Lin Mengya's brow furrowed even tighter as she watched the Sheng family about to start an internal conflict.
No matter how she looked at it, everything that happened today was premeditated. Still, was Song Zixing's goal just to cause internal strife in the Sheng family?
She didn't think so.
Whatever the case may be, it was an internal matter of the Sheng family.
And once Elder Sheng recovered his breath, he would retaliate wildly against Song Zixing.
For Song Zixing, the loss outweighed the gain.
Unless he was absolutely confident that the Sheng family would never rise again this time.
Lin Mengya, however, did not notice that there were fewer people in the yard as she pondered.
On the other hand, the ever-vigilant Long Tianhao looked left and right without batting an eyelid.
He cleared his throat, drawing Li Ao's attention.
"Your Highness?"
"Look around here. Aren't there only families that are friendly with the Sheng family?"
Li Ao was a little puzzled at first, but after looking around, his heart sank.
"I don't know about the others, but the families that are close to the Sheng family are definitely here."
"Be careful."
After this reminder, Long Tianhao did not say anything else.
Their situation was certainly dangerous, and they might be caught in the crossfire.
Song Zixing had completely instigated the conflict between Elder Sheng and Patriarch Sheng.
The two of them actually did not care about each other's dignity, and started a big fight in front of everyone.
Even Old Madam Sheng's tough attitude was like pouring oil on the fire.
Just as everyone was craning their necks to hear all the secrets of the Sheng family, a person suddenly rushed in from outside and fell headfirst right in front of Elder Sheng.
"Old Master, someone barged into the secret room of the backyard and stole the item!"
Elder Sheng, whose neck and face were red with anger, was even more furious at that.
"Bastard! Who stole it? I'll cut him into a thousand pieces if I find out! "
Everyone couldn't help shrinking their necks.
Elder Cheng's words were on a completely different level compared to the rage he had when he quarreled with Patriarch Sheng.
From his tone, Lin Mengya could hear not only a murderous rage, but also an unnatural fear.
"Hahahaha! To think that you'd have such a day, you old dog!"
Song Zixing laughed out loud at this moment.
Then, the look in his eyes at the Sheng family's patriarch was filled with cold killing intent.
"Back then, you plotted against my big brother, but I couldn't find any evidence. Now, I can finally avenge my big brother! "
Song Zixing's eyes were filled with hatred. He drew the short sword hidden in his sleeve and stabbed it at Elder Cheng's chest.
"Master!"
"Elder!"
The repeated exclamations did not cause the dagger to deviate even half an inch.
However, Elder Cheng reacted very quickly. In the next moment, he rolled on the ground with all his might. However, the short sword still sliced through his chest.
However, he didn't see the corner of Song Zixing's lips curling up.
Elder Cheng, who had just escaped death, could no longer hold it in. He roared at Song Zixing.
"How dare you! As the supervising elder, you actually dared to attack me! Just you wait, I will definitely go to the Elder Council to impeach you! "
"Is that so? I want to see if my colleagues in the Elders Council will listen to a traitor like you. "
"What did you say?
？”
Elder Cheng was furious. But soon, he realized that something was wrong.
He lowered his head and was shocked to find that the front of his shirt had been sliced open. Half of his chest was exposed.
And there was a tangle of scars on his chest.
Everyone who saw it clearly was flabbergasted.
Long Tianhao asked Li Ao in a low voice. Li Ao calmed down a little and said in a low voice, "That's the mark of a sinner. Only traitors who have been impeached and expelled by the Elders Guild will have such a scar. However, I have never heard of Elder Cheng being punished like this before. "
However, compared to Li Ao's shock, the other followers of the Sheng family did not look so good.
Many of them had staked their futures and lives on the Sheng family.
If this mark was real, then their disappointment would be in vain.
"There is really one. It seems that when you plotted against my big brother, you really did it yourself."
Song Zixing had achieved all his goals.
Next, it was time for him to reap the fruits of his labor.
There was a glint of excitement in his eyes. Apart from that, there was also the delight of avenging a great grudge.
"Hah, if he didn't fail to appreciate my kindness, I wouldn't have to kill him myself."
Elder Cheng slowly tidied up his clothes.
Since he had been seen, he had no intention of hiding it.
Everything he had been hiding was forced to be revealed, but it made Elder Cheng appear to have become a different person.
Old Madam Sheng and the patriarch of the Sheng family were also stunned by the turn of events.
"Who … who are you?"
Old Madam Sheng's hands were trembling. It was clear that she had been greatly agitated.
But now, Elder Cheng was shooting her a look of disgust.
