Chapter 1980: Chapter 1980: Years of Youth, All Wasted
In a place where no one could see, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself, “This High Priest Demon Heart is truly not to be underestimated.”
But why would she so directly point out that Yi Kun had not died? What was her purpose?
Was it for Leng Nicen?
Even if Yi Kun had not died, Leng Nicen was still going to become the Young Sect Master of the Eternal Night Sect. That much would not change, because Yi Kun’s body was truly beyond help.
But he didn’t dare to say this to the High Priest Demon Heart in front of so many people.
It would be better to find a time when no one else was around to tell the High Priest Demon Heart about Yi Kun’s survival.
…
“You mean, the High Priest knows that I’m not dead?”
Leng Yikun’s eyes flickered, somewhat puzzled. How could the High Priest Demon Heart know he was alive while he was in the secret chamber?
Could the High Priest Demon Heart be able to divine the future? Or was there, apart from his father, someone else within the Eternal Night Sect who knew he was alive and wanted to use this information against Leng Nicen?
“Could mother possibly know I’m still alive?” he asked quietly.
“Impossible.”
Sect Master Leng immediately denied it.
That woman couldn’t possibly know of Yi Kun’s survival. If she did, she would be even more arrogant and domineering. It wouldn’t just be assassination attempts and poisoning.
“Your mother won’t know. On that day, there was no one else but me.”
“Then how could the High Priest Demon Heart know?” Leng Yikun was even more confused.
“No matter how she found out, you must meet with the High Priest,” said Sect Master Leng.
Since the High Priest Demon Heart had already openly mentioned it, if he did not take Leng Yikun to meet with the High Priest, they might never receive the protection of Wulong Mountain for the Eternal Night Sect in the future.
“So, when should we meet?” Leng Yikun asked.
“Let’s do it early this morning,” Sect Master Leng thought for a moment and said.
Once everyone had rested, he would take Yi Kun to see the High Priest Demon Heart. It would be better for everyone that way.
“Alright then.”
Leng Yikun had no objections and nodded.
…
Meanwhile, as Sect Master Leng was meeting with Leng Yikun, the news that the Qe Mingmu had been taken was already known to Lady Leng.
She didn’t know to whom the Qe Mingmu was given, so she convinced herself that as soon as Leng Nicen arrived, the Qe Mingmu was taken away. It must have been Sect Master Leng who gave the Qe Mingmu to Leng Nicen.
At that moment, her heart was filled with infinite resentment, wishing she could kill Sect Master Leng on the spot.
Her son had been denied even a touch of the Qe Mingmu for so many years, yet Leng Nicen, that bastard child, had just arrived, and Sect Master Leng had already handed it over.
“He dares! He really dares to give away the Qe Mingmu. Doesn’t he have any regard for me, his wife? Did he not think to discuss such matters with me?”
Inside her own room, smashing everything that could be smashed wasn’t enough to vent her inner fury, and she continued her tirade with curses.
The maidservant who couldn’t dodge in time also took a hit, her entire arm looking as if it were soaked in blood, yet she dared not move for fear of inviting further misfortune.
“The Qe Mingmu should only be given to my child. Doesn’t Leng Ye realize that? My Yiyu is still alive and well, so why would he give the Qe Mingmu to that bastard?
What does he take me for, after having been married to him for so many years and giving him the best years of my life, all for nothing?
Leng Ye, why don’t you go die? You…”
“Madam, Madam, please stop cursing, stop cursing.”
