Chapter 755: Don’t Dirty This King’s Ears
Si Mobai’s gaze immediately became frigid. He raised his hand, intending to strike, but Feng Tianlan stopped him. “Why did you want to assassinate me?”
Why had she confessed so swiftly and with so much composure?
Gao Sijia raised her head and looked at Si Mobai with an incomprehensible look full of burning affection. “From the moment this subordinate met Master, I developed feelings for him…”
Before she could even finish speaking, Gao Sijia was hit by a powerful wave of Spiritual Energy and was sent flying. She collided forcefully against a pillar and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Si Mobai didn’t even glance at her. “Don’t dirty this King’s ears.”
Infatuation and admiration were only considered romantic when spoken by Lan’er. If anyone else said this to him, it was simply filth to his ears.
Gao Sijia wiped the blood dripping from the corner of her lips. She leaned against the pillar and said in a calm and collected manner, “I used Yunyi Alliance’s old seal and got the assassins to wear their uniform to attack Feng Tianlan. I’m jealous of her. On what grounds should a woman who randomly popped out of nowhere be in a position to receive the Master’s favor, causing him to oversee the good in this subordinate?”
Feng Tianlan stretched out a hand to stop Si Mobai. “Let her speak.” She felt that Gao Sijia’s composure was unusual.
“Ever since I posted the bounty mission, I knew the consequences that I would have to face. So…” Black blood suddenly flowed out of Gao Sijia’s mouth. She looked up and stared at Si Mobai with a foolish smile. “This subordinate will commit the deed myself. My family and I will pay the price for everything.”
Once this was said, her neck became crooked. Her widened eyes and her pupils soon lost their luster as black blood flowed out of her mouth in a continuous stream.
The other three guys hurried forward to check on Gao Sijia. She had swallowed poison out of her own volition and had already stopped breathing.
Si Mobai knitted his brows and looked at Feng Tianlan. “Lan’er?”
“Forget about it. Let’s go,” Feng Tianlan replied faintly. It was obvious that Gao Sijia was covering the tracks of someone else. Gao Sijia had probably made preparations to commit suicide as soon as she entered the city.
She had already assumed that it would not be unveiled so easily, but she had not expected someone to try and cover up the crime. So cleanly, at that. She had even implicated her entire family just like that.
“You guys sort this out. Also, this matter cannot be concluded yet. Continue investigating. If you’re unable to attain any results, then you all can go and accept your punishment.” After giving his orders coldly, Si Mobai stood up and held Feng Tianlan’s hand before taking his leave.
The remaining three people gaped at Gao Sijia’s corpse. After looking at each other in dismay, they finally went to deal with the body.
“Lan’er, where do you want to go?” Si Mobai asked.
Feng Tianlan shook her head faintly. “I’m not going anymore. Let’s just return to the courtyard.
“Still thinking about what happened just now?”
Feng Tianlan acknowledged in a soft voice, “If I knew that this would happen, I wouldn’t have appeared in female clothes. That way, at least some investigations could have been done.”
At present, their lead had been abruptly cut off, and so cleanly at that. Even the lives of her entire family had been extinguished. With this degree of cruelty, she was unable to imagine who the orchestrator behind the scenes was.
Si Mobai furrowed his brows without saying a word. His fingers were tightly interlaced with Feng Tianlan’s hand as he led her back to the room.
The assassination attempts were disrupted because of this, but it still made Si Mobai inclined to reorganize the Bailan Alliance. Hence, after he sent Feng Tianlan back to her room, he departed once more.
The members of Bailan Alliance were originally part of a long line of highly loyal families. However, many years had passed, and, from the looks of it, many people had already started to entertain other thoughts in their heads. If he did not reorganize them, the future was unpredictable.
Regarding this, Feng Tianlan didn’t mind too much. Their lead had been cut off, and it was fine if they couldn’t investigate any further. As long as that person continued to make attacks on her, the instigator would one day be uncovered. She was not in a hurry.
At present, she was only concerned about Xi Jin’s and Shen Yunya’s wedding, as well as her deep-seated vengeance. She would only be able to think about other matters in peace once these burdens had been resolved.
