Chapter Eighty-Three: Meeting the Man in Black
"Grandpa, aren't you worried about your granddaughter's errands?" Leng Ruoxue hugged Leng Qingtian's arm and said coquettishly. ()
"Of course I'm relieved, but you also have to explain it to grandpa, otherwise grandpa will be worried." Leng Qingtian said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay."
Leng Ruoxue didn't tease grandpa, and went through the cooperation between the two countries in detail from beginning to end...
In fact, her harvest when she went to Nanxi this time was quite large, at least, she knew a lot of secret things from the mouth of the emperor and queen of Nanxi, including the matter of her father and mother back then, and she didn't expect that the emperor and queen of Nanxi knew more than her grandfather, and this made her even more determined, she was determined to get rid of the Xu family.
"Cher, what are your plans?" After listening to all the things told by his granddaughter, Leng Qingtian asked with a solemn expression, this Xu family's ambition is too big, and he actually wants to...
"Grandpa, hasn't the Xu family been waiting for news from the other four? I decided to reveal these things to those families, if they still choose to cooperate with the Xu family, I'm afraid they won't be in agreement. Leng Ruoxue explained that she decided to use the divisive strategy, but she knew very well that even if she didn't use it, those families would not be able to be unanimous.
"What about the royal family?" Leng Qingtian nodded, and then asked worriedly, the shili of the royal family is not weaker than the five great families, if they all...
"Grandpa, don't worry, the five great families and the royal family are no different in status, so far only Xiyun Kingdom is within the absolute control of the Xu family, and the other Xu families have not been able to completely succeed, but this time the bait under the Xu family is quite big." Leng Ruoxue didn't expect that those people actually cared so much about the quota of the secret realm, but the other three countries were not as good as Dongchi and Nanxi in terms of strength, so she didn't worry too much, but those big families were more difficult to deal with.
"Xue'er, you still can't understand what the quota in the secret realm means to others?" Leng Qingtian said with some sighs, although Xue'er didn't know, he knew it very well.
For thousands of years, every time before the secret realm appears, the major families will reshuffle the cards, just like their Leng family, thinking that their Leng family used to be the top family of the Lingfeng Continent, but later... It declined, and it didn't rise again until his generation, so he felt it very deeply.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Yu, they..."
"Don't worry, grandpa will send them back in a few days." Leng Qingtian understood what his granddaughter meant, and at the same time, he also knew very well that with his relationship with Old Man Yu, if he and Old Man Yu got along, the old man would definitely stay and help, but this matter... He couldn't and didn't want to involve them.
"Grandpa, I'll go see Guo Yong and them." Leng Ruoxue nodded, turned around and left Leng Qingtian's study.
Leng Ruoxue came to the courtyard where Guo Yong's brothers lived, and as soon as she entered the gate of the courtyard, she saw that the two brothers didn't know why, they were fighting red-faced, and they were about to fight...
"What are you doing here?" Leng Ruoxue shook her head helplessly and approached the two of them.
"Uncle Shi, you came just in time, you give us a review!" Guo Yong snorted coldly, glanced at Guo Qiang, and said directly to Leng Ruoxue.
"What are you arguing about?" Leng Ruoxue was curious, is this a refining weapon?
"I want to refine the weapon, and he has to come and mix it up." Guo Qiang explained with anger on his face.
"You put the wrong material, of course I got it." Guo Yong said as a matter of course, he didn't think he was wrong.
"That's also my business, my materials, I can put it if I want!" Guo Qiang immediately sneered at each other and roared without showing weakness.
"You're going to fight for this?" Leng Ruoxue is really speechless, these two people are not old together, don't be so naïve!
"Humph!" Both snorted and turned their heads away at the same time, ignoring each other.
"I've got something to look for you." Leng Ruoxue changed the topic and said to the two of them, she didn't plan to get involved in the battle between the two of them, after all, each craftsman's habits and techniques of refining weapons were different, how could she generalize.
"What's the matter? Teacher! The two turned their heads at the same time and looked at Leng Ruoxue with a flattering expression.
"Isn't there anything going on with your Instrument Master Guild?" Leng Ruoxue asked a little implicitly, the implication is, should you go back, and the eyes of these two people also made her hairs stand up, it was really unbearable...
Guo Yong and Guo Qiang looked at each other, and as soon as the two of them heard Leng Ruoxue's words, they immediately understood that they were driving people here, but they didn't want to leave yet!
