âOh!â Ning De jumped onto the little peacockâs back and then looked at Leng Ruoxue hesitantly. He hesitated for a while and finally couldnât help saying, âMiss, give me a appearance changing pill too. I can sit with you this way.â
He had been wanting to refine a few appearance changing pills these few days, but he actually didnât have enough herbs on hand, so he could only give up helplessly.
âOkay!â Leng Ruoxue agreed without hesitation. In fact, she didnât give Ning De the appearance changing pill on the first day for Guan Yue Long to see. She just wanted Guan Yue Long to know what choice she should make. She was a pacifist after all! Hehe!
âReally?â Ning De looked at Leng Ruoxue in disbelief. Boohoo⦠Why did Miss agree so easily? All the excuses he had already thought of were useless.
âOf course, I never lie,â Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.
âHaha, the reason why I didnât give you the appearance changing pill last time was that I hoped Guan Yue Long could make a sensible choice. It was also to let him know that the Alchemist Association didnât fall out with their Guan Yue family,â Leng Ruoxue added and explained her thoughts simply.
âOh, I understand,â Ning De said happily. Boohoo⦠He thought that he was despised by Miss because he was an outsider! He was immediately happy knowing that it was not for this reason!
âNing De, did the major families do anything these few days?â Leng Ruoxue asked casually.
âThe Guan Yue family has always been very quiet. However, the Wu family has been asking about the residences of Miss and the others. Moreover, there seem to be a few forces secretly asking about Miss and the others.â Ning De reported everything he knew, afraid that he would miss a single thing.
âWhich forces are they?â Leng Ruoxue couldnât help asking.
âThe Luo and Bai families,â Ning De answered honestly.
âThe Luo family and the Bai family?â Leng Ruoxue frowned in thought. She had no dealings with the Luo family. Could it be that the Bai family wanted to avenge that Bai Ru?
âThe Luo family might not be as strong as the Wu family but they have always been on good terms with the Guan Yue family. As for the Bai family, they are only at the bottom. Logically speaking, they should be paying attention to the movement of the Guan Yue family the most, but they sent people to inquire about Miss. I really donât know why!â Ning De said doubtfully. He had actually thought about this question for a few days, but he had never thought of an answer.
âCould it be that they want to have ideas about Miss? Arenât they overestimating their capabilities?â Feng Da guessed with a face full of disdain. Hmph! Not just anyone could have ideas about his young miss. Not to mention that Commander Ye would fly into a rage, even they wouldnât do it!
âHmph! Anyone who dares to have designs on Xueâer, die!â the freak roared directly without thinking after hearing Feng Daâs words.
âOh right, Miss, thereâs another thing. Wu Qianâer was beaten up again a few days ago.â Two drops of cold sweat hung on Ning Deâs forehead as he thought, Alas! Violent freak, unlucky Wu Qianâer!
âBeaten up by who? It seems like she has a lot of enemies,â Leng Ruoxue asked curiously. That Wu Qianâer was really unlucky. However, she didnât want the person who beat up Wu Qianâer to ruin her matter. Therefore, she hoped that Wu Qianâer didnât lose an arm or a leg. Otherwise, she definitely wouldnât let the person who beat Wu Qianâer off!
âI donât know.â Ning De was also a little puzzled. He knew that Miss and the others definitely didnât do this. Who could it be? He couldnât understand.
âIs Wu Qianâerâs injury serious?â Leng Ruoxue asked with concern.
âNot serious, just some superficial wounds. She went on stage normally the next day after taking our associationâs pills.â Ning De said with a naughty smile. Hehe, he gave Wu Qianâer the Snake Accumulation Pill that he refined together last time!
âYes, well done. Wu Qianâer canât be absent from the competition,â Leng Ruoxue praised.
âMiss, weâve arrived at the venue of the flower appreciation festival,â the little peacock suddenly interrupted. It took off as soon as Ning De sat on its back. However, because the venue was not very far, it only flew for a few minutes before reaching its destination.
âOkay.â Leng Ruoxue and the others jumped down from the little peacockâs back. The little peacook landed at the entrance they entered from on the first day. Moreover, there was no one else at the door except for the guards.
The group walked straight into the venue in a grandiose manner. The guards at the door hurriedly bowed when they saw them and then watched their backs very respectfullyâ¦
âMiss Leng, youâre finally here.â The Fifth Elder, who had been waiting in the venue, ran to them as soon as Leng Ruoxue and the others entered.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFifth Elder?â Leng Ruoxue looked doubtfully at the Fifth Elder, whose eyes were brimming with tears. Uh! What was going on? Why did Fifth Elder look like he had seen a long-lost relative when he saw their expressions? Was there a need to?
âMiss Leng, quickly give me the antidote to the appearance changing pill! Boohooâ¦â Fifth Elder choked. It had been five days, and he had been in deep water and fire every day. The patriarch and First Elder laughed hysterically when they saw him, while the other elders and clansmen kept staring at him doubtfully. No matter where he went, almost everyone would find an excuse to follow him, afraid that he would sneak into the Guan Yue family to cause trouble. Boohoo⦠He was really too pitiful.
âHaha, Fifth Elder, I canât give you the antidote if you still want to sit with us today!â Leng Ruoxue said with a smile. Hehe! She really forgot about the antidote. However, she believed that Fifth Elderâs life these few days must be very exciting!
âMiss Leng, Iâm not sitting with you anymore,â the Fifth Elder said tactfully. It was the last day. He was helpless alone if anything really happened. He knew very well that the patriarch could not stop Leng Ruoxue and the others from finding trouble if they really wanted to. Therefore, he shouldnât court disaster!
âOh, then eat this!â Leng Ruoxue took out a pill from her ring and handed it to the Fifth Elder.
âThank you, Miss Leng.â Fifth Elder took the pill and hurriedly threw it into his mouth.
âFifth Elder, please tell your patriarch that the flower appreciation meeting will end today.. The time limit I gave him is three days,â Leng Ruoxue reminded him. After speaking, she led everyone past the Fifth Elder and walked toward their seats from last timeâ¦
