Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1132: The Royal Family’s Rules Can’t Restrain Me

Qin Yi?

Li Tianyang's eyes contracted fiercely a few times; he naturally knew this name. Everyone knows about the Third Princess going to the Tianyue Empire for an undercover mission, eventually assassinating the Three Kings. But those who understand this matter know that the one who killed the Three Kings was Qin Yi.

Why would Qin Yi appear here?

Could it be that Qin Yi is actually secretly cultivated by Qiu Tang?

He immediately realized he had guessed wrong earlier. A strong figure like Qin Yi couldn't possibly be a kept man by Qiu Tang.

"Ah, it's Mr. Qin." Li Tianyang smiled and said, "Mr. Qin's name is legendary. I'm just curious, why has Mr. Qin appeared here?"

Qin Yi replied with a smile, "I have a good relationship with the Third Princess. She is now under house arrest by the Emperor, so as a junior, it's natural for me to come to greet the Empress on her behalf, right?"

Li Tianyang sneered, "Anywhere else, it wouldn't be a problem, but this is the Royal Family."

"What about the Royal Family? Are they not allowed to enter?" Qin Yi retorted.

Li Tianyang's face darkened, "The Royal Family isn't a place where anyone can just enter."

"Then shouldn't I be here? I'm the one who can go wherever I want."

Li Tianyang: "..."

"Qin Yi, trespassing into the Royal Family is a capital offense."

Qin Yi chuckled, but his smile was full of mockery, "Li Tianyang, huh? Don't try to impose your royal rules on me; they are your rules, not mine."

"But now you're standing on royal grounds."

"That's what you think. For someone like me, it's just a piece of land. In the vast Four Seas and Eight Desolates, there's nowhere I can't go."

Li Tianyang sneered and said, "You have quite the confidence. Do you think you can escape after trespassing into the Royal Family?"

"You should ask yourself whether you can stop me. After all, you couldn't stop me along with everyone else last night."

Qiu Tang was anxious, not knowing what Qin Yi intended to do. Why was he so quick to admit?

"So last night's palace intruder was Mr. Qin?" Li Tianyang's face darkened. As the protector of the royal safety, over two hundred people failed to stop Qin Yi.

"Indeed, and if I remember correctly, I accidentally hit you with a palm strike. Are you alright?"

Li Tianyang's old face turned gloomy; Qin Yi was not expressing concern but ridiculing him.

"It seems everything last night was a plot by Empress Qiu and you, intending to frame the Second Prince."

Qin Yi smiled smugly and said, "Congratulations, you got it right, but unfortunately, there's no reward."

Qiu Tang frowned tightly, what on earth was Qin Yi up to?

Li Tianyang coldly said, "Qin Yi, do you realize what you've admitted to just now?"

Qin Yi shrugged and smiled, "Li Tianyang, you came late to find Empress Qiu, not to investigate last night's matters, but to catch me, right?"

Li Tianyang's eyes slightly narrowed; Qin Yi wasn't wrong. The guards around the hall told him it sounded like Empress Qiu was talking to someone, although she was under house arrest and had no maid by her side.

So he rushed over. Of course, he didn't know the person was Qin Yi. But unfortunately, upon entering, he observed everything in the hall, finding only Empress Qiu there.

However, he wasn't entirely unrewarded; the portrait of the assassin given by Qiu Tang was an unexpected gain.

Yet, when he was about to leave, Qin Yi popped out on his own.

Qin Yi looked at Li Tianyang and suggested with a smile, "Let's make a deal; you pretend you don't know anything about tonight's events, okay?"

Li Tianyang sneered. Qin Yi made over two hundred of them lose face last night, resulting in the Emperor's wrath. How could he treat it as if nothing happened? Besides, they were neither related nor connected, why should he pretend it didn't happen?

"I, Li, loyal to the royal court, trusted by the Emperor, am tasked to investigate this matter. Although I admire the Empress's character, as a minister, if I can't relieve the Emperor's worries, that is disloyalty. Therefore, I must apologize to the Empress."

Qin Yi's lips curled in mockery, "Never thought you had the spirit of loyalty and courage."

Li Tianyang slightly smiled, "Empress, Qin Yi, let's go meet the Emperor."

Qin Yi laughed, "You're forcing me to take action."

"You can try." Having been injured from Qin Yi's palm strike last night, Li Tianyang hadn't forgotten his grudge, sneering, "As long as there's any disturbance here, I swear, tonight you'll find escape impossible. Even if you manage to escape, the Empress will bear the Emperor's wrath alone."

"Then aren't you afraid of facing my wrath?" Qin Yi said with a smile.

Li Tianyang chuckled dismissively. As if saying, "What are you? Is your wrath really that frightening?"

However, in the next second, Qin Yi directly made his move.

With a punch unleashed, the fist's momentum surged, rolling Fist Light swept forward, enveloping Li Tianyang.

"Courting death." Li Tianyang was furious.

He dared not underestimate him in the slightest. Having fought with Qin Yi last night, he knew full well the terror of Qin Yi.

Terrifying power surged from Li Tianyang, his cultivation operating at its peak, both hands striking, the horrifying force rushing toward Qin Yi like a tidal wave.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided in mid-air with a thunderous explosion, the storm raging fiercely, its power was astonishing.

Qiu Tang's expression changed several times; such a commotion was enough to destroy the entire hall. By then, people outside would hear it, and neither she nor Qin Yi would escape. She was anxious, Qin Yi was not reckless, but she really couldn't understand what Qin Yi was doing.

Li Tianyang let out a muffled groan, his strength was shattered by Qin Yi's Fist Light, and the remainder was obliterated.

"Step, step...!"

Li Tianyang retreated over ten steps, the ground's stone bricks cracked underfoot, his old face flushed red, a hint of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

But he was not panicked; soon, the commotion would draw in people from outside.

However, a shocking scene occurred.

Qiu Tang and Li Tianyang were both dumbfounded.

The swept storm was unexpectedly blocked by a purple barrier rising within the hall.

Array?

Li Tianyang was shocked; the hall actually had an array set up.

Qiu Tang was shocked but suddenly understood; Qin Yi appeared suddenly and didn't act against Li Tianyang but circled the hall once. Now it seemed Qin Yi was indeed setting up an array at the time.

Li Tianyang, shocked, also realized the truth.

He had been careless.

He hadn't guessed why Qin Yi circled the hall, and now he knew it was too late.

Qin Yi blinked, looking smugly at Li Tianyang, "It seems I'm still superior. Now, can we talk properly?"

Li Tianyang snorted coldly, his eyes flickering, pondering his next move.

"Don't bother thinking; the array I've set ensures that no sound reaches outside no matter how earth-shattering our fight is. So you can only face me alone with no backup." Qin Yi said playfully.
