Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1193: Sinister

Yun Qinglian stared blankly at Qin Yi, not understanding what he meant.

However, the two people at the table next to them visibly tensed up, simultaneously looking at the stall owner.

Qin Yi laughed, "Don't be nervous, the stall owner is just an ordinary person, not someone who would poison you."

The two exchanged a glance and then looked at Qin Yi. One of them asked, "What do you mean, sir?"

Qin Yi laughed again, "Nothing, really, just wanted to scare you."

Yun Qinglian: "..."

The two people's eyes narrowed slightly, staring fiercely at Qin Yi.

Yun Qinglian was at a loss. This guy is really a troublemaker; does he just love playing pranks? Joking with strangers — won't that lead to misunderstandings?

Qin Yi shrugged, unabashedly flashing a bright smile at the two beside him.

However, the two did not return Qin Yi's good humor.

Yun Qinglian apologized to the two next to them, "I'm really sorry, he always likes to joke around. Please bear with him."

The two didn't say much more, just snorted and ignored Qin Yi.

Yun Qinglian glared at Qin Yi in exasperation, "Can you not be so ostentatious? Don't cause trouble. I really don't know how someone like you has survived till now."

Qin Yi chuckled and said nothing, burying himself in his food.

Soon, the food on the table next to them was also served.

The two hesitated for a moment, it seemed Qin Yi's words left a shadow in their hearts, really afraid the food might be poisoned.

Qin Yi let out an inopportune chuckle.

The two glared at Qin Yi fiercely, then bowed their heads to eat, as if trying to prove to Qin Yi that they weren't afraid of the food being poisoned.

An unnoticeable trace of a strange expression flickered in Qin Yi's eyes.

"I'm full!" Qin Yi rubbed his stomach and threw a few silver coins on the table, "When you're full, you feel much more at ease. Boss, the money is on the table."

The stall owner came over with a beaming smile, wiping his greasy hands on an equally greasy apron, "Thank you, sir. Please come again whenever you're free."

With that, he stooped to pick up the silver coins on the table.

Qin Yi smiled and looked at the two beside him, saying, "Take your time, eat a lot, this might just be your last meal."

With that, ignoring their astonished looks, he suddenly put his arm around Yun Qinglian's waist and moved them across to the side.

Yun Qinglian was suddenly held and moved to the side, letting out an instinctive exclamation of surprise.

At the same time, there were two soft whizzing sounds, like a blade slicing through leaves.

Qin Yi turned with Yun Qinglian and looked up, his face full of cold smiles.

Your eyes widened in shock, as if witnessing something unbelievable. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Just moments ago, the stall owner was smiling amiably, bowing and scraping. But now, he held a longsword, stabbing right through the two people next to them. Since they were sitting facing each other, the sword went through one person's back and into the other's chest.

"Ah..."

There were still many diners at the stall. Seeing this, they screamed and fled, knocking over tables and chairs, chaos erupting.

"This..." Yun Qinglian was bewildered, unable to respond for a moment. Why did the stall owner kill these two?

The stall owner himself was stunned, looking at his hands in disbelief.

"Tsk, tsk..." Qin Yi snickered, pointing at the stall owner and shouted, "Congratulations, you've killed someone."

The stall owner looked sharply at Qin Yi, gone was the previous amiability, replaced by endless cold and murderous intent.

This sent a chill down Yun Qinglian's spine, only now realizing that this stall owner was not simple.

"Is he a killer?" Yun Qinglian looked at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi smiled, "Correct, but no prize."

"He was supposed to kill us, right?"

Qin Yi nodded, "Right again, congratulations."

"What's going on here?"

Qin Yi pointed at the two people skewered together, "These two were strong practitioners of the Unification Realm. But this stall owner is only at the Great Perfection of the Divine Separation Stage. There's a whole realm difference between them."

Qin Yi continued, looking at the stall owner, "Killing two practitioners a whole realm above you with one strike feels good, right? But let me tell you, these two people aren't simple. You're in big trouble."

"How is this possible? A Divine Separation stage person killing two Unification stage fighters with one strike?" Yun Qinglian was completely puzzled.

Qin Yi laughed, "Because with me, anything is possible."

"Stop beating around the bush. What actually happened?" Yun Qinglian asked, full of curiosity.

Qin Yi chuckled, "Those two were following us the entire way. And this stall owner isn't the same one we saw when we first arrived."

"What do you mean?" Yun Qinglian still didn't understand.

Qin Yi said, "When I first came, the stall's owner was indeed just an ordinary person. This one probably knows some simple disguising tricks. He likely discovered us and temporarily replaced the stall owner, planning to ambush us."

Yun Qinglian realized, "So, his sword was originally meant for us?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

Yun Qinglian gave the stall owner a sharp look; no wonder Qin Yi suddenly moved her aside.

"Something's not right! Even if his ambush was discovered, those two's cultivation is a whole realm above his. How could they not dodge it? It defies common sense."

"You forgot what I said before, that their food was poisoned."

Yun Qinglian opened her mouth, looking at Qin Yi with admiration. So, he knew everything, really incredible, truly observant. She hadn't noticed any difference between the current stall owner and the one she first saw.

"Nonsense, I didn't poison them," the stall owner said sinisterly.

Qin Yi smiled, "Who said you poisoned them?"

The stall owner's eyes turned grim, staring at Qin Yi, "It was you."

"Yes, indeed. But I didn't poison them. I used something that freezes one's movement instantly. Otherwise, with your level of cultivation, you couldn't kill two Unification stage fighters with one blow, right? Of course, only the three of us know about this, enough for you to brag about for the rest of your life. And while I don't know who those two were, I imagine with their cultivation, they must not be simple. Hope you have the chance for a bragging future."

The stall owner's gaze turned vicious, his grip on the sword hilt so strong that his knuckles turned white, emitting an aura of icy murder, "You're really devious."

"Oh, you flatter me! Judging by your aura, you must be a professional killer, engaging in shady deals. If I were you, I would think about how to escape right now, because if you don't leave, it might be too late." Qin Yi's face was full of bright smiles, but the stall owner felt an endless chill.
