Live-in Son-in-law

After Qin Ankang left, Duan Xinyuan sighed, "This person is quite cautious, understands the rules, and knows when to advance or retreat."

"I actually have some interest in this Mo Wuji. To have such subordinates, Mo Wuji cannot be too bad himself. As the saying goes, a single soldier does not make a great army, but one capable commander does. You can judge a person's ability by looking at their subordinates." Qin Yi said with interest.

Duan Xinyuan nodded slightly, "In comparison, Nan Zaitian's subordinates are much worse."

"That old man named Gao isn't incapable; he's just too arrogant. This might be related to his background, having been accustomed to being flattered. Didn't you notice his identity? He's the housekeeper of the Nan Family. Without some skills, how could he hold such a position? Only those trusted by the family head of the Nan Family can become housekeepers."

"Nan Zaitian is perhaps more favored by the family head of the Nan Family than Nan ZaiXu, otherwise the housekeeper of the Nan Family wouldn't side with Nan Zaitian."

"In any case, the disciples of these influential families are cultivated from a young age. Although they live more privileged lives than ordinary people, their living environment is much harsher. After all, the number of people eyeing the position of family head is more than just one or two. The position of family head in these great families is always given to the best, so the relations among family members are less than those of enemies."

Duan Xinyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Are you saying that whether it's Nan Zaitian or Mo Wuji, they might not be here to seek revenge on you?"

"The saying 'The most ruthless is the imperial family' also applies to these great families. Perhaps my killing of Nan ZaiXu and Mo Buwen is not necessarily a bad thing for their competing cousins. They might secretly rejoice for having one less competitor." Qin Yi said with a smile.

"There's no absolute certainty. By telling Qin Ankang the meeting location in advance, what if they set up an ambush at the Yunmiao Tea House beforehand? You were too careless this time." Duan Xinyuan worried about me.

Qin Yi sneered, "Don't worry, he doesn't dare. If they really were to ambush me, they wouldn't choose Yinfeng City. Besides, to kill me, how many strongmen would they need? If a large number of strongmen sneaked into Yinfeng City, how could you and I possibly not know?"

"Didn't we also not know when Mo Wuji appeared in Yinfeng City?"

Qin Yi smiled, "That's precisely why I told Qin Ankang the meeting location in advance."

"What do you mean?" Duan Xinyuan asked, puzzled.

"Although we haven't met, through Qin Kang'an, it can be seen that Mo Wuji is definitely a smart person. By telling him the meeting location in advance, he might think that the Yunmiao Wine House is under my control, which is why I chose this place."

"Moreover, judging from Qin Ankang's demeanor, it can also be seen that Mo Wuji is a cautious person. Such people typically plan before they act, and if they're unsure, they certainly won't take the risk. The more they think, the more indecisive they become."

"I'm confident that he won't quickly ascertain if the Yunmiao Tea House is my territory, so he absolutely doesn't dare to act rashly. Besides, trying to kill me isn't that easy. Rest assured."

Duan Xinyuan said, "Do you want me to place some people in the Yunmiao Tea House in advance?"

"No need; doing so would make us look petty. It's fine, relax."

...

...

The next morning.

Qin Yi leisurely arrived at the Yunmiao Tea House alone.

Qin Ankang was already waiting at the door to greet him.

"Young Master Qin." Upon seeing Qin Yi, Qin Ankang remained respectful, bowing and saluting.

Qin Yi nodded slightly and smiled, "Has your young master arrived?"

"The Young Master is already waiting for Young Master Qin. Please follow me." Qin Ankang replied.

Qin Yi nodded and followed Qin Ankang to the door of a private room.

Qin Ankang opened the door and invited Qin Yi inside.

Upon entering, Qin Yi saw a young man in a white suit with his back to him, studying the writings on the wall.

Hearing the sound, the young man turned around.

Qin Yi, with a smile, observed the person: about six feet tall, with a well-built physique, handsome looks, meticulously styled hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and a suit without even a wrinkle, indicating that the person was very meticulous.

"Brother Qin, I am Mo Wuji, I apologize for not welcoming you sooner and hope for your forgiveness."

Qin Yi smiled and said, "I was wondering what kind of person Young Master Mo is, and your appearance really surprised me. If I didn't know your identity, I would have thought you were someone like a painter."

Mo Wuji smiled warmly, "At home, I can be a bit informal, but meeting Brother Qin requires formality. Honestly, I rarely dress this formally; it feels a bit uncomfortable."

Qin Yi chuckled, thinking he really is quite articulate.

"I saw you were engrossed in the words on the wall just now, so it seems Young Master Mo truly has a fondness for calligraphy and literature." Qin Yi remarked.

"Brother Qin, you jest. It's just feigning elegance. I just found the words quite interesting, so I looked at them a bit longer." Mo Wuji replied.

Qin Yi glanced at the wall where Mo Wuji had been looking: "This can also calm the mind."

"I truly don't see what's so profound about this phrase." Qin Yi commented.

Mo Wuji laughed, "Brother Qin, please take a look. This phrase can be read back and forth. 'This can also calm the mind' and 'It can also calm the mind, calm the mind it can.' It seems the owner here put a lot of thought into the decoration and arrangement, definitely someone with high literary cultivation. I'm thinking of meeting them later to make a friend."

Qin Yi's gaze flickered momentarily. How clever of Mo Wuji, setting a trap for himself to fall into, and he really did fall into it.

Mo Wuji was saying so much just to find out who was behind this tea house. His guess was right; Mo Wuji couldn't determine whether the tea house's owner was Qin Yi, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Young Master Mo saying that makes the phrase indeed quite interesting. I've been to this Yunmiao Wine House several times and have never noticed it. Young Master Mo is indeed well-versed."

Damn it, trying to get something out of me? No way.

Mo Wuji's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Qin Yi mentioned he had been here a few times but didn't offer to introduce the wine house's owner, so Mo Wuji couldn't be sure if Qin Yi was the owner.

Actually, Qin Yi and Mo Wuji were like two cunning foxes meeting each other.

Qin Yi's pretense was precisely to keep Mo Wuji uncertain about whether he was the owner of this wine house, making him hesitate to act rashly.

And Mo Wuji wasn't intending to harm Qin Yi but was worried that Qin Yi might harm him. After all, Qin Yi didn't have a good reputation, known to be ruthless. If this was Qin Yi's territory, there might be an ambush waiting for him.

However, Mo Wuji was frustrated that Qin Yi had said so much without saying anything useful, truly a devious character.

"Brother Qin, please have a seat."

"Please."

The two of them walked to the uniquely styled tea table and sat across from each other.

"Then I won't disturb Young Master Qin and the Young Master from talking. I'll be waiting outside." Qin Ankang wisely stepped out to guard the door. In truth, it wasn't necessary for him to step out. He did so just as a precaution, in case Qin Yi set an ambush, he could discover it first and alert Mo Wuji.
