Chapter Twenty-Two: Departure Without Farewell

  Leng Ruo Xue and others helplessly looked at each other, while Lan Lie and Leng Wu Di, who were chasing and hitting each other like little kids, returned to their own rooms, leaving the entire garden to them.

  The two of them had been chasing and hitting each other for a long time, and were so exhausted that they lay down directly on the grass. However, when they looked up, they found that everyone was gone, and the large garden was left with only the two of them.

  "Huh? When did they leave? Waaa... My little Ice!" Blue Lie cried out in exaggerated grief.

  "Don't cry like a woman, that's not your Little Ice." Leng Wudi said bluntly, he was really helpless towards his good friend who loved to daydream.

  "Ugh..." Lan Lie wailed even more sorrowfully, wasn't his enemy pouring salt on his wound?!

  "You can cry slowly! I'm going home." Leng Wudi stood up, patted the dust off his body, and turned to leave Ning Xiu Garden.

  After a moment, Lan Lie saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he also stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and turned around to leave.

  The two days passed quickly.

  For the past two days, Leng Ruo Xue and others have been telling Lan Meng that they want to cultivate, so they almost never leave their homes. In fact, they are doing this to avoid conflicts with some members of the Lan family, and for these two days, they have all been staying in Leng Ruo Xue's ring.

  In the room as cold as snow.

  "Haha! Xue'er, today we're finally leaving the Blue family!" Leng Qingtian said with a smile. For the past two days, that Miss Lan Ning had been trying to find trouble for them, but unfortunately, they had closed themselves off and refused to see anyone, so Lan Ning was blocked by Lan Ming every time.

  "Grandpa, let's set off now!" said Leng Ruoxue. She had already spoken with Lan Meng and planned to leave early today, so they decided to depart while it was still dark.

  "Girl, we've already packed up long ago. Actually, there's nothing much to pack." The old man said, their things were all placed in the girl's space, and there was almost nothing outside.

  "Let's go!" Leng Ruo Xue said, glancing around at everyone.

  "Hmm." Everyone nodded and left the house.

  When they arrived at the garden, Lan Meng was already waiting there.

  "Shall we go?" Lan Meng asked as he approached Leng Ruo Xue and the others.

  "Let's go!" Leng Ruoxue nodded and said.

  Leng Ruo Xue finished speaking and then Lan Meng took them away from the Blue Mansion Villa, heading towards Blue Cloud City.

  Half a month later.

  Leng Ruo Xue and others arrived in Yang City.

  Yang City is a medium-sized city on the continent of Haotian, and it is also a must-pass route to Blue Cloud City. At the same time, it is also one of the subordinate cities of the Blue family, so Yang City can be said to be quite prosperous.

  After entering Yang City, as they walked on the streets of Yang City, Leng Ruoxue and others found that the pedestrians on the street were looking at them with surprised eyes, as if they had seen some kind of treasure.

  "Little Blue, have you noticed that the eyes of the people on the street seem a bit strange?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some suspicion.

  "Hmm! Calm down, I guess they've never seen anyone as ugly as you before." Lan Meng guessed, a drop of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

  "Hmm! Possible." The old man nodded in agreement, on this road, although they were walking on small paths, however, among the people they met, there weren't any that looked too bad.

  "Xiaoxue, let's stay here for the night!" Lan Meng said, leading everyone to the entrance of an inn.

  "It doesn't matter where we live." Lan Ruoxue said calmly, although what Blue Ming said might be a factor, she still felt that something was off.

  Lan Meng saw that everyone had no opinion, so he led them directly into the hotel, booked a room and then each returned to their own room to rest.

  After entering the room, Leng Ruoxue took Yougui directly into the boudoir.

  In the bangle.

  "Little Snow, where are you?" asked Bing Ji, who had been sleeping in the carriage since they set out, with some curiosity.

  "We've arrived at Goat City." said Leng Ruoxue.

