Chapter 62: Collapse, Falling into the Hands of Dan Shigong!
"Hehe, Xiao Xue, how did you know!" Bing Qi opened her icy blue eyes and asked with feigned surprise. Moreover, to match Leng Ruo Xue's words, she even let out several fake sneezes in a row, humph! Bullying Xiao Xue was the same as bullying her! People like this must not be forgiven!
"Poor little Bing!" Leng Ruo Xue stroked Bing Ji's head, her stunning face filled with a pained expression.
"Xiao Bingbing, you're really pitiful, how did you catch a cold?" said Leng Ruo Han sympathetically, not understanding the situation.
Feng Da and others also showed their concern in a timely manner, surrounding Bing Qi to ask about her well-being, because they were still unclear about the power of Xiao Bing's sneeze, let alone that Xiao Bing had selective sniffles!
But Zheng En, who understood the truth, had a black line on his forehead, and in his heart, he was filled with infinite sympathy for the Guan Yue family. Alas! Poor Guan Yue family, why did you have to help the Wu family bully Miss? Now you've gotten yourself into trouble! Alas! He now knew why Miss was willing to leave the inn so readily. It turned out that this was what she had been waiting for all along. He said it himself! How could Miss possibly not teach the Guan Yue family a lesson?!
"Miss, let's leave quickly!" Zheng En reminded, also not knowing when Xiaobing's sneeze would take effect, but it's best to wait until they leave before it happens, hehe, this is the most perfect.
"Hmm." Cold as snow nodded, and everyone left Guan Yue Lou together...
Just a few minutes after Leng Ruo Xue and the others left Guan Yue Lou, Guan Yue Lou collapsed as Zheng En had expected. At first, the building developed a slight crack, followed by a violent shaking of the building. A few seconds later, it completely collapsed...
"What the hell is going on?" a guest who had narrowly escaped from the Moon Viewing Pavilion couldn't help but shout loudly, looking at the collapsed pavilion he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. Oh my god! It was really too scary, almost got hurt, fortunately his reaction speed was fast enough, however, not all guests were so lucky, many guests, although they ran out in time, but were injured when running out of the hotel door...
"Exactly, shopkeeper, you must give us an explanation. Your Moon Viewing Building is supposed to be the best inn in Moon Viewing City, how can the quality be so poor?" Another person asked with a dissatisfied face, he was also one of the lucky ones who didn't get hurt, but his companion did.
"Don't worry, everyone. We will give you a satisfactory explanation." The shopkeeper comforted, having just finished checking the injured, he immediately sent someone to report, alas! In fact, he didn't know what was going on either! However, fortunately, no one was seriously hurt, this is really an unfortunate blessing!
"That's good!" The two interrogators were relieved and then returned to their respective companions.
The Kangetsu family's main residence.
In the hall.
The servant who came to report was pale, trembling all over as he looked at the master sitting in the main seat. His heart was racing wildly and his legs were a little weak. He had already reported everything that happened, but the master and the elders didn't react at all!
"Are you saying that the Guan Yue Lou has collapsed?" After a long silence, an elder of the Guan Yue family finally asked with some disbelief, earlier when they heard this news, they were all stunned, and now they have just reacted!
"Yes." The servant replied in a low voice, sweating profusely. How could the master and elder be so inattentive after such a big thing happened? Did his words just now all go unheard? He couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Nonsense! How could the Moon Watching Pavilion possibly collapse? The quality of the Moon Watching Pavilion is one of the best in the Vast Heaven Continent!" That elder couldn't help but roar like a lion, he simply didn't believe the servant's words, because in his heart, the Moon Watching Pavilion would never collapse due to quality issues.
"The five elders really collapsed, now all the guests in the store are sleeping on the streets, and many people were injured, but fortunately no one died." The waiter said carefully.
"Elder, send someone to take a look. Make sure to handle it carefully and appease them well. The flower appreciation meeting is about to start soon, we can't let them have any dissatisfaction." A silent master of the house suddenly spoke up and instructed.
"Yes, don't worry, master of the house. I will personally take care of this matter." The elder stood up and guaranteed, then turned around and left the hall...
At this time, Leng Ruo Xue and others were already on another street adjacent to Guan Yue Lou.
Her fingers lightly brushed against the soft, velvety fur of the Ice Kirin, whispering softly to herself: "The time should be about right, shouldn't it?"
"Heh heh!" Bing Qi smiled complacently, and the eyes of man and beast collided, sparking a sudden flame, but he didn't say a word!
