Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 1478: Chapter 1478: Partners in Tricking the Young and Old

Jing Wuyan was almost in tears.

He didn’t want to be the Hall Master, he just wanted to live his little life with Xiaoxi.

Being the Hall Master was exhausting, even though it meant being high above, it also meant being responsible for billions of souls in the Northern Central State.

"Father, big brother, second brother, I really can’t do it, I..."

Jing Wufa interrupted him, "Stop your whining. Brother Qin Yi says you can, so you definitely can."

"Third brother, keep going!" Jing Wudao added.

Jing Wangyou patted Jing Wuyan’s shoulder and said:

"So it’s decided. Your old dad here is still relatively healthy, and can hold on for a year or two."

"Two years later, we’ll hold the succession ceremony for you."

Jing Wuyan looked bitter, "Father, big brother, second brother, let’s discuss this again."

"No discussing, it’s settled." The three of them said in unison.

Qin Yi chuckled to himself, the Jing family was really peculiar.

In order not to be the Hall Master, this father and his three sons are bullying the youngest.

"Come on, let’s all raise our glasses."

"First, to thank Brother Qin Yi."

"Second, to celebrate Father finding an excellent successor."

"Third, to congratulate the little brother on becoming the Hall Master."

"Hahaha... truly a triple blessing."

Jing Wufa raised his cup and said.

Everyone clinked their glasses together and drank it all in one go.

Qin Yi poured another drink, clinked with Jing Wuyan, and laughed:

"Congratulations, young master."

Jing Wuyan looked at Qin Yi with resentment, "Brother Qin, you set me up."

Qin Yi looked puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

"I asked you to suggest my big brother, why did you suggest me for the Hall Master position?"

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, "You mean you wanted me to suggest your big brother as the Hall Master?"

"Yes! What did you think?"

Qin Yi slapped his forehead, "I thought you wanted me to suggest you. Gosh, look how this turned out."

Jing Wuyan eyed Qin Yi suspiciously, filled with doubt.

Qin Yi was as clever as a fox, how could he not understand his meaning? He must have done it on purpose.

"Brother Qin Yi, we toast you, thank you!"

Jing Wufa and Jing Wudao stood up to toast.

As for why they were thanking Qin Yi, everyone knew.

"Little brother, are you not joining?"

Jing Wuyan snorted twice, full of resentment.

"Hah, soon to be the next Hall Master, he’s already getting temperamental."

Jing Wudao teased.

Jing Wuyan grumbled discontentedly, "I don’t want this Hall Master position. Big brother, second brother, if you like it, I’ll talk to Father right now."

"No, no, no, we can’t handle it."

"Yeah, the key is Brother Qin Yi doesn’t see us as suitable, nor does Father. That just proves we’re not right for it, only you are."

"Exactly, so this position can only belong to you, little brother."

"Congratulations, little brother, cheers, little brother, in two years we’ll have to call you Hall Master."

Jing Wufa and Jing Wudao echoed each other’s words, looking smug, their excitement uncontainable.

The two brothers had always been troubled about passing the Hall Master position to one another, but Qin Yi solved this problem for them.

Afterwards, they could take their wives and travel around, enjoying their little lives.

"Big brother, I toast you! I thought the Hall Master position was yours, but it turns out our little brother is best suited for it, I’m truly sad for you, but also sincerely happy for the little brother."

"I’m sincerely happy for the little brother too."

The two clinked glasses and drank happily.

Jing Wuyan was furious, how could he have such unreliable brothers?

Right, his old man didn’t seem very reliable either.

That night, the host celebrated with the guests, except for Jing Wuyan, who was like a weather-beaten eggplant, sullen and unhappy.

"Xiaoxi, I’m sorry! I promised to travel the world with you, but now it looks like I won’t be able to keep that promise."

Jing Wuyan said to Xiaoxi with a guilty look.

Xiaoxi smiled softly, "It’s okay, as long as I can be with you, I’m very satisfied."

Qin Yi came over with a mischievous grin, "You guys should hurry up and have a child, and when the child grows up, you can set him up too."

"Hand the Hall Master position to your child, and then travel around, there’s plenty of time."

Jing Wuyan looked at Qin Yi with resentment, "Are you finally admitting you set me up earlier?"

"I don’t admit it."

"You clearly set me up earlier."

"I set you up, no doubt, but I don’t think I set up the son." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Qin Yi said earnestly.

Jing Wuyan: "..."

"Alright, I said this because I truly believe in you."

"The Netherworld Hall, in your hands, will surely prosper in the future."

"Moreover, with your current cultivation, you can’t even protect yourself, how can you travel the world with Xiaoxi?"

Qin Yi said, looking at Jing Wangyou, "Jing Palace Master, there’s something I almost forgot to tell you, Xiaoyanzi and Xiaoxi are deeply in love, please help them get married soon."

The table suddenly fell silent.

Everyone knew about Jing Wuyan and Xiaoxi.

But Xiaoxi came from a humble background, and those old fogeys at the Netherworld Hall always obstructed their relationship.

"This might be a bit tricky." Jing Wangyou said with a bitter smile.

Qin Yi frowned, "What’s so difficult about it? I’ve always thought you wouldn’t have any worldly prejudice, do you also think Xiaoxi is too lowly to deserve Xiaoyanzi?"

"That’s not it, Wufa and Wudao’s marriages, I’ve never interfered. I won’t oppose whoever Wuyan loves."

"In principle, since you bring this up, I should agree without hesitation."

"But if it was before, I could still forcefully suppress objections. Now the situation is different, Wuyan will take over as Hall Master, his status has changed."

"Those elders originally didn’t agree with Wuyan and Xiaoxi being together, now with Wuyan’s status change, they will be even less agreeable." freewebnσvel.cøm

Qin Yi frowned, "A bunch of old fogeys, not seeing them doing their proper tasks, yet interfering with trivial matters."

"Wuyan and Xiaoxi getting married isn’t affecting them, what are they meddling for?"

Qin Yi said, looking at Qiu Yuhai, "You disagree?"

Qiu Yuhai hesitated, he indeed disagreed.

Jing Wuyan, as the future Hall Master, should find someone with talent, looks, and outstanding qualities.

Xiaoxi was very ordinary in all aspects, and she came from a humble family, just a maid. If Jing Wuyan married her, it would be laughable if word got out.

Qin Yi squinted his eyes a little, with a dangerous glint shining in them.

"Great Elder, it’s okay, if you disagree just say so. You know my temper, if you say you disagree, I’ll kill you right now, then you won’t oppose it, right?"

Qiu Yuhai: "..."

"Bang!"

The wine glass in Qin Yi’s hand exploded into powder.

But the liquor in the glass floated upwards, starting to disperse, transforming into dozens of water needles, suspended in the air, aimed at Qiu Yuhai.

Qiu Yuhai’s mouth twitched, he knew Qin Yi somewhat, this guy could do anything.

If he said he opposed it, the next second those water needles would be aimed at him.
