I Started As the Qin Family Patriarch and Was Bound to the Selection System

Wang Meng led his men to seek revenge.The news of Wang Chong’s death quickly spread throughout Dragon Abyss Island.

All the Cultivators were deeply shocked, finding it somewhat unbelievable that the lawless Wang Chong had been killed because of an ordinary woman.

At the same time, many Cultivators secretly cheered in their hearts; with Wang Chong dead, there would be one less great scourge on Dragon Abyss Island from now on.

On the other side, after Qin Yi buried the old man, he walked directly into the city.

Through inquiries, he learned that the Green-robed Woman was named Qing’er. She was an orphan who had been adopted by the old man, and from then on, Qing’er had lived with him.

Behind him, Qing’er’s face was full of worry as she spoke, ”Sir, we should leave Dragon Abyss Island quickly. You killed Wang Chong.”

”The Wang Family will certainly not let this matter rest.”

Qin Yi said in a deep voice, ”No need. I intend to take the teleportation formation to the Central State.”

”Furthermore, if the Wang Family dares to come looking for trouble, I will simply exterminate them.”

The Water Dragon Turtle on Qin Yi’s shoulder patted its chest with a turtle claw and promised, ”Little Qing’er, don’t be afraid. With this Dragon Turtle here, I definitely guarantee your safety.”

Seeing the Water Dragon Turtle’s cute appearance, Qing’er was also amused, and her tense emotions relaxed a little.

Soon,

Qin Yi and the others walked to the front of an inn. On it were written the four large characters: Fulai Inn.

So they walked inside to rest for a while and also to inquire about the opening time of the teleportation formation.

Every time the teleportation formation is activated, it consumes a large number of Spirit Stones, so the opening times are limited and it is not open every day.

As soon as he saw Qin Yi and the others enter, the Shop Assistant’s eyes immediately lit up. He approached them with a face full of smiles and asked:

”Welcome to our small shop, two honored guests. What can I get for you?”

Qin Yi spoke up straightforwardly, ”Bring out all the best food and drink in your shop. You won’t be short of Spirit Stones.”

Seeing Qin Yi’s extraordinary temperament and generous manner, the Shop Assistant thought to himself: This is a major customer; I must serve him well.

The smile on the Shop Assistant’s face grew even wider, and he hurriedly bowed and scraped, saying, ”Right away! Guests, please wait a moment while I immediately notify the kitchen.”

After speaking, the Shop Assistant turned around and ran like a streak of smoke toward the kitchen.

Qin Yi found a seat by the window and sat down, while Qing’er stood to the side, hesitating to sit.

Qin Yi turned his head and asked in confusion, ”Qing’er, why aren’t you sitting down?”

Qing’er bit her lip and replied in a low voice, ”Sir, you are of noble status. I am just a Mortal without any cultivation; I am not worthy of sitting and eating with you.”

Qin Yi smiled and said, ”With me, there aren’t so many rules. Just sit down.”

”Moreover, I believe even a Mortal can become an Emperor. If you don’t try, you will never know what the result will be.”

The Water Dragon Turtle also persuaded her, ”Little Qing’er, look at how malnourished you are. Hurry up and sit down so we can eat together.”

Qing’er hesitated for a moment and finally sat down opposite Qin Yi.

Qin Yi thought to himself that Qing’er had never been in contact with cultivation before.

When the time came, he could find a Cultivation Technique for Qing’er and let her practice to see what her cultivation talent was like.

After a short while.

The Shop Assistant brought over plates of fragrant Yao Beast meat and introduced them with a smile: ”Guest, this is our shop’s signature Spirit Fish meat, sourced from the Rank Six Yao Beast, the Lightning Fish.”

”This is Wind Wolf meat, sourced from the Rank Six Yao Beast, the Gale Wolf.”

”This is Macaque Wine, brewed using the Rank Six Spirit Fruit, the Macaque Fruit.”

”...”

There were nine types of Yao Beast meat in total, along with two jars of Macaque Wine emitting a rich aroma, completely filling the table.

Qin Yi’s gaze swept over the Yao Beast meat, and he nodded in satisfaction, then asked:

”Shop Assistant, when does the teleportation formation on Dragon Abyss Island usually open?”

