Chapter 581: Bet His Life On Weapons
“Master!”
“What! Did I hear wrongly? Master Meng actually lectured Young Master Lu Liang because of Lou Qianxue?”
“Who’s Master Meng’s disciple? Lou Qianxue or Young Master Lu Liang?”
Chu Pengfei also stepped backward and glanced at Lou Qianxue in shock.
However, Lou Qianxue did not look surprised. With a calm expression, she cast a gaze at Master Meng.
“Miss Lou, this good-for-nothing disciple of mine went overboard just now. Please don’t take it to heart. After all, you killed his beloved fiancee. It’s natural for him to hate you.”
“So?” Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows and asked Master Meng as she looked at him.
“Since there is hatred, you have to think of a way to resolve it,” Master Meng said with a smile. “I’m very interested in you. If there’s animosity between the both of you, it’d be difficult to handle many matters.”
“This is right! No matter what, Young Master Lu Liang is Master Meng’s disciple. Will Master Meng watch his own disciple get bullied?”
“But... Master Meng’s attitude toward Lou Qianxue is really strange.”
The crowd doubtfully looked at them.
However, Lou Qianxue remained tranquil. “Resolve our hatred? How should we resolve it?”
“I feel that both of you should settle the grievances yourselves. Second Young Master Chu and I shouldn’t interfere. What do you think?”
Lou Qianxue nodded. “Yes.”
Chu Pengfei’s face fell. He was about to speak when Lou Qianxue shook her head at him. Hence, he could only swallow the words that he wanted to say.
“Lu Liang.” Master Meng looked at Lu Liang. “You’re my disciple. Your fiance was killed, but I’m unable to take revenge for you. I hope that you won’t hate me.”
“I wouldn’t dare.”
“Then I’ll ask you what kind of method you want to use to resolve your grievances with Miss Lou?”
“... Looks like a master and a disciple are after all a master and a disciple... Master Meng still favors Young Master Lu Liang.”
“Yeah!”
Lu Liang stared at Lou Qianxue with bloodshot eyes and bit his teeth. “I... I...”
“Yeah? What do you want?”
Lou Qianxue coldly watched the both of them conversing.
“I’m a refiner! I’ll naturally use weapons to uphold my dignity. Lou Qianxue, I want to use my life to bet with you on weapons. Do you dare to accept it?”
“Bet his life on weapons?”
Lou Qianxue froze for a while. She looked at Chu Pengfei and asked, “Do you know what this is?” As she thought of the alchemy battles in Lingxi Prefecture, she paused. “Could it be...”
Everyone else also froze, then reacted in shock.
“Bet his life on weapons?”
“It’s indeed reasonable, but also unexpected!”
“Yes, Young Master Lu Liang is proficient in weapon refinery. Hence, it’s reasonable for him to bet his life on weapons. However, Young Master Lu Liang is a weapon refinery genius. Him betting his life on weapons with an alchemist... is a loss of demeanor and is really unexpected.”
“Looks like Young Master Lu Liang really hates Lou Qianxue. He’s not leaving any way for her to survive.”
“Since he wants them to bet their lives on weapons, the loser will lose his life! Looks like Young Master Lu Liang wants Lou Qianxue to die! It’s just that...”
The crowd looked at Lou Qianxue one after another. “It’s just that I wonder what her decision would be.”
“Miss Lou, betting your life on weapons means to use your life as a bet for the competition. The person who refines a weapon of a higher grade and increases the offensive capability of the weapon more will win,” Master Meng explained.
“Oh... So Young Master Lu Liang, a proper, direct disciple of Master Meng and one of the eight renowned young masters in the Imperial city, wants to use his life to bet on weapons and compete with me, a young lady who has never learned weapon refinery?” Lou Qianxue chuckled. “Tsk! A person who’s shameless to this extent is an eye-opener!”
“You! Lou Qianxue, if you don’t dare accept it, say so. Don’t talk rubbish here!”
