“So what if I can’t come and see you?” The master of the ning family deliberately pulled a long face and said with some displeasure.
“Sure, but, Godfather, I still hope that you can have a good rest, because we will be leaving here tomorrow to meet up with Feng Da and the others.” Leng ruoxue reminded.
“Uh! Why are you in such a hurry?” The master of the ning family was surprised.
“Mm! I’m afraid that Feng Da and the others will be worried if I don’t go back for too long. ” Leng ruoxue said honestly.
“Xue ‘er has a point, we should leave this place.” At this moment, first elder chimed in. After he finished speaking, he even shot a look at the Cheng clan’s clan head. However, Leng ruoxue pretended not to see first elder and the Cheng clan’s clan head exchanging flirtatious looks.
“So, there’s still one day left. You should go back to your room and rest. Otherwise, you won’t have the energy to deal with those monsters.” Leng ruoxue smiled faintly.
“Xue ‘er, I have something to discuss with you.” Seeing that Leng ruoxue wasn’t even looking at him, the head of the Cheng clan had no choice but to speak directly.
“Patriarch Cheng, if you have something to say, just say it!” Leng ruoxue knew what was going on. She laughed in her heart. It seemed like this old man couldn’t keep his cool anymore. However, he really had to worry about those troublesome descendants.
“Um ... I know that some of the Cheng family’s elders are insensible and have annoyed you. Can you give me face and not hold it against them? Don’t worry! Our Cheng family will pay for their expenses in full, and I guarantee that there won’t be a single cent less. ” The master of the Cheng family promised. After he knew that someone from the Cheng family had joined in the trouble, he immediately went to find the old man of the ning family and the great elder. At first, those two old men didn’t intend to help and only looked at him sympathetically. In the end, he said a lot of good things and promised a lot of unfair conditions before they were willing to go with him. Boo...These two old things were disloyal!
“Cheng family head! Originally, I shouldn’t have argued with them because of you, but now is a critical time, and I have to be extra careful. They clearly look down on me, so why should I care about their life and death? I’ve just decided to return some people’s accommodation fees. Their life or death is up to you. ” Leng ruoxue said emotionlessly.
“Xue ‘er, I’ll apologize on their behalf, okay?” The head of the Cheng clan bitterly said with hidden bitterness.
“Patriarch Cheng, I didn’t want to tell you about this at first, but since it’s come to this, I don’t intend to hide it from you. It’s also good to let you be mentally prepared.” Leng ruoxue hesitated for a moment after hearing master Cheng’s words, then slowly replied.
“What is it?” Seeing Leng ruoxue’s serious expression, master ning, first elder, and master Cheng all looked at her seriously.
“There’s a hidden chess piece of the Men in Black around you. That person has been lurking around you all this time, waiting for the opportunity to strike. However, I haven’t found this person yet, so everyone in this house is suspicious.” Leng ruoxue didn’t beat around the bush and said directly.
“What? This, this is true?” The master of the ning family asked in surprise.
“En!” Leng ruoxue nodded.
“Xue ‘er, you don’t have any clues at all?” The great elder asked worriedly. If there was such a time bomb around them, their safety would be a big problem!
“The time is too short, so I haven’t caught that person’s trail yet. However, I’m trying my best.” Leng ruoxue explained.
“If there’s anything you need our cooperation with, just tell us, girl!” The master of the ning family sighed.
“Godfather! It’s a critical time now. If the people in the clan can’t be of one mind, then it’s better to give up on such clansmen. ” Leng ruoxue’s words were very subtle, but the three of them, who were experienced with age, understood the meaning between the lines. Instantly, the great elder and master ning’s eyes turned to master Cheng at the same time.
The head of the Cheng family laughed bitterly. He knew that Leng ruoxue’s words were meant for him because there were some troublesome descendants. However, as the old ancestor of the Cheng family, he really hoped to bring everyone who was brought into the mystic realm out safely. Furthermore, those people could be considered the elites of the Cheng family. If they lost them, it would be a huge loss for the Cheng family.
After some thought, the head of the Cheng family said,”Xue ‘er, there are some people in the Cheng family who are not easy to worry about, but they are still very loyal to the Cheng family. So, as the head of the family and the ancestor of the Cheng family, I can’t abandon them. How about this? I’ll give you the cost of their departure without any difference. As for their behavior, I’ll control them. If they still don’t repent, then I’ll definitely put righteousness before family.”
Clan head Cheng’s tone was one of negotiation. From this, it could be seen that he valued Leng ruoxue’s attitude. Seeing that old man Cheng had already put it this way, Leng ruoxue could only nod her head and say the ugly words first,””Patriarch Cheng, I’ll give them one more chance. I hope you can restrain them. However, if they’re incited by others again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
“Of course! I’ll go back and teach them a good lesson. They definitely won’t dare to do it again. ” The head of the Cheng clan promised.
After he finished speaking, he nodded to Leng ruoxue and the rest before turning around and leaving the room.
After master Cheng left, master ning continued to ask with a serious face,””Xue ‘er, do you have any suspicions about this hidden chess piece?”
“Godfather! This hidden chess piece’s strength should be at reverent-god level. ” Leng ruoxue said with certainty. When they had first entered this place, Leng ruoxue had arranged for Qing Jue to investigate the people here. Qing Jue had used his mind-reading technique on those below the reverent-god level. However, he had not found the hidden chess piece that they were looking for. With Qing Jue’s current strength, reverent-god level was the only one that he could not use his mind-reading technique on. Hence, he had no way of checking on the reverent-god level experts here. As such, their search had been narrowed down.
“Reverent-God? In that case, aren’t I a suspect?” The master of the ning family blinked his eyes, finding it hard to believe. Besides, he couldn’t understand how a Supreme God, who was already a top expert in the divine world, could become someone else’s hidden chess piece. This was really unbelievable.
“Yup! However, I believe that Godfather isn’t this hidden chess piece. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have told you about this. ” Leng ruoxue said with a smile.
“Godfather! You’ve been in contact with them for a long time, do you think anyone is suspicious?” Leng ruoxue asked again.
“Suspicious? In terms of suspicion, the reason we came to this secret realm was all because of that old plague. Originally, we didn’t plan to come, but we couldn’t stand his persuasion and we didn’t want to be looked down by him, so we decided to take the risk with him. ” The master of the ning family said after some thought.
“He can indeed be listed as a suspect, but I think he’s injured.” Leng ruoxue said. Based on her observation, that old man seemed to be quite badly injured.