  "Oh! At your current speed, it'll take at least half a month to reach Blue Cloud City." Bing Qi tilted his little head and said after some thought.

  "Hmm, no rush, the Medicine Exchange Conference is still twenty days away!" Leng Ruoxue stroked the soft fur on Bing Ji's head and chuckled.

  "Little Snow, I'll be leaving Blue Cloud City." Ice Ky said, he really didn't like rushing.

  "Good." Leng Ruoxue nodded slightly.

  "Sister, someone is knocking at the door outside." At this time, Qing Jue appeared in front of Leng Ruo Xue and reminded her.

  "I'll go take a look." Leng Ruoxue said, and with that, she turned her mind around and left the courtyard.

  After returning to her room, Leng Ruoxue opened the door, only to find several uninvited guests standing outside.

  "It's you." Lan Ruoxue said calmly, but couldn't help but let out a soft sigh in her heart, alas! How did they catch up?!

  "What? You don't want to see us?" Lan Lie said in a bad mood. These bad people actually sneaked away without saying goodbye while he was still half asleep, waa... He was abandoned by Xiao Bing!

  "It's not that I don't want to!" Leng Ruo Xue said honestly, looking at the three uniquely handsome men in front of her. She was already getting a headache, and with Lan Meng being one calamity, if she added these three, it would be an absolute great calamity!

  “……”

  Leng Ruo Xue's words caused each of the three people to break out in a cold sweat.

  "You're really sincere." Leng Wudi said with some melancholy, sigh! Having lived for over 20 years, he only found out today that he was actually so unpopular, waa... even the strong-hearted him felt heartbroken!

  "Thank you for the compliment." Leng Ruoxue said with a smile.

  "I'm here to challenge your man." Sun Teng said coolly, implying that he was different from the other two.

  "A challenge? If you have patience, just wait for him to advance to Xuan Wang. He's busy now." Leng Ruoxue said coldly, although this Sun Teng was not like those annoying Sun family members, but she still didn't want to have any contact with the Sun family.

  "I can control my cultivation at the level of a primary Xuan Master." Sun Teng said somewhat impatiently.

  "No way, after all you are the Dark King. What if you can't afford to lose and use your power as the Dark King against my man?" Cold Snow clearly didn't believe him.

  "Hmm! I'm not so shameless, okay?" Sun Teng explained with a dark face.

  "Sorry, I've heard that the Sun family's credit has always been bad, so I don't believe you." Leng Ruo Xue said calmly and lightly, not putting Sun Teng's anger in her eyes at all.

  "Sun Teng was left speechless by Leng Ruo Xue's icy demeanor."

  "Haha!" Seeing Sun Teng being outsmarted, Lan Lie burst into hearty laughter, heh heh, still, Leng Xue was formidable, enough to make one's blood boil! He felt more balanced in his heart now.

  "Haha! You're going to laugh yourself to death!" Sun Teng roared in anger.

  "You can laugh slowly, and after you're done laughing, please leave on your own. I won't see you out," said Leng Ruoxue, before slamming the door shut with a 'bang', trapping the three of them outside.

  "Huh!" The three of them stared at the tightly closed door, stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, all of them bewildered. When had they offended Leng Ruo Xue? Why were they so unwelcome?

  "It's definitely because of your relationship that the Sun family wants to kill her, so we're all being dragged down by you." Lan Lie looked at Sun Teng, pushing all the blame onto him.

  "What's it got to do with me? The Sun family is the Sun family, and I am me!" Sun Teng felt wronged. He just wanted to find that Ye Chen to spar with, why was it so difficult?

  "It's very likely." Leng Wu Yun also looked at Sun Teng with a thoughtful expression, his mind racing with thoughts.

  "Hmph! It's not necessarily me, you know! Maybe it's you instead! I've never seen Cold Snow give you a good face either!" Sun Teng said lightly, casting a glance at Leng Wu Di.

  "What? How is that possible! I haven't offended her in any way." Leng Wudi didn't think it was because of himself, so they weren't welcome.

