From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 117 Cold Moon

Leng Xiyao looked carefully and saw that the butler was walking towards her. He looked humble and no longer had the arrogance and domineering attitude he had before.

"Okay, it's okay to go and take a look." Under Dugu Bo's suspicious gaze, Leng Xiyao pretended to be nonchalant and agreed.

The Leng family adheres to the system of primogeniture, therefore, as long as Father Leng is alive, no one else has any right of inheritance.

With her expulsion, Leng's father's lineage was completely cut off. Therefore, the biggest beneficiary should be her second uncle, who became the new leader of the second generation, and the new eldest lady of the Leng family would naturally be her cousin.

In Douluo Continent, the common people usually get married and have children at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Soul masters will get married later depending on their talents, but most of them are around twenty years old. Especially for aristocratic families like the Leng family, there is a greater need to continue their offspring. It is rare for a family like Leng's father to give birth to a daughter like Leng Xiyao at the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

His second uncle's talent was only average. As for the new eldest daughter of the Leng family, she was probably only eight or nine years old before Leng Xiyao left, so she had no idea about her talent.

The butler led the three of them to the door of the carriage, then bowed and invited Leng Xiyao in.

"You two, why don't you go in? Why don't you wait outside?" Seeing that Dugu Bo and Da Huang were also about to follow, the housekeeper said hurriedly.

"What's the matter? Is your eldest daughter planning to hold a Hongmen Banquet? And you won't let me bring two bodyguards with me?" Leng Xiyao was about to enter the carriage, but when she heard the housekeeper's words, she stopped and asked with a stern look on her face.

To be honest, Leng Xiyao was still very panicked. Under Tianmeng's detection, everything about the Leng family convoy was naturally exposed. But precisely because of this, she was also worried whether this might be a trap.

If Da Huang and Dugu Bo were with her, then even if the Leng family had a Titled Douluo and many Soul Douluo warriors, they would not be able to do anything to her. But if she went alone, the other party would really be unfavorable to her. Once caught by the enemy Titled Douluo, it would be too late to save her.

Just as Leng Xiyao was thinking about the interests involved, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from the carriage: "Butler Liu, let them come in together."

When Leng Xiyao heard the voice, she couldn't help but shudder. She didn't know the owner of this voice, but the voice was very gentle and beautiful. There was a hint of enthusiasm in its coldness, and a hint of sorrow in its cheerfulness. Even if it was just a few words, it was enough for Leng Xiyao to savor it for a while.

In the previous life, if I had such a voice and learned some singing techniques, I could easily become a world-class diva!
Hearing this, Butler Liu didn't say much and directly opened the car door.

The size of this carriage was quite large. When looking at it from the outside, Leng Xiyao estimated that it had at least 50 square meters of usable area. When she went inside, it was just as she expected. It was like a walking presidential office, with bookshelves, desks, tea tables for meetings, sofas, and small beds for temporary rest. It had everything, which made Leng Xiyao a little envious.

Look at other people, their outings are no different from being at home, but what about me? I either ride a horse or run away, it's so miserable.

The girl in a white dress was sitting behind the desk, holding a copybook with unknown contents in her hand, and her face did not look very good.

The girl exudes an aura that keeps people at a distance, a bit like a cold goddess, and doesn't seem like someone who is easy to get along with.

An old man was sitting on the sofa nearby, seemingly asleep, but Leng Xiyao was assisted by Tianmeng after all, so she could tell at a glance that the old man was just dozing off.

"Sister, you're here?" The girl behind the desk stood up, walked around the desk, walked in front of Leng Xiyao, stretched out her hand, and smiled sweetly: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Leng Mingyue, and I'm your cousin."

"Miss, I don't have any cousins ​​and no family. You must have recognized the wrong person." Leng Xiyao shook her head. She did not forget her original intention because of the other party's attitude. The Leng family and her were already incompatible. Even if the Leng family realized their mistakes, they should have been beaten up by her several times before standing in front of everyone openly, instead of letting go of the past grudges and returning on their own initiative just because others said so.

That's fucking cheap!
"Hey, sister, why are you doing this? The family really hopes you will return." Leng Mingyue couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on her cold face. Obviously, she was not very good at this kind of negotiation, but she also didn't want to just watch the other party being killed by the family.

It is true that Leng Xiyao was exiled, but didn't she survive in the end? After so many years, the anger of the great grandfather has almost subsided. Isn't it easy for her to return to the family?

"Miss Leng, I appreciate your kindness. If you are only looking for me for this matter, then I will take my leave first." Leng Xiyao bowed, with a neither humble nor arrogant expression on her face, and her attitude was very polite.

Are you kidding me? Just after arriving in Tiandou City a few months ago, the Leng family sent a Soul Douluo to kill her. Now you are telling her that you have made up for the past grudges. Are you kidding me?

The Miss Leng in front of us probably doesn't have a very high status in the family. She can only be regarded as the best among the third generation of disciples. She has no role to play in the family's decision-making. If she knew that the family had sent people to assassinate him a few months ago, I wonder if they would still have the face to ask her to come and play the emotional card?
"Well, in that case, I won't persuade you anymore. However, I guess you are planning to go to the Liu family's martial arts conference, right? Why don't you come with us?" Seeing that Leng Xiyao was determined to go against the Leng family, Leng Mingyue changed the subject and asked.

"Okay, thank you, sister." It would be a waste not to take a free ride. He was completely in the dark here in Xingluo. Even though the old man sitting there was a Titled Douluo of level 95, if a real fight broke out, the other party would still need to take care of Leng Mingyue. But he had Tianmeng's assistance, so if the other party had any ill intentions, he could run away in advance!
After saying that, Leng Xiyao asked Dugu Bo and Da Huang to find a place to sit down.

"Young man, you are really courageous. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Seeing Leng Xiyao staying, the dozing old man suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Leng Xiyao casually with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Leng Xiyao looked at the other party's favorability which had slightly increased but not decreased, and realized that the other party did not want to make a move at all, and was probably just trying to scare her, so she said: "Third Uncle, you have to think about one thing clearly. I am not someone you can do whatever you want with me now, as I was before."

After saying that, Leng Xiyao changed the subject and said with hatred:
"If you wanted to kill him, you should have done it a few months ago. Why do you have to threaten me now?"