"Miss, we've been kicked out, and the inns in Guanyue City are all full. Shouldn't we find a place to camp?" Feng Da asked, unable to help himself. Alas! After being cooped up for a while, he only discovered that Miss was so easy-going when they came out, and she really left just like that. At the very least, shouldn't there be some compensation? Thinking of this, his heart felt somewhat stifled, unaware of the truth.
"Why bother camping? We can just go to the Dan Shifu Guild, and see if Zheng En's announcement has been delivered." Cold Snow lightly said with a smile. In fact, if it weren't for this matter, she hadn't planned on going to the Dan Shifu Guild at all. But now, not going wasn't an option either. After all, the inns in Guan Yue City were fully booked, and there were so many of them, they would definitely need a temporary place to stay.
"Hmm." Feng Da and others nodded, then everyone followed the signs on the map and walked towards the Dan Shigong Association.
After walking through two more streets, Leng Ruoxue and others arrived at the entrance of Dan Shigonghui.
The Alchemist Guild of Moonwatch City, although it can't be compared to the headquarters in Carefree City, but just looking at its tall and majestic appearance, it shouldn't be too shabby inside either. After all, alchemists are usually very wealthy!
"Go ahead!" Leng Ruoxue said to the crowd, then she was the first to push open the door of Dan Shizong's mansion and walked in. The others followed closely behind her.
"Hello, are you here to buy dan medicine or participate in the assessment?" The staff of Dan Shifu Association's first floor hall asked hastily as they saw Leng Ruoxue and others.
"We want to see the president." Leng Ruoxue took out a token and handed it to the staff member.
"Everyone, please wait a moment." The staff member's eyes widened in shock and unbelief as he saw the card that Leng Ruoxue had taken out. He hastily excused himself and rushed upstairs to inform the president.
"Miss, what brand is this? It's so useful?" Feng Da asked, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at the token in Leng Ruo Xue's hand.
"I don't know." Lan Yu said calmly, humph, she really didn't know! The card was given to her by Ren Li, saying that it might be useful later. She thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she kept it.
"That plaque is the proof of the president's identity." The old man said with a hint of mystery, although Ren Li was no longer the president of the General Assembly now, but he gave the plaque representing the president's identity to Ya Tou. Hmm, he still had good eyesight, and besides, Dan Shi General Assembly had always been recognizing the plaque rather than the person, heh!
"What?" Leng Ruo Xue was stunned for a moment, and then a surge of anger rose up in her heart. That damned Ren Li, how dare he try to scheme against her!
"Ah, girl! Things have come to this, you'd better resign yourself to it, heh heh!" The old man said with a smile.
"Resign myself to fate? How is that possible, Ren Li isn't causing trouble for me again, is he?" Leng Ruo Xue said somewhat angrily.
"Huh? What did you just say?" The old man asked with some confusion.
"Hmph! If those elders knew that this hot potato was in my hands, no matter who among them became the president, they would be names that didn't match reality. They wouldn't even dare to come and bother me!" Leng Ruoxue said somewhat angrily, if she had known earlier that this broken token would cause so much trouble, she wouldn't have wanted it from the start.
"Ah, Snowy, if this plaque were in someone else's hands, the new president would also be looking for trouble. But with you holding it, they wouldn't dare! The old man chuckled and teased, Hehe, those elders saw Snowy and scurried away like mice seeing a cat, where would they still dare to come and look for trouble? They're not unaware of Sun Wei's outcome!"
"Is that Miss Leng? I am Ning De, the president of Guan Yue Cheng Dan Shi Gong Hui." Just as they were chatting, a stout middle-aged man came down from upstairs with big strides. Seeing the people standing in the hall, he hurriedly walked up to them with a smile on his face.
"I am, you know me?" Leng Ruoxue asked with some curiosity, huh! She was very certain that she had never seen the president before, but how did he recognize her?
"Ah, Lord Du Ming, hello." Ning De nodded and then bowed respectfully to Du Ming. As a legendary figure in the Dan Sheng realm and the god of all alchemists, he was extremely excited to see the real Du Ming.
"Hmm." The old man nodded slightly, which was his way of greeting.
"How did you know mine?" Leng Ruo Xue looked at Ning De with some confusion and asked.
"Hehe, let's go upstairs first, everyone! It's not quite suitable to stand and chat in the hall." Ning De said calmly, suppressing his excitement.
