Chapter 1315 1315: This Ring Isn't Mine

Here, being kind to others is being cruel to yourself.

As Jia Fengping hurled the opponent's corpse out, the surrounding gazes fixed on Qin Yi and the others diminished greatly.

"Let's go!" Qin Yi said calmly.

Jing Wuyan led Qin Yi and the others through bustling streets and winding alleys, finally arriving at a residence.

"Brother Qin, this is the place."

Mo Xiao stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Before long, the door opened, revealing a cautious face, which fully opened upon seeing Jing Wuyan.

"Young master, you've returned?"

Qin Yi glanced over, noting the man of medium build with several long scars on his face, looking somewhat fierce. However, his cultivation was quite refined, in the late stage of Divine Separation.

Jing Wuyan nodded slightly and took Qin Yi and the others inside.

The courtyard wasn't large, covered in fallen leaves, it seemed it had been abandoned for a long time and offered no scenery worth mentioning.

"You live here?" Yun Mengyao asked in surprise, "Little Yanzi, are you short on money and treating yourself so harshly?"

Jing Wuyan replied awkwardly, "Fairy Yun, finding such a dwelling in Sin City that is habitable is quite difficult. Nine out of ten people outside have to sleep in the wilderness at night. It's not a matter of money, there are very few habitable places in Sin City, even if you have a house, you need the ability to protect it."

"Do people steal houses too?"

"Murdering and robbing houses is common."

Yun Mengyao clicked her tongue, "Are the people here still considered human? They don't even adhere to the most basic rules."

"Then do you adhere to the rules?"

Suddenly, an old voice interjected.

Upon hearing this voice, Qin Yi felt a chill go down his spine, silently noting that trouble was coming.

Everyone looked over, only to see a figure emerge from a side room. Who else could it be but Xiao Jian?

Yun Mengyao and the others exchanged glances, finding it awkward to see Xiao Jian here.

Then, everyone turned to Qin Yi, who appeared unfazed by the encounter.

Qin Yi beamed at Xiao Jian, "Didn't expect to meet you here, Uncle Jian. Isn't this serendipitous? When did you arrive here? Why didn't you walk with us?"

Oh my...

Everyone admired Qin Yi's strong nerves. Don't forget that Xiao Jian believed he stole his storage ring.

Qin Yi remained indifferent; as long as he wasn't embarrassed, others would be.

Xiao Jian approached with a grim face, extending his hand, "Hand it over."

"What?" Qin Yi replied, perplexed.

Xiao Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Don't play dumb, the storage ring."

Qin Yi's expression turned even more bewildered, "Uncle Jian, are you following Sin City's rules and preparing to rob my storage ring?"

"Your storage ring, do you even know what a storage ring is?"

The others instinctively looked over, noticing for the first time the ring on Qin Yi's finger.

Could it be that Qin Yi was truly the one who stole Uncle Xiao's storage ring?

But Qin Yi was too reckless, even daring to wear it openly.

Xiao Jian's face darkened, "Kid, are you going to hand it over obediently, or shall I take it myself?"

Qin Yi's expression turned serious, "Uncle Jian, your cultivation is profound, and I know I am not your match. However, if you want to act as a bandit, I'm sorry, I won't surrender without resistance."

"Fine, I've long wanted to see just how strong you are." With that, he prepared to act.

"Uncle Xiao." Jing Wuyan quickly stepped forward to block Xiao Jian, "Uncle Xiao, Qin brother didn't take this ring. I found it in the forest, maybe you accidentally lost it. Qin brother was just wearing it for fun; don't be mad, I'll have Qin brother return it to you now."

Saying that, he glanced at Qin Yi, signaling with his eyes, "Brother Qin, if you've had enough fun, return the ring to Uncle Xiao. My father bestowed it to him, and he treasures it greatly."

Qin Yi frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is my storage ring, how did it become theirs?"

Jing Wuyan felt helpless, his intent was to give Qin Yi a way out. But Qin Yi simply refused to accept it.

He pulled Qin Yi aside and whispered, "Brother Qin, the facts are clear, if you don't return it, Uncle Xiao won't let this go. Please give me some face and return the ring to Uncle Xiao. If you truly like it, I will help you find one in the future."

"Forget it, you don't even have one yourself, how would you find one for me?" Qin Yi retorted scornfully, "Little Yanzi, let me tell you, this ring is truly mine."

Jing Wuyan was speechless, who would believe that?

"Brother Qin, how about this, you take the resources inside, and give the ring to Uncle Xiao, will that work?"

Qin Yi was enraged, "What are you talking about? Do you think I am greedy for wealth? I'm telling you again, this ring is mine."

With that, he turned away from Jing Wuyan and walked back to Xiao Jian, saying, "Uncle Jian, I respect your age, and call you uncle not because I'm afraid, but out of politeness. However, if you act insolently and claim the ring is yours, don't blame me for not respecting the elderly."

Xiao Jian's face turned livid, "Kid, it seems you won't admit you're wrong unless taught a lesson."

"Why should I admit to wrongdoing? You're robbing my possession and expect me to confess, what kind of logic is that?"

"Robbing your possession, dare you swear to the heavens that the ring is yours?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Qin Yi raised his hand and declared loudly, "I, Qin Yi, swear that this ring is mine. If I utter one false word, may I be struck by lightning five times and die without a grave..."

"Brother Qin." Jing Wuyan shouted, interrupting Qin Yi's oath, as it was excessively harsh.

Mo Xiao and the others' expressions changed drastically. Qin Yi dared to swear so harshly just for a storage ring.

Xiao Jian was stunned as well, surprised Qin Yi dared to swear.

"Uncle Jian, do you believe me now?" Qin Yi said, removing the ring, "I can hand this ring over for inspection, but what if it turns out not to be yours?"

Xiao Jian chuckled coldly, "If it truly isn't mine, I'll pour tea and apologize."

"Great, it's a deal." Qin Yi said, removing the ring and tossing it to Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian caught it swiftly and put it on his finger, "Kid, this is my ring, could I..."

Xiao Jian's voice halted abruptly, his face changing slightly upon realizing the ring's pattern differed from his.

Immediately, he entered the ring's space, his expression shifting again. The space inside this ring was much smaller than his own, clearly not his.

Moreover, his ring was filled with gold coins and earth spirit stones, whereas this ring contained a mix of worthless items.

Jing Wuyan thought Xiao Jian was overly excited about finding his ring, and said, "Uncle Xiao, good that you found the ring. Actually, I found this ring..."

"This ring isn't mine," Xiao Jian suddenly said.
