With a swish, Zhou Lan’s complexion dramatically changed. Oh no, was her father planning to send her man to the Prisoner’s Graveyard?

Just as Zhou Lan thought this, Qin Yu also considered the possibility, and he felt extremely pleased. He had not expected to achieve his goal so easily!

As long as he could blend in with the team from the Heavenly Secret Sect entering the Prisoner’s Graveyard, he would be able to uncover the truth! He could take advantage of the chaos to rescue Yang Jingling.

In a panic, Zhou Lan pleaded, "Father, you mustn’t send Yang Xiong to the Prisoner’s Graveyard! It’s far too dangerous there!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong’s expression became complex. If it weren’t for his grandson, if it weren’t for the Zhou Family’s last glimmer of hope, he would definitely have sent Yang Xiong to the Prisoner’s Graveyard as cannon fodder!

"Lanlan, actually, going to the Prisoner’s Graveyard isn’t as terrible as it sounds. The main force will be those from the Heavenly Human Realm. I just need to do some odd jobs, provide some logistical support, that’s all," Qin Yu said with a grin, signaling Zhou Lan to be at ease.

But Zhou Lan couldn’t calm down and loudly objected, "Yang Xiong, have you lost your mind? Even our Sect Leader doesn’t dare to enter the Prisoner’s Graveyard lightly! It’s too dangerous! With your cultivation, you won’t even be able to withstand the outer Evil Spirits, right?"

In truth, Qin Yu’s reassurances were deliberate provocations aimed at Zhou Tong, meant to disgust him and earn his disdain.

Qin Yu’s plan worked; Zhou Tong indeed harbored a deep contempt for this incompetent son-in-law!

But Qin Yu had not considered the complication of a second child. Zhou Tong was terrified of anything happening to his son Zhou Cong. If Zhou Cong were to meet with an accident, the second child would be the Zhou Family’s last hope!

Therefore, Zhou Tong suppressed his disdain and said with a gloomy face, "Lanlan, don’t try to persuade him."

At those words, Qin Yu’s heart leaped with joy. Ahahaha, his performance had succeeded, and he had finally managed to blend in with the army set to punish the Prisoner’s Graveyard!

"Father..." Zhou Lan wore an expression of grievance but dared not defy her own father.

"Lanlan, why cry? I never said I would send Yang Xiong to the Prisoner’s Graveyard. Several members of the Formation maintenance team have been drawn to join the army against the Prisoner’s Graveyard.

Just so happens there’s a cushy spot available, and we’ll let Yang Xiong fill it," Zhou Tong declared.

Huh? Inside, Qin Yu felt as if ten thousand alpacas were galloping through his mind! Damn it, had his lucky father-in-law taken the wrong medicine? Why was he being so cooperative?

Unlike Qin Yu’s frustration, Zhou Lan was overjoyed. She repeatedly bowed to Zhou Tong, "Thank you, Father, for your care and attention!"

After bowing, Zhou Lan looked at Qin Yu with excitement, and seeing him staring blankly at his own father, she felt triumphant. Now she’d have something to rub in her husband’s face!

Now her husband would have to serve her well after returning home!

Seeing Qin Yu’s incredulous expression toward him, Zhou Tong felt displeasure rising in his heart. This young man, given such a lucrative position, was reacting with such indifference?

"Hmph!" Zhou Tong grunted unhappily.

Noticing her father’s mood, Zhou Lan nudged Qin Yu’s arm hurriedly, "Yang Xiong, have you been stupefied by the sudden joy? Hurry up and thank Father!"

Joy? Damn joy, it was more like a shock, right?

Qin Yu took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Zhou Tong with exaggerated humility.

"Many thanks for your care, Father-in-law."

Zhou Tong’s face eased somewhat as he said gravely, "Your mother-in-law has been idling lately. You better hurry up and work on the second child with Lanlan. Give her something to do."

Zhou Lan’s eyes sparkled; she too wanted a baby.

Qin Yu felt uncomfortable under Zhou Lan’s intense gaze. Damn, this woman was terrifying.

Qin Yu quickly spoke righteously, "Father-in-law, I am grateful for your care, but I cannot accept this cushy job! I refuse to be a man who lives off others. I want to earn my wife and ensure my child’s future with military achievements! I want to break through in battle! I want to become a Celestial from the Heavenly Human Realm! I want to live in a high-end residence with Lanlan openly and honorably!"
