These two old men ignored their status and positions to fight like children every day because they were afraid that Xue’er would worry about them.

In fact, how could they not be worried about Xue’er when she was worried about them? Xue’er and Ye Chen were the two people Xu Xing hated the most after all. If Xu Xing appeared, he would definitely first look for Xue’er and Ye Chen. This was also one of the main reasons why these two old fellows stubbornly stayed in the general’s mansion. The other reason was naturally because of the dishes Xue’er cooked!

“Alas! Which corner do you think Xu Xing is hiding in? Why isn’t there any news after searching for so long?” Lin Liang said worriedly. He wouldn’t be able to sleep well if he didn’t get rid of Xu Xing. Alas!

“Probably hiding in a rat hole? That old thing is cunning! How can he be so easy to find?” the old man said disdainfully. He hated Xu Xing to the core, but he hated himself even more for letting that old thing escape.

“Old Leng, don’t let Ruoxue and Ye Chen out of our sight. Xu Xing hates them to death now,” Lin Liang reminded. After sending some students away, he had given the other students and teachers of the academy a long holiday. Otherwise, he really couldn’t leave and stay in the general’s mansion all day.

“Yes, they are Xu Xing’s main targets now,” the old man echoed. Xu Xing definitely hated him, but Xu Xing didn’t know his identity, so he wouldn’t find him for the time being.

“Don’t you know that girl’s personality?! If she wasn’t afraid that we would worry, why would she be so obedient and stay at home all day?” Leng Qingtian said helplessly. He couldn’t do anything about his precious granddaughter.

In fact, Leng Qingtian was only half right about why Leng Ruoxue was willing to stay at home. The other half was to watch over them. She didn’t want these old men to put themselves in danger just to get rid of Xu Xing as soon as possible.

Listening Snow Pavilion…

“Xue’er, what do you plan to do?” Freak asked curiously while looking at Xue’er, who hadn’t spoken since returning to her room.

“Freak, do you think we should continue waiting like this? What if Xu Xing never appears?” Leng Ruoxue looked up at Freak. She felt that this was too passive. In fact, if she wasn’t worried about her grandfather and the rest, she would have used herself as bait to lure Xu Xing out.

“What else can we do?” Freak’s black diamond-like eyes stared at Leng Ruoxue.

“Do you think we will lure him out if we go out together?” Leng Ruoxue probed. She didn’t dare to say that she would go alone, or he would definitely be angry.

“Xue’er, Grandpa and the others won’t agree with you doing this. Aren’t you the same?” Freak said seriously. To him, it was the same no matter when Xu Xing appeared. It was not like they were unprepared. Instead, he was afraid that Xu Xing wouldn’t dare to come.

“But there has been no news from Hell and the Mercenary Union,” Leng Ruoxue said gloomily. She was running out of patience after waiting for so many days.

“Xue’er, Ling Feng Continent is so big, it’s not easy to find someone who wants to hide. Don’t worry. I don’t believe he can really hide forever.”

“I think you must be bored staying home all day. Why don’t we go out for a walk tomorrow?” Freak suggested.

“Okay, then let’s rest early today!” Leng Ruoxue also felt that she should go out for a walk. She was going to be bored to death at this rate.

Freak nodded. He waited for Xue’er to fall asleep before quietly leaving her room.

…

The next day, Leng Ruoxue and Freak finally managed to convince Leng Qingtian and the others and left the general’s mansion.

People were coming and going on the bustling streets as Leng Ruoxue and Freak walked side by side.

“Eh, what day is it today? There are so many people!” Freak said curiously.

“I don’t know!” Leng Ruoxue was also a little surprised. Today isn’t some festival in this world, right?

Freak went up to an old man and asked very politely, “Excuse me, sir. Why are there so many people on the streets today?”

The old man looked at the beautiful immortal-like couple in front of him and was stunned for a while before he recovered and said, “Today is the grandest temple fair in the Eastern Lagoon Empire. It’s only once a year, so of course there are many people.”

“Young Master and Miss, you two are really compatible! Go to the temple and ask for a lot. Today’s lot is very efficacious.” The old man couldn’t stay quiet after he started talking and kept rambling on.

“Okay, thank you, sir.” After thanking him, Freak handed the old man an amethyst coin and immediately left with Xue’er.

“Xue’er, let’s go ask for a sign!” Freak said with great interest and looked at Leng Ruoxue expectantly.

“That’s all a lie. How can you believe it?” Leng Ruoxue said speechlessly.

“Let’s go!” she continued after glancing at him.

Seeing Freak’s puppy-like expression of anticipation, how could she bear to refuse! She loved small animals the most.

After they arrived at the temple, they drew a lot and then went to the reception desk.

“May I know what the two of you are asking for?” someone who looked like a charlatan asked.

“Marriage affinity,” Freak said without hesitation.

“Oh, yes. This is a very good lot. Congratulations on your marriage destined by the heavens!”

“Xue’er, did you hear that? Haha! I’m so happy!” Freak couldn’t help shouting. I knew that Xue’er could only be mine, and no one could snatch her away!

A few drops of cold sweat dripped down Leng Ruoxue’s forehead as she rolled her eyes at him. Alas! As a spiritualist, he actually believes these things like an ordinary person.

“Let’s go take a look over there!” Leng Ruoxue hurriedly said when she saw that more and more people were watching.

Freak nodded and squeezed out of the crowd with Xue’er.

…

In a private room in the Elegance Lagoon Pavilion…

“Is she Leng Ruoxue?” a young man asked the old man by his side while standing by the window and pointing at a stunning beauty not far away.
