The Azure Dragon and others were shocked; they didn't expect someone daring enough to criticize even such a powerful figure.
However, upon hearing Qin Yi's words, the four felt quite comfortable inside.
The Azure Dragon pondered for a moment and said, "From what Qin Yi said, this person is a friend, not a foe, which is good. As for their background and identity, since they've used radiance to conceal their appearance, they evidently don't want to be known. We should probably avoid probing into it."
The Vermilion Bird nodded, "That's right, if this person truly is a powerful guardian protecting the Earth from the shadows, it's certainly good news for us."
The Azure Dragon advised Qin Yi, "You rascal, better not delve into this matter. The other party's cultivation is too advanced, beyond what we can comprehend. If we accidentally offend them, it won't be beneficial for us."
Qin Yi nodded; although he was full of curiosity about this person, he had to put the matter aside for the time being.
But once his cultivation reaches a certain level, he definitely wants to find out who this person really is.
He's quite a vindictive person, and since this person threatened him before, he won't just let it pass.

...
The following days, Qin Yi was constantly on edge, fearing a call from Bai Siyin.
Because whenever Bai Siyin called, it meant another swarm of Sky Demon Spiders had appeared, and these disgusting crawlers would invariably lead to the deaths of many innocent people.
But fortunately, in the following days, Bai Siyin didn't call.
That day, Qin Yi received a call from Liu Zhanyuan, saying Tiger Roar Mountain was completed, inviting him to check it out.
Actually, the construction was almost done a few days earlier, just finishing touches these days.
Qin Yi went to Tiger Roar Mountain.
Now Tiger Roar Mountain looks completely different, with a straight road leading directly into the city.
Moreover, there are two paths leading to the top of Tiger Roar Mountain: a stone staircase for walking and an asphalt road for cars.
The original trees on Tiger Roar Mountain were preserved by Liu Zhanyuan. Lush trees cover sixty percent of Tiger Roar Mountain, and Liu Zhanyuan has built small paths through the dense woods, perfect for leisurely walks.
Additionally, the mountaintop has been almost leveled, and a luxurious estate with a pool, a Lotus Pond, and expansive green fields—even usable as a football field—has been built.
The mountain originally housed a large tomb, which Liu Zhanyuan transformed into a magnificent palace.
Overall, Tiger Roar Mountain has completely become a picturesque, air-refreshing vacation resort. Anything that could be moved or rebuilt, Liu Zhanyuan thought of it, and it even has electricity.
"Mr. Qin, is there anything else that needs altering? I'll arrange for someone to do it right away."
Liu Zhanyuan followed closely behind Qin Yi, the chairman of Liu Group—an influential figure that could make Yinfeng City tremble with a stomp—always trailing Qin Yi by half a step, maintaining his respectful demeanor.
"You've thought of everything; I genuinely can't think of anything else that needs improvement," Qin Yi replied with a smile.
Liu Zhanyuan is indeed meticulous, making his work thorough and precise, leaving no faults to find.
Liu Zhanyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief; as long as Qin Yi is satisfied, that's good.
"Mr. Qin, if there's nothing else that needs change, I'll proceed to order the furniture; it can be moved in within a few days."
Qin Yi smiled, "You take care of it."
"Yes," Liu Zhanyuan responded respectfully.
That evening, Qin Yi invited Liu Zhanyuan, Zhang Wenhao, and others for a meal; just the meal alone left these four old guys gleefully snorting with joy.
A few days later, Liu Zhanyuan and his team finished setting up Tiger Roar Mountain completely, ready for move-in.
That night, Qin Yi and the Azure Dragon arrived at Tiger Roar Mountain.
Everything was arranged, but what Liu Zhanyuan and others couldn't handle was beyond the array.
Among the four guardian gods, only the Azure Dragon understood some simple arrays, so Qin Yi invited him to help.
"Old Dragon, how does this place compare to your Azure Dragon Mountain?"
The Azure Dragon didn't hesitate, "Is there even a comparison?"
Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Your Azure Dragon Mountain is certainly safe, but its environment, I won't complain about those few thatched huts—which are barely considered livable places. Look here, picturesque scenery; once I set up the arrays, making it eternally spring here, it'd practically be an Immortal Mountain."
The Azure Dragon's lips twitched, "You brat, deserve a beating, right? What thatched huts? Those are straw houses."
"Almost the same."
"Far from it."
Qin Yi chuckled awkwardly, indeed, they are quite different, one is for living, the other for... doing the business.
"What's your plan, brat?" asked the Azure Dragon.
Qin Yi chuckled, "I plan to first set up a Spirit Summoning Array to draw spiritual energy from the spirit vein at the mountain's base, then establish several Great Arrays around Tiger Roar Mountain to ensure the spiritual energy doesn't escape, making Tiger Roar Mountain eternally spring-like and always brimming with spiritual energy."
"Also, the most important part, I have asked Liu Zhanyuan to open up a large area of land on the sunny southern side."
The Azure Dragon gave him a glance, "What are you opening up such a large area for?"
"Old Dragon, we're going to be living together, you..."
"Speak human!" Azure Dragon retorted grumpily, this brat always loved talking nonsense.
Qin Yi chuckled a few times, "I mean, we're going to live together and you won't be heading back to your Azure Dragon Mountain."
"And then? What does this have to do with you opening up a large area?"
Qin Yi's eyes gleamed mischievously, "Old Dragon, I recall you have a small plot of a spiritual medicine garden on Azure Dragon Mountain. Look at this place—it has fertile soil and abundant spiritual energy—if we were to..."
"No 'ifs'," Azure Dragon rudely interrupted before Qin Yi could finish, already guessing this brat's intentions—the plot of a spiritual medicine garden.
"Old Dragon, can't you just let me finish? Interrupting others is quite impolite."
Azure Dragon remained firm, "I don't want to hear you finish."
"Hey, you're being unreasonable. The plentiful spiritual energy here would be beneficial for the growth of those spiritual medicines in your medicine garden. The spiritual energy from those medicines could enrich the spiritual energy here even more, complementing each other beautifully; what's wrong with that?" Qin Yi said, annoyed.
Azure Dragon replied coolly, "I'm afraid in the end my spiritual medicines would be nourishing someone's body instead of here."
Qin Yi's handsome face reddened slightly with anger, "Old Dragon, we've known each other for so long, and this is how you view me? It's heartbreaking; can we at least have some basic trust between people?
I ask you, in your heart, am I someone who'd deceive family?"
"Yes," Azure Dragon answered promptly.
Qin Yi: "..."
"Old Dragon, you're so petty-minded, with such a narrow view, you'll never taste four dishes and soup in this lifetime."
"One dish is enough for me," Azure Dragon replied calmly, "Besides, if you keep babbling and not start work, I'm heading back. The guys are waiting for me to play Mahjong."
Qin Yi: "..."
Goodness, this old man actually threatened him?
