“No wonder big brother ning didn’t have any suspicions.” Leng ruoxue understood. It seemed that she had underestimated the status of the ning family in the divinity, as well as their confidence. However, thinking about it, Ning Hai’s words made sense. After all, she had requested to go to the main residence of the ning family. If her lie was exposed after she arrived at the main residence, the ning family would definitely not tolerate her.
“Hahaha! It can’t be fake! Even if it’s fake, it can’t be real. Based on my understanding of ruoxue, you don’t seem like someone who would lie to me. ” Ning Hai said with a smile.
“However, there’s one thing that you’ve really lied to me about. Moreover, you’ve lied to me with Hui ao.” Ning Hai suddenly said seriously.
“It seems that our little trick didn’t escape big brother ning! However, it’s true that Hui ao was poisoned, and the drug was indeed put in by Philip. It’s just that we had noticed it in advance, so we just beat him at his own game. ” Leng ruoxue explained calmly.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll blame you after I find out the truth?” Ning Hai deliberately said with a straight face.
“Although brother ning is kind, he can still distinguish between the inside and outside. What’s more, everything that Philip did was the truth. We did not wrong her. We just followed the script that she had arranged in advance. If brother ning blames us for this, we can only admit our mistakes!” Leng ruoxue said with a smile.
“You guys! Don’t do this again in the future. I was so worried!” Ning Hai complained.
“Brother ning doesn’t blame us?” Leng ruoxue raised her brows and asked indifferently.
“What’s there to blame? they were the ones who wanted to harm others, but in the end, they ended up harming themselves. Moreover, if it weren’t for you, I might not have been able to make up my mind to remove the sisters from the team. Speaking of which, I should thank you!” Ning Hai said softly. In fact, he knew very well that a considerable number of people in the team were dissatisfied with Philip. It was just that the Philip sisters had not made any big mistakes, so he had no reason to kick them out of the team. This incident had given him a reasonable excuse. Therefore, if he were to think about it carefully, he had to thank Leng ruoxue and the others for their cooperation!
“When did big brother ning find out?” Leng ruoxue was very curious. She didn’t expect Ning Hai to be such a meticulous person. Everything that they had planned was still discovered by him.
“When Hui ao showed us the food hidden in the tree hole, I already felt that something was wrong. Based on my understanding of Hui ao, it was impossible for that gluttonous fellow to not be tempted by the food in front of him, let alone hide it.” Ning Hai said with a smile.
“I see.” Leng ruoxue finally understood.
“Ruoxue! Let’s go out! Let’s get ready to set off. ” Ning Hai said proudly.
“En!” Leng ruoxue nodded. Then, the two of them left the tent and sat on Hui ao’s back. With Hui ao carrying the group, they flew towards the nearest city.
Because he was going to bring Leng ruoxue to the ning family, Ning Hai had to change his schedule at the last minute.
After flying in the air for nearly two days, they arrived at plentiful city in the evening.
Plentiful city could only be considered as a small to medium-sized city in the divine realm. The population in the city was not very large. However, plentiful city was exceptionally prosperous, and this had a lot to do with the geographical location of plentiful city.
Plentiful city ran from north to south, connecting east to west. It was a traffic Hub City. Although it was not located in the center of the divine realm, many people who wanted to go to other cities would have to pa.s.s through plentiful city. Especially for those who wanted to go to the North of the divine realm, plentiful city was the only place they had to pa.s.s.
If he wanted to go to the ning family, he had to pa.s.s by plentiful city.
As they walked on the streets of plentiful city, Leng ruoxue listened to the grapes as she explained the history of plentiful city to her. Originally, plentiful city was under the jurisdiction of the G.o.d Lord’s Manor. The current city Lord of plentiful city was stationed here by the G.o.d Lord’s Manor. A city that could catch the attention of the G.o.d Lord’s Manor must have its own special characteristics. Hence, plentiful city’s status in the divine realm was obvious.
“Ruoxue! Although plentiful city isn’t big, it has a very special status in the divine realm. Even our ning family wouldn’t easily offend the city Lord here unless we have no other choice. ” Ning Hai reminded him in a low voice.
“Don’t worry, big brother ning. If others don’t provoke me, I won’t go and find trouble with them. ” Leng ruoxue understood Ning Hai’s unspoken meaning and promised with a faint smile.
“Ruoxue! I didn’t mean it that way, I’m just afraid that your beauty will attract other people’s coveting. In a while, we’ll immediately find an inn to stay in. If there’s nothing important before we leave, try not to leave the room. ” Ning Hai reminded. In the divine world, women like Leng ruoxue, who were weak but had outstanding beauty, were the favorite targets of those who liked beauty. Moreover, this was plentiful city, so he was very afraid that he would not be able to protect Leng ruoxue. Thus, he could only prepare for the rainy day.
“I’ll listen to big brother ning. ” Leng ruoxue smiled as she nodded. As she walked on the streets, she could feel many gazes on her. Some of them were staring at her with fiery eyes. If it wasn’t for the fact that she didn’t want to cause trouble, she would definitely teach them a lesson.
“Yes.” Ning Hai nodded and looked around the street. After finding an Inn with an empty room, everyone immediately checked in.
