Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1055: Encirclement

Although Qin Yi spoke sincerely, Ruyi and Jin Die still held a skeptical attitude, since Qin Yi didn't seem to be joking just now.

It must be said, Qin Yi always has a knack for tarnishing his own reputation. There are a thousand ways to handle this situation, yet he chose the most rogue method. It appears to be ingrained in his nature, difficult to change.

Qin Yi is not a gentleman but rather a results-oriented person who disregards the process. Although underhanded, these tactics are effective.

Qin Yi looked at the two of them, "Actually, there's no need for me to explain so much to you. Right now, I hold the knife, and you are the fish. Have you ever seen a hunter explain to its prey? I also won't ask why you want to assassinate the Wind King, but there's one thing you must satisfy me with—hand over the map of the Four Seas and Eight Desolates. Or take me to the Black Market."

Ruyi mustered up the courage to say, "Even if you go to the Black Market, there won't be a map of the Four Seas and Eight Desolates. Such a complete map is extremely precious, no matter how many rare treasures the Black Market has, it won't have it."

"I remember Miss Jin Die told me there was a map of the Four Seas and Eight Desolates," Qin Yi said, looking at Jin Die.

Ruyi replied, "That's right, the Black Market doesn't have it, but we do."

"Then please hand it to me, and perhaps I can help you kill the Wind King."

Ruyi was taken aback, suspiciously asking, "Why should I trust you?"

"Do you have any other choice?"

"Don't forget, if you want to save the people below, you need to rely on us."

Qin Yi slightly smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, this Ruyi Hall is your stronghold, and the Black Market is related to you. Those people below should be your pawns. Their lives shouldn't matter to me, right?"

Ruyi's face froze; Qin Yi had almost guessed everything right.

"You help me kill the Wind King, and also help me get something. After it's done, I guarantee to give you the map. How about it?"

"What thing?" Qin Yi asked.

Ruyi pondered for a moment and said, "A plan, hidden in the Wind King's mansion, called the Yun Zhe Yue plan."

"Cloud Moon?" Qin Yi savored the words, a glint flashing in his eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, this Yun Zhe Yue plan must be a conspiracy against your Yunyue Empire, right?"

Ruyi's expression changed slightly; Qin Yi's wisdom surpassed her imagination. She sternly said, "That has nothing to do with you. As long as you agree with me, I will present the map to you with both hands."

Qin Yi sneered, "Are you threatening me?"

"I wouldn't dare. It's just business," Ruyi said coldly. "And I can guarantee that the map I give you is the most complete."

Qin Yi squinted his eyes slightly, worthy of being a princess. Even while at a disadvantage, she instinctively showed her cunning side during the negotiation.

"Third Princess, you seem to have forgotten one thing. I can completely choose not to cooperate with you and just walk away. I don't believe that nobody else has a map other than you."

"That's right, perhaps others have maps. But I can responsibly tell you that apart from the Royal Family, no one's map is more complete than mine."

Qin Yi subconsciously surveyed the surroundings.

Ruyi indifferently said, "Stop searching. Do you think I would hide such an important thing here?"

Qin Yi: "..."

This woman's observational skills are extraordinary.

"Qin Yi, you want the map to avoid being hunted. Now, it's just the Wind King. If all the experts of the Tianyue Imperial Family hunt you, without a map, you'll be unable to escape. Cooperate with me, and it's a win-win situation."

Qin Yi chuckled, "Don't overthink. I never thought about running away. No one in this world can make Qin Yi escape."

He wanted the map just to find the shortest route. This Primordial land is vast; without the map, it's unknown how many years it would take to reach the Xuanhuang Domain and Nether Sea.

Ruyi watched Qin Yi, as if probing the truth in his words.

Qin Yi sneered, "I don't want the map anymore. You kill the Wind King yourself. Farewell. No, we won't meet again because you certainly can't escape the Wind King's encirclement. With a hundred thousand troops, you have nowhere to run."

With that, Qin Yi turned and left.

Ruyi's expression showed evident anxiety, but she ultimately didn't say anything more.

Qin Yi went directly downstairs.

"How is it? Did you get the map?" Yun Mengyao asked.

Qin Yi slowly shook his head, quietly telling Yun Mengyao everything. Of course, he skipped the part where he acted like a rogue.

Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi, teasingly said, "Qin Yi, if the opponent were a man, would you still be at a loss?"

Qin Yi understood Yun Mengyao's meaning, just mocking him for being lenient.

"It has nothing to do with gender, only innocence."

Ruyi hadn't harmed him, and because of his actions, her painstakingly managed Ruyi Hall was destroyed. Strictly speaking, he owed Ruyi.

Yun Mengyao understood Qin Yi; he only killed those who deserved it and would never harm innocents. This was his bottom line.

Yun Mengyao said, "What should we do now? We have to get the map from her. The Primordial land is vast. One wrong path could waste years. Neither of us has time to waste."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, they indeed needed the map in Ruyi's possession.

"I still don't fully understand the Third Princess's character yet. Let's see if she's worth helping. Anyway, the Tianyue Empire disgusts me to the extreme. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If she's worth helping, forming an alliance isn't a bad choice."

"What do you plan to do?"

Qin Yi smiled, then pulled Yun Mengyao and headed straight for the door.

Everyone was stunned. These two just walked away like that; what about them?

Old Liu quickly followed.

Qin Yi glanced back at him, indifferently said, "You are free now, no need to follow me anymore."

With that, he pulled Yun Mengyao and disappeared into the night.

Old Liu was initially perplexed, then overjoyed; he was free. But soon, he became panicked. Yun Mengyao killed Young Master Cheng. The Wind King definitely wouldn't spare anyone here, so wouldn't he still die?

Old Liu looked back; the others obviously hadn't reacted yet. He quickly took this opportunity to escape.

But in the next second, the ground began to tremble slightly. Soon after, countless lights appeared from afar, forming a surround, encircling the Ruyi Pavilion.

Old Liu's legs went weak; the Wind King's men had come and surrounded the Ruyi Pavilion.

At this time, the others also noticed this scene, and immediately panicked, faces full of fear.

"Princess, Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao have left, the Wind King's men have arrived. We have too few people, not a match for the Wind King. I'll cover your escape."

The master and servant stood at the window of the pavilion, taking in the situation outside.

"Miss, you are a Nascent Soul Realm expert, you can fly away. Please leave, I'll handle this here."

Ruyi gave a bitter smile, "The sky has already been sealed off, with experts guarding."
