Chapter 21: Framed!

  Leng Ruo Xue heard Bing Qi's cry, and two drops of cold sweat fell from her forehead. She looked at Bing Qi with some surprise and said: "Little Ice, what are you calling?"

  "Heh heh, Xiaoxue, there's a good show to watch!" Bing Qi smiled mysteriously and remained silent.

  "Xiao Bing, you've become naughty!" Leng Ruo Xue teased. Xiao Bing surprisingly liked to sell out secrets now, however, although Xiao Bing refused to say, she was also very clear that Xiao Bing had probably discovered something.

  Just as Leng Ruoxue had expected, after Xiao Bingbing finished shouting, several figures quickly emerged from the Blue House's backyard, and the sound of fighting also started to ring out...

  "Little Snow, let's change places and steal some more." Seeing that the fish in this section of the river had been stolen almost clean, Ice Ball proposed.

  "Xiao Bingbing, isn't that enough?!" Leng Ruoxue said somewhat helplessly. Was Xiao Bingbing really going to finish off all these silver snow fish in one pot? Wouldn't the Blue family be driven to tears?!

  "Little Snow, Silver Snowfish breed quickly, so don't worry, the Blue House will have many again soon." Bing Qi said nonchalantly.

  "But it's not easy to raise you up to this point, is it?" Cold Snow wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and hesitated.

  "Xiaoxue, you have to believe me. Besides, these fish are already mature. Even if we don't eat them now, the Lanyu family will consume them anyway." Bing Jili said calmly. Although silver snowfish can be used to refine pills, the best ones for refining Silver Snow Pills are those that are not yet fully mature. The effect of the refined Silver Snow Pill is the best when made from immature fish. On the other hand, eating mature silver snowfish is the most delicious way to enjoy them. Moreover, if these fish are left uneaten for a long time, they will naturally die when their time comes, so it would be a waste not to eat them.

  "Lan's family will eat it too?" Leng Ruo Xue was somewhat puzzled, wasn't Silver Snow Fish very precious?

  "Little Snow, Silver Snowfish have a growth cycle and the longest lifespan is only ten years, so after these fish mature, if they're not eaten, it's a waste! Moreover, although Silver Snowfish are difficult to raise, breeding offspring is very powerful, so don't worry." Bingxi explained, sighing that Little Snow was just too kind-hearted.

  "Oh! Let's go!" Cold-as-snow nodded and the two humans and two beasts changed locations again to continue stealing fish.

  In another courtyard, two groups of people were fighting, while Leng Ruoxue and others were busy stealing fish, and they changed places several times in a row.

  "Xiao Bing, isn't that enough?" asked Leng Ruo Xue, raising an eyebrow slightly. There were probably only a hundred or so fish left in the entire river by now, and even she was starting to feel a little uneasy about it.

  "Alright then! Sigh... Xiaoxue is just too kind-hearted." Bing Qi nodded reluctantly.

  "Hmm! Let's go take a look at the excitement!" Leng Ruoxue wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "Sweat! Xiao Bingbing actually said she was kind!"

  "Alright! Let's go cause some trouble!" Bing Qi's face was filled with excited words, causing trouble was what he loved most!

  Leng Ruo Xue nodded slightly with a hint of speechlessness, and the two humans and two beasts walked towards the location of the fight.

  In the middle of the main hall, the guards of the Blue House were fighting with several men in black. The large courtyard was filled with flashes of knives and swords, and colorful auras flying everywhere. After Leng Ruoxue and others arrived at the scene, they stood aside to watch the battle, anyway, they were invisible, so no one else could see them.

  "Xiaoxue Xue, even the lowest-ranking guards in the Blue House are all Xuan Wang!" Bing Qi observed the battle while also taking on the task of interpreting.

  "Hmm, indeed one of the three great super families! The foundation is just enough." Leng Ruoxue's eyes were fixed tightly on the fighting duo as she said.

  "Those black-clothed men were quite decent in terms of strength, basically all being Xuan Huang. Xiaoxue, can you guess who sent them?" Bing Qi asked with a sly smile.

