Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1172: A Kindhearted Man

The sharp sword light, carrying a terrifying might, slashed towards Qin Yi.

Just as Qin Yi was about to make a move, the sword qi suddenly split into three, and its power didn’t diminish in the slightest.

Qin Yi coldly chuckled; this person had some skills.

Thinking so, he struck without holding back, his fist almost transforming into a Purple Crystal Stone. As he punched out, a purple fist mark exploded from his fist, swelling in the wind to the size of a millstone, unexpectedly intercepting all three sword qis.

"Boom!"

The sword qi was destroyed, and the fist mark also exploded along with it. A terrible storm raged around them, shaking everything crazily.

Qin Yi’s lips curved up slightly. As fast as a streak of light, his fists were like a fierce storm, layers upon layers of fist marks stacking up, directly smashing towards Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng’s gaze was solemn, the longsword in his hand continually singing, as the sword qi moved under his control, dancing tightly in his hand.

"Boom boom...!"

One by one, the fist marks were slashed by the longsword, the thunderous explosions shaking the surrounding buildings, making them tremble with signs of collapsing.

Yun Zheng was forced to retreat step by step, leaving a trail of deep footprints on the ground.

"Boom!"

The last fist mark was slashed and exploded by Yun Zheng.

However, before he could catch his breath, Qin Yi suddenly closed in on him, slamming a punch toward him.

Yun Zheng blocked horizontally with his sword.

"Clang!"

The fist, like a Purple Crystal Stone, struck straight onto the sword, and with a clang, the longsword snapped, the fist imprinting on Yun Zheng’s chest. The terrifying punch force destroyed the Black Armor on his chest, blasting out a large hole.

Yun Zheng groaned, his entire body shooting backward like a cannonball, crashing into an artificial mountain with a boom.

"Bang!"

In the next second, the rubble of the artificial mountain exploded, and Yun Zheng rushed out.

"Retreat!"

The first thing he did upon rushing out wasn’t charging at Qin Yi but directly ordering the Black Armor Warriors to retreat.

The Black Armor Warriors, well-trained, retreated swiftly, not forgetting to take their companions with them, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yi was a bit confused. Then, his lips curved into a smile.

Yun Zheng’s cultivation had already surpassed the Body Integration Realm, and he had only been lightly injured earlier, which was not a big deal. He was fully capable of fighting him. However, he ordered a retreat, clearly to give those innocent women a chance to live. This person had a kind heart.

Qin Yi returned to the main hall and found that those innocent women had not left, which left him slightly stunned, "Why haven’t you left yet?"

The women’s faces were panic-stricken as they looked tremblingly toward the hall’s entrance. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to leave, but they didn’t dare to; the Black Armor Warriors were sent by the Emperor, and as long as they hadn’t retreated, they didn’t have the courage to escape.

"Rest assured! They have already left," Qin Yi said.

Qin Yi could clearly see the glimmer of hope in the women’s eyes.

"Hurry and leave here. You can take whatever you want from this place and live well in the future, for yourselves," Qin Yi said softly.

The group of women, supporting each other, reluctantly stood up but knelt down in front of Qin Yi in the next second.

"Thank you, benefactor!"

Qin Yi sighed; this world was too unfriendly to the weak.

Qin Yi raised his hand, and an invisible force lifted them, "Quickly, leave. Live anonymously from now on. That will be the best gratitude to me."

The group of women thanked him again.

Most of these women had some savings, and they also took some gold and silver with them when they left. He believed that they could live a peaceful life in a place where no one knew them.

...

...

On the other side, Yun Zheng returned to the Royal Family and met with the Emperor.

And in front of the Emperor, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You’re injured?" The Emperor was shocked. He knew Yun Zheng’s cultivation. Who could hurt him, especially with over a dozen Black Armor Warriors accompanying him?

Yun Zheng recounted the events.

The Emperor’s already bad mood worsened, and he angrily said, "Such audacity! Dare to harm the Black Armor Warriors? This is rebellion. No matter what method, we must capture this person for this Emperor."

In the Emperor’s heart, challenging imperial authority was an unforgivable crime.

Yun Zheng said, "Emperor, calm your anger..."

"Someone has already dared to attack this Emperor’s Black Armor Warriors. How can this Emperor calm down?" Yun Changqing interrupted Yun Zheng’s words irritably, too many things had happened this night, leaving him feeling stifled.

Yun Zheng said, "Emperor, the opponent’s cultivation is very high. He had the ability to kill us, yet he did not. In my opinion, he does not intend to be an enemy of the Royal Family. Everyone else in the Second Prince’s Mansion has been killed by us, except for a few maids and dancers. I believe they pose no threat to the Royal Family."

The Emperor’s eyes turned cold, "But they were ordered by this Emperor to be killed. How dare he save them? Isn’t this opposing this Emperor then?"

Yun Zheng lowered his head. This had escalated to the level of challenging the Emperor’s authority. It was not appropriate for him to speak further.

"Heal well and leave this matter to someone else," said the Emperor.

Yun Zheng acknowledged. But he understood that the person’s cultivation was formidable; no number of people might work. Besides, would that person foolishly wait for you to come?

Eventually, the Emperor sent Li Tianyang carrying thousands of soldiers to surround the Second Prince Mansion.

However, even after turning the Second Prince Mansion upside down, they didn’t catch a glimpse of Qin Yi.

...

...

The following day, in the morning.

Yun Susu’s mansion had already become Qin Yi’s private residence.

He wandered around the mansion, feeling a bit bored, and decided to go out for a walk. The Imperial City was very prosperous, and he hadn’t thoroughly explored it since arriving. Now that the Second Prince was finished, he could relax a bit.

He planned to meet Qiu Tang in the evening to gather some information.

Qin Yi came onto the street, unknowingly buying two sticks of candied haws. After purchasing them, he puzzled himself; when did he start liking this stuff?

Perhaps eating sweets would improve his mood.

Qin Yi, eating the candied haws, aimlessly followed the crowd, checking out any rare sights he came across, appearing like a country bumpkin.

This Imperial City was indeed prosperous.

Without realizing it, Qin Yi wandered until noon, feeling hungry. He conveniently saw a restaurant nearby and went in.

The waiter led Qin Yi to the second floor, where he sat in a window-side seat with a good view.

According to the waiter, their Xi Ling fish was the best in the capital, unique. He even boasted that if it wasn’t good, it would be free.

Qin Yi found it amusing, so he ordered the Xi Ling fish and asked the waiter to pair it with a few small dishes.

While waiting for the food, two people came up the stairs one after the other.

These two, dressed luxuriously and looking handsome, but their expressions were overly arrogant. After glancing around, they directly approached Qin Yi, arrogantly saying, "You, go eat somewhere else. We want this spot."

Qin Yi: "..."

He only wanted to say, "What the heck?" He had met many people, but this was the first time meeting ones so brazen.

These two were also Qi Refiners, but their cultivation was not high, only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. This level of cultivation, yet they dared to be so arrogant?
