Chapter 184: Freak Revealing His Might (4)

After the Xu, Shui, and Ye families disappeared overnight, the Huo family took advantage of the situation and occupied all the shops and businesses of the three families.
However, the Feng family, which was also a top family, didn’t do anything, making people puzzled.

The main residence of the Feng family…

“First Elder, someone came to ask me why we didn’t take the opportunity to devour the shops of the three Great Families like the Huo family did,” an elder said helplessly in the meeting room.
During this period of time, people asked him this question every day.

“How did you reply?” the first elder of the Feng family said indifferently with his eyes half-closed.

“I said, our Feng family is short on manpower, and there are too many things to take care of in our businesses,” the elder replied seriously.

“Good.
When anyone asks about this in the future, all of you will say so.” The first elder finalized a unified statement. Hmph, those three Great Families are basically empty shells.
What’s the use of them? Moreover, Xu Xing’s whereabouts are still unknown.
At this time, whoever takes the lead will become Xu Xing’s first target for revenge.

In the garden of General Leng’s mansion…

“Xue’er, what are you thinking about?” Freak asked curiously.
Xue’er had been preoccupied with her thoughts for the past few days.

“I’m thinking about Xu Xing,” Leng Ruoxue said lightly as she leaned against him.

“Why are you thinking about that old thing? Don’t think about him.
You can only think about me!” Freak said with a displeased face. An old bastard actually dares to let Xue’er think about him.
Hmph! He’s really courting death!

“What nonsense are you spouting? I’m thinking about where Xu Xing is hiding.
The Ling Feng Continent is so big that it’s really not easy to find someone!”

Thinking of this, Leng Ruoxue felt a little depressed.
She had already released the news that whoever found Xu Xing’s traces would be heavily rewarded, but there had been no news of him until now.
Moreover, for some reason, her heart had been feeling a little unsettled recently, as if something was about to happen.
She didn’t like this feeling, so it was better to find Xu Xing as soon as possible! This way, everyone could be at ease.

“Xue’er, this kind of thing can’t be rushed.
Didn’t we already entrust ‘Hell’ and the Mercenary Union to find his whereabouts?” Freak comforted.
He didn’t want Xue’er to worry over such a trivial matter.

“I wonder if Hell can find him,” Leng Ruoxue said with uncertainty.

‘Hell’ was a mysterious intelligence organization that had appeared out of thin air on the Ling Feng Continent more than a decade ago.
It specialized in selling all sorts of intelligence and claimed that ‘there are things only you can’t think of; there’s nothing we don’t know’.
But it had been so many days, and there was no news from Hell at all.
She didn’t know if this counted as ruining its own reputation?

“If even Hell can’t find him, then others won’t be able to either,” Freak said very firmly.

“Then let’s wait.
I hope they won’t disappoint me.”

“Xue’er, the patriarch and the first elder Huo family are here.” While Leng Ruoxue was chatting with Freak, Leng Ruohan walked in from outside the garden to their side.

“What are they doing here?” Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement.
They didn’t have much of a relationship.

“I don’t know.
They refused to tell me,” Leng Ruohan said helplessly.
He understood Xue’er’s temper very well.
He knew that the Huo family had already offended his precious sister, so Xue’er didn’t want to meet them at all.
But their grandfather wanted him to come, so he had to come!

“Freak, let’s go to the palace to see Big Sister Mo!” Leng Ruoxue turned to Freak and suggested.
She was not in the mood to see the Huo family now.
She had even turned away Huo Qing, let alone others!

“Okay.” Freak nodded in agreement.

“Quill, take us to the palace.” Leng Ruoxue let Quill out.
Then she and Freak jumped onto Quill’s back.

“Yes, Master,” Quill replied.
He flapped his wings and soared into the sky.
With a whoosh, he instantly transformed into a small black dot.

Looking at his willful baby sister, Leng Ruohan shook his head helplessly and left the garden to report to his grandfather.

In a side palace of the Eastern Lagoon Empire’s imperial palace…

“Little girl, why do you have time to see this old man today?” the old man, who was tending to the flowers and plants with his head lowered, asked curiously.

“The Huo family came to my house, so I had to hide,” Leng Ruoxue said bluntly while sitting on a stone bench by the garden and leaning against Freak.
She originally wanted to go to Big Sister Mo’s place, but Li Yuan was there.
She didn’t want to be a third wheel, so she had to come to the old man’s place.

“So my place has become your refuge?” The old man glared at her with slight displeasure. This girl is really infuriating.
She’s finally come to see me, but she didn’t come specially to coax me! The old man complained in his head.

“Not every place can become my refuge,” Leng Ruoxue said lightly while looking at the old man who liked to throw tantrums.

“Well, that’s true,” the old man agreed.

“By the way, little girl, is there any news about that old thing Xu Xing?” the old man continued asking.
But he didn’t stop what he was doing as he carefully and cautiously moved his beloved flowers and plants to another place to replant them.

“Not yet.
Ask Li Yuan and the others to keep a low profile so as not to attract trouble,” Leng Ruoxue reminded.
With the Huo family making such a big fuss, they would definitely not be able to escape when Xu Xing came for revenge.
After all, one was in the open, while the other was in the dark.
It would be too easy for Xu Xing to take revenge.

“Don’t worry.
I told them long ago.” The old man was still very assured about Li Yuan, a more sensible descendant.
This was also the main reason why he didn’t stop Leng Ruoxue and the others from usurping the throne.

“Old man, we’ll be going first.
Be careful.” Leng Ruoxue looked at the sky and felt that it was about time, so she stood up and prepared to leave.

“Go!” The old man waved at the two people who had already sat on the black eagle.
Then he lowered his head and continued with his work.

After a short while, Leng Ruoxue and Freak returned to the general’s mansion.

When she got down from Quill’s back, she happened to meet the steward.

“Steward, has the Huo family left?” Leng Ruoxue asked.

“They left a long time ago.
Miss, why did you only return now? Old Master was so worried!” The steward kept nagging.
