Chapter 1603 - I'm not close to you (3)

Seeing the second elder’s diligent appearance, grape was a little uncomfortable? Was this the second elder? It couldn’t have been switched by someone, right?

The second elder worked very hard in the morning. When it was close to noon, he went to line up again to get vegetables. This time, when everyone present saw him, they all took the initiative to give up their positions to him. Unfortunately, he did not appreciate it at all and even scolded those people who flattered him. After that, those people all went to their respective Masters to cry and complain, and the impression of the second elder’s bad temper was rooted in their hearts.

At the same time, the ning family sent Ning Wen, ning Duan, and Ning Xi ‘er away. However, only Ning Xi’ er had been fed with the soul forgetfulness. When Leng ruoxue saw Ning Xi ‘er, Ning Xi’ er was still smiling at her foolishly. After that, she followed ning haolan’s men without making any noise.

The culprit, Ning Xi ‘er, was definitely not coming back. As for ning Duan and Ning Wen, it would all be up to ning haolan. Although one of them had helped Ning Xi’ er steal the medicine, and the other had helped Ning Xi ‘er drug her, they were just two small fries in her eyes. They were not worth her effort at all. Besides, ning haolan was still around. How could he let off people who had betrayed him so easily? No matter how many difficulties that person had, it was not a reason for betrayal.

After Ning Xi ‘er’s matter was settled, Leng ruoxue returned to her own residence. When ning haolan and Cheng Xuan went to look for her, they happened to see her lying listlessly on a recliner, sunbathing.

In the garden.

Ning haolan and Cheng Xuan sat opposite Leng ruoxue.

“Great aunt! You really know how to enjoy yourself. ” Cheng Xuan said with an envious look.

Leng ruoxue rolled her eyes at Cheng Xuan, but she did not say anything.

“Great aunt, what’s wrong with you? why are you so listless? Who made you angry? tell me and I’ll help you deal with him!” Cheng Xuan said, taking on all the responsibility.

“I was thinking about the challenge Ning Xi ‘er gave me!” Leng ruoxue sighed.

“Uh! Didn’t she leave the ning family for the Yao family’s domain?” Cheng Xuan asked in a daze.

“Yup! Our challenge has a stake, AI! What a pity. ” Leng ruoxue’s face was filled with regret.

“Great aunt! You’re not as strong as her, so even if you put a bet, you might not be able to win. So, you should be glad that you kept your bet. ” Cheng Xuan said as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He never thought that Leng ruoxue would be depressed because of those prizes. One should know that she might not be able to obtain those things!

“Little Xuan, how can you boost other people’s morale and destroy my prestige?” Leng ruoxue was a little unhappy and did not show Cheng Xuan a good face.

“Great aunt! I’m doing this for your own good! You have to understand my heart. ” Cheng Xuan’s handsome face was full of grievances.

Leng ruoxue rolled her eyes at him again and did not comment on Cheng Xuan’s words.

At this moment, grape came to report.

“Miss! Young masters, the master of the ning family has invited you. ” Grape smiled and said very politely.

Leng ruoxue and the other two looked at each other, then headed to master ning’s residence together.

As soon as they entered master ning’s courtyard, they heard a burst of hearty laughter. Leng ruoxue had never heard this before. However, when Cheng Xuan heard this voice, he turned around and wanted to leave.

“Damn brat! Where do you think you’re going?” Suddenly, a deafening roar reverberated in the ears of the three of them. Immediately after, a tall middle-aged man descended from the sky and blocked Cheng Xuan’s path.

The man was in his early forties. He had handsome facial features and sharp eyes. He had a reserved temperament and was extraordinary in strength. According to Leng ruoxue’s observation, this half-grown old man’s strength was above the great elder’s and was also a reverent-god level expert. Moreover, he seemed to have a close relationship with Cheng Xuan.

“Ancestor!” Cheng Xuan called out unwillingly, but his eyes drifted over to ning haolan, his gaze asking,’how did the old ancestor know I was here?’ Ning haolan returned his gaze with an innocent look, with the words ‘I don’t know either’ written in the depths of his eyes.

“You little brat! You still remember me, your ancestor!” The middle-aged man, who was also the head of the Cheng clan, said unhappily. In his heart, he was cursing Cheng Xuan with dog blood. That damned brat, he actually ran away from home like others! Hmph! Did you really think I couldn’t find you?

“I can forget anyone, but I don’t dare to forget our ancestor!” Cheng Xuan smiled and tried to please him.

“Oh, really? However, I heard that you were having so much fun that you didn’t even want to go home! What’s more, you even created a scandal for me. You’ve completely disgraced our Cheng family!” The head of the Cheng family shouted at the top of his lungs.

Leng ruoxue looked at his energetic appearance and could not help but sigh. As expected of a reverent-God! His aura was strong, but what was the scandal he was talking about? Her curiosity was piqued.