  "Either it's the Sun family or it'll be the Xuan Master's sect?" Leng Ruoxue guessed.

  "Heh heh, they're all from the Sun family. Otherwise, why would the Blue family's guards be so enthusiastic?" Bing Qi said with a hint of pride.

  "Hmm." Cold as snow, she nodded, she had also heard that the Blue and Sun families were not on good terms, but looking at the two sides fighting to the death, it seemed even more serious than the rumors!

  "Xue Er, are we just going to watch like this?" the demon suddenly asked, with a gleam of mischief flashing in his bright black starry eyes.

  "What do you want to do?" asked Leng Ruoxue, looking at Yao Jiao with a smile.

  "Heh heh, watch this." The demoniac smiled mischievously and also changed his voice, shouting loudly: "Quickly come here! Someone from the Sun family is stealing silver snow fish!"

  As soon as he finished shouting, the leader of the black-clad men who were fighting with the Blue House guards in mid-air almost fell off because he was out of breath!

  "Damn it, who's framing us!" The leader of the black-clad men cursed, they were clearly here to kill Leng Ruoxue and the others, but as soon as they arrived, they were discovered by the Blue House guards, and now they've even been accused of stealing fish. He was furious! Now, he could be said to hate these two people who had spoken out, one after the other, with a hatred that went to the bone!

  "The Sun family really has a big nerve, daring to come to our Blue family to steal fish." The leader of the guards said disdainfully, his eyes full of contempt.

  "We didn't come here to steal fish." The leader of the men in black couldn't help but explain.

  "Not here to steal fish, huh! What are you doing sneaking around at midnight? Don't tell me you're out for a stroll, this isn't your family's property, you can't just run wild!" The leader of the guards didn't believe him at all, in his heart, he thought that no one from the Sun family was any good.

  "Just pretend we're here for a stroll." The leader of the men in black said with resignation, sighing! How could he be so unfortunate? He knew that no matter what he said, it would not work, and they did not take the Lan family seriously.

  "Come to our Blue House for a walk, it's the same as attacking, and you'll end up dead." The leader of the guards said without hesitation.

  "Hmph! We are both Xuan Huang, you can't kill me!" The leader of the black-clad men sneered and said.

  "That's not necessarily true." The captain of the guards said confidently, and the two were soon entangled again...

  Not far away, Leng Ruoxue heard the demon's shout and cold sweat flowed down her forehead again...

  "Hey, Xiao Chenchen, you're so bad!" Bing Qi couldn't help but praise as he watched the increasingly intense fight between the two.

  "I think they're still a bit undercooked, how about we add some more fire?" the demon suggested.

  "Hmm?" The icy blue eyes looked at the demon with some suspicion.

  At this time, the demon had already taken the small and delicate bamboo tube in his hand, and aimed at one of the black-clothed men's buttocks, shooting it out...

  In just a few seconds, the man in black fell to the ground with a 'thud', while the Blue House guard who was fighting him stood there stupidly, his face full of question marks!

  "Haha, this is fun, let me play with it!" Bing Qi took the bamboo tube from Yao Jiao's hand, holding it with one hoof and pressing the small button repeatedly with the other.

  A few minutes later, except for the leader of the black-clad men, all the black-clad men fell to the ground, while the Blue House guards were all stunned at the same time...

  "What's going on?" One of the guards squatted down to take a look at the black-clad man who was already dead, his face full of confusion, and muttered to himself.

  Now, in the spacious courtyard, only the leaders of both sides were fighting, while the leader of the black-clad men was still unaware that his subordinates had all gone to see God.

  "Master Lan, all of our silver snowfish have been stolen!" The butler, who had gone to check on the silver snowfish, ran up to the two of them, panting heavily as he exclaimed loudly.

  "Hum! You are indeed here to steal fish, how shameless!" The leader of the guards shouted in anger after hearing what the butler said.

  "We said we were just out for a stroll," the leader of the men in black argued, cursing inwardly, damn it, who's framing us?!

