“Don’t worry.” Qin Chen said boldly, “Big brother-in-law, how could I stoop to the same level as my little sister-in-law? After all, we are family. Little girl, remember to call me brother-in-law from now on, got it? As for big brother-in-law…”

Qin Chen then looked at Ji Ru Ri, “You can just call me brother-in-law, what’s with the ‘Iron Bull Brother’ nonsense, that’s too distant!”

Pfft!

Ji Ru Ri, who was halfway through drinking, immediately spat it out. Brother-in-law? This kid has too much imagination.

“Haha.” He chuckled awkwardly, unsure of how to respond.

“Iron Bull Brother, Ziyun offers you a toast.” Just then, Fairy Ziyun stood up, freeing him from the awkwardness.

Fairy Ziyun’s figure was graceful, standing elegantly. Her cherry-red lips parted softly, breathing fragrance like orchids. Her beautiful eyes sparkled like autumn waters, captivating all around her, as if she could speak.

She looked at Qin Chen with a smile, her amber wine glass contrasting with her fair jade-like hand, creating an alluring aura under the light.

“Good, good, let’s go!” Qin Chen raised his wine glass, only to see Fairy Ziyun’s enchanting eyes seem to convey something to him. That gaze was soul-stirring and extraordinary.

“Eh!” Qin Chen seemed to be drawn in, staring intently. Fairy Ziyun’s heart leaped with joy; this little fool, as long as she acted a bit more actively, he was indeed charmed.

After all, he was just a wild man from the mountains; what kind of world had he seen? As long as she displayed her charm intentionally, success was guaranteed.

Just as she was secretly pleased, Qin Chen asked with confusion, “Fairy Ziyun, what’s wrong with your eyes? Why are you blinking at me non-stop? Did some sand get in your eyes? Should I help you blow it out?”

“Ahem!”

Fairy Ziyun nearly choked on half a glass of wine, feeling furious with her face flushing red. What do you mean sand got in your eyes? Is this guy an idiot? How many handsome men have fallen for her clear and suggestive gaze?

In his eyes, it was just sand in her eyes!

Fairy Ziyun was at a loss for words.

Next, while drinking and chatting, Qin Chen began to inquire about Ru Yue’s situation. He was casual and did not dodge the topic, directly asking.

Ji Ru Ri seemed to trust Qin Chen greatly and spoke freely.

Soon, Qin Chen learned about the current state of the Ji family.

The Ji family’s situation was quite complicated now. Due to their close relationship with the Piao Miao Palace and holding high positions in the Law Enforcement Hall, the Ji family had divided into several factions, and Ji Ru Ri's father, Ji Dao Yuan, whom Qin Chen had seen that day, was one of these factions.

Additionally, Ji Ru Ri vaguely indicated that Ru Yue was in the ancestral land and did not participate in the Dao Mountain competition because she had disobeyed the Ji family's ancestor. As a result, she was punished and confined in the ancestral land, not for training.

This left Qin Chen feeling somewhat gloomy. Ru Yue was the most outstanding genius of the Ji family, the family’s precious jewel, so what kind of mistake had she made to incur the ancestor's wrath to the point of confinement in the ancestral land?

“Ru Yue, wait for me, I’m coming right away.” Qin Chen silently vowed.

Over the next three days, people came and went, but Qin Chen didn’t pay any attention. He directly entered closed-door cultivation, continuing to strive for the realm of Nineth Level Martial God.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Soon it was time to enter the ancestral land.

“Iron Bull Brother, let’s go.” Ji Ru Ri came to Qin Chen’s courtyard early in the morning, calling out loudly.

“What Iron Bull Brother, big brother-in-law, weren’t you supposed to call me brother-in-law?” Qin Chen came out and said.

“Uh…” Ji Ru Ri was speechless, unsure how to respond. This Iron Bull Brother was truly brazen, did he think he was guaranteed to be her brother-in-law? Ji Ru Ri knew too well what kind of person Ru Yue was; if she really liked Qin Chen, she would turn the tables.