  In this way, the three handsome men who made all the women on the vast continent of Haotian infatuated stood at the door of Leng Ruoxue's room, accusing each other...

  The next morning.

  Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jie opened the door, just about to leave, but found that the doorway was blocked by someone...

  "What are you doing sleeping here!" Leng Ruo Xue kicked the three people who were blocking her bedroom door with her foot, saying somewhat helplessly.

  "Ah! How did we fall asleep?" Lan Lie rubbed his eyes and yawned.

  "You're blocking the way." Leng Ruoxue said calmly, who knows how you guys fell asleep!

  "Huh? Are we leaving?" Lan Lie hurriedly got up from the ground, asking as he kicked the other two people a few times with his foot. In his heart, he couldn't stop grumbling - how could these two sleep like dead pigs? He was already awake, but these two were still not awake.

  "What's wrong?" asked Leng Wudi, opening his eyes first.

  "Huh? How come it's already bright outside?" Sun Teng also opened his somewhat dazed eyes and asked foolishly.

  "It's already the second day, three young masters." Leng Ruoxue said somewhat helplessly, it seemed that these two were really sleep-addled, sigh! Didn't they fear encountering bad people? They actually slept so soundly.

  "Oh, then let's set off!" Leng Wudi finally came to his senses and said.

  Cold as snow, helplessly locked eyes with the demon, then dragged the demon straight to the cafeteria.

  In the restaurant, Leng Qingtian and others had already ordered breakfast and were sitting in their chairs waiting for them.

  "Grandfather." Leng Ruoxue and Yao Jiao found a place to sit down, still looking helpless on their faces.

  "What's wrong?" Leng Qingtian asked, noticing that his granddaughter's expression was somewhat unnatural.

  "Three uninvited guests have arrived." Leng Ruoxue sighed and explained.

  Just then, the three of them also walked into the dining hall and sat down at the table closest to Leng Ruoxue and the others.

  "Little uncle, you're really too much. How can you abandon me?" Lan Lie saw Lan Ming and tearfully accused with extreme grievance.

  "Haven't you found us already?" Lan Meng said with some helplessness.

  "Hmm, fortunately I'm clever and put up your wanted posters on the bulletin board. Otherwise, you would have escaped again." Lan Lie said with some complacency.

  "No wonder that after we entered the city, people on the street saw us and looked at us as if they had seen money. It turns out that it was all your doing!" Lan Ruo Xue suddenly realized and said.

  "Hey, but you guys are really slow, we've been here for several days already." Lan Lie complained, this Sheep City is a must-pass place to go to Blue Cloud City, so they decided to wait here.

  "We're not in a hurry, why rush? Let's take our time and enjoy the scenery of the vast continent along the way. Isn't that better?" said Leng Ruoxue nonchalantly. In fact, for the past half month, they had been taking smaller roads more often. However, unfortunately, they hadn't encountered any bandits again.

  "The scenery on the road can't compare to Blue Cloud City! Let's hurry up and go to Blue Cloud City to appreciate the beautiful view!" Lan Lie said somewhat urgently.

  "Lan Shaozhu can leave first if he's in a hurry. He doesn't have to stay with us," suggested Leng Ruoxue.

  "No rush, I'm not in a hurry." Lan Lie hastily said, anyway, he had made up his mind, no matter what Leng Ruoxue said, he would stick to them, wooo... Little Bingbing, it's all for you that I'm humiliating myself like this!

  "Then let's get going! However, on the road, you have to listen to me." Leng Ruoxue said, since they couldn't shake them off, it was better to travel together, lest they cause any more trouble. She didn't want to become famous to the point where everyone knew her name just yet.

  "Mmm." Upon hearing what Bingshuang said, Lanlie's eyes lit up and he nodded enthusiastically like a small dog.

  After finishing breakfast, everyone was preparing to set off, but who knew that another uninvited guest had arrived, Miss Lan Wu of the Blue family, Lan Ning'er.