"Uncle Shi, don't worry, the Instrument Master Guild is very idle, and there are generally no major incidents, and we don't need to deal with it." Guo Yong explained with a smile, and automatically converted Leng Ruoxue's words into concern.
"Yes, Uncle Shi, don't worry, don't worry about us." Guo Qiang was also very cooperative, and his face was also smiling.
These two people are obviously playing stupid with her! Leng Ruoxue was a little speechless, what did these two people want? To tell the truth, the two of them have lived in the General's Mansion for several days, but they rarely look for her, which can't help but make her a little puzzled, what is their purpose? This is a question that Leng Ruoxue has been thinking about.
"Oh, in that case, then you can live here in peace, I'm leaving." Leng Ruoxue said a little depressed, turned around and left.
Returning to Tingxuexuan's courtyard, Leng Ruoxue sat listlessly on the stone bench on the left side of the courtyard.
"Cher, what's wrong with you?" The demon walked over from the other side and asked with concern, Xue'er's mood doesn't seem to be high!
"I originally wanted Guo Yong and them to leave first, but they didn't return, because I underestimated their cheekiness." Leng Ruoxue said helplessly, her beautiful face was full of troubles, alas! How do you get those two people to leave automatically? She didn't want the two of them to get involved in this, after all, the Instrument Guild was different from the family and the royal family.
"Why don't I just go and get them away?" The demon proposed, Xue'er is embarrassed, then let him be the villain.
"Forget it, they can live if they want, but you can't let them know about it." Leng Ruoxue frowned slightly and thought about it.
"Cher, actually... If the Instrument Master Guild could also become our allies, the Xu family would be much easier to deal with. The demon reminded.
The Instrument Master Guild is a no-liliang! As long as the Instrument Master Guild roars, there will be many strong people willing to serve it, of course, the same is true for the Danshi Guild and the Beast Tamer Guild, these three major guilds do not seem to have much strength on the surface, but their hidden strength is incalculable.
"Demons, I don't want them to get involved."
In Leng Ruoxue's heart, her impression of the Instrument Master Guild was much better than that of the Danshi Guild and the Beast Tamer Guild, and she knew very well that as long as she spoke, Guo Yong and Guo Qiang would definitely not hesitate to stand on her side, but she felt that as an instrument master, it was enough to concentrate on refining weapons, and there was no need to get involved in these things, besides, she was also afraid that she would show the news about this matter, so she didn't want too many people to know.
"Xue'er, not all the instrument masters, Dan masters, and animal tamers are as high as you think, and most of them still value fame and fortune." The demon explained that in this world, people live for fame, fortune and status, so it is simply impossible to transcend the world, and few people can do it.
"Here, demon, let's go to the palace!" Cold as snow, she had to go and see how the old man was preparing.
The demon nodded, and sat on Yu's back with Leng Ruoxue, flying in the direction of the palace.
After arriving at the palace, Yu had just landed in the remote palace when an old voice came.
"Girl doll, you're here."
"How's the preparations, old man?" Leng Ruoxue jumped off Yu's back and asked bluntly.
"It's almost, where are you?" The old man asked with concern, he has everything on his side, and he only owes the east wind.
"Old man, I have important things to do with you." Leng Ruoxue looked around vigilantly and said in a voice.
"Girl doll, don't scare me, okay? I'm old, and I can't help but be scared. Seeing Leng Ruoxue's heart, the old man couldn't stand it and said, what is the important thing, so anxious?
"Enter the inner sanctum!" Leng Ruoxue reminded, hum! Stinky old man, I have to scare you to death after listening to it!
"Let's go!" Over, the old man led Leng Ruoxue and the demon into the inner hall together.
"Girl, is it okay now?" The old man said in a hurry, this girl is really bad, deliberately adjusting his appetite, it's really hateful!
Leng Ruoxue saw that the old man was in a hurry, so she didn't dwell on it, and detailed the news she heard from Nan Xiguo to the old man.
"Female doll, is this news accurate?" The old man looked shocked, his eyes widened, and he looked at Leng Ruoxue in disbelief and asked.
Leng Ruoxue nodded, when the emperor of Nanxi Kingdom told them these things, he was afraid that they would not believe it, so he made a contract, and the binding force of this shijie on the contract was very terrifying, so those news were absolutely credible, besides, she believed that other royal families or families would definitely hear about it.
