Chapter 116: We Didn’t Do Anything (3)

Leng Ruoxue gathered her fire-attribute spiritual power in her hand and waved it at the block of ice.
After a few minutes, it melted…

The man in black was wet and trembling non-stop.
At this moment, the two spiritual powers of fire and ice were fighting in the man in black’s body, both wanting to obtain the upper hand…

Leng Qingtian stepped forward and pulled down the mask on the man in black’s face.
Then he was stunned…

“Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Leng Ruoxue asked doubtfully after seeing her grandfather’s reaction.

“Nothing,” Leng Qingtian said quickly after coming back to his senses. How can they be so alike? But no matter how alike they are, a fake is still a fake.

“Xue’er, what happened?” Leng Ruohan hurried in.

“It’s okay.
Big Brother doesn’t have to worry,” Leng Ruoxue hurriedly comforted.
She had actually startled her brother.

“That’s good.” Leng Ruohan turned his head and saw the black-clothed man’s face.
He couldn’t help exclaiming, “Dad!”

Leng Ruohan’s address of ‘dad’ attracted everyone’s attention.

“Big Brother, what did you call him?” Leng Ruoxue thought she had heard wrong.
But after seeing the others’ reactions, she was sure that she hadn’t heard wrong.

“It’s nothing.
I saw wrong, but this man resembles Dad,” Leng Ruohan explained.

“Who are you?” Leng Ruoxue asked the man in black, whose face was alternating between red and white.
This man in black was about 40 years old, good-looking, and indeed resembled her brother in some ways. No wonder Big Brother was mistaken.
Grandpa must have thought that he was his son just now too!

“I’m the one who came to take your life.” The man in black looked at Leng Ruoxue with eyes full of hatred.

“You? If I’m not mistaken, Noble Consort Xu sent you!” Leng Ruoxue said with certainty.
Probably no one else other than Noble Consort Xu would command an advanced Spiritual Sovereign to be an assassin.
Moreover, this man resembled her father so much.

“No, I don’t know any Noble Consort Xu,” the man in black denied.

“Whether you admit it or not isn’t important to me.
Since Noble Consort Xu was willing to send you here, I’m sure you’re just an unimportant substitute for her,” Leng Ruoxue said with some pity.

“I’m not a substitute! I’m not a substitute!” the man in black roared furiously.

“I know no one is willing to be someone else’s substitute, but you’re doing it willingly.
Who can you blame?” Leng Ruoxue continued to provoke him.

“I said I’m not a substitute,” the man in black yelled, somewhat emotionally unstable.

“Grandpa, let him go!” Leng Ruoxue knew that she had achieved her goal.

“Okay.” He believed that Xue’er had her reasons for doing so.

“Leave! On account of you looking so much like my son, I won’t kill you this time.
But you’ll be dead next time,” Leng Qingtian added oil to the fire.

“Xue’er, why didn’t you kill him?” Leng Qingtian asked unpleasantly after the man in black left.
In his opinion, directly killing such a person would save a lot of trouble.

“Because I want to use him to restrain Noble Consort Xu and let these dogs fight each other,” Leng Ruoxue explained.
After returning from the last banquet, she had asked her grandfather in detail about what had happened back then.
Moreover, she had Feng Da investigate it and learned some relatively secret things.

“Xue’er, are you sure that person is related to Noble Consort Xu?” Leng Qingtian asked while suppressing his anger. Xu Lian’er really wants to haunt us!

“Yes.
Noble Consort Xu doesn’t only have people like him by her side.
It’s just that they don’t know of each other’s existence,” Leng Ruoxue said.
She knew that there were a few people by Noble Consort Xu’s side who looked a lot like her father.
But if it weren’t for her brother calling him ‘dad’, she wouldn’t have been too sure that this person was related to Noble Consort Xu.
After all, she had no impression of the father of this body at all.

“Xue’er, the Xu family isn’t easy to deal with.
We should…”

“Grandpa, don’t worry.
I don’t intend to deal with the Xu family now.
It’s never too late to take revenge.
It’s been so many years, so we can wait.” Leng Ruoxue tried to calm him down.
She was not an impulsive person, so she wouldn’t do anything unless she was absolutely sure.

“That’s good.” Leng Qingtian felt relieved after hearing Xue’er’s words.

“Grandpa, go back to your room and sleep!”

“Okay, we’re going back.
Be careful!” Leng Qingtian reminded her worriedly.

“Okay.”

“Why are you still here?” Leng Ruoxue saw that the others had left, but Freak had no intention of leaving.

“I want to stay behind to protect my fiancée,” Freak said matter-of-factly. What a great opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty! Too bad it was the fox who actually got lucky.
Alas! He was depressed!

“I can protect myself.
Go back to your room and sleep.” She couldn’t let Freak stay in her room.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

“I don’t want to!” With that, Freak took out a blanket from his ring, spread it on the ground, and lay directly on it.
But he kept muttering in his heart, Have pity on me! The ground is very cold!

Unfortunately, he had miscalculated.

Seeing that she couldn’t chase him away, Leng Ruoxue ignored him and laid on the bed in her clothes.
She fell asleep in no time.

Freak had a sleepless night listening to Xue’er’s sound breathing. Alas, the plot failed!

Leng Ruoxue woke up early the next morning.
She turned her head and saw a resentful handsome face.
His bright black eyes seemed to be welling with tears, and there were two dark circles under his eyes…

Upon seeing Freak like this, she was at a loss. What does Freak want?

When they walked out of the room, Leng Qingtian and the others, who were already waiting in the corridor, looked at them strangely and ambiguously.
It made Leng Ruoxue uncomfortable all over.

“Grandpa, don’t be mistaken.
We didn’t do anything!” She instantly felt regretful. Didn’t I just reveal what I wanted to hide? She turned her head and glared at Freak.
