These two old men ignored their status and positions to fight like children every day because they were afraid that Xueâer would worry about them.
In fact, how could they not be worried about Xueâer when she was worried about them? Xueâer and Ye Chen were the two people Xu Xing hated the most after all. If Xu Xing appeared, he would definitely first look for Xueâer and Ye Chen. This was also one of the main reasons why these two old fellows stubbornly stayed in the generalâs mansion. The other reason was naturally because of the dishes Xueâer cooked!
âAlas! Which corner do you think Xu Xing is hiding in? Why isnât there any news after searching for so long?â Lin Liang said worriedly. He wouldnât be able to sleep well if he didnât get rid of Xu Xing. Alas!
âProbably hiding in a rat hole? That old thing is cunning! How can he be so easy to find?â the old man said disdainfully. He hated Xu Xing to the core, but he hated himself even more for letting that old thing escape.
âOld Leng, donât let Ruoxue and Ye Chen out of our sight. Xu Xing hates them to death now,â Lin Liang reminded. After sending some students away, he had given the other students and teachers of the academy a long holiday. Otherwise, he really couldnât leave and stay in the generalâs mansion all day.
âYes, they are Xu Xingâs main targets now,â the old man echoed. Xu Xing definitely hated him, but Xu Xing didnât know his identity, so he wouldnât find him for the time being.
âDonât you know that girlâs personality?! If she wasnât afraid that we would worry, why would she be so obedient and stay at home all day?â Leng Qingtian said helplessly. He couldnât do anything about his precious granddaughter.
In fact, Leng Qingtian was only half right about why Leng Ruoxue was willing to stay at home. The other half was to watch over them. She didnât want these old men to put themselves in danger just to get rid of Xu Xing as soon as possible.

âXueâer, what do you plan to do?â Freak asked curiously while looking at Xueâer, who hadnât spoken since returning to her room.
âFreak, do you think we should continue waiting like this? What if Xu Xing never appears?â Leng Ruoxue looked up at Freak. She felt that this was too passive. In fact, if she wasnât worried about her grandfather and the rest, she would have used herself as bait to lure Xu Xing out.
âWhat else can we do?â Freakâs black diamond-like eyes stared at Leng Ruoxue.
âDo you think we will lure him out if we go out together?â Leng Ruoxue probed. She didnât dare to say that she would go alone, or he would definitely be angry.
âXueâer, Grandpa and the others wonât agree with you doing this. Arenât you the same?â Freak said seriously. To him, it was the same no matter when Xu Xing appeared. It was not like they were unprepared. Instead, he was afraid that Xu Xing wouldnât dare to come.
âBut there has been no news from Hell and the Mercenary Union,â Leng Ruoxue said gloomily. She was running out of patience after waiting for so many days.
âXueâer, Ling Feng Continent is so big, itâs not easy to find someone who wants to hide. Donât worry. I donât believe he can really hide forever.â
âI think you must be bored staying home all day. Why donât we go out for a walk tomorrow?â Freak suggested.
âOkay, then letâs rest early today!â Leng Ruoxue also felt that she should go out for a walk. She was going to be bored to death at this rate.
Freak nodded. He waited for Xueâer to fall asleep before quietly leaving her room.
â¦
The next day, Leng Ruoxue and Freak finally managed to convince Leng Qingtian and the others and left the generalâs mansion.
People were coming and going on the bustling streets as Leng Ruoxue and Freak walked side by side.
âEh, what day is it today? There are so many people!â Freak said curiously.
âI donât know!â Leng Ruoxue was also a little surprised.?Today isnât some festival in this world, right?
Freak went up to an old man and asked very politely, âExcuse me, sir. Why are there so many people on the streets today?â
The old man looked at the beautiful immortal-like couple in front of him and was stunned for a while before he recovered and said, âToday is the grandest temple fair in the Eastern Lagoon Empire. Itâs only once a year, so of course there are many people.â
âYoung Master and Miss, you two are really compatible! Go to the temple and ask for a lot. Todayâs lot is very efficacious.â The old man couldnât stay quiet after he started talking and kept rambling on.
âOkay, thank you, sir.â After thanking him, Freak handed the old man an amethyst coin and immediately left with Xueâer.
âXueâer, letâs go ask for a sign!â Freak said with great interest and looked at Leng Ruoxue expectantly.
âThatâs all a lie. How can you believe it?â Leng Ruoxue said speechlessly.
âLetâs go!â she continued after glancing at him.
Seeing Freakâs puppy-like expression of anticipation, how could she bear to refuse! She loved small animals the most.
After they arrived at the temple, they drew a lot and then went to the reception desk.
âMay I know what the two of you are asking for?â someone who looked like a charlatan asked.
âMarriage affinity,â Freak said without hesitation.
âOh, yes. This is a very good lot. Congratulations on your marriage destined by the heavens!â
âXueâer, did you hear that? Haha! Iâm so happy!â Freak couldnât help shouting.?I knew that Xueâer could only be mine, and no one could snatch her away!
A few drops of cold sweat dripped down Leng Ruoxueâs forehead as she rolled her eyes at him.?Alas! As a spiritualist, he actually believes these things like an ordinary person.
âLetâs go take a look over there!â Leng Ruoxue hurriedly said when she saw that more and more people were watching.
Freak nodded and squeezed out of the crowd with Xueâer.

In a private room in the Elegance Lagoon Pavilionâ¦
âIs she Leng Ruoxue?â a young man asked the old man by his side while standing by the window and pointing at a stunning beauty not far away.
