CHAPTER 608: CHAPTER 508: THE CENTIPEDE DIES BUT NEVER STIFFENS

Qin Yi raised his hand and put the token into the storage ring.

Xiahou Jun and the others were filled with shock, really curious about where Qin Yi hid his things.

Mu Lingchen spoke up, "Qin Yi, now that we can be considered a force, we must have a name, and it’s up to you to decide."

"I’ve already thought it over, let’s call it the Peace Army." Qin Yi raised his head and smiled.

"Peace Army, bringing peace to the chaotic world, a good name." Mu Lingchen nodded.

The people tasted the name and nodded in agreement, thinking it was a good name.

Just then, Xuanwu and the others had already finished cooking.

"Let’s eat. After that, we’ll leave, lest old Xuanwu gets annoyed, that old man is not just a little stingy."

The crowd wanted to laugh but didn’t dare, after all, not everyone could joke about the Guardian God like Qin Yi.

The food was simple, a pot meal.

These young prodigies, each holding a bowl, squatting on the ground to eat, looked quite spectacular.

"Qin Yi, do you know what else you need to be cautious of besides the assassination attempts by Qi Refiners from other countries?"

Qin Yi and Xuanwu sat at the only table dining, Xuanwu suddenly asked.

Qin Yi pondered slightly, "The Nan Family, the Mo Family, the Hua Family."

Xuanwu nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Earlier when you wanted to take action against Nan ZaiXu and others, Azure Dragon and I advised you. The forces behind these three are unfathomable. However, now that you’ve already moved, there’s no turning back. This hatred cannot be resolved."

Qin Yi smiled faintly, "I anticipated this before killing Mo Buwen and the others. I suppose Nan ZaiXu and the other three are extremely important to their respective families, the forces behind them won’t let it go easily. However, if they want revenge for Nan ZaiXu and the others, I welcome it."

"Rest assured, since us four old folks are still alive, they won’t be too blatant. But the hidden dangers remain, so it’s best to be cautious."

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

"Do you have any strategies to deal with this?" Xuanwu asked.

Qin Yi put down his bowl and chopsticks, his eyes slightly flickering, "Have you read ’Dream of the Red Chamber’?"

"Hm?" Xuanwu looked at Qin Yi in confusion.

Qin Yi smiled, "I remember when they were searching the Grand View Garden in ’Dream of the Red Chamber’, Tan Chun said something like, for great families like ours, deeply rooted and prosperous, if you want to kill from the outside, it’s not achievable instantly. A centipede dies but never falls down; you have to start by self-destructing from within before you can collapse completely."

Xuanwu was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "I knew you were shrewd. The tree rots from the root first, the radish rots from the core. Facing you guys head-on, those hidden families aren’t your match. You can only outsmart them."

Qin Yi picked up his bowl again, took a couple of bites of rice, and mumbled, "I just don’t believe that in such large families, Nan ZaiXu and others have no competitors?"

"You cunning kid, I’m relieved you’re thinking this way. I only feared you’d stupidly confront them head-on."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, this old man couldn’t have a proper conversation.

After the meal and a short rest, Qin Yi bade farewell to Xuanwu.

"Leaving so soon?" Xuanwu was reluctant.

Qin Yi squinted slightly and said loudly, "Everyone, since Guardian God Xuanwu is reluctant to let us go, let’s give the old man some face and stay here another ten days or so."

Xuanwu couldn’t keep it up anymore, waving his hand with disdain, "Get out, there’s no more food left in the host’s house. I can’t afford to keep so many of you."

Qin Yi pouted, muttering, "Do you really think you’re like underwear, always showing off."

Xuanwu’s eyes bulged like a turtle, waving his hand as if to hit someone.

"Farewell!"

Qin Yi turned and quickly slipped away.

"You’re lucky you ran fast, otherwise, I would have planted you, and by autumn, there’d be a few Qin Yis who could talk growing from the ground."

Everyone stifled their laughter, not expecting Guardian God Xuanwu to have such a lovable side.

"Master, take care of yourself." Xuan Zhan was full of reluctance.

Xuanwu nodded, appearing like a kind ordinary old man in front of his most proud disciple, advised, "Out there, remember to listen to Qin Yi. Although this kid is a bit cunning, his mind is clear and plans are foolproof."

"Yes, disciple will remember."

"Senior Xuanwu, we bid you farewell."

Everyone also bowed and said goodbye to Xuanwu.

Watching the group descend the mountain in grandeur, Xuanwu sighed, suddenly feeling the mountain he lived on for most of his life was a bit chilly and lonely.

...

...

That evening, a group of people walked out of Yinfeng City Airport in grandeur.

Qin Yi took out a black card and gave it to Xiahou Jun, this black card was given to him by Dong Zhiping; in Yinfeng City, any of Dong Family’s hotels can be stayed in at will.

"You settle down first, once I arrange everything here, your good days will come to an end."

The crowd was not worried but joyful, because an end to good days meant Qin Yi would help them improve their cultivation.

For Qi Refiners, nothing is more attractive than improving cultivation.

Qin Yi left alone, hurrying home.

After being away for half a month, he longed to see his family.

Back home, Qin Yi pushed the door open and went inside.

Xia Yanbing and the others were having dinner.

The women were all stunned for a moment when they saw Qin Yi walk in.

"Wow, little hubby is back." Duan Yiyi jumped three feet high, quickly running over to give Qin Yi a big hug, though Qin Yi suspected she was just taking advantage of him.

"Brother."

"Husband."

The women all looked at Qin Yi with surprise and joy.

A warmth surged through Qin Yi’s heart, it’s good to be home.

"Little hubby, have you eaten?"

Qin Yi shook his head.

"Great, we just started eating, come join us."

Duan Yiyi pulled Qin Yi over, and Qin Wan’er quickly got up to serve him a bowl of rice.

Qin Yi walked over to Xia Yanbing, bent down and gave her a little peck on her white, tender face, causing Xia Yanbing to flush red.

"Coming back and being a rogue." Lin Hongzhuang muttered.

Qin Yi rolled his eyes in exasperation, "Although it’s said that a woman without talent is virtuous, can’t you at least read a bit? Who calls teasing one’s own wife being a rogue?"

Lin Hongzhuang threw a big white eye at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi looked at Xia Yanbing’s bulging belly, "Is the little one behaving?"

"They are all very good." Xia Yanbing gently touched her belly, her face radiating maternal glow, a dazzling sight.

Qin Yi squatted down, gently placing his ear against Xia Yanbing’s belly, suddenly his face turned, "Why is there only one heartbeat?"

"The heartbeat you hear is mine." Xia Yanbing said with a face full of speechlessness.

"Uh..." Qin Yi’s face was full of embarrassment.

Lin Hongzhuang shook her head, full of disdain, muttering ’idiot.’

Qin Yi listened carefully, with his current cultivation, he could clearly hear the two little ones’ heartbeats.

Qin Yi thought to himself, "Little ones, in two to three months you’ll be born. Daddy will strive to let you see a peaceful and perfect world, rather than one filled with turmoil."
