Chapter 1977: Chapter 1977: Just Throw It to the Demonic Beasts for Feeding
“What kind of problem is that? Leng Nicen was just an accident. Sect Master Leng is still very chaste, doesn’t he have only one son, which is Leng Yikun?”
Of course, the accident that is Leng Nicen has now been discovered. As for whether there are other accidents, it’s really hard to say.
“It should be like that.”
He dared not be certain about this; such matters should be asked of their sect leader, who would definitely be able to answer.
As for how the servant who once washed feet—Leng Nicen’s mother—ended up with the sect leader, he was clueless. After all, who would care about the whereabouts of a servant serving their master?
An Jiuyue observed the elder’s reaction, retaining a rather positive impression of Sect Master Leng in his mind.
It seemed that the man in the secret chamber was most likely Leng Yikun.
But if he wasn’t dead, what was the need to hide him and tell everyone in the sect that he was dead? What was this scheme all about? Could it be to target Leng Nicen?
That seemed improbable. This secret chamber should belong to Sect Master Leng, and to Sect Master Leng, both Leng Yikun and Leng Nicen were his sons. He wouldn’t go so far as to kill one son for the sake of the other.
From the brief encounter earlier, Sect Master Leng seemed amiable, and not the same kind of person as those from the Thousands of Demons Sect.
“Could you talk about what kind of person Young Sect Master Yikun is?” she asked the Great Elder.
Hearing this, the Great Elder glanced at Leng Nicen once again.
He really didn’t want to bring up Young Sect Master Yikun in front of Leng Nicen, not because he hadn’t fulfilled the role well over the years, but rather because whether in conduct or interpersonal relations, he was extremely competent, without the slightest impropriety.
But since the question was posed by High Priest Demon Heart, he couldn’t just remain silent.
“Great Elder, please do tell. I would like to hear about it as well,” Leng Nicen interjected aptly.
He, too, wanted to know what his older brother would eventually represent in the hearts of the sect disciples. Since the outcome was already determined, he must accept it.
“This… well… okay.”
The Great Elder could only nod and then started to talk about Leng Yikun.
…
Elsewhere.
The maid of Leng Yiyu was kneeling on the cold stone floor, trembling.
“Useless creature, if you can’t even handle such a trivial matter, what’s the point of my keeping you around?” Lady Leng’s gloomy gaze fixed on the maid.
What she wanted was to hear news of that bastard dying from poison, but what this maid brought her instead was news that the people around Leng Nicen had discovered the poison and directly destroyed the luminous pearl.
All her long plotting, and still, that bastard Leng Nicen managed to see Leng Ye; what then was the point of all her scheming these past days?
“Mother, what’s the use of blaming her? Just throw her to the demonic beasts,” remarked Leng Yiyu indifferently, for the life and death of a maid meant nothing to her. Those who failed their duties deserved their fate.
“We’d better hurry and think of a way to kill that bastard. He’s probably already seen father by now. If father really starts caring for that bastard, we’ll lose all our chances.”
She reminded.
Lady Leng’s expression darkened, though how could she not understand this simple truth.
But understanding was one thing. Now that the person was already before Sect Master Leng, she couldn’t just seize him back. She could only think of a plan slowly.
“Yiyu, what’s going on with you? Have you been disobedient again, arguing with that bastard, causing the Great Elder to discover the poisoning?” she questioned her own daughter.
