Chapter 658: The Most Powerful Among Us!
The people from the Xie Mansion had come and left in a hurry.
“The Southeastern Xie Mansion is the same as our Qingshui Villa. They are an upper-tier force. Yet, just a single sentence from Young Master scared them away... Looks like Qingshui Villa’s reputation is becoming stronger!”
When the officials returned to their senses, they quickly flattered Xia Qingyun.
“Young master is still the most impressive. Despite the intimidation of an expert at the peak of the Mystic Martial realm, he did not show the slightest bit of fear. Rather, he bravely stepped forward... He’s truly a great hero of this era!”
Qing Wu blushed and puffed out her chest. She took a few steps forward and bowed to Xia Qingyun. “Thank you, Young Master.”
Xia Qingyun looked pleased. “Don’t worry. All of you are the officials of Qingshui Villa. It’s expected for us to protect you.”
Xia Qingying nodded and said, “It’s a good thing that Uncle Hei is here. He managed to intimidate the other party the moment they made a move. Uncle Hei, you’re really impressive. You’re indeed the strongest among us, unlike some people...”
From the corner of her eyes, she disdainfully glanced at Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan, who had not even moved. “Some people don’t even dare to spar with us... When danger comes, they even cower at the back... Hmph!”
Hei Song proudly stroked his beard. “I’m older, so I have a higher cultivation than you. What I did is only expected of me. I don’t deserve any praise.”
Lou Qianxue smirked as she heard the conversation. She then lifted her head and looked at the two of them with an ambiguous smile.
The others had not noticed or heard what the old woman behind Xie Zongyuan had said to him. However, Lou Qianxue had noticed that the old woman’s gaze had scanned her and Dan Taiyuan and that she had softly said, “Young Master, their group contains experts. If we attack, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to defeat them. It’d be bad if we end up dying here. Why don’t we wait for a little while till the Martial Arts Competition? When that person comes...”
In other words, if it were not for Dan Taiyuan, the fates of these people from Qingshui Villa would actually be very different.
However, Lou Qianxue could not be bothered to explain it to them. She closed her eyes again and pretended to sleep.

At noon the next day, everyone arrived at the venue of the Martial Arts Competition, Qing Gu Town.
“Qianxue, Qing Gu Town is the most beautiful town in Nandu Nation’s southern district. Shall I bring you around to take a look?”
As soon as they found a place to stay, Xia Qingyun invited Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxue frowned and subconsciously wanted to reject him.
However, she changed her mind at the last second.
No, if Xia Qingyun and Xia Qingying accidentally die in Qing Gu Town, half of my mission would fail. In that case, I won’t be able to get the containment fruit.
As she thought about it, she frowned. After glancing at the expressionless Dan Taiyuan, she slowly replied, “Alright.”
Xia Qingyun’s eyes gleamed in enthusiasm as a proud smile appeared on his face. He thought to himself: I stood up for Qianxue last night and displayed Qingshui Villa’s strength. Due to my abilities, Lou Qianxue is already looking at me in a different light... From the looks of it, if I put in a little more effort, I might be able to win her heart...
Then...
Xia Qingyun brought Lou Qianxue, Dan Taiyuan, and the others to meet a lot of people.
As the Martial Arts Competition was about to begin, all the people who had recently arrived at Qing Gu Town were from the formidable powers in the South of Nandu Nation.
Qingshui Villa was in the upper-middle tier, so many others tried to curry favor with their group. Xia Qingyun was able to socialize with them. However, he mostly stuck with other young masters, whose statuses were similar to him.
Among them, other than Qing Wu, who looked seductive and charming, Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan stood out the most.
Everyone familiar with Xia Qingyun could not help but ask on seeing Lou Qianxue, “That lady is so young. Could she be an official from Qingshui Villa?”
