The villainous simp ignores the plot and mercilessly torments the female lead to tears.

After hearing Qin Yan's words, Ji Wendao fell silent and began to ponder.

After a long while, he slowly raised his head: "I have indeed not experienced what you are talking about. After all, the Ji family would not allow me to experience such a situation."

"Perhaps, as you said, I haven't had that experience, so I don't have such an eagerness to become stronger, to the point that I don't dare to waste even a single moment."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "You really can't experience this. What I just told you was a conservative estimate. The actual situation is much more severe than I described. Let me put it this way: the Heavenly Dao of the small world I live in is on the opposite side of me. It has always been targeting me and my family."

"Heaven wanted to destroy me, but I still won. I defeated Heaven."

Upon hearing Qin Yan's words, Ji Wendao instantly understood. He might not know the other details, but since even the Heavenly Dao had intervened to take sides, the situation was indeed dangerous.

Moreover, Qin Yan was able to defeat all his opponents under the threat of the Heavenly Dao, which can only mean that Qin Yan's talent is indeed heaven-defying, and his heart of a strongman is truly invincible.

Ji Wendao laughed and said, "You rascal, aren't you just putting more pressure on me by telling me all this? You brat, just you wait and see. I am a top genius after all. Although you are cultivating faster now, I believe that my final achievements will definitely not be inferior to yours."

Qin Yan smiled and said, "Okay, my brother-in-law."

Upon hearing Qin Yan call him "brother-in-law," Ji Wendao was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: "Haha, good, I'm glad you acknowledge this relationship."

The two continued their conversation, mostly about cultivation. These experiences provided Ji Wendao with many insights, and on several occasions, Qin Yan's experiences gave him sudden realizations and new understandings.

More than two hours later, a maid came and told them:

"Young Master Qin Yan, Young Master Wen, the head of the family sent me to tell you that the banquet is ready and we would like to invite you both to come and have a meal."

Ji Wendao stood up and patted Qin Yan on the shoulder: "Come on, we have to have a good drink today."

Qin Yan also stood up: "How could I dare refuse my brother-in-law's request?"

The two looked at each other and laughed together, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

However, the two left soon after and walked side by side toward the reception hall.

When Qin Yan arrived at the hall, there were already many people there; almost all the high-ranking members of the Ji family were present.

The group included the family head Ji Tianchen, a host of elders, the Supreme Elder, and even Qin Yan saw two of the Ji family's ancestors there.

Clearly, Qin Yan's current strength and status make him somewhat unworthy of being a senior elder.

The Ji family's patriarch sat in the main seat, with another patriarch sitting to his left, while the seat to his right was empty.

Besides the two of them, there were several elders and the family head Ji Tianchen at the table. It could be said that this table was the core of the Ji family's power.

Upon seeing Qin Yan and Ji Wendao arrive, the patriarch Ji Zhou, seated at the head of the table, smiled and said, "Qin Yan is here. Come and sit here."

"You've come too, asking questions."

Actually, Ji Wendao is not qualified to sit next to Ji Zhou yet, but since the two came in together and seemed to be chatting happily, they would definitely not let Ji Wendao sit at another table.

Qin Yan walked up with a smile and cupped his hands to Ji, saying, "It was my fault for making the Ancestor wait for me here. I was discussing cultivation matters with my brother-in-law and forgot the time. It was truly a sin."

Upon hearing Qin Yan's address, everyone present paused for a moment, then smiles appeared on their faces.

Qin Yan actually addressed Ji Wendao as his brother-in-law, which shows that this genius Qin Yan highly regards the Ji family, especially Ji Wendao.
