Chapter 197: Chapter 197 How to Make a Decision

Fortunately, there was no further news about the Earth Demons before dawn; it seems there were only two.

While having breakfast, Lin Hongzhuang sniffed the air a few times and suddenly said, "Do you smell something funny?"

Xia Yanbing nodded slightly; she had already noticed it but felt it was inappropriate to mention it at the dining table.

Qin Yi looked at Zhou Wenyun with a playful gaze.

Zhou Wenyun looked embarrassed, "I couldn’t help it. I slept in the bathtub last night, and this damn smell just won’t wash off."

Lin Hongzhuang looked at Zhou Wenyun, "Did you fall into the latrine?"

"Uh..." Zhou Wenyun felt deeply ashamed; there’s nothing more humiliating than a pretty woman openly declaring you smell bad.

"I’ll just eat outside."

Zhou Wenyun, shedding tears, took his bowl and squatted outside to eat.

Lin Hongzhuang hurriedly said, "Young Master Zhou, I was just joking with you..."

Qin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle, but the smell left by the Earth Demons was truly terrifying, persisting for so long without dissipating.

Xia Yanbing curiously asked, "Honey, what happened last night?"

"Two monsters emerged, crawling out of the Heavenly Pit, much more terrifying than the Blood Monkeys."

Lin Hongzhuang looked full of curiosity, "More terrifying than those weird monkeys? Are there any photos? Let me see..."

Qin Yi’s expression became strange, "Are you sure you want to see?"

"What’s wrong? Is it still a secret?"

Qin Yi took out his phone. He had casually snapped a couple of photos when he killed the first Earth Demon last night, and he handed the phone to Lin Hongzhuang after opening the images.

Xia Yanbing leaned in, wanting to see, but Qin Yi quickly covered her eyes.

Lin Hongzhuang looked at the photos and froze for three seconds, then... she dashed to the restroom, covering her mouth.

Qin Yi’s lips curled into a mischievous grin as he put away the phone.

Xia Yanbing looked puzzled but also knew Lin Hongzhuang must have seen something disgusting.

A few minutes later, Lin Hongzhuang returned from the restroom looking pale, glaring fiercely at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "You wanted to see it yourself; it’s nothing to do with me."

"You deliberately showed me something so disgusting. Why didn’t you show it to Bingbing?"

"I was afraid it would disgust her."

Lin Hongzhuang: "..."

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat, Xu Gao called and booked a ticket for one in the afternoon."

Lin Hongzhuang puffed out her cheeks; there’s no way she could eat now, just thinking about what she saw made her nauseous.

After breakfast, Qin Yi bid farewell to Zhou Tianwei.

Zhou Tianwei looked grateful, "Mr. Qin, thank you so much this time."

Qin Yi shook his head slightly, "Since I encountered it, I couldn’t pretend not to see it. I couldn’t just stand by."

"Big brother, if I have time, I’ll visit you in Yinfeng City," Zhou Wenyun said from five meters away, afraid his smell would offend Qin Yi and the others.

Qin Yi suppressed a laugh and nodded slightly.

Zhou Tianwei looked serious, "Mr. Qin, if there’s ever something you need from the Zhou Family, we’re more than willing to help!"

Qin Yi suddenly asked with curiosity, "Family Head Zhou, how did you become Guardians?"

"We were originally a Qi Cultivation family, later conscripted by the state."

"Qi Refiners live high above, wielding power beyond common reach, yet you willingly became Guardians? To be at the beck and call?"

Zhou Tianwei smiled, "Before the Heavenly Pit incident, how did Mr. Qin find Huahai City?"

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, "The greenery’s good, the air fresh, and the economy prosperous."

Zhou Tianwei’s face took on a serious and solemn expression, "I don’t know why, but I just like seeing people live in peace and prosperity."

"That is why I became a Guardian, to maintain this thriving stability. People need something to hold on to."

After a pause, Zhou Tianwei continued, "Just like you, Mr. Qin, you choose to protect your woman. I chose to guard millions of lives. It’s all the same reason."

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then smiled, "You have more perspective than I do."

"Oh no, the beliefs are different, that’s all! In truth, guarding one person and guarding a city are the same."

Qin Yi smiled and didn’t continue discussing the topic, "Time’s about up; we’ll take our leave!"

Zhou Tianwei ordered someone to send Qin Yi to the airport.

Zhou Wenyun wanted to personally see Qin Yi off but with his insistent smell, if he sat in the same car, he’d make Qin Yi nauseous.

When Qin Yi arrived at the airport, Xu Gao and others were already there.

After five in the afternoon, everyone arrived in Yinfeng City.

Jin Wenchang saw Qin Yi coming out of the airport and hurried over, respectfully saying, "Welcome back, Master, it must have been a long journey!"

Both Xia Yanbing and Lin Hongzhuang were filled with astonishment, knowing about Jin Wenchang, not only prosperous in business publicly but also controlling half of Yinfeng City’s underground forces... Such a powerful figure actually called Qin Yi Master.

This title was just too bizarre.

Qin Yi said indifferently, "Remember to handle Knife’s affairs well. He’s gone, but there should be a burial site. I’ll personally pay my respects."

"Don’t worry, Master, it’s already being arranged!"

"Remember, don’t mistreat his family."

"Yes!"

After getting in the car, Lin Hongzhuang said, "Bingbing, I need to go see my dad first. I’ll come find you later."

Qin Yi instructed Jin Wenchang to take Lin Hongzhuang home first, then send them.

"Master, it’s about dinner time; shall we eat before heading back?"

Qin Yi looked at Xia Yanbing, "Are you hungry?"

Xia Yanbing shook her head, "I ate something on the plane, not feeling hungry."

Qin Yi wasn’t very hungry either, so he asked Jin Wenchang to take them straight home.

When they got back to the Xia Family, it was already seven in the evening.

Xia Yujiang and Dong Jinsu had just finished eating not long ago and were watching TV on the sofa. These two were generally idle.

Hearing the door, they turned around and saw Qin Yi and Xia Yanbing walk in, standing up as if bitten by snakes.

Qin Yi naturally knew what they were worried about.

"Mom, Dad, we’re back!"

Xia Yanbing broke the silence, clearly sensing her parents’ worries.

Her parents had been extremely harsh on Qin Yi before.

But now, the once ordinary Qin Yi had become a god-like existence; how could her worldly parents not be in awe?

Xia Yujiang and Dong Jinsu looked at Qin Yi walking in with fear, nervous and uneasy.

Qin Yi looked at them with an indifferent gaze.

Xia Yanbing tensed up, clenching her delicate fists tightly... If Qin Yi held a grudge about the past, what should she do? Her parents might not be the best, but they had raised her and couldn’t just be abandoned.

Qin Yi looked at Xia Yanbing and whispered in her ear, "If I make things difficult for them now, what will you do?"

This was precisely what Xia Yanbing had been agonizing over.

"Honey, I know my parents are a bit worldly and were very harsh to you. But they’re still my parents. If you’re unhappy, could you take it out on me instead? I won’t blame you, no matter what you do; I deserve it."