"Hmm." Cold as snow, she nodded, now very much wanting to know how this guy would recognize her. Uh! For some reason, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Please come this way." Ning De said respectfully.
Everyone nodded and then followed Ning De up to the second floor.
"Hehe, everyone, this is my office, please come in and take a seat!" Ning De said with great enthusiasm. His idol had arrived at his guild, and he was more than just excited!
Leng Ruoxue and others walked into Ning De's office and casually found a place to sit down.
"Director Ning, can you tell me now?" asked Leng Ruo Xue after she sat down.
"Miss Leng, it's like this. A few days ago, we received a notice from the General Assembly, which said that you possess the token of the President of the General Assembly. We should treat you with the same respect as the President and not be neglectful." Ning De explained with a smile.
"Can I take a look at the announcement?" Leng Ruoxue said, wondering what those old guys from Dan Shizong would say.
"Alright." Ning De took out the notice from the cabinet and handed it over to Leng Ruo Xue.
Leng Ruo Xue took the notice and opened it, only to glance at it for a few moments before feeling somewhat depressed. This notice not only explained Zheng En's situation but also mentioned some things about her, especially the last sentence reminding everyone in the guilds to be careful not to provoke her!
"Let me take a look." The old man looked at Leng Ruo Xue's expression with some doubt, huh! This girl's reaction is quite strange!
"Hmm." The cold and snowy Yu handed the notice to the old man, who couldn't help but think to himself, "Is she really that terrifying?"
The old man took over the notice and looked at it carefully. After finishing reading, he sighed emotionally: "These elders are quite knowledgeable."
"Ah!" Nǐ Dé's forehead was beading with two drops of cold sweat, he really didn't know how to respond to Du Míngé's words!
"Ningde, hasn't the general assembly elected a president yet?" The old man asked to confirm.
"No, for now it's managed by a few elders together until the future president has time to take over." Ning De carefully glanced at Leng Ruoxue, in fact, he knew quite a bit about these things, but in front of a certain person, he didn't dare speak rashly.
"Haha, your future president will probably be too busy to have any free time. Tell the elders to just keep managing things as they are!" The old man laughed and said, it seemed that those old guys had different opinions and didn't want each other to be the president, and coincidentally, the token representing the president was in Yatou's hand, so they stopped arguing, after all, they were deeply afraid of Xue'er Yatou!
"Ningde was somewhat speechless... could he not agree?"
"Ning, we were kicked out of the Guan Yue Lou. Can you arrange a place for us to stay?" Leng Ruo Xue was too annoyed to discuss this matter further and changed the subject, saying to Ning De.
"Huh?" Ning De was stunned, had he heard wrong? The Guan Yue family had always been very respectful of Dan Shifu's, how could they be driven out, had their brains gone bad? Not to mention that Du Ming Ge alone was someone who couldn't be hired even with money, let alone the fact that there was also a future president of the Dan Shifu Association!
"Are you surprised?" asked Leng Ruoxue, looking at Ning De's expression with a hint of teasing.
"Hmm! It's a bit unbelievable." Ning De said bluntly, it seemed that the Guan Yue family's brains had indeed gone bad, didn't they know that they couldn't afford to offend Dan Shifu?
"Director Ning, would you first help us arrange a place to stay? As for what happened, let my subordinates tell you!" Leng Ruoxue said with a sly smile, heh heh, this is also a test for Ning De!
"Alright, wait a moment." Ning De hastily said, and stood up and went out of the room.
A moment later, Ningde came back.
"Miss Leng, Mr. Du, the room has been arranged, please follow me." Ning De said, then led the way in front, leading Cold Ruo Xue and others to a courtyard in the backyard.
"Miss Leng, we're here," Ning De said as he led Cold Ruo Xue and others into the courtyard.
"Director Ning, thank you. I'm very satisfied with the house." Leng Ruxue said politely as she surveyed the spacious and clean courtyard.
Although this yard is not big, the environment is still good, with flowers and grass, green trees shade, can be considered as small but complete.
"Miss Leng, there are only five rooms here, which can't accommodate so many people. So I arranged for the others to stay in another courtyard," Ning Hui Zhang explained.
"It's all right, they can squeeze in a bit more." Lan Ruoxue said calmly.
"Hmm! Our guild has many empty rooms, so..." Ning De thought of saying that there was no need to squeeze in, but before he could say it, he was interrupted by Leng Ruo Xue.
"Ning President, we have offended the Wu family. If they are too far away from me, I'm afraid the Wu family will find them, so it's safer to squeeze in." Leng Ruxue explained.
