Chapter 2444
2444 Top-notch treatment (3)
It seemed like a person’s success was not without reason.
Since the Phoenix King had said so, Leng ruoxue had to give him some face in order to prove her innocence. Leng ruoxue said,””It’s not a problem for me to assist in the investigation, but I don’t want to be locked up as a suspect by the Phoenix King. So, I hope the Phoenix King can understand my feelings. Besides, I also want to ask, the treasure room of your Phoenix Clan should be heavily guarded, right? How did it get stolen? What kind of strength did the thief have to dare to come to the Phoenix King to steal things?! If it was me, I would never have the guts to do that!”
Leng ruoxue’s words made the peacocks beside her laugh like crazy. Hehe, master was really too evil. Her words made the Phoenix King depressed to death. However, the peacocks were also glad that they had acknowledged their master. Otherwise, they would have ended up like the Phoenix King today.
When the Phoenix King heard Leng ruoxue’s words, his expression turned even uglier. How could she not know that Leng ruoxue’s words were correct? however, under the circumstances where she could not find the thief, she had to at least find someone to vent her anger on, right? But now, it seemed that his idea was going to fail.
Lian Wu was worthy of being the advisor of that B * tch, Wu Cheng! He was really difficult to deal with.
The Phoenix King was secretly depressed for a while. Then, he directly ordered his confidant, the head butler, who had just regained his senses,””Invite Lord lianwu to the guest courtyard to serve him.”
“Lord lianwu, before this matter is fully investigated, I can only trouble you to stay in the Phoenix Clan.” The Phoenix Prince then turned to Leng ruoxue.
“No, I’m not. I’ve long heard of the beautiful scenery in the Phoenix clan’s territory. I’ve long wanted to live here and experience it. Now that the Phoenix King has given me a chance, I can’t ask for more!” Leng ruoxue replied with an expression that said she was very satisfied with this arrangement.
With that, Leng ruoxue immediately stood up and instructed the head butler to lead the way. She then led the peacocks and strolled behind the head butler, who was obviously in a daze, as they headed to the guest courtyard to settle down.
As soon as they left, the Phoenix King’s face immediately darkened. However, Leng ruoxue wasn’t aware of this. At this moment, she was in a good mood as she brought the peacocks to tour the Phoenix clan’s territory!
However, the trusted Butler of the Phoenix King, who led the way, was absent-minded all the way. No one knew what he was thinking.
As they walked, Leng ruoxue suddenly stopped. The peacocks behind her did not know why their master had stopped, but since their master had stopped, they naturally could not continue forward. The moment they steadied themselves, the peacocks heard a loud thud. Following that, they saw a certain head butler who was leading the way had crashed into a huge tree that required at least ten people to encircle him. In the next second, a certain unlucky head butler fell to the ground with a thud.
All the peacocks covered their faces and thought to themselves, this is too tragic to look at.
At this moment, a certain Peacock put on a curious look and asked,””Why is there a tree here? It’s not a parasol tree either!”
“This is just a decorative tree. It’s probably used by the Phoenix Clan to admire!” Leng ruoxue sized up the giant tree not far away and made a guess.
It had to be said that Leng ruoxue was right.
This tree had been prepared by the Phoenix Clan for the guests who had been invited here. Since this place was close to the guest courtyard, many of these giant trees had been planted along the way.
As for the unlucky housekeeper, the Phoenix King’s confidant, he had been so preoccupied with his thoughts that he had long forgotten about the road conditions here. That was why he had bumped into them.
Seeing that a certain head butler had not been able to get up after falling to the ground, Leng ruoxue could only lead the peacocks forward to express her concern.
“Head butler, are you alright?” Leng ruoxue saw that the Feng Prince’s trusted Butler’s fingers were still moving. She knew that he was still conscious and had not completely lost consciousness.
However, this person’s injuries weren’t light!
There was already a red bump the size of a fist on his forehead. His slightly opened eyes were also rippling.
Leng ruoxue started to pity him.
“I ‘m, I’m fine!” Upon hearing Leng ruoxue’s words, a certain Butler, whose eyes were filled with stars, said with a trembling voice.
Wuwu…It hurts! However, in front of Lord Lian Wu, he didn’t want to show his weak side, so as not to embarrass the Feng clan.
However, Leng ruoxue disagreed with him when she saw how he was holding it in.””Head butler, if it hurts, then cry! We will not laugh at you! It was true! I promise!”
“It’s true, it’s true … Boohoo …” A certain Butler wanted to say that he was not in pain, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it. In the end, he couldn’t help but cry out loud, feeling deeply wronged.
When he was done crying, he received even more sympathetic gazes. The next second, his old face quickly turned red, and he really wanted to find a hole to hide in.
