In the deep mountains, Yan Qiqi walked alongside Qin Tian, chatting and laughing until they finally stopped in front of a small courtyard.
Looking around, Qin Tian noticed that this place felt somewhat eerie.
Since someone had deliberately orchestrated such a grand play, he was determined to uncover who the mastermind was.
He decided to play along.
“Father, Mother, Brother, Qiqi is back!”
Yan Qiqi stood at the door and called out to the house.
“Qiqi is back?”
The door swung open, and an ancient figure slowly emerged.
It was a middle-aged woman.
“Qiqi, who is this?”
The middle-aged woman saw Yan Qiqi and was about to express her joy when she noticed Qin Tian standing behind her.
“This is my savior. Without him, I would never have returned.”
Yan Qiqi rushed forward, crying as she buried herself in the woman's embrace.
"Don't worry, don't worry. It's our benefactor! Come in quickly. Old man, come out to greet our guest."
The middle-aged woman affectionately hugged Yan Qiqi and called out to the inside of the house.
"This is a normal reaction, right? Am I mistaken?"
Qin Tian thought to himself, feeling somewhat puzzled.
All these events seemed strange, yet they somehow felt like they were meant to happen.
Following Yan Qiqi and her mother, Qin Tian arrived at the doorway.
Inside the house, two men, one old and one young, were sitting on the floor, seemingly discussing something.
The older man looked up and happened to see Qin Tian.
Instinctively, he shifted back a little.
Realizing his reaction was a bit unusual, he awkwardly smiled and stood up to approach Qin Tian.
"May I ask who you are?"
"I am Qin, in front of your father-in-law; I dare not call you 'sir.'"
Qin Tian clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.
The father-in-law nodded and gestured to the young man beside him. "This is my son, Yan Wu. You must already know my daughter. I am Yan San."
Qin Tian nodded, but he couldn't help feeling a bit amused.
The names of this family were indeed peculiar.
The father was named Yan San, the son Yan Wu, and the daughter Yan Qiqi.
“Wife, hurry up and prepare the meal.”
Yan San waved his hand, and Madam Yan smiled as she walked into the kitchen.
Yan Qiqi chuckled and looked up at Qin Tian. “Benefactor, I’ll go help in the kitchen.”
Qin Tian instinctively clenched his fist but ultimately relaxed it.
In the living room, three men were chatting casually.
However, the atmosphere in the kitchen was entirely different.
“Mother, do you think he looks like anyone?”
Yan Qiqi's delicate face no longer bore any softness.
It was filled with a wicked charm.
“Is it that Qin Tian from the Celestial Gate's wanted notice?”
The middle-aged woman seemed uncertain.
“That’s him!”
Yan Qiqi snorted lightly and clenched her small fist.
"Ha ha, it seems our family has a chance to step into the Celestial Gate!"
The middle-aged woman was quite pleased.
"Father almost entered the Celestial Gate back in the day, and my brother was just one step away. For the sake of our family, even though I have talent, I still didn't join any Celestial Gate. Now, with two major Celestial Gates issuing bounties, once we capture Qin Tian, we can fulfill any request. Our family's wishes finally have a chance of coming true!"
Yan Qiqi's lips curled into a faint smile.
"Then, poison the food?"
The middle-aged woman seemed a bit flustered.
"Poisoning the food is too obvious; he might cunningly place it in our bowls. Let's put it in the wine!"
Yan Qiqi stood up and began preparing the meal.
The middle-aged woman picked up a jar of wine from the ground and then took out a pill from her bosom.
She tossed it into the wine.
"This is a Poison Pill I found on the corpse of a Celestial Gate disciple. Once ingested, as long as he is in the Channeling Realm, he will be completely powerless for three hours, losing all his cultivation. Of course, it only lasts for three hours."
The middle-aged woman chuckled lightly.
"Three hours is enough! Let's hurry and prepare; we can't let him notice. He is our family's hope for prosperity."
Yan Qiqi diligently prepared the meal, and before long, everything was ready.
She nodded to the middle-aged woman, and together they walked out of the kitchen.
"Thank you for your patience; the meal is finally ready. I wonder if it suits your taste, my benefactor!"
Yan Qiqi changed into her gentle demeanor once again, lightly leaning against Qin Tian's leg.
A waft of fragrance drifted over, and Qin Tian coughed lightly. Fortunately, having been a prince in his youth, he had gained quite a bit of experience with such matters.
Otherwise, he might have truly fallen for it.
"This meal looks good; I just hope the flavors align with my palate!" Qin Tian said softly, his gaze shifting to Yan Qiqi and Madam Yan.
Madam Yan's expression showed no signs of anything unusual.
Yan Qiqi also seemed unaffected.
It appeared that the food was fine.
But what about the wine?
"Come, come, let's drink before the meal; it will enhance the flavors," Yan San said, understanding the look in Yan Qiqi's eyes.
He took a jar of wine from Madam Yan and placed it in front of Qin Tian.
Then he received a second jar from Madam Yan and set it before himself.
Qin Tian clearly noticed that his jar of wine was placed in the second position.
When Yan San took the wine, Madam Yan directly handed the jar to him.
