Chapter 3 The Great General Who Protected His Brother (1)

  Just as the two little girls were at a loss, not knowing how to explain themselves to their father, the owner of the voice had already arrived at the Tingxue Pavilion where they were. Looking at the tall and majestic figure standing in front of them, the two exchanged glances, and on their delicate and beautiful faces, they couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. Alas, considering how much their father doted on his daughter, if he knew that she had done something so dangerous and still hadn't returned with any news, he would probably go crazy. Moreover, given the strength of their father, who was at the peak of Linghuang, if he really went mad, there wouldn't be anyone in the entire imperial capital who could stop him. The only person who could stop him was his best friend.

  "You two are not taking good care of the young lady, standing outside doing nothing, are you slacking off?" The great general Leng Qingtian, who had just returned to the General's Manor and hadn't even changed his clothes yet, hurriedly came to see his precious granddaughter. His face was full of displeasure as he spoke, telling these two maids to take good care of his treasured Xue'er. Who knew that these two maids would actually let his precious granddaughter get hurt? As soon as he received the news, he rushed back overnight, not daring to delay for a moment. Who knew that as soon as he returned, he saw these two handpicked maids standing outside Xue'er's room door, looking flustered and anxious. His anger immediately rose, humph! If it weren't for receiving the news on the road that his precious granddaughter had already woken up, he would have dealt with them right now.

  "Master, it's the young lady who ordered us to guard outside. She said no one is allowed to disturb her." Green Peach, who was very familiar with the old master's temper, hastily replied, her tense palms sweating, hoping that the young lady would appear before the old master as soon as possible.

  "What is Xue Er doing inside the room?" Leng Qing Tian's eyes were deep and profound, his expression was unfathomable, but his tone was light and flat, without any discernible emotions.

  "Miss..."

  "Speak, if you dare to conceal even a little, you will be punished by the family law!" Leng Qing Tian's face was stern and his tone was severe as he spoke, intentionally releasing a hint of pressure. It seemed that since he hadn't been in the mansion for several days, even the servants and maids dared not take his words seriously, judging from their flustered appearance, he knew something must have happened.

  Green Peach and Emerald Bamboo fell to the ground with a "thud", their cultivation was only at the level of Grand Spirit Master, they couldn't withstand the overbearing pressure. Just then, the door suddenly opened, a red-clothed stunning beauty walked out from inside, for a moment, all three were stunned.

  "Miss?" Green Peach and Emerald Bamboo were shocked back to their senses, both of them were infatuated, and their mouths began to water.

  "Are you... are you Snow's daughter?" Leng Qingtian asked, somewhat dazed, as he stared at the face that bore more than an 80% resemblance to his late daughter-in-law.

  "Grandfather, you can't even recognize your own granddaughter?" The bright and clear eyes of Leng Ruoxue looked at the grandfather in her memory with a pouting expression. Yes, in that silly Ruoxue's memory, there was this extremely doting and loving grandfather. Silly Ruoxue had very deep feelings for her grandfather and was also very dependent on him. She inherited those memories and body of Silly Ruoxue, and towards this old man who unconditionally loved Silly Ruoxue, she felt extremely close. This old man, known as the War God on the battlefield, also made her feel an unspeakable affection. And this old man's love for his granddaughter was exactly what she had been craving for a long time, so before meeting him, she had already decided to acknowledge this grandfather. Now that she saw him, it only solidified her thoughts. Her grandfather was none other than the renowned War God of Dongchi Country, the strongest at the peak of Linghuang, an idol worshipped by countless people. But the man in front of her, with disheveled hair, a face full of stubble, and clothes covered in dust, looking like a worn-out old man, was actually her grandfather, the Imperial First-Class General. It's probably hard for anyone to believe if she told them.

  "Haha... great, it's really great that my baby Xue'er has finally woken up. Grandpa is so happy! Come on, let grandpa take a good look!" Cold Tianyan couldn't help but burst out laughing with joy, his face full of exhaustion. His granddaughter was cured, and he had finally made up for the loss of his son and daughter-in-law who had passed away.

  "Grandpa, you've traveled for so many days and must be exhausted. Go rest first and get a good sleep. Your granddaughter won't run away, wait until Grandpa is well-rested, then your granddaughter will let you see her as much as you want." Cold Snow's absolutely beautiful face had a small pout on her tender lips, showing some disobedience.

  "Grandpa is not tired, Grandpa is happy!" The joy on Leng Qingtian's face couldn't be hidden. Now that he saw his granddaughter wake up with his own eyes, he finally knew he wasn't dreaming and his wish for many years had come true.

  "Grandpa should go take a bath and change his clothes!" said Leng Ruo Xue with a smile at the corner of her lips, her bright eyes sparkling mischievously.

  "Right, right, I need a bath. Look at how dirty I am. Xue'er, wait for Grandpa." After saying that, he vanished.

  "Miss!" Green Peach and Emerald Bamboo were excited, seeing Miss surrounded by spiritual energy, they knew that Miss had successfully awakened.

  "What are you still kneeling for, get up!" Leng Ruoxue looked at the two maids who were still kneeling and stretched out a slender jade finger. A thread of spiritual energy was released from her fingertip, and the silver-white spiritual energy slowly flowed around her green jade finger.

  "Silver white! Great Spiritual Master……” Cui Zhu couldn't help but exclaim, while Lu Tao was relatively calm, but both of them were speechless for a long time. In just two days, the young lady had transformed from someone with no spiritual awakening to a Great Spiritual Master. What kind of monstrous talent was this? Compared to the young lady, could those so-called geniuses even be called geniuses? Was the young lady born to crush people? They themselves had decent qualifications, but it took them almost 10 years to become Great Spiritual Masters. But the young lady did it in just two days... or maybe not even that long. They were left speechless.

  "Xue Er." After finishing his grooming, Leng Qing Tian walked in with steady steps, but he felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange. What had happened?

  "Huh, Xue Er, you've become a Great Spiritual Master?" Leng Qing Tian was shocked beyond belief. In fact, with his cultivation level, it wasn't difficult to see that Xue Er's level wasn't high. But as the saying goes, "concern leads to confusion", earlier his entire mind was focused on Xue Er regaining consciousness, and he really hadn't noticed Xue Er's cultivation level. After all, who could have thought that someone who had just regained consciousness would suddenly become a Great Spiritual Master? Suddenly, it seemed like he thought of something, Leng Qing Tian's face changed color.

  "What is the meaning of this?! You dare to deceive me, who gave you the guts? Take them away and lock them up, wait for my punishment!" Leng Qingtian's face was full of anger as he pointed at Lv Tao and Cui Zhu, ordering the guards at the door. The matter of Xue Er being injured had not even been punished yet, and they still dared to deceive him about such a big thing!
