“Alright then! Since this is second elder’s request, then I’ll do second elder a favor. As long as I meet him, I’ll definitely take care of him. However, if he doesn’t appreciate it, then don’t blame me!” Leng ruoxue said the ugly words first to avoid any hidden complaints later on.
“En!” The second elder nodded helplessly. He was very clear about the third elder’s temper. Hence, he also knew that Leng ruoxue’s words were not alarmist talk. The third elder might really not appreciate it. The only thing he could do now was to hope that third elder would not be so stubborn and not have too much prejudice against Leng ruoxue.
“Second elder, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving.” Leng ruoxue chuckled. Then, she could not help but remind him,””You have to be careful in the ning family!”
“Little girl, don’t worry! We’ll be careful. ” The second elder promised. Then, he led the other elders to personally send Leng ruoxue to the main residence and watched them leave.
Initially, he had wanted to send a few members of the ning family to be Leng ruoxue’s guides. However, Leng ruoxue had rejected his offer. In her words, she only needed the map and did not need any guides.
Actually, the reason why Leng ruoxue rejected the offer was that it was not convenient to bring the ning family along. After all, if there were outsiders around, they would not be able to enter and exit the bracelet as they pleased.
Half a month later.
Leng ruoxue and the rest flew non-stop day and night. Finally, they arrived at the city closest to the endless ocean, ten thousand Maple City.
The reason why this place was called ten thousand Maple City was said to be because there was a large number of maple leaves here, hence the name.
Along the way, in order to get to the endless sea as soon as possible, they ate and slept in the open, day and night in the city. Finally, they arrived at the only way to the endless sea, ten thousand Maple City.
Ten thousand Maple City wasn’t big, and there weren’t many people inside. They randomly found a hotel and prepared to rest for a while before continuing their journey.
The journey from ten thousand Maple City to the endless sea was less than two days. Therefore, they decided to rest here for two days before heading to the endless sea.
However, on the second day of their arrival at thousand Maple City, they ran into ning haolan and Cheng Xuan, who were following closely behind them. Leng ruoxue’s head started to hurt when she saw them.
Why are these two here? Weren’t they supposed to be in their respective families? After all, as the young masters of the family, it was time for them to perform well! However, these two people had followed them and also arrived at ten thousand Maple City. She didn’t need to ask to know that these two people definitely wanted to go to the endless sea.
Looking at Leng ruoxue’s furrowed brows, Cheng Xuan didn’t need to guess to know that the two of them, uninvited guests, had been despised.
“Great aunt!” Cheng Xuan’s handsome face was bitter, and he said in a soft voice with a slight grievance.
“What are you doing here instead of staying at home?” Leng ruoxue gritted her teeth.
“We’re here to help. ” Cheng Xuan said, a little embarrassed.
“Help? What can you do to help?” Leng ruoxue raised her brows and asked, but she couldn’t help but feel disgusted in her heart. Could he be here to make things worse? She really didn’t have high hopes for these two guys! In fact, the reason why she hadn’t caught up with Ning Yan and the others on this trip to the ning residence was not only because she was pressed for time, but also because she was afraid that someone would insist on following her when she left. As a result, she had simply shut herself in and refused to see anyone. She didn’t even let Cheng Xuan, who had returned with her from the godly mainland, live in ning Zhiyuan. Instead, she had driven him to the old place where he had come to the ning residence, which was ning haolan’s residence. However, she was now a little skeptical about her decision back then.
“There are many things we can help with, great aunt! Please don’t look down on us, okay?” Cheng Xuan said, feeling wronged.
“Oh, really? Then can I ask if you can wash clothes or cook?” Leng ruoxue asked with a smile.
When grape heard her young miss ‘question, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She thought to herself,”young miss is too cute. How could these two young masters do such a thing?” Oh! No, he should know how to cook. Otherwise, if he didn’t even know how to cook, he would starve to death when he went out for experience.
Ignoring grape’s laughter, Cheng Xuan and ning haolan’s eyes widened in disbelief when they heard Leng ruoxue’s words. Could it be that in Leng ruoxue’s heart, they could only do laundry and cook? Did they not have any other use? This fact hurt the pride of the two prideful children.
“Well … We know how to cook.” Cheng Xuan said, unconvinced. However, his voice was pitifully soft when he said this, and it was obvious that he was feeling guilty.
“Oh! Then, is the food that you guys make good?” Leng ruoxue continued to ask.
“I won’t starve to death.” Cheng Xuan said. The food they made was definitely not as good as Leng ruoxue ‘s. In short, it would fill their stomachs.
“You won’t starve to death? Are your requirements for food so low? How can you abuse yourself when you’re outside?” Leng ruoxue criticized in dissatisfaction.
“We didn’t want to do that either, but we’re all alone out there, so we can’t have such high expectations. So, we’ll be satisfied as long as we Don’t Starve to death.” Cheng Xuan quickly said. In fact, he rarely ate when he went out. If he was really hungry, he would just find a city nearby and eat to his heart’s content.
“Such low requirements! You don’t meet my standards, so you should go home!” Leng ruoxue chased him away impolitely.
“Great aunt! We’re already here, don’t be like this!” Seeing that he was about to be driven away, Cheng Xuan could not help but plead pitifully. He never dreamed that such an excuse could be used to drive people away. This was too far-fetched!
“I didn’t ask you to come. Go home.” Leng ruoxue waved her hand impatiently on purpose. She did not want these two guys to follow her into the mystic realm. Otherwise, if something were to happen, wouldn’t the ning and Cheng family be in even more chaos?
“Great aunt! We won’t go back. If you don’t let us follow you, then we’ll go by ourselves. ” Cheng Xuan said disapprovingly.
“Are you threatening me?” Leng ruoxue squinted her beautiful eyes and glared at Cheng Xuan with slight displeasure. It seemed like this fellow had really gotten close to her! He even dared to threaten her.
“This isn’t a threat, it’s a fact! We were originally going to the endless sea, and now that we’ve met, and we’re acquaintances, we naturally have to go together. However, if you don’t welcome us, then we’ll just go on our own. ” Cheng Xuan smiled calmly. However, the smug expression on his face made Leng ruoxue feel like she was asking for a beating.
“Forget it! You guys should come with us!” Leng ruoxue thought for a moment and said helplessly. She could tell that this fellow had her in the palm of his hand. He knew that she wouldn’t ignore them. This was the truth. She would only be more at ease if she kept these two fellows by her side. Otherwise, if something happened to them in the mystic realm, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to her Godfather and the Cheng clan head. She would also feel guilty.
