Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1188: You Are Already Surrounded

Yun Qinglian finished speaking, looked at the sky outside, and said, "It's about time, we can leave now. My people are waiting outside the city."

"Why outside the city?" Qin Yi asked in surprise.

"Are you unaware that the war general Lu Zhao here is one of the Eldest Prince's people? If my people enter the city, they'd be too conspicuous. So, I had them wait outside to support us, while I came in alone to find you. I didn't expect you to be wandering around the streets, surely the Eldest Prince knows you're in Fanhua City by now."

Qin Yi shrugged, nonchalantly saying, "So what if he knows?"

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

"Afraid? I'm more afraid of death than anyone else."

"If you're afraid, then leave this place quickly."

Qin Yi laughed, "Then do you think others are afraid of death?"

"Nonsense, who in this world isn't afraid of death?"

Qin Yi laughed, "Since they're afraid, then it's easier to handle. Didn't the Eldest Prince set up a net to kill me? I'll tear apart his net, slaughter his men, until he's terrified."

Yun Qinglian looked shocked, "You're crazy, there are thousands of Qi Refiners, including some strong ones, can you kill them all?"

"No need to kill them all, just a bunch of rabble, nothing to worry about." Qin Yi said carelessly.

"Qin Yi, you're being reckless! I know your cultivation level is profound, but still, a good tiger finds it hard to fight a pack of wolves."

"Aren't you interested in the Beast Core of the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede?" Qin Yi asked.

Yun Qinglian paused, shook her head, and said, "I don't want it anymore."

"If you don't want it, I want it."

"You... do you really want to seek death?" Yun Qinglian said angrily.

Qin Yi's mouth curled up slightly, "Seeking death is not certain yet."

Yun Qinglian was frustrated, "Are you coming with me or not?"

"You go back! I will definitely bring back the Beast Core of the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede."

Yun Qinglian, seeing Qin Yi so stubborn, said angrily, "Then go seek death, I don't care about you anymore."

"Bye-bye!" Qin Yi waved with a smile.

Yun Qinglian glared at him angrily, "I really don't care about you anymore."

"Just take care of yourself, be careful when you leave, there are people outside."

Yun Qinglian was startled, seeing that Qin Yi didn't seem to be joking, she quietly walked to the door, opened a crack, and looked out, she was immediately stunned. In the courtyard outside, a dozen figures had appeared at some unknown time, their shapes vaguely discernible under the moonlight, looking a bit eerie.

Yun Qinglian quickly closed the door, "This is impossible, I just rented here this afternoon, how could it be exposed so quickly?"

Qin Yi laughed, "Did the Eldest Prince know you came to Fanhua City?"

Yun Qinglian shook her head, "I left quietly, and no one noticed."

"How many people did you bring this time?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Seven."

Qin Yi extended his hand, began to draw on the table, the tip of his finger like a knife, wood chips flying, and soon a plum blossom shape appeared, "Isn't this the secret sign used for communication among you?"

Yun Qinglian was shocked, "How do you know that?"

Qin Yi laughed, "When you brought me in just now, you casually drew the same plum blossom at the doorway, I just happened to see it."

Yun Qinglian was shocked at heart, Qin Yi was really observant, she thought she had done it without anyone noticing, but Qin Yi had seen it all.

Suddenly, she looked at Qin Yi, "You don't suspect I left the secret sign on purpose to lure these people here, do you?"

"Not at all." Qin Yi squinted slightly and said, "The people outside weren't arranged by you, but they were indeed lured by the secret sign you left."

"How could this be? I thought of the secret sign on the spur of the moment, only I and the seven people I brought..." Yun Qinglian's words suddenly stopped, her eyes narrowing fiercely, her pretty face tinged with anger, "There's a spy for the Eldest Prince among the people I brought."

"Exactly, your people betrayed you." Qin Yi said with a smile.

"But, the people I brought this time are my confidants, the ones I trust the most, they..."

"You just mentioned, people die for wealth, birds die for food. What confidant is there really? The so-called confidants, you probably spent a lot of money to recruit them, right? Since you can use money to make them serve you, others naturally can too. The so-called loyalty is just because the price for betrayal isn't enough."

Yun Qinglian's expression became dim, with a somewhat bitter smile. Being betrayed by those she trusted would make anyone feel bad.

"Alright, since he betrayed you, it's not worth being sad for him. It's actually a good thing, at least he exposed himself now. If he continued to hide and someday suddenly stabbed you, you'd have nowhere to cry then."

Yun Qinglian knew that it wasn't the time for sadness, and she said, "What should we do now?"

"Chill out."

Yun Qinglian: "..."

"At this time, you still have the mood to joke. If the people outside can appear without alarming us, it proves they all have strong cultivation."

Qin Yi laughed, "They just didn't alarm you, these fools have been here for over ten minutes."

Yun Qinglian opened her mouth, wanting to speak but stopping.

"You're wondering why I didn't say anything even though I noticed them long ago, right?"

Yun Qinglian nodded.

Qin Yi's face displayed a mischievous smile, "Winter has come, it's freezing outside, let them stand there then. After all, it's not us freezing. Plus, wouldn't a few more watchdogs be good?"

Yun Qinglian was taken aback, then felt utterly speechless. These were strong cultivators, immune to cold and heat, how could they feel cold? Qin Yi was just talking nonsense, he wasn't serious, maintaining a joking manner even now, it was outrageous.

Yun Qinglian suddenly noticed the back window, her eyes lighting up.

"Don't even think about it, there are people behind too."

Yun Qinglian's expression froze, walking to the back window, she quietly opened a crack, then quickly closed it. Qin Yi was right, there were a dozen people outside the back window too.

"We're surrounded."

Qin Yi's lips curled into a smile, "No, they're surrounded by us."

Yun Qinglian: "..."

Qin Yi laughed, "Do you trust me?"

"No!"

Qin Yi: "..."

Yun Qinglian, annoyed, said, "Do I have any choice other than to trust you now?"

"Alright, since you trust me, go to the door and shout."

"Shout what?"

Qin Yi laughed, "Just shout that they're already surrounded, and tell them to lay down their weapons and surrender immediately."

Yun Qinglian was stunned, looking at Qin Yi as if he were an idiot.

"You want to bluff them, but this tactic is too stupid, isn't it?" She couldn't help but ridicule.

Qin Yi rolled his eyes dramatically, "Enough with the nonsense, if you want to live, do what I say. Wise people have their tricks, and I guarantee you'll remain unscathed."

Yun Qinglian hesitated, Qin Yi's strategy seemed too foolish, she felt no certainty at all.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle."

Yun Qinglian gritted her teeth, walked to the door, gathered her courage, and said, "You're already surrounded, quickly lay down your weapons and surrender."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Didn't you eat? Louder. Someone who doesn't know might think you're yelling at me."
