Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Pitfalls Everywhere

In the following days, Xia Yanbing was so busy that she barely touched the ground, but it was clear she was enjoying herself.

Qin Yi was also pleased, because Xia Yujiang now owed two hundred million. The house outside was sold, his lover was gone, and he was arguing with Dong Jinsu at home every day.

Although the house was often chaotic, Dong Jinsu temporarily had no time to bother Qin Yi, focusing her criticism on Xia Yujiang, ridiculing him whenever she thought of it, scolding him harshly.

"Mr. Qin, how do you think we should handle Wang Kai?" Zhang Shun called to inquire one day.

Qin Yi paused, almost forgetting about this guy. Wang Kai was the big brother who had sent people to cause trouble at the construction site. Recently, he had been scared out of his wits by various accidents Zhang Shun had orchestrated.

"Mr. Qin, Wang Kai has been getting close to Jin Zeyang from the Jin Family lately."

"Who is Jin Zeyang?" Qin Yi asked curiously.

"He’s Jin Wenchang’s second son, similar to our family’s situation. He manages the Jin Family’s underground forces."

Qin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Go teach Wang Kai a lesson. Didn’t he say the construction site was affecting his business? Then let’s make sure his business is completely shut down."

"Yes, I understand Mr. Qin’s instructions!"

Qin Yi responded with a faint "Hmm."

Just as he hung up the phone, it started ringing again.

Seeing the caller ID, Qin Yi instantly became furious... Lan Jiaojiao, you’re daring to show up again?

"Hello?" Qin Yi answered the call.

"Qin Yi, Uncle Chen told me you’ve been looking for me for days. I’ve been busy abroad and forgot to turn on my phone..."

"Cut the crap, where are you now?"

"Why so angry? Who pissed you off? I’m at Dio Cafe. Want to join for a coffee?"

"Wait for me!"

Qin Yi, fuming with rage, rushed to Dio Cafe, only to see Lan Jiaojiao savoring her coffee leisurely, causing his anger to flare up.

"You’re here, I’ve already ordered the coffee you like, Irish."

Qin Yi glared at her fiercely, but suddenly his eyes slightly narrowed, "You’ve cultivated Qi?"

"Sharp eyes, knew I couldn’t hide it from you. Just entered the early stage of Qi Cultivation. You’re an expert, please give me guidance."

Qin Yi sneered, "Did you refine the Blood Immortal Gourd, change your bloodline, and that’s how you cultivated Qi?"

"Impressive, my grandpa said you’re a rarity in the world, a Demoted Immortal from the heavens, you’re..."

"Like hell I am!" Qin Yi interrupted Lan Jiaojiao, "Give me back the Blood Immortal Gourd."

Lan Jiaojiao looked at Qin Yi in surprise, "Why should I return it to you? That Blood Immortal Gourd was originally our Lan Family’s. I appreciate you discovering the gourd, but I also paid a million."

"..." Qin Yi couldn’t argue with that, the Blood Immortal Gourd did indeed belong to the Lan Family.

However, Qin Yi still felt unwilling. That was the Blood Immortal Gourd, after all.

"The Blood Immortal Gourd belonged to Lan Tianji. I killed Lan Tianji, so the gourd should be mine."

Lan Jiaojiao said, "Qin Yi, you’re a Demoted Immortal from the heavens. You should have at least some grace. The Blood Immortal Gourd was in your hands, but you handed it to me yourself. It shows you didn’t care for such mundane items."

"I..." Qin Yi felt the urge to curse, regretting his moment of foolishness for falling for the small profit and suffering a big loss without realizing that thing was the Blood Immortal Gourd.

If he had known, no way would he have given it back.

"Qin Yi, with your great skills, you wouldn’t be coveting our family’s Blood Immortal Gourd, would you?" Lan Jiaojiao looked at Qin Yi with her gemstone-like innocent eyes.

"..."

"But even if you want the Blood Immortal Gourd, you shouldn’t have given it to me. The Gourd is now refined by me, even if you want it, it’s gone."

Qin Yi was left speechless.

Lan Jiaojiao stood up, clasped her hands and bowed, "I, Lan Jiaojiao, thank Qin the Great Immortal for allowing me to successfully cultivate Qi. I am deeply grateful."

"You, stop putting me on a pedestal." Qin Yi regretted, why did he accept that million back then?

"This isn’t flattery. If it weren’t for you discovering the Blood Immortal Gourd, how could I possibly cultivate Qi? So, my grandpa insisted I personally thank you."

Qin Yi was filled with resentment. What did they call taking advantage of others while pretending to be grateful? That’s it.

But Qin Yi knew well that the Blood Immortal Gourd couldn’t be retrieved now. He couldn’t exactly kill Lan Jiaojiao, right?

However, if there was benefit to be gained, he should still take it.

"Your grandpa just wants you to thank me verbally?"

Lan Jiaojiao laughed, "I would love to offer myself to you, but you don’t fancy me. You’re deeply devoted to your wife and can’t see any other woman. I can only thank you this way."

"Stop playing word games with me. A long speech is less useful than something tangible," Qin Yi replied unhappily.

Lan Jiaojiao’s face turned serious, "A million, and we never bring this up again."

"Haha, you change your face faster than turning a page, huh?"

"Just say whether you agree or not?"

Qin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Fine, a million it is, hand over the money."

Lan Jiaojiao directly took out two checks and handed one to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was bewildered, "Why are there two checks?"

"Originally prepared two, but you only wanted one." Lan Jiaojiao smiled and put away the other check.

Qin Yi froze for a moment, "Miss Lan, taking something back after showing it isn’t nice. Give me that one too."

"Why should I? It’s a million," Lan Jiaojiao said.

Qin Yi gritted his teeth, this woman was full of tricks everywhere.

"Miss Lan, someone who successfully cultivates Qi is one in a million. If I hadn’t discovered the Blood Immortal Gourd, you wouldn’t have cultivated anything. Isn’t a million a bit stingy? If word gets out, it wouldn’t be good for your Lan Family’s reputation."

Lan Jiaojiao looked at Qin Yi with a smile, "You’re really considerate about our Lan Family. You can have the million, but you must agree to one condition of mine."

Qin Yi looked at her cautiously, what little trick was this woman planning now?

"Don’t worry, my condition is simple."

"Let’s hear it."

"If I encounter any difficulties in my cultivation in the future, you must guide me."

Qin Yi was relieved. "Fine, I agree! But you must also agree to one condition of mine."

"You’re quite calculating, aren’t you? A grown man, an expert? So meticulous. State your condition."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Aren’t you the one benefiting here?"

"Alright, alright, quickly state your condition?"

"Find an opportunity, my wife and sister want to thank you for curing me, go meet them."

Lan Jiaojiao was surprised, "When did I cure you?"

Qin Yi smiled wryly and explained the reason.

After hearing it, Lan Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, "I really don’t know what you’re up to, so secretive. Even hiding it from your own wife and sister. Fine, you arrange it and let me know in advance."
