Chapter 351: Nemeses

Qi Qingyao stared at Dong Jing dumbfoundedly as he ran away. She then looked at Lu Yan's pale face and asked him, "What happened?"

"There is something you need to know."

Lu Yan had no idea how to begin talking about the topic. He licked his lips as he felt chills run throughout his body. He said to her solemnly, "After you left, I wanted to get more information out of Li Ruoxuan, so I asked him to come over..."

Qi Qingyao's eyes narrowed.

However, she did not interrupt or question him.

She listened as Lu Yan described everything that happened that day.

Lu Yan told her every single detail about their conversation.

"He said you were disguising yourself out there and that the Zhuixian Restaurant fiasco had coincidentally happened at the same time. Information from the Han family tells us that it was a grand master who was helping Gu Shanshan. Na Lanjie from the Ghost Organization tried to probe Si Jin as well. With these clues, the target is obviously Si Jin..."

Qi Qingyao's expression sank as she put down her chopsticks and sipped on her cup of tea. "If my sister was really murdered by the State Preceptor, then..."

Lu Yan's eyelids were half-shut as he said softly, "Judging by Li Ruoxuan's character, he will surely interrogate Si Jin himself! Since he's a ninth rank, could he be interrogated by the grand master himself?"

"A ninth rank can beat a grand master?" That sounded impossible. Qi Qingyao relaxed a little as she said with mockery in her voice, "If Si Jin is truly a grand master, then Li Ruoxuan is dead meat!"

Lu Yan nodded lightly and said, "And that's why I sent Dong Jing to investigate. Let's wait for an hour, and he'll bring us some news. I'm sure of that."

The Lu family was rich anyway.

They usually had some spies among the big shots.

However, these spies were rarely used due to safety concerns.

However, that did not mean they were never used!

Lu Yan knew how important Si Jin was to Qin Qingyao, so he said, "Don't worry about it too much. First of all, if Si Jin is just a rank nine, Li Ruoxuan won't kill him as there would be no need to do so. And if he really is a grand master, he definitely won't die, and Li Ruoxuan will be badly injured."

Qi Qingyao mused for a moment, and said, "Under what conditions can a ninth rank beat a grand master?"

Lu Yan closed his eyes and replied, "No matter the circumstances, there is no chance of winning! Grand masters are grand masters for a reason, and that's because they're so different from your typical practitioner. They're on a completely different level.

"But the State Preceptor would never do something he wasn't sure of, he... has assassins with him for sure."

Lu Yan suddenly thought of a piece of information he heard some time ago and said, "No matter what kind of traps or tricks you use to try to set up a grand master, he will be wounded at most. He will never die, and that's for sure."

Even so, Qi Qingyao still felt that something was off, so she helplessly asked, "I—I don't think Si Jin is a grand master."

Lu Yan agreed, "I don't think so too. If an eighteen-year-old kid like him is a grand master, what about the other practitioners? Wouldn't that make them useless?"