  "Go die!" The leader of the guards roared, using his strongest move, ready to strike with all his might. However, he found that his opponent had fallen...

  The leader of the guards was stunned, then withdrew his own Xuanli and raised his head in confusion. Only then did he discover that at some point, all the black-clad men had fallen to the ground. Eh!... When did the Sun family become so vulnerable?

  "Blue Master, your strength has increased again?" The butler walked up to the captain of the guards and asked curiously.

  "No, he wasn't killed by me." The captain of the guards said frankly.

  "Huh? But he died right in front of you!" The butler said with some puzzlement.

  The leader of the guards crouched down and carefully examined the body of the black-clad man, only to find that his entire body had turned black, which was clearly a sign of poisoning. Could it be that these people were determined to die in order to steal fish? The Sun family was truly ruthless!

  "He killed himself out of guilt." The captain of the guard concluded after inspecting.

  "Hmph! He's stolen so many of our fish, even if he doesn't kill himself, I won't let him off!" the butler thundered in indignation.

  "How many did you steal?" The captain of the guards couldn't help but ask, looking at the angry expression of the housekeeper. Those silver snow fish weren't something that just anyone could steal, so in his heart, it was already quite good that those people were able to steal a few.

  "There are still over a hundred left, waaah...!" The butler said with tears in his eyes. His fish! They're all gone like this, waaah...The Sun family is really too despicable! You know, those fish were the result of him thinking of many ways and finally raising them so well, but now...

  "Report it to the master of the house! Just say that the Sun family stole our silver fish." The leader of the guards said decisively.

  "Good." The butler gritted his teeth and said.

  After listening to the conversation between the leader of the guards and Guan's family, Leng Ruo Xue and the two beasts quietly returned to 'Ning Xiu Garden'.

  After entering the room, Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao couldn't help but burst out laughing along with the two beasts.

  "Haha, it's really too funny." said Leng Ruoxue with a light smile.

  "Yes! The Sun family will definitely take the blame for this." The demon said happily.

  "Heh heh, thanks to me!" Bing Qi said with a bit of arrogance, his tail proudly raised again. If it wasn't for him discovering those black-clothed men in the first place, how would they have been caught by the Blue Family's guards just as they were sneaking into the Blue Family's courtyard? Heh heh!

  "Yes! You're the smartest." Leng Ruoxue patted Bing Ji's little head, praising him.

  "Xue Er, let us out!" At this time, the cold engine in the ring transmitted a message. They knew that Xue Er and others were going to steal the silver snow fish, so they wanted to go and see for themselves. Therefore, they all entered the space very naturally, so everything that happened outside just now, they also saw with their own eyes, and moreover, they had been laughing in the space until they almost rolled on the ground.

  "Alright." Cold as snow, she turned her mind and Grandfather and others were moved out by her.

  "Haha, girl, the Sun family has really lost this time! They've suffered a great loss and must be furious! The old man laughed gleefully, overjoyed. Heh heh, the Sun family came to kill them, but in the end, they didn't even get to see their faces, and instead became thieves themselves. Alas, it's just too pitiful!"

  "Ruo Xue, your poison is really formidable! It's even able to withstand the Dark Emperor." Feng Jin's face was full of astonishment as he said this, and at that time, the effect of the poison had almost made his jaw drop in shock.

  "That's because we launched a surprise attack. If it were a real battle, with our current strength, we wouldn't even be able to touch the hem of Xuanyuan's clothes." Leng Ruoxue said frankly, her poison was quite formidable, but it also required an opportunity to use it effectively. Otherwise, that poison would just be for show.

  "Haha, anyway, your poison has greatly boosted our confidence!" Old Man Zuo exclaimed excitedly.

  "Hmm." Leng Ruoxue nodded slightly.

  "Alright, it's getting late, everyone should go back to their rooms and get some rest!" Lan Tianyi said, after all, this place wasn't like his own home, the Blue family had many hidden experts lurking in the shadows!

  "Alright, let's go back to our room." Lao Tou said, and followed everyone out of Leng Ruo Xue's room.

  "Xue'er, let's take a rest too!" the demon said.

