True Warrior

Several winged female warriors came over and looked at Qin Yi for a long time with a complex mix of sympathy, admiration, and a little anger before dragging Gu Shuanglin away and throwing him into prison. The other captured Uwabami Bird were also taken away. The High Priest, however, began to set up an altar and led two winged warriors in some kind of prayer.

Qin Yi wiped his sweat, thinking to himself, "You're not thanking the Dragon and Phoenix God, it seems like it's me. I don't want any reward from you, but could you help resolve this chaotic situation?"

Unfortunately, the High Priest clearly ignored him.

If it weren't for his truly outstanding achievements this time, the Feathered People would be lucky if they didn't kill him just because two women came to disrupt the wedding... Now, at most, they can only pretend they didn't see it and let him do whatever he wants and deal with it himself.

The girls over there have already started tearing each other apart...

Yu Shang crossed her arms and said, "Expressions don't tell the whole story. Some people may appear sincere and gentlemanly on the surface, but they can be ruthless and vicious the next minute. So it all comes down to their true nature."

Meng Qingying laughed and said, "So a smart person who knows how to see the essence of things almost married a two-faced person."

Yu Shang Chang raised her head slightly, a hint of smugness in her eyes. "However, in fact, Qin Yi was already my Husband long before the Marriage Recruitment. The Marriage Recruitment was just a show. Not to mention Gu Shuanglin, even that Gui Che, who has a similar temperament to you, with that inhuman and ghostly appearance... humph."

Critical hit.

Li Jiuyou burst into tears.

Meng Qingying was also so angry that her chest ached. On one hand, they said their temperaments were similar, and on the other hand, they said he was neither human nor ghost—were they insulting Li Jiuyou or her? She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Early before the Marriage Recruitment? Years ago, that guy already had three wives and four concubines. Didn't the Saintess realize from the blessings on that gift list? She's married to a married man and still seems so proud of herself..."

Qin Yi finally couldn't hold on any longer. He quickly stepped between the three to block their view, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and looked like he was covered in sweat and didn't know what to say.

Yu Shang peeked her head out from over his shoulder. "But aren't there also Witch and Daoist Nun squeezing in..."

"Hey!" Minghe, caught in the crossfire, shoved Qin Yi aside and angrily said, "I'm just here to perform a ritual! What do you mean by 'trying to squeeze in'?"

Xi Yue in the sky almost burst out laughing. It was too funny. She had raised Da Minghe since he was a child, and she had only ever seen her disciple with a stern and aloof expression. She had never seen him like this before. Even just to see her disciple's expression, the trip was definitely worthwhile!

Qin Yi quickly stepped back, blocking the way and continuing to bow.

Meng Qingying shoved him aside and said arrogantly, "A mere Cauldron? Get out of my way. What business is it of yours?"

"Cauldron!" This time, Yu Shang and Minghe He both turned to stare at her.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

This seems like a very serious issue.

Minghe was just a little Little Daoist Nun with only a hint of ambiguity, and she couldn't resist the temptation.

Meng Qingying extremely comfortable.

Yu Shang suddenly took Qin Yi and said, "Whether you've come to perform the ritual or to find the Cauldron, you are all old friends of my Husband, here to witness our marriage ceremony... Please rest in the guest room, you two distinguished guests."

Critical hit!

Meng Qingying's relaxed expression froze on her face, and she stared in disbelief, feeling the fire mark on her head slowly turn green.

Everyone in Minghe was confused. "Wait, why am I resting on the side? What does this have to do with me?"

Xi Yue rolled around on the clouds, laughing so hard she almost fell off. She suddenly felt that letting her disciple witness the mortal Immortal Dao and the path to immortality was meaningless; this was much more interesting.

The dog sat inside the ring, watching the Liusu roll around in front of it, speechless.

I don't understand your fun. I just think Qin Yi's face is so red that he's about to ascend to heaven.

"Um..." Qin Yi hesitated for a long time before finally speaking his first words, "You all saw it. This matter is actually related to something else. Minghe Sect sent you here, and I think they must have had other plans than just performing a ritual. Qing Ying is even more involved in this matter... Can we discuss the important matter first? Even if it comes to killing or torture later..."

Anyone could see through this tactic of changing the subject; even Yu Shang wasn't fooled.

Three pairs of eyes were fixed on him. "What's it to you! Get out of my way!"

