“Oh!” Ning De jumped onto the little peacock’s back and then looked at Leng Ruoxue hesitantly. He hesitated for a while and finally couldn’t help saying, “Miss, give me a appearance changing pill too. I can sit with you this way.”

He had been wanting to refine a few appearance changing pills these few days, but he actually didn’t have enough herbs on hand, so he could only give up helplessly.

“Okay!” Leng Ruoxue agreed without hesitation. In fact, she didn’t give Ning De the appearance changing pill on the first day for Guan Yue Long to see. She just wanted Guan Yue Long to know what choice she should make. She was a pacifist after all! Hehe!

“Really?” Ning De looked at Leng Ruoxue in disbelief. Boohoo… Why did Miss agree so easily? All the excuses he had already thought of were useless.

“Of course, I never lie,” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.

“Haha, the reason why I didn’t give you the appearance changing pill last time was that I hoped Guan Yue Long could make a sensible choice. It was also to let him know that the Alchemist Association didn’t fall out with their Guan Yue family,” Leng Ruoxue added and explained her thoughts simply.

“Oh, I understand,” Ning De said happily. Boohoo… He thought that he was despised by Miss because he was an outsider! He was immediately happy knowing that it was not for this reason!

“Ning De, did the major families do anything these few days?” Leng Ruoxue asked casually.

“The Guan Yue family has always been very quiet. However, the Wu family has been asking about the residences of Miss and the others. Moreover, there seem to be a few forces secretly asking about Miss and the others.” Ning De reported everything he knew, afraid that he would miss a single thing.

“Which forces are they?” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help asking.

“The Luo and Bai families,” Ning De answered honestly.

“The Luo family and the Bai family?” Leng Ruoxue frowned in thought. She had no dealings with the Luo family. Could it be that the Bai family wanted to avenge that Bai Ru?

“The Luo family might not be as strong as the Wu family but they have always been on good terms with the Guan Yue family. As for the Bai family, they are only at the bottom. Logically speaking, they should be paying attention to the movement of the Guan Yue family the most, but they sent people to inquire about Miss. I really don’t know why!” Ning De said doubtfully. He had actually thought about this question for a few days, but he had never thought of an answer.

“Could it be that they want to have ideas about Miss? Aren’t they overestimating their capabilities?” Feng Da guessed with a face full of disdain. Hmph! Not just anyone could have ideas about his young miss. Not to mention that Commander Ye would fly into a rage, even they wouldn’t do it!

“Hmph! Anyone who dares to have designs on Xue’er, die!” the freak roared directly without thinking after hearing Feng Da’s words.

“Oh right, Miss, there’s another thing. Wu Qian’er was beaten up again a few days ago.” Two drops of cold sweat hung on Ning De’s forehead as he thought, Alas! Violent freak, unlucky Wu Qian’er!

“Beaten up by who? It seems like she has a lot of enemies,” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously. That Wu Qian’er was really unlucky. However, she didn’t want the person who beat up Wu Qian’er to ruin her matter. Therefore, she hoped that Wu Qian’er didn’t lose an arm or a leg. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t let the person who beat Wu Qian’er off!

“I don’t know.” Ning De was also a little puzzled. He knew that Miss and the others definitely didn’t do this. Who could it be? He couldn’t understand.

“Is Wu Qian’er’s injury serious?” Leng Ruoxue asked with concern.

“Not serious, just some superficial wounds. She went on stage normally the next day after taking our association’s pills.” Ning De said with a naughty smile. Hehe, he gave Wu Qian’er the Snake Accumulation Pill that he refined together last time!

“Yes, well done. Wu Qian’er can’t be absent from the competition,” Leng Ruoxue praised.

“Miss, we’ve arrived at the venue of the flower appreciation festival,” the little peacock suddenly interrupted. It took off as soon as Ning De sat on its back. However, because the venue was not very far, it only flew for a few minutes before reaching its destination.

“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue and the others jumped down from the little peacock’s back. The little peacook landed at the entrance they entered from on the first day. Moreover, there was no one else at the door except for the guards.

The group walked straight into the venue in a grandiose manner. The guards at the door hurriedly bowed when they saw them and then watched their backs very respectfully…

“Miss Leng, you’re finally here.” The Fifth Elder, who had been waiting in the venue, ran to them as soon as Leng Ruoxue and the others entered.

“Fifth Elder?” Leng Ruoxue looked doubtfully at the Fifth Elder, whose eyes were brimming with tears. Uh! What was going on? Why did Fifth Elder look like he had seen a long-lost relative when he saw their expressions? Was there a need to?

“Miss Leng, quickly give me the antidote to the appearance changing pill! Boohoo…” Fifth Elder choked. It had been five days, and he had been in deep water and fire every day. The patriarch and First Elder laughed hysterically when they saw him, while the other elders and clansmen kept staring at him doubtfully. No matter where he went, almost everyone would find an excuse to follow him, afraid that he would sneak into the Guan Yue family to cause trouble. Boohoo… He was really too pitiful.

“Haha, Fifth Elder, I can’t give you the antidote if you still want to sit with us today!” Leng Ruoxue said with a smile. Hehe! She really forgot about the antidote. However, she believed that Fifth Elder’s life these few days must be very exciting!

“Miss Leng, I’m not sitting with you anymore,” the Fifth Elder said tactfully. It was the last day. He was helpless alone if anything really happened. He knew very well that the patriarch could not stop Leng Ruoxue and the others from finding trouble if they really wanted to. Therefore, he shouldn’t court disaster!

“Oh, then eat this!” Leng Ruoxue took out a pill from her ring and handed it to the Fifth Elder.

“Thank you, Miss Leng.” Fifth Elder took the pill and hurriedly threw it into his mouth.

“Fifth Elder, please tell your patriarch that the flower appreciation meeting will end today.. The time limit I gave him is three days,” Leng Ruoxue reminded him. After speaking, she led everyone past the Fifth Elder and walked toward their seats from last time…
