Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 979 979: Neglecting Proper Duties

After the meeting ended, Mo Wuji returned to the Young Master's courtyard and explained the situation to Qin Ankang along the way.
"Didn't the Young Master already resolve it? What's the issue?" Qin Ankang asked, puzzled.
Mo Wuji slightly shook his head and said, "From the look in the Elders' eyes, I can tell they're very interested in the plan to join forces to kill Brother Qin.
Ankang, Brother Qin is currently a thorn in the side of the Hidden Families. Unless this thorn is removed, all the Hidden Families will be sleepless with anxiety. So, as long as there's a method to kill him, everyone will be very interested.
Lei Bai and Nan Haoyuan, those two old foxes, coming up with this plan to seize without offering anything, proves their great ambition and cunning. Although I've exposed their purpose this time, what if they persuade their family's ancestors to take action?
I've refused their proposal, but what if Baihua Pavilion agrees? Junior Sister Bai might be a Holy Daughter, but with Pavilion Master Nie around, she doesn't have much authority. I'm worried Pavilion Master Nie might be convinced to agree to the alliance."
Qin Ankang nodded slightly, acknowledging the Young Master's concerns were not without reason.
"Ankang, we must immediately inform Brother Qin of this matter. I'll trouble you to make a trip, so he can prepare early. I can guarantee the Mo Family won't participate, but I can't guarantee others won't. Besides, even if our Mo Family and Baihua Pavilion don't join, just the combined ancestors of the Lei Family and Nan Family wouldn't be easy to deal with.
Brother Qin is as wise as a demon; he should already have thought of a solution."
Qin Ankang nodded, "I'll go right away."
"Mm, be careful on the road."
Qin Ankang slightly bowed, then turned and left.
...
Meanwhile, Qin Yi was still in seclusion, wholeheartedly trying to break through.
He encountered trouble.
Last time he broke through, he spent hundreds of Earth Spirit Stones, countless Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine, and the Spiritual Energy within a radius of hundreds of miles, barely managing to advance.
This time, he prepared a large amount of resources, but it's still far from enough.
Since breaking through to the late stage of the Golden Core, the two Golden Cores merged into one, and Qin Yi discovered that now this tiny Dual-Colored Pill is like a bottomless pit, impossible to fill.
He's already expended a significant amount of resources but doesn't even feel the slightest breakthrough opportunity.
At this moment, Qin Yi's chest slightly heaved, with two white streams of Qi like dragons intermittently flowing from his nostrils. His whole body exudes a warm glow like jade. Internally divided into two levels because now his Golden Core is half purple and half gold. Hence, his body is filled with these two energies.
The left side of his body is filled with golden rays, while the right side with purple rays, creating a very peculiar situation.
Qin Yi also couldn't understand what's happening here, but fortunately, he didn't feel any discomfort.
However, there's still the feeling of awkwardness. Out of nowhere, the two Golden Cores merged into one, making his body polarized with two forces. Will he turn into some kind of monster?
The Spirit Vein beneath Tiger Roar Mountain, with its vast Spiritual Energy, poured upward, almost entirely absorbed by Qin Yi. Not only this, the Spiritual Energy within a hundred-mile radius of Tiger Roar Mountain was drawn in, converging into a river, pouring into Qin Yi's head like an elixir.
Qin Yi had no other method now but to frantically absorb Spiritual Energy, guzzling it like a bull, hoping to fill the Golden Core within him.
In the pavilion at the mountain's peak, the sound of mahjong rattling resounded.
Azure Dragon and others were playing mahjong; ever since they learned the game, they started slacking off. No more chess, no more tea, just playing mahjong every day. They're worse than ordinary old men and women who dance in public squares.
"Every time this kid breaks through, he causes such a commotion. Anyone who doesn't know would think we have a Body Integration Realm expert at Tiger Roar Mountain." Xuanwu glanced outside and remarked with a smile.
Vermilion Bird chuckled, "What does the Body Integration Realm count for? Given Qin Yi's growth rate, he's destined to be a person standing at the peak in the future."
"Don't praise him too much, this kid can't handle compliments. Compliment him, and his ego will skyrocket." Xuanwu laughed.
White Tiger grumbled, "This kid is truly a demon, but even a breakthrough from a Body Integration Realm expert wouldn't cause such a ruckus."
"If he weren't a demon, would the Old Dragon have chosen him? After all, the Old Dragon spent decades of cultivation and lifespan deducing the Savior. Given this spectacle, I think it's still not enough." Xuanwu played a one-stripe tile, casually commenting.
Azure Dragon sighed, "It's truly hard for him."
"What's hard for him?" Xuanwu rolled his eyes, "I've lost several Spirit Grass, and I haven't even complained."
Azure Dragon gave him an annoyed look, "We thought we could protect him, but our cultivation is too weak. The rest of the road he has to walk on his own."
"You're just whining for no reason, call it a test. This brat often says, the best cultivation is through combat. If he lived under our protection, wouldn't he be just a greenhouse flower, never maturing into anything great."
White Tiger scoffed, "Can you protect him even if you want to? Mono-a-mono, can you really say you're Qin Yi's match? Just admit you're chickening out."
"Tiger, why does your mouth jab like that? Nothing better to do than attack me? Look at me, three-fold house, I'll have you lose your briefs."
"You're such a pervert, why do you want my briefs?"
"Can't I use them as wipes?"
"You're so broke you can't afford toilet paper?"
Vermilion Bird, face full of speechlessness, "I say, you two old guys with no respect, could you pay a little attention to your identity? At least you're called Guardian Gods; you're almost as bad as those rogue old men out there."
Xuanwu curled his lips, "What Guardian God? People call us Guardian Gods out of respect; we know what we are. Hahaha..."
Xuanwu suddenly laughed out loud, his face full of smugness, holding his tiles, "Self-draw, dragon complete; I'll win back what I've lost, and you'll lose everything."
"Bang!"
Xuanwu slapped a seven-stripe tile onto the table with a victorious flourish.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the stone table collapsed inexplicably, spilling mahjong tiles everywhere.
Xuanwu was dumbfounded on the spot, his smile froze, looking particularly comical.
Vermilion Bird remarked annoyed, "Why do you have to make such a big spectacle when you self-draw?"
Xuanwu was utterly confused, he hadn't exerted himself; why did the table suddenly collapse?
"Forget it, quickly return my Spirit Grass that I won from you, and all of you have lost to me. I'm rich, I'm rich..." Xuanwu laughed with snot bubbles.
Azure Dragon calmly said, "And why should we give you Spirit Grass?"
"You lost, of course you have to give them to me. I self-drew a full dragon."
White Tiger scoffed, "All I can see is the Old Dragon, where's your full dragon self-draw?"
Xuanwu froze, his eyes instantly widening, "Are you, are you trying to cheat?"
Azure Dragon laughed, "Who's cheating? You said you self-drew a full dragon, but we didn't see anything. You expect us to give you Spirit Grass just because you say so?"