"I really didn't expect that the Xu family's ambition was even bigger than I imagined." The old man was a little angry, but he said helplessly.
The Xu family has ambitions, which is no secret among their top shili, but which shili will not have a little ambition? That's not realistic at all, so as long as the Xu family doesn't take the initiative to provoke them, no family or royal family is willing to deal with the Xu family, after all, if he loses with the Xu family, the fisherman will only benefit others.
"Isn't that a sign for a long time?" Leng Ruoxue said lightly, the Xu family's hand has long been extended to various royal families and families, and even the major academies he has not let go, and this time it was because he had to deal with her, so his ambition was exposed in advance.
"So what now?" The old man couldn't help but ask, yes, although they have long known about the Xu family's restlessness, but no one has ever thought of dealing with the Xu family, but I am afraid that now the Xu family's wings have hardened, alas! What a miscalculation!
"It's not too late to deal with him." Leng Ruoxue chuckled and comforted, to be honest, she didn't expect that the Xu family would unintentionally expose all of her shili in order to get the quota of the secret realm, I don't know, is this considered stealing chickens and rice?
"Girl, this... Do the other four great families know? The old man asked with some curiosity, his face full of anticipation.
"I should know a little bit, but it's definitely not as clear as Nanxiguo's investigation, but I've already sent someone to inform them, and as for whether they believe it or not, it's not up to me to decide." Leng Ruoxue said disapprerovingly, the Feng family and the Huo family would definitely believe it, and she didn't dare to guarantee the Ye family and the Shui family, after all, those two families had people who didn't like her, and besides, they wanted to get the quota of the secret realm so much, it was estimated that they should be overwhelmed by the benefits.
"Then I'll rest assured, as long as their five great families don't unite." The old man touched his heart a little and said, as if relieved.
"It's not good, after all, the person they want to deal with now is me, not you for the time being." Leng Ruoxue added fuel to the fire, and at the same time, it was also a preventive shot for this old man, so that he would not take it seriously.
"Girl doll, can't you let my poor old man breathe a sigh of relief?" The old man glared at Leng Ruoxue and complained.
"Old man, don't you want a place in the secret realm?" Leng Ruoxue said suddenly.
"Of course I want to, but..."
"But you don't worry about these children and grandchildren, do you?" Leng Ruoxue said clearly, this old man is now at the peak of Lingzun, so she doesn't believe that this old man has stayed in the palace because he can't break through.
"Female doll, if there is such a smart person as you among my descendants, I don't care about the old man!" The old man's face was full of helplessness, this Dongchi Country is the base camp of their Li family, and it can't be lost!
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, do you still want to manage it for a lifetime? How long does this have to go? Leng Ruoxue disagreed very much, if the descendants are not angry, even if the ancestors leave a lot of things, they will be lost sooner or later.
"Girl, old man, I'm not as open as you think." The old man sighed and said.
"That's why you're so old." Leng Ruoxue suddenly said this.
"Does it have anything to do with how old I am?" The old man was stunned and said puzzled.
"It's too much to worry about."
“……”
This girl, the one who turns the corner is hurting him! The old man was speechless.
"Old man, let's go, let's start in three days." After Leng Ruoxue finished, he pulled the demon to sit on Yu's back, and with a 'whoosh', he disappeared.
Leng Ruoxue and the demon soon returned to the General's Mansion.
"Demon, rest early today!" Listening to the gate of Xuexuan Courtyard, Leng Ruoxue said to the demons, in the past few days, they have hardly had a good rest.
"Cher, I'll miss you." The demon nodded and said affectionately.
"Well, go back to your room and go to bed." Leng Ruoxue walked into the room, and when the words fell, the door was closed.
Cher, Cher, why are you so confused? Looking at the closed door, the demon couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.
The three days passed quickly.
Late at night, Leng Ruoxue and the demon came to the palace to meet the old man.
"Old man, you and the emperor all the way, me and Sister Mo all the way, you must catch them all, don't leave any fish that slips through the net." Leng Ruoxue reminded, and casually handed them a bottle of elixir, this medicine was newly refined by her, and the effect was definitely several times better than what she gave Fu Mingzhu at the beginning.
Tonight, their purpose is to get rid of the minions that the Xu family has planted in Dongchi Kingdom, and Grandpa Lin will also do it at the same time, her grandfather has already gone to Fengtian Academy to assist them.
