Chapter 414: Si Jin’s Return 9
After Li Ruoxuan and Jiang Yeqian left the Qi Residence, Steward Zhang came to report that Xiao Wuji and some others were asking to see her. Qi Qingyao was slightly stunned. She thought, ‘They definitely have news.”
Steward Zhang led the few people in.
Xiao Wuji and the group sat down.
After Qi Qingyao called for someone to serve them tea, she did not ask them anything. She simply waited for them to start.
Si Jin sat beside Qi Qingyao. He was eating puffed rice candy and looking satisfied. He was obviously in an extremely good mood.
Xiao Wuji and co. looked at Si Jin, who looked indifferent with wide eyes. He did not look as if he had been injured at all, and they could not help but be completely stunned.
There were all sorts of questions running through their minds.
Was he really the one who killed Pang Juan?
Could he be so calm and completely unscathed, sitting here and eating snacks after killing a grand master and heavily injuring another? Was this some kind of a joke?
How was this possible?
He was not at all injured!!
The three of them were starting to lose their minds a little.
Qi Qingyao was not stupid. She of course understood what the three people were thinking, but she did not say nor ask much.
She just looked at them with a smile.
After a while, Xiao Wuji was the first to lift his head. He blinked with some effort and took a deep breath before opening his mouth to ask some questions.
Qi Qingyao listened to what he had to say.
She then handed the right to speak over to Si Jin.
Si Jin put down the puffed rice candy in his hand and answered them in a few words.
His answer was nothing more than confirming that he had indeed killed Pang Juan himself and that Gongsun She had been seriously injured and ran away…
Xiao Wuji again asked how he had killed him.
Si Jin said he had killed him with his hand.
That answer made Xiao Wuji frown. He then asked more.
Si Jin did not answer his further questions.
He just asked, “Do you want to personally experience how he died?”
Xiao Wuji, “…”
The three of them could no longer sit still after that. They immediately left the Qi residence.
Once they got onto their carriage, Xiao Wuji wiped the sweat from the back of his neck. He also wiped the sweat from his forehead. He said to the two, “You all heard what he said just now.”
Gu Cheng had not offended Si Jin just now, so his emotions were still calm. He said, “That child, he’s still so young, yet he possesses such terrifying power.”
Mo Yang frowned and added, “He also really likes the little lady.”
Xiao Wuji glanced at Mo Yang speechlessly, thinking, ‘What were you focusing on just now, huh?’ He said sternly, “Northern Liang really has sh*t luck to get such a powerful grand master out of nowhere.”
Gu Cheng sighed, already starting to accept reality. “Pang Juan is now dead. It is likely things are about to get flipped around.”
Xiao Wuji nodded and said, “The little empress of Northern Liang is going to die of joy now that Northern Liang has such an incredible G.o.d-like grand master.”
“No.” Mo Yang glanced at the scenery outside lazily. He said, “In my opinion, if the young man’s strength is really that terrifying, then he would not really be controlled by Northern Liang.”
Gu Cheng was puzzled and retorted, “But he is from Northern Liang. He will definitely work for the country.”
Mo Yang said, “Did you guys not see how he treated Qi Qingyao just now? He serves Qi Qingyao, not Northern Liang. He does whatever that little lady asks of him!”
Xiao Wuji thought about Mo Yang’s words.
Gu Cheng said, “Regardless of that, I sense he will be summoned by the empress soon. If he doesn’t go, then we’ll know where he stands.” His strength allowed him to ignore the empress. They could even exaggerate and say that he did not need to entertain the summons or opinions of anyone on the mainland at all. In theory, however, as a grand master of Northern Liang, he would definitely accept the empress’s summons. However, Gu Cheng believed he would not care about the empress’s opinion. Thinking about this, Gu Cheng felt his head hurt.
Xiao Wuji nodded and said, “Even the Zhaixing Administration wasn’t able to find anything out about Si Jin’s background. For a grand master of grand masters to appear out of thin air on the mainland, I’m afraid everyone won’t be able to sleep at night.”
They were thinking about different things.
What Mo Yang was wondering in his head was whether Si Jin liked that little lady. Considering how he was smiling so cutely in front of the little lady as well as eating all adorably.
A grand master, a young grand master!
He was definitely playing dumb to take advantage of her, judging from the way he was acting so cutely in front of the little lady.
Surely he had not had that simple of an expression on his face when killing someone…
Was it possible that the rumors out there were true, that the young grand master was more than a few hundred years old and had just regressed to youthfulness through cultivation, and that was why he looked young? The rumors even said that Qi Qingyao’s children were in fact his!
But that could not be possible…
Rather than say that the children were Si Jin’s, they might as well say that they were his.
They really looked like him, after all.
…
If Xiao Wuji and Gu Cheng learned of the thoughts in Mo Yang’s mind at the moment, they would definitely have complained that it was not the time to be worrying about such problems!
