Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

Chapter 409: Si Jin’s Return 4

Si Jin hugged Qi Qingyao and acted like a child. “I know someone wants to kill you, but Grandpa said you wouldn’t be in any danger, so that’s why I never came back.”

Qi Qingyao let go of him, and asked, “Are you hurt? Have you been recuperating well?”

When Jiang Yeqian saw the two finally let go of each other, his expression improved.

Si Jin pouted, feeling embarrassed, “My wounds had healed up really fast! I hadn’t just been recuperating. I didn’t come back for so long because Grandpa said I was really stupid for having been caught by the summoning array. He’s been teaching me about summoning arrays all this time, and I was learning how to break them and deploy them.”

“How much have you learned?” Qi Qingyao asked.

“Li Ruoxuan’s summoning array definitely won’t be able to trap me next time!”

Si Jin glanced at Li Ruoxuan pointedly and then said, “I’ll be able to lay an array on this house in the future as well!”

“How awesome.” Qi Qingyao was so surprised her jaw almost hit the ground.

Li Ruoxuan, “…” Had he learned most of the arrays in such a short time? How was that possible? Could this kid be a level above a genius?

Pang Juan and Gongsun She had locked their gazes on the boy ever since he entered the house. The two were quite confused because they could not sense any powerful aura from this young man. It rendered Pang Juan very puzzled. “This is the young grand master?”

Qi Qingyao was suddenly stunned. Only then did she remember the situation she was currently in. She quickly said, “Let me introduce him to everyone first.”

She pulled Si Jin’s hand and pointed at the two individuals there.

“This is the grand master Pang Juan from Daliang City of Eastern Ling, and that is Mr. Gongsun She from Daming’s Cangjing Lake.”

“Oh.”

Si Jin’s gaze was calm as he shook his head. “I don’t know them.”

Pang Juan, “…”

Gongsun She, “…”

The two old men simultaneously thought, ‘We won’t argue with a kid who’s just been promoted to grand master yet doesn’t recognize his seniors!’

Just at the right moment, Lu Yan said, “They insist that Qi Qingyao is useful to grand masters, saying that she can help them break through. They want to take her away!”

“…” Si Jin’s expression suddenly changed, the aura in his body growing extremely sinister and ruthless, as well as somewhat eccentric.

It was as if a usually docile child had suddenly turned into a hedgehog.

Pang Juan and Gongsun She had clearly sensed that the youth did not have the aura of a grand master, but it was undoubtedly that the surrounding air had changed.

A powerful killing intent coursed through the air as if it could wipe out everything at any time.

“Do you want to go out and fight?” Si Jin’s gaze was like a cheetah’s, staring at the two old men fixedly.

Qi Qingyao asked nervously, “Are you confident about this?”

Pang Juan said with much disdain, “Brat!! You’re just a spring chicken who’s recently entered the realm of a grand master. You really want to make enemies of us?”

Gongsun She stood up. Exuding an ‘in it to win it’ aura, he said heavily, “If both of us were to work together, you’d undoubtedly die.”

Si Jin pursed his lips. Obstinance and unruliness at the corners of his lips, he said, “I only lost last time because I had no experience, which made me fall victim to the array. But arrays can’t hold me anymore. If I rely solely on strength, I don’t see how I’m ever going to lose.”

Pang Juan sneered, “Winning against one of us will already be a challenge. You really believe in yourself so much that you think you can win against two of us at once?”

“Si Jin!” Qi Qingyao pulled at the hem of his clothes. When the youth turned to look at her, she reminded him, “You can’t be too confident in yourself.”

Si Jin’s gaze instantly turned soft and cute when he turned back to look at her. The sinisterness and ruthlessness, as well as his irritability, still remained, though. Si Jin caressed Qi Qingyao’s face and even pecked her ear. Qi Qingyao, who had just been kissed, was stunned. The young man leaned into her ear and said in an ambiguous tone, “Sister, I said I’ll protect you forever, so I know I have the ability to protect you! I have spent so long studying arrays just so I could defend you if the time came.”

When Qi Qingyao returned to her senses, she sternly said, “Up against two at once? Can you do that? I don’t want you to get hurt.”

Si Jin’s mouth curved into a smile. “If I can’t go up against these two old men, how can I protect Sister in the future?” There was a trace of evil in his smile.

Qi Qingyao thought she was hallucinating.

She rubbed her eyes.

Li Ruoxuan did not miss the evil in the youth’s eyes. He felt like this youth was somehow different from when they had met before. He realized that he would be killed the moment he made a misstep, so he immediately bowed and clasped his fists, saying, “Si Jin, I apologize to you.”

There was no shame in apologizing to a grand master.

Qi Qingyao was taken aback. She laughed wildly and then said, “He’s scared of dying! That’s why he’s sucking up and apologizing. The State Preceptor is so shameless.”

Si Jin calmly looked at the apologizing Li Ruoxuan and forced himself to say, “He’s the State Preceptor of Northern Liang. I’ve blinded one of his eyes, and it’s also because of him that I discovered my weakness with arrays. So I’m quite grateful to him.”

“…”

When Li Ruoxuan heard the first half of what Si Jin had to say, his back felt cold.

After hearing the second half, he felt relieved instead.

Jiang Yeqian sat still and did not move. He scrutinized Si Jin a little, thinking about how the boy had changed so much in such little time!
