Chapter 792: Chapter 792

"Little Bai Fairy, you and Mo Tianhao are known as the strongest among the younger generation of the Five Great Families. Did you exchange your cultivation for brains?"

Qin Yi's face was full of disdain. This is truly unbelievable. A task that could be delayed for only half an hour, and you're thinking of digging a tunnel to escape?

"We can leave in a little over ten minutes. If you manage to dig your way out in that time, I'll bow to you three times."

Bai Jingqing's little face turned livid with anger, her teeth grinding audibly.

"I suddenly admire my wife so much. She alone manages a multi-billion-dollar corporation with ease. Yet some people carry the title of genius and do foolish things. How can some people be so different?"

The Shocking Dragon Sword in Bai Jingqing's hand was drawn a few inches.

Qin Yi pouted, "Is drawing your sword all you're good at? Relying on brute force makes you a mere brute. Sometimes brains are more important than brawn."

After being sarcastically battered by Qin Yi, Bai Jingqing's eyes turned red with fury.

"Brother Qin, please, say a bit less." Mo Wuji smiled wryly.

"Junior sister Bai, don't be angry. Let's leave this to Brother Qin."

Qin Yi shook his head, thoroughly impressed by Bai Jingqing's intelligence.

"Junior sister Bai, sit down, have a drink, and don't be mad."

The three women of Zi Yuan also comforted Bai Jingqing.

Bai Jingqing glared fiercely at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi shrugged indifferently. If you don't knock some sense into this woman, she'll think she can ascend to heaven.

After nearly twenty minutes, Qin Yi stood up, grinning, and said, "Everyone get ready, we're about to go out.

Old Mo, before leaving, shouldn't we say goodbye to Old Wang and the others so that we seem more polite?"

Mo Wuji laughed, "We should indeed say goodbye."

The two approached the window. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

Wang Zheng saw Mo Wuji and stepped forward, "Young Master Mo, where's Qin Yi?"

Mo Wuji looked strangely at Qin Yi beside him.

"Old Wang, I consider you like a blood brother. After all, we've had our interactions. I'm standing right here, and you don't recognize me?

Indeed, the greatest distance in the world isn't the ends of the earth; it's me standing in front of you and you not recognizing me. It truly breaks my heart."

Wang Zheng and Lin Zhengnan's eyes bulged, staring dumbfoundedly at the 'hostage' beside Mo Wuji.

"That's Qin Yi's voice," Wang Zheng exclaimed.

Lin Zhengnan asked, "You're Qin Yi?"

"Absolutely," Qin Yi laughed, "What do you think? How's my disguise?"

Lin Zhengnan and Wang Zheng, once they returned to their senses, their faces turned steely, almost twisting their noses in anger. There wasn't any hostage; it was all orchestrated by Qin Yi.

Qin Yi's face was full of mockery, "Old Lin, Old Wang, your expressions don't look so good. Didn't sleep well? Hurry back and get some rest."

"Qin Yi?" Lin Zhengnan asked through gritted teeth, trying to remain composed.

"Hey, I'm here. Need something?"

Lin Zhengnan's mouth twitched, "You could've kept deceiving us, so why reveal your identity?"

"I believe friends should be honest with each other. I'm always forthright, and since you didn't catch on, I had to tell you willingly. Otherwise, how else would I prove I'm smarter than you?"

Lin Zhengnan coldly said, "Do you realize revealing your identity will bring consequences to you all?"

"What consequences?" Qin Yi asked, smiling.

"Qin Yi, return the Earth Spirit Stone, and I'll pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, I'll have to order people to break in."

Qin Yi looked puzzled, "What Earth Spirit Stone?"

"Stop playing dumb. How dare you deceive me?"

Qin Yi mockingly replied, "Old Lin, don't be so petty! That mine vein can yield ten thousand Earth Spirit Stones. I only took a thousand; that's already a friendship price."

"Too lazy to argue with a little fox like you. If you don't return the Earth Spirit Stone, I'll have to order your capture.

I know your cultivation is strong, but I've laid out an inescapable trap. Even if you escape, your friends won't, right?

Of course, if you surrender, I'll forgive and forget, and even buy you some bean curd dessert."

Qin Yi and Mo Wuji exchanged a glance, bursting into laughter.

"Old Lin, can you be any more stingy? A thousand Earth Spirit Stones for a bowl of bean curd dessert. Are you the fool, or am I?

Let's make a bet. I bet you can't catch us."

Lin Zhengnan sneered, "You're that confident? My cultivation may not be high, but holding you off won't be a problem. Your friends can't withstand my men."

Mo Wuji checked his pocket watch, "Brother Qin, in just over ten seconds, the time will arrive."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, looking down at Lin Zhengnan, his gaze full of mischief and teasing, and said:

"It's not about blocking or not; we've only got a month here. Once the time's up, we'll be teleported out. The timing is perfect, wouldn't you say?"

Lin Zhengnan's face changed.

Qin Yi waved his hand, "Old Lin, I'll miss you. Bye now."

Lin Zhengnan looked tense, staring intently at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi glanced at Mo Wuji, "The time should be up, right?"

Mo Wuji checked the time, his expression changing slightly, whispered, "Brother Qin, it's been over ten seconds."

Qin Yi's expression also changed, "What's going on?"

"I don't know. We were supposed to be teleported out at exactly midnight, but it's already been half a minute."

"Could there be a delay? Or is your watch off?"

Mo Wuji shook his head, "This watch was custom-made for my father by my mother back in the day; it's precise to the millisecond."

Qin Yi's mouth twitched, his face stiffening a bit.

"Old Lin, hang on a moment. I've got something for you."

Qin Yi casually told a lie, pulling Mo Wuji back.

"Did we get the date wrong?" Qin Yi asked with a wry smile.

Mo Wuji shook his head, "We couldn't have gotten it wrong. I've been counting since we arrived."

"We should've already been teleported out by now. Why isn't there any reaction?" Bai Jingqing was also anxious.

Mo Wuji smiled wryly, "Let's wait a bit longer. Maybe there's, like Brother Qin said, a time delay."

"What's going on here?" Qin Yi was on the verge of tears. Is this what they mean by 'laughing too soon and crying later'?

"Brother Qin, you have to keep Lin Zhengnan occupied first and buy us some time."

Qin Yi chuckled wryly, composed himself, went to the window, and looked down at Lin Zhengnan, smiling, "Old Lin, wait a minute, I've got a gift for you before I leave."

"What gift?" Lin Zhengnan eyed Qin Yi suspiciously, "You little fox, what trick are you up to now?"

"Old Lin, can you handle this? A mere thousand Earth Spirit Stones makes you doubt my character? What about the trust between people?

Rest assured, the gift I'm giving you is worth much more than ten thousand Earth Spirit Stones."

Lin Zhengnan sneered, "You're talking to me about character? Do you even have any of that?"
