Chapter 39: Brother's Wish
"Yes, I'm so envious." Lin said with a glance, ever since something happened to Ruo Han, he hadn't had a good night's sleep, and now that he saw Ruo Han perking up, he could finally put his mind at ease.
"Xue Er, is this wind rabbit meat?" Leng Ruo Han finished eating a piece of tuotuo meat and picked up another piece to eat, asking as he ate.
"Hmm, brother, eat a little less, there's something good later!" Leng Ruoxue said mysteriously.
"What's good stuff?" Leng Qingtian's curiosity was also piqued, is there a better-tasting meat than the earthworm and wind rabbit? Hmm, this meat with Xue Er's seasoning tastes even better.
"Of course, here it is." Leng Ruoxue took out a large piece of meat that had been prepared in advance from her ring and put it on the fire to roast.
"This meat tastes pretty good, but it's not as delicious as the python meat!" Lan Feng said indifferently after taking a bite.
"Yes, Xue Er, what kind of meat is this?" Leng Qing Tian was also somewhat curious.
"Spicy rhinoceros meat." Leng Ruoxue said.
“……”
"This meat is not bad, is there any more?" Lin Liang asked, daring to hurt his apprentice, he would eat their meat.
"There are many."
"Give me some."
"Master, you've already eaten a lot." Leng Ruohan said, unable to bear it any longer.
"I'm still hungry." Lin Liang said somewhat childishly.
"No food for today, brother needs to rest, everyone can disperse." said Leng Ruoxue.
"I didn't say I wanted to rest." Leng Ruo Han said somewhat resentfully, Xue Er is so overbearing.
Leng Ruo Xue quietly gave Ye Chen a signal, Ye Chen understood and directly leaned into Leng Ruo Han's ear, said a few words, after which Leng Ruo Han obediently returned to his room to rest.
"What did you just say to your brother?" Ye Cong's grandfather and the others left, Leng Ruo Xue pulled Yi Chen aside and asked with some curiosity.
"There's nothing much, I just told him that if he didn't listen, Xue Er would get angry, and then he went to sleep obediently." Ye Chen explained.
"Is that all?"
"Hmm, it's just that simple, I'm clever, right?" Ye Chen said with some complacency.
"I'm so sleepy, I'm going to bed." Lan Ruo Xue gave him a cold glance and said lightly, let this demon be pleased with himself.
"Brother." Leng Ruoxue came to her brother's room and called out softly. Her brother's complexion had improved a lot in the past few days.
"Xue Er." The cold and aloof person standing by the window turned around.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Leng Ruoxue always felt that her brother seemed to have something he wanted to tell her these past two days.
"Xue Er, there are still two months until the college entrance examination." Leng Ruo Han said after some thought.
"What's the big deal?" Cold-as-Snow was unimpressed. The college competition had nothing to do with her, she didn't go to college just to waste time, so the college's honor had nothing to do with her either.
"Brother wants you to go in his place," said Leng Ruohan, yesterday Master also mentioned this matter to him.
"Brother, they've wronged you enough, and now you still care about their honor?" Leng Ruoxue said with some anger.
"Xue Er, it's because Brother doesn't want to make things difficult for Master, don't blame him. And the efforts Brother has made over the past three years are all for this college competition." Leng Ruo Han explained, knowing that his master was in a difficult position, so he chose to remain silent.
"Moreover, three years ago, my brother had already made a promise with Huo Qing to have a showdown at this year's college competition, but now..."
The Inter-Academy Competition is a comprehensive evaluation of all academies within the Lingfeng Continent, where every academy, big or small, can participate. It takes place once every three years. The top three places are usually dominated by the Three Great Academies: Longsheng Academy, Fengtian Academy, and Yuèyǐng Academy. Among them, Longsheng Academy is the strongest, often ranking first. Fengtian and Yuèyǐng have their wins and losses against each other. In the previous Inter-Academy Competition three years ago, Fengtian Academy had a chance to take first place but ultimately came in second due to its slightly inferior overall strength compared to Longsheng Academy. This was a regret for Lěng Rùhán. He thought he had another chance this time, but unexpectedly...
"Brother, I'll go instead." Leng Ruo Xue said somewhat helplessly. Her brother wasn't unaware that as long as he found the 'Xiu Yuan Grass' and refined the Xiu Yuan Dan, his spiritual power could be restored, yet he still pretended to be pitiful in front of her.
"But if I can refine the Xiuyuan Dan before the college competition, then you still have to go yourself, brother." said Leng Ruoxue, her own wishes were still best fulfilled by herself.
"Alright." Leng Ruo Han said, but he didn't have much hope. Xiuyuan grass was something that people on the Liangfeng continent had never even heard of, how easy could it be to find?
"Master Fu has arrived." Just then, Ming An came forward to report.
"Which Fu Young Master?" asked Leng Ruoxue.
"Xue Er is Ge Ge's friend." Leng Ruo Han explained with a hint of amusement, now Xue Er was like a protective mother beast, afraid that someone would bully him.
"Oh."
"Since brother has friends, Xue Er will go back first." Leng Ruo Xue didn't plan to disturb her brother and his friends.
As she walked to the door, Leng Ruo Xue happened to meet Fu Shao Ye, who was mentioned by Ming An, and took a glance at him. That Fu Shao Ye was a man in his early twenties, very handsome, tall and big, with a noble bearing, but she only looked at him for a moment before turning sideways and walking away.
Leng Ruoxue arrived at the study, saw Ye Chen playing chess with Grandfather, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. This demon was indeed capable, Grandfather and Brother were actually both subdued by him, he lingered in her home without leaving, and Grandfather and Brother actually indulged him.
"Grandpa."
"Xue Er, didn't you go see Ruohan? How did you come back so quickly?" asked Leng Qingtian.
"Master Fu has arrived, I'll withdraw first."
"What is he doing here?" Leng Qingtian said somewhat displeasedly.
"Grandfather, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with Master Fu?" asked Leng Ruoxue in a puzzled tone.
"He doesn't have any major issues, but the Fu family is a different story." Leng Qingtian said with some disgust.
"He's called Fu Mingyuan, the young master of the Fu family. That old shameless Fu Xiang has been constantly inciting the Emperor, wanting to marry their daughter Fu Mingzhu to our Cold family, but I've rejected them all." Cold Chengtian said disdainfully, even if their daughter was the number one beauty in Dongchi, she's still not worthy of his excellent grandson.
"Fu Mingzhu?" The name seemed familiar, oh, she remembered, that time she went to see her brother, the woman she met was called this name.
"Xue Er, when are you planning to go to the academy with Ye Chen?" asked Leng Qing Tian, who was quite satisfied with Ye Chen as his future grandson-in-law and was happy to create opportunities for them to spend time together.
"The day after tomorrow."
"That's why Grandpa wants you to prepare yourself, once you go to the academy, you won't be able to come home often, and Grandpa will miss you." Leng Qingtian said with a reluctance, but he also knew that his granddaughter was not going to the academy just for studying.
"Grandpa, I want to go home and can come back anytime." Leng Ruoxue said helplessly, she wanted to go home, who dared to stop her.
"Well, in that case... you can just go home and live there every day." Leng Qingtian said.
"Good."
The General's Mansion of Leng is at the gate.
"Xue Er, be careful on the road." Leng Qing Tian reminded with concern.
"Grandpa, I'm not a kid anymore," Leng Ruoxue said with a smile, accompanied by Ye Chen and Lu Tao, but Grandpa still didn't let his guard down.
"Grandpa, brother, you guys go back quickly, I'm leaving."
"Feathers, let's go." Leng Ruo Xue said to Feathers afterwards.