  Leng Ruo Xue looked at Lan Ning Er, who was only a fleeting acquaintance. She saw that she wore a bright red dress, with beautiful features and skin as white as snow. Her temperament had an air of unattainable nobility, and apart from her arrogant and overbearing personality being not very likable, this girl was indeed a rare beauty to behold.

  At the entrance of the hotel, Lan Ning'er ignored everyone's presence and ran straight to Leng Wudi.

  "Brother Leng, what a coincidence! Are you guys leaving? Let's hit the road together!" Lan Ning'er said with great enthusiasm, her face showing a shy and tender expression like that of a young girl in love.

  "We're moving slowly, you're not quite suitable as a young lady." Leng Wudi slightly furrowed his brow and politely declined. He didn't want to bring such a delicate beauty on the road with him; in his opinion, women were all trouble.

  "It doesn't matter, I don't mind. Who made us meet so coincidentally?" Lan Ning'er said with a sweet smile on her face.

  "What a coincidence!" Lan Lie sneered with a smile that was not quite aI apologize, here is the revised translation:

  "What a coincidence!" Lan Lie said mockingly. Humph! Coincidence? Who would believe it? They're not three-year-old kids, are they so easily deceived?

  "Seventh brother, you're here too!" Lan Ning'er feigned surprise as if she had just seen Lan Lie, her face full of astonishment.

  "Have I been here all along? Don't you know?" Lan Lie said irritably.

  "Oh! Sorry, I didn't see Seventh Brother." Lan Ning'er said with a guilty expression.

  "It's my honor." Lan Lie said faintly, humph! Who'd want to be seen by her? Whoever gets noticed by her is doomed! And now that poor guy, obviously, was Leng Wudi.

  "Let's go!" Leng Ruoxue said, not wanting to see them bicker.

  After finishing speaking, everyone left the hotel in a very tacit understanding and walked towards the city, while Lan Lie and his two companions hurriedly followed the team.

  "You won't be so poor that you don't even have a flying beast, will you? How can we just walk?" Blue Ning'er complained as she followed behind Leng Ruo Xue and the others.

  "Exercise is good for your health, if Miss Lan can't walk anymore, then just go first!" said Leng Ruo Xue calmly.

  "You...do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that?" Lan Ning Er shouted angrily.

  "Miss Lan, it seems we didn't invite you to join us on this journey! If you can't take it anymore, you can leave first. However, if you insist on following, then you must listen to me. As for who you are, I'm not interested." Leng Ruoxue said bluntly, she hated people who bullied others the most, regardless of whether they were male or female, and this Miss Lan from the Lan family had obviously entered her blacklist.

  "You... you dare to treat me like this, the Lan family will not let you off." Lan Ning Er threatened, her anger distorting that stunningly beautiful face.

  "Are you threatening me?" Leng Ruoxue said with a smile that was not quite a smile, her eyes releasing a sharp and intimidating cold light!

  "I... I am the fifth miss of the Lan family, the most favored one!" Blue Ning Er was frightened by the cold intent emanating from Cold Ruo Xue's eyes and stuttered.

  "What's it to me?" said Leng Ruoxue indifferently.

  "Take care of her, don't get in my way." Leng Ruoxue turned her gaze to Lan Lie again, warning him with a hint of displeasure.

  "Haha! If you dare to fix her, I guarantee nothing will happen." Lan Lie said with a somewhat mischievous tone.

  "Oh! Isn't she your sister?" Lan Ruoxue's forehead was filled with black lines as she thought to herself, what kind of brother is this?!

  "She didn't come out of my mother's womb, I don't acknowledge her." In Lan Lie's heart, only those with the same father and mother would be recognized by him. Others could only be considered relatives. If this relative respected him, he might even give that person a good face. But someone like Lan Ning'er who was so arrogant? Forget it, he really didn't want such a sister.