"Oh!" Ning De nodded, but in his heart, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "How did it involve the Wu family again?"
"Feng Da, tell Ning Hui about what happened, so he won't worry. I'll take a rest first." Leng Ruo Xue instructed, then pulled the demon and casually found a room to enter...
"Ah! Miss Leng!" Ning De couldn't help but call out, how could they be taking a break already when the sky wasn't even dark yet?!
"Director Ning, come, sit down and listen to me slowly." Feng Da pulled Ning De onto a stone bench and began to embellish the treatment they received after arriving at Guan Yue City...
About an hour later, Feng Da finally finished speaking.
After hearing Feng Da's words, Ning De slammed his hand on the table and stood up angrily, indignantly shouting: "Hmph! The Wu family is really too much, and the Guan Yue family has no principles at all. How can they collude with the Wu family!"
"Director Ning, you truly have a strong sense of justice. If everyone on the continent of Haotian were like you, there wouldn't be any miscarriages of justice. In fact, Miss Wu's severe injury has nothing to do with us. Our Night Commander simply kicked her and that's all. How could being kicked in the foot cause such serious injury? What do you think?" Feng Da asked, first flattering Ning De before asking his question.
"Hmm, good, hum! Previously, the Wu family came to purchase Dan medicine, fortunately, the guild didn't have it, and refining it would take time. Moreover, one of the precious main medicines was missing, otherwise, wouldn't that be a bargain for the Wu family?! Ning De said angrily, then immediately let out a sigh of relief, Ah, fortunately they didn't have that Dan medicine, otherwise, if he had saved Cold Miss's enemy, wouldn't that be going against Cold Miss? Thinking about this, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. Hmm! Cold Ruo Xue has a personality of avenging her enemies, he had heard about it before, otherwise, those high and mighty elders also wouldn't be so cautious. They also wouldn't order them to serve carefully."
"Yes, Director Ning, you are a righteous person, you absolutely cannot assist the wicked! " Feng Da reminded very kindly, heh heh, who let the Wu family and the Guan Yue family join forces to bully them? Without the wound-healing medicine, Miss Wu will have to suffer for a few more days!"
"Alright, don't worry, I know what to do." Ning De looked at the crowd in the courtyard and guaranteed, then stood up and bid farewell.
"Hehe, Captain, you're so bad!" Lin Yuan said with a light laugh.
"What's wrong with me?" Feng Da glared and said viciously, humph... who was he doing this for? Actually saying he was bad, what a joke!
"Stop arguing, hurry up and set up the tent, do you want to sleep outside tonight?" Zheng En reminded, his tent was already set up, although he might not necessarily sleep inside at night, but still, had to keep up appearances!
"Oh." Feng Da and others responded, also hurriedly getting to work.
Many hands make light work. After more than ten minutes of effort, the courtyard was filled with tents, leaving only a narrow path from the room to the door that people could walk through.
In the room.
Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao sat on the chair, after listening to Feng Da's words to Ning De just now, they saw that they had set up the tent with ease, and couldn't help but nod their heads in satisfaction.
"Xue Er, why was that Wu family's young lady so seriously injured?" Yao Jiao asked with some puzzlement. He knew very well how powerful his kick was, and Wu Qian Er would definitely be hurt, but not to the extent of being so heavily injured!
"I don't know, unless that woman has other enemies?" Cold Snow guessed.
"Hmm, it's possible! If I knew who framed me and made me take the fall for him, I wouldn't let him off! The demon gritted his teeth and said that, not caring about Wu Qian'er's life or death. However, he now regretted being too lenient at the time, which led to him taking the blame for someone else. Ugh... if only he had known, he would have been more ruthless back then! That way, it would have been justified!"
"Haha, you're quite frustrated now, aren't you?" said Leng Ruoxue calmly.
"Hmm, it's really depressing." The demon said truthfully, wooo... he was framed!
"Heh heh, what's there to be depressed about? In fact, no matter how heavy your kick is, the Wu family will never let us off." Lan Ruoxue said calmly. Even if the demon hadn't kicked Wu Qian'er out of the inn, Wu Qian'er would still find trouble with them - it was an unavoidable thing!
"Xue Er, I'm depressed because I was framed by someone. You must comfort me well." The demon's bright black eyes looked at Leng Ruo Xue with longing, and the starry eyes were full of expectation!
"All right, you go and invite them in, let's go have a Silver Snow Fish banquet." Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.
