“That… we will do our best to help Young Lady Leng find the lost item. It is getting late. We will take our leave first.” 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.

“Why did he run away? I haven’t finished speaking!” Lü Tao looked at Yu Tian’s back and complained.

“I’ve already become a family heirloom. How could he still dare to stay here?!” Little Flame said with understanding. Uh, family heirlooms were very valuable.

“You’re just a small snake.” Leng Ruoxue placed Little Flame in her palm and gently tapped its little head.

“I’m not a snake. I’m a family heirloom,”Little Flame said very stubbornly. A family heirloom was much more important than a small snake, so it wanted to be a family heirloom.

“Little Flame, you are not lost, so you can’t be a family heirloom,” reminded Lü Tao with some amusement.

“Then I’m also a family heirloom. Humph! I’ll bite whoever dares to say that I’m not!” Little Flame glared with its crystal-like eyes and threatened.

“Eh!” Everyone was speechless. Little Flame actually threatened them. Boohoo… This was really too much.

“You’re a family heirloom, definitely!” 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!

“En, you’re still the smart one!” Little Flame nodded with satisfaction. Then, its fiery red crystal eyes lightly swept over everyone.

“You are afamily heirloom!” Everyone said in unison, extremely spineless.

Hearing everyone’s words, Little Flame was satisfied. Then, it formed a circle in Leng Ruoxue’s palm and happily slept.

“Girl, you won’t blame me for taking the liberty to use other herbs to exchange for that snow ginseng, right?” After a while, the little old man asked. Even though he knew that the girl wouldn’t hide it from him and blame him, he still felt a little uncertain since he hadn’t heard her say it herself.

“Hehe, no way! We don’t have any snow ginseng,” Leng Ruoxue chuckled. Sigh! Grandpa Du was thinking too much. She knew what happened back then, how could she blame him!

“Hehe! Lass! This time, the Lan family will be implicated by that woman,” the little old man said with a wicked smile. Doing such a thing in the Shadow League’s territory was really courting death! Now, even the Lan family might not be able to protect her.

“If she didn’t use ‘Forgetten Soul’, I wouldn’t have dragged the Shadow League into this.” Leng Ruoxue saw that there were no outsiders and that she wasn’t 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 ‘Forgotten soul’ 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 ‘Forgetten Soul’ was definitely unexpected for the Shadow League to have a thousand-year-old snow ginseng. Otherwise, she would probably still be ‘unconscious’ for some time!

“Lass, even though I don’t know what relationship that woman has with the Lan Clan, she shouldn’t be a member of the Lan Clan. Do you think the Shadow League will vent their anger on the Lan Clan?” The little old man asked worriedly. Uh! He had some ties with that old geezer from the Lan Clan, so he naturally didn’t want to see any harm come to the Lan Clan.

“Even though the Shadow League is mysterious and unfathomable, they shouldn’t fall out with the Lan Clan over such a small matter. However, after such a thing happened in the Shadow City, the Shadow League’s face must be recovered. So, it’s inevitable for the Lan Clan to lose some money.” Leng Ruoxue analyzed after thinking for a while. Her relationship with Lan Ming wasn’t bad, so she naturally didn’t 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.

“Yes, but it won’t be easy to get money from the Lan family.” The little old man nodded in agreement.

“Hehe, Grandpa Du, we don’t have to worry about this. It’s getting late, everyone should rest early!” Leng Ruoxue smiled and said. Sigh! Because of a woman who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, they actually went through so much trouble. This was really too much. Aunt couldn’t tolerate it. However, she blamed this on Lan Lie.

“Miss, we want to sleep in the space.” Feng Dao and the others exchanged glances and then said in unison.

“Haha, alright!” Leng Ruoxue chuckled. With a thought, she brought everyone into the space.

Two days later.

Leng Ruoxue and the others finally left the bracelet.

For the past two days, they had been staying in the space. During this time, only Feng Miao followed Leng Ruoxue’s instructions and went to deliver the medicinal herbs to the housekeeper. The others didn’t 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, “Would everyone like to eat something?”

“Sure! Shopkeeper, did anything fun happen in the Shadow City in the past two days?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously while looking at the shopkeeper with a smile.

“Uh!” Cold sweat broke out on the shopkeeper’s forehead as he hesitated whether he should say it or not.

“Shopkeeper, has the whereabouts of the thief who stole our lady’s things been found?” Lü Tao asked with anticipation.

“Uh! I’m not too sure about this. It’s Butler Yu who’s in charge.” The shopkeeper pushed the blame onto Yu Tian.

“Oh! After we’re done eating, let’s go look for Butler Yu! It’s been two days, there should be some progress!” Leng Ruoxue said lightly. Actually, she knew clearly that Butler Yu was in a dilemma! After all, this matter involved the Lan family.

“I’ll go prepare food for everyone.” 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 Yu’s residence, Leng Ruoxue gave Feng Da a look. Feng Da walked up and knocked on the door a few times…

Creak! The door opened and a guard walked out. When he saw Leng Ruoxue and the others, he politely asked, “Who are you looking for?”
