Chapter 518 - The Dust Settles (1)

“Grandpa, I think you can just enter seclusion peacefully. Leave this to the head butler and the others,” Leng Ruoxue suggested.

“Yes, we are too weak now. It will be difficult for us to do anything. The most important thing now is indeed to improve our strength as soon as possible,” Leng Qingtian agreed.

“Lass, then let’s continue our seclusion!” Old Man Zao said tactfully. Boohoo… He was still a Mystic. He didn’t know when he would be able to break through to become a Great Mystic. Alas! He didn’t dare to think about the Mystic Monarch now. It was too far away from him!

“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded and watched the reluctant old men enter their rooms before turning her gaze to Zero.

“No. Do you think the Yue family will seek help from the Leng family?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.

“I wouldn’t ask for help if I were him. Hehe, this is really embarrassing for him. After all, he is also a Mystic Supremacy,” Empty said with a smile. Based on his understanding of the Yue family’s patriarch, that old man should be a cautious and prideful person, so he would never ask for help.

“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded in agreement. She wanted to go with him on this point. However, she had to be careful. It would be a little troublesome if the old man turned his face away and didn’t ask for help from the Leng family! Therefore, she had to be careful!

“Xue’er, don’t worry. That old man will definitely not be able to put down his dignity,” Empty said with certainty.

“Yes, Empty. It’s getting late. Let’s go and rest.” Leng Ruoxue looked at the time and said. Then she entered the purple bamboo hut with the freak…

In the next few days, Myriad Mountain City fell into silence. The commercial flow of Myriad Mountain City was as normal as usual, there was a strong tremor among the upper echelons of the five major factions. Everyone was in danger because only they knew how tragic the battle late at night was. Countless Mystic Monarchs and Mystic Sovereigns were either dead or injured! Nearly two-thirds of the strength of the five major factions had been lost! Now, the five parties had entered a dormant period to recuperate and wait for an opportunity to take action!

At the main residence of the Yue family.

In the Patriarch’s room…

The patriarch of the Yue family lay on the bed with injuries all over his body. His face was very pale at this moment, and his originally handsome face had a worried frown. Moreover, he didn’t say a word, so no one knew what he was thinking!

“Father.” Yue Qun’s voice sounded in the room, and he strode in.

“Qun’er, how’s the investigation going?” The patriarch of the Yue family looked up and asked coldly when he heard his son’s voice. Alas! The loss this time was really too serious. Not only did he obtain nothing, but he also completely fell out with the other four families. Moreover, he didn’t dare to trust anyone easily except for his son now. At least, everyone was very suspicious before he found out who betrayed him!

“Father, I didn’t find out. I’m sorry. I was too useless,” Yue Qun said self-reproachfully.

“Qun’er, how can I blame you? That traitor is too cunning,” the Yue family head said through gritted teeth. Hmph! If he found that person, he would definitely tear that person who dared to betray him into pieces!

“Father, I will continue to send people to monitor everyone. Don’t worry!” Yue Qun promised.

“Yes, Qun’er. Father might be injured badly, but the other four old things are not any better than me. Hmph! Tell everyone to be alert lest they launch a sneak attack,” the Yue family’s patriarch ordered.

“Yes, I will,” Yue Qun said.

“Qun’er, did you invite the alchemist I asked you to invite?” the Yue family’s patriarch asked. His injuries were too serious. It was very difficult for him to recover unless an Alchemy Supremacy specially concocted a heaven-grade pill to treat his injuries!

“Father, I’ve already sent people to look for him. However, they have also reported that the alchemist isn’t at home now,” Yue Qun said gloomily. He had also heard that there was a mysterious and powerful alchemist in Myriad Mountain City. He immediately sent people to invite him after Father was injured, but he didn’t find him.

“Get someone to guard his house. Invite him back immediately if you find his whereabouts. In addition, send someone to the Alchemist Association to invite an Alchemist Supremacy over!” the Yue Family Patriarch ordered. He couldn’t hang himself on a tree! If he couldn’t find this alchemist, then he had to go to the Alchemist Association, even though it would take a lot of time to go there and back.

“Father, I’ve already sent people there,” Yue Qun said.

“Yes, Qun’er, you’re really becoming more thoughtful now,” the Yue family’s patriarch said very happily.

“Father, you are the pillar of our Yue family. How can I let anything happen to you!” Yue Qun said fearfully. Alas! He knew very well that if something happened to his father, their Yue family would be completely finished. He could not support the Yue family with his current strength.

“Qun’er, don’t worry. Father will be fine. Alas! Father is tired. Go out first!” the Yue family’s patriarch ordered and then closed his eyes.

“Father, rest well.” Yue Qun left quietly after speaking.

For the past few days, the entire Yue family, old and young, were on high alert. However, the Heartless Garden was a relaxed and happy scene.

In the garden.

Leng Ruoxue, the freak, and Empty were sitting on a stone bench, drinking tea and eating snacks, especially Empty. He felt so good without that annoying man pestering him…

“Miss, your fiancé is so busy now that he doesn’t have time to visit you. Why aren’t you worried at all?” Leng Ruoxue looked at the slightly smug Empty and teased softly.

“Damn girl, why did you mention him?” Empty gritted his teeth and looked at Leng Ruoxue with displeasure on his beautiful face.

“Xue’er is right. I also think you’re too heartless,” the freak added oil to the fire.

“Do the two of you want to anger me to death? It wasn’t easy for us to have some peace and quiet for a few days. He didn’t come to bother me, but you mentioned him instead,” Empty roared furiously. He could finally tell that these two people were doing it on purpose. They wanted to anger him to death! Hmph! Two baddies!

“Haha, freak, I’m right, right? Empty turned hostile.” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile. Hehe, she just made a bet with the freak, saying that Empty would definitely turn hostile if he heard anything related to Yue Qun. The freak didn’t believe it. He lost to her now!
