; they were all in black, wielding an assortment of weapons, and couldn't help but laugh, "Just hoping for something, and here it is, the first ones to come are indeed from the Poison Snake Organization."

"Folks on the roof, be careful up there, this is the only place we can live, don't step on it," Qin Yi shouted with a grin.

"Who's Qin Yi?"

Among the people entering the courtyard, an old man with a gaunt face, holding two scimitars, asked in a deep voice.

Qin Yi raised his hand like a school kid answering a question, "I, I am Qin Yi."

The other party was taken aback, squinting at Qin Yi. Could this person be a fool? Didn't he know why they were here? However, he didn't think Qin Yi was a fool. How could someone who overran a Sword Sect branch, forcing the Sword Sect to use all means to eliminate him, be a fool?

Qin Yi looked at the other party and said, "Are you the leader?"

The other nodded slightly, his gaze cold as a snake, "Poison Tongue Organization, Black Snake."

"Oh, hello, hello! I've long heard of your great name, honored to meet you today," Qin Yi exclaimed joyfully, cupping his fists.

Black Snake was dumbfounded, squinting at Qin Yi. Qin Yi's behavior was too bizarre, entirely unlike someone who overturned a Sword Sect branch, not showing any mastery at all, more like a cunning merchant.

Yun Mengyao looked at him with disdain, muttering, "You haven't even heard of him, yet you say you've long heard of his great name, so insincere."

Qin Yi glared at her, then looked at Black Snake and said, "Hua She is also one of your people, right?"

Black Snake's gaze became gloomy, staying silent.

Qin Yi said cheerfully, "I killed Hua She, sorry about that. You won't hold it against me, will you?"

Black Snake remained silent, but murderous intent flickered in his eyes.

"Qin Yi, stop pretending to be crazy here. You know why we came. I advise you to surrender to avoid unnecessary pain."

Qin Yi beamed, "No problem, no problem. But can you let me finish my meal first, at least die on a full stomach?"

Black Snake looked at Qin Yi, his expression uncertain, and his eyes filled with doubt.