  "Hmm." Cold as snow, she turned her mind and brought the demon and two beasts into the ring.

  After entering the ring, they came directly to the pool where the Silver Snowfish were raised.

  By the pool, all kinds of beasts gather here, drooling and envying, looking at the silver-white fish swimming happily in the pool water...

  "Don't tell me you guys want to eat fish!" Leng Ruoxue said with some helplessness, shaking her head.

  The beasts all nodded in unison, their eyes revealing a longing gaze, and pitifully looked at the cold-as-snow figure.

  "Not now!" Leng Ruoxue said without giving him a chance to negotiate, her beasts were so many, how could this little fish be enough to share? Fortunately, in the space, the growth rate of these fish would accelerate, and their lifespan would also increase. So, she believed that it wouldn't take long for them to have fresh and delicious Silver Snow Fish to eat.

  "Alright, everyone stop looking. I've already handed these fish over to Qing Jue for management. None of you are allowed to sneak a bite, especially Wu." Leng Ruo Xue glanced at the crowd of beasts and Wu, then warned.

  "Xue Er, why is it especially me?" said with some discontent, obviously everyone's thoughts in their hearts are the same, so why did he only say that to one person? Hmph... Xue Er is too biased!

  "It's you." Leng Ruo Xue said, then ignored him and directly pulled the demon together towards the Purple Bamboo House.

  "Hehe!" Bing Qi turned her head and covered her small mouth with a sly smile.

  "Everyone stop looking and go to sleep!" Wu Yu said indifferently, then also headed towards his residence.

  The next morning.

  Leng Ruoxue and others had finished their breakfast and were chatting in the garden when Lan Lie led Leng Wudi over.

  "Xiao Bing, I've come to see you. It's been a whole night since we last met, and I really miss you." Lan Lie said with a husky voice.

  At the same time, he also shocked everyone present into a cold sweat. Leng Wudi, who was beside him, immediately jumped two meters away, his face looked very strange, his eyes were slightly terrified and stared at him, with "I don't know him" written all over his face.

  "Xiao Bing, I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring me?" Lan Lie said with a pout.

  "Don't think about me, I'm not interested in you." Bing Qi shook his head and said very seriously.

  “……”

  Everyone is sweating...

  "Wo... Little Ice, you really broke my heart. I thought of you all night and couldn't sleep well. Look, I even have dark circles under my eyes." Lan Lie said pitifully, with tears shining in his eyes that refused to fall.

  "You want to go with your mother, I am a public figure." Bing Qi said somewhat angrily, Grandfather's, the Qilin clan is not good at this kind of thing.

  "But in their heart, there's only you." Lan Lie said with a hint of ambiguity.

  "Xiao Xue, I can't take it anymore." Bing Qi said pitifully to Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Hmm! Can't bear it anymore, no need to bear it." Leng Ruoxue said, strongly suppressing her smile.

  "Good!" Bing Qi was furious, especially after seeing everyone turn their heads to stifle a laugh. He couldn't contain his anger, so he opened his small mouth and let out a big sneeze, blowing Lan Lie out of the "Ning Xiu Garden". Of course, compared to those people from the Sun family, he had shown mercy.

  Everyone watched as Lan Lie flew out of the garden with a "whoosh" and disappeared, their hearts racing with cold sweat. They all thought to themselves, fortunately, it wasn't them! The atmosphere in the garden also dropped to its lowest point, and everyone fell silent.

  After a long time.

  Lan Lie limped and hobbled, extremely disheveled, under the support of his servants, he walked into 'Ning Xiu Garden' again.

  "Xiao Bing, you're too heartless." Lan Lie's eyes were filled with tears as he said this in a wronged tone.

  Unfortunately, Bing Ji didn't even lift an eyebrow and instead started snoring on Leng Ruo Xue's shoulder.

  "You people are too lacking in sympathy." Lan Lie said, seeing Bing Ji ignore him, he turned his head and said to the crowd.

  However, Leng Ruo Xue and others also turned their heads around, similarly ignoring him.