"Huh? That's it?" The demon looked at Leng Ruo Xue with great dissatisfaction.
"Or else?" Cold-as-snow beauty's innocent-looking eyes gazed at the demon and asked.
"At least give me a kiss!" The demon's lips were slightly pursed, his handsome face full of expectation.
"Don't perform R-rated shows in front of me, I'm still a pure and innocent kid! " At this time, Bing Ji, who had been lying in Leng Ruoxue's arms, opened her icy blue beautiful eyes with a hint of helplessness, reminding them of her presence, and whispered... don't ignore me!
"Sleep with you!" The demon glared at Bing Qi, saying in a bad mood, "Hmph... how could he have forgotten this little lamp?"
"Haha, you little demon, go and call them quickly!" Leng Ruoxue looked at the somewhat annoyed You Yao and laughed happily.
"Uh-huh." The demon reluctantly responded and got up to leave the room.
"Xiao Xue, you guys will get me into trouble." Yao Jie said with a wronged expression after leaving, looking at Leng Ruo Xue.
"You're already bad enough without us teaching you." Cold Snow raised the ice crystal to her own eyes, teasing.
"Xiao Xue, how can you wrong me!" Bing Qi protested, tears instantly flooding her icy blue eyes and spinning around inside.
"Dead Ice Cream, you're acting pitiful again in front of Snow." The person who was called back by the demon saw Ice Cream's pitiful appearance and bluntly exposed it. Humph, how did all the people and beasts around Snow learn this trick now?!
"I don't have any." Bing Qi glared at the demon with discontent and roared.
"Alright, let's not argue anymore. Let's go eat Silver Snow Fish!" Cold Ruo Xue sighed slightly helplessly and said, then suddenly, with a change of heart, she led everyone into the ring.
"Xu?r." The cold engine that had been restlessly circling in space saw his beloved granddaughter and hurriedly came forward to greet her.
"Grandpa, we're at Dan Shifu's place!" Leng Ruoxue hastily explained upon seeing her grandfather's expression.
"Huh, I know, Xue'er, what's going on?" Leng Qingtian asked somewhat puzzled. He had just come out of his closed-door training and although he knew that his granddaughter and others were driven out of the inn, but as for the beginning and end of things, he wasn't very clear.
"Grandpa, don't worry, the Wu family is no match for us." Leng Ruoxue calmly recounted the events to her grandfather once again.
"So that's how it was!" After listening to his granddaughter, Leng Qingtian couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. Alas! He had never thought that the cause of the matter would be a piece of pastry, this was truly unthinkable.
"Grandpa, let's go and eat silver snow fish." Leng Ruoxue coquettishly pulled her grandfather's arm, for her, all of these didn't count as anything, and she would make the Guan Yue family and Wu family know the consequences of provoking her.
"Hmm." Leng Qingtian nodded, he had never worried about his granddaughter's strength. Instead, he felt a little sympathy for the two families that had provoked his precious granddaughter. Alas! What did you say? Who else could they have provoked instead of coming to provoke his granddaughter?!
Leng Ruo Xue and others were eating delicious silver snow fish in space, feeling extremely comfortable. However, some people in Guan Yue City did not feel as good as they did!
The Kangetsu family's main residence.
In the Plum Blossom Courtyard, the Wu family members were temporarily staying here.
"Master, Miss is fainting again." A maid in Wu Qian'er's room said worriedly to a middle-aged man with a somewhat ferocious appearance.
"Come in!" The middle-aged man shouted loudly, and the two subordinates who had been waiting at the door walked in directly.
"Master of the house, what are your orders?" The two subordinates asked respectfully.
"Has the second housekeeper returned?" The fierce-looking master of the Wu family asked with some anger, he had sent the second housekeeper to buy snake gourd, but it had been several hours and he still hadn't come back, it was infuriating.
"Report to the master, the second housekeeper has not returned yet. However, I heard that there is no Snake Teng Flower in any of the shops in Guan Yue City, so I guess the second housekeeper went to a nearby town to buy it." said one of the subordinates.
"Oh, Second Master is back, notify me immediately. By the way, what's going on at the guest house?" The master of the Wu family asked again, humph! Qinger was his most outstanding daughter, now she was lying in bed like a useless person, how could he swallow this anger? He would definitely not let those people off.
"As far as I know, the innkeeper has already driven them out of the inn." Another subordinate spoke up, this news was what he had just learned, but he didn't know whether or not to tell the master about the collapse at Guan Yue Lou.
