Chapter 616: Fight Till The End!
“They are finally going to start the bet! It has been many years since anyone in the Imperial City dared to bet their lives on weapons!” The crowd got excited.
However...
“Lou Qianxue, how dare you murder the Xu Family Head Guard! Get over here and face death!”
The people from the Xu Family who had blocked Lou Qianxue previously angrily rushed toward her. They glared at Lou Qianxue with ferocious eyes full of hatred.
A commotion broke out in the crowd. “Killed the Xu Family Head Guard? Lou Qianxue... really has the guts to offend anyone!”
Master Lan, who had arrived first, showed a strange expression. “Lou Qianxue... it’s actually her...”
“Huh?” Gong Sunyu raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest. “What do you mean?”
Master Lan furrowed his eyebrows. “I don’t know what method she used to deceive you to value her so greatly, but... she’s just all talk.”
The expression in Gong Sunyu’s eyes was cold. “Is it so? Tell me, what did she do for you to have such an opinion about her?”
“You may not know this, but a while ago, I went to the Refinery Union to ask Master Meng for an assistant to create new weapons for the military. At the refinery room, I saw a rather remarkable sword and told Master Meng to introduce it to me. The person who created that sword was Lou Qianxue.”
“Oh? Since it’s so, shouldn’t you admire her?”
“Yes, and initially, I did. But later, I found out that she was not even the one who had created the sword. It was a Spirit Item she had prepared in advance so that she could blend in to train at the Refinery Union. Also, since she was afraid of being exposed, she went against Master Meng and Young Master Lu Liang. She made a bet with Young Master Lu Liang to get out, then escaped to another place...”
“Haha, so do you think Miss Lou has really escaped?” Gong Sunyu looked at Master Lan. He seemed like he was laughing but not quite so.
Master Lan was shocked. He recalled Lou Qianxue’s performance along the way, and his expression changed. Putting on a tough front, he insisted. “Even if she did not intend to escape, she has never practiced weapon refinery and she also has no talents. There is no way that she can obtain victory against Young Master Lu, who has been refining weapons for years!”
With deep eyes, Gong Sunyu looked at Lou Qianxue, who was on the stage. “She is not as stupid as you make it sound. Although I think that she’s unlikely to win as well, deep down, I still can’t help but look forward to it. Maybe, a miracle will happen...”
As the two of them spoke, a young man with a gloomy face stood out from the crowd and forcefully stopped the Xu family’s guards. “The Xu family is not the only one who has a feud with Lou Qianxue! Since Lou Qianxue has agreed to gamble with Young Master Lu, she can’t escape. She can only die at the hands of Young Master Lu Liang and the Zhu family! If the Xu family wants to get hold of her, let Xu Tailang come and do it!”
This young man was the second person from the younger generation of the Zhu Family and the younger brother of Zhu Chongba. He was one of the eight young renowned masters of the Imperial City, Zhu Xiangyang.
“You...” The Xu Family imperial guard glared at Zhu Xiangyang but did not dare to take action. He just stood at the side feeling aggrieved.
Zhu Xiangyang then turned around and glared at Lou Qianxue. “Hey! Lou Qianxue, you killed my younger sister and even announced that you want to get rid of the Zhu Family! I don’t care if you can refine weapons. Even if you win against Lu Liang today, I, Zhu Xiangyang, will let you die without a burial place!”
Seeing this, all the students from the Imperial Academy, who had come to watch the game, retreated a few steps to keep a distance from Lou Xiaoxiao and the juniors of the Lou Family.
Lou Xiaoxiao and the Lou family juniors were angry and frustrated, but they were helpless.
Lou Qianxue stood on stage with her hands together. She faintly swept her eyes across the crowd. As her gaze paused on Zhu Xiangyang and the Xu family, a cynical expression appeared on her face. Then, she looked at Lu Liang. “Alright, no one will bother us from the bet now. No matter how you want to bet today, I, Lou Qianxue, will fight till the end!”
