Chapter 62: You’re Too Impulsive!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The Li family’s patriarch frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Ling’er, bring Young Master Cong to rest first. Remember, let Young Master Cong rest in the residence!”

Hearing the Patriarch’s words, Kong Rui knew that he wanted Kong Rui to hide Chao Bai first.

He valued Chao Bai’s strength, but he was worried that others would covet his strength as well.

What happened at the First Restaurant today would inevitably provoke those clans and sects to seek revenge. It was best for Chao Bai to hide for a while.

Kong Rui glanced at Chao Bai. Seeing that he seemed to have no objections, she bowed to the Patriarch and planned to bring Chao Bai back.

The two of them had just turned around when they heard the Patriarch’s voice behind them. “Ling’er, I have something to tell you about tomorrow’s competition.”

Kong Rui gritted her teeth and turned around obediently. “Alright! I’ll bring Young Master Cong back first. I’ll be back soon.”

The patriarch nodded in satisfaction and instructed the butler, “Go and help.”

The butler didn’t dare to delay. He followed Kong Rui and Chao Bai to the small courtyard where Kong Rui was currently staying.

Originally, Kong Rui lived in an inconspicuous room in the backyard. Because of the spirit beast competition, the patriarch had specifically found a quiet courtyard for her so that she could train for the competition in peace.

Because of this, Li Han had caused a ruckus in the residence for a long time before her father reprimanded her. She finally endured this humiliation.

After Kong Rui and Chao Bai came to the small courtyard, Kong Rui first instructed the butler to tidy up the room for Chao Bai, then asked someone to prepare some food for him.

Although this guy had lived in the ice coffin for so long and didn’t look like someone who needed food, he was with her now. She couldn’t mistreat him.

The butler immediately obeyed and instructed a few servants to help clean up.

“Miss, look, the Patriarch…” Afraid that she would make the patriarch wait for too long, the butler reminded Kong Rui at the right time.

Kong Rui nodded and said to Chao Bai, “I’ll get busy first. Rest here.”

Chao Bai was clearly very dissatisfied with Kong Rui’s decision to leave without him. He took a few steps forward and was about to speak when the butler blocked his path. “Young Master Cong, please follow me!”

Chao Bai’s expression changed slightly, and the anger in his eyes could be seen.

Kong Rui was startled. She didn’t want him to attack the butler the moment he entered the residence!

Kong Rui walked up to Chao Bai and gently grabbed his arm as she comforted him patiently. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back in a while. Wait here first.”

Chao Bai frowned, dissatisfied with Kong Rui’s words. Kong Rui sighed and said, “You said that you would listen to me if you followed me.”

Kong Rui’s words immediately made Chao Bai lose his previous anger.

Although he felt helpless, he nodded obediently.

The butler looked at Chao Bai in disbelief. He didn’t expect such a powerhouse, who even the patriarch valued, to listen to Miss Li Ling so obediently.

What kind of power did Miss Li Ling have?

The butler was puzzled.

Before he could figure it out, he heard Kong Rui’s voice. “Butler, let’s go!”

Only then did the butler come back to his senses. He hurriedly responded and followed Kong Rui in the direction of the ancestral hall.

When Kong Rui came to the entrance of the ancestral hall again, the Patriarch was still standing there waiting.

Kong Rui raised her eyebrows and wondered if the Patriarch would have continued to wait if she had come a little later.

The Patriarch clearly didn’t notice the girl’s thoughts. He lowered his gaze and looked at Li Ling as he said, “Ling’er, you were too impulsive today!”

Kong Rui knew that the Patriarch was talking about the spirit beast competition.

Kong Rui gritted her teeth as she looked at the Patriarch. “Patriarch, the princess competed with me previously on purpose in order to embarrass me. If I want to win the spirit beast competition rightfully, I must defeat the princess!”

Hearing Kong Rui’s words, the Patriarch thought to himself. How could he not know this?

However, the princess had the phoenix. It wouldn’t be easy for Li Ling to defeat her!

If the princess and the phoenix really worked together and defeated Li Ling, wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing?

Kong Rui wasn’t as worried as the Patriarch. All she could think about was how to snatch her little phoenix back from Wen Qiong!
