Chapter 406: After Modification: Chapter 406 Despised and Detested by Everyone

"I am undeserving of such praise!"

Qin Yi smiled, knowing the truth about himself. His reputation in the circle was already beyond redemption; what reputation did he have to speak of?

"To speak of someone famous, it has to be Wei Chong, Young Master Wei, a prominent figure on the young talents’ ranking. Now, that’s a true prodigy."

Wei Jiaguo’s eyes narrowed slightly. Qin Yi’s sudden appearance in Tianhe City left his intentions unclear. But coming directly to the Wei Family required cautious handling. After all, this guy wasn’t someone to be trifled with; he was reputedly quite scheming.

"Friend Qin Yi has come, perhaps there’s something you need assistance with from the Wei Family? If there’s anything, just say it, the Wei Family will not hesitate!"

Qin Yi chuckled, "There is indeed something I need the Wei Family’s help with."

Wei Jiaguo’s eye muscles twitched slightly. He only said it out of courtesy, not expecting Qin Yi to actually take him up on it. It seemed he underestimated Qin Yi’s ability to climb up the pole; this guy was shameless and crafty, warranting even more cautious handling.

But since the words were out, there was no reason to take them back. Wei Jiaguo smiled and asked, "What do you need me to do? Just say it, Friend Qin Yi."

"I want to meet Young Master Wei."

Wei Jiaguo was taken aback, his brows slightly furrowed, "Did my son offend Friend Qin Yi in some way? I apologize for it right here."

While speaking, Wei Jiaguo glanced at Chen Jianghai, who nodded subtly and then discreetly left.

Qin Yi waved his hand, "Family Head Wei misunderstands. I have never met Young Master Wei before; there’s no enmity whatsoever. I came here only because of the fame I heard about Young Master Wei, hoping to pay a visit."

Wei Jiaguo’s face was full of disbelief. With Qin Yi’s notorious reputation, as someone despised by both people and ghosts, he definitely didn’t believe Qin Yi was visiting purely for Wei Chong’s fame; there must be some other motive.

The young Qi Refiners had almost all left Yinfeng City without a thing because of Qin Yi. To say Qin Yi had no ulterior motives would be unbelievable to anyone.

"Friend Qin Yi, forgive me, but unfortunately, my son is not at home..."

Wei Jiaguo hadn’t finished his sentence when footsteps sounded from the staircase.

A handsome young man in white casual clothes walked down the stairs expressionlessly and came straight to Qin Yi, "I heard you were looking for me?"

"Young Master Wei?" Qin Yi asked.

Wei Chong nodded.

Wei Jiaguo’s face was full of embarrassment; he had just said Wei Chong wasn’t there, only to be contradicted on the spot. This troublesome kid was really a handful.

Chen Jianghai came down the stairs afterward, looking at Wei Jiaguo with some helplessness.

Wei Jiaguo understood his son’s stubborn nature and didn’t want him to meet with Qin Yi, mainly out of concern. Although his son was outstanding, encountering someone as insidious as Qin Yi might lead to suffering.

"Son, when did you come back?"

Wei Chong said, "I’ve been home all along."

Wei Jiaguo’s old face turned crimson, embarrassed to the point of tears. How did he end up with such a straightforward son? Can’t you spare a thought for your father’s dignity?

"Haha... then I must have remembered wrong. I thought you went out. Old age, memory isn’t what it used to be..." Wei Jiaguo awkwardly tried to cover for himself.

Qin Yi smiled but said nothing.

"You’re Qin Yi?" Wei Chong asked, looking at Qin Yi with an indifferent gaze.

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "That’s me."

"What do you want with me?"

Qin Yi smiled, "Since Young Master Wei is so straightforward, I’ll be direct. I want you to join me in a grand endeavor."

Wei Jiaguo was surprised, frowning deeply; no matter how he listened to it, it sounded like an empty promise.

Wei Chong was also surprised, then sneered, "A grand endeavor? You’re not talking about some scam, are you?"

"Cough..." Qin Yi touched his nose; his reputation was indeed not good.

"Young Master Wei misunderstands. What I’m talking about concerns all beings, concerns the world, concerns everything on Earth."

Wei Chong sneered, "Sorry, not interested!"

Wei Jiaguo’s face was full of disdain; this guy certainly didn’t come with good intentions, but was this boast a little too big? And wasn’t the attempt to persuade him a bit too poor?

If someone grabbed you on the street and said: Brother, let’s save the Earth together, would anyone agree?

Qin Yi smiled wryly, "Young Master Wei, could you hear me out? If you still don’t agree by then, I’ll have to find another way."

Wei Chong sat down with a cold smile, "Alright, I’ve heard you’re an extremely cunning person. I want to see if you can talk circles around me."

"Cunning, huh? What right do you have to be arrogant in front of Qin Yi? You’re not as handsome as he is, your cultivation isn’t higher, and you’re flaunting like a fool, as if you’re afraid others might not know you’re more pretentious than Qin Yi?" Liu Yiren shot back a long retort in a high-pitched voice.

Qin Yi couldn’t help but laugh, hurriedly covering Liu Yiren’s mouth, embarrassed, "Sorry, my little sister likes to joke around."

Wei Chong sneered, saying nothing.

Qin Yi’s expression suddenly became very serious, "Family Head Wei, Young Master Wei, I’m really here for the good of all beings."

"I assume the two of you aren’t unfamiliar with the matter of the Heavenly Pit, right? I’ve seen the Azure Dragon Guardian God, who predicted that Earth will face a catastrophe in the future. The source is the Heavenly Pit, and in less than half a year, more and more Heavenly Pits will appear."

"I’m sure you’re aware of the demons appearing in the Heavenly Pits. When the time comes, not to mention ordinary people, even Qi Refiners might suffer greatly. After all, the number of those demons is far beyond our Qi Refiners."

Wei Jiaguo’s expression turned serious because Qin Yi mentioned the Azure Dragon Guardian God.

"Is this truly predicted by the Azure Dragon Guardian God?" Wei Chong asked suspiciously.

This was precisely what Wei Jiaguo wanted to ask as well.

Qin Yi nodded, "These are indeed the words of the Azure Dragon Guardian God, verbatim."

Wei Chong pondered for a moment, then spoke, "Then what do you want from me? I don’t consider myself inferior to anyone, but I’m not arrogant enough to think I can save all beings."

"Indeed, an individual’s power is limited. But what if the top one hundred young forces on the rankings were united?"

Everyone, including Wei Jiaguo, was shocked.

Wei Chong was even more taken aback, exclaiming, "You want to rally all one hundred people on the rankings under your banner?"

"You could say that," Qin Yi admitted without hiding anything. "If everyone is united, it would form a terrifying force. And everyone is still young, with great potential for growth. As cultivation improves, this force will grow stronger."

Wei Jiaguo was stunned by Qin Yi’s bold idea! Everyone on those rankings was extremely talented and unparalleled. Bringing together all one hundred would also unite the forces behind them.

Needless to say, Qin Yi’s idea was insanely ambitious, with almost zero chance of success.

Wei Chong was silent for a long time, then looked at Qin Yi, unmistakable mockery on his face, "Qin Yi, from what we know about you, you’re definitely not someone who sacrifices for others or cares about the world’s creatures. What’s your real reason for doing this?"
