Soon, three old men and the numerous spiritual beasts worked together to kill the enemy Spiritual Supremacies instantly, and there weren’t even any corpses left…
“Old man, how did you meet the men in black? Did the matter with the Fu family not succeed?” Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement.
“It was a success. After we gained control of the Fu family, we somehow alerted these men in black. We didn’t even know where they came from before we started fighting. Fortunately, you came in time, or the news would have definitely leaked,” the old man said worriedly. How dangerous!
“We also encountered men in black.” Leng Qingtian looked at the old man sympathetically.
“You encountered them too? Then you’re really fast,” the old man said enviously. He was the only Spiritual Supremacy on his side, and he had to take care of Li Yuan, so fighting had been a little difficult.
“We didn’t meet as many men in black as you,” Lin Liang explained.
“Actually, we once killed a man in black before the Academy Competition.” Leng Ruoxue glanced at them and explained to them about the encounter with the man in black that day.
“Does this mean that these men in black have been sneaking into the Eastern Lagoon Empire for some time? It’s just that we didn’t realize it all along!” the old man said worriedly. Although these men in black were death warriors, they had their own thoughts, so they were difficult to deal with.
“I think these people are here to deal with me, but they treated the residences of the Fu and Chen families as temporary accommodations,” Leng Ruoxue analyzed. It seemed like she needed to go to the Southern Dusk Empire again.
“Then the Mo family…” The old man looked at Mo Yingyue and stopped speaking.
Leng Ruoxue frowned and guessed after thinking, “Not at the Mo family. I guess they don’t trust the Mo family yet.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Everyone, tonight’s business is over. Let’s go back first!” Leng Qingtian said when he saw that it was almost dawn.
“Let’s go back!”
Then everyone left the Fu family mansion.
After returning to the general’s mansion, Leng Ruoxue and the others went straight to their rooms to rest.
…
After waking up the next morning, Leng Ruoxue went to look for her grandfather. She discussed the matter with him in detail and then went to the Southern Dusk Empire with Freak.
After they arrived at the Southern Dusk Empire, Leng Ruoxue and Freak went straight to the palace to meet the emperor.
In the imperial study…
Sitting on the dragon throne, Huangfu Zhen was deep in thought about what Leng Ruoxue just said. The empress was sitting next to him, also deep in thought…
Meanwhile, after Leng Ruoxue and Freak finished speaking, they were resting on chairs while having tea and snacks.
“Ruoxue, have you settled everything in the Eastern Lagoon Empire?” Huangfu Zhen asked with a frown after some thought. The Eastern Lagoon Empire really acted fast.
“Yes, that’s why I came specially to help you,” Leng Ruoxue said after taking a sip of tea. If not for the appearance of the men in black, she probably wouldn’t have thought of coming to the Southern Dusk Empire to help them.
“Then when do we start?” Huangfu Zhen asked. He had endured the Xu family for many years and had long wanted to take action. But he didn’t dare to act rashly before he was absolutely confident.
“The day after tomorrow. I want to visit the Huo family tomorrow,” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. There had been no news from the Huo family since she sent the news out, so she wanted to confirm it in person. It would be best if she could rope the Huo family in. But if the Huo family wanted to become enemies with her, she didn’t care.
“Okay, the day after tomorrow then. I’ll get someone to arrange a place for you to stay,” Huangfu Zhen said warmly. The matter that had been weighing on his mind for so many years was about to be resolved, and he felt much more relaxed.
“Thank you for your kind intentions, Your Majesty. Our current inn is fine,” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile. She was afraid that the news would leak if she stayed in the palace. What if the Xu family’s spies found out? Wouldn’t the Xu family be on their guard?
“Your Majesty, we will take our leave first,” Leng Ruoxue continued and then left the imperial palace with Freak.
After returning to the inn, Freak followed Leng Ruoxue directly into her room.
“Xue’er, are we really going to the Huo family tomorrow?” he couldn’t help asking after they sat down. He didn’t want to go to the Huo family…
“What do you mean by that? We will save a lot of effort if we can pull them to our side. They are the first Great Family, and their strength can’t be underestimated after all,” Leng Ruoxue explained.
“But…” Freak was very unwilling.
“Why? Are you still thinking about what happened last time? No one knows that we did it. What are you afraid of?” Leng Ruoxue teased softly. Freak is really too cute.
“I’m not afraid!” Freak quickly denied with a slightly awkward expression. How could he be afraid of such a small thing? He just didn’t want to have anything to do with the Huo family. That damn Huo Qing was always eyeing his Xue’er so covetously.
“Since you’re not afraid, rest early today. We’ll go see the Huo family tomorrow morning.” Leng Ruoxue didn’t expose him. She only smiled slightly and struck while the iron was hot.
Freak nodded and then returned to his room to rest very consciously.
The next morning, Leng Ruoxue woke up, washed up, and went to find Freak. After breakfast, they went straight to the Huo family’s main residence.
In the main hall of the Huo family residence…
Huo Yi sat on the patriarch’s seat, and the elders of the Huo family sat on both sides of him.
“Patriarch, it’s best for us to decide early on this matter,” the first elder sitting below Huo Yi urged anxiously. If they waited for the Xu family to finish making preparations, it would probably be difficult to deal with them.
“Yes! First Elder is right,” one of the elders echoed.
“Patriarch, I think it’s best for our four families to discuss this together. Otherwise, if we’re the only ones standing against the Xu family, and both our families suffer an internecine outcome, wouldn’t it be letting others benefit?” another elder said in disapproval.
Sitting in the main seat, Huo Yi did not say a word and listened to the elders’ discussion expressionlessly. The Huo family could now be said to be divided into two factions because of this matter. One faction was led by the first elder and was in favor of striking first to gain the upper hand. The other faction was led by his younger brother and didn’t agree to deal with the Xu family now.
