Eleven wasn't stupid. After a moment of contemplation, his expression shifted. "Si Bayi?!"
"Where's Eldest Brother?" Lin Que asked curiously.
Eleven shook his head with a frown. Eldest Brother left the Si residence a long time ago and didn't inform him of his destination...
"It's just as I've been telling you, Seventh Brother, anything that comes out of Eldest Brother's mouth is nonsense and more nonsense... Think about itSi Bayi is the eldest son of the Si family but the position of Patriarch Si got usurped* by Ninth Brother, so how could he be happy about it? And he himself isn't capable at much; his strength is his ability to drive a wedge between people," Lin Que explained exasperatedly.
"Then why didn't you kill Eldest Brother?" Eleven asked.
"Kill Si Bayi?" Lin Que pursed his lips. "Seventh Brother, the things you say. Ninth Brother can't kill Eldest Brother just because he likes to sow dissension when he himself hasn't done anything out of line, right?"
"So... you're saying I was deceived by Eldest Brother...?" A cold glint flashed through Eleven's eyes.
"Isn't that obvious?" Ye Wanwan retorted.
Upon seeing the misunderstanding resolved, Si Yehan slowly stood up and said to Eleven, "Old Seven, I'll leave the Si family to you from now on."
"Old Nine... I... But in the end, you still killed Old Eight..." Eleven gritted his teeth.
Si Yehan expressionlessly replied, "He wanted to kill me. I gave him too many chances, but it was all futile."
"Is that so..." Eleven murmured softly.
If it was really as Si Yehan said, then Eighth Brother did deserve to die. The true kin-slayer wasn't Si Yehan; it was Eighth Brother... Si Yehan was merely forced...
"Old Seven, take good care of Grandmother... The Si family will rely on you from now on." After saying that, Si Yehan looked at Ye Wanwan and asked, "Do you still remember our promise?"