He had lived for so many years, why was he still so useless? If the Phoenix King knew about this, he would definitely punish him severely. When he thought of the Phoenix King, his heart trembled.
The Phoenix King was so terrifying.
If he could, he really wanted to go on strike like those elders!
Unfortunately, he didn’t have the guts!
“Don’t be afraid. We won’t tell anyone about this. ” Leng ruoxue explained in an understanding manner as she saw through a certain Butler’s thoughts.
“Thank you, Lord lianwu.” The Phoenix King’s confidant, the head butler, said gratefully.
After resting for a while, the head butler got up from the ground and said,””Lord lianwu, the guest courtyard is up ahead. I’ll Take You There first!”
“Alright,” he said. Leng ruoxue nodded in agreement.
When they arrived at the guest house, the head butler, King Feng’s trusted aide, made all the necessary arrangements and immediately went back to his room to recuperate. As Leng ruoxue received the gratitude of the head butler, their treatment in the guest house rose sharply.
After Leng ruoxue and the rest stayed in the guest courtyard for a few days, they were rather satisfied with the service here. With good food and drinks at their service, they would be fools if they did not enjoy it.
They were living happily, but the Phoenix King had been so depressed for the past few days that he vomited blood and almost hit the wall.
Originally, she had wanted to use the theft of the Phoenix Clan as an excuse to call back the elders who were in seclusion and those who had left home to discuss the matter. However, who knew that the elders who were in seclusion were so thoroughly closed off that she could not contact them at all. She did not dare to use forceful means to force them out of seclusion. Otherwise, if she caused those elders to be seriously injured, she would really be despised as the Phoenix King. Therefore, she had to temporarily put aside the idea of waking these elders who were in closed-door cultivation.
What made her angrier was that the elders who were in closed-door cultivation did not reply to her at all after they received the news that she had sent out. This time, the Phoenix King was completely furious!
Never in her dreams would she have thought that those elders would actually dare to disobey her orders? Were they really that unconcerned about the affairs of the Feng clan? How could the elders not react to such a big theft?
The Phoenix King was enraged, and the consequences were severe.
What she didn’t know was that most of the elders who had left home had received the news, but no one believed her. This was because all the elders knew that they couldn’t even break the defense in the treasure vault, let alone outsiders! Moreover, who would dare to steal from the Feng clan? It wasn’t like he was tired of living.
With this thought in mind, the elders who received the news all took it as an excuse for the Phoenix King to summon them back, so they naturally ignored it.
If they didn’t want to come back, the Phoenix King would have no way to vent her anger. Thus, the hot-headed Phoenix King immediately thought of Lian Wu and the others who were locked up in the guest house.
The Phoenix King didn’t even think and went straight to the guest courtyard.
When they arrived at the entrance of the guest courtyard, the Phoenix King saw the tight security and felt particularly satisfied. She couldn’t help but think to herself, Hmph! Damn you, Lian Wu. Although I didn’t manage to lock you up in the prison, you won’t be able to escape from here even if you have wings.
After thinking about this, the Phoenix King stepped into the guest courtyard.
At this moment, Leng ruoxue was lying comfortably on a deck chair in the guest courtyard’s garden, basking in the sun. Not far away, there were a few Phoenix Clan attendants serving her. Her days were extremely comfortable.
Beasts followed their master. When they saw their master enjoying the service of the Phoenix Clan, they naturally followed their master’s footsteps and found a place to lie down in the garden. There were also Phoenix Clan servants serving them by their side.
All the peacocks felt an unprecedented sense of joy when they saw the Phoenix-kind servant’s sullen face, but he had no choice but to do this and that as per their requests. It was really too satisfying, the life of ordering these phoenixes around was so satisfying.
When the Phoenix King walked into the courtyard and saw the scene in front of him, he was so angry that his lungs exploded.
F * ck! What was going on?
Why did Lian Wu and the others she locked up in the guest courtyard enjoy such good treatment?
The Phoenix King was furious. Then, she shouted,””Dammit! What are you guys doing?”
Hearing the Phoenix King’s angry roar, Leng ruoxue’s eyelids twitched slightly. She said indifferently,””Phoenix King, you’ve come to see us?”
What for? She was here to cause trouble! The Phoenix King cursed in her heart. But from the current situation, it was obvious that she was the one who was angry!
What was going on? Where’s the Butler? Was he so thoughtful as to send people to serve these prisoners?
Even though the Phoenix King had spoken nicely to Leng ruoxue and asked for their assistance in the investigation, in the Phoenix King’s heart, she had actually treated Leng ruoxue and the others as her own prisoners. Now, seeing that her prisoners were being treated like top guests, the anger in her heart instantly started to surge …
