“My Miss’s surname is Leng. We’re looking for Butler Yu,” Feng Da replied.
“Oh! Please wait a moment,” the guard said before closing the door to report to Butler Yu.
A few minutes later, Butler Yu came out personally.
“Young Lady Leng, your body has just recovered. How did you come out? Haha, if you want to see me, you just need to send someone to inform me and I will personally go see you.” Yu Tian’s face was full of smiles as he spoke with great enthusiasm.
“Butler Yu is very busy every day, unlike me who has nothing to do, of course I have to personally visit!” Leng Ruoxue said politely.
“Haha, quickly come in.” Yu Tian smiled awkwardly. His heart was beating like a drum. Uh! From her tone, could it be that Young Lady Leng was blaming him? Boohoo… he was wronged!
“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded, then everyone followed the housekeeper into the courtyard.
After bringing Leng Ruoxue and the others to the living room, Yu Tian instructed the waiter to prepare tea and snacks before sitting down to chat with them.
“Housekeeper Yu, have you found the thief?” Leng Ruoxue asked bluntly when she saw that Yu Tian was looking left and right.
“Uh! This… Recently, someone in Shadow City has been poisoned. However, we aren’t too sure either.” Yu Tian said very implicitly.
“Butler Yu, to be honest, the symptoms of the snake poison aren’t too obvious for the person who was bitten by my Xiaohuo. However, the person who is poisoned has an extremely strong physiological requirement. Before long, they will die from exhaustion. Moreover, this kind of poison can be transmitted through certain actions. So, it’s best if you find this person as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.” Leng Ruoxue calmly explained. She didn’t even ask who the person who was poisoned was. After that, she drank a mouthful of tea and looked at Yu Tian with her beautiful eyes that had a smile that wasn’t a smile. She believed that Housekeeper Yu knew what she said was true.
After speaking, Leng Ruoxue stood up and left.
After sending Leng Ruoxue off, Yu Tian sat alone on a chair and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he called out to the void, “Shadow!”
“Milord, what instructions do you have?” A black ghost-like figure instantly appeared before Yu Tian.
“Shadow, how trustworthy do you think Young Lady Leng’s words are?” Yu Tian asked his confidant very seriously.
“Sir, two of our men have already been poisoned, and they are still unconscious,” the shadow reminded. The two who had been poisoned had been bitten. Furthermore, their Shadow League’s alchemists had tried all sorts of methods but were still unable to cure the poison.
“You mean to hand that woman over?” Yu Tian hesitated. If it wasn’t because that woman was the younger cousin of the Lan Clan’s Young Master, he wouldn’t have to be in such a difficult situation. He definitely wanted to be on good terms with Young Lady Leng, but the Lan Clan wasn’t willing to provoke them. Although the Shadow League wasn’t afraid of the Lan Clan, if he could sell a favor to the Lan Clan, it would be beneficial to the Shadow League as well. Sigh! Could it be that there wasn’t a way to achieve the best of both worlds? For the past two days, he had a headache over this matter.
“Sir, if I am not wrong, Miss Leng and the rest must know who the thief is. Therefore, it is unlikely that they will be able to make a comeback,” the shadow said carefully.
“Sigh! What you said makes sense!” Yu Tian nodded, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
“Lord, you better remind the other lords about this. I feel that Miss Leng is even more difficult to deal with than the Lan Clan.” The shadow said softly.
“Of course I know that Young Lady Leng isn’t someone to be trifled with. However, they have to listen to me!” Yu Tian said in a somewhat depressed manner. At the same time, he recalled the fire lotus that Feng Miao sent over. Sigh! Using snow ginseng to exchange for the fire lotus was still them taking advantage of him. After all, even though snow ginseng was precious, it wasn’t as widely used as the fire lotus.
The shadow fell silent…
After Leng Ruoxue and the others left Yu Tian’s residence, they returned to the ‘Shadow Pavilion’.
In the room.
Feng Da could not help but ask, “Miss, what does Butler Yu mean?”
“The Shadow League’s face is nothing more than this.” Leng Ruoxue mocked. It seemed she had overestimated the Shadow League!
“La.s.s, the relations.h.i.+ps between the aristocratic families have always been very deep, so it’s normal for the Shadow League to hesitate. After all, the Lan family’s strength is obvious, and in their eyes, we can’t be compared to the Lan family at all,” the little old man said knowingly, consoling Leng Ruoxue.
“I know.” Leng Ruoxue nodded. Although she was a little depressed, she also knew that in the eyes of the Shadow League, she couldn’t compare to a super aristocratic family. Oh! Since ancient times, only the strong had the right to speak!
“Miss, didn’t Butler Yu promise to give us an explanation? Is he trying to fool us?” Peach Lu asked in confusion.
“Haha, of course he’ll give us an explanation. However, I’m afraid that it won’t satisfy us.” Leng Ruoxue said in understanding. After making a trip to the housekeeper’s office, she was even more clear about the Shadow League’s intentions. It looked like it was as she had expected, the Shadow League was currently in a difficult position.
“Miss, what should we do now?” Lü Tao could not help but ask. Were they working for nothing?
“Wait! In any case, I’m not the one who was poisoned, I’m not in a hurry!” Leng Ruoxue laughed lightly. Hmph! No matter what relations.h.i.+p that woman has with the Lan Family, since that woman dared to have designs on her, then don’t even think about living well. The Lan Family can’t protect Min’er either!
“Hehe! Then let’s wait!” said Lü Tao with an evil smile. However, she had not heard any screams for the past two days. Could it be that the woman had already left Shadow City?
“Yes.” Everyone nodded.
“Miss, when are we leaving this place?” Feng Miao suddenly asked.
“After this matter is settled, we’ll leave. Oh! What’s the matter?” Leng Ruoxue said with understanding.
“No… no.” Feng Miao hurriedly said.
“Oh! If you have nothing to do during the day, you can enter the s.p.a.ce to cultivate!” Leng Ruoxue thought for a while and said. The Shadow City was too small and there was really nothing to visit. After all, everyone who came here was here for the transaction.
“En.” Feng Da and the others nodded.. Just as they were about to enter the s.p.a.ce, they heard a knock on the door.
