Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1227: The Shameless Duo

Qin Yi nodded slightly, a look of admiration in his eyes for Yun Qinglian. This woman's observational skills were quite meticulous.

Yun Qinglian wore a smug expression on her pretty face, pointing at the marks on the ground and saying: "These marks look like they were left by a sharp blade, but they're dense, likely left by the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede. We've tracked the Flying Iron Armor Centipede before, and the marks were similar. From this, we can deduce that the size of this Iron Armor Fiery Centipede is similar to the Flying Iron Armor Centipede we encountered."

Qin Yi's lips curled up slightly, "That's right, what else did you notice?"

Yun Qinglian observed for a while and said: "These marks on the ground vary in depth; the shallow ones have been buried by wind and sand, likely left a long time ago. The deep ones were probably made not long ago, no more than half a month. So, in the past few days, the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede should have been feeding."

Qin Yi's eyes were originally filled with admiration, but upon hearing Yun Qinglian's later remarks, they turned into disdain.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"You weren't wrong, but what you said was all nonsense. If the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede wasn't about to feed in the past few days, why would those bald guys go back to the village to catch people?"

Yun Qinglian's pretty face turned red.

Qin Yi scorned her, "You can't take a compliment, can you?"

Yun Qinglian complained, "I'm just a newbie, being able to deduce this is already quite good. You can't be too harsh on me. You're a seasoned veteran, don't measure me by your standards as a newcomer."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Really useless at everything, but the first when it comes to making excuses."

Yun Qinglian gritted her teeth, glaring at Qin Yi angrily, "You can't be satisfied without putting me down, can you?"

"I'm not trying to put you down; I can't take you with me for long. You need to grow quickly; I don't want you to end up dead because of your lack of experience after I leave."

Yun Qinglian's eyes darkened slightly, "Are you leaving?"

"Yes, I have things to do. The day Yun Susu ascends the throne will be the day I leave."

"Where are you going?"

"Nether Sea."

Yun Qinglian was shocked, "Nether Sea, one of the Four Seas?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

"Why are you going to the Nether Sea? Is your hometown there, or are you actually from the Netherworld Clan?"

"I'm not from the Netherworld Clan, but I have an unavoidable reason to go to the Nether Sea."

"Will there be danger?"

Qin Yi laughed, "Perhaps there will be, perhaps not, it's all uncertain now."

"Can I go with you?" Yun Qinglian asked hopefully.

"No," Qin Yi refused without even thinking. He's going to the Nether Sea not for leisure, but to find a way to revive Duan Yiyi. The Resurrection Technique is the Netherworld Clan's treasured art, and getting it won't be easy—it'll likely involve a fierce battle.

The Four Seas are the heavens, the Eight Desolates are the earth, and the Netherworld Clan controls the Nether Sea, showing their vast influence. If he goes against the Netherworld Clan, even he is unsure of the outcome. Moreover, another Evil Eye holder is in the Primordial; being chosen by the Evil Eye must mean excellence, and he doesn't yet know where the other Evil Eye holder is, but he has a feeling this person will be his formidable rival.

Not to mention Yun Qinglian, he wouldn't even take Yun Mengyao to the Nether Sea. Once he returns Yun Mengyao to the Feather Clan, he'll venture to the Nether Sea alone.

The future is perilous, he can't let his friends risk themselves with him.

Yun Qinglian said, "But I still lack experience; if you take me to the Nether Sea, maybe I'll graduate along the way."

"Yun Qinglian, the world is vast, you can go anywhere, except the Nether Sea. If you ever truly go to the Nether Sea, remember not to mention you know me." He seeks the Netherworld Clan's treasured art, surely fraught with difficulties, but he must obtain it, likely resulting in a battle against the Netherworld Clan.

The Netherworld Clan's power is immense, anyone associated with him would likely suffer their revenge.

It's the first time Yun Qinglian saw Qin Yi so serious and solemn, yet her heart was filled with a bad premonition, "Qin Yi, will you really be against the Netherworld Clan?"

Qin Yi paused, not expecting Yun Qinglian's intuition to be so sharp.

"Qin Yi, I don't care who you're against, I'll always be your friend, that will never change. Even if you're against names, I believe you'll be the ultimate winner," Yun Qinglian said earnestly.

Qin Yi felt a warmth in his heart, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome, because you're my friend, victory is assured."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Your shamelessness bears a striking resemblance to my youthful spirit."

Yun Qinglian looked disdainful, "Actually, your shamelessness resembles my young spirit; I'm older than you."

"Fine, as long as you admit to being shameless."

"Then we'll be the Shameless Duo from now on."

Qin Yi: "..."

"You can be shameless all you want; don't drag me into it. I'm a gentleman."

Yun Qinglian scoffed, "Does a good person call themselves a gentleman? In my opinion, so-called gentlemen just have more discreet methods of wrongdoing that outsiders don't know about."

"Where do you get such ridiculous theories?"

"From you."

"Learning well is tough, but learning bad is easy. Why don't you learn any of my countless virtues?"

Yun Qinglian dismissed him, "What's the use of learning virtues, can't save your life. The wilderness is dangerous, people's hearts are sinister; being shameless is the way to survive long. Besides, do you have any virtues?"

"Damn, Yun Qinglian, I suddenly regret teaching you. Seriously, I already foresee you'll be a headache for many in the future."

Yun Qinglian was full of pride, "My goal is to be the second Qin Yi."

Qin Yi: "..."

"By the way, what do those bald scum gain by feeding innocent people to the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede?"

Qin Yi shook his head slightly, "I don't know. But people don't act without benefit; they surely have something to gain. Perhaps feeding it makes the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede protect them."

"Are you stupid?" Yun Qinglian sneered at him.

Qin Yi: "..."

Yun Qinglian said disdainfully, "So you have your moments of stupidity too. If feeding makes the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede protect them, why didn't it appear when we killed those bald guys?"

"Do you think the Iron Armor Fiery Centipede is a god? Can it know from so far away that the bald guys are in danger?" Qin Yi shook his head, speechless.

Yun Qinglian retorted defiantly, "I bet it's not for the reason you mentioned."

"Then what's the reason?"

"I don't know, I won't easily conclude on uncertain matters."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Yun Qinglian, it feels like you're mocking me."

"Be confident, you're not mistaken, I'm definitely mocking you."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Don't move," Qin Yi's face suddenly turned serious, his eyes filled with horror as he looked behind Yun Qinglian.

Yun Qinglian froze, though she's been with Qin Yi these days, it's the first time she's seen a look of fear on his face. There must be something terrifying behind her; the hair on her back stood on end, her legs grew weak.
