"How could I possibly forget? You know the process of that great battle. If that boy surnamed Xue hadn’t relied on that armor, he would’ve struggled even in victory. And it was obvious that this armor was provided by the Lou Family, which just proves how powerful that item is!"
Si Yicheng chuckled slightly, "That’s not entirely impossible, but it’ll require some careful planning!"
"Hahaha, I knew nothing would be too difficult for you, great! As long as there’s hope of obtaining it, let’s continue drinking!"
The self-assured Si Daoyuan was extremely excited, even casting aside the grief of his legitimate son’s fall, and drank cup after cup.
Si Yicheng also seemed in high spirits today. Normally, he only sampled the alcohol, but today, in a rare departure, he would finish each glass and even offer toasts.
In just an hour or two, Si Daoyuan became thoroughly drunk, collapsing on the table, unconscious.
Although Si Daoyuan’s cultivation level isn’t considered high in the Sky Beyond the Skies, it’s not to the point of being this drunk.
Even his concubine, Nian Shuang, found it quite strange.
"Elder Si, why did the master get drunk so quickly today?" Nian Shuang asked with a smile.
But the next moment, her smile vanished.
Because at that moment, Si Yicheng slowly turned his head, and the previously smiling face lost all hint of joy. His eyes were as cold as ice.
"What did you say?"
Nian Shuang’s heart skipped a beat, and she forced a smile, "I was just wondering how the master got drunk so fast today, it’s really strange!"
"Strange? I don’t think so, because..." A strange gleam flickered in Si Yicheng’s eyes.
"This is exactly the result I wanted!"
Nian Shuang’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably, as she felt a bone-chilling coldness from Si Yicheng’s words.
"Wh... What do you mean? Elder Si, I don’t quite understand," Nian Shuang stammered.
Si Yicheng didn’t look at her, only coldly staring at the slumped Si Daoyuan, speaking indifferently, "A pouch of Xiaoyao Powder from the Qianji Valley’s Deadly Poison Elder is enough to bring down a primal beast. It’s quite remarkable you’ve only now fallen into a drunken stupor!"
Saying this, he slowly turned his head and gave Nian Shuang a slight smile, "What does the Second Madam think?"
But Nian Shuang couldn’t smile anymore. In fact, she was on the verge of tears.
"Si... Elder Si, what... what are you doing?" Nian Shuang asked with a tearful tone.
"Doing what? Naturally, saving the entire Si Family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the hall, and then Si Mingqi strode in.
Upon seeing him, Nian Shuang immediately understood many things, standing up abruptly, glaring at Si Yicheng with wide eyes.
"You... you actually conspired with this rebellious son, what are you really planning..."
Thud!
Before she could finish her sentence, a dagger emerged from her throat, blocking all words.
Nian Shuang’s mouth gaped open, blood quickly filling her mouth, then trickling from the corner, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Until now, she could not have imagined Si Mingqi would dare lay hands on her.
But Si Mingqi acted as though he was killing a pig or dog, his wrist flipping sharply, and the dagger stirred viciously in Nian Shuang’s throat.
After carving out a light-penetrating hole, Si Mingqi withdrew the dagger.
With a thud, Nian Shuang’s body hit the ground.
"Well done, Young Master! You’re truly a man of action; decisive and clean!" Si Yicheng clapped and praised.
