Chapter 106: Chapter 93: Straight Hook, Baited Trap! Who Is the Fisherman? (Part 3)

After leaving Zheng Yi, the strong support, he and the Qi Family are nothing, so they carry out Zheng Yi’s orders meticulously.

To be honest, even Li Mingqi had tempted him, offering various lucrative conditions. Qi Lin appeared respectful and loyal like a lapdog, but he secretly scorned them, looking at Li Mingqi and his people as if they were a joke.

He is a practical person who values real benefits. Li Mingqi’s group are losers in the internal chaos of the Sect, outcasts driven to remote corners, daring to use empty promises to lure him, thinking others to be as foolish as they are.

Moreover, even if Li Mingqi offered substantial benefits, Qi Lin was prepared to stab them in the back. His fate and that of the Qi Family are tied to Zheng Yi, everything else is nonsense.

Their interests are bound too tightly, already like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, unable to break free.

How could they be swayed by a few words from others?

"A person may not have the intent to harm the tiger, but the tiger has the will to harm humans..."

"Originally, I wanted to leave you a way out, but it’s a pity you don’t know how to retreat. Since you won’t be sensible, then you can’t blame me for being ruthless."

A calm voice resonated in Zheng Yi’s Cultivation Secret Room, as if discussing a trivial matter, then Zheng Yi slowly closed his eyes and continued with his cultivation.

...

In the Qi Family’s main hall, Li Mingqi and his group were deep in thought, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

"Sir, since this is the territory of the Soul Catching Sect, we should settle here. With the foundation of the Qi Family, I believe it won’t take long for you to rise again and reclaim the leadership position in the Sect."

Suddenly, someone spoke up.

"Well said, a man of courage does not bother with minor details. This is already the territory of the Soul Catching Sect, and you, as the Sect’s Direct Disciple and heir to the Third Elder, have the right and qualification to lead the Qi Family."

"As long as you speak, whether it’s the Qi Family or that small Inner Sect Disciple, they ought to give way obediently, do they really plan to resist?"

The last sentence drew laughter from the group.

In their inherent impression, the Direct Disciples are the core inheritors of the Sect, the future high-ranking officials of the Sect, even if they are not in a good position now, dealing with a small Inner Sect Disciple and a small Qi Family should be a piece of cake, no?

At the moment, their group is championing the righteous cause of the Sect and holds overwhelming power. Seizing the foundation of a Qi Family is a mere trivial task.

It seems necessary to reorganize the Qi Family for their restoration.

"Since this is the case, it’ll have to aggrieve Junior Brother Zheng Yi."

One word after another, it seemed as if the Qi Family had already become Li Mingqi’s possession, as if just a simple gesture from them would make Zheng Yi and the Qi Family meekly offer everything up.

Li Mingqi had been eyeing the Qi Family for some time, but due to the continuous turmoil along the way, he was somewhat apprehensive.

But since so many fellow disciples had already persuaded him, he naturally seized the opportunity.

They are a group of River Crossing Fierce Dragons, and even if the Qi Family is a local snake, facing such a situation, they will probably have to bow and scrape.

...

In a few days, amid the enthusiastic hospitality of the Qi Family, Li Mingqi’s group was enjoying themselves immensely.

But the more it was so, the more envious they became of the Qi Family’s foundation. In their eyes, why should a small local Qi Cultivation Clan have such good fortune?

These scions of the Sect’s prodigies have instead ended up homeless, forced to compete with a minor local family for resources.

Thus, the more discontent, greedier, and jealous they became, the more likely they were to resort to reckless actions.

While outwardly harmonious, under Li Mingqi’s secret maneuvers, all the investigated information was compiled.

Their plan to seize the entire Qi Family’s foundation was proceeding smoothly.

One day, Li Mingqi and others held a gathering and specifically invited Zheng Yi to the banquet.

Clearly, Li Mingqi’s side hadn’t even realized they treated themselves as the hosts, giving directions with an undeniable air.

The two sides engaged in enthusiastic exchanges, the atmosphere of the gathering was lively and bustling. After a while, as the dishes and drinks were cleared away, someone slowly spoke up.

"Junior Brother Zheng Yi, you’ve guarded the Qi Family for a year. Truly, you have labored well, and this time Senior Brother Li Mingqi understands your toil and intends to relieve you. What do you think? You can return to the Sect and report back, with more rewards to follow..."

During the gathering, at a glance from Li Mingqi, an Inner Sect Disciple stood up and said. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your concern. But this small Qi Family in the Badong Town mining area is a remote place; how could it trouble Senior Brother Li, such a majestic Sect True Disciple, to manage it personally? Wouldn’t that be overkill?"

"No need to trouble Senior Brother Li, since I am ordered to guard here for three years, I naturally won’t abandon my post due to hardship. I will certainly manage the Black Iron Ore Vein well for the Sect..."

Zheng Yi, unsurprised, maintained a calm and composed demeanor, smiling as he spoke.

"You..."

It seemed unexpected that Zheng Yi, an Inner Sect Disciple without deep roots in the Sect, could remain unaffected by threats, and faced a subtle rejection, they were somewhat angry, ready to burst out, yet Li Mingqi stopped them with a wave.

"Alright, we’re all fellow disciples, let’s not speak as outsiders."

Li Mingqi soothed his subordinates’ emotions and continued speaking.

"Junior Brother Zheng Yi, to be honest, this time Senior Brother is new here with nowhere to settle. This Qi Family happens to be a good place, Senior Brother would like to borrow it for a while, Junior Brother shouldn’t refuse, right?"

His words seemed like consultation, but the tone was more of a command, a master directing his servant, admonishing Zheng Yi to quickly move out of the place.

"Senior Brother, you joke so well, this is the territory of the Sect, I am just a temporary manager, how could I let it go?"

Zheng Yi looked into his eyes, smiled slightly, then said calmly.

"Besides, this Qi Family bears the surname ’Qi’, not ’Zheng’. Senior Brother asked the wrong person..."
