Chapter 1276 1276: Are the Inner Sect Elders Just Bored Out of Their Minds?

Zhao Jing was slightly startled, then his face changed drastically, "You mean… impossible, absolutely impossible."

Qin Yi said indifferently, "Why is it impossible?"

"Because it doesn't make sense, they have no reason to do this."

Qin Yi picked up the teacup and took a light sip, playing with the idea, "It's just that you think it doesn't make sense; maybe there's a reason you don't know."

Zhao Jing's face changed slightly, "Do you know something?"

"I'm just speculating, it's hard to say." Qin Yi paused, then continued, "I guess even if you turn the Outer Sect upside down, you won't find Ran Zitong. So, I think you should look higher up."

Zhao Jing fell silent, his expression constantly changing.

Qin Yi smiled, gently putting down the teacup, casually said, "You going is better than me going. Truthfully speaking, a Sword Sect branch is not worth my attention. I promised Ran Zitong to help her, so I will definitely see it through. Now Ran Zitong has disappeared in your Sword Sect branch, I believe whatever I do is not excessive."

Zhao Jing's face changed drastically, he didn't want the Sword Sect branch to be at odds with Qin Yi. He had fought Qin Yi but couldn't tell anything about Qin Yi's cultivation. However, from Yun Mengyao's words, he could infer that Qin Yi was definitely not easy to deal with.

"Alright, wait here, don't be impulsive yet. I'll go and check the upper levels."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "If you can't find anything, then I'll check personally."

Zhao Jing turned and left.

Yun Mengyao was utterly confused, "What kind of riddle are you guys playing?"

"This question is too profound for your simple brain, better just drink tea."

Yun Mengyao: "..."

"Do you believe I'll choke you to death? I haven't settled the money matter with you yet."

Qin Yi grinned, "You still need to borrow money from me now, so don't be so arrogant. If I don't lend it, and someone finds Ran Zitong, where will you get five hundred gold coins to give them?"

Yun Mengyao was so infuriated that her stomach hurt, such a shameless rogue.

She took a couple of sips of tea, "Suddenly I really miss Bingbing, with her around nobody would bully me."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Alright, I'll put up five hundred gold coins, okay?"

This woman brought up Xia Yanbing, what else could he say?

"I kept advising you to find a suitable husband on Earth and get married, but you insisted on returning to this godforsaken place, regret it now?"

Yun Mengyao pouted in displeasure, "Who said I regretted it? I just miss Bingbing. I remember on Earth, Bingbing just gave me millions of money casually, unlimited spending, no restrictions at all. But now, look at me, I'm penniless, can't even afford a piece of clothing, I'm really pitiful. If Bingbing were here, I definitely wouldn't be this poor."

Qin Yi: "..."

"I really miss Bingbing."

Qin Yi was speechless, "Alright, whatever you want to buy, I'll buy it for you, okay?"

Really in disbelief about this woman, always bringing up Xia Yanbing. The key is he had no resistance to Xia Yanbing at all, really enough.

Yun Mengyao suddenly became fawning, diligently poured Qin Yi a cup of tea, "Don't you know what I like? Better just give me the money directly and let me buy myself, save you the trouble."

Three black lines appeared on Qin Yi's forehead, this woman really is a money grubber. All because Xiaobing pampered this woman on Earth, giving money in millions with no restrictions, resulted in this woman's extravagant spending habits now.

Really, you don't recognize the value of money until you have to manage a household budget.

"How much do you want?"

Yun Mengyao smiled fawningly, "Not much, just a thousand gold coins."

Qin Yi's eyes widened, "You really dare to ask, a thousand gold coins is enough for a third-rate sect's annual expenses. No way."

"But Bingbing never restricted my spending."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Do you know how to write 'extravagant woman'?"

Yun Mengyao looked disdainful, "I just don't understand, how such an excellent woman as Bingbing can fall for a stingy man like you. If there's ever a chance to return to Earth, I would definitely persuade Bingbing to find someone else."

Qin Yi boasted, "Then you're too blind, Bingbing is deeply in love with me. Besides, now we even have children."

"What do those two kids think knowing their dad is a miser?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"No, not a thousand gold coins, a hundred coins, that's the maximum. If you talk more, not even a single coin."

Yun Mengyao thought for a while, "Fine, a hundred is a hundred, give it to me."

To shut this woman up, Qin Yi gave her a hundred gold coins.

Yun Mengyao took the money, showing disdain, "Stingy ghost."

"You eat your fill and curse the cook, Miss Yun, you really know how."

"Well, it's my own money that you stole, you're a thief."

Qin Yi: "..."

...

...

The two waited until the moon rose at the treetops, but there was no news of Ran Zitong.

Qin Yi's brows furrowed deeply.

Yun Mengyao looked equally worried, "These Sword Sect people are really useless, the person was lost in the Sword Sect, but in this tiny place they can't find even two people."

"Just afraid someone is interfering, not wanting anyone to be found."

Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi, "I know you definitely have a suspect, who is it? Don't forget, if something happens to Ran Zitong, you won't get the remaining mental method of Engraving Skill."

Qin Yi was certainly aware of this.

"You're not afraid of the Sword Sect's power, not daring to go against them, are you?"

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Let's wait a bit more, if there's still no news, we'll look for it ourselves."

They were talking when Zhao Jing returned.

Yun Mengyao hurriedly asked, "Great Elder, is there any news on Ran Zitong?"

Zhao Jing's gaze flickered, smiling, "There's news! The Inner Sect Elders are very concerned about this matter, after all, the Ran Family is under Sword Sect protection, such a matter reflects badly on Sword Sect's reputation. Thus, the Inner Sect Elders invited Miss Ran to ask some questions."

"Then where is Ran Zitong now?"

"She returned to Tianming City."

Yun Mengyao was stunned, "She returned to Tianming City alone?"

Zhao Jing said, "The Inner Sect Elders were worried Wu Zihua couldn't investigate thoroughly alone, after all, Miss Ran is directly involved, so they invited her back to assist with the investigation. If it's confirmed that Ba Nian truly betrayed his master and clan, the Inner Sect has issued orders to directly eliminate Ba Nian."

Yun Mengyao laughed, "Ha, seems Sword Sect still has people who can get things done. Qin Yi, let's hurry back, what if Ran Zitong encounters danger on the way?"

But Qin Yi looked at Zhao Jing, "Great Elder, which Inner Sect Elder invited Ran Zitong?"

"This…" A hint of panic flashed beneath Zhao Jing's eyes, "All Inner Sect Elders are very concerned about this matter, all the Elders were present at the time."

Qin Yi's lips curled into a cold smile, "Are all your Inner Sect Elders so idle, with nothing better to do?"

Zhao Jing laughed dryly, "This matter concerns the Sword Sect's reputation, so all the Inner Sect Elders are very serious about it."