In the room, grape looked at the depressed Leng ruoxue sitting on the bed and could not help but explain,””Miss, although n.o.ble ning’s words are a little exaggerated, he is also speaking the truth. We are out and our strength is low, so it’s better to be careful.”
“I know!” Leng ruoxue nodded. She was just missing the demon a little. She wondered how that fellow was doing now.
“Miss! The kitchen just sent some food over, so I’ll just have a bite! We’ll be leaving tomorrow morning. ” Lotus seed said.
“Yes.” Leng ruoxue nodded and had a simple meal before going to bed early.
However, not long after she fell asleep, Leng ruoxue heard a faint sound coming from the corridor outside. She opened her eyes unwillingly and looked at grape who was guarding by the bedside,””What’s going on outside? What’s with the noise?”
“I’m fine! Miss, go to sleep! We’ll be leaving tomorrow morning. ” Grape said hurriedly. However, his eyes were avoiding Leng ruoxue ‘s.
“Oh!” “Yes,” Leng ruoxue replied softly, then closed her eyes again. She knew that grape was hiding something from her. However, since that girl was not willing to tell her, she could not force her.
Feeling Leng ruoxue’s even breathing, grape knew that miss had fallen asleep again. After tucking her in, she turned around and left the inner room.
“Have the people outside left?” Grape couldn’t help but ask lotus seed, who was guarding the outer hall.
“They’ve been sent away by n.o.ble son ning. However, they didn’t manage to invite you, so they won’t let this matter rest.” Lotus seed said worriedly. The people who were making a ruckus in the corridor just now were sent by the city Lord to invite the young lady to the banquet, but they had blocked her.
“When we entered the city, it was already evening. There weren’t many people in the city, so how did the city Lord’s mansion know about young miss?” Grape’s face was puzzled. Although many people on the street had seen the beauty of the young lady, she did not think that those people would go to the city Lord of plentiful city and tell him that there was a beautiful woman in the city. Otherwise, if this beauty was occupied by the city Lord’s mansion, they would not have the opportunity to appreciate the beauty in the future!
“Stop guessing. We’ll be leaving tomorrow morning anyway.” Lotus seed said with a headache. Although they had booked a room for two days, they would leave the next morning. The city Lord’s mansion should not find out about their thoughts.
“Mm! Don’t let the young lady know about this matter, or she will be troubled. ” Grape reminded.
“I understand.” Lotus seed nodded.
At this moment, Leng ruoxue, who was in the inner room, had heard their entire conversation through green vessel.
“Qing Jue, can you check the situation in the city Lord’s mansion?” Leng ruoxue asked via voice transmission.
“Sister! I’m not strong enough right now. If I was on the G.o.dly mainland, I might be able to do it, but this is the G.o.dly realm. ” Qing Jue said gloomily. In the divine world, he had almost no place to use his martial arts. After all, the experts in the divine world were as numerous as the hair on a cow. If he were to casually investigate, he would definitely be discovered by them. In that case, it would bring trouble to his sister. Therefore, he did not dare to act rashly in the divine world. This kind of restricted behavior made him quite angry, but he could do nothing about it.
“Qing Jue! It’s all big sister’s fault for being too weak. ” Leng ruoxue said guiltily. The green vessel was an extremely powerful divine weapon, but in her hands, it had not been able to display its true power. This made her feel extremely guilty. Furthermore, during this trip to the divine world, she had clearly felt the gap between her and the people of the divine world. Hence, she had made up her mind to cultivate properly when she returned to the divine mainland, so that she could strive to be able to truly experience the divine world sooner.
“Sister! You’re very talented, it’s just that you haven’t been cultivating for long. However, I’m already very satisfied to be able to achieve such results in just a few years. ” Qing Jue consoled.
“Qing Jue! I’ll definitely work hard on my cultivation. At that time, we’ll take revenge for master together. ” Leng ruoxue promised.
“En!” Qing Jue nodded.
After conversing with Qing Jue, Leng ruoxue lay back on the bed calmly, allowing the spiritual Qi from the outside world to enter her body …
The next morning.
Ning Hai had knocked on Leng ruoxue’s door early in the morning.
“Ruoxue! We’re not having breakfast, we’re leaving this place immediately. ” Ning Hai said anxiously.
“Alright!” Leng ruoxue nodded.
After gathering the crowd, Leng ruoxue and the rest checked out of the inn and left. However, they had only taken a few steps when they were blocked by a group of people.
Looking at the fully armed group, Leng ruoxue was well aware that they should be the city Lord’s residence’s royal guards. The plentiful city was indeed worthy of being under the jurisdiction of the G.o.d Lord’s residence. The guards ‘armor had actually reached the level of divine weapons. Although they were only considered primary divine weapons, such a team composition could be considered top-notch even among the eight great divine domains. She just did not know why they were stopping her and her group.
“May I ask why you are blocking our way? I’m the ning family’s Ning Hai, they’re all my team members. ” Ning Hai introduced himself. He had no choice but to use his ident.i.ty as a member of the ning family.
“One of our young master’s concubines is missing. Someone found a clue and said that it was you who took her away.” The leader of the guards said in a clear voice.
