Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1979: Chapter 1979: Take Me to ‘Pay Homage

“Husband, my lady…”

“Do you know what you need to do? If anything happens to my lady or Yiyu, your entire family will have to pay with their lives as a burial sacrifice, and not one will be spared!”

Lady Leng’s gaze was as sharp as if it had been ice-hardened, her eyes piercing the maid as she spoke each word deliberately.

“I… I know… The maid knows what to do.”

Her heart filled with despair, large tears slid from her eyes as she nodded instinctively.

What could she do? If it were only her own life at stake, she might risk a desperate gamble, but she had a family. If she implicated Lady Leng and the young miss, her family would certainly not escape, they would all die.

Facing certain death either way, she naturally chose to protect her family.

“The poisoning was out of spite that the bastard climbed over the young miss’s head. I acted alone, and the poison was bought in secret from an outside alchemist.”

Her voice lacked any trace of emotion as she said this.

“Very well.”

Lady Leng was quite satisfied with the maid’s understanding.

“Don’t worry, I will have someone take care of your family. They will not suffer any grievances.”

Her lips said such words, but inside, she sneered. Without removing the roots, the weed would simply grow back come spring; naturally, she would not allow the maid’s family to live and trouble her.

Once the maid was dead, she would immediately send a message to her elder brother, instructing him to eradicate the maid’s family, to reunite them in death.

“Go in peace.”

She smiled at the maid with her final words before sending her away.

…

Inside the stone chamber, Sect Master Leng entered with the Qe Mingmu in hand, followed by the Second Elder.

“High Priest, this is the Qe Mingmu.”

He held the Qe Mingmu aloft and presented it to An Jiuyue.

An Jiuyue took the Qe Mingmu without a word of thanks, storing it in her space, then sat down again, raising her eyes to look at Sect Master Leng.

“Sect Master Leng, I am not sure where Young Sect Master Yikun is buried, but now that I am here, it would be proper for me to pay my respects,” she said.

“Er…”

Sect Master Leng was genuinely caught off guard.

This woman in front of him was the High Priest of Wulong Mountain. If he had his doubts before, he had none now. She had taken the Qe Mingmu, what was there to doubt?

But why would the High Priest Demon Heart want to pay respects to a former Young Sect Master of the Eternal Night Sect?

Could it be that the High Priest knew something? Or knew that his Yikun was not dead.

“This… High Priest, Yikun is buried at the Soul Return Site, some distance from here. Perhaps after you have rested, we could go there. Would that be all right?” His voice trembled slightly as he tentatively suggested.

“Is that so? Very well.”

An Jiuyue stood up and took a few steps to a bookcase, patting the side of it before turning back around.

“I am indeed rather tired. Sect Master Leng, trouble you to show us where to rest. As for Young Sect Master Yikun, when you are ready, take me to ‘pay my respects’.”

She emphasized the word “pay my respects,” trusting Sect Master Leng would understand the implication.

At that moment, Sect Master Leng was certain that the High Priest Demon Heart truly knew that Leng Yikun was not dead, because she had stood right where the secret passage was hidden.

“Yes, High Priest.”

He responded carefully, then led An Jiuyue and the others to the place arranged by the Great Elder.
