âOh, looks like Ning De wants to take them down a notch! Has Ning De not been looking for us for the past two days?â Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement. That shouldnât be the case. That Ning De fellow reported almost every day.
âHe came once. However, Ling told him that you were refining pills and that Feng Da and the others were cultivating, so he didnât come again,â the freak explained.
âBig Sister, Ning De also went back to concoct pills,â Qing Jue added in front of Leng Ruoxue and the others.
âOh, freak, letâs go out,â Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. If she remembered correctly, today should be the last day of the deadline she gave Guan Yue Long.
âYes.â The freak and Empty nodded.
âMommy, take me out to play!â At this moment, Little Fire emerged from nowhere and jumped into Leng Ruoxueâs arms coquettishly.
âAlas! Alright then!â Leng Ruoxue looked at Little Fireâs cute appearance and couldnât bear to refuse.
âHehe, Little Fire loves Mommy the most,â Huoâer said happily.
Leng Ruoxue gently caressed the soft fur on Little Fireâs body and brought the two of them and the beast out of the bracelet with a thought.
In the yard, Rise, which was basking in the sun, immediately crawled over and coiled around Leng Ruoxueâs wrist after sensing her masterâs aura.
âRise, youâve worked hard.â Leng Ruoxue caressed Riseâs golden scales.
âHehe, not at all,â Rise said shyly.
âXueâer, where are we going?â the freak asked curiously.
âLetâs go out for a walk! Weâll visit the Guan Yue family on the way,â Leng Ruoxue said. Guan Yue Long had come twice but hadnât seen her. However, she didnât think Guan Yue Long had thought of a good way.
âOkay.â The freak and Empty nodded. The three of them and two beasts left the Alchemist Association. However, they were stopped by a person who looked like a guard just as they walked out of the Alchemist Association.
Leng Ruoxue raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the person blocking their way. She said lightly, âWhat do you mean?â Judging from the clothes on this person, it was undoubtedly the Guan Yue family.
âMiss Leng, our patriarch requests an audience,â the guard said very respectfully. He was the patriarchâs attendant, so he knew a little about Leng Ruoxueâs identity, so his attitude was very respectful.
âOh,â Leng Ruoxue answered softly and stopped talking. It seemed that old fellow Guan Yue Long had learned to wait for the rabbit.
The guard was stunned after hearing what Leng Ruoxue said. What did this mean? Was Miss Leng going to see him or not?
âLead the way!â Leng Ruoxue said with some amusement seeing the cautious appearance of the guard in front of her. In fact, she was going to the Guan Yue family anyway, so she could take advantage of the situation.
âYes,â the guard said happily. Boohoo⦠He finally didnât disappoint the patriarch.
âMiss Leng, please,â the guard said respectfully. Then he led the way while Leng Ruoxue and the others walked slowly behind, watching the commotion as they walked. However, she found that people on the streets were pointing at her and whispering not far away.
âEmpty, can you hear what they are saying?â Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement. Those peopleâs voices were too soft. It would be a little difficult for her to hear them with her strength. However, looking at their mouths, it seemed to be related to her. Moreover, it was definitely not something good.
âUh! Xueâer, they said that you snatched someone elseâs fiancé,â Empty said with a black face. With his strength, the whispered discussions of those people could not be hidden from him. He did not really want to tell Xueâer, but since she asked, he had to tell the truth.
âWhat?â Leng Ruoxue was stunned. Rob someone elseâs fiancé? Who did she rob? Why didnât she know?
âNonsense. Iâm enough for Xueâer. Thereâs no need to snatch others.â The freak was furious when he heard that. This person was really too wicked. How dare he frame Xueâer like this. Hmph! This person better not be caught by him. Otherwise, he would definitely suffer a fate worse than death.
âMiss Leng, there have been rumors in the city recently that you stole someone elseâs fiancé and even got someone to injure your love rival,â the guard said carefully. He didnât think it was true, but rumors were terrifying! If there were too many rumors, even if it was fake, it would become true.
âWhose fiancé did I snatch?â Leng Ruoxue asked curiously. There were no other men beside her except for the freak? Could it be Empty?
âXueâer, donât look at me like that. I donât have a fiancée.â Empty knew what was on Xueâerâs mind when he saw her suspicious gaze, so he quickly clarified.
âCould it be Zheng En if itâs not you?â Leng Ruoxue guessed. She hadnât been in the Boundless Heaven Continent for long and didnât know many men. The one who interacted the longest was Empty and Zheng En. Apart from this, she really couldnât think of anyone else.
âIt definitely wonât be Zheng En,â Empty said with certainty.
âCould it be Grandpa Du?â Leng Ruoxue said in surprise.
âXueâer, your imagination is a little too rich! How can it be that old man? Donât forget, the rumors say that you stole someone elseâs fiancé,â Empty said speechlessly. Alas! Even if you wanted to snatch a man, you had to snatch a young and beautiful one. Who would snatch an Old Man Zao!
âBut I didnât snatch it? Ah! Could it be Lan Ming?â Leng Ruoxue continued guessing.
âMiss Leng, you donât have to guess anymore. Our young master has already gone to investigate this matter,â the guard said helplessly.
âOh, then thank the Young Master on my behalf,â Leng Ruoxue said politely and then quietly contacted Qing Jue in her heart.
âBig Sister, whatâs the matter?â Qing Jue asked in puzzlement. As his Big Sisterâs Artifact Spirit, he could feel that his Big Sister was very angry now! Hmph! Which idiot provoked his Big Sister?
âQing Jue, there have been rumors in Guan Yue City recently that I stole someone elseâs fiancé!â Leng Ruoxue said aggrievedly. Boohoo⦠It was enough that she had a freak. Why did she have to snatch another man! This was Hong Guoâs slander. Hmph! She would definitely not let that person go if she knew who deliberately spread this news.
âAh! Thereâs actually such a thing? Itâs really too despicable.â Qing Jue was angry when he heard this. He hurriedly enveloped the entire Moon Gazing City with his Spiritual Sense.. This way, the people who spread the rumors would have nowhere to hide. Hmph! Anyone who dared to bully his sister would die!
