Chapter 170 - The Best Defense Is Offense (3)

"Dongfang Yun, didn't you want to find someone to spar with? You can spar with Huo Qing," Leng Ruoxue suddenly said after looking at Huo Qing.
"Uhh!" Dongfang Yun felt light-headed whenever he heard the word 'spar'. The experience of the previous spar had really left a deep impression on him, and he couldn't forget it no matter what. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look resentfully at the culprit who had harmed him. He wouldn't dare to find someone casually to spar with anymore. Boohoo… How embarrassing!
"Brother Dongfang wants to spar with me? Okay!" Huo Qing said, full of fighting spirit. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to compete with Dongfang Yun after getting to know him on the opening day of the Prosperity Pavilion..
"No, I'm not in the mood to spar now," Dongfang Yun said weakly with an awkward expression on his face.
"Oh? Then come find me at any time when you're in the mood!" Huo Qing didn't insist. Dongfang Yun couldn't run anyway, and they would have plenty of opportunities to spar in the future.
The group chatted for a while and then had dinner before seeing the two off.
After Leng Ruoxue saw the two off, she returned to the Listening Snow Pavilion with Freak.
"Xue'er, why did the empress of Southern Dusk bring you specialties?" Freak asked in puzzlement while looking at the package on the table. If they want to pursue Xue'er, they should bring some valuable things, right?
"I don't know." Leng Ruoxue also felt that it was a little strange. She had only met the empress once. Even though the empress said that she was friends with her mother…
Leng Ruoxue opened the package. There were indeed some specialties from the Southern Dusk Empire inside, but there was nothing special about them…
"Xue'er, what is this?" A small bamboo tube suddenly appeared in Freak's hand. The bamboo tube was thinner than a baby's pinky and about five centimeters long.
"Where did you get it?" Leng Ruoxue asked as she took the bamboo tube from his hand.
"Found it here," Freak explained while pointing to a string of red fruits.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the strings of red fruits and then picked up the small bamboo tube to compare the two. The bamboo tube was very similar to the stems of the red fruits, and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference if you didn't look carefully.
Leng Ruoxue opened the bamboo tube, and there was a thin letter inside. She took it out, and the more she read, the more serious her expression became.
"Xue'er, what's the matter?" Freak asked in confusion.
"See for yourself!" Leng Ruoxue didn't explain and directly handed the letter to him.
Freak took the letter doubtfully and looked at it. He couldn't help being a little surprised. "The Southern Dusk Empire wants to form an alliance with us? This should be a good thing, but…"
"Let's go see Grandpa."
"Okay."
When they arrived at Leng Qingtian's study, Leng Ruoxue took out the letter and showed it to her grandfather.
"Xue'er, this… What do you intend to do?" Leng Qingtian couldn't help asking. The Xu family was really up to no good. They even contacted the imperial families.
"I want to hear Grandpa's opinion," Leng Ruoxue said calmly. It wasn't difficult to deal with the Xu family with her current strength, but she wasn't that confident if the Xu family had too many allies.
"The Xu family is looking for allies, but won't we? Since the Southern Dusk Empire's imperial family is so sincere, we have no reason to decline," Leng Qingtian analyzed after thinking about it. He had long hated the Xu family to the core. He absolutely couldn't let them off easily now that the hateful Xu family was eyeing his granddaughter again!
"Yes." Leng Ruoxue nodded. She had the same idea. Perhaps it was time for her to meet the old patriarch of the Eastern Lagoon Empire. The old man had something to say last time.
…
Late at night, in a side palace of the Eastern Lagoon Empire's imperial palace…
A huge black eagle directly descended here. Leng Ruoxue and Freak jumped down from Quill's back and casually sized up the remote palace.
It was a very desolate palace, and the decorations here were old. Only a flower bed was full of life, and the flowers inside flourished in the darkness.
"Come in!" An old voice sounded in the cold night, and the palace became bright.
Leng Ruoxue and Freak pushed open the palace door and walked in.
"Have a seat, little girl," the old man in green said lightly.
"Thank you." Leng Ruoxue and Freak found a random seat and sat down. But the three of them didn't speak and instead looked at each other.
"Little girl, why do you always like to come to other people's houses in the middle of the night?" the old man teased after a while, his slightly turbid eyes carrying a teasing look.
"It's late at night, and everyone is asleep, so it's more convenient to do bad things!" Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly as her forehead dripped with cold sweat. She was not a shy little rabbit, and she wouldn't care about what others thought as long as she wanted to do something.
The old man was speechless. Leng Ruoxue's skin was thicker than he imagined.
"Little girl, tell me. Why are you looking for me?" the old man continued.
"Didn't you have something to tell me?" Leng Ruoxue asked in return. No one wanted to reveal their purpose first.
This little fox… why are the people in the Leng family so difficult to deal with? The old man complained in his head.
"Little girl, I know some things that should be very useful to you." Seeing that the little fox didn't take the bait, the old man had to throw out the bait first.
"The Xu family." The old man only said three words and stopped talking. He just stared at Leng Ruoxue with his turbid eyes.
"Hehe, the Xu family is ambitious, and I'm not the only one they want to deal with!" Leng Ruoxue said knowingly. She had been paying attention to the Xu family's every move since she received some news.
"Little girl, tell me what you want to do. I'll do my best to cooperate." The old man sighed helplessly. The Xu family was indeed a big problem in the Eastern Lagoon Empire.
"We can become temporary allies," Leng Ruoxue suggested.
"Why temporary?" the old man asked in puzzlement.
"After this matter is over, we will go our separate ways!" Leng Ruoxue explained. She didn't want to be too deeply involved with the imperial family.
"Leng Ruoxue, do you dislike the imperial family so much?" the old man asked in realization. Although General Leng was a pillar of the country, the Leng family didn't like to have any relationship with the imperial family. He really couldn't understand why.
