âRuoxue, actually, there are really a lot of disputes in big families.â Feng Jing sighed. Although he had been dedicated to cultivation in the past, he was someone who had been the head of a family after all. So he knew very well how complicated families were. Moreover, he had long been accustomed to a carefree life with Leng Ruoxue and the others during this period of time. If he really belonged to a particular family, he wouldnât be able to adapt.
âI know.â How could Leng Ruoxue not know? Before her rebirth, she was also a pawn of a large family and worked hard for the family. This simple and carefree life was what she yearned for after her rebirth. So she was determined not to return to a complicated family. She had no sense of belonging no matter how strong that family was.
To her, the Leng family of the Boundless Heaven Continent could at most be considered distant relatives with a little blood relationship with her, and she was at most a proud and poor relative. So she really didnât want to hug other peopleâs thighs to prevent others from giving alms to them like they were beggars.
Everyone chatted as they ate. After eating, they returned to their residence happily.
âYouâre finally willing to come back!â Lan Ming complained as he looked at everyone resentfully in the courtyard.
âUh! Where did this resentful man come from? Lass, did we go to the wrong place?â Old Zao asked exaggeratedly.
âWe didnât go to the wrong place. He probably went to the wrong place,â Leng Ruoxue teased.
âBoohoo⦠Little Snowy, you make me so sad,â Lan Ming complained with tears in his eyes.
âFreak, Iâm tired. Letâs go back to our room!â Leng Ruoxue said to Freak, ignoring Lan Mingâs self-directed act.
âOkay.â Freak nodded and returned to the room with Leng Ruoxue.
After Leng Ruoxue and Freak returned to their room, Leng Qingtian and the others also returned to their rooms. In the blink of an eye, only Lan Ming was left in the yard.
âBoohoo⦠Why are these people so unsympathetic!â Lan Ming murmured to himself while looking up at the sky. He was so depressed. Boohoo⦠They were too evil. His mood was as gloomy as this moonless night!
You bad peopleâ¦
***
The next dayâ¦
When Leng Ruoxue and the others came out from their rooms, they saw Lan Ming standing in a daze in the courtyard like a statue.
âHuh? Did you become a stone statue?â Old Zao nudged Lan Mingâs body with his hand, his face full of excitement. Clearly, he had no sympathy.
âDid he stand outside all night?â Feng Jing asked curiously.
âProbably not,â First Elder Feng guessed.
Just as everyone was discussing Lan Ming, a bird flew out of nowhere, and then they heard a plop. The bird actually let out a pile of feces. Moreover, it happened to land on Lan Mingâs headâ¦
âAaahhhh! Even a bird is bullying me!â The tragic Lan Ming screamed at the sky, his heart bleeding!
Everyone was stunned, and then they burst into laughterâ¦
âHaha! This is too funny.â Old Zao laughed the most exaggeratedly, almost rolling on the ground.
Thump!?Lan Ming fell to the ground stiffly.
âHaha! Youâve been standing here for too long! The image of the stunningly beautiful man is all destroyed now!â Leng Ruoxue teased happily. Why was this Lan Ming becoming more and more funny? He was so dignified and imposing the first time she saw him! Why was he nowâ¦
âYou bullied me, and the bird bullied me. Boohooâ¦â Lan Ming wanted to cry but had no tears. His limbs were a little stiff because he had been standing for too long. The only thing he could move normally was his mouth and eyes. Boohoo⦠And his image! His noble and perfect image had disappeared forever since he got to know these people.
âWe didnât bully you.â Leng Ruoxue took out a pill and threw it into Lan Mingâs mouth.
âYou bullied me a lot!â Lan Ming complained. After taking the pill, he stretched his limbs and got up from the ground.
âIâm going to take a bath,â Lan Ming ran back to his room in a hurry.
âHaha!â Leng Ruoxue looked at Lan Mingâs fleeing back and smiled happily.
âXueâer, letâs make breakfast! We have to go to the competition later,â Leng Qingtian reminded.
Leng Ruoxue nodded, and everyone got busy.
After breakfast was ready, Lan Ming emerged from his room after a bath and found a chair to sit down on.
âDonât you have to draw lots first?â Leng Ruoxue asked curiously as she looked at Lan Ming, who was sitting down to eat breakfast.
âIâm hungry.â Lan Ming drank his porridge without looking up.?What a heartless little girl. I havenât eaten anything all night, yet she still wants to chase me away. Boohooâ¦
âOh!â Leng Ruoxue answered softly and continued eating.
After breakfast, everyone went to the competition venue.
After reaching the arena, Lan Ming went to draw lots, while Leng Ruoxue and the others went directly to their seats.
They had sat down when the people from the Sun Zhou City branch all came.
âYouâre really early today!â Sun Meilin said, her beautiful eyes flashing with anger.
âWe didnât come early. You came late. Did the additional round yesterday go smoothly?â Leng Ruoxue said with great concern.
âYou donât have to worry about that!â Sun Meilin roared furiously. As soon as she thought about yesterday, she wanted to kill people. She didnât know what methods that ugly man used, but even a heaven-grade pill couldnât treat Ni Taoâs injuries, causing him to have no choice but to withdraw from the competition early. It was really infuriating!
âIt seems like yesterdayâs matches didnât go smoothly! Why else would Miss Sun be so angry! Ah! By the way, I have to remind you to take note of your image! The young master of the Leng family is watching from the main stage!â Leng Ruoxue said with a smile, her words full of concern. People who didnât know would definitely think that they were good friends! Moreover, she still didnât know that Ni Taoâs injuries hadnât improved after taking a heaven-grade pill.
âYou⦠just take care of yourself.â Sun Meilin almost wanted to shout again, but she suddenly remembered Leng Ruoxueâs words and forcefully endured it. Hmph! Although this ugly monster was very annoying, her words were very reasonable, so she endured it for the sake of the Leng familyâs young madam position. Anyway, in her eyes, Leng Ruoxue was no different from a dead person.
