My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 782 - Chapter: The Feast at Hongmen

Qin Yu had faced countless perilous situations like the proverbial Dragon’s Pool and Tiger’s Den this year.

And he had dealt with people of extreme viciousness.

A moment ago, the guard’s words "Miss Qing Yi invites you inside" made him realize that it was very likely Qing Yi had already set a trap like the infamous Banquet at Hongmen.

They wouldn’t let him see the Qin Family Head that easily with his sister in tow.

If he turned around and left now, it would spread that he was as timid as a mouse, not even daring to enter the Qin Family’s gate.

No matter what schemes or tricks Qing Yi had up her sleeve, he would break them one by one.

"Master, I understand," Qin Yu said.

Ou Changfeng nodded, moved a few inches closer to Qin Wei’er, maintaining a distance no greater than ten centimeters from her.

Unless someone were able to strike him down instantly, he would definitely retaliate.

"Alright, let’s go in!"

After Qin Yu finished speaking, he was the first to ascend the white jade steps.

Ou Changfeng spread out his perception to the fullest, ready to react at the slightest sign of trouble.

"This way, please!"

The guard led the way at the front.

After entering the main gate, rockeries with flowing waters and various pavilions and terraces could be seen everywhere, giving one a sense of stepping back in time.

After walking for a good ten minutes or more, the guard finally stopped at the entrance of a detached courtyard: "Miss Qing Yi, the guests have arrived!"

Qin Yu glanced over and saw that the courtyard gate was open, with two people sitting on stone benches, Qing Yi and An Xuanming.

Huh?

Qin Yu furrowed his brow, given his understanding of Qing Yi, she must have been eager to kill him after the embarrassment she suffered at Divine Doctor Su’s place the day before.

And yet there were no ambushes, just her and an old man skilled in medicine.

Could it be not a trap after all, but rather a deception like the Empty Fort Strategy?

Quite cunning!

"What’s the matter, don’t dare to come in?" Qing Yi said with a face as cold as frost.

"Back then, I broke through the Ye Family’s tight encirclement, your mere two people are hardly enough to scare me!" Qin Yu retorted.

By now, Qin Yu’s perception was also remarkably strong, more than enough to envelop such a small courtyard.

Indeed, other than Qing Yi and An Xuanming, he detected no one else’s presence.

"Master, it seems there’s no ambush," Ou Changfeng muttered softly.

"Hmm, let’s go in," Qin Yu said, as he led Ou Changfeng and his sister into the courtyard.

"Squeak..."

The guard closed the courtyard door from behind.

"Qin Yu, I don’t know whether to call you foolish or brave for actually daring to come to the Qin Family to court death!" Qing Yi said, no longer pretending to be civil and revealing her true disdain, which showed just how much she loathed Qin Yu.

"Are you trying to tell me that just the two of you are enough?" Qin Yu said dismissively.

However, he had already mobilized his True Qi, forming a Protective Gang Wind around him. Qing Yi wasn’t a fool either; if she dared to speak like this, she had certainly prepared herself to deal with him.

"Hmph, as sly as ever. Pretending to have your cultivation fall, it was all an act!" Qing Yi snorted coldly, realizing that she couldn’t see through Qin Yu’s cultivation level, which clearly meant that his cultivation was above her own.

"I never told you that my cultivation had fallen to Huajin. Someone intentionally spread rumors, wanting to use someone else to eliminate me. And you just happened to believe it, which only shows your own stupidity!" Qin Yu said.

Qin Yu said indifferently, then pulled his sister’s wrist before continuing, "You shouldn’t have forgotten the words I said in the East Sea’s vegetable market, did you? You owe my sister an apology!"

Originally, when my sister and I went to the market to buy seafood, we encountered Qing Yi and her entourage. Her subordinates even pushed my sister to the ground. At that time, I hadn’t broken through to Huajin, and when I tried to stand up for my sister, I was instead pressed into the pool by Qing Yi and humiliated.

Since then, I’ve remembered Qing Yi and vowed that one day, I would make her apologize to my sister.

"Good, good... I also want to see who’s the real fool, you or me!"

Qing Yi’s eyelids twitched, and she couldn’t suppress the anger in her heart.

"Boy, I’m giving you one last chance. Kneel down, call me master, and I might spare your pathetic life. If you continue to be stubborn, I won’t be polite anymore!"

An Xuanming stroked his beard, looking down on everyone around him.

"Master An, are you that good at fighting?"

Qin Yu was somewhat speechless, as he had never heard that the Shennong Sect members were good at fighting. Even if he could fight, it would probably only be at the Channel-Opening Realm level. With my current fighting strength, I wouldn’t necessarily lose to him, would I?

An Xuanming’s inexplicable confidence was both absurd and amusing to Qin Yu.

"Boy, you come from humble beginnings, and it’s commendable that you’ve come as far as you have. But before me, you’re still a frog in the well. Do you think the Shennong Sect has stood for thousands of years because of brute force alone?"

An Xuanming stroked his beard, his face full of mockery and disdain.

"Old man, just cut the crap already!"

Ou Changfeng was from The North and had a straightforward and fierce personality. Seeing An Xuanming’s pretentious act, he blurted out bluntly, "If we’re going to fight, then let’s fight! If not, get out of the way and don’t interfere with our search for the Qin Family Head."

"Hahaha... alright, another brat who doesn’t know his own limits. Today, I shall let you witness the Shennong Sect’s methods, capable of saving lives as well as taking them!"

Driven to laughter by anger, An Xuanming completely dismissed Ou Changfeng.

"Changfeng, take good care of Wei’er. I’ll handle this old man!"

Qin Yu could not be bothered to argue with An Xuanming any longer. Using fifty percent of his strength, he threw a punch at An Xuanming.

The real cannot be faked and the fake cannot be real; it was time to see what remarkable methods he truly possessed.

"Hmph..."

As Qin Yu made his move, Qing Yi and An Xuanming didn’t show much reaction, just crossing their arms with a look of confidence.

Huh?

Just as Qin Yu had fully gathered his power, he was shocked to find that his True Qi wouldn’t burst forth and was rapidly weakening.

"Changfeng, take Wei’er and leave!"

Qin Yu’s expression changed as he realized he was likely poisoned. Normally, with his physique, plus the Origin True Qi from Li Jiutian, most poisons couldn’t harm him.

Yet, he was still poisoned, indicating that this old man An Xuanming indeed had some tricks up his sleeve.

Otherwise, where did his confidence and strength come from to just sit there motionless?

"Alright..."

Ou Changfeng pulled Qin Wei’er next to him and turned to leave.

Thump...

But after taking only a step, he half-knelt down, his face full of shock, "Master, I can’t control my body!"

"Hahaha... Young man, when I called you a frog in the well just now, you might not have been convinced. Do you recognize my strength now?"

An Xuanming stroked his beard and once again burst into loud laughter.

"Qin Yu, we know you’re formidable and that you have a master by your side, but did you really think we’d let you in without any preparation?"

Qing Yi also sneered coldly.

"Staggering..."

Qin Wei’er also held her forehead, shaking and unable to stand steady, clearly also poisoned.

"Damn, that’s really despicable!"

Qin Yu had considered that Qing Yi and her people might invite a strong master or set up an ambush with heavy troops, but he had never considered the possibility of being poisoned. Because he, too, practiced medicine and knew how to use poison—it was one of his strengths.

Yet it was precisely in his area of strength that he had been tripped up!