"If it wasn't for trash like you who can't do anything right, I wouldn't have exposed my identity so early. Since you know what you shouldn't know, you should shut your mouth forever! "
Even as he spoke, he moved like a ghost, his hands reaching for Old Madam Sheng's throat like a claw.
But just when everyone thought that Old Madam Sheng was dead for sure, a small crossbow bolt the size of a palm shot towards Elder Cheng's wrist before he could.
Elder Cheng had already sensed that someone was coming with ill intent, so he immediately dodged. Only then did he not let the small crossbow bolt hit his wrist.
"Who is it? How dare you stop me! "
Lin Mengya quietly pinched her right hand.
Why did she have so many problems? Look, she had made herself an enemy.
Old Madam Sheng had indeed done many wrong things, but her protection of her husband and daughter was genuine.
She could watch as Old Madam Sheng was punished, but she did not want her to die in front of Elder Cheng.
It was fortunate that her movements were discreet, and with Long Tianhao and Li Ao covering her, Elder Cheng merely glanced at them, but could not tell who the hidden weapon came from.
And with that delay, the patriarch of the Sheng family had already shielded Old Madam Sheng and his lover behind him.
"Since you are not a member of the Sheng family, may I ask who you are? And where is my real uncle?"
"Of course I'm a member of the Sheng family. What, don't you recognize me? My dear nephew, I'm the one who pushed you to the position of patriarch. You shouldn't forget me even if everyone has forgotten me. "
Elder Cheng's every word was spoken in a very presumptuous manner.
It was as if he was not afraid of being exposed.
The patriarch frowned and thought hard for a moment, before suddenly looking up at the person before him in shock.
"You, you're …"
Elder Cheng's mouth widened into a sinister grin.
"You're my father? But … but aren't you dead? "
It could not be wrong!
Sheng Sheng clenched his fists to hold back the fear in his heart.
His father used to be one of the strongest candidates for the position of patriarch of the Sheng family. However, his father's character was not good, and he was stubborn and hot-tempered. That was why the previous patriarch, his grandfather, did not pass the position to his father, but directly passed it to his grandson.
His father was so disappointed that he passed away.
And yet, his uncle's actions and expressions just now were a nightmare that had haunted him for more than twenty years, even if they did not look the same.
So, he cried out at once.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to still remember me. Don't worry, my good boy. As long as you're obedient, you'll still be the patriarch of the Sheng family. "
Among those present, Lin Mengya and her husband were the quickest to react.
"Is he a success story?"
Long Tianhao asked quietly, while Lin Mengya stared blankly at the mark on Elder Cheng's chest.
She had a habit of using the decryption function whenever she came across words or pictures she did not understand.
She did not expect to find something unexpected!
The seemingly messy mark on the man's chest was actually a secret 'Gong' character.
Moreover, it was written in that ancient language!
Lin Mengya was not surprised. Logically speaking, the mark was meant to deal with traitors, and it should have something to do with the ancient clans.
She was not flattering herself, but the Gong family used to be one of the ancient clans.
Could it be that the Gong family was in charge of supervision and punishment, which was why the mark was' Gong '?
Lin Mengya could not figure it out, and the mystery in her heart grew bigger.
"I'm not sure, but it's very similar. It should be a good integration, which is why we did not notice it at first."
After careful observation, Lin Mengya came to a conclusion.
The previous failures could be detected by the system.
But Elder Cheng's body was very normal.
This meant that once the consciousness and the body were completely integrated, no one would be able to notice anything strange.
Of course, it could also be that she had not studied such a complete integration case, which was why there was a lack of information.
Once they confirmed that Elder Cheng was a near-perfect case, Lin Mengya and Xiaoyao's old habit came back.
She stared at Elder Cheng with an unusually fiery gaze.
That made the latter's scalp go numb.
He would never have thought that after his identity was exposed, there would be a crazy researcher who wanted to cut him up.
It would be fine if he won today, but if he lost, he would end up in a miserable state.
Elder Cheng thought that he had the upper hand.
He looked at Song Zixing with a mocking expression.
"Do you think that you've won?"
Song Zixing narrowed his eyes. Even though he felt a little uneasy, he did not lose to Elder Cheng's words.
"Isn't it obvious? No matter who you are, you have to pay for your mistake today. "
"Hahaha, Song Zixing, you have a good plan. Not only did you find out my secret, but you also found my secret room. I guess that little bastard should be your elder brother's posthumous son, right? It's no wonder. He looks a little like your elder brother. If not for the fact that you did a good job, I would have found him long ago. "