"Don't worry, you won't let go of a fish." Li Yuan assured that the person who threatened his rule, how could he possibly let him live on this shijie.
After assigning the task, Leng Ruoxue and the others divided into two ways and went straight to the Mo family and the Fu family.
Leng Ruoxue and the demon, as well as Mo Yingyue, soon came to the Mo family's mansion.
Under the leadership of Mo Yingyue, the three of them soon came to the main house where the head of the Mo family lived.
"Sister Mo, how are you going to deal with them?" Before entering the house, Leng Ruoxue asked softly, she arranged for Mo Yingyue to come to the Mo family, just hoping to let Mo Yingyue handle the family's affairs by herself.
"I'm going to make them worse off than dead." Mo Yingyue said with hatred, in fact, in the Mo family, what she hated the most was the grandfather of the family, followed by her self-righteous and arrogant uncle, but she knew that now was not the time to kill them, their purpose tonight was just to control them.
"Then let's go in now." Leng Ruoxue nodded and said, life is better than death, she likes it!
"Okay." Mo Yingyue was the first to push open the door and the first to walk into the house.
"You... What are you doing here? The head of the Mo family, who was about to go to bed, said with some surprise, his queen's granddaughter came back, but no one informed him, hum! What a dereliction of duty these servants had.
"What? Grandpa, can't I come? Mo Yingyue said lightly, always with a sweet smile on her face.
"Of course not, I mean, I didn't let anyone tell me." The head of the Mo family held back the anger in his heart and said, Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that his master wanted him not to conflict with the royal family now, how could he be so good?
"The briefing is too slow." Mo Yingyue explained, the guards and servants in the courtyard are probably sleeping soundly now!
"Then did you come to see Grandpa?" The head of the Mo family picked up the shelf of the head of the family, sat on the chair and said.
"It's something."
"Oh, who are these two?" The Mo family master's gaze suddenly turned to Leng Ruoxue and the demon, and he couldn't see the cultivation of these two people? It's so strange, he's also a Spirit Emperor? Therefore, he would never believe that these two beautiful guys who look less than 20 years old will be above him.
"Doesn't Grandpa want to see Leng Ruoxue? The granddaughter brought her in. Mo Yingyue said with a smile on her face.
"You're just cold as snow?" The head of the Mo family was shocked in his heart, could it be that Leng Ruoxue's strength was so strong that even he couldn't see it?
"Yes." Leng Ruoxue nodded lightly, and casually looked at the head of the Mo family by the way.
This Mo family master is about seventy years old, his appearance is very ordinary, his eyes are extremely shrewd, his strength is okay, he is a high-level spirit emperor, but her impression of this Mo family master is not very good, and she really hates the Mo family master's eyes, which are always full of calculations.
"It turned out to be Sister Leng, the old man was rude, the old man has admired Sister Leng's name for a long time, but he has never been able to see it, it's a pity!" The head of the Mo family said with a look of disgust.
"Sister Mo, let's get down to business!" Leng Ruoxue didn't bother to look at the head of the Mo family, and said directly to Mo Yingyue.
"Grandpa, I'm here today in the hope that you can make you the head of the family." Mo Yingyue nodded, and said very coldly, as if hers was an ordinary thing.
"You... You what? The head of the Mo family was so angry that his old face turned blue, and he yelled loudly, it was so unfilial, how could he have such a granddaughter.
"I want my grandfather to give up the position of head of the family." Mo Yingyue repeated patiently, she knew that the old ancestor and Ruoxue decided not to kill the people of the Mo family, all for the sake of her face, since this was the case, of course she couldn't let them down, the Mo family, she must be in her own hands.
"You unfilial grandson, come on! Kick her out for me, the Mo family will not welcome her in the future. The head of the Mo family shouted directly outside, the whole body was trembling with anger, and he kept panting.
"Grandpa, dissipate your anger." Mo Yingyue said with concern, and directly stepped forward to pinch her grandfather's mouth and threw a pill into it.
"Ahem! What did you give me? The head of the Mo family grabbed his throat in panic and wanted to spit out the medicine, but the pill melted in his mouth and was long gone.
"Don't worry, it's not poison, it can't kill people." Mo Yingyue said disapprerovantly, I don't know how long Ruoxue's medicine can last, do you want to take a few more pills?
"Sister Mo, one grain is enough." Leng Ruoxue saw through Mo Yingyue's thoughts, and said with some amusement, the ** pill she newly refined would not wake up at all unless there was an antidote.
