Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 776 776: Holding the Lifeline

"Old Wang, take care. If I still have time after I'm done, I'll definitely come find you for a drink."
Wang Zheng nodded and cupped his fists, "Farewell!"
However, just as he turned around, suddenly there was a sound slicing through the air behind him, sending chills down his spine.
But before Wang Zheng could react, with a bang, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.
Mo Wuji and the others stared wide-eyed at Qin Yi, who had knocked Wang Zheng out.
Qin Yi slowly withdrew his hand, smiling, "Old Wang, I'm sorry. Although as the saying goes, 'the viewer receives a share,' I can give you a part, but I can't share it with others. Just have a good rest. By the time you wake up... the flowers will have wilted. Hehe..."
"Qin Yi, what are you doing?" Bai Jingqing asked in confusion. Wang Zheng had taken good care of them along the way, so she couldn't understand why Qin Yi knocked him out.
"Old Wang was leaving, probably intending to inform Lin Zhengnan, right?" Mo Wuji chuckled.
Qin Yi grinned, giving a thumbs up, "To be honest, aside from matters of the heart where you're clueless, your brain's almost caught up with mine in other affairs."
"Qin Yi, you're too kind." Mo Wuji smiled.
Qin Yi looked at Heiya, "You can start talking now."
Heiya said, "Could you let go of my bird first?"
"I'll say it again, I'm the one calling the shots here now. Speak, or else I'll treat you to some bird meat."
"I'll talk, I'll talk... but you have to promise me that after I speak, my bird will remain unharmed."
"I can't promise that. These birds were startled, and there might be a few with concussions. Heiya, don't test my patience, hurry up."
Heiya sighed deeply, looking resigned. Qin Yi had him by the throat.
"Fine, I'll talk. A few days ago, I discovered a new Earth Spirit Stone mine, just in Ghost Valley."
"Ghost Valley?" Qin Yi frowned.
Heiya said, "Five hundred kilometers south."
"How did you discover this vein?" Qin Yi asked.
Heiya pointed to the birds in the sky, "They discovered it."
"You really understand bird language?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
Heiya nodded.
"I've told you, can you release my bird now?"
Qin Yi's lips curled slightly, "I didn't expect these birds to be so useful, discovering an Earth Spirit Stone vein. I can't bear to harm them now. How about this, draw me a map that clearly marks the entrance to the Earth Spirit Stone mine."
"Let my bird go first." Heiya said again.
Qin Yi's tone dropped, "Old Mo, start cooking, let's try one first."
"No, no... I'll draw, I'll draw right away, just don't harm them." Heiya shouted anxiously.
"Then be quick about it, my patience is limited."
"I'll get the paper and pen." Heiya turned and ran inside.
Ziyuan laughed, "This guy was so rude before. Now he doesn't have any temper in front of Lord Qin."
"Exactly, he kept yelling 'get lost' before. But now he listens obediently." Qing Lan chuckled.
Bai Jingqing said coldly, "This is what they mean by 'a wicked person will be dealt with by a more wicked person.'"
Qin Yi's mouth twitched, turning to look at her, "Do you still want to eat Old Mo's bird?"
"Swish!"
The Shocking Dragon Sword in Bai Jingqing's hand was drawn out by three inches.
"Alright, alright, I didn't say anything." Qin Yi rolled his eyes, this woman was really too unwomanly.
Heiya soon brought paper and pen, spreading the paper out and drawing swiftly.
Before long, he finished.
Qin Yi took it and glanced at it; the routes and marks of the Earth Spirit Stone mine were clearly drawn. He nodded in satisfaction and put away the map.
"Can you release my bird now?" Heiya pleaded.
"No rush!" Qin Yi stepped forward and patted Heiya's shoulder, smiling mischievously, "Are there any other Earth Spirit Stone veins you might as well tell me?"
Heiya shook his head.
"You're not being honest." Qin Yi slightly squinted his eyes, "Old Mo, do it."
"There really isn't, this is the only one I was going to tell the City Lord about. I'm telling the truth, I swear... please don't harm them."
Qin Yi waved his hand, and Mo Wuji stopped.
"Heiya, you may not fully understand me. The thing I hate most is someone lying to me. If you lie to me, I guarantee not even a feather of your birds will remain."
"No, I'm really not lying to you, I swear."
Qin Yi held Heiya's hand, laughing loudly, and patted his shoulder, "You see, you took a joke seriously."
"Old Mo, let them go."
Mo Wuji released the white jade swallow in his hand, and the frightened bird flapped its wings, flying out of sight in no time.
"Heiya, from now on, we're friends. If you discover another Earth Spirit Stone vein, you can't tell anyone except me."
Heiya dashed over, lovingly looking at those stunned birds, and nodded quickly upon hearing Qin Yi's words.
"By the way, don't touch this person. Let him wake up by himself." Qin Yi pointed to Wang Zheng and told Heiya.
Heiya nodded rapidly, utterly terrified of Qin Yi, not for his own life, but for the lives of those birds. Qin Yi had him by the throat.
"Old Mo, Little White Fairy, let's go."
"Brother Qin, did you forget something?" Mo Wuji said.
Qin Yi smiled, "Are you talking about Lei Ming and the rest?"
Mo Wuji nodded.
Qin Yi laughed, "We have only a few days left, and this place is vast. These people are scattered all over; even if we know the location, there's no time to eliminate them one by one. We should look for the Earth Spirit Stone vein first."
"Brother Qin, if even one of these people gets out alive, there's a risk our secret will be exposed."
Qin Yi giggled, "Don't worry! I guarantee, except for us, no one else will come out alive."
Mo Wuji's face was filled with confusion, "Does Brother Qin have a way?"
"You don't have to worry about that; I naturally have my methods."
No matter how Mo Wuji thought about it, he couldn't figure out what method Qin Yi had to eliminate all these people.
"Brother Qin, this is not a trivial matter, it's not child's play." Mo Wuji was still uneasy.
Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Why are you so long-winded? When I say I can kill those people, I can do it."
"But..."
"But your uncle, if you keep nagging, do you believe I'll dig a hole and bury you?"
Mo Wuji: "..."
Qin Yi picked up Diudiu and said, "Let's go."
The group soared into the sky, vanishing instantly in the horizon.
Heiya watched Qin Yi and the others leave, then glanced at the unconscious Wang Zheng, pondering for a moment and muttering, "No, I have to tell the City Lord about this."
But just as he stood up, with a bang, something hit the back of his head like a club, everything went black, and he fell to the ground unconscious.
High above, Qin Yi and the others had returned.
Qin Yi raised his hand, and the Black Brick that had knocked Heiya out flew back to him.
"I knew this old guy wasn't honest, really too cunning. Luckily, I thought of it, or he would have tricked us."
Mo Wuji and the others stared speechless at Qin Yi. Who could match your cunning? Full of malice yourself, yet accusing others of being monsters.
