Chapter 484 - Leng Ruoxue"s Decision (1)
"Head Butler, I don"t think I know your name yet?" Leng Ruoxue asked with some amus.e.m.e.nt as she looked at the uncomfortable bandits in the hall.
"Miss, my name is w.a.n.g Long. I"m 55 years old, unmarried, don"t have any bad habits, height…" The head butler heard Leng Ruoxue asking for his name and wanted to tell her all his ancestors. However, he was stopped by Leng Ruoxue.
"Stop! I"m not asking for your hand in marriage. You don"t have to explain it so clearly," Leng Ruoxue said helplessly with several black lines hanging on her forehead.
"Uh! I thought Miss wanted to know more!" w.a.n.g Long said unpleasantly. He glared at the bandits, who were covering their mouths and laughing secretly, and felt a little depressed. Boohoo… He was embarra.s.sed again!
"I just want to know your name. Second Butler, what about you?" Leng Ruoxue continued asking.
"Miss, my name is w.a.n.g Ren. My surname is w.a.n.g, but we are not related by blood. This is purely a coincidence!" the second butler said with a smile.
"Got it." Leng Ruoxue was a little speechless. She finally realized why these bandits were so stupid. Alas! Could these bandits be smart with two such disconnected masters?
"Head Butler, arrange a quieter residence for us. We don"t like to be disturbed!" Leng Ruoxue ordered again.
"Miss, the back mountain is the quietest. However, no one has lived there for a long time, so…" the Head butler said with a troubled expression. He didn"t dare to continue speaking halfway!
"Is it abandoned?" Leng Ruoxue asked in realization.
"Yes, it has been abandoned for a long time," the Head butler said honestly. Beasts would always cause trouble in the back mountain, so as time pa.s.sed, the back mountain became uninhabited.
"It"s okay. There are so many of you. Cleaning up will be quick," Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly.
"Okay then!" the Head butler replied. He really didn"t want Leng Ruoxue and the others to live on the barren back mountain, but since Miss wanted to stay, he, as her subordinate, couldn"t refuse!
"Miss, it"s a little late today. Why don"t you stay here for the night? I"ll bring them to clean up tomorrow morning, and then you can move in?" The Head butler carefully sought Leng Ruoxue"s opinion after some thought!
"Okay, okay." Leng Ruoxue nodded in agreement.
"Hehe, Miss, Old Masters, please follow me." The Head butler bowed respectfully.
Leng Ruoxue and the others followed the Head butler to his residence. After making arrangements for them, the Head butler tactfully left.
In Leng Ruoxue"s room.
Leng Qingtian and the others arrived at the same time after the Head butler left.
"Xue"er, these bandits are a big burden!" Leng Qingtian said helplessly. He had a rough understanding of the situation here even though he had only been here for less than an hour.
"La.s.s, are you planning to raise these people for nothing?" Old Man Zao couldn"t help asking.
"I"m not a savior. I"m not related to them at all. Why should I raise them for nothing?" Leng Ruoxue said speechlessly. It wasn"t easy for her to get some money! She didn"t even have enough for her own people! How could she care about others? Moreover, she hated people who had hands and feet but wanted to reap benefits without working. Therefore, it was impossible for those people to count on her to raise them! However, she could think of a way to earn money for them, so they could rely on themselves. After all, robbery was not easy now!
"La.s.s, didn"t you already subdue them?" Old Man Zao asked in puzzlement. In his opinion, subduing should mean they are family, right? Why did the girl"s meaning seem different from what he imagined?
"I"m talking about taking them in. This place is so big, and our own people can"t use so many places. Moreover, they have nowhere to go, so we took them in and continued staying here," Leng Ruoxue explained. Those bandits were all mystics and their strength was not bad. Moreover, while possessing such strength would not mean to say that they could do whatever they wanted on the Boundless Heaven Continent, but it was absolutely not something to be underestimated. However, she was not too satisfied with those people because she could not see the characteristics of being a powerhouse or wanting to become a powerhouse in those bandits!
"Oh, that"s good." Old Man Zao was relieved. To be honest, those people were still not worthy of his attention even if they were stronger than him.
"Ruoxue, what do you intend to do with these people?" Lin Liang couldn"t help asking.
"I"ll ask the Head butler in detail about the situation in Myriad Mountain City tomorrow before making a decision!" Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. The little old man had only told them the general situation in Myriad Mountain City before he left, so she had to ask the butler about the exact situation.
"Okay, everyone should rest early today!" Leng Qingtian said. He was the first to leave Leng Ruoxue"s room after speaking, and the others followed closely behind.
After Leng Qingtian and the others left, Leng Ruoxue brought the freak into the bracelet.
"Hehe, Xue"er, those bandits are really not suitable for you." Empty appeared in front of Leng Ruoxue and the freak with a light smile.
"Yes!" Leng Ruoxue was also a little regretful. Those bandits were not her cup of tea, but since she had already taken them in, she couldn"t chase them out anymore!
"Xue"er, I can tell you some things if you want to know about the situation in Myriad Mountain City," Empty said with a smile.
"Tell me about it." Leng Ruoxue"s curiosity was piqued.
"Myriad Mountain City is very mysterious. No one knows how this city formed by mountains appeared, but it has its own rules. For thousands of years, countless families wanted to monopolize Myriad Mountain City, but they were unsuccessful. Therefore, there are many forces in Myriad Mountain City, and it is very chaotic. For example, the bandits in this mountain might not be weak, but their forces can only be considered to be the undercurrent in Myriad Mountain City."
"Every year, there will be powerhouses or mystics coming to Myriad Mountain City to settle down. Some of them are here for opportunities in Myriad Mountain City, while others are here to seek refuge because they offended some influential families.. The terrain here is very complicated, so it"s not easy for those influential families to find a person in Myriad Mountain City even if they stretched their tentacles," Empty explained.
