Chapter 423: Chapter 423 Betraying the Son

At noon, Qin Yi took out the grill.

Eating barbecue and drinking chilled beer, it was so comfortable.

At night, Qin Yi slept in the tent, while Liu Yiren slept in the car, which had air conditioning.

Early the next morning, Tan Yi called his subordinate, "Has Qin Yi left yet?"

"No, I guess he’s still not up yet."

"Damn it..."

Tan Yi was full of frustration. That rogue, he was afraid Qin Yi would sneak into the Tan family in the middle of the night and beat him up, so he didn’t dare to sleep all night, even waking up in nightmares.

"Fine, very good, Qin Yi, you’ve got guts! Let’s see who can outlast whom?"

"Flaring up so early in the morning? That’s not good for your health!" Tan Feihong came downstairs.

Tan Fei shouted angrily, "Dad, are you just going to watch that bastard Qin Yi camp at our doorstep?"

"What else?" Tan Feihong shrugged, "Or do you want to go chase him away?"

Tan Yi: "..."

Damn, if I could chase him away, would I be hiding at home?

"I must figure out a way to make that guy leave on his own."

Tan Yi scratched his head, pacing around the living room, pulling out several strands of hair.

Tan Feihong teased, "Stop turning, mills use motors now, not donkeys. You’re making me dizzy."

Tan Yi was full of frustration, unable to come up with a solution.

"Fine, we’ll just see who outlasts whom?"

As Tan Feihong walked towards the dining room, he casually said, "Go ahead! By the time you fend off Qin Yi, those girls of yours will probably be married with kids."

"Ugh..." Tan Yi scratched his head, feeling like he was going crazy.

"Dad, where are you going?" Tan Fei asked curiously as he saw Tan Feihong come out of the kitchen with a plate of bread, bacon, fried eggs, and other items.

Tan Feihong seriously replied, "Going to greet Qin Yi. Care to join?"

Tan Yi was dumbfounded, "Are these for Qin Yi?"

"Yes! Guests are guests; Qin Yi isn’t not coming in because he doesn’t dare, but because he respects the rules and doesn’t want to tear things up. Qin Yi knows the rules, so we shouldn’t forget our manners either."

Tan Yi shouted angrily, "He’s just a hooligan."

"And you’re a lecher, yet I raised you without complaints, right?"

Tan Yi was dumbfounded, "I must get a DNA test with you; you can’t be my real dad."

Tan Feihong’s mouth twitched a few times, "If you don’t go, I will."

"Go ahead, but be careful not to get beaten up by Qin Yi. I can’t help you with that."

Tan Feihong laughed, "If he offers me an olive branch, asking me to follow him, I’d definitely agree."

Tan Yi: "..."

Is this really his dad? He was seriously starting to doubt it.

...

...

"Daoist Qin Yi?"

Tan Feihong placed the breakfast under the umbrella on the table, calling out.

Qin Yi emerged from the tent, looking at Tan Feihong.

"I’m Tan Feihong, Tan Yi’s father."

Qin Yi realized, "Ah, so you’re the head of the Tan family, my apologies!"

"No need!" Tan Feihong waved his hand with a smile, "I’ve prepared some breakfast for you."

Qin Yi’s eyes flickered with a strange expression, "You’re not planning to bribe me with breakfast, are you?"

"Absolutely not. Daoist Qin Yi can stay here as long as you like. If it’s uncomfortable, I can arrange two rooms for you."

"Sounds great!"

"Uh..." Tan Feihong was taken aback.

Qin Yi walked to the car and knocked on the window, then came back, stretching and sitting down, "The tent is really uncomfortable; it would be great if the Tan family head could prepare two rooms, preferably next to Master Tan’s."

Tan Feihong waved his hand, and a Tan family bodyguard ran over.

"Go, prepare two rooms for Daoist Qin Yi, and remember to arrange them next to the Master’s."

"Huh?" The bodyguard was dumbfounded.

The young master wished to kill this person, and the family head wanted him to stay?

Tan Feihong’s face darkened.

"Yes, I’ll arrange it immediately!" The bodyguard ran off quickly.

Liu Yiren pushed the car door open, stumbling out, complaining, "Qin Yi, it’s too uncomfortable sleeping in the car. Tonight you sleep in the car, I’ll take the tent."

"No need, we’ll sleep in beds tonight. Come over and say hello to the Tan family head."

Liu Yiren became more alert, curiously looking at Tan Feihong, "Hello, Tan family head!"

"Hello, Miss Liu!"

Qin Yi waved his hand, "The Tan family head prepared breakfast; have a seat and eat."

"I’ll wash up first."

Tan Feihong was left in awe. Wow, she even brought toiletries?

Qin Yi laughed, "Master Tan should have told the Tan family head my purpose for coming, yet you still dare let me into the manor."

"This manor isn’t just for Daoist Qin Yi to enter as you please. Since you follow the rules, I must understand etiquette, right?"

Qin Yi chuckled, "I want Tan to follow me, what does the Tan family head say?"

"I don’t mind, it’s up to your capabilities."

Qin Yi squinted, "You’re not against it?"

Tan Feihong’s expression turned serious, looking earnestly at Qin Yi, "I know Daoist Qin Yi is ambitious, concerned for the world, and compassionate for all beings. I don’t ask for anything else, just that Daoist Qin Yi promises to keep my son safe."

"I can’t guarantee that," Qin Yi said bitterly to Tan Feihong, "Honestly, what I’m doing now seems foolish to many, unlikely to even earn the term ’precautionary.’ But I am sure a catastrophe will come in the future.

I can’t even guarantee my own life; how can I boastfully promise to keep Tan safe? All I can do is promise to do my utmost."

Tan Feihong’s eyes flickered, suddenly laughing, "If you agreed easily, I’d think you were a liar. But with what you say, I feel at ease."

Qin Yi was surprised, "The Tan family head isn’t stopping me from taking Tan away?"

Tan Feihong chuckled, "Flowers grown in a greenhouse, no matter how precious, can’t withstand storms without facing winds and rain. Tan is extraordinarily talented, became famous young, yet has gradually lost himself over the years. Staying in Baihua City, he’ll never know how vast the outside world is."

Qin Yi smiled faintly, "For the Tan family head to say this means I understand!"

"Daoist Qin Yi, please hurry and eat!" Tan Feihong stood up, "I haven’t told you anything."

Qin Yi paused, nodding slightly, "Understood!"

Tan Feihong cupped his hands and then turned to leave.

Liu Yiren, fully washed, walked over, "Was the Tan family head here to chase us away?"

"No, he came to deliver breakfast, and incidentally sell out his son."

Liu Yiren was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing at all? Hurry up and eat before it gets cold."

"So mysterious!" Liu Yiren muttered under her breath, biting into the bacon-clad bread.

Qin Yi smiled slightly. He had thought Tan Feihong would oppose him; surprisingly, he was quite enlightened. He mused: Tan Yi, how hated are you? Even your father can’t stand you, wanting to kick you out.
