“The city wall collapsed?” Wu Ming and the elders looked at each other in shock. Then anger rose in their hearts. Hmph! No one reported such a big matter. Were those guards dead?
“Patriarch, our… our Wu family’s door has also shattered.” At this moment, the third butler, who saw that the situation was a little off, hurriedly reported. However, his voice was actually softer than a mosquito because of fear.
“What did you say?” First Elder roared with widened eyes.
“He said that your Wu family’s door shattered.” Leng Ruoxue kindly said for the Third Butler, who was trembling from fright.
“How is this possible?” Wu Ming and the elders had looks of disbelief. No one knew better than them how sturdy the door of their Wu family was. Moreover, the city walls would not be destroyed with a single touch.
“What’s impossible? I heard your Wu family’s city walls and doors are old. Alas! This kind of situation will happen after years of neglect,” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly.
“That’s impossible! The walls and doors of our Wu family might not be destroyed even if the Mystic Supremacy comes,” the First Elder roared.
“Say, old man! Aren’t you a little too confident! That paper-thin city wall and door of your house will break even if I poke it gently, let alone a Mystic Supremacy,” Feng Da said mockingly with a face full of contempt.
“Paper-thin? Ignorant thing. That door is made of mystic wood, and the city walls are also made of granite. It’s very sturdy.” The First Elder stomped his feet in anger from Feng Da’s words and roared at the top of his lungs without caring about his image.
“Mystic Wood? I’ve never heard of it,” Feng Da said lightly.
“First Elder, calm down. No matter how sturdy the Mystic Wood is, it’s only a rotten piece of wood. Therefore, I suggest you build an iron door with the Millennium Meteoric Iron to guarantee its sturdiness. Not even granite. You have to use obsidian. The bugs can’t bite it,” Leng Ruoxue suggested kindly. However, her suggestion angered the Wu family because the two things she mentioned were very precious refining materials. They were expensive, and even the three major families couldn’t afford to build such a door and city wall.
The First Elder was so angry that he couldn’t say anything after hearing Leng Ruoxue’s words. Only his chest kept heaving violently, which showed how angry he was.
“Where did Second Butler go!” After a while, the First Elder, who had calmed down slightly, roared out of the yard. Alas! He couldn’t do anything to these people, so he remembered the Second Butler who brought them here.
“First Elder, I’m here.” The second butler, who was hiding in a corner outside the yard and eavesdropping, ran in fearfully.
“Where did you go? Did you bring these people here?” The First Elder raised his leg fiercely and kicked the Second Butler, venting all his anger on the unlucky Second Butler.
“It’s… It’s me!” The second butler was kicked down by the First Elder and fell to the ground. A trace of red blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, which showed how ruthless the First Elder’s kick was.
“Why did you bring them back?” First Elder roared. In fact, what he wanted to say was, did you bring them back to anger me?
“I… I suspect that the incident on the city wall has something to do with them, so I brought them back and asked the patriarch to decide,” the second butler said carefully, feeling nervous.
“Nonsense! If they are really suspicious, you should lock them up in prison, not Peony Garden,” First Elder roared directly.
“So this isn’t a cell? I knew it! How can the Wu family’s cell be so good!” Leng Ruoxue said with a face full of regret.
“I… Patriarch!” The second butler looked at Wu Ming pitifully. Boohoo… He did it for the Patriarch!
“First Elder, calm down.” How could Wu Ming not understand the Second Butler’s meaning? He hurriedly advised and pulled the First Elder to a corner to whisper to him.
After a long while, they returned after muttering.
“Miss Leng, since you’ve come to the City Lord’s Mansion, we can be considered to be fated. Stay here for the time being! As for your suspicion, I’ll give you an explanation after Patriarch and I investigate the matter,” First Elder said with a serious expression.
“Give me an explanation? Alright, since the First Elder said so, I’ll stay here for a day!” Leng Ruoxue said very reluctantly.
One day? The First Elder frowned. How was one day enough! According to the patriarch’s plan, this woman was very useful, so he naturally had to cooperate with the patriarch.
“Miss Leng, I’m afraid we won’t be able to find anything in a day?” First Elder said awkwardly.
“Is your Wu family so inefficient?” Leng Ruoxue asked in realization.
“…” First Elder was depressed. He just wanted to keep Leng Ruoxue, so he found a random excuse.
“This matter is more complicated,” First Elder said after taking a deep breath. He finally realized that he couldn’t say too much to this little girl, or he would definitely be angered to death by her.
“What’s so complicated about it? Didn’t the wall collapse and the door shatter?” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly, despising this old fox’s words in her heart.
“Uh! That’s not what I think. We still have to find witnesses! Miss Leng needs witnesses too!” First Elder said matter-of-factly. After speaking politely to Leng Ruoxue and the others, he left Peony Garden with a large group of people.
After Wu Ming, the First Elder, and the others left, Empty looked at Leng Ruoxue and said with a light smile, “Xue’er, looks like they have an agreement.”
“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded. It seemed like the Wu family was really one and the same! None of them were good.
“Miss, what should we do now? When should we take action?” Feng Da said impatiently. Hehe, it was just a small test just now. He wanted to kill the big fish now.
“Go take a look around the yard!” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. Then she summoned Rise and ordered her to cast an invisibility spell on them.
After that, Feng Da and the others left Peony Garden invisible.
Feng Da and the others walked around the yard, looking around. There was a fire here and an explosive ball there.. It was as if they were strolling in their own backyard. It was so enjoyable!
