Chapter 2042: Chapter 2042: Almost Turned Hostile Right Away
He thought of sparing her life, yet she had the audacity to target him. Could it be that she thinks she can control the entire Eternal Night Sect after his death?
What gave her the confidence? Did she rely on the support of the Fourth Elder and the others?
“I will make arrangements, the Fourth Elder and the rest should arrive tomorrow.” He said.
Yuu Rong’s eyes twinkled upon hearing the father and son’s conversation.
There was no doubt Lady Leng had poisoned him, but he was not to be underestimated. The principle of reciprocation was something he understood all too well.
Did she really think she could make a move on him without him retaliating?
He just had to wait and see Lady Leng’s ultimate fate. It was said that the Fourth Elder and the others were bound to die and Leng Yikun would be whisked away by his sister-in-law in a few days.
He wondered, if suddenly bombarded with such news, could Lady Leng bear it? Could she possibly go insane on the spot?
Heh, even if she didn’t go mad, his poison would drive Lady Leng completely crazy. A woman so full of malice only becomes harmless when insane, and only then could he rest assured.
If it were not for the fact that Leng Yikun still had his uses to his sister-in-law, he would have killed Lady Leng outright.
She dared to poison him! To poison him!
Had he not been an alchemist, he would have already turned into a stiff corpse by now. How could he possibly endure this?
He absolutely had to vent this pent-up rage!
…
The following day, the Second Elder set off early with Leng Yiyu.
To prevent any disruptions to her plans, Leng Yiyu had drugged her personal maid before departing, ensuring that she wouldn’t wake up for two days.
This way, even if Lady Leng’s people wanted to bring her back, they wouldn’t be able to catch up.
Once she canceled the arranged marriage, she could truly rest easy.
As for the Fourth Elder and the others, they returned very late in the afternoon. The Great Elder personally went to greet them; the two had barely met when an aura of combat arose, making the surrounding disciples sense a murderous aura.
“The Fourth Elder returns somewhat late, doesn’t he? What caused such a delay that the lady has been waiting anxiously?” The Great Elder wore a smile, but his sharp gaze seemed like it wanted to gouge chunks of flesh from the Fourth Elder’s body.
Although the Fourth Elder tried to remain calm in front of the Great Elder, when he thought of Lady Leng and how he had botched this mission, his face turned exceedingly sour.
Before he had left, Lady Leng had repeatedly instructed him to ensure that Leng Nicen was not taken back to the Eternal Night Sect.
But now, Leng Nicen had returned to the Eternal Night Sect unscathed, not a single injury on him. This was the most colossal failure of his life.
Thinking about facing Lady Leng next, he felt that he shouldn’t have returned so soon.
But he couldn’t stay away; he couldn’t stay outside for too long. Moreover, staying out longer would only make Lady Leng even more suspicious, and that was something he could not afford.
“The chief elder only went to take care of a minor matter for the lady; it would seem I’ve unnecessarily troubled the Great Elder, my apologies.” He would not admit that his venture was to pursue and kill the Great Elder and Leng Nicen.
This journey must not be associated with the Great Elder and his party in any way.
“Did the Great Elder bring back the Second Young Master?”
“Yes, I brought back the Young Sect Master. It’s good of the Fourth Elder to be concerned.” The Great Elder continued the conversation.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Elder’s face darkened, and he nearly lost his composure on the spot.
