Chapter 1994: Kill His Own Father
Chapter 1994: Chapter 1994: Kill His Own Father
Sect Master Leng was growing impatient; he had a lot of issues to deal with recently. A daughter who fails to consider his interests and seems intent on skinning a layer off him—he thought it rather generous of him to even consider marrying her off instead of contemplating other options.
However, thinking about Leng Yiyu’s troublesome nature, he couldn’t make the Second Elder too uncomfortable either.
What if Leng Yiyu agreed on the surface but ran away in secret? The Eternal Night Plane was vast; where would the Second Elder even begin to look for her?
In the Eternal Night Plane, the hardest thing was to travel outside.
“Second Elder, do not mention the matter of sending her off in marriage to Yiyu. Here’s what we’ll do, I will personally speak to her and say that I am sending you to break off the engagement, to bring apologies and gifts. As for what happens once you’re there, you’ll have to make your own decisions.”
Second Elder: “!!!”
Isn’t this akin to deceiving someone, to directly trick them into leaving?
“Sect Master, may I ask where the Young Miss has angered you?” He had to ask this question; without knowing the full story, he felt unequipped and anxious about handling the task.
“If she had merely angered me, that would be one thing,”
Sect Master Leng gritted his teeth, replying irritably as he shook his head repeatedly.
“I see her aiming for her father’s life. If she and her mother continue in this vein, they will bring down the Eternal Night Sect.”
That morning, he had received news that Leng Yiyu had let slip through the mouth of a kitchen maid in her residence that Yi Kun was still alive.
If he hadn’t ordered his people to suppress the information promptly, Lady Leng would have known by now that Yi Kun was not dead.
If Lady Leng became aware of this, it would certainly cause a huge commotion. It would not bode well for Yoo Nichen or Yi Kun, and the greatest beneficiary would undoubtedly be Leng Yiyu herself.
Moreover, he had just been informed that Leng Yiyu had threatened a pharmacist from the Sect with her family’s safety, forcing him to refine a certain type of medicinal pill.
It was a pill that could render a man infertile, and it was specifically designed for men.
What a daughter he had, not only plotting against her biological brother, but even contemplating drugging her own father. If this continued, was she planning to kill her very own father?
Seeing as the Sect Master had stated so, the Second Elder inquired no further.
The Eternal Night Sect was already in a perpetual state of commotion with Lady Leng around, and now, even Leng Yiyu, the Young Miss, had ended up like this.
“How should I address this with Lady Leng?”
At the mention of Lady Leng, Sect Master Leng took an even deeper breath.
“I will speak with Lady Leng myself. As for the outside world, spread the rumor that I have loaned out the Qe Mingmu, specifically to those two friends brought back by Nichen.”
Lady Leng might indeed suspect that he was not sending Leng Yiyu to break off an engagement, but rather to marry her off.
But if there was something even more significant than Leng Yiyu, something that occupied all of Lady Leng’s thoughts, she wouldn’t give a second thought to Leng Yiyu’s affairs.
By the time she realized what was happening, Leng Yiyu would have long since departed, and even if Lady Leng sent someone after her, they would not be able to catch up.
And what could distract Lady Leng more than the Qe Mingmu? He hadn’t realized before, but now it seemed clear that his wife had married him not just because he was the current sect master of the Eternal Night Sect, but also for the Qe Mingmu.
“In a couple of days, the Fourth Elder and the others should also be returning. Arrange their whereabouts discreetly; I do not wish to see any more elders or disciples in the Eternal Night Sect who are disloyal to me and the Young Sect Master.”
He added another instruction.
