The man was about twenty years old. He was handsome, had bright and enchanting black eyes, and a good temperament. He was dressed in a black garment with golden borders, and golden dragons were embroidered on both sleeves with golden threads, making him look even more noble and extraordinary. It was as if a god had descended, and people could only look up at him.
âGrandfather, she is Leng Ruoxue, the enemy of our Xu family,â the old man, Xu Xing, who had been in hiding, quickly replied respectfully.
Even though Xu Xing had changed his appearance, he still looked like an old man, but even his relatives might not recognize him.
âI want this Leng Ruoxue. That man can be killed,â the young man said expressionlessly. A trace of viciousness flashed across his handsome face, destroying his noble nature.
âBut Grandfather, Leng Ruoxue is the enemy of our Xu family,â Xu Xing said unwillingly. If Leng Ruoxue didnât die and even became⦠What revenge would he have! He would just be depressed to death.
The young man narrowed his eyes and said coldly with slight displeasure, âHow dare you question my words?â
âLeng Ruoxue is your enemy, not my young masterâs enemy.â A middle-aged man walked over.
âYes, your grandchild knows.â Xu Xing suppressed his rage and swallowed his anger. Now, he still had to use these people to take revenge for him. Moreover, he had to count on them to take care of him in the future. So even if he was angry in his heart, he absolutely didnât dare to show it.
But it was precisely because he had suffered a lot in front of these so-called ancestors that he hated Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen even more.
âI heard that this restaurant originally belonged to the Xu family?â the middle-aged man asked.
âYes, this restaurant was originally called the Spring Wind House and a property of our Xu family. But now, it has been taken over by the Huo family,â Xu Xing said through gritted teeth.?The Huo family, hmph! I wonât let them off either. No matter what they took from our Xu family, I will make them spit it out intact.
âYouâre really not an ordinary piece of trash!â The middle-aged man glanced at Xu Xing disdainfully and reprimanded him.
âYes, Xu Xing is useless. But we were also betrayed by the Ye family, thatâs whyâ¦â Xu Xing looked at the middle-aged man aggrievedly and stopped talking.
âAre you sure that the Ye family betrayed you? Didnât the Ye family get destroyed just like the Xu family?â the middle-aged man said with a look of disbelief.
âYe Chen said it himself. It canât be fake. Iâm guessing that the Ye family was killed by Leng Ruoxue and the others,â Xu Xing said, thinking he was smart.
The middle-aged man nodded. It was possible. However, Leng Ruoxue was too cruel!
âYoung Master, when should we go back?â the middle-aged man asked respectfully.
âWhatâs the hurry? Weâve only been here for two days,â the young man said in objection. He didnât want to go back so soon!
âYoung Master, when we came, the patriarch ordered us to return as soon as possible,â the middle-aged man continued, unwilling to give up.
âGrandfather, why donât you go back first? We will bring Leng Ruoxue over for you,â Xu Xing said with a fawning face. This young master would be his greatest backer in the future! He couldnât afford to lose him!
âYou have to be gentle with such a beauty. Donât hurt her, and donât let her lose a strand of hair,â the young man said after some thought.
âGrandfather, donât worry. We will take good care of her,â Xu Xing quickly promised. But in his heart, he couldnât wait for this grandfather to scram home early. With him around, he really had to serve him like a grandson. Since he would be his backer in the future, then he would wait to serve him well in the future. At least now, he didnât want to be a grandson all day.
âLetâs go back!â The young man turned to the middle-aged man.
âYes, Young Master.â
After sending them out of the inn, Xu Xing immediately returned to the private room.
âHonorable Seniors, thank you for your help.â Xu Xing bowed gratefully. These people were the most important to him now.
âWeâre all family. Thereâs no need to be so polite,â one of them said.
âYes, Seniors. May I ask when you intend to take action?â Xu Xing couldnât help asking.
âWhatâs the rush? They canât run away. Everyone will be dead except for the woman Young Master wants,â another said.
âHehe, no rush, no rush. Letâs wait for you to have enough rest before we make a move,â Xu Xing hurriedly echoed to please them. He didnât dare to make these masters unhappy.
âHaha, Xu Xing, you are quite sensible.â A man in his thirties stood up and patted Xu Xingâs shoulder.
âSeniors, I have already arranged your activities for tonight. I guarantee that you will be satisfied,â Xu Xing said with the demeanor of a lackey, no longer having the demeanor of a former patriarch.
âThen what are we waiting for? Hurry up and bring us there!â someone shouted impatiently.
âSeniors, letâs go!â Xu Xing bowed and was the last to leave after everyone leftâ¦

Leng Ruoxue and Freak walked around the streets for half a day and then returned to the generalâs mansion at noon.
âXueâer, we would have starved to death if you didnât come back,â Leng Qingtian quickly complained when he saw his granddaughter return to the garden.
âGrandpa, you guys seem to be having a good time playing chess. You donât look like youâre going to starve to death.â Leng Ruoxue seemed very helpless against her grandfatherâs coquettish behavior.
âIf you didnât return, thereâd be no one to cook for us. If we donât play chess, what can we old men do?â The old man stared at Leng Ruoxue. They were people who led pampered lives. Making them cook was harder than killing them.
âIâm going to cook now,â Leng Ruoxue said with self-awareness.
After feeding the old men, a day quickly passedâ¦

On an afternoon a few days later, Leng Ruoxue and the others were discussing something in Leng Qingtianâs study when an arrogant roar sounded from outsideâ¦