“What scandal?” Cheng Xuan’s face was also full of question marks. He blinked his bright black eyes and asked shamelessly.

“Of course it’s yours and haolan ‘s.” The head of the Cheng clan gritted his teeth and roared in exasperation.

“Argh! It can’t be!” Cheng Xuan’s expression changed drastically while ning haolan’s face darkened. Leng ruoxue’s eyes were sparkling with anticipation. There’s gossip!

“Old ancestor Cheng, did you misunderstand? how could there be a scandal between me and Cheng Xuan?” Ning haolan was utterly confused.

“Ancestor, this, this is impossible!” Cheng Xuan was dumbfounded.

“Do you think I would lie to you two juniors?” The master of the Cheng family scowled. It was very depressing to be doubted by others!

Ning haolan and Cheng Xuan looked at each other, speechless. Of course, they did not doubt that the divine reverent would lie to them about such a thing, but this was too suspicious!

“Little girl, tell me! Do you think I would lie to them?” Seeing that his two grandsons did not believe him, the master of the Cheng clan shifted the topic to Leng ruoxue. This girl must be old man ning’s goddaughter! “She’s indeed an absolute beauty. Her face and temperament are all top-notch. It’s just that her cultivation is a little low. However, cultivation can be cultivated, so this isn’t a big problem,” the head of the Cheng clan thought to himself after sizing up Leng ruoxue from head to toe.

“This …” Leng ruoxue hesitated. How was she supposed to say this? She wasn’t familiar with this half-grown old man.

“Little girl, I heard from old man ning that you’re a straightforward person, why are you hemming and hawing?” The head of the Cheng clan said with some dissatisfaction.

“I don’t know you well! That’s why I can’t answer your question. ” Leng ruoxue thought for a while and said helplessly.

“Uh!” The head of the Cheng clan looked at Leng ruoxue, dumbfounded. He thought to himself, isn’t this girl a little too honest? If it was someone else, they would have stuck to him if they had the opportunity to echo him. Why would they be like her? For a time, a strong sense of defeat emerged in his heart.

“Hahaha!”

“Hahaha!”

Following that, two laughter rang out, and two more figures appeared in front of them.

“Old man Cheng, I’ve told you that your identity is useless to Xue ‘er!” The master of the ning family laughed arrogantly and proudly.

“Hmph! You’re beautiful, my ass!” The head of the Cheng family was burning with anger as he roared in a bad mood, his face completely red.

“I have the capital to be beautiful. You can’t be jealous.” The master of the ning family said with a smile, his expression becoming more and more smug, making the master of the Cheng family so angry that he blew at his beard and glared, stomping his feet.

“Godfather! Great elder!” At this moment, Leng ruoxue called out sweetly.

“Be good! Xue ‘er! This old man is the ancestor of the Cheng family, quickly ask for a meeting gift from him, he has a lot of good things!” The master of the ning family started to Rob them rudely, and he kept giving Leng ruoxue meaningful looks.

“Greetings, patriarch Cheng!” Leng ruoxue understood and greeted him with a smile.

“Damn old man! Just you wait. ” Master Cheng glared at master ning, then painfully handed Leng ruoxue a dark red storage ring and said,””Little girl, I’ll give you all the things inside.”

Ugh! Leng ruoxue did not expect the Cheng clan’s head to be so generous. She took the ring and used her divine sense to take a look. It was only then that she realized that it was filled with medicinal herbs, and many of them were extremely precious. She immediately understood that the Cheng clan’s head had clearly made preparations! He even pretended to be very unwilling. What a hypocrite.

Leng ruoxue defined master Cheng as a hypocrite. However, she had really wronged old man Cheng. Although this meeting gift had been prepared by old man Cheng a long time ago and was rather sincere, it was two different things for her to give it to him first and old man ning. That was why he did not give master ning a good look. In addition, he acted like he was in pain to leave a deep impression on Leng ruoxue. Who asked him to know that Leng ruoxue was an Alchemist? She was also the goddaughter of old man ning, so the head elder of the craftsmen’s Guild headquarters also valued her. In this way, Leng ruoxue’s value would increase by many times, and he had no choice but to value her.

“Thank you, Cheng clan head.” Leng ruoxue replied courteously. Her beautiful face didn’t have an overjoyed expression.

Upon seeing this, the Cheng clan’s patriarch silently praised her in his heart. He didn’t expect this little girl to be so calm. This was truly rare. If it was anyone else who received such a gift, they definitely wouldn’t be as calm as her. It was as if they had received an ordinary item. Furthermore, from Leng ruoxue’s expression, it didn’t seem like she was pretending to be calm.

In fact, the value of his meeting gift was not low. Many of the precious herbs in it were hard to buy even with a thousand gold, and he gave this generous gift not only because of the relationship between the master of the ning family and the head elder of the craftsmen’s Guild, but also to test the waters …