It was a trap!
However, Qin Tian was extremely composed, showing no signs of suspicion on his face. He decisively lifted the jar of wine and fixed his gaze on Yan San's face.
"Lord Yan San, since we're drinking, we should drink to our heart's content. Shall we down it in one go?"
Qin Tian was certainly capable of drinking; it was just that he usually focused on his cultivation and had little time for such indulgences.
"Sounds good!"
Yan San raised the wine jar and clinked it with Qin Tian's.
To avoid raising Qin Tian's suspicions, Yan San tilted his head back and poured the wine straight into his stomach.
Qin Tian deliberately kept an eye on things and noticed that Yan Qiqi and Madam Yan were not looking at Yan San but were instead staring intently at him.
"Benefactor? Why aren't you drinking? Don't be coy now; my father is about to finish."
Yan Qiqi seemed quite anxious. Although her expression showed no change, her tone was slightly hurried.
"I'm just afraid I can't handle my liquor and might embarrass myself!"
Qin Tian didn't hesitate either. He tilted his head back, mimicking Yan San, and poured the wine forcefully into his stomach.
However, within him, the Golden Bones and Golden Battle Blood, along with over a hundred Meridians, were rapidly circulating, condensing all the wine together and gathering it at his Dantian.
"Refreshing!"
Yan San finished his drink and set the wine jar aside.
Immediately, everyone at the table turned their attention to Qin Tian.
Bang!
The wine jar smashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.
Qin Tian wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and smiled as he said, "Don't just look at me, eat your food."
Qin Tian deliberately avoided fainting, which only made everyone at the table anxious.
Yan Qiqi looked at Madam Yan in shock.
Even Yan San and Yan Wu turned their gazes toward Madam Yan's face.
Madam Yan shook her head lightly, looking quite innocent.
"Eat more vegetables, eat more vegetables."
To cover up the awkwardness, Yan San stood up and began serving vegetables into Qin Tian's bowl.
Qin Tian nodded but couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
These people were too transparent; their emotions were practically written all over their faces.
It was just too easy!
Forget it!
Thud.
Qin Tian finally slumped onto the table.
The tension in the room eased at last.
"Mother, this elixir of yours is really terrible, isn't it?" Yan Qiqi said awkwardly.
"Old woman, you need to be more efficient in your work from now on. You almost ruined everything," Yan San shook his head, speaking with exasperation.
"Should we report to the two major Celestial Gates now?" Yan Wu licked his lips.
"We only have three hours, hurry up!" Yan San turned and went to the Inner Room to change clothes.
Yan Wu went to make the report, while Yan Qiqi and Madam Yan also moved to another room to change.
"This family has almost zero acting skills. Sigh..." Qin Tian muttered to himself. To be honest, he had a bit of expectation for their acting abilities.
It seemed quite bad now.
Before long, Yan San, Yan Qiqi, and Madam Yan emerged from the Inner Room, all dressed in dark night attire, making them look quite sharp.
"Alright, I've reported it; they'll be here soon!" Yan Wu chuckled, revealing a set of white teeth.
"Stop dawdling, hurry up and change clothes. Get ready to carry him into the Celestial Gate," Yan San waved his hand, signaling Yan Wu to change.
A moment later, Qin Tian's neck was nearly sore from waiting when finally someone arrived in the courtyard.
"They're here!"
Yan San, Yan Wu, Yan Qiqi, and Madam Yan quickly pushed open the door to greet the cultivators entering the yard.
Thirteen cultivators in total.
The leading young man appeared to be at the peak of the Seventh Layer of Meridian Opening.
"Is this the guy?" The young man pointed at Qin Tian, who was slumped over the table.
"Yes, that's him. Qin Tian!"
Yan San licked his lips, speaking with anticipation.
"I am Sun Zixiao, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Ziyang Immortal Sect. I can grant you one wish now."
Sun Zixiao looked down at the family before him with an air of superiority.
"Can we all join the Ziyang Immortal Sect?"
Yan San stared eagerly at Sun Zixiao.
"Sure! But..." Sun Zixiao smirked disdainfully, his sword gleaming in his hand.
"But? What do you mean?"
Yan Qiqi was taken aback.
"But it will be in your next life!"
As soon as Sun Zixiao's words fell, he suddenly thrust his sword forward.
Yan San, who was close by, felt his courage shatter and instinctively recoiled. However, the sword light surged through the air, aimed directly at his chest.
"I think you should consider my feelings as well, shouldn't you?"
At that moment, Qin Tian, who had been lying on the table, suddenly opened his eyes.
A purple arc of electricity shot out and collided with Sun Zixiao's sword light.
Both were utterly annihilated.
"You?"
Yan San, Yan Wu, Yan Qiqi, and Madam Yan were all startled and fell to the ground as Qin Tian suddenly stood up.
The person they had been scheming against was now the one saving them.
"It seems you really are Qin Tian. However, today you won't escape!"
Sun Zixiao sneered as he spoke.
"I must say, your parents naming you that is already quite unfortunate. Do you really listen to them? Really laugh? Now, it seems you've truly become a laughingstock."
Qin Tian shook his head, expressing his sentiments.