"Oh, grandpa, now you pass on the position of head of the family to me!" Mo Yingyue tried to say with a little curiosity.
"Okay, pass it on to you." The head of the Mo family was very obedient.
"Tomorrow morning you will announce the news, and if there are any opponents, they will be removed." Before Mo Yingyue left the Mo family master's room, she ordered.
"Well, opponents, there is no mercy for killing!" The head of the Mo family responded viciously.
The three of them immediately left the Mo family master's room, and after that, Mo Yingyue did the same to her uncle and several elders in the family, and in this way, in less than an hour, the entire Mo family was in the hands of Mo Yingyue.
"Sister Mo, I can't see it, you're quite black-bellied." On the way out of the Mo family, Leng Ruoxue smiled and joked, Sister Mo is so bad that she actually ordered Mo Changhe not to touch any woman in his life.
"Humph! There is no heavier punishment for him. Mo Yingyue explained with a smile that her uncle's biggest hobby was women, so that he was not allowed to touch women in his life, it was definitely more uncomfortable than killing him, but...
"Ruoxue, will they really listen to me all the time?" Mo Yingyue couldn't help but ask, did Ruoxue take this medicine too well?
"Of course! Sister Mo, you have to have confidence in me, Sister Ben is an honest and good child, she will not panic and deceive, and she is absolutely innocent. Leng Ruoxue patted her chest and reassured.
The demon on the side listened quietly to the conversation between the two women, cold sweat flowed on his forehead, and his heart kept tingling, women are really terrible, these two women must not be allowed to meet often in the future, otherwise the man will be in danger!
After arriving at the place where everyone met and met, Leng Ruoxue found that her team was actually the fastest, grandpa and the old man would have nothing to do, right? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be a little worried.
After waiting for a while, Leng Qingtian and Lin Liang also arrived.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Lin, why are you so slow?" Leng Ruoxue was a little puzzled.
"Xue'er, we met a team of people in black at Chen's house, if it weren't for me and Old Man Lin joining forces, wouldn't we be able to get out now?" Leng Qingtian explained.
"The Man in Black?" Speaking of the man in black, Leng Ruoxue couldn't help but think of the man in black they met before the academy competition.
"Oh no, let's go to Fu's house!" Leng Ruoxue said suddenly, grandpa they met the man in black, and the old man's team may also meet him, and the strength of the old man's team is far worse than that of grandpa!
"Ruoxue, will something happen to Yuan and the old ancestor?" Mo Yingyue asked a little nervously.
"Let's hurry over, we're in a hurry." Leng Ruoxue comforted, and Mo Yingyue, whose nervous hands and feet were a little cold, said.
When Leng Ruoxue and the others arrived at Fu's house, as they thought, the old man was fighting with several black-clothed people, and several of the old man's spirit beasts were also released, one was protecting Li Yuan, who was already injured, and the other were entangled with other black-clothed people...
"I, you old man, why are you so back-to-back, you actually met so many people in black." Seeing the embarrassed look of the high-ranking old ancestor, Leng Qingtian joked in a good mood that this old man had met twice as many people in black as them!
"That's a lot of nonsense, don't hurry up and help." The old man, who was dodging the attack of the man in black left and right, shouted angrily, you can't let these people run away, otherwise, tonight's Jihua will be considered a failure, but after seeing Leng Qingtian and them coming, his hanging heart finally let go.
"I'm coming!" Leng Qingtian jumped high, suspended in mid-air, and casually released Lei Xiao.
"Lei Xiao, you go and help those beasts!" After Leng Qingtian gave the order, he directly joined the battle, and his joining instantly relieved the pressure on the old man.
"Yes, master." Lei Xiao responded, flapped his wings, and pounced directly towards a man in black.
"Yuan, how are you?" At this time, Mo Yingyue couldn't care about the danger, and ran to Li Yuan's side worriedly, with tears in her eyes, and asked nervously.
"Yue'er, I'm fine, don't worry." Li Yuan hugged his beloved wife tightly and comforted.
"After so much blood, how can it be okay." Mo Yingyue didn't believe Li Yuan's words at all, and tears flowed down her eyes.
"It's not all my blood, really, trust me." Li Yuan coaxed helplessly.
Suddenly, Li Yuan only felt a flash of cold light in front of him, so he didn't think about it, and tightly took Mo Yingyue into his arms, and he stood in front of Mo Yingyue...
