Chapter 943: The Savior (5)
“In any case, you must not bring such a filthy person into the inn,” The innkeeper said with an air of refusal to bend the rules. In the last few days, he had heard of beggars lying in a street, but many seemed to have chosen to ignore them. Why did these people have to meddle? The innkeeper could not understand.
“Shopkeeper, don’t be so heartless! Haven’t you heard that saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda! As long as you show mercy, you will definitely be rewarded.” Feng Da coaxed.
“That won’t do! With him around, it will affect my business.” The shopkeeper still refused to give in, and he was even more unwilling to let Feng Da bring this trouble to his shop.
When Leng Ruoxue and the others arrived downstairs, they happened to see Feng Da arguing with the shopkeeper, so they pretended to be puzzled and asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
“Miss, we saved someone on the street. The shopkeeper refused to let us bring him to the guest shop,” Feng Da quickly complained, looking aggrieved.
“The shopkeeper is afraid that you will affect his business. Well! It’s not wrong for him to think that way.” Leng Ruoxue smiled and explained on behalf of the shopkeeper.
When the shopkeeper heard Leng Ruoxue’s words, he was so touched that he almost cried!
Finally, someone understood him. It hadn’t been easy.
“Then what should we do? We can’t just leave him in the lurch! He’s very pitiful,” Feng Da said awkwardly. He looked at the thing in his hand. It didn’t seem appropriate to put it anywhere.
“Shopkeeper, since my subordinates discovered him and brought him back, you can’t let us throw this person out, right? I believe that you’re not such a heartless person, so how about this? Please be magnanimous and let us keep this person. I’ll pay double the room fee.” Leng Ruoxue praised the shopkeeper simply and then suggested.
“Alright then! I’ll let him stay for the sake of Miss! However, don’t let him run around! He’ll scare the other customers in the shop with his current appearance.” Such a peerless beauty’s soft request was really impossible for the shopkeeper to refuse! Therefore, he agreed after some thought. After all, she was willing to pay double the room fee!
“Thank you, shopkeeper. Please help him get a room!” Leng Ruoxue said with a faint smile.
“Alright,” the shopkeeper agreed readily. Then he arranged a room for the ‘beggar’ and kept muttering, “You’ve met a good person.”
After returning to her room, Leng Ruoxue asked Feng Da to send medicine to the ape. However, she did not intend to cure all the apes, so the pill could only guarantee that the ape would wake up.
“Miss, the ape is awake,” Feng Da said when he returned.
“Okay, let’s go see him!” Leng Ruoxue chuckled and left the room.
When they arrived at the door of the ape room, Leng Ruoxue and the others pushed open the door and walked straight in.
The ape, who was lying on the bed, immediately turned his head when he heard the sound. When he saw the peerless beauty in the room, he revealed an extremely stunned gaze. If it weren’t for the fact that his body was inconvenient, he would have pounced on her long ago!
Where did such a beauty come from! She was really too beautiful! Ape couldn’t help but praise in his heart. His heart had long flown to Leng Ruoxue’s side, and his lecherous eyes were firmly glued to her body.
“You’re awake?” Leng Ruoxue asked knowingly and resisted the urge to punch him because this man’s gaze was really annoying.
“Well, you are?” the ape asked politely, pretending to be a gentleman, but his eyes were already betraying the filthy thoughts that ran through his mind.
“My surname is Ning,” Leng Ruoxue said casually.
“So it’s Miss Ning. Thank you for saving me. I will definitely repay you well,” the ape said gratefully. He was even more pleasantly surprised because he did not expect his savior to be the famous Miss Ning. Miss Ning’s beauty was second to none in the Divine Continent. However, he had never had the chance to see her. He did not expect that he would be saved by Miss Ning, whom he had admired for a long time. He could not help but feel a little light-headed looking at the peerless beauty in front of him.
“Miss Ning, why did you ccome to the Ascender Alliance and not stay in the Ning family’s Divine Realm?” The ape asked curiously.
Even though there were often conflicts between ascenders and natives, the opposition between any faction was not absolute.
There would be conflict between them, but there would also be benefits.
He was ignorant and incompetent but his many years of experience in the Ascender Alliance made him very clear about the interests of the various forces. Therefore, he naturally did not treat this devastatingly beautiful woman as an enemy.
Leng Ruoxue was stunned when she heard the ape’s words. Uh! She didn’t expect the ape to treat her as the young lady of the Ning family. Even though she had just casually said her surname, this accident gave her a better inspiration.
Thinking of this, Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help but say with a worried expression, “I want to refine an equipment for my father as a gift, but I haven’t been able to find the best weapon artificer in the Divine Continent. I’ve been looking for him for a long time. Recently, I heard that he once appeared in the Ascender Alliance, so I came to try my luck.”
“A craftsman? Miss Ning, our Ascender Alliance has several artificers who are very good. Why don’t I get them to help you refine equipment!” The ape said fawningly.
“Our Ning family has an artificer, but my father only likes the equipment refined by His Excellency Leng Xiaoyu, so I’ve been looking for him. I want to make Father happy because Father has been worried about my marriage recently!” Leng Ruoxue deliberately pretended to be guilty of her daughter.
“Miss Ning’s marriage?” The ape probed.
“Yes! I’m not young anymore. Father is looking for a husband for me!” Leng Ruoxue said shyly, but she was sweating in her heart! Uh! It was really not easy to act like a young girl in love!
“If someone can help me find Leng Xiaoyu’s whereabouts and have his help on refining weapons, Father will definitely be very happy. He might even marry me to him!” Leng Ruoxue continued to throw out a huge bait.
“Miss Ning, does it have to be Leng Xiaoyu?” The ape said with some difficulty. He was also very regretful in his heart. Sigh! That Leng Xiaoyu had a grudge against him! He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to order her around. He knew this very well.
“Yes, my father wants only him,” Leng Ruoxue said with certainty.
“However, I also know that it’s not easy to hire Leng Xiaoyu, so if someone knows Leng Xiaoyu’s whereabouts and informs me, Father will be very happy to know,” Leng Ruoxue added.
Hearing Leng Ruoxue’s words, Ape fell silent. He was even more conflicted because he knew Leng Xiaoyu’s whereabouts, but his father had repeatedly ordered him not to tell anyone, so he was very hesitant.
Leng Ruoxue saw that the ape was silent and did not disturb him because she knew that the ape needed time to think. It was probably not a glorious thing for the old ancestor to be imprisoned by the Alliance Master.
After thinking for a long time, the ape made up his mind and finally made a final decision. Sigh! He would risk everything for his future happiness.
“Miss Ning, I know where Leng Xiaoyu is, but he has angered my father because of something, so he is being punished! I don’t know if my father will let him help you refine weapons.” The ape deliberately pretended to be troubled. Even though he liked to bully the weak, he was not stupid at all. He knew very well what to say and what not to say. The real reason why Leng Xiaoyu was locked up could not be said.
“Oh, I wonder who is your father?” Leng Ruoxue’s face was full of question marks.
“My father is the Alliance Master of the Ascender Alliance of the Divine Continent,” the ape said proudly.
“So you’re the Alliance Master’s young master! Sorry for being disrespectful,” Leng Ruoxue said in realization.
“Hehe, Miss Ning, you’re too polite. You’re my savior!” The ape said shyly.
“Young Master Yuan, you don’t have to be too polite. Anyone who passed by would have helped you.” Leng Ruoxue chuckled.
“I wonder if you can introduce me to the next Alliance Master? I believe I can convince the Alliance Master to order Lord Leng Xiaoyu to refine weapons for my father,” Leng Ruoxue said with certainty.
