Chapter 2045: Chapter 2045: Only Leng Yikun is dead
“Young Sect Master, are you really not dead?”
What on earth is going on, how could Leng Yikun still be alive?
If Leng Yikun is not dead, then what does it mean for the Sect Master to have the Great Elder bring Leng Nichen back? Are they supposed to compete fairly?
But these two people are inherently different. Leng Nichen is just an illegitimate child; how could he be compared with Leng Yikun, the legitimate son of the Sect Master?
Moreover, Leng Yikun has been nurtured by the Sect Master since he was young and grew up alongside the disciples of the Sect.
Who doesn’t support Leng Yikun?
“I’m not dead, but you are about to be.”
Leng Yikun’s gaze was slightly dark as he looked at the Fourth Elder.
“For your own selfish desires, you pursued and tried to kill the heir of the Sect. Fourth Elder, are you aware of your crimes?”
“I…”
The Fourth Elder opened his mouth, wanting to say that he did it following Lady Leng’s orders.
He was completely trying to stand up for Leng Yikun, the Young Sect Master. How has it become his fault?
But at this moment, he truly couldn’t utter a single word. After all, by helping Lady Leng, he had his own motive, which others might not know, but Leng Yikun was aware of it.
He thought that with Leng Yikun’s death, his secret would never be revealed.
Little did he know, Leng Yikun was still alive!
How could he still be alive? This is wrong; Leng Yikun was supposed to die. Only with Leng Yikun’s death could he live in peace, only after killing Leng Nichen would he be able to sleep soundly.
“Ugh.”
With this thought, he could no longer hold himself up, clutching his churning chest and collapsing onto the ground.
“Spurt!”
He spewed another mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes fixed dead on Leng Yikun, wishing he could kill him with the daggers of his gaze so that his secret would remain unknown.
“Ahh!”
Just as he was calculating how to survive and how to kill Leng Yikun, he heard a scream.
It was Lady Leng. Having received the news that the Fourth Elder and the others had returned, she was initially waiting in her own courtyard. However, she had just received a report from the nanny that her son went to meet the Fourth Elder in person.
She didn’t dare delay and rushed over, because part of the secret involving the Fourth Elder also involved her.
Little did she know, upon arrival, what she saw was the Fourth Elder vomiting black blood, kneeling on one knee, apparently poisoned.
And what poison might that be?
She knew the poison all too well. Wasn’t it the same one that she used, through Leng Yiyu, to try to kill Leng Nichen?
Previously, it was said that the poison had no effect because there was a powerful pharmacist by Leng Nichen’s side. She had witnessed it herself; that Yuu Rong was indeed powerful, and her potent poison had no effect on him.
But now, who could tell her why the Fourth Elder and his party were poisoned with this very substance?
“Fourth Elder, who was it, who poisoned you?” She rushed toward the Fourth Elder in a panic and asked.
At this moment, the Fourth Elder was in so much pain that he couldn’t speak; he could only direct his gaze onto the Great Elder Baili Ying, signalling to Lady Leng that it was the Great Elder who had poisoned him.
“Great Elder, it was you!”
Lady Leng also realized the truth, her eyes filled with rage as she looked toward Baili Ying.
But at this moment, she had a more pressing matter, which was to administer the antidote to the Fourth Elder and the others. She didn’t carry the antidote with her and had to take the Fourth Elder and his party back to her own courtyard to administer the antidote.
