Supreme Crazy Wife

Chapter 171: The Best Defense Is Offense (4)

“I guess so!” Leng Ruoxue said without giving him any face.

“Sigh!”

“Little girl, do you have any plans?” the old man asked helplessly.

“I’ve decided to strike first!” Leng Ruoxue explained. She had never been one to be a sitting duck. Since the enemies wanted to deal with her, she naturally couldn’t give them enough time to prepare. Thus, she was already planning when she knew the news. But things changed later on, so she wanted to find a few more allies.

“Strike first? Are you confident?” the old man asked with interest.

“You’ll know then.” Leng Ruoxue deliberately left him hanging.

“Little girl, what do you need me to do?” the old man asked proactively. Since they were going to form an alliance, it was impossible for him to do nothing and enjoy the fruits of her labor, right?

“I need you to get rid of the parasites in the Eastern Lagoon Empire first. We’ll see what happens with the rest later,” Leng Ruoxue said simply. She wanted to cut off the Xu family’s lackeys before dealing with the Xu family.

“There’s no problem with that,” the old man said straightforwardly. He had wanted to get rid of those people for a long time, but he had never thought of a good reason. But it seemed like he didn’t need any reason now.

After reaching an agreement with the old man and establishing the alliance contract, Leng Ruoxue left quietly.

After leaving the Eastern Lagoon Empire’s imperial palace, Leng Ruoxue and Freak rushed to the Southern Dusk Empire overnight.

After flying non-stop for nearly three days, they finally arrived at Lunar Capital in the Southern Dusk Empire.

It was in the afternoon when they entered the Southern Dusk Country. Leng Ruoxue and Freak casually found a family inn, had some food, and had a simple rest. They waited until late at night before sneaking into the imperial palace of the Southern Dusk Empire.

With great familiarity, they found the Phoenix Rite Hall where the empress resided. Leng Ruoxue got Rise to cast an invisibility spell on the two of them, and they walked into the inner hall as if no one was there.

“Xue’er, I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to barge in like this,” Freak said with some concern on his face, his cheeks flushed red.

“Why not? It’s the only way to avoid being discovered!” Leng Ruoxue said in puzzlement, her face full of confusion. What does Freak mean?

“What I mean is, what if the couple is currently… Wouldn’t we be disturbing them if we went in directly?” Freak said very thoughtfully.

“Damn Freak, are you looking for a beating? What are you thinking?” Leng Ruoxue said speechlessly with her face full of black lines. Only Freak could think of something like this.

“Xue’er, it’s not impossible,” Freak defended himself aggrievedly.

“What should we do then? Should we enter or not?” Leng Ruoxue was also a little hesitant. After all, they were here to form an alliance with the Southern Dusk Empire. If they really ran into them… it would indeed not be good.

Freak thought about it and then pressed his ear against the window of the inner hall…

“Xue’er, let’s go in!” he said after a while.

“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue pushed open the door to the inner hall, and the two entered…

…

Three days later, Leng Ruoxue and Freak returned to the general’s mansion.

“Xue’er, you’re back so soon?” Leng Qingtian was surprised to see his precious granddaughter in his study.

“Yes.”

“Has everything been settled?” Leng Qingtian couldn’t help asking.

“Done,” Leng Ruoxue said simply.

“Stinky girl, can’t you say a few more words? Are you trying to make Grandpa anxious?” Leng Qingtian was a little anxious. He had been waiting for news from Xue’er, but this stinky girl insisted on one-word answers. She was deliberately trying to make him anxious!

“Grandpa, are you doubting your granddaughter?” Leng Ruoxue hugged Leng Qingtian’s arm and acted coquettishly.

“Of course I’m not doubting you, but you have to explain it to Grandpa. Otherwise, Grandpa will be worried,” Leng Qingtian said with slight dissatisfaction.

“Okay, okay.”

Leng Ruoxue stopped teasing her grandfather and explained her cooperation with the two empires in detail…

In fact, she had gained a lot from her trip to the Southern Dusk Empire. At least, she now knew a lot of secrets from the emperor and the empress, including what had happened to her parents all those years ago. She didn’t expect them to know more details than her grandfather. This made her even more determined to get rid of the Xu family.

“Xue’er, what are your plans?” Leng Qingtian asked with a solemn expression after hearing everything his granddaughter had to say. The Xu family is too ambitious. They actually want to…

“Grandpa, hasn’t the Xu family been waiting for news from the other four families? I’ve decided to reveal these things to those families. If they still choose to cooperate with the Xu family, I’m afraid they won’t be on the same page,” Leng Ruoxue explained. She decided to use the sow discord plan. But she knew very well that even if she didn’t use it, those families would still have different motives.

Leng Qingtian nodded and then asked worriedly, “What about the imperial families?” The power of the imperial families wasn’t any weaker than the Five Great Families. If they all…

“Grandpa, don’t worry. The status of the Five Great Families and the imperial families are very different. So far, only the Western Light Empire is under the Xu family’s absolute control. As for the others, the Xu family hasn’t completely succeeded yet. But the bait set by the Xu family this time is quite big.” Leng Ruoxue didn’t expect those people to care so much about the spots for the mystic realm. But the other three empires were not as strong as the Eastern Lagoon Empire and Southern Dusk Empire, so she was not too worried. The ones that were harder to deal with were those few Great Families.

“Xue’er, you are still young and don’t understand what the spots for the mystic realm mean to others,” Leng Qingtian said with a sigh. Xue’er might not know, but he knew very well.

For thousands of years, the prominent families would reshuffle prior to every opening of the mystic realm. Take their Leng family, for example. In the past, the Leng family was once a top family of the Ling Feng Continent. But later on… they declined and only rose again in his generation. Therefore, he felt very deeply about this.

“Grandpa, Grandpa Yu’s group…”

“Don’t worry. Grandpa will send them back in a few days.” Leng Qingtian understood what his granddaughter meant. At the same time, he knew very well that with his relationship with Old Yu, if he told Old Yu, that old man would definitely stay to help. But for this matter… he couldn’t and didn’t want to involve them.
