Chapter 410 - Si Jins Return 5

Si Jin turned to look at the two old men. He said, “You two! If we’re gonna fight, let’s go fight at Qingyang Lake.”

Pang Juan nodded and replied, “I like that suggestion.”

“Let’s go.” Gongsun She was also ready to go.

This made Li Ruoxuan beyond ecstatic. He immediately asked them how they were going to get there. Were they going to walk or take the carriage?

Pang Juan and Gongsun She turned around and looked at Li Ruoxuan as if they were looking at an idiot. Then, they immediately flew up and left from the rooftop. Pang Juan’s gradually drifting voice echoed in the air.

“We’ll wait for you on Qingyang Lake!”

Qi Qingyao was so mad she shouted into the air, “Two against one? Do you two old men have no shame?”

Gongsun She was already far away, but his gentle reply still came from a distance, “He already made himself heard! He thinks he can beat the two of us alone. Of course the two of us have to join forces to kill this spring chicken before he gets too big for his boots…”

“How shameless.” Qi Qingyao stomped the ground angrily.

With those words, Si Jin also wanted to fly up and leave, but Qi Qingyao pulled him back.

Qi Qingyao said seriously, “You’re not allowed to get hurt!!”

“Don’t worry, Sister!” Si Jin unloaded an aura that penetrated his whole body and emphasized his cute and obedient grinning face. He said with a smile, “Those two old men want to take you away. My goal today is to kill one of them and heavily injure the other.”

Jiang Yeqian sneered. “You’re actually spouting so much nonsense.”

Li Ruoxuan asked in disbelief, “Can he really kill one and heavily injure the other?”

Steward Zhang bumped into a pillar, utterly confused as he murmured, “Isn’t this too much?”

Zhu Shen replied helplessly, “It’s not just too much.”

The corners of Zhao Xin’s mouth twitched. “This bubble he’s inflating is close to bursting.”

Qi Qingyao heard everyone express their thoughts, so she also asked somewhat embarrassedly, “Do you think he has too much faith in himself?”

Si Jin leaned into Qi Qingyao’s ear and said one thing softly, “I have an advantage when it comes to battles on water~”

Qi Qingyao’s eyes sparkled as she looked at him again, a little doubt still in her eyes.

She did not understand why he would have an advantage in a battle on water.

Even if he could swim…

It would not really help much in this situation!

Si Jin did not explain himself, simply turning to ask Li Ruoxuan, “State Preceptor, should I kill Pang Juan or Gongsun She?”

Li Ruoxuan narrowed his eyes and asked, “Are you trying to ask me whether it’s more beneficial to Northern Liang to have a grand master from Eastern Ling or Daming killed?”

Si Jin said, “Yeah.”

“Then, of course it’s…”

Li Ruoxuan’s voice trailed off before he finished.

Qi Qingyao said, “Kill Pang Juan.”

“Sister?” Si Jin looked at her curiously.

Qi Qingyao gritted her teeth and replied viciously, “He broke into my room one night before and secretly took Erniu away!”

“How dreadful.” Utterly discomfited, Si Jin decided, “Then, I’ll kill him!”

“…” Was he really going to kill Pang Juan? He was one of the two grand masters of Eastern Ling. Li Ruoxuan’s expression was doubtful as he thought about it.

Jiang Yeqian thought it was not logically possible, but he feel like Si Jin could do it.

He did not know why, but he just had that feeling.

Si Jin might be capable of it, as Jiang Yeqian had followed this rank nine a few times and had lost the trail every single time!

Qi Qingyao asked Si Jin how he was going to get to Qingyang Lake, and Si Jin suggested everyone take the carriage.

Steward Zhang called for someone to hurry and prepare the carriage.

After some time, the carriage was ready.

Qi Qingyao and Si Jin got into one carriage. Jiang Yeqian also shamelessly clambered inside. Li Ruoxuan was already a shameless person, so the moment he saw Jiang Yeqian alight, he soon followed.

Lu Yan looked at all of them squeezing together and thought after a long silence that it would be better for him to get onto another carriage.

Zhu Shen, Zhao Xin, and the others all rode their own horses!

Steward Zhang had not wanted to go initially, but he was rather curious about how a battle between grand masters would unfold, so he informed the household that he would be leaving too before he and Dong Jing got onto Lu Yan’s carriage and drove!

The group then mightily rushed toward the lake.

While the carriage was on the way to the destination, Qi Qingyao and Si Jin chatted pleasantly. Si Jin shared his recent hardships with Qi Qingyao like a spoilt child complaining, while Qi Qingyao asked about his health.

Jiang Yeqian witnessed this scene.

He wanted to jump off the carriage and leave on the spot.

He could only watch silently, convincing himself that he was not seeing anything, telling himself again and again that this brat was just like her younger brother! Or a grand master who was actually several hundred years old and had de-aged! It was impossible for Qi Qingyao to like that kind of boy!

Li Ruoxuan watched Qi Qingyao and Si Jin interacting, then looked at Jiang Yeqian’s hardened expression.

There was joy in his heart.

The carriage traveled for a while. Jiang Yeqian watched the two conversing intimately.

Jiang Yeqian finally had enough.

“Lady Qi! Since Si Jin is a grand master, that means he’s lied in the past, concealing his background and his real name. Probably even… his age! ”

“Do you think this young boy could actually reach the rank of a grand master in such a short time?

“Could it possibly be like the rumors say, that he actually is an old man who’s some hundreds of years old but could revert to youthfulness because of his formidable cultivation?

“If that’s the case, that would also explain how he suddenly switched on that aura just on! Even his eyes turned so fierce. He was obviously revealing his fox’s tail!

“I’m only saying all of this for your own good! Don’t be fooled by that brat’s appearance!”

After Jiang Yeqian shot off like a cannon.

“…” ‘How did he know that I’m actually some hundreds of years old? But I didn’t revert to youthfulness, I just grow really slowly. I’ve always looked young.’ Si Jin looked at Jiang Yeqian, extremely stunned.

Qi Qingyao cradled her forehead helplessly.

She really wanted to curse Jiang Yeqian out but with Li Ruoxuan here it would not be good for her to lose her temper.

Being stared at fixedly by Si Jin, Jiang Yeqian thought, ‘Could I have said too much? Did I push him into deciding to obliterate me?’
