If he had been able to stop Xian ‘er back then, or persuade Leng ruoxue and the others to follow Xian’ er down to the valley, would Xian ‘er not have to suffer all this? He couldn’t help but think to himself. Although Xian ‘er was a pain in the a.s.s at times, she was still his sister. Seeing her in such a miserable state made him feel terrible.
“Miss Leng! Please save Xian ‘er!” Seeing that Leng ruoxue and the rest did not have any reaction, Cheng Yi could not help but plead.
“Lord Cheng! I’m only a deity. Do you think I can save Cheng Xian ‘er from the hands of that black-clothed man?” Leng ruoxue raised her brows and questioned him unhappily.
“I believe you will have a way!” Cheng Yi had flattered Leng ruoxue. Now, other than Leng ruoxue, he really did not know who else he could ask for help from. Furthermore, subconsciously, he also felt that Leng ruoxue was the only one who could save his sister.
“I have no choice! If even Lord Cheng, a G.o.d King, can’t save your sister, then I, a G.o.d, can’t even hope to do so. ” Leng ruoxue replied emotionlessly. To be honest, she was a little angry. It was obvious that the other party was trying to lure them out, and if they went out to save her, the other party would definitely attack them without hesitation. It was impossible for Cheng Yi to not see through the current situation, but he still wanted her to save her. Was he going to throw away the lives of so many people just for Cheng Xian ‘er? I’m sorry! Cheng Xian ‘er wasn’t that important in her heart.
It didn’t matter if she was disloyal, or if she didn’t want to save her, but it was simply impossible for her to risk her life for Cheng Xian ‘er, who had plotted against her.
“Miss is right! Young master Cheng, please calm down!” Feng Da agreed. He didn’t have any thoughts of saving Cheng Xian ‘er at all. Moreover, Cheng Xian’ er only had herself to blame for falling into the hands of the other party. Why should they take the risk for Cheng Xian ‘er, who they weren’t even related to and had a bad relations.h.i.+p with? They weren’t that kind of Saints, were they?
“If you don’t want to help, then I’ll go out and save them myself!” Cheng Yi said somewhat angrily. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction of the gate.
However, he had only taken two steps when he was knocked unconscious by Lin Yuan.
As they watched Cheng Yi being dragged back to his original position, the elders of the CAO clan twitched their lips. They thought to themselves,’these people are really heavy-handed. The dignified G.o.dking has actually been knocked unconscious.’
“Third elder Cao, what do you think about this?” Leng ruoxue turned her gaze towards third elder Cao and the rest, who had a grave expression on their faces, and asked.
“Miss Leng, is there really no way to save Xianer?” Elder Cao San asked.
“What do you think? This is obviously a trap. If we go out, I’m afraid we’ll fall into their trap. So, I don’t agree to go out. ” Leng ruoxue spoke the truth. Now that they were on the same boat, they naturally had to advance and retreat together. As for Cheng Xian ‘er, she could only pray for her own good.
“But, Cheng Xian ‘er ...” Third elder Cao hesitated. He knew very well that Leng ruoxue was right. However, if he could save Cheng Xian’ er, he would still want to do so. After all, Cheng Xian ‘er was of great use to him. At the very least, she could help the CAO family form a powerful in-law. So, he felt the pain of giving up on Cheng Xian’ er just like that. However, as soon as he thought of the monsters gathered outside the house, his scalp went numb. The number of monsters was beyond his imagination, and he was not confident that he could retreat in one piece.
“Third elder Cao, I also sympathize with miss Cheng, but I can’t risk so many of our lives. Moreover, you’ve fought with those monsters before, so you naturally know how difficult they are to deal with. So, you should know what our chances of winning are against so many monsters.” Leng ruoxue spoke frankly. She believed that these elders weren’t stupid and would know what to do. Furthermore, as a member of a top-tier family clan, they would usually only place the family’s interests above all else. As for family ties, they were nothing in their eyes. When family ties and family clan’s interests clashed, they would choose to sacrifice their family ties.
Although the other elders didn’t say anything, Leng ruoxue was well aware that they weren’t willing to sacrifice their lives for a mere Cheng Xian ‘er. As cultivators, it was very normal for them to be indifferent to their blood ties. After all, with the age difference, it was almost impossible for them to value family ties like ordinary people. Moreover, Cheng Xian ‘er could only be considered half a member of the CAO clan.
Leng ruoxue’s words caused elder Cao San to go completely silent. The number of monsters had indeed caused him to forget and back off. Even at this moment, his desire to use those monsters to obtain this house had faded by quite a bit. Let me ask you, if a person’s life could not even be guaranteed, then what was the use of having so much money? If one had money but no life to spend, one would not die in peace!

Seeing that they had come to an agreement, Leng ruoxue no longer paid any attention to the Men in Black who were shouting and cursing outside the door. As usual, they stayed in the house and did what they had to do.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month had pa.s.sed. The black-robed man was still shouting and provoking outside the house, and his voice was mixed with Cheng Xian ‘er’s crying. However, Leng ruoxue and the rest still ignored them. As for Cheng Yi, ever since he had been knocked unconscious when he tried to leave the house to save Cheng Xian ‘er, he had become much more well-behaved, and had even stopped mentioning the matter of saving Cheng Xian’ er.
On a certain night.
Cheng Yi, who was not sleepy at all, got up from the bed and tiptoed to open the door. He walked to the courtyard and looked around. Then, he opened the door and ran out without hesitation ...
