Chapter 143 - Change Of Tide (2)

"Big Sister, Ye Chen is looking for you," Qing Jue called out softly from outside the purple bamboo house.

"Got it." Even though Leng Ruoxue was cultivating, she hadn't completely sealed her divine sense, so she could hear what Qing Jue said.

Leng Ruoxue exited the Heaven and Earth Bracelet and opened the door to see the haggard-looking Freak standing outside.

"Xue'er." Freak hugged Leng Ruoxue tightly and excitedly.

"What happened to you? Did someone bully you?" A drop of sweat rolled down Leng Ruoxue's forehead. What's going on?

"I missed you."

"I only went into seclusion for a few days!" Leng Ruoxue was helpless. If I went into seclusion for a year or so, would he not be here anymore…

"Someone is looking for you," Freak said with dissatisfaction. He was very dissatisfied with Xue'er's reaction. Boohoo… Xue'er didn't even miss me!

"Who's looking for me?" Leng Ruoxue asked doubtfully.

"Someone sent by the empress."

"Oh, let's go take a look."

Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen walked into the living room. A young woman sitting in a chair immediately stood up and bowed to them when she saw them.

"Miss Leng."

"You are?" Leng Ruoxue looked at the woman in her early twenties. This woman had a beautiful face, snow-white skin, a gentle personality, and a good temperament. Her first impression of her was good, and she was an intermediate Spiritual Monarch.

"I am Mo Yingyue," Mo Yingyue said softly while looking at Leng Ruoxue curiously.

"Mo Yingyue?" Leng Ruoxue frowned in thought.

"I was too rude. Crown Princess is gracing us with her presence." Leng Ruoxue suddenly realized why she felt that this name was familiar.

"You flatter me. It was Imperial Mother who asked me to look for Miss Leng," Mo Yingyue said calmly.

"Yes, has the empress decided?" Leng Ruoxue asked in realization. It was enough to show the empress's sincerity since she sent the crown prince's wife.

"Yes." Mo Yingyue nodded. This was a serious matter, which was why she was sent here.

"In that case, look for me when you are ready. I will cooperate with you then," Leng Ruo said without hesitation.

"Okay, Miss Leng. Then I'll take my leave." Mo Yingque finished her task, so she didn't stay any longer.

After Mo Yingyue left, Leng Ruoxue went to the study.

"Grandpa!"

"Eh? Why is my Xue'er here? Weren't you in seclusion?" Leng Qingtian was a little surprised.

"Grandpa, do you want to enter seclusion? Or you can leave Phoenix City and go somewhere else," Leng Ruoxue suggested. There was going to be a big movement in Phoenix City soon, and she didn't want her grandfather to be in a dilemma.

"Uh… Xue'er, are you hiding something from Grandpa?" Leng Qingtian looked at his granddaughter suspiciously.

"Yes, there is. But I don't intend to let Grandpa know, so Grandpa, you should leave Phoenix City and stay somewhere else for a while!" Leng Ruoxue said honestly without denying it. Her grandfather would definitely not let her go when he returned if she really fooled him!

"Do you really need Grandpa to leave so badly?" Leng Qingtian confirmed expressionlessly. But he was thinking in his heart, Is Xue'er going to make a move? It seems that she has been provoked by someone.

"Okay, Grandpa, don't worry about the soldiers you told me about. Your granddaughter has arranged everything," Leng Ruoxue added to reassure her grandfather.

"Well, alright then! I'll go and visit my old friends!" Leng Qingtian said aggrievedly. Boohoo… my granddaughter has grown up and doesn't need me anymore…

"Grandpa, don't be like this. It's not like you won't be coming back." Leng Ruoxue had a few black lines on her forehead, and her beautiful face was full of helplessness.

"Xue'er, what did you arrange for those soldiers?" Leng Qingtian couldn't help asking curiously. He didn't expect Xue'er to think of a way so quickly.

"I've treated their injuries, and I'm preparing to open a restaurant to let them support themselves," Leng Ruoxue explained simply.

Ever since her grandfather told her that the disabled soldiers under him were forced to do dangerous things, she had been thinking of a way to help them. It was not that she was compassionate, but it was because these people were once her grandfather's subordinates. She didn't want to see him frowning all day for them, so she made a move. She wouldn't care if it was someone unrelated. There were many pitiful people in the world, and she couldn't manage to help them all.

"Xue'er, Grandpa thanks you on their behalf," Leng Qingtian said happily. Alas, there were more than a hundred people. It must have been tough on Xue'er.

"Grandpa, they shouldn't be thanking me but you." Leng Ruoxue didn't dare to take the credit. Everything she did was for her grandfather.

"You silly girl! Oh right, Xue'er, when do you need Grandpa to leave?"

"As soon as possible. Whenever you're ready, you should leave," Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. The empress should need some time to prepare.

"Alright, Grandpa will leave tomorrow then!" Leng Qingtian said straightforwardly. He felt much more relaxed now that the matter that had been weighing on his mind had been resolved.

"Okay."

The next day, Leng Qingtian reluctantly left the general's mansion.

…

Half a month later, in the garden of the general's mansion…

"Xue'er, Mo Yingyue is here." Feng Moran walked into the garden. Mo Yingyue had come several times in the past half a month, so almost everyone knew her.

"Let her come here!" She was lying comfortably on a recliner with her head on Freak's leg, enjoying him feeding her. She was even holding two little foxes, one black and one white. And on her snow-white wrist was a golden snake-shaped bracelet. She looked like a noble queen no matter how you looked at it.

"Okay." Feng Moran smiled and left.

Feng Moran soon returned with Mo Yingyue behind him.

"Sister Ruoxue really knows how to enjoy life! Handsome men surround you…" Mo Yingyue said enviously when she saw the handsome men beside Leng Ruoxue. After coming here a few times, she was already very familiar with her.

"Big Sister Mo can do it too," Leng Ruoxue teased. Two drops of cold sweat rolled down her forehead uncontrollably. Where are the handsome men? There's only Freak and my biological brother.
