Chapter 4809 — A Conspiracy in the Private Box

"This…" The several men exchanged glances, and none spoke. In the end it was Yi Xiaotian who broke the silence. "Brother Ren, I understand how you feel, but with our combined strength we can barely handle a single Wei Zhao, let alone now that there's a Leng fellow in the mix as well. I'm afraid there's no good way."
Dealing with Wei Zhao alone had already left them at their wits' end, and back then they had been just as helpless against a single Leng Rufeng. Now that these two monsters had joined forces and come together as a formidable pair, how were they supposed to manage?
The others looked at one another in silence. Compared to Wei Zhao, they actually feared Leng Rufeng more. After all, this creature's strength was simply too great—within the academy's disciples he was virtually an invincible existence, and everyone stood in awe of him.
The title of Cold-Faced Blade God had been carved out one slash at a time. Apart from a clueless hothead like Wei Zhao who knew nothing of the world, there was not a single opponent across all of Xiangyun Academy who could match him. Ordinary people would drop to their knees in terror the moment they heard his name—otherwise, back when the few of them had conceived the idea of killing with a borrowed blade, they would never have thought of this creature so instantly!
Ren Zhongyuan furrowed his brows and brooded for a long while. A moment later he suddenly spoke. "What if we wait until the Leng fellow has left?"
"Wait until he's gone?" Yi Xiaotian was startled, then clapped his hands. "Right! That brat Wei Zhao is clever only to be undone by his own cleverness. He meant to use the Beauty Pill and the Thunder Profound Pill to win Leng Rufeng over, but in truth he's only spinning a cocoon around himself. Leng Rufeng would have stayed honestly at the academy as their bodyguard, but once Yang Qianshuang has restored her looks and her strength—heh heh!"
"Exactly! Brother Ren and Brother Yi are truly brilliant. When that time comes, Leng Rufeng will surely return to the Profound-Tier Sea Region!" Li Yuzhou hastened to flatter them.
"Yes, yes. The Profound-Tier Sea Region holds an unparalleled allure for experts of their caliber. A self-regarding genius like Leng Rufeng would never be content to stay behind as a mere bodyguard—he'll absolutely try every means to get back to the Profound-Tier Sea Region!" Sun Baolu chimed in.
"Quite so. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even ten years hence. We need only endure through this period, and it will not be too late to move against Wei Zhao then!" A venomous light flickered in Ren Zhongyuan's eyes. If there were any possibility, of course he did not want to endure—but there was no help for it now. Reality forced him to endure, unless his own father, Ren Tiansuo, was willing to take action, and that possibility was pitifully slim.
If the delay dragged on too long, they might not be able to wait it out, but two or three months was no great problem.
"Uh… Brother Ren, Brother Yi, this plan is good and all, but there's a flaw in it. What if that brat Wei Zhao can't wait two months and leaves first?" Li Yuzhou said cautiously.
"Fool! That's simple enough. The monk may run, but the temple can't. So long as Ning Xuefei is still here, what does it matter if that brat Wei Zhao leaves? We need only apply a little scheme and arrange for Ning Xuefei to suffer some 'accident' that leaves her gravely injured—do you think he won't come rushing over then? Hmph hmph!" Ren Zhongyuan sneered without end.
The group immediately exchanged looks and burst into laughter. The title of Western Island's consort was enviable enough to make one's mouth water, but at certain times it was also nothing short of a burden. So long as they had Ning Xuefei in their grasp, it was the same as having Wei Zhao in their grasp.
"There won't be any risk in this, will there?" Li Yuzhou reminded him cautiously.
