Chapter 135: Uninvited Guests (2)
“Xue’er, you’re awake.” Leng Qingtian’s mood immediately improved when he saw his precious granddaughter.
“Grandpa, why didn’t you sleep a little more?” Leng Ruoxue said with displeasure.?Grandpa just came back. Why didn’t he rest well?
“Hehe, Grandpa is used to it and can’t stay idle,” Leng Qingtian said with a fawning face. He didn’t want his granddaughter to be angry with him!
“Grandpa, is there something important?” Leng Ruoxue noticed that her grandfather didn’t look too good.
“It’s okay. Grandpa will take care of it.” Leng Qingtian didn’t want his granddaughter to worry about him.
“Grandpa, you have to tell me if anything happens!” Leng Ruoxue reminded. She really wanted to share the burden with her grandfather, but he refused to tell her, and she couldn’t force him.
“Hehe, don’t worry. Grandpa won’t be polite with you if there’s really something that I can’t solve,” Leng Qingtian promised.
“Okay, Grandpa. Xue’er is hungry. Go eat with me!” Leng Ruoxue hugged her grandfather’s arm affectionately.
“Alright.”
Leng Qingtian and his granddaughter entered the dining room, only to find that they were the last to arrive.
“You stinky brats aren’t as caring as my precious granddaughter.” Leng Qingtian put on a stern face and pretended to be displeased.
“Grandpa, that’s because we all know that Xue’er would look for you!” Leng Ruohan hurriedly stood up and walked to Leng Qingtian’s side to curry favor.
“Yes, Grandpa. Aren’t we all waiting for you? How can we dare to eat if you don’t come!” Freak came over as well, his beautiful face full of flattery.
“Hehe, you stinky brats, I’m just teasing you! You must be hungry, right? Hurry up and eat!” Then the two of them sat down in their respective seats.
“By the way, what do you think of the banquet in the imperial palace?” Leng Qingtian asked his granddaughter and the others after breakfast.
“I don’t want to go.” Leng Ruoxue was the first to express her opinion. The imperial palace was too dark, and she didn’t know what the emperor was thinking, so it was better not to have anything to do with him.
“I’ll listen to Xue’er.” Freak followed Xue’er in everything. He was the twenty-four-hour-a-day exemplary obedient fiancé.
“Grandpa, I don’t want to go either.” Leng Ruohan’s handsome face looked thoughtful.
“What about you?” Leng Qingtian turned to Feng Da and the others.
“Since Miss isn’t going, we aren’t going either,” Feng Da said without hesitation. The palace wasn’t his cup of tea.
“No, they can choose not to go, but the few of you must,” Leng Qingtian said domineeringly. Wouldn’t they be disrespecting the emperor if they didn’t go? He was still the empire’s general after all.
“Why?” Feng Da said gloomily with a long face.
“Because if you don’t go, no one will,” Leng Qingtian said matter-of-factly.
“…” So they were just going to make up the numbers!
“General, socializing isn’t my forte. Really, don’t make me go. I might embarrass you, our elderly,” Feng Da said pitifully, almost crying.
“Elderly? Am I that old?” Leng Qingtian glared at Feng Da.
“No, no, you’re not old at all. See. I’m not good at talking, so don’t make me go!” Seeing that the volcano was about to erupt, Feng Da hurriedly put out the fire and gave a suggestion.
“You must go.” General Leng made the final decision, leaving no room for resistance.
“Miss.” Feng Da looked at Leng Ruoxue with a bitter face.
“Be good and eat more for us.” Leng Ruoxue patted Feng Da’s head and comforted him like she was comforting a puppy with a bright smile on her face.
“Freak, accompany me to the academy!” Leng Ruoxue turned to Freak. She should go and see Grandpa Lin.
“Okay.”
…
It was already evening when they arrived at the Heavenly Phoenix Academy. They entered the academy and went straight to the principal’s office.
“Grandpa Lin.” Leng Ruoxue knocked on the door.
“Ruoxue, why are you here so late?” Lin Liang was surprised to see Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen.
“I have something to tell Grandpa Lin.” Leng Ruoxue went straight to the point.
“Oh. Do you want to talk about not attending the academy?” Elder Qiu had already reported to him after returning.
“Yes, we’ve finished our task. Our focus will be on cultivating from now on, so we shouldn’t be going to the academy anymore,” Leng Ruoxue said very tactfully.
“Yes, you should cultivate diligently.” Lin Liang approved of this point. Moreover, he also knew that it was unlikely that this girl would be restrained by the academy.
“By the way, Ruoxue, Huo Qing…” Lin Liang looked awkward and hesitant to speak.
“Grandpa Lin, I know that he wants to transfer to the Heavenly Phoenix Academy.”
“He’s not the only one. There are others.” Lin Liang was very helpless.
“Who else?” Leng Ruoxue was puzzled.
“There’s also Southern Dusk’s Crown Prince Huangfu Lian, Shui Xinran, Northern Frost’s Princess Ximen Ya, and Ye Xiao. All of them want to transfer here,” Lin Liang said with a slight headache. If the two best geniuses of the Rising Dragon Academy transferred to their academy, that old fellow at the Rising Dragon Academy would definitely hate him to death.
Leng Ruoxue and Freak exchanged glances and said in unison, “Grandpa Lin will have a way.”
“I have no choice!” He had a headache over this for the past two days.
“Ruoxue, Huo Qing and the others are here for you. You can’t just leave them alone.” Lin Liang looked expectantly at the cunning girl.
“Grandpa Lin, they didn’t come for me. I’m not going to the academy anymore. Even if they came for me, there’s nothing I can do!” Leng Ruoxue made it clear that she was irresponsible and didn’t want to care about this matter.
“Ruoxue, can you give Grandpa Lin a good idea?” Lin Liang said expectantly. He really didn’t want to take in those people. Taking them in would mean trouble, but not taking them in would…
“Grandpa Lin, as long as you can convince Huo Qing, the others are nothing to fear,” Leng Ruoxue reminded kindly.
“Alright, I’ll try!” Lin Liang really had no other way.
“Oh, right. Grandpa Lin, did the Fu family and Vice Principal Chen do anything in the past month?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
