Chapter 419: Leaving Without Saying Goodbye (2)
The next morning…
Leng Ruoxue and Freak opened the door of the room and were about to leave when they found that the door was blocked…
“Why are you sleeping here?!” Dumbfounded, Leng Ruoxue kicked the three people blocking her room.
“Ah! Why did we fall asleep?” Lan Lie rubbed his eyes and yawned.
“You’re blocking the way,” Leng Ruoxue said calmly. Who knew how you fell asleep!
“Uh! Are we leaving?” Lan Lie hurriedly got up from the ground. He also kicked the other two people a few times while he was at it. He kept muttering in his head, How can these two people sleep like dead pigs? He was awake, but these two people were still asleep.
Leng Wudi opened his eyes and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Sun Teng also opened his slightly dazed eyes and asked foolishly, “Eh? Why is the sky bright?”
“It’s already the next day, three young masters,” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. It seemed like these two people were really muddle-headed from sleeping. Alas! Weren’t they afraid of encountering bad people? They actually slept so soundly.
“Oh, let’s go then!” Leng Wudi finally woke up completely.
Leng Ruoxue looked at Freak helplessly and then pulled Freak straight to the dining hall.
In the dining hall, Leng Qingtian and the others had already ordered breakfast and were sitting in chairs, waiting for them.
“Grandpa.” Leng Ruoxue and Freak found a seat and sat down, their faces still full of helplessness.
“What happened?” Leng Qingtian couldn’t help asking when he saw his granddaughter’s unnatural expression.
“Three uninvited guests.” Leng Ruoxue sighed and explained.
As they spoke, the three entered the dining hall and sat at the table closest to Leng Ruoxue’s group.
“Uncle, you’re too much. How could you abandon me?” Lan Lie complained aggrievedly with tears in his eyes after seeing Lan Ming.
“Didn’t you already find us!” Lan Ming said helplessly.
“Yes. Fortunately, I’m smart and posted your portraits on notice boards for a reward. Otherwise, you would have escaped again,” Lan Lie said proudly.
“No wonder people on the streets looked at us as though they saw money after we entered the city. So it was all your fault!” Leng Ruoxue said in realization.
“Hehe, but you’re really slow. We’ve been here for a few days,” Lan Lie complained. This Sheep City was a necessary stop on the way to Blue Cloud City, so they had decided to wait here.
“We’re not in a hurry. Why would we travel so quickly? Isn’t it better to admire the beautiful scenery of the Boundless Heaven Continent along the way?” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly. In fact, they had spent more time walking less traveled roads in the past half a month. But unfortunately, they didn’t encounter a group of bandits again.
“How can the scenery on the road compare to Blue Cloud City! Let’s go to Blue Cloud City to enjoy the beautiful scenery quickly!” Lan Lie said anxiously.
“Young Master Lan, you can leave first if you’re in a hurry! You don’t have to be with us,” Leng Ruoxue suggested.
“No hurry. I’m not in a hurry,” Lan Lie said quickly. Anyway, he had made up his mind that he would stick to them no matter what Leng Ruoxue said. Boohoo… Little Icy, I’m suffering so much for you!
“Then let’s go together! But you have to listen to me on the way,” Leng Ruoxue said. Since she couldn’t shake them off, they should go together, lest they caused any trouble. She didn’t want to become famous to the point where everyone knew her.
“Yes, yes.” Lan Lie nodded vigorously like a puppy.
After breakfast, everyone was about to set off, but another uninvited guest arrived. It was the fifth daughter of the Lan family, Lan Ning’er.
Leng Ruoxue looked at Lan Ning’er, whom she had only met once. She was dressed in bright red, had beautiful facial features, skin as fair as snow, and a noble temperament that was beyond reach. Apart from her arrogant and overbearing character that was not very likable, this girl was indeed a rare beauty.
At the entrance of the inn, Lan Ning’er ignored everyone and ran straight for Leng Wudi.
“Big Brother Leng, what a coincidence! Are you leaving? Let’s go together!” Lan Ning’er said very warmly, the expression on her face of a shy girl in love.
“We’re taking our time traveling. As a noble young lady, you’re not suitable to travel with us.” Leng Wudi frowned and declined politely. He didn’t want to bring such a delicate beauty along with him. In his opinion, women were troublesome.
“It’s okay. I don’t mind. Who asked us to run into each other so coincidentally!” Lan Ning’er said with a sweet smile on her face.
“What a coincidence!” Lan Lie said with a spurious smile. Hmph! Coincidence? Who would believe it? They weren’t three-year-old children. Were they so easy to fool?
“Seventh Brother, you’re here too!” Lan Ning’er said in surprise, pretending to have just seen Lan Lie.
“I’ve been here all along. Don’t you know?” Lan Lie said angrily.
“Oh! I’m sorry. I didn’t see Seventh Brother,” Lan Ning’er said guiltily.
“That’s my honor,” Lan Lie said lightly. Hmph! Who wanted to be seen by her? Whoever caught her eye would be unlucky! And that unlucky person now was obviously Leng Wudi.
“Let’s go!” Leng Ruoxue didn’t want to see them bicker.
After speaking, everyone left the inn tacitly and walked out of the city. Lan Lie and the other two hurriedly followed the group.
“Don’t tell me you’re so poor that you don’t even have flying beasts? Why are you walking?” Lan Ning’er couldn’t help complaining after walking behind Leng Ruoxue and the others for a while.
“It’s healthier to walk. If you can’t walk anymore, Miss Lan, please go ahead!” Leng Ruoxue said lightly.
“You… Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this?” Lan Ning’er roared furiously.
“Miss Lan, I don’t think we requested for you to travel with us! You can leave first if you can’t take it anymore. But if you insist on following us, you have to listen to me. I’m not interested in who you are,” Leng Ruoxue said rudely. She hated people who bullied others with their power the most. She would blacklist both men and women who did so, and this young lady from the Lan family had obviously entered her blacklist.
