Chapter 627: I Knew It Would Be Like This...
The Xu family guards returned to the Xu family, feeling defeated.
“The Xu family has been looking for Lou Qianxue for days without any news. Now, when she appears right in front of us, we have no choice but to watch her leave! How annoying!” The juniors of the Xu family felt furious and indignant.
However, the family head and the elders, who held high positions in the family, remained indifferent. “No matter how outstanding she is, it’s impossible for her to surpass Tailang. I asked you to look for her earlier because she had escaped from the imperial city. Now that she has returned, let Tailang settle it himself!”
In contrast with the Xu Family, the Zhu family was more concerned.
“Lou Qianxue... A previously unknown person who suddenly reached the seventh level of the trial tower. Moreover, her alchemy and refining skills are so strong. It’s simply unbelievable!”
“That’s right! According to the information, she’s only 18! Even if she had started training and refining from birth, it’s impossible for her to have such achievements today... Could it be that she indeed possesses some valuable treasures, like what Lou Xingchen said?”
“She is strange. Rumor has it that she died two years ago, but then suddenly appeared two years later. In fact, she became even more powerful than she was two years ago...”
“If that’s the case, then...”
The Zhu family quickly came up with a feasible plan.
At the same time.
In Zhen Guogong mansion.
Dan Taiyuan, Lou Xiaoxiao, An Shaoning, and Lou Qianxue came to the mansion as guests on Chu Pengfei’s invitation.
“Today, apart from inviting you, Qianxue, my father also invited a few other alchemists who had tried to cure his illness. These masters are all famous alchemists in Tian Zhao. You guys will definitely have something in common and can enjoy a good talk.”
Lou Qianxue frowned, then relaxed. She nodded and said, “Okay.”
“Qianxue, Xiaoxiao, An Shaoning.” Chu Pengfei’s gaze paused on Dan Taiyuan’s face. Suppressing his jealousy, he said, “All of you are not outsiders. Wait here for a moment. I’ll go get my father now.”
“Alright.”
“Qianxue! Qianxue! Where have you been for the past month? You only sent a message, and there was no news after that. I was so worried!” The moment Chu Pengfei left, Lou Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked Lou Qianxue the question.
Lou Qianxue glared at Dan Taiyuan, then comforted her sister. “I wanted to learn how to refine weapons from Young Master Dan Taiyuan. I didn’t have time to bid farewell to you. I’m sorry.”
“Oh... so you learned how to refine weapons from Young Master Dan Taiyuan?” Lou Xiaoxiao snuck a glance at the handsome and expressionless Dan Taiyuan, then lowered her voice. “Were you being so sneaky because you didn’t want Grandpa to find out about you guys?”
“...” Lou Qianxue paused for a while, then asked her, “How was Grandpa doing when I was away? Did the Xu family and Mu Xueying trouble you guys because I wasn’t around?”
“No.” Lou Xiaoxiao shook her head. “As Senior Brother An took care of us, not many dared to touch us... However, because of you, Senior Brother An...”
“Huh?”
Lou Xiaoxiao told her about how Xu Tailang tried to scale the trial tower and even declared his challenge to her.
When Lou Xiaoxiao mentioned that Xu Tailang injured An Yunzhi after the latter stood up in defense of Lou Qianxue, a grim look suddenly crossed Lou Qianxue’s face. Her eyes coldly gleamed as she spat. “Xu Tailang...”
The Xu family of the imperial city!
Not only had they pestered her so when she was “Jade-Masked Blast,” but they were also being aggressive even after she returned to her original identity.
“I have implicated Senior Brother An. An Shaoning, this is a top-notch healing medicine. Help me give it to Senior Brother An. As for Xu Tailang...” Lou Qianxue scoffed. “Since he wants to fight on the life-or-death battle stage, I will give him a chance when I return to the academy! I can use this opportunity to see how powerful the top student of the Imperial Academy is!”
“...” Lou Xiaoxiao massaged her forehead. “I knew this would happen...”
As they were talking...
Suddenly!
