Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 966 966: Coming Clean

Nie Zhujun and the others' faces changed dramatically.
"Jingqing, what on earth is going on?"
Bai Jingqing hesitated for a moment. To prevent the Pavilion Master and the others from joining forces to besiege Qin Yi, she decided to tell the truth.
Most importantly, she understood Qin Yi; he was a vengeful person, and once he became an enemy, there was no turning back.
Moreover, Qin Yi's means and wisdom made her feel that Baihua Pavilion would have no chance of winning if they went against him, especially since the Su and Fang families were already wiped out.
Bai Jingqing recounted everything that had happened in the Secret Realm.
Nie Zhujun and the two others were dumbfounded, completely shocked.
It turned out that their disciple and Mo Wuji had been involved with Qin Yi for a long time, and they hadn't the slightest idea.
Qin Yi had infiltrated the Hidden Family without a sound, which was terrifying.
It took the three a long time to recover their senses.
"So, it was all a ploy when you and Mo Wuji were allegedly captured by the Fang Family, right? It was all part of Qin Yi's plan?"
Knowing the relationship between Qin Yi, Bai Jingqing, and Mo Wuji, everything suddenly made sense.
Bai Jingqing said with guilt, "Elder, I'm sorry."
The three looked at each other, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Nie Zhujun was silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "Jingqing, do you really trust Qin Yi?"
Bai Jingqing nodded, "Pavilion Master, Elder, Qin Yi is truly a trustworthy person. Besides, we can only be friends with him, not enemies; I really have Baihua Pavilion's best interests at heart."
"Are you sure he's not using you? Destroying the Lei, Fang, and Nan families, then turning against our Baihe Pavilion and the Mo Family?" Chen Qingxia was full of doubt.
"No, Qin Yi does use us to some extent, but he's a man of his word. Otherwise, he would've killed me in the Secret Realm, as I wasn't of much use to him. Without his protection, we would've died long ago.
Pavilion Master, Elder, please trust me. Do not become enemies with Qin Yi—he is truly dangerous, and the consequences would be unimaginable."
Nie Zhujun smiled bitterly, "Of course I know he's a dangerous man."
Anyone who can destroy the Su and Fang families is not to be taken lightly, right?
"But is Qin Yi really trustworthy?" Chen Qingxia questioned.
"Elder, Qin Yi is truly trustworthy."
Nie Zhujun was silent for a while, "Fine, we'll abandon the alliance this time. But Jingqing, find a chance for me to meet Qin Yi."
Bai Jingqing hesitated, then quickly nodded.
Nie Zhujun said sternly, "This matter stays between us. If outsiders learn of it, Baihua Pavilion will become a target, and Mo Wuji will also be in mortal danger."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The group emerged from the shadows to find many people already heading into Shilin Mountain.
Shilin Mountain, with its overlapping hills, stretches endlessly. It's called Shilin Mountain because of the many natural stone pillars—some towering into the clouds, others extraordinarily thick—a masterpiece of nature, not manmade.
"Let's go in too."
Nie Zhujun and the others walked inside.
The Shilin Mountain was vast, and it took several hours of walking before the group arrived at the spot.
"Could this be the place?" someone asked.
Because the information came from a major power, and though they drew a map, Shilin Mountain was so large that it only provided a general area.
The funniest thing was that the map was hastily drawn and sold for a million each—a sky-high price.
But compared to the Blood Red Dragon Spirit, a million was nothing, and many people still bought it, allowing that person to make a fortune.
Actually, those who knew Qin Yi would immediately recognize this as one of his familiar scams.
Thousands of people wandered in circles in Shilin Mountain.
Since no one could accurately pinpoint the location of the ancient ruins, some said it was here; others suggested there.
It's rumored that every night, the ancient ruins emit a crimson glow, which led people to confirm the presence of the Blood Red Dragon Spirit within.
So, everyone planned to wait until nightfall.
Lei Dang came to find Nie Zhujun.
"Master Nie, has there been any sign of Qin Yi?"
Nie Zhujun remained expressionless, indifferently saying, "If Qin Yi were to come, it wouldn't be in a grand way. It's not that easy to discover him."
Lei Dang nodded slightly, "If Master Nie finds him, notify us immediately. Once Qin Yi shows up, he must be eradicated. Otherwise, the Hidden Family will never know peace."
Nie Zhujun nodded slightly.
Lei Dang then walked toward the Mo Family's direction.
"I hope Qin Yi doesn't show up," Bai Jingqing muttered.
Just then, a person shrouded in a black robe walked by her and suddenly spoke in Breathing Control, "Hey, young lady, smile for your master?"
Bai Jingqing was stunned, because with the powerful presence of Nie Zhujun and the others, no one dared to approach. Yet here was someone not only approaching but also having the audacity to tease her, which was incredibly bold.
Nie Zhujun and the others were incredulous; they didn't expect anyone to come forward and tease Bai Jingqing, causing their faces to darken immediately.
"Not smiling, huh? Then I'll make you smile."
Bai Jingqing's eyebrows furrowed; this person's guts were enormous.
Yet the entire person was enveloped in the black robe, making it impossible to see his face or expressions.
"Are you courting death?" Chen Qingxia scolded sternly.
The black-robed person instinctively stepped back a few paces, patting his chest, feigning fear.
But then, he turned to Bai Jingqing and said, "Is this fairy married? I have a brother, exceptionally handsome and skilled in everything from the lute to chess and painting, especially cooking. If you are still single, I could introduce you to him?"
"Scoundrel, you're asking for it!" Chen Qingxia, hot-tempered, was about to draw her sword.
Bai Jingqing's eyes subtly gleamed—skilled in everything from the lute to chess and fine cooking? How similar this person seemed to Mo Wuji.
"Elder, please hold your hand."
Chen Qingxia looked at Bai Jingqing in surprise.
Bai Jingqing eyed the black-robed person, bending slightly to try to discern his face—was he the one she thought he was?
"Is this always how you look at people, my dear?" the black-robed person teased.
Bai Jingqing quietly asked, "Is that you?"
"For you to recognize me like this, impressive, Little White Fairy," he replied with a cheeky smile.
If this person wasn't Qin Yi, who could he be? Although he didn't know lip-reading, he could understand basic mouth shapes.
Nie Zhujun and the others were surprised, seeing Bai Jingqing seemed to know the person.
Bai Jingqing's expression changed slightly, glancing around to see many onlookers. Fortunately, the Mo Family stood far off and seemed unaware of their side.
Bai Jingqing was indeed strikingly conspicuous, and suddenly having a man approach naturally aroused curiosity, drawing many gazes.
Bai Jingqing lowered her voice, "Are you courting death, appearing so openly?"
