Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1140: Only Jerks Say That

"Qin Yi, what exactly do you want?"

Long Hai viewed Qin Yi with both hatred and fear, just like Li Tianyang.

Qin Yi's lips curled slightly, "I came back to find you because I want you to write a reply to the Second Prince."

"What kind of reply?"

"A reply that makes him believe you still support him."

Long Hai's gaze contracted sharply, suddenly having a feeling that the Second Prince was going to be fatally betrayed by Qin Yi.

"I haven't agreed to support the Third Princess yet."

Qin Yi stared at him intensively but spoke in an extremely indifferent tone: "Long Hai, having reached your current position, I assume you're a smart man. Being a smart man, you should know how to choose wisely. As they say, recognizing the situation is the mark of a true hero."

"Qin Yi, I want to ask you a question."

"Please go ahead."

"You should know, if I can betray the Second Prince today, I could betray you tomorrow. Aren't you afraid?"

Qin Yi's lips curled slightly, "Thank you for your honesty. Honestly, I'm not worried at all."

"Why?"

"Because, I can kill you at any time."

Long Hai's gaze contracted sharply. Subsequently, he couldn't help but chuckle bitterly.

"Long Hai, your support for the Second Prince is simply to preserve your status. I can promise you that. Once the Third Princess ascends the throne, you will still be one of the twelve War Generals of the Yunyue Empire.

Thinking like this, you are not truly loyal to the Third Princess, but to the Yunyue Empire, which makes it much more comforting."

Long Hai: "..."

Self-deceiving, perhaps?

He smiled bitterly, "Can you promise me one thing?"

"Speak," Qin Yi said indifferently.

Long Hai said: "If the Third Princess ascends the throne and wants to settle old scores, can she spare my family?"

Qin Yi was silent for a moment, then said: "Long Hai, I can promise you on behalf of the Third Princess. After the matter is settled, she will not pursue old grievances, and you and your family will live well."

"Alright, I trust you." Long Hai nodded heavily, "I'll write the reply now."

Not long after, Long Hai handed a secret letter to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi put it away, "Farewell, War General Long!"

"Is Young Master Qin heading to Flying Dragon City?"

Qin Yi looked at him without speaking.

Long Hai hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand me, I just want to tell you that Liang Feilong's weakness is his granddaughter."

"Hmm?" Qin Yi raised his sword-like brows, "What do you mean?"

"The Liang Family has been male for generations, and only in this generation do they have a daughter. That daughter is the granddaughter of the War General Liang Feilong. The entire Liang Family treats this girl as a treasure, especially Liang Feilong, who dotes on his precious granddaughter to the utmost.

Perhaps Young Master Qin doesn't know why Liang Feilong supports the Second Prince?"

Qin Yi's eyes flickered slightly, "Could it be that Liang Feilong's precious granddaughter likes the Second Prince?"

Long Hai was stunned, a bit incredulous. Then he said: "Young Master Qin is indeed exceptionally astute, you're right. Liang Feilong's granddaughter named Liang Qingqing has always admired the Second Prince.

It's said that Liang Feilong agreed to support the Second Prince because the Second Prince promised that after the matter succeeds, he would marry Liang Qingqing and make her Empress."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Isn't this Liang Feilong too careless? Just because his granddaughter likes the Second Prince, he chooses to support him so easily. Doesn't he have his own opinions?"

Long Hai said: "That's why I say, Liang Feilong's weakness as a War General is Liang Qingqing. As long as Young Master Qin handles Liang Qingqing, everything will resolve itself."

Qin Yi looked at him peculiarly, "How to handle?"

Long Hai laughed: "Young Master Qin is as handsome as a celestial being, and his methods and cultivation are heavenly. Persuading—no, handling a blossoming young girl shouldn't be a difficult task."

Qin Yi's lips twitched a few times, "Your idea is too wicked, isn't it? You're asking me to deceive a young girl's emotions."

Long Hai thought to himself, what a pretender! Getting the benefit and acting virtuous.

"Young Master Qin, I've met Liang Qingqing, she's very pretty and would be a perfect match with you."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Stop saying nonsense! I have a wife, my heart has been given to her, difficult to give anyone else."

Long Hai looked puzzled, "A noble man having multiple wives is normal. For someone of Young Master Qin's stature, not having several women is what seems strange."

Qin Yi showed contempt, "People who say such things are scoundrels."

Long Hai: "..."

Qin Yi waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll think of my own ways. Deceiving a young girl's feelings, such a thing is not something I can do. Farewell!"

It was only long after Qin Yi left that Long Hai came to his senses, muttering: "Pretending to remain unswayed, even with a wife you're entangled with the Third Princess. Are you helping the Third Princess out of sheer good-heartedness?"

...

The next day.

When Qin Yi arrived at Flying Dragon City, the city gate had just opened.

The streets were cold and deserted.

Qin Yi found a small stall, ate a bowl of hot wontons before heading to the War General Mansion.

When Qin Yi arrived at the War General Mansion, he found the entire mansion heavily guarded by soldiers from various factions searching everywhere, not knowing what they were looking for.

Qin Yi told the guard at the door that he was from the Imperial City and wanted to see Liang Feilong.

The soldier hurriedly went inside to report.

Qin Yi found that as long as it was related to the Imperial City, others had to show some respect.

Not long, the soldier who went inside to report came out, inviting Qin Yi in.

Unexpectedly, not just the outside of the War General Mansion, even inside, was a chaotic mess, with countless soldiers and maids searching everywhere.

Qin Yi followed the soldier inside, filled with curiosity. What were they looking for? Could it be someone had eloped with Liang Feilong's wife?

Qin Yi admittedly had a wicked sense of humor at times.

"War General, here is the person."

Qin Yi looked up and saw an old man dressed in simple clothes, hair and beard gray, with a face full of urgency, bloodshot eyes, messy hair, and the key part was he wasn't even wearing shoes, walking barefoot.

This... guy, is Liang Feilong?

The man stood there like a block of wood, not knowing what he was thinking, or whether he even heard the soldier's words, like an idiot.

"War General, War General..."

"Ah?" The elder awoke startled, quickly asked, "Have you found it?"

The soldier hurriedly said: "War General, I've brought the person for you."

Qin Yi clearly saw a flash of disappointment in Liang Feilong's eyes; could this guy be senile?

Liang Feilong looked at Qin Yi, sizing him up, "Are you from the Imperial City?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly, discreetly showing the token given by Yun Baixuan.

Seeing the token, Liang Feilong's eyes flickered. He then instructed the soldier who brought Qin Yi in: "Take him to the main hall; once the person is found, I'll come."

"Yes." The soldier received the order, turned to Qin Yi, "Young Master, please follow me."

Curious, Qin Yi asked: "What exactly are you looking for here?"
