Chapter 2001: Don't Want to Be That Scapegoat

Chapter 2001: Chapter 2001: Don’t Want to Be That Scapegoat

“Sect Master, how should we address the matter with Young Sect Master Yi Kun?”

“The issue with Yi Kun will be dealt by this Sect Master personally. You go and take care of those who do not belong to our sect. Make sure not a single one is missed,” Sect Master Leng ordered.

This morning, the matter concerning the Fourth Elder had already been handed over to the Great Elder by the Second Elder, and so he directly gave the command to the Great Elder to handle it.

“Be cautious with Nichen, make sure he does not get implicated.”

“Yes, Sect Master.”

The Great Elder responded once again; he naturally paid the utmost attention to Leng Nichen’s matter.

…

Elsewhere, in Lady Leng’s courtyard, Leng Yiyu arrived as soon as Lady Leng had left.

Entering her mother’s room, she felt no guilt of a thief, swingingly preparing to enter; unexpectedly, she was stopped by the disciples guarding the door.

“Miss, the Lady is not in her room at the moment, please return.”

The disciples spoke somewhat assertively, intending to send Leng Yiyu away as the nanny had given instructions.

These disciples of the Eternal Night Sect showed respect to Miss Leng Yiyu on the surface, but that was only superficial; in secret, none truly esteemed her.

This Miss, with undeveloped limbs and an even simpler mind, aside from the identity of the sect’s heiress, she was nothing else.

“Do you think this Miss is not aware my mother is not here? Do I need you to remind me?”

Leng Yiyu, being blocked, glared displeasedly at the straight-laced and stern-faced disciple.

“If mother is not here, can’t I go in and wait for her? Do you not know that mother has gone to father’s Stone Chamber? They never get along; mother will definitely be angry when she returns.

This Miss is going into mother’s room to wait for her, so I can speak kind words to comfort her when she comes back. Is that not allowed?”

She was being barred by just a disciple, who seemed to be too impatient to live. Her complexion turned sour. Was she really expected to be deterred by a mere disciple when entering her own mother’s room?

Upon hearing her words, the disciple inwardly sneered.

The way she spoke, it seemed as though she really cared about Lady Leng, her mother.

In reality, wasn’t it all just to get something from Lady Leng’s room? It wasn’t the first time the Miss had done such a thing; would they believe her now?

“Miss, please don’t make it difficult for a disciple. The nanny previously ordered that if you came, we cannot allow you to enter the Lady’s room,” the disciple said.

“You—”

Leng Yiyu was infuriated upon hearing this.

Why shouldn’t she be allowed in? She used to enter as she pleased! This was her mother’s room!

“The words of a nanny seem quite meaningful to you. Do you believe that if you don’t let this Miss in, I can make it so you cannot stay within the Eternal Night Sect any longer?”

She stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at the disciple, threatening.

“Get out of the way, this Miss wants to enter!”

“Miss, even if it means I can no longer stay in the Eternal Night Sect, I still cannot let you in at this moment. Please wait here in the courtyard. Maybe the Lady will return shortly.”

The disciple didn’t dare to let her in; it wasn’t without precedent that the Lady had blamed the disciples for missing items after they had allowed the Miss in.

He wasn’t willing to be the scapegoat and risk his life for it.

Moreover, he knew well that there was nothing of value in the Lady’s room. Over the years, any items of worth had been moved to her daughter-in-law’s family; what could possibly be left?
