“Oh!” Leng ruoxue replied indifferently. However, she did not have much of a reaction. This was something that grape and lotus seed could not believe.
“Miss! He’s the Vice President of The Alchemist Guild headquarters!” Grape reminded. Although she had never seen Shen nuo before, Shen nuo’s name was definitely not unfamiliar to anyone in the firmament. Moreover, the Liu Yue that the young miss had mentioned was also one of the Vice guild leaders of The Alchemist Guild headquarters. She really did not expect that the person the young miss wanted to bring the message to would actually be Liu Yue.
“Hehe! So what if he was the president of The Alchemist Guild headquarters? Grapes! Calm down!” Leng ruoxue laughed.
“Miss! The three vice guild leaders of The Alchemist Guild headquarters are of high status and authority. Their status in the divine realm is transcendent. Furthermore, they are the idols of all alchemists. Not only that, even those of us who are not alchemists greatly admire them. ” Grape said with a face full of yearning.
“Oh!” Leng ruoxue’s reaction was still very calm. However, seeing her reaction, grape actually felt a little depressed. Wasn’t the young miss acting a little too calm?
“Grape! I’m hungry!” Leng ruoxue looked at the depressed grape and chuckled.
“I’ll go get some food for miss. ” Grape said resentfully. After he finished, he turned and left.
After a short while, a few dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted good were served to Leng ruoxue.
After finis.h.i.+ng her meal, Leng ruoxue received an uninvited guest. This person was none other than the person who had led the way to make things difficult for her when she had just arrived at the city Lord’s residence.
Leng ruoxue did not speak first as she looked at the woman who appeared slightly ill at ease. The woman sat on the chair uneasily for a long time before she finally spoke,””I, I know you don’t want to see me, but I have something to ask of you.” The woman’s face turned red after she finished speaking.
“If you have anything to say, just say it! I don’t like to beat around the bush. ” Leng ruoxue said directly.
“Young master, you should know about young master’s injury, right?” The woman said carefully. As she spoke, she used her eyes to secretly observe Leng ruoxue’s reaction.
“Yes.” Leng ruoxue nodded and waited for him to continue.
“You’ve only been here for a short time, so you don’t understand the city Lord and the young master’s character. The city Lord won’t let us off for the young master’s injury. ” The woman said with some fear.
“What does this have to do with us? We’re not the ones who injured Liao yang. ” Leng ruoxue pretended to be confused and asked.
“Even if it had nothing to do with us, the city Lord would still place the blame on us, especially since the Phillis sisters are dead. Furthermore, according to what I know, the city Lord had once sent people to the Phillis sisters” family to seek revenge for the young lord. Unfortunately, their family had long since declined and no one knew where they went. Thus, we naturally became the target of the city Lord’s anger and took the blame for the sisters. ” After the woman finished speaking, a trace of sadness appeared on her face.
“How do you know all this?” Leng ruoxue asked curiously. It seemed like this lady was not simple! She had never heard Zuo Yi mention these things before!
“I have a clan brother working as a guard in the city Lord’s mansion. He’s also one of the guards who’s going on a mission this time. He told me this in secret.” The woman said honestly.
“Oh! And then?” Leng ruoxue continued to play dumb. Actually, she didn’t completely believe this woman’s words, so she naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to reply.
“I want you to cooperate with me. Let’s escape this place together.” Under Leng ruoxue’s half-smiling gaze, the woman finally mustered up the courage to reveal her plan.
“You actually want to escape? Didn’t you always want to be the young Madam?” Leng ruoxue asked in surprise. This woman had been with Liao yang for so long, when did she change her personality?
“You still have to be alive to be one! They’re coming to kill us, I don’t want to stay here and let them slaughter me. ” The woman said angrily.
“That’s just one aspect! Do you also know that Liao yang is impotent and that there’s no future with him? that’s why you want to leave. ” Leng ruoxue said.
“You’re right. I know that. However, in my heart, wealth and glory are important, but my life is more important.” The woman did not deny Leng ruoxue’s words.
“That makes sense. No matter how much money you have, it’s useless even if you don’t live to enjoy it.” Leng ruoxue agreed. Even though she didn’t like this woman, she was a practical and smart woman.
“Then, are you willing to cooperate with me?” The woman asked with uncertainty, her beautiful face still full of antic.i.p.ation.
“Tell me your plans first. What are your arrangements?” Leng ruoxue avoided the question and did not answer it directly.
“I’ve already asked my clan brother to keep an eye on the situation in the city Lord’s mansion. Once there’s any news, inform me immediately. However, I’ll have to rely on you to guard the courtyard. ” The woman said.
“Rely on me? You want me to deal with those guards? You’re thinking too highly of me! I’m only a mid level deity. ” Leng ruoxue laughed at herself. However, she was mumbling in her heart. Could it be that this woman knew that those guards were from the left wing? If that was the case, then this woman’s background was very suspicious. Because in the past few days, she had almost never left the house and had never had any contact with the guards.
“Strength is not important! I know you’re very smart, otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to make us so obedient. So, I believe you have a way to deal with those guards. ” The lady said confidently. Looking at her, Leng ruoxue had no idea where her confidence came from. Could it be that she had been beaten silly by the grapes and lotus seed?
“But I really have no choice.” Leng ruoxue said helplessly.
“How is that possible? Don’t tell me you want to stay here and wait for death?” The woman’s face was filled with disbelief and disappointment. She never thought that Leng ruoxue would be so cowardly. However, she could not die with them! However, without anyone’s cooperation, she couldn’t leave the courtyard alone.
“Of course I don’t want to wait for death, but I really can’t deal with those guards. Why don’t you find someone else to try?” Leng ruoxue suggested.
“If someone else could do this well, I wouldn’t have come to you first.” The woman was extremely disappointed. Even though she was a little embarra.s.sed when she came, she believed that as long as she told Leng ruoxue her thoughts, she would definitely agree. Who knew that she would actually say that there was no other way? what should she do? She didn’t want to stay here and wait for death! But now, she had a favor to ask of him, so she had to bear with her dissatisfaction.
