Chapter 2631 Layout (1)
"It"s not that I don"t want to, but it"s too troublesome to set up a defensive formation for each family. As a result, it will take at least a year and a half to complete it, so I"m more inclined to help them get rid of Sun Tao, the root of their disaster! That"ll save us a lot of trouble. " Leng ruoxue smiled as she glanced at Leng Xiaoqing and Leng Xiaoxiao before she spoke.
When the two heard this, they felt that it really made sense. However, not all the forces had signed the contract. They couldn"t force all the forces to sign the contract, right? Instantly, the two of them were at a loss.
Looking at the two"s gloomy expressions, Leng ruoxue smiled and asked,""What kind of forces are those who haven"t signed a contract?"
"Most of them are from small and medium-sized forces. They are not rich to begin with and are short-sighted, so they are simply reluctant to pay this reward." Leng Xiaoqing explained helplessly.
If it were the major factions, they would be more willing to pay. This was because the top factions basically had no doubts about Leng ruoxue"s strength. However, the small and mid-sized factions were not well-informed, so they did not know much about Xue "er"s strength. Naturally, they were not willing to pay this reward so easily.
"In my opinion, it"s not that those small and medium-sized forces are short-sighted and can"t bear to fork out this sum of money. They"re just too scheming." After hearing Leng Xiaoqing"s words, Leng ruoxue could not help but sneer.
"You"re saying that they think they can take advantage of us? That"s why you haven"t agreed?" Leng Xiaoqing understood what was going on the moment he heard that. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be possible. But hadn"t Xue "er already made it clear? If not all the forces had hired her, she would not have done anything to Sun Tao and the others. Why were there still forces holding onto the hope of getting lucky?
AI! In this world, there were always some people who would not shed tears until they saw the coffin! Leng Xiaoqing was having a headache over those people"s petty thoughts. He didn"t know what to do!
Leng ruoxue nodded and smiled,"Are those forces still in the city?"
"Yes, they are still staying in the Leng clan"s guest house." Leng Xiaoqing replied honestly.
"From now on, ask them to leave the Leng family." Leng ruoxue said after some thought.
"This isn"t very good, is it? They"re all guests invited by the Leng family, and it"s impolite to invite them out. It might affect the reputation of our Leng family if word gets out. " Leng Xiaoqing said hesitantly.
"Why would a super force like the Leng family care about the opinions of some small and medium-sized forces?" After Leng ruoxue heard Leng Xiaoqing"s words, she felt that it was rather laughable.
"There"s no other way. I"d rather offend a gentleman than a villain. Some of those small and medium-sized forces don"t have a good reputation. If we offend them, we might pour some dirty water on the Leng family! It"s a critical time now, and it"s not good to make too many enemies, or it will affect the Leng family"s reputation in the Haotian continent. " Leng Xiaoqing said helplessly.
"Don"t forget that the Leng family is about to leave the Haotian continent. Why would they care about their reputation?" Leng ruoxue reminded him calmly.
"Uh!" Leng Xiaoqing was a little embarra.s.sed. How could he have forgotten such an important matter?
They were about to leave the Haotian continent and would never come back. In that case, why should he care about what those small and medium-sized forces thought? With that thought in mind, Leng Xiaoqing quickly said to Leng ruoxue,""I"ll ask them to leave the Leng family now. "
Those people were obviously treating the Leng family as a safe haven now. The Leng family really had no obligation to provide for them for free. Leng Xiaoqing then turned around and left to handle the matter.
Leng Xiaoxiao had wanted to tag along, but he was asked to stay by Leng ruoxue alone.
Looking at Leng ruoxue, Leng Xiaoxiao was very uncertain as to why this little girl had asked him to stay behind. He immediately felt uneasy.
Leng ruoxue could not help but chuckle when she saw that Leng Xiaoxiao was a little ill at ease.""Are you very afraid of me?"
"Uh! I"m not afraid!" Leng Xiaoxiao braced himself and said,"no matter what, I"m still this little girl"s ancestor in terms of bloodline. How embarra.s.sing would it be if I were to admit that I"m afraid of her!" I can"t admit it! I can"t admit it!
However, no matter how much he consoled himself in his heart, his expression still revealed his nervousness, and cold sweat oozed out of his forehead. d.a.m.n it! Why did this little girl give off so much pressure?
Seeing that he was being stubborn, Leng ruoxue did not expose him. Instead, she waved at Leng Xiaoxiao, who immediately walked towards her like an obedient puppy.
He whispered a few words into Leng Xiaoxiao"s ear, and Leng Xiaoxiao"s face revealed a hint of surprise. She then looked at Leng ruoxue with an inexplicable expression. She thought to herself,"no matter who I offend in this world, I can"t offend this little girl!"
"Will this work?" Leng Xiaoxiao said with a hint of uncertainty after he heard that.
"This is just a strategy. Believe me, it will succeed." Leng ruoxue said confidently.
"Alright! I"ll make the arrangements!" Leng Xiaoxiao said with a nod. He knew that he could not reject this at all. Even though this girl had told him this in private, she was just giving him an order. She would not give him a chance to reject her at all. Sigh! He accepted his fate!
However, after some thought, Leng Xiaoxiao could not help but ask curiously,""Why did you ask me to handle this matter?" What he meant was, why didn"t he tell his big brother?
"You don"t look like a pedantic and rule-abiding person. You"re the most suitable person to handle this kind of thing!" Leng ruoxue gave Leng Xiaoxiao an answer.
However, Leng Xiaoxiao did not know if he should be happy or worried after hearing this. Why did this little girl"s words not sound like a compliment? However, it seemed that he could only take it as a compliment. Otherwise, he would be depressed to death.
After he found out the reason why Leng ruoxue had looked for him, Leng Xiaoxiao left the falling snow garden with a heavy heart.
As soon as he left, the mother parasol tree, who was watching from the side, immediately laughed evilly and said with a look of understanding,""Girl, you"re asking him to do bad things, right?"
"It"s not a bad thing! It"s just a small strategy. " Leng ruoxue said innocently.
"Alright! It"s definitely not a good thing. " The mother parasol tree sighed.
"Hehe! Senior, let"s just be tactful. There"s no need to say this kind of thing. " Leng ruoxue laughed evilly.
"That"s true! But Xue "er, the guest house is quite lively now, aren"t you going to take a look?" The mother parasol tree said with a mysterious look.
Looking at the mother parasol tree"s gloating expression, Leng ruoxue knew that this bored plant-level ancestor had used his divine sense to investigate the Leng family again. Every time he encountered something fun, the other party would be eager to share it with her!
"Since senior wants to see it, let"s go and take a look!" Leng ruoxue did not have to guess to know what the mother parasol tree was referring to. Seeing how eager she was to try, she did not object to it. After that, the two of them walked towards the guest courtyard.
At this moment, the guest courtyard was filled with people. There were representatives from various major forces who were here to watch the show, and there were also people involved. They were the representatives from the forces who had yet to sign the employment contract with Leng ruoxue and had been invited out of the Leng family"s guest courtyard by Leng Xiaoqing.
Those people had already surrounded the Leng clan"s members, led by Leng Xiaoqing, and were strongly demanding that the Leng clan give them an explanation. On what basis were they being asked to leave the Leng clan"s guest courtyard? They didn"t want to leave. Although the Leng family didn"t ask them to leave the city, the city was safer than the Leng family! They were also treated to good food and drink, so they were even more unwilling to leave.
