After leaving the training grounds, Leng Ruoxue returned to her room, depressed. Freak volunteered to visit Dongfang Yun.
âXueâer!â Leng Qingtian called out from outside his granddaughterâs door.
âGrandpa, come in. The door isnât locked,â Leng Ruoxue said softly.
âXueâer, if you want to spar, so be it. But why did you burn his clothes?â Leng Qingtian looked at his precious granddaughter speechlessly.?Great, someone is hanging onto her now!
âGrandpa, it was an accident. I didnât do it on purpose.â Leng Ruoxue was puzzled. She didnât know why her spiritual power suddenly became disobedient.
âOf course, Grandpa knows that you didnât do it on purpose. Butâ¦â Leng Qingtian felt awkward and hesitated.
âBut what? Grandpa, is Dongfang Yun alright?â Leng Ruoxue asked. She had only used 30% of her spiritual power, and it would at most cause him some superficial wounds. It wouldnât be fatal, so Dongfang Yun should have fainted from fright.
âHeâs fine. But Old Yu is relentless and insists that you should be responsible.â Leng Qingtian smiled bitterly.
âWhat should I be responsible for?â Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement. She knew her limits when she attacked.
âOld Yu said that you saw his discipleâs naked body, so you have to take responsibility.â Leng Qingtianâs lips twitched helplessly. He also felt that this reason was too far-fetched. What was wrong with seeing a man naked!
âGrandpa, Iâm not interested in Dongfang Yun,â Leng Ruoxue said bluntly. Moreover, she was afraid that Freak would know about this matter⦠so it was better to make things clear as soon as possible.
âOf course Grandpa knows that. But Old Yu is very difficult to deal with, and he wonât give up easily once heâs made up his mind,â Leng Qingtian reminded. In fact, he didnât think that Dongfang Yun was suitable for his precious granddaughter. He felt that his grandson-in-law should be someone as well-behaved and obedient as Ye Chen who wouldnât bully Xueâer.
âItâs not so easy to hang onto me.â Leng Ruoxue smiled spuriously. Anyone who dared to have any ideas about her would regret it.
âXueâer, Old Yu is Grandpaâs friend after all. You have to show mercy!â Leng Qingtian reminded her, which was also a way of asking for forgiveness for his old friend.
âDonât worry, Grandpa. I will definitely be merciful,â Leng Ruoxue comforted.
âThatâs good. By the way, Xueâer, about the imperial palaceâ¦â Leng Qingtian asked curiously.
âGrandpa, the current emperor is Li Yuan. Li Xun has abdicated,â Leng Ruoxue explained simply.
âWhat about Li Yu?â
âLi Yuan locked him up.â
âXueâer, does this have anything to do with you?â
âA little. I just cooperated. Iâm a good citizen after all!â
âXueâer, the old patriarch of the imperial family isnât easy to deal with,â Leng Qingtian couldnât help reminding.
âYes, Iâve met that old man.â
âDid he make things difficult for you?â Leng Qingtian asked anxiously. He knew his granddaughterâs strength, but as a grandfather, he couldnât help but worry.
âNo.â
âThatâs good. Xueâer, Grandpa is leaving,â Leng Qingtian said after understanding the situation.
âOkay.â Leng Ruoxue sent her grandfather out of the Listening Snow Pavilion.
âXueâer.â Hearing Freakâs voice, Leng Ruoxue turned around. He was standing not far away and looking at her.
âDonât be scared! Itâs okay.â Leng Ruoxue walked forward and caressed his head to calm him.
âYeah.â Freak nodded obediently. He believed that Xueâer would never like that proud peacock. Beauty traps were useless against Xueâer, and this was his experience speaking.
âSleep early tonight. We are the hosts tomorrow,â Leng Ruoxue reminded.
âGot it.â
After she comforted him, the two went to their respective rooms to sleep.
â¦
The next day was the opening day of the Prosperity Pavilion.
As the hosts, Leng Ruoxue and the others naturally arrived at the Prosperity Pavilion early.
At the entrance of the restaurant, Leng Ruoxue directly ignored Dongfang Yunâs resentful gaze and said to the two elders, âGrandpa, Grandpa Yu, letâs go in and take a look!â
âOkay. But Ruoxue, my apprenticeâ¦â
âGrandpa Yu, guests are coming soon. Letâs go in first!â Leng Ruoxue interrupted and reminded him.
âAlright!â Old Yu gave her face.?Hmph! Lass, you canât pretend to be stupid!
After Leng Ruoxue and the others entered the shop and took a tour of the entire Prosperity Pavilion under Feng Daâs lead, almost everyone had an amazed expression on their faces because this place was really beyond their expectations. In addition to the exquisite and grand interior furnishings, many things were unheard of.
âMiss, how was it?â Feng Da looked at Leng Ruoxue nervously. Everything here was designed by the young lady and completed under his supervision, so he was afraid that she would be dissatisfied.
âNot bad. Iâm very satisfied.â
âMiss, the empress has arrived.â Lin Yuan, who was preparing to receive guests outside, entered and reported.
âInvite Big Sister Mo in directly!â Leng Ruoxue ordered.
âRuoxue, this place is so beautiful!â Mo Yingyue exclaimed as soon as she entered the store.
âItâs good that Big Sister Mo likes it.â
âYes, of course I do,â Mo Yingyue said sincerely. This place felt even more comfortable than the imperial palace. It was really unbelievable.
âIn my opinion, this place is only so-so.â A discordant voice sounded in everyoneâs ears. For a moment, everyoneâs eyes were attracted by the owner of the voice.
She was a very beautiful young girl of 15 or 16 years old. Even though she wasnât as drop-dead gorgeous as Leng Ruoxue, she gave off a sweet and lovable feeling. She should have been a very likable young girl, but why did her words sound so offensive? Everyone was puzzled.
Leng Ruoxue sneered as she looked at the girl who spoke.?How dare a Great Spiritualist spout nonsense on this occasion. Does she think this place is her home?