Qin Yi was sweating profusely. So, all you guys are doing is enjoying the thrill of bickering? All you're thinking about is how to make the other side lose face. Qin Yi, you can just get out of here, can you?

He could only say, "The wedding was disrupted, and Yu Shang Chang is in a bad mood. Please forgive her..."

Yu Shang felt a little better after hearing this, thinking to herself that her Husband still cared about her...

That makes sense. After all, today is Yu Shang's wedding day, and it also serves as a reminder to the two people in front of us to give them some face and not make things too awkward...

Minghe didn't say anything, and even Meng Qingying just snorted coldly. Qin Yi thought to himself that the girls were indeed sensible, so he said to Yu Shang, "Go arrange two guest rooms first. I do have something important to tell them... it's related to the Winged Human Race."

Yu Shang frowned, her gaze falling thoughtfully on Meng Qingying again. Then she straightened Qin Yi's collar and said softly, "I'll go settle things in; don't tire yourself out."

He turned and left.

What do you mean, "Don't tire yourself out"? What am I even here for? Minghe's face turned red with anger as she stamped her foot and said, "I have nothing to say to you. I... I'm only here on orders from my sect. Once your business is done, it's none of my concern anymore. I'm going back!"

Qin Yi was terrified of a chaotic battlefield, but upon hearing this, he blurted out, "Since we're already here..."

Minghe glared at him, annoyed.

Everyone knows perfectly well that if they actually said "you can go back," then they're completely doomed...

"Uh..." Qin Yi said cautiously, "Even if we are friends and haven't seen each other for many years, can't you stay as a guest for a few days? You're in such a hurry to leave, could it be that you still have feelings for me...?"

"Who has lingering feelings for you!" Minghe stomped her foot. "Where's the guest room! Take me there!"

The winged girl, who had been watching from the sidelines for a while, almost burst out laughing. She suppressed a strange expression and timidly said, "Guest, please come this way..."

Seeing Minghe leave indignantly, Meng Qingying crossed her arms and looked at Qin Yi, clicking her tongue in amazement. "Impressive, Grandpa Qin."

Seeing that the High Priest wasn't paying attention, Qin Yi whispered, "I missed you..."

Meng Qingying instantly flushed red, and she stamped her foot, saying, "You're just all talk! Don't think you can get away with this, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yi grasped her hand.

Meng Qingying tried to pull away, but couldn't. She didn't force it again, but angrily said, "Go to your wedding night! What are you holding me for! I'm not your new wife!"

The two were focused on the High Priest and didn't notice that Li Jiuyou was still there. Li Jiuyou's eyes widened in Celestial Person.

You, you, you...

What kind of Cauldron is this, Young Master? Are you kidding me?

Meng Qingying seemed to only then realize that her subordinates were present, and immediately covered up her dissatisfaction. "What does it matter to me whether you want a mere Cauldron or not? Anyway, you're going to help the Feathered People deal with the Netherworld, and I'll still kill you without mercy."

Qin Yi hurriedly said, "The matter of the Feathered People is negotiable. They originally had nothing to do with the Netherworld. Their desire to stop this matter is neither their own need nor a matter of principle. After understanding the situation, I thought it would be better for you to sit down and talk... If you want to accomplish great things, turning enemies into friends is better than fighting..."

Meng Qingying understood this principle, of course. She had Li Jiuyou marry Yu Shang because she saw that this wasn't a matter of absolute principle for the Winged Human Race. As long as he married Yu Shang, there was a high probability of being able to negotiate. In a sense, it seemed better for her that Qin Yi married Yu Shang than Li Jiuyou did, because Li Jiuyou might not have the ability to influence Yu Shang's path, while Qin Yi did.

The question is, is your strategy for turning enemies into friends getting married?

Meng Qingying grew increasingly annoyed, and suddenly increased the pressure on her hand, executing a judo throw that slammed Qin Yi viciously to the ground. "Scumbag!"

Li Jiuyou looked at Qin Yi, who was lying on the ground, with sympathy.

She was initially jealous that he married the Saintess, and even more astonished by his relationship with the Young Master...

But now it seems that this job is really not something that ordinary people can do. If it were Li Jiuyou, he would probably have been skinned alive and his belly fat burned to make lamps...

Only True Warrior can deal with such a demon; ordinary people can only envy it and should refrain from doing so. You'd better enjoy it yourself.

The Young Master of the Ghost Carriage Race had a profound realization and felt that he had attained Zen.