  "Seventh brother... you!" Lan Ning'er was extremely wronged, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Lan Lie, then she threw herself into the arms of Leng Wuji beside him, seeking comfort.

  However, Leng Wudi didn't want this opportunity to comfort the beauty at all, and lightly dodged it, leaving this rare chance to the cold earth.

  "Hmph!" Lan Lie looked at the stunning beauty who had fallen into a sorry state and burst out laughing in a most unflattering manner...

  "Brother Leng, how could you?... Waaah..." Lan Ning'er couldn't help herself and directly fell to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

  "Miss, get up quickly! The ground is cold!" The maid beside Lan Ning'er came forward to help her up, but Lan Ning'er refused to get up no matter what.

  "Master Leng, please advise our young mistress! She listens to you the most." The maid had no choice but to seek help from Cold Wudi, but unfortunately, he pretended not to hear, as if he hadn't heard anything.

  "If she likes the land so much, then let her stay there. I'll go back and tell Grandfather that his beloved granddaughter has fallen in love with a piece of land. And I'll also suggest to Grandfather that he marry her off to that piece of land." Lan Lie said seriously. Humph! Thinking of playing tricks in front of them, do they think they're all idiots? Those who can become the young master's partner aren't those who have gone through thousands of trials and tribulations? If they were easily deceived by a woman's small trick, then they wouldn't be able to mix in the future.

  "Haha! Xiao Lie, your idea isn't bad!" Old Zhao couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing Lan Lie's words. Heh heh, this kid from the Lan family is quite interesting, and his words are sharp enough! He likes it.

  "Lan Lie, you dare!" Lan Ning'er heard Lan Lie's words and could no longer pretend to be calm. She quickly scrambled up from the ground, although it was very embarrassing to have fallen down, but that was still better than letting Lan Lie go back and spread rumors!

  "What's there to be afraid of? Little Snow, you see this, does a woman like this have the qualifications to be my sister?" Lan Lie asked somewhat disbelievingly.

  "Let's keep going!" Leng Ruoxue said, suppressing her smile, without answering his question. However, she thought that this Lan Lie was somewhat interesting, hmm! Maybe she didn't have to be so repelled by him after all.

  "Good." The crowd nodded and continued walking forward.

  Lan Ning'er called out "Ge Ge" several times, but didn't get any response, so she thickened her skin and followed him.

  "Girl, let's set up camp here for the night!" The old man suggested after walking for almost a day and seeing that it was getting late.

  "Hmm." Cold as snow nodded, everyone stopped in their tracks, and together they set up the tent, then began preparing dinner.

  Lan Ning'er directly sat down on a rock and began to rest.

  "I want this tent!" After resting enough, Lan Ning went around the tents and finally chose one that satisfied her the most, planning to stay in it tonight.

  "Sorry, Miss Lan, I'd like to pitch my own tent." Leng Ruoxue said without even bothering to look at her.

  "What do you mean? Do I have to do this rough work myself?" Blue Ning Er shouted in disbelief, her beautiful eyes wide with anger.

  "Miss Lan, haven't you heard that one must work with their own hands to have enough food and clothing? You not only need to set up your own tent but also get your own food." Cold Snow reminded.

  "You...you're saying it again?" Lan Ning Er shouted, her face turning green with rage. How could this be? It shouldn't be like this! This was completely different from what she had thought. Originally, she had assumed that with her status, these people would treat her as a honored guest and take good care of her, so she only left one maid by her side and dismissed the guards. But unexpectedly, she actually received such treatment. She was the fifth miss of the Lan family, the most favored one! How could they let her do such menial tasks? She just couldn't understand!

  "I say, you have to take matters into your own hands. If you can't bear the hardship, it's better to leave early." said Leng Ruoxue with a somewhat cold tone.

  "You..." Lan Ning Er pointed at Leng Ruoxue for half a day, but didn't say a complete sentence, obviously, she had already been angered to no end.

