Leng ruoxue was relieved, but ning haolan was conflicted.
He knew that his status was an irresistible attraction to some women. However, this Cheng Xian ‘er’s direct and unconcealed gaze on him still caused him to feel an indescribable irritation. Although there were many women who were interested in him, it was rare for her to be so direct. However, because she was a member of the Cheng family, ning haolan had to give the Cheng family some face even if he was angry.
Seeing ning haolan remain silent after hearing her words, Cheng Xian ‘er felt a little upset. However, she knew that the young master of the ning family never liked to talk, so she didn’t mind too much. After all, in her eyes, women should take the initiative. Wasn’t there a saying that went’ take the initiative ‘? There was a thin veil between a woman and a man, and since there was only one veil, she had to break it no matter what. At this thought, she walked over to ning haolan’s side, her smile as bright as a spring flower, and said gently,””Brother LAN! It’s so good to meet you here!” With that, she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at ning haolan.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Xuan was full of disdain.
Stop pretending! It’s not like Hao LAN didn’t know what she was. In fact, the young masters of the eight great divine regions had heard about the character of the young ladies of each family. After all, one of them could become the marriage partner of the family in the future. Therefore, when they were very young, people would gradually report the situation of the young ladies of each family to them. As for those daughters from rich families, although many of them were good at acting, even good actors would reveal their flaws sometimes. Therefore, it was not easy for those young ladies to hide their true nature.
As for this Cheng Xian ‘er, she was one of the most outstanding in acting. On the outside, she appeared to be a dignified and virtuous woman, well-behaved and cute, but in reality, she was quite overbearing in private. Moreover, she was a woman with a strong desire for power and a strong sense of vanity. However, she had probably suffered a great shock in the secret realm, so she had almost exposed her true nature just now. But no matter how she tried to hide it, it was useless. This was because Hao LAN would never like her.
“What a coincidence!” The corner of ning haolan’s mouth twitched slightly as a form of greeting.
“Yup! Brother LAN! It’s better to meet by chance than to invite you. Since we’ve met, it’s fate. Let’s go together in the future!” Cheng Xian ‘er said passionately. At this moment, there was only ning haolan in her heart and in her eyes. No one else was worthy of her attention, including Cheng Xuan.
“Miss Cheng! I’m here with my friend. ” Ning haolan said in a soft voice. He was trying to say,”I can’t leave my friend behind to be with you.” However, Cheng Xian ‘er wouldn’t be able to read between the lines. In other words, even if she did, she would ignore it.
“It doesn’t matter! Since we’re fated to meet, we can travel together. ” Without waiting for Cheng Xian ‘er to speak, the third elder of the CAO family spoke first. Furthermore, his words were a statement and not a question. It was clear that he didn’t want to give Leng ruoxue and the others a chance to reject. After all, cannon fodder was hard to come by!
When ning haolan heard this, he suppressed his displeasure and looked at Leng ruoxue and the others. When he saw Leng ruoxue nod, he said,””Alright then! Since third elder Cao has graciously invited us, we’ll respectfully accept. ”
“However, if we find any treasures in the secret plane, how are we going to split them among so many of us?” Then, ning haolan changed the topic and revealed the fact that the third elder of the CAO family had deliberately ignored.
“Naturally, it will be distributed according to contribution.” The CAO family’s third elder said after thinking for a moment. The reason why he said this was because he had too few people on his side. If it was distributed according to the number of people, his side would definitely suffer a loss. If it was distributed according to the contribution, his strength was clearly above theirs. They had already agreed on the distribution method in advance, so when it was really time to distribute it, presumably they would not be able to say anything. Therefore, the third elder of the CAO family, who thought that his plan was flawless, suggested this fair distribution method.
When Leng ruoxue heard the words of the CAO family’s third elder, she chuckled and said,””This distribution method is very fair. Let’s do it this way!” In fact, she didn’t think that she would be able to find anything good here.
“Hehe! I still don’t know young lady’s name?” Seeing that Leng ruoxue had made the final decision and that no one else had objected, the CAO family’s third elder was suspicious. Did this woman’s words carry so much weight? He was surprised that young master ning and young master Cheng didn’t have any objections.
“My surname is Leng!” Leng ruoxue said with a smile.
“Cold?” Upon hearing this surname, elder Cao San racked his brain but still could not think of any top family in the divinity with the surname Leng.
“Our Leng clan has yet to establish a clan in the divinity.” Leng ruoxue explained when she saw the doubt in third elder Cao’s eyes.
“Oh!” Leng ruoxue’s words caused third elder Cao’s enthusiasm towards her to drop. He had originally thought that since she was close to young master ning and young master Cheng, she was also a young lady from some top family! Who knew that he was actually a rogue cultivator who didn’t even have a family? but this was good too. People without a family background were easy to mess with, right?
The CAO family’s third elder saw that Leng ruoxue and the others were of no value to him, so he treated them coldly and turned to ning haolan instead.
He walked to ning haolan’s side and started chatting with him with a smile on his face. Leng ruoxue and the others saw this and tactfully walked to a corner. They each found a seat and sat down. Grape and the others even took out some food to prepare for dinner.
“Miss! This whatever third elder Cao is really looking down on people!” Feng Da said indignantly.
“Isn’t this just right! I don’t intend to have any deep friendship with them. ” Leng ruoxue said with a smile.
“Hehe! This little girl is still the most open-minded one, kid! You haven’t trained enough! One must know that no matter where one was, there would always be people with eyes on top of their heads, so it was better to stay calm! Besides, these people aren’t worth your time. ” Uncle long said earnestly. In fact, other than being able to find out where there were people here, he was also very talented in recognizing people. Thus, he only needed a glance to know that he could only make use of these people from the CAO family.
“I’m very calm, and I don’t want to make friends with them. I just think that this person is a little too realistic! Once they heard that we didn’t have a family, they ignored us. ” Feng Da was a little speechless. He had seen many people in his life, but this was the first time he had seen such a realistic person.
“In the divinity, family is very important. If a cultivator without any background wants to stand out, he must have someone to rely on. Otherwise, why do you think so many experts want to rely on a more powerful top force? It’s precisely because those powers can provide them with even better resources that many experts would rather be a guest minister in a top clan than wander around the divine realm alone. Furthermore, the greatest benefit of having an attachment is that it will make the enemy forget about them. ” Uncle long said with a smile.
