"Got it. Let's go see Grandpa." Leng Ruoxue interrupted the steward's chatter. Two drops of cold sweat hung on her forehead. This old man is really able to talk more and more.
Leng Ruoxue and Freak went to Leng Qingtian's study and called out from outside the door, "Grandpa."
"Xue'er, come in!" Leng Qingtian said from the study.
"Xue'er, why did you come back so late?" Leng Qingtian asked worriedly. Now was a critical period, and Xu Xing had not been found yet. He didn't want his precious granddaughter to be in danger.
"I had a chat with the old man after I went to the palace," Leng Ruoxue said honestly.. She was like an obedient child in front of Leng Qingtian and couldn't ignore her grandfather's concern. After all, only her relatives in the world would know her strength and still worry about her safety, so her heart was full of gratitude.
"Xue'er, is that old man okay?" Leng Qingtian asked with concern. They hadn't seen each other since they returned to Phoenix City.
"Pretty good. I'm just a little worried about Xu Xing," Leng Ruoxue said honestly. She had already suggested that the old man move his descendants to a safe place. He would probably start making arrangements in two days. This way, even if Xu Xing appeared, he wouldn't have to worry about the safety of his descendants.
"Xue'er, have the people in the general's mansion been moved away?" Leng Qingtian asked. The servants in the general's mansion had followed him for many years. He would feel heartbroken if they were injured because of his negligence.
"Okay. I'll send someone to notify the Feng family and the Southern Dusk Empire, as well as Grandpa Lin." Leng Ruoxue frowned slightly as she thought about it. Send them all away in one shot! It would save them time from being distracted.
"No need. I'll go notify Old Lin." Leng Qingtian stood up from his chair. This matter shouldn't be delayed.
"Then I'll go to the Feng family and the Southern Dusk Empire," Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.
After discussing it, Leng Ruoxue and Leng Qingtian split up.
…
In a secret room in the Feng family's main residence…
"First Elder, you were looking for me?" Feng Miao, dressed in white, walked into the secret room and looked at the first elder in puzzlement. What happened?
"Take this. Leave the Feng family with those one hundred children in a few days." The first elder's expression was a little grim as he directly handed Feng Miao a storage ring.
"Why? What do you mean, First Elder?" Feng Miao's handsome face showed a confused expression. Were they expelled from the Feng family?
"We haven't found Xu Xing yet. Go out and hide first," the first elder explained. These children were the Feng family's future hope, and nothing could happen to them.
"First Elder, isn't Xu Xing the only one left in the Xu family? There are so many of us…" Before Feng Miao could finish, the first elder interrupted him.
"You can't be too careful. I can't risk the future of the Feng family. Moreover, the Xu family is so ambitious, so who knows if Xu Xing has other hidden forces?" the first elder said worriedly.
"Then what should we do?" Feng Miao asked worriedly. If the first elder's concern became a reality, then wouldn't the remaining Feng family members…
"The Feng family's future is the most important," the first elder said somewhat ruthlessly.
"I know what to do." Fang Miao's handsome face had a hint of sadness. He didn't even know if he would have the chance to return here in the future.
"Protect them well," the first elder reminded worriedly.
Feng Miao nodded, his eyes slightly moist.
…
A week later, Leng Ruoxue and Freak moved the selected people to a safe place and returned to the deserted general's mansion.
In Leng Qingtian's study…
"Xue'er, will Feng Da and the others suddenly return?" Leng Qingtian asked worriedly. Xue'er had sent these people away to do mercenary missions and train.
"No. How could they come back so easily with Big Brother Feng and Feng Da around?" Leng Ruoxue had given them a task before they left. No one was allowed to return unless she allowed them to or everyone advanced to Spiritual Sovereign.
"What about Guo Yong and Guo Qiang?" Leng Qingtian felt a headache when he mentioned the two brothers. He had said all sorts of harsh words, but they refused to leave.
"Ignore them. They should have means to protect themselves." Leng Ruoxue didn't know what to do with them. They probably regarded their general's mansion as an inn.
"Xue'er, you know them best. They told me not to bother with them as well." Leng Qingtian sighed helplessly.
"Grandpa, it's getting late. Rest early!" Leng Ruoxue left Leng Qingtian's study with Freak and went back to their rooms to sleep.
…
In the distant Northern Frost Empire, there were mountains surrounded by tall, lush trees in a remote and perilous mountain range.
Xu Xing was hiding in a dark, damp cave under one of the mountain peaks.
As he hid in the cave, his clothes were tattered, his hair was disheveled, and he looked pathetic. But his ferociousness had not diminished at all. Instead, it became more and more intense, and the killing intent and hatred in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
At this moment, Xu Xing was sitting by a bonfire, holding a piece of spirit beast meat still dripping with blood. He was gnawing at it fiercely… At this point, he was definitely treating this piece of beast meat as Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen.
"Leng Ruoxue, Ye Chen, and the Ye family, I will never let you go. I want you to die with the Xu family!" Xu Xing murmured viciously to himself. The hatred in his eyes was so intense that it would make people tremble with fear!
During this half a month, he had been recuperating while hiding like a street rat, and he had never dared to stay in one place for too long. Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen were the reason for his miserable situation today. Oh right, there's also that unknown old man. Hmph! I will definitely not let them off.
Thinking of this, Xu Xing carefully took out a black pearl from his storage ring. The pearl was about the size of a thumb, dull, and very inconspicuous. But if anyone dared to underestimate the ability of this pearl, they would definitely regret it…