  "Brother Leng, this ugly monster is bullying me." Lan Ning'er turned her head towards Leng Wu Di, seeking protection.

  "If you don't want to sleep outdoors, hurry up and set up the tent!" Leng Wudi said calmly. If it weren't for the good relationship between the Leng and Lan families, he wouldn't have bothered with this woman at all!

  "Wow, it smells so good!" At this time, Lan Lie's exclamation came, he had already picked up a piece of roasted meat and was devouring it with relish.

  "Heh heh, the early bird gets the worm, the lazy bird doesn't get to eat, and the lazy bird has no place to sleep!" As they ate, Lan Lie still hummed a tune with a mischievous glee...

  Looking at Lan Lie's excited expression, Leng Ruoxue's forehead dripped with two drops of cold sweat, thinking to herself, just how much do you dislike this relative?! You're actually so happy!

  Everyone gathered around the bonfire, happily eating delicious roasted meat. However, Lan Ning and her servant's hearts were not so comfortable.

  "Miss, what should we do?" Lan Ning'er's maid asked somewhat at a loss, her stomach growling with hunger.

  "Go pitch the tent, does it need to be asked?" Lan Ning Er shouted angrily.

  "But... but..." The maid hesitated, unable to speak out.

  "What's wrong?" Lan Ning'er said somewhat impatiently, her heart now burning with anger!

  "We didn't bring a tent." The maid said in a low, fearful voice. Miss never slept outdoors when she went out, so they simply didn't have the habit of bringing a tent... Uh, this time she's done for.

  "What did you say?" Lan Ning'er thought she had misheard and asked with some disbelief.

  "I said... we didn't bring a tent." The maid whispered.

  "Then where will we sleep tonight?" Lan Ning'er was stunned, she even forgot to be angry, all she could remember now was that she couldn't sleep outside, she was the most pampered Fifth Miss of the Lan family, and Cold Brother was still around!

  And then there's Leng Gege, he definitely wouldn't bear to see a beautiful woman like herself without a place to sleep, heh heh, thinking of this, she suddenly became happy and even felt lucky that she hadn't brought a tent, otherwise how would she have an excuse to get close to Leng Gege? She had already started daydreaming...

  Leng Ruo Xue and the others finished their meal, then directly went back to their tent to sleep. Outside, only Lan Lie, Leng Wu Di, and Sun Teng were left to keep watch at night.

  "Brother Leng." Lan Ning'er saw that everyone had left, so she walked to the front of Leng Wudi and called out softly, her beautiful eyes fluttering with allure.

  "What's wrong?" Cold Wudi slightly raised his sword eyebrow, pretending to be silly, but in fact, they all knew what Lan Ning'er was up to, they were just pretending to be silly.

  "Leng Gege, I came out in a hurry and didn't bring a tent. Can you..." Lan Ning'er said half of the sentence on purpose, leaving the rest unspoken!

  "Do you want to borrow a tent?" asked Leng Wudi calmly.

  "If it's convenient, we can..." Lan Ning'er said with a blush, actually she wanted to say "We can squeeze together."

  "Alright, you guys go ahead and rest! I'll keep watch tonight." Lan Wudi said with a hint of disdain. If they let a woman like her sleep outdoors, who knows what kind of trouble she would get them into when she returned to the Blue family?

  "Thank you, Brother Leng." Lan Ning's absolutely beautiful face was filled with gratitude, but in her heart, she felt a little disappointed. Alas! Why didn't Brother Leng understand? Wasn't her hint obvious enough?

  Lan Ning'er thanked him and then very obediently led her maid into Leng Wudi's tent.

  "You're really a good person." Lan Lie said with some discontented muttering.

  "Do you want her to go back and report? I don't care, but Cold Snow and the others might not be so lucky!" Cold said calmly.

  "Hmph! You're right." Lan Lie coldly snorted and said with a gloomy tone, then fell silent.

  The next morning.

  Leng Ruo Xue and others woke up, had a simple breakfast, and continued on their journey...
