847 An Expert at Courting Death (1)

The moon was dark and the wind was strong. The Saintess quietly left the Sikong family and came to a luxurious courtyard in the south of the city.

In the courtyard, Sikong Yun was drinking and having fun with his new maidservant when the door was suddenly kicked open. The two of them were stunned.

The maidservant sat in Sikong Yun’s arms and glanced at the cold Saintess. She didn’t recognize her as the Saintess and thought that she was some new maidservant. She snorted angrily and said, “Can’t you see that Young Master is busy? You barged in rashly and didn’t know how to knock… Ah—”

The last exclamation became her last scream in the world.

The Saintess pulled out the dagger that was stabbed into her heart. The blood on the dagger dripped to the ground. When Sikong Yun was so frightened that he pushed the maidservant away, the blood dripped onto the maidservant’s face.

Sikong Yun’s face turned pale when he saw the scene in front of him. “You… Lan Ji, you’re crazy!”

This was a top-notch dagger. After a while, all the blood dripped down. The Saintess put the clean dagger back into its sheath and said coldly, “I’m not the crazy one, it’s you. At a time like this, you’re still in the mood to have fun with others?”

Sikong Yun cleared his throat. “Isn’t… isn’t it just two glasses of wine?”

The Saintess said coldly, “Are you really not anxious at all about someone occupying your identity?”

Sikong Yun snorted. “What’s there to be anxious about? Didn’t you say that your Lan family’s disguise technique will lose its effect in ten days to half a month! And you can’t use it a second time in the short term! In other words, after this period of time, the truth will come out!”

The Saintess could not agree with Sikong Yun’s concept. It was mainly because Sikong Yun and Yan Jiuchao did not have much of a grudge. Even if he was schemed against by Yan Jiuchao, it was not a life and death enmity. The Saintess was different. Thanks to Yan Jiuchao, not only was her innocence ruined by a trash like Sikong Yun, but even her pride and confidence were ruthlessly stepped on. She was unwilling.

There was also Yu Wan. She was actually pregnant with the Saint King. This would directly threaten her status in the Nether Capital, so she had to get rid of her no matter what!

The Saintess placed Sikong Yun’s dagger on the table.

Sikong Yun glanced at his dagger. He had many such divine weapons, so he didn’t care that the Saintess had taken one.

The Saintess sat down on the chair beside Sikong Yun. Seeing Sikong Yun’s dark expression, she raised her hand and poured him a glass of wine. “Do you have the expert your grandfather left for you?”

When Sikong Yun saw her pour wine for him, his expression softened. Actually, how could a mere maidservant be more important than his new wife? So what if she died? He was angry because this woman was too fierce and did not take him seriously.

Sikong Yun took a sip of wine and said indifferently, “Yes, I do. What do you want?”

“Lend it to me,” the Saintess said.

“No.” Sikong Yun refused without thinking.

“Why?” The Saintess asked.

Sikong Yun snorted. “That was left by my grandfather to save my life. Even my father doesn’t know. If my father finds out that I’m secretly hiding such a powerful expert, he’ll definitely suspect that I have ulterior motives! If he suspects me, he’ll suspect my grandfather. My grandfather gave me such a powerful expert. What do you think he’s up to? Do you think my father will think positively? Would my father still dare to pass the position of the family head to me?”

The Saintess said calmly, “Then aren’t you afraid that your family will pass the position of the family head to your brother in the next few days?”

Sikong Yun snorted and finished the wine in his glass in one gulp. “How is that possible? My father dotes on me the most!”

The Saintess filled his cup again. “What if you don’t want it and insist on giving it to him?”

“How can I not…” Sikong Yun was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something. His eyes widened as he said, “You mean… Yan Jiuchao deliberately gave in to my brother with my face?”

The Saintess said lightly, “That’s right. Why else do you think he entered the Sikong family? He pretended to be you, which is an unforgivable crime. What if you become the head of the Sikong family and deal with him later? But it’s different if your brother becomes the head of the family. Your brother will protect him and use the power of the entire Sikong family.”

Sikong Yun stood up. “This shameless person!”

Yan Jiuchao would not interfere in Sikong Yun’s internal affairs. Everything was just a malicious fabrication by the Saintess, but it seemed to be enough to fool Sikong Yun.
