Chapter 442 - Old Friends (3)
"So what?" Lan Tao roared in objection with tears in his eyes.
"Big Brother, it"s useless even if you"re jealous of me! That stinky brat doesn"t even like to return home now." Lan Hong spread his hands and shrugged helplessly.
"Are Leng Ruoxue and the others that attractive?" Lan Tao asked with some jealousy. My good grandson! Boohoo… He was hanging out with others all day now, and he was even calling a dog brother. Hmph! Since he liked dogs so much, he would get someone to find a few good ones for him in case that stinky brat couldn"t even find his house.
"Probably! That little girl is very interesting. Moreover, she isn"t afraid of our Lan family at all. I can see that Lie"er is very happy with them. Oh right, Ming"er is also with them!" the first elder said. In fact, the patriarch knew about these things long ago. Even Leng Ruoxue and the others" every move was within the patriarch"s control. However, the patriarch didn"t take any action. Moreover, he got people to hide all of this. Otherwise, Lan Fei wouldn"t have been so pa.s.sive!
"Is that so? Seems like I have to meet that little girl when I have time," Lan Tao said after some thought.
"Then you have to be mentally prepared. That little girl isn"t easy to deal with. She"s very sharp-tongued!" Lan Hong reminded.
"Then I have to take a look and see the dog that stole my grandson away," Lan Tao decided.
After Lan Hong heard what the patriarch said, the corner of his mouth twitched. That dog is your true goal, isn"t it?
At this moment, Icy, who was asleep in the inn, had no idea that he was being marked by a certain jealous old man.
…
In the inn…
Leng Ruoxue and the others were gathered in the room discussing something. Icy was sleeping on the bed, while Lan Lie was half lying on the bed, watching him sleep and touching Icy"s fur from time to time.
Lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Icy shook his little ears in displeasure and shouted, "Go away! Don"t disturb my sleep!"
"Little Icy, you"ve been sleeping for almost a day. Why are you still sleeping? Don"t sleep anymore. Get up and play with me! Let"s go play frisbee," Lan Lie said excitedly. If he remembered correctly, dogs" favorite sport was to fetch frisbees, hehe!
"F*ck frisbee!" Icy was furious when he heard the word frisbee. d.a.m.n it. I"m not a dog. Why would I fetch frisbees!
"You don"t like frisbee? Then shall we play yarn ball?" Lan Lie asked a little out of line. He felt that all cats and canine animals should like this sport! However, Little Icy was really too lazy!
"F*ck your yarn ball!" Icy was even angrier. F*ck! I"m not a cat. Why would I play with a ball of fur! Ah! I want to bite someone!
"Haha!" Leng Ruoxue, not far away, couldn"t help laughing after hearing their conversation.
Unable to stand it anymore, Icy jumped directly into Leng Ruoxue"s arms. "Little Snowy, quickly chase this fool away. I"m about to die from anger."
"Boohoo… Little Icy, I like you so much. How can you despise me!" Lan Lie complained, his eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears of grievance! Why doesn"t Little Icy allow me to hug him? I want to hug him too!
"I don"t like you! Stop pestering me!" Icy said impatiently as two drops of cold sweat dripped down his forehead. Boohoo… He was a male, so he really couldn"t accept other males being so intimate with him other than his master.
"Haha! Stop bickering. Lan Lie, it"s getting late. Shouldn"t you go home?" Leng Ruoxue said very implicitly. To put it bluntly, she was chasing him away.
"Little Snowy, you despise me too," Lan Lie said pitifully.
"Of course. Do you think she likes you?" Freak said coldly. Lan Lie"s words p.i.s.sed him off! Xue"er has never liked you, okay?
"Hurry up and scram! We want to rest," Freak added.
"Uh! It"s getting late. Let"s go back!" Leng Wudi came out to smooth things over.
"Alright! I"ll see you tomorrow, Little Icy!" Lan Lie said reluctantly and left with Leng Wudi and Sun Teng.
After Lan Lie"s group left, Leng Ruoxue looked at Leng Qingtian and the others and said, "Grandpa, let"s take turns to go to the exchange during this half a month!"
"Okay!" Leng Qingtian and the others agreed.
"Everyone, have a good rest. I"ll go with Freak tomorrow," Leng Ruoxue said. She had already divided everyone into five groups, with two people in each group taking turns to watch the stall.
Everyone nodded and returned to their rooms.
The next morning, Leng Ruoxue and Freak arrived at the exchange meeting venue.
Although there were many alchemists present, everyone was chatting in groups of three to five. There were not many alchemists who really exchanged, mainly because they basically exchanged almost all their medicinal herbs…
Ten days later.
It was Leng Ruoxue and Freak"s turn to watch the stall again.
In the venue…
Leng Ruoxue was leaning in Freak"s arms and glancing around the venue casually. She said lightly, "Freak, there seem to be more new faces today."
"Yes, they are probably from the Alchemist a.s.sociation Headquarters. I heard that they are the last to arrive at each exchange," Freak replied. The alchemists of the Alchemist a.s.sociation Headquarters were of higher levels and status, so they naturally wouldn"t come to the exchange meeting early like the other alchemists. Therefore, they were always late. But even if they came late, they were still the biggest winners of the exchange in the past. However, it was difficult to say this time.
While they were chatting softly, a tall, handsome middle-aged man in his fifties walked toward their stall.
The middle-aged man squatted down and said critically, "Are these the herbs you want to exchange? They seem quite ordinary."
"Yes! We are poor!" Leng Ruoxue replied lightly. In fact, she had basically exchanged all her herbs, so the stall only had some ordinary ones now. Moreover, it was not only her. Most of the alchemists were the same.. They were only here to make up the numbers.
