Live-in Son-in-law

"Young Master, what are you talking about? Quickly get up."

Qin Ankang hurried over to help Mo Wuji up, inadvertently noticing that his Young Master's back was soaked through.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Qin Ankang said, "I might have gone it alone correctly; perhaps Qin Yi will help us."

"Did he agree?"

"No, but he told me to wait for news," Mo Wuji grinned, "For someone like Qin Yi, if he tells me to wait for news, it means I have a fifty percent chance of success."

Qin Ankang opened his mouth, but seeing the smile on Mo Wuji's face, he swallowed the words back down. His Young Master has had some difficult years; hopefully, Qin Yi can help him out?

...

...

On the other side, Qin Yi returned to the Duan Family, explaining Mo Wuji's situation to everyone from start to finish.

"So, it seems this Mo Wuji is quite pitiful," Qin Wan'er, gentle and kind, felt quite sympathetic after hearing Mo Wuji's story.

"I think you should help him," Lin Hongzhuang said.

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "What do you know... yo-yo."

"Do you have any compassion at all? Aren't you supposed to save the world? What's wrong with helping Mo Wuji?" Lin Hongzhuang retorted.

Qin Yi grinned, "Why don't you go?"

Lin Hongzhuang: "..."

"If I had your skills, I would've gone already."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, full of disdain, "Then shut up."

"You..."

"Linlin, Qin Yi hasn't agreed; surely he has his reasons. Don't rush, let him finish speaking," someone interjected.

Lin Hongzhuang muttered, "He just has no compassion."

"Small-chested, no brains," Qin Yi couldn't help but mock.

"Alright, just tell us, what is your plan?" Xia Yanbing smiled wryly; every time Qin Yi and Lin Hongzhuang are together, they can't resist a bit of banter.

Qin Yi said, "I've agreed."

Xia Yanbing was slightly stunned, "Do you need to consider it?"

"Consider what? Actually, when Mo Wuji asked for my help, I had already agreed."

Everyone looked at Qin Yi, puzzled.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "These hidden families are stagnant and extremely repulsive to outsiders, a veritable fortress."

"It's unrealistic to deal with such hidden families from the outside, so you have to take action from within. Mo Wuji's request just gave me such an opportunity; how could I let it slip by?"

"You want to use Mo Wuji?" Xia Yanbing asked.

Qin Yi shook his head, "I don't know him well yet. On the surface, he seems fine. But people are inscrutable. If I help him and he truly follows me, I'll keep the Mo Family. If he's just using me, I'll have no choice but to eliminate him."

"You might not know, but if this Mo Wuji is against me, he might turn out to be the most fearsome opponent I've ever faced."

Xia Yanbing nodded in agreement, "With such a background, surviving in a den like the Mo Family isn't simple. Moreover, he can read people and be patient; he could indeed be a formidable enemy."

"That's why I'll help him," Qin Yi's eyes turned cold, "Of course, I hope what he said today is sincere. If he's deceiving me, I'll have to eliminate him."

"This person's mind is so sinister; be careful not to be caught off guard and schemed against," Yun Mengyao languidly advised.

Qin Yi chuckled, "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is powerless. I can take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate these hidden great families."

"Husband, be careful."

"Don't worry, Mo Wuji is smart, but he has a fatal flaw."

"What flaw?" Xia Yanbing asked.

"Arrogance," Qin Yi smiled somewhat sinisterly, "If not for arrogance, he wouldn't have tried to guess my mind to my face today. It's his strength, but also his greatest weakness. It's not hard to deal with overly arrogant people; find their weakness, and they collapse with one strike."

"I think you're quite similar to him. Speaking of arrogance, there's probably no one in this world more arrogant than you, is there?" Lin Hongzhuang teased.

"I call it confidence, confidence in one's own strength," Qin Yi retorted unamusedly.

"Right, you're not arrogant, just narcissistic, a narcissist."

Qin Yi: "..."

Forget it; this woman's menopause came early; too lazy to argue with her.

"Yiren, you met Mo Wuji today; what do you think of him?" Xia Yanbing asked with a smile.

Qin Yi taunted, "Her? She was just focused on eating, praising Mo Wuji like a blooming flower, even under the pretense of romance to get Mo Wuji to cook for her."

"But Mo Wuji's cooking is really delicious," Liu Yiren said heartlessly.

Everyone was speechless.

"I mean, what do you think of Mo Wuji as a person?" Xia Yanbing laughed.

Liu Yiren thought for a moment, "He's handsome, gentle, cooks delicious food, a good person."

Everyone: "..."

"Is being handsome equal to being a good person? There are plenty of bad people who look good," Lin Hongzhuang sneered, not forgetting to glance at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi's mouth twitched, this woman is getting better at insinuating.

Liu Yiren earnestly said, "But I think, to make food taste good, you must put your heart into it. Someone who can make delicious, exquisite food surely puts their emotions into it. Someone with such a rich emotional capacity, how could they be a bad person?"

Everyone was stunned.

Indeed, Liu Yiren had a point.

If someone was cold and heartless, why would they waste their emotions on such trivial matters as cooking?

"Additionally, when he talked about his parents, I saw tears in his eyes. Filial piety is the foremost virtue; someone who is filial can't be too bad, right?" Liu Yiren said seriously.

"I think Yiren makes some sense," Xia Yanbing said.

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "These are all too one-sided; we shouldn't generalize. I won't judge this person for now. We'll observe and talk later."

"Disgusting, not even sparing men," Lin Hongzhuang glanced at Qin Yi with disdain.

"Are you sick? What do you mean I wouldn't even spare men?"

"Didn't you just say 'talk later,' aren't you thinking of... "

"I think of your sister; can you not put dirty things in your head?" Qin Yi was utterly speechless; this woman suddenly took that direction, and before he even started, Lin Hongzhuang was already on the highway.

Everyone was speechless, staring at Lin Hongzhuang, utterly amazed.

"Where's Old Azure Dragon?" Qin Yi suddenly asked. To deal with the hidden families, he needed Azure Dragon's opinion.

"I just saw Grandpa Azure Dragon fishing by the Lotus Pond," Qin Wan'er said.

Qin Yi laughed, "This old man really came here to vacation."

"You all talk; I'll go find him."

The Duan Family's Lotus Pond is vast, entirely like a small lake.

Azure Dragon was fishing in the shade.

Plop!

A stone dropped into the water, splashing and sending ripples, scaring away the fish about to bite.
