Chapter 2412: Chapter 2413: Take Action
"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.
Si Mingqi’s face showed no expression at all, "She was just a bitch flaunting with the Family Head’s power, killing her was no effort at all!"
As he spoke, Si Mingqi wiped the dagger, approaching the snoring, drunk Si Daoyuan at the table.
"Now, the critical issue is, how should he be dealt with?"
Si Yicheng chuckled, "How to deal with him? I believe Young Master has already decided!"
"I’ve fulfilled my promise, so what to do next is between you and your father."
Si Mingqi nodded, "Okay!"
As the word fell, he swiftly raised the dagger, slashing towards Si Daoyuan.
The speed was as if a sharp flash had been struck.
Si Yicheng didn’t even blink, confident that Si Mingqi would be measured in his actions.
Though he deeply hated Si Daoyuan, he wouldn’t kill him just yet.
As expected.
The dagger missed Si Daoyuan’s vital points, merely touching a pressure point.
Thud!
With the muffled sound of flesh being cut.
Blood splattered, and Si Daoyuan’s body trembled violently.
But even so, under the dual effects of the drug and the alcohol, he didn’t wake up.
Seeing this, Si Yicheng couldn’t help but sigh softly, "To destroy all his cultivation, your hatred is indeed intense!"
As he spoke, Si Mingqi repeatedly wielded the dagger, filling the room with the macabre symphony of flesh.
Blood flew, and Si Mingqi’s face was full of madness.
Finally.
After the final stab, Si Mingqi stepped back, slightly out of breath.
Looking at Si Daoyuan again, his body was soaked in blood; crucially, as one blood-gushing wound after another appeared, his aura was rapidly waning, dissipating.
Finally, when the last trace of aura disappeared.
Si Daoyuan groaned in pain, then slowly awakened.
His memory pinpointed to the scene before he got drunk, while the pain all over made him feel like he had a nightmare.
"What’s going on? How did I get this drunk?" Si Daoyuan groaned.
Si Yicheng smiled slightly, "Family Head, sorry, your son seems to have issues with you. Don’t blame me; after all, we’re thinking about the long-term interests of the Si Family!"
Upon hearing this, Si Daoyuan trembled violently, then realized his body was covered in blood, crying out in alarm.
"You... what do you want to do? Ah wuwuwu..."
His words were cut off, turning into painful sobs because, at that moment, Si Mingqi plunged a dagger into Si Daoyuan’s mouth, twisting it forcefully.
The dagger severed his teeth and tongue.
His eyes widened at the sight of Si Mingqi, as if seeing him for the first time.
Si Mingqi’s face was cold, "No need to look at me that way. If it weren’t for handing you over, you’d already be dead!"