  "Little uncle, your lovely nephew is injured." Lan Lie said directly without giving up.

  "Uh! Then you'd better go back to your room and rest!" Lan Meng said with a forced smile, somewhat helplessly comforting him.

  "Little enemy, your best friend is injured." Lan Meng's reply was very dissatisfying to Lan Lie, so he said to Leng Wu Di again.

  "If you're calling me Little Enemy, I'll make sure you get hurt even worse." Cold Blood said with a cold smile.

  "Little Enemy? Haha! What a great name!" The old man couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard the name.

  Leng Wudi threw a cold glance over, but instead of stopping the old man from laughing, he laughed even more happily...

  Leng Wudi was depressed. These people's minds were not quite normal, and they couldn't be inferred with common sense! So, he didn't bother to argue with this old man anymore! Hmph!

  "Little enemy, can you bear it?" At this time, Lan Lie secretly glanced at Leng Wuji and pretended to be pitiful again.

  "If you don't believe me, you can try calling again." Leng Wudi said with a seemingly smiling yet unfriendly gaze.

  "Hmm! You don't like it, I won't call you that then!" Lan Lie softened up, waa... who made him unable to beat this guy? Alas! He's from a disadvantaged group!"

  Leng Wudi nodded in satisfaction with Lan Lie's understanding.

  "By the way, nothing happened to you guys yesterday, right?" Lan Lie asked with concern as he found a spot to sit down.

  "We're fine, thank you for your concern." Lan Ruoxue replied calmly.

  "It's really strange to say that the Sun family would actually commit suicide, and they even stole a lot of our silver fish." Lan Lie continued, his handsome face full of doubt.

  "It's normal for someone who is afraid of punishment to commit suicide!" said Leng Ruoxue.

  "It is." Lan Lie thought for a moment and stopped entangling himself with this issue.

  "Lan Lie, we'll be leaving the day after tomorrow, thank you for your hospitality." said Cold Snow politely.

  "Alright! I'll go with you then. It's been a long time since I've returned to Blue Cloud City, might as well go back home and take a look." Lan Lie said with a smile.

  "Did I hear that wrong? You mean you want to go home?" Leng Wudi stared with wide eyes, somewhat disbelieving.

  "What did you mean by that? Can't I even think of home?" Lan Lie exclaimed loudly.

  "You will miss home, but it's unrealistic." said Cold without a care.

  He has known Lan Lie since childhood, and what kind of character Lan Lie is, he is clearer than anyone else. That guy has never liked staying at home since childhood, and as long as there is an opportunity, he wants to run away from home. Now, a person who likes to run away from home suddenly says he wants to go back home, isn't this more unbelievable than red rain falling from the sky?

  "Master!"

  Lan Lie hadn't had time to argue when the housekeeper suddenly appeared in 'Ning Xiu Garden' and whispered a few words into Lan Lie's ear.

  "What is she doing here? Let her go live in 'Hexin Garden'." Lan Lie said somewhat impatiently, and also gave Leng Wu Di a cold glance, thinking to himself that this man was truly a troublemaker!

  "Miss Five refused." The butler said with a helpless expression, the Lanz family was deeply impressed by Miss Five's willfulness, but they couldn't do anything about it. Alas! Who let Miss Five be so spoiled?

  "She has no choice but to agree, and she can't help it." Lan Lie said with some anger, humph! He had no way to deal with these people, could he still not handle a member of the Lan family?

  "The steward was somewhat embarrassed."

  "You tell her, either go live in 'Hexin Garden' or get out, just say I said so." Lan Lie said with a bad tone.

  "Alright then!" The butler gritted his teeth and went to find Fifth Miss.

  "What's wrong? Is there trouble?" asked Leng Wudi with a slight raise of his eyebrow.

  "There's nothing, just a fly flew in." Lan Lie said nonchalantly.

  "Seventh brother, how can you let someone else live in my courtyard!" Blue Lie's words had just fallen when the voice of Miss Blue, Blue Ning'er, came in, followed by a red-clothed girl who ran into the courtyard with anger and stood in front of Blue Lie to question him.

