âThat⦠we will do our best to help Young Lady Leng find the lost item. It is getting late. We will take our leave first.â After Yu Tian finished speaking, he pulled the shopkeeper and fled as if his buttocks were on fire. Boohoo⦠if he continued, the Old Ancestor would probably come out to settle the score with them.
âWhy did he run away? I havenât finished speaking!â Lü Tao looked at Yu Tianâs back and complained.
âIâve already become a family heirloom. How could he still dare to stay here?!â Little Flame said with understanding. Uh, family heirlooms were very valuable.
âYouâre just a small snake.â Leng Ruoxue placed Little Flame in her palm and gently tapped its little head.
âIâm not a snake. Iâm a family heirloom,âLittle Flame said very stubbornly. A family heirloom was much more important than a small snake, so it wanted to be a family heirloom.
âLittle Flame, you are not lost, so you canât be a family heirloom,â reminded Lü Tao with some amusement.
âThen Iâm also a family heirloom. Humph! Iâll bite whoever dares to say that Iâm not!â Little Flame glared with its crystal-like eyes and threatened.
âEh!â Everyone was speechless. Little Flame actually threatened them. Boohoo⦠This was really too much.
âYouâre a family heirloom, definitely!â Feng Miao was the first to surrender. She had witnessed the tragedy outside with her own eyes, so she absolutely supported this little fellow. From now on, she would not go against anything that this little fellow said!
âEn, youâre still the smart one!â Little Flame nodded with satisfaction. Then, its fiery red crystal eyes lightly swept over everyone.
âYou are afamily heirloom!â Everyone said in unison, extremely spineless.
Hearing everyoneâs words, Little Flame was satisfied. Then, it formed a circle in Leng Ruoxueâs palm and happily slept.
âGirl, you wonât blame me for taking the liberty to use other herbs to exchange for that snow ginseng, right?â After a while, the little old man asked. Even though he knew that the girl wouldnât hide it from him and blame him, he still felt a little uncertain since he hadnât heard her say it herself.
âHehe, no way! We donât have any snow ginseng,â Leng Ruoxue chuckled. Sigh! Grandpa Du was thinking too much. She knew what happened back then, how could she blame him!
âHehe! Lass! This time, the Lan family will be implicated by that woman,â the little old man said with a wicked smile. Doing such a thing in the Shadow Leagueâs territory was really courting death! Now, even the Lan family might not be able to protect her.
âIf she didnât use âForgetten Soulâ, I wouldnât have dragged the Shadow League into this.â Leng Ruoxue saw that there were no outsiders and that she wasnât acting anymore, so she told the truth. In fact, when the woman had just taken action, she had already discovered it. Originally, she only wanted Little Flame to bite her to punish her, but who knew that the knockout drug that the woman used was actually the âForgotten soulâ that made people want to die? Therefore, she was a little angry at the time, so she decided to beat her at her own game and blow things up. And the need to use snow ginseng to solve âForgetten Soulâ was definitely unexpected for the Shadow League to have a thousand-year-old snow ginseng. Otherwise, she would probably still be âunconsciousâ for some time!
âLass, even though I donât know what relationship that woman has with the Lan Clan, she shouldnât be a member of the Lan Clan. Do you think the Shadow League will vent their anger on the Lan Clan?â The little old man asked worriedly. Uh! He had some ties with that old geezer from the Lan Clan, so he naturally didnât want to see any harm come to the Lan Clan.
âEven though the Shadow League is mysterious and unfathomable, they shouldnât fall out with the Lan Clan over such a small matter. However, after such a thing happened in the Shadow City, the Shadow Leagueâs face must be recovered. So, itâs inevitable for the Lan Clan to lose some money.â Leng Ruoxue analyzed after thinking for a while. Her relationship with Lan Ming wasnât bad, so she naturally didnât want to make things difficult for the Lan Clan. Moreover, it was hard to say whether the old man from the Lan Clan recognized this woman or not! Moreover, with her understanding of that old man, that cunning old man would definitely not acknowledge this debt.
âYes, but it wonât be easy to get money from the Lan family.â The little old man nodded in agreement.
âHehe, Grandpa Du, we donât have to worry about this. Itâs getting late, everyone should rest early!â Leng Ruoxue smiled and said. Sigh! Because of a woman who doesnât know the immensity of heaven and earth, they actually went through so much trouble. This was really too much. Aunt couldnât tolerate it. However, she blamed this on Lan Lie.
âMiss, we want to sleep in the space.â Feng Dao and the others exchanged glances and then said in unison.
âHaha, alright!â Leng Ruoxue chuckled. With a thought, she brought everyone into the space.
Two days later.
Leng Ruoxue and the others finally left the bracelet.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
For the past two days, they had been staying in the space. During this time, only Feng Miao followed Leng Ruoxueâs instructions and went to deliver the medicinal herbs to the housekeeper. The others didnât leave the room at all. At the same time, Feng Miao also informed the manager not to disturb them unless it was something important.
When Leng Ruoxue and her group walked down the stairs and arrived at the hall on the first floor, the shopkeeper quickly came up to them and bowed slightly before asking, âWould everyone like to eat something?â
âSure! Shopkeeper, did anything fun happen in the Shadow City in the past two days?â Leng Ruoxue asked curiously while looking at the shopkeeper with a smile.
âUh!â Cold sweat broke out on the shopkeeperâs forehead as he hesitated whether he should say it or not.
âShopkeeper, has the whereabouts of the thief who stole our ladyâs things been found?â Lü Tao asked with anticipation.
âUh! Iâm not too sure about this. Itâs Butler Yu whoâs in charge.â The shopkeeper pushed the blame onto Yu Tian.
âOh! After weâre done eating, letâs go look for Butler Yu! Itâs been two days, there should be some progress!â Leng Ruoxue said lightly. Actually, she knew clearly that Butler Yu was in a dilemma! After all, this matter involved the Lan family.
âIâll go prepare food for everyone.â After the shopkeeper said that, he left the place as if he was running for his life.
Leng Ruoxue and the others simply ate some food. After that, they majestically went to find Yu Tian.
When they arrived at the entrance of Butler Yuâs residence, Leng Ruoxue gave Feng Da a look. Feng Da walked up and knocked on the door a few timesâ¦
Creak! The door opened and a guard walked out. When he saw Leng Ruoxue and the others, he politely asked, âWho are you looking for?â
