Everyone looked at each other, speechless.
Xinyue pursed her lips, “Like he is really afraid of Elder the Eighth.”
Qi Lan, “…”
Even he nearly thought Rong Yi was the one who was wronged.
Old lady Yin took out the silk handkerchief and handed it to Rong Yi, comforting him, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Elder the Eighth just speaks in an injured voice, but he didn’t mean to be hard on you.”
Rong Yi looked at Elder the Eighth timidly and burped as he cried, “Really?”
Elder the Eighth nearly got mad by his you-are-bullying-me face.
Elder the Third who had been played by Rong Yi before said in a cold voice, “Rong Yi, do not pretend. We won’t buy it.”
Yin Jinye, “…”
Rong Yi’s body, “…”
Old lady Yin, “…”
“I, I, I, I…I didn’t, didn’t, didn’t, didn’t…pretend…”Rong Yi cried even harder, “I, I, I, I, I…I am, am, am, am, am…really, really crying…Old, old, old ma’am…I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m really, really, really, crying…”
Old Lady Yin also felt sorry for Rong Yi, “I know, I know, look at those tears. How is possible you are faking it?”
Elder the Third, “…”
Old lady Yin said to those elders, “I guess we should save the etiquettes. If there is an opportunity next time, I will introduce him to you again.”
Elder the Third did want to let Rong Yi go so easily, “My old lady, I don’t care if he is faking it or not. There is one thing to make clear face to face. If he does not take back the words exchanging our heads with his enchanted runes, he is making enemies with our whole Yin Family!”
He had had enough of being chased these days, and even if they stayed home, there were always people sneaking in trying to kill them. They had never had a peaceful day for a long time.
Rong Yi did not understand what he was saying at all. Noticing that Elder the Second, Elder the Fourth, Elder the Fifth and Elder the Seventh all glaring at him, he hurriedly hid behind old lady Yin, like a frightened rabbit.
Old Lady Yin said mildly, “You know very well why he did that. You forced him to do so. If you didn’t purposely create difficulties for him, and used someone who is close to him to threaten him, of course he would take back his words.”
Elder the Third readily agreed, “All right, we will no longer go against him.”
Old lady Yin looked over at Rong Yi’s body.
Rong Yi’s body blinked at her.
Old lady Yin said, “I will also help you persuade him to take back his words.”
Elder the Third murmured, “The antidote for Elder the Fourth and Elder the Seventh…”
Old lady Yin suddenly darkened her face, saying harshly, “You still think it is Ye’er who poisoned them?”
“I didn’t mean that. I only hope that you could find a method to make the antidote as soon as possible, because there is not much time for them.”
Old Lady Yin’s face softened a bit. “I know. I will try my best to cure the two elders.”
Other elders no longer said anything.
“Please make yourself comfortable. The family dinner will begins soon.” Old Lady Yin announced these words to everyone and took her grandchildren to meet her close friends and relatives.
Rong Yi quickly hid behind Rong Yi’s body, “Those elders…are…are…so…terrible.”
Rong Yi’s body said, “no matter how terrible they are, they still didn’t harm you, right?”
“…” Rong Yi saw that Elder the Third was still glaring at him, hurriedly hiding behind Rong Yi’s body.
Rong Yi’s body smiled at those elders.
Elder the Third angrily turned around, said to Elder the Second, Elder the Seventh, Elder the Fourth, Elder the Eight through ventriloquism, “This little son of a bitch dare to play weak before me, as if we are bullying him. No idea what evil plan he is cooking this time.”
Elder the Second snorted, “We already know what he is capable of, so it doesn’t work however hard he is pretending.”
Elder the Fifteenth and Elder the Sixteenth gave each other a look and said in a whisper, “Is Rong Yi really trying to play weak? Isn’t that too real?”
Elder the Sixteenth twisted his eyebrow, “It’s not like he is faking it.”
“Elder the Second, Elder the Third, Qi Lan and others all have ever contacted with him, so they know about him a bit. If they said he is pretending, he is pretending, so people would think we are bullying him, and then he could give us an unprepared blow.”
“We can test him if there’s any chance.”
Yin Jinye now played as the young master of the family, who needed to greet guests, so he let Xinghe take Rong Yi and Rong Yi’s body to do some shopping.
At this time, Qi Lan came over, “Rong Yi…”
As Rong Yi heard someone calling him, he reflexively hid behind Rong Yi’s body.
Qi Lan snorted, “In front of me, you are still pretending? Do you think it’s funny?”
“You…who are you?” Rong Yi asked.
Xinyue sulked, “Rong Yi, you think we will let you off if you are pretending to lose your memories?”
“Don’t come near me.” Rong Yi hid behind Rong Yi’s body in fear and did not dare to come out.
Rong Yi’s body said to Rong Yi through sound transmission, “Tell Qi Lan, if he dare offend you, you would tell everyone things in the tunnel of the secret realm.”
Rong Yi, “…”
“Say it.”
Rong Yi swallowed some saliva in fear and then said to Qi Lan, “You, you today, today do not, do not provoke me, otherwise, I, I will tell everything…about things in the…secret…secret realm…”
On thinking that in the realm, he cried, calling Rong Yi dad while holding his leg, Qi Lan narrowed his eyes, “I dare you…”
Rong Yi’s body taught Rong Yi again, “You say, try me, and you will know if I dare or not.”
Rong Yi hurriedly said to Qi Lan, “Try me, and you will know.”
Qi Lan snorted and then turned to walk away.
Rong Yi’s body called, “Lord Qi Lan.”
Qi Lan turned around, “What?”
“Rong Yi asked me to give you this.” Rong Yi’s body took out a small box and threw it to Qi Lan.
“Master, be careful.” Xinyue hurriedly hit it off.
The box fell to the ground.
Rong Yi’s body curled up his lips, “A cultivator at his Mahayana phase is afraid of receiving a box from someone at his Qi Practicing?”
Xinyue glared at him, “Who knows if there’s any trigger or what in the box?”
“Even if I did, do you think I can hurt your master?”
“Rong Yi has ever wounded my master before.” Once bitten, twice shy.
“Qi Lan, if you don’t look what’s inside, you will regret it.” Rong Yi’s body then dragged Rong Yi to leave.