The Shop Assistant responded with a smile, ”Guest, our teleportation formation here only opens during the last three days of every month.”

”Today is the 24th, so you’ll have to wait three more days before it opens.”

Qin Yi nodded. Then, with a flick of his wrist, a Storage Pouch flew in front of the Shop Assistant as he said:

”There are Spirit Stones inside. Go and prepare two top-grade rooms for us; the extra is your tip.”

The Shop Assistant took the Storage Pouch and opened it to see that it contained exactly one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones. A surprised smile appeared on his face as he said:

”Right away! Please enjoy your meal, guest. I’ll go and prepare the rooms for you now.”

Afterwards, Qin Yi and the others began to enjoy the delicacies on the table.

The Water Dragon Turtle couldn’t wait and grabbed pieces of meat, stuffing them into its mouth and chewing, while saying indistinctly:

”This taste is indeed not bad. Delicious, delicious.”

The Water Dragon Turtle looked as if it hadn’t eaten anything for several lifetimes.

Meanwhile, Qing’er gently picked up a piece of meat and chewed it in small bites.

As time passed, the energy from the Yao Beast meat spread through Qing’er’s body.

Instantly, Qing’er’s originally malnourished face became rosy, and her spirits were revitalized.

Qin Yi ate unhurriedly, consuming the Yao Beast meat while sipping the Macaque Wine.

As his cultivation continued to improve, Qin Yi’s desire for food and drink had diminished significantly.

A short while later.

The Yao Beast meat on the table was completely finished, with four-fifths of it having gone into the Water Dragon Turtle’s mouth.

The Water Dragon Turtle lay on the stool, its two front claws rubbing its turtle skin, and said with satisfaction:

”Cooked Yao Beast meat really is better. Back then in the Endless Sea, this poor Dragon Turtle could only eat raw Yao Beast meat.”

Suddenly, a figure flashed, and a White-haired Old Man wearing a grey robe appeared. This was none other than the housekeeper of the Island Masters Mansion, Long Mo.

Long Mo said urgently, ”You had better leave here quickly. You killed Wang Chong, and the Wang Family will not let you go.”

Qin Yi and the others had walked into the city openly, so it was normal to be noticed by others.

Qin Yi thought to himself: I didn’t expect them to come to the door so quickly. It seems this Grey-Robed Old Man shouldn’t be from the Wang Family.

Thus, Qin Yi asked, ”Who are you?”

Long Mo replied, ”I am the housekeeper of the Island Masters Mansion. If you don’t leave now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave at all.”

Hearing this, Qing’er’s eyes were filled with fear.

Upon hearing that he was from the Island Masters Mansion, the Water Dragon Turtle was suddenly very excited. It quickly flipped over and asked, ”Is that fellow Long Xiaotian still alive?”

Long Mo’s eyes were filled with doubt as he asked in return, ”Could it be that you know our Old Island Master?”

Just then, a furious roar was heard.

”Surround this place for me! We must not let the murderer of my son escape!”

Qin Yi looked toward the source of the sound.

He saw Wang Meng leading over a dozen Family experts, charging into the inn aggressively.

The customers eating in the inn were startled, looks of fear appearing on their faces as they began to whisper among themselves.

”What’s happening? Why did the head of the Wang Family bring so many people here?”

”It’s over. To think the murderer of Wang Chong is actually inside the inn. We won’t be implicated, will we?”

”What? The ruthless person who killed Wang Chong is actually here? Who is it?”

Immediately after, a Cultivator stepped out from behind Wang Meng, pointed his finger at Qin Yi, and shouted loudly:

”Family Head Wang, the murderer of Young Master Wang Chong is this person.”

This Cultivator was one of the people who had been watching outside the city walls. To curry favor with the Wang Family, he had specifically followed them to identify Qin Yi.

Wang Meng’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he said angrily, ”It was you who killed my son. Today, I want you to be buried with him.”

Then, Wang Meng looked at Long Mo again and questioned, ”Could it be that your Island Masters Mansion intends to stop me?”

Long Mo shook his head and said, ”Our Island Masters Mansion is not participating in this matter.”

Afterwards, Long Mo quickly moved to the side.

Although the Island Master had asked him to help Qin Yi leave, the prerequisite was that it was done without offending the Wang Family.
