Chapter 167: Conspiracies All Around (4)

“Oh.” Leng Ruoxue nodded.
She had expected that business would be good.
After all, many of the dishes in the Prosperity Pavilion belonged to her previous world.
And afterward, she changed the ingredients to match the ones in this world.

“Feng Da, go out for the training experience in a few days!” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.

“Yes, Miss.”

At the same time, a secret gathering of the Five Great Families was taking place in the Xu family’s main residence in the Western Light Empire.

In the main hall of the Xu family residence…

“Xu Qian, why did you call us all here?” Huo Yi, the patriarch of the Huo family, said with a displeased face. Why can’t we send letters? Must we say it in person?!

“That’s right.
Acting Patriarch Xu, we are all here.
Say whatever you have to say!” Feng Miao, the representative of the Feng family, was also very displeased.
He originally didn’t want to come, but the first elder sent him.
He was really annoyed.

“Xu Qian, our time is very precious.
We don’t have time to waste with you,” Ye Ming said anxiously.
He said he wanted to wait for everyone to arrive before talking, but he still didn’t say anything now that everyone was here! Is Xu Qian messing with us?

“Why are you so anxious? Learn from Brother Shui.
See how composed he is,” Xu Qian, who was sitting in the main seat, said with a gloomy and eccentric sneer.

“I’m anxious too.
Just say it!” Shui Zhen retorted without giving him any face. Hmph! Don’t think that I don’t know that you just want to sit back and watch the tigers fight.
We won’t be fooled!

“Since you’re so anxious, let me say it!” Xu Qian continued after a pause, “How do you intend to deal with Leng Ruoxue?”

“Why should we deal with Leng Ruoxue?” Huo Yi’s handsome face was full of question marks.

“That’s right.
Leng Ruoxue doesn’t have any enmity with our Feng family.
Why should we deal with her?” Feng Miao was also very puzzled.

“Xu Qian, Leng Ruoxue is the future daughter-in-law of the Ye family.” Ye Ming looked at Xu Qian with a hint of warning.

“Yes, that’s right.
Leng Ruoxue and I don’t have any enmity.
She’s also a junior,” Shui Zhen agreed, but his mind was racing. It’s obviously this old thing who wants to deal with Leng Ruoxue, but he’s asking us!

“Hmph! Leng Ruoxue is about to threaten the status of our Five Great Families.
Are we going to continue to ignore this?!” Xu Qian said ruthlessly, his eyes releasing intense killing intent.

“Acting Patriarch Xu, aren’t you exaggerating a little too much? Let’s not talk about whether Leng Ruoxue is ambitious or not.
There are only a few people in the Leng family.
They’re not a threat to us at all,” Feng Miao said disapprovingly.

“Brother Feng’s words are very reasonable.
Xu Qian, you’re too far-fetched,” Huo Yi echoed. Hmph, Xu Qian obviously wants to get rid of Leng Ruoxue, but he still wants to use us as cannon fodder.
Fat chance!

“Xu Qian, although Leng Ruoxue’s Prosperity Pavilion might have robbed a lot of your Xu family’s customers, you don’t need to get rid of Leng Ruoxue just because of this! Do you think Leng Qingtian is just for show?” Ye Ming said with some schadenfreude. Xu Qian clearly wants to drag us into this because he’s afraid of Leng Qingtian!

“They’re right, Xu Qian.
How can we be so petty as top families? The Spring Wind House only earns a fraction of what your Xu family earns.
Why do you care so much?” Shui Zhen also disagreed.

“You all…” Xu Qian was so angry that he was at a loss for words.

Although the Five Great Families might look harmonious on the surface, everyone was sitting here because they couldn’t wait to see others make a fool of themselves.

“Xu Qian, only harmony can lead to wealth!” Huo Yi advised earnestly.

“Do you think I’m doing this for a mere restaurant?” Xu Qian roared furiously. They’re definitely doing it on purpose.

“Isn’t it? I didn’t hear Leng Ruoxue stealing anything else from you,” Feng Miao said in puzzlement.

“I’m doing it because of the spots to enter the Creek of Affinity Mystic Realm!” Xu Qian couldn’t take it anymore.

“I’ve asked around.
Leng Ruoxue said she didn’t have any more spots,” Ye Ming explained.
At first, he didn’t believe that Leng Ruoxue would simply give away the mystic realm spots.
But after asking around, he found out that she had indeed given them away, so he gave up.

Xu Qian widened his eyes and questioned, “Do you know how many spots she has?”

“How many can she have? The Heavenly Phoenix Academy can’t possibly give her all the spots, right?” Ye Ming said nonchalantly.

“Ten! She has ten spots!” Xu Qian said loudly.

“Is what you said true?” Ye Ming confirmed in disbelief.
The Heavenly Phoenix Academy had obtained less than twenty ownerless spots, but Leng Ruoxue herself had ten.
Was this possible?

“Of course it’s true.
Someone from the Heavenly Phoenix Academy told me personally.
The news is absolutely accurate,” Xu Qian said confidently, his face full of pride.

Damn it.
Leng Ruoxue actually dared to lie to me! Ye Ming was so angry! In fact, when he went to the Leng family residence previously, he said that he had heard Leng Ruoxue had spots in her hands, but he was just testing her.
His original intention was to use the relationship between the Leng family and Lin Liang to get a few spots from the Heavenly Phoenix Academy.
Who knew that things would end badly… Unexpectedly, Leng Ruoxue really had more and had even given them away.

“Xu Qian, even if Leng Ruoxue really has spots for the mystic realm, what can we do? She has several Spiritual Supremacies on her side! And also divine beasts.
Our ancestors are all in seclusion.
No one can defeat Leng Qingtian even if we add up all of us,” Shui Zhen said weakly.
Of course, he wanted the spots for the mystic realm, but he would have to snatch them!

“That’s why we have to join forces!” Xu Qian said anxiously.
He was determined to obtain the spots.

After hearing Xu Qian’s words, the other four people present became silent.

“Then how do you want us to join forces?” Huo Yi asked after some thought.
In fact, the Huo family was not lacking in spots to enter the mystic realm, so he really didn’t care about the few in Leng Ruoxue’s hands.
However…
