Lan Ziye looked at the Bing Xin Orchid again. She remembered that when her third brother planted the Bing Xin Orchid, he put some essence stones in the flowerpot to provide spiritual energy.

In this era, Essence Stones are so valuable that they can only be bought at auctions. The Chu family probably won't use Essence Stones to grow Ice Heart Orchids, so they can only use spiritual energy to create the instrument.

Thinking of this, Lan Ziye smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm very poor and don't have that much money to buy a spiritual energy generator. Even if Mr. Chu gave me a whole pot of ice orchid this time, I wouldn't accept it because I can't afford to keep it!"

Jin Ruoxi looked at the Ice Heart Orchid with bewilderment. Did growing Ice Heart Orchids require specific soil? Did cultivating plants require spiritual energy? A storyteller, right? How come she had never heard of this before?

But even if she had a million doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to question them in front of Mr. Chu and Chu Xixuan. What if what Lan Ziye said was true? (ー_ー)!!

Sure enough, there was doubt in Mr. Chu's eyes, and he turned to look at Jin Ruoxi.

Jin Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that what Lan Ziye said was true? (⊙?⊙)

Thoughts raced, Jin Ruoxi put on a pitiful expression and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I didn't know Bing Xinlan had so many habits!" Then, she glared at Lan Ziye and demanded, "You had no intention of plucking Bing Xinlan, so why did you tell me you wanted to? What exactly is your intention?"

Lan Ziye really couldn't help but applaud Jin Ruoxi. Her brain was so quick and her acting skills were simply at the pinnacle!

Lan Ziye looked at Jin Ruoxi coldly and said, "Then what do you think my intentions are?"

Jin Ruoxi lowered her head in feigned fear, looking as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare.

Lan Ziye smiled calmly and said, "You don't mean to say that I said this to lure you to pull me over, so that I can have the opportunity to push you down, right?"

"Hehehe!" Lan Ziye said this, then he held his stomach and laughed.

After a burst of laughter, Lan Ziye looked at Chu Xixuan and Old Man Chu with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "Sorry! It was really too funny, I couldn't help it just now!"

At this point, Lan Ziye's smile suddenly faded. He looked at Jin Ruoxi coldly and said, "Believe it or not, I can kill you from a distance, not to mention pushing you down. I can even do it without leaving any trace." After a pause, Lan Ziye continued, "Besides, I have a habit of either not taking action or, if I do, it's blood! These painless little tricks of yours are too boring!"

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Remember to be harder on yourself next time!" Lan Ziye said as he approached Jin Ruoxi.

Jin Ruoxi now wanted to tear Lan Ziye's mouth apart. She actually underestimated her by being able to quibble like this. However, it was also good this way. At least it let her grandfather know how cruel and hateful Lan Ziye was.

Lan Ziye looked at Jin Ruoxi's face, which was turning pale and blue, and her anger finally subsided. She looked at Chu Xixuan and said, "I think you won't be in any danger in your own home. I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, Lan Ziye strode out of the garden, not caring at all about the reactions of the remaining three people.

Chu Xixuan didn't even think twice and immediately caught up with Lan Ziye and said, "I'll go with you!"

Jin Ruoxi felt even more aggrieved as she looked at the two men's backs. From beginning to end, Brother Chu never said a word to help her.
