Chapter 1976: Chapter 1976: The Deceased Should Be Respected, Shouldn’t They?
…
In the stone chamber, An Jiuyue held a teacup in her hands, remaining silent and feeling unease towards the Great Elder.
An Jiuyue’s silence wasn’t intentional; it was just that, in this stone chamber, Wei Na had sensed a secret passage and then saw a person through it.
She was currently discussing with Wei Na about the gravely ill man.
“A man on the brink of death, kept inside a secret chamber, what exactly does Sect Master Leng intend to do? Moreover, this person, master, this person bears a striking resemblance to Sect Master Leng.”
Wei Na said teasingly, as he continued to watch the man in the secret chamber.
Of course, aside from him observing the man, there was also Dragon Soul in Qian Jiyun’s space, who was communicating with his master at the moment.
“Master, a preliminary guess suggests that this man should be Sect Master Leng’s son,” Dragon Soul said to his master.
“Sect Master Leng’s son? Leng Yikun?”
Qian Jiyun murmured softly and looked up into the eyes of his wife.
It seemed she also knew about the man in the secret chamber. He just didn’t understand what Sect Master Leng was thinking. A man still alive, yet a funeral had been held, announcing to the world that Leng Yikun was already dead.
“Great Elder, as I have heard, Young Sect Master Yikun of the Eternal Night Sect passed away from an illness?” He looked at the Great Elder and asked.
“Uh.”
The Great Elder was choked by his question.
Instinctively, he glanced at Leng Nicen before turning back to Qian Jiyun.
“Yes, my lord, Young Sect Master Yikun was frail since birth, and relied on medicine every day to survive. A few days ago, he couldn’t hold on any longer, alas.”
He let out a sigh.
Regarding the former Young Sect Master, he still felt it was a pity; he was a talented person, if only his body were not so weak.
“Did you personally witness his last breath?” An Jiuyue asked him.
“This…”
The Great Elder did not expect the High Priest Demon Heart to ask such a question, and his expression turned a bit unsightly.
“Yes, High Priest, the Sect Master, several other elders, and I all witnessed it with our own eyes. Young Sect Master Yikun passed away from his illness.” He didn’t understand why the two were bringing up Young Sect Master Yikun.
With the person already dead, it wasn’t appropriate to drag out his name again, was it? The dead should be respected, right?
However, it was clear that An Jiuyue and Qian Jiyun did not share this sentiment. Hearing the Great Elder’s words, the look of interest on An Jiuyue’s face grew even more intense.
Everyone had witnessed the death, yet the person was still alive. This was indeed a very interesting turn of events.
Or could it be that the person in the secret chamber wasn’t Leng Yikun but another son of Sect Master Leng? But was that possible?
“Your Sect Master Leng only has one wife, correct?” she asked.
“Yes, the Sect Master only has one wife,” the Great Elder nodded.
Speaking of Lady Leng, the expression on the Great Elder’s face was really complicated.
Ordinarily, aside from treating the eldest daughter extremely well, even the sickly Young Sect Master Yikun was mostly neglected. It was only when Yikun truly couldn’t hold on much longer and was nearing his last breath that she became anxious and called for numerous doctors.
She even pleaded with the Sect Master to save Young Sect Master Yikun the way Lian Qingyi did.
He found it laughable; if Young Sect Master Yikun were saved like Lian Qingyi’s son, would he still be human? Wouldn’t he become a monster?
“So, aside from Young Sect Master Yikun and Leng Nicen, Sect Master Leng has no other offspring, correct?” An Jiuyue asked again.
“Uh.”
The Great Elder was truly choked up.