  "Is Miss Lan Ning'er interrogating me?" Lan Lie said with a seemingly amused tone, but despite his affable demeanor in front of Cold-as-Snow and the others, he was actually the unyielding and authoritative young master of the Lan family.

  "I... I'm Grandfather's most beloved granddaughter, how can you let someone else live in my place?" Lan Ning'er said with great displeasure, but her tone had unconsciously lowered a lot. After all, Lan Lie was the young master of the Lan family and the future head of the household. Even if Grandfather doted on her, if she were to provoke the heir of the Lan family, she might not have a good outcome. So, she didn't dare be too presumptuous in front of Lan Lie.

  "Where is your dwelling? Which one is yours?" Lan Lie said with a cold tone without even lifting his eyelids.

  "As soon as I arrived at the other courtyard, everyone knew that I was from 'Ning Xiu Garden'." Lan Ning Er said loudly, her eyes scanning the people in the courtyard with a hint of disdain. Hum! Except for Leng Gege, they were all ugly and unpleasant to look at, it was really infuriating! How could Lan Lie give her 'Ning Xiu Garden' to these ugly people? She was so angry about this!

  "What's it to you? They're friends of Young Master Ben, and if he wants them to stay somewhere, they'll stay there. You don't have the right to ask questions." Blue Lian said with a very dismissive tone.

  "You... Lan Lie, you have a big nerve! I'm Grandfather's most beloved granddaughter, and I'll tell him about this!" Blue Ning Er shouted furiously.

  "Off you go! I want to see how Grandfather will react when he finds out that his beloved granddaughter is yelling at the successor he chose. Don't think that just because Grandfather dotes on you, you can look down on anyone. Let me tell you, the young master of the Lan family is me! You're being so disrespectful to the young master, if this gets back to the Council of Elders, who knows what crime they'll charge you with?" Blue Lian said with great curiosity.

  "You... you just wait!" Lan Ning'er glared fiercely at Lan Lie, turned around and stormed off.

  "It's indeed just a troublesome fly." Lan Wai said calmly after seeing Blue Ning'er leave.

  "You two scoundrels, actually calling the number one beauty of the Kunlun Continent a fly. If her admirers were to find out, they'd drown you with just their saliva." Lan Meng couldn't help but tease.

  "Who dares!" The two of them said in unison, and then they exchanged a knowing glance and smiled at each other, with everything understood without needing to be said.

  "Alas! Men are a calamity!" Leng Ruoxue exclaimed, gazing at the demon with a sudden sense of melancholy.

  "Xuě er!" The demon looked at Leng Ruoxue with a wronged expression. How could Xuěr say such things to him? Apart from Xuěr, he was ruthless and merciless to any other woman. Hmm, he must have been implicated by these few people. He glanced at Lan Ming and the others. Now, only these three had the potential to be a calamity.

  "Xiao Xue!" Lan Meng also looked at Leng Ruo Xue with a wronged expression, thinking to himself, the real troublemakers are you two, why do you have to frame him?!

  "He's the one who attracts flies and mosquitoes, I'm just a sentimental doll." Lan Lie pointed at Leng Wu Di, completely clearing himself of any wrongdoing.

  "So Cold Master is actually smelly? No wonder he only attracts flies and mosquitoes." Leng Ruo Xue teased with a smile.

  “……”

  Leng Wudi's head was covered in black lines, speechless. He really couldn't understand why he, a talented and handsome man, had become so odious in Leng Ruo Xue's eyes? And besides, attracting some flies and mosquitoes wasn't his fault either! Woe...he was so wronged!

  "He's long been rotten." Lan Lie added fuel to the fire fearlessly.

  "Are you looking for death?!" Leng Wudi's anger flared up, he stood up and launched an attack at Lan Lie...

  "Ah, Leng Wudi is furious and wants to kill someone! Help!" Lan Lie dodged Leng Wudi's attack and shouted loudly as he started a fight with him.

  And so, the two of them staged a big chase in the garden, you chasing me and I chasing you...
