Chapter 173: Encountering the Men in Black Again (2)

Seeing that the old man was getting anxious, Leng Ruoxue didn’t beat around the bush and told him the news she had heard in the Southern Dusk Empire.

“Little girl, is this news accurate?” The old man’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Leng Ruoxue in disbelief.

Leng Ruoxue nodded. When the emperor of the Southern Dusk Empire told them these things, he was afraid that they wouldn’t believe him, so he established a contract. The binding power of contracts in this world was very terrifying, so the news was absolutely trustworthy. Moreover, she believed that the other imperial families and the Great Families would definitely have heard about it.

“I really didn’t expect the Xu family to be so ambitious.” The old man was a little angry but also a little helpless.

It was no secret that the Xu family was ambitious. But which top force was not ambitious? It was simply unrealistic. Thus, as long as the Xu family didn’t provoke them, no Great Family or imperial family would be willing to deal with the Xu family. After all, others would only benefit from it if there was an internecine outcome with the Xu family.

“Haven’t there been signs for a long time?” Leng Ruoxue said lightly. The Xu family had long stretched their tentacles to the various imperial families and Great Families, even to the major academies. Moreover, their ambition was exposed in advance this time because they wanted to deal with her.

“Then what should we do now?” the old man couldn’t help asking. Yes, even though they knew about the Xu family’s restless ambitions a long time ago, no one had ever thought of dealing with the Xu family. However, the Xu family’s wings were probably already hard now. Alas! What a miscalculation!

“It’s not too late to deal with them now.” Leng Ruoxue smiled gently to console him. To be honest, she didn’t expect the Xu family to accidentally reveal all their forces in order to obtain spots for the mystic realm. Is this considered penny wise, pound foolish?

“Little girl, do… the other four Great Families know about this?” the old man asked curiously, his face full of anticipation.

“They should know more or less, but it’s definitely not as clear as the investigation by the Southern Dusk Empire. I have already sent people to inform them. As for whether they believe it or not, it’s not up to me,” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly. The Feng and Huo families would definitely believe her, but she couldn’t guarantee the same for the Ye and Shui families. After all, both families had people who disliked her. Moreover, they wanted so badly to obtain spots to enter the mystic realm that they would probably be blinded by benefits.

“I’m relieved as long as the Five Great Families don’t unite.” The old man touched his heart slightly and seemed to be relieved.

“It’s hard to say. After all, the person they want to deal with now is me, not you for the time being.” Leng Ruoxue added fuel to the fire. At the same time, she gave the old man a heads up in case he didn’t take it seriously.

“Little girl, can’t you let this poor old man heave a sigh of relief first?” The old man glared at Leng Ruoxue in complaint.

“Old man, don’t you want a spot for the mystic realm?” Leng Ruoxue suddenly asked.

“Of course I want it, but…”

“But you’re worried about your descendants?” Leng Ruoxue asked. This old man was already at peak Spiritual Supremacy, so she didn’t believe that he had stayed in the palace because he couldn’t break through.

“Little girl, if there was someone as smart as you among my descendants, I wouldn’t be so worried anymore!” the old man said helplessly. The Eastern Lagoon Empire was the headquarters of their Li family, so he couldn’t lose it!

“The children and grandchildren will have their own happiness. If they don’t live up to expectations, do you want to take care of them for life? How long can you take care of them?” Leng Ruoxue said in disapproval. If the descendants were disappointing, the items left behind by the ancestors would be destroyed sooner or later, regardless of how much they left behind.

“Little girl, I’m not as open-minded as you think.” The old man sighed.

“That’s why you look so old,” Leng Ruoxue suddenly said.

“What does this have to do with my appearance being old?” The old man was stunned and puzzled.

“You worry too much.”

“…”

This girl is teasing me! The old man was speechless.

“Old man, we’re leaving. The operation will begin in three days.” Leng Ruoxue pulled Freak onto Quill’s back and disappeared with a whoosh.

Leng Ruoxue and Freak quickly returned to the general’s mansion.

“Freak, rest early today!” Leng Ruoxue said to him from the entrance of the Listening Snow Pavilion. They had almost not had a good rest these few days.

“Xue’er, I will miss you,” Freak said affectionately with a nod.

“Be good and go back to your room to sleep quickly,” Leng Ruoxue said as she walked into her room. The door closed behind her.

Oh Xue’er, why are you so unromantic? Freak couldn’t help thinking while looking at the closed door.

…

Three days passed quickly.

Late at night, Leng Ruoxue and Freak met up with the old man in the palace.

“Old man, go with the emperor. Big Sister Mo and I will go together. We have to capture all of them in one fell swoop. Don’t let any fish escape the net,” Leng Ruoxue reminded and casually handed them a bottle of pills. This medicine was newly concocted by her, and the effects were absolutely several times better than the one she gave Fu Mingzhu back then.

Tonight, their goal was to get rid of the minions planted by the Xu family in the Eastern Lagoon Empire. Moreover, Grandpa Lin would make a move at the same time. Her grandfather had already gone to the Heavenly Phoenix Academy to help him.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let a single fish go,” Li Yuan promised. How could he let someone who threatened his rule live in this world?

After distributing the tasks, Leng Ruoxue and the others split up into two groups and headed straight for the Mo family and the Fu family.

Leng Ruoxue, Freak, and Mo Yingyue soon arrived at the Mo family mansion.

Under Mo Yingyue’s lead, the three of them quickly arrived at the room where the patriarch of the Mo family lived.

“Big Sister Mo, what do you plan to do with them?” Leng Ruoxue asked softly before entering the room. She arranged for Mo Yingyue to come to the Mo family in hopes that she could handle her family matters herself.

“I want them to suffer a fate worse than death,” Mo Yingyue said with hatred. In fact, she hated her grandfather, the patriarch of the Mo family, the most. Second in line was her self-righteous and arrogant uncle. But she knew that now was not the time to kill them. Their goal tonight was only to control them.
