Lei Lifei stroked his chin.
He sighed with a hint of regret, “If Elder Lou Qi could also attend the exchange meeting this time, it would have been even livelier.”
Luo Ning couldn’t help but smile wryly at his expression—Old Lei was truly not only a joker but also loved gossip and excitement.
Luo Ranran strongly agreed with Lei Lifei’s comments, “Leave this to me, I will make sure Elder Lou Qi attends the exchange meeting this time.”
Having been suppressed by Lady Luo like that, Elder Lou Qi must have been holding his breath for a long time, and if this went on, it would affect both his health and cultivation.
People need to let out their anger for their mood to improve.
Since Elder Lou Qi had been decent to her, she naturally wanted to help him out.

Besides, with Elder Lou Qi there, Luo Ning would be able to perform better—it was a win-win.
This elder also enjoyed lively scenes.
Lei Lifei gave her an approving look, “That’s doable.”
With Elder Lou Qi tagging along, the resentment built up over so many years would definitely all be vented at once, and the Luo Family’s previous friendly gestures toward Lady Luo would immediately collapse.
No wonder the Lou Family Patriarch often wished he could throttle his daughter, and the upper echelons of the Lou Family wanted to kick Luo Ranran out.
She was the epitome of an outgoing girl, an expert at undermining her own family from within.
However, looking at it from Luo Ranran’s perspective, he could understand why she did it, as the internal politics of the Lou Family were indeed too dirty.
“But will your father listen to you? Suppressing Elder Lou Qi, he and a few other elders are the main force,” Lei Lifei wondered how Luo Ranran was planning to do it.
The Lou Family was currently very close to Lady Luo, and they certainly wouldn’t be happy to offend her.
Luo Ranran smirked, “Uncle Lei, don’t forget, my grandma is still alive.”
Her grandma, though not as doting as her grandpa had been, still treated her quite well because of her grandpa’s affection for her.
After her grandfather passed away, her grandma built a small Buddhist hall to live in and often traveled away from home, but she still had a significant influence over the Lou Family.
With just a word from her grandma, her father would have no choice but to take Elder Lou Qi to the exchange meeting this time.
Even if her father was reluctant and frustrated, he would not dare to object.
After all, her grandma’s strength was not inferior to the withdrawn clan elders, and in a family like this, power determined one’s status.
When that incident happened years ago, her grandma was away traveling, and it was over a year before she returned, otherwise Luo Ranran certainly wouldn’t have been bullied like that.
After her grandma came back, Luo Ranran spilled everything about the incident.
Then her father was fiercely whipped by her grandma, which left him bedridden for three months.
As a result, he only grew to despise his daughter even more.
And as for her older brother, since then, her grandma declared that she would never see him again, openly expressing her disdain for her grandson.
The reason why she could be so unruly within the Lou Family was not just due to her own talent and strength, but also partly because she had her grandma’s protection.
Even though her grandma had long stopped intervening in affairs, her status within the Lou Family remained very high.
She rarely asked her grandma for help, but whenever she did, her grandma never refused.
Only when Luo Ranran brought it up did Lei Lifei recall that Madam Lou used to be a woman of great fortitude and influence.
However, following Mr. Lou’s death, Madam Lou withdrew from the public eye, and little news was heard about her.
He nodded and said, “If Madam Lou takes action, this matter will definitely be successful.”
The only sensible people in the Lou Family before were Mr. Lou and Madam Lou.
Sadly, Mr. Lou’s lifespan was short, and Madam Lou, after all, wasn’t born a Lou. Her considerable strength didn’t allow her to meddle too much in the Lou Family’s affairs, which have now rotted from the roots up.
Madam Lou probably didn’t want to see her irritating son and grandson, which is why she either traveled or secluded herself in the temple, out of sight, out of mind.
Having promised to take Luo Ning and Luo Ranran to the exchange meeting, Lei Lifei let them return to rest.
After plundering for two days, Luo Ning and Luo Ranran still had their limits, so that day, they didn’t go to the arena to battle again.
This relief, the higher-ups of the Lei Family sighed in relief.
After all, when the younger generation asks to spar at the arena, their elders couldn’t simply ignore them, because not accepting a challenge was more embarrassing than losing.
Therefore, when the Lei Family’s higher-ups knew that Lei Lifei was planning to take both Luo Ning to the exchange meeting, they not only didn’t oppose it but actually clapped their hands in welcome.
They could finally send them off and keep their treasures safe; they wanted to set off firecrackers.
Let those two go and bedevil others at the exchange meeting.
The day of the exchange meeting arrived in the blink of an eye.
Lei Lifei led the people of the Lei Family and the two from the Luo Family off the island.
This time, Lei Qiu was fortunate enough to bask in the glow of the two visitors, also being brought to the exchange meeting, despite usually not having the qualifications.
But while he was excited, he couldn’t feel completely happy knowing that after the meeting, his father would pack him up and send him off with Luo Ning.
The boat sailed for just over an hour, arriving in a specific area of the sea.
Then Lei Lifei took out a token and threw it into the sea.
Instantly, a whirlpool appeared ahead.
The Lei Family’s boat headed straight towards the whirlpool and was soon engulfed by it.
The surrounding scenery changed in an instant; it was no longer an endless sea, but a vast island appeared before them, surrounded by several smaller ones.
Lei Qiu was astounded by the sight as it was his first time here.
Luo Ranran had seen it before, so she wasn’t particularly impressed.
Luo Ning knew that the reason for the sudden scene change, as if the heavens and earth had turned, was due to the Array set up at the location of the whirlpool.
In fact, this was the true appearance of the vicinity. The vast ocean they saw before was merely an illusion created by the Array.
Of course, if any ships passed by here, the Array would also push them along, steering the vessels naturally past the islands without crashing onto them.
The large island was quite prosperous, and it was built like an ancient city.
After disembarking, Lei Lifei led everyone onto a carriage reserved for the Lei Family’s use.
The exchange meeting wouldn’t officially start until two hours later, so they went to rest at the Lei Family’s residence first.
However, it wasn’t a secret who brought whom to the meeting, and the list of participants soon lay on the desks of the Family Heads and senior members of various families.
When they saw that Lei Lifei had come this time, the Family Heads all felt a bit of a headache.
This Acting Family Head was very lively, and without Old Master of Lei Family to restrain him, he liked stirring up trouble.
They had no idea what was going through Old Lei’s mind, to let this one lead on his behalf.
As they continued to look at the list of the Lei Family’s attendees, the senior members of the Lou and Luo Families felt even more of a headache, cursing the Old Master of the Lei Family for his inhumanity.
No wonder he didn’t come himself; he had stuffed two little calamities with the great calamity to bring here.
Meanwhile, the members of other families, upon seeing the names of Luo Ning and Luo Ranran, couldn’t help but feel schadenfreude, eager to see the Lou and Luo families make a spectacle.
This exchange meeting was bound to be interesting; they couldn’t help but look forward to it.
