âThen, Family Head, why did you ask Lou Qianxue to attend the Fenghua Banquet?â
âOf course, I want to see how far she has gone in the path of cultivation. And more importantly, I want to mold away her sharp arrogance. She should learn that this world contains many geniuses other than her. Didnât you see how obnoxious she was just now? She actually said that it didnât matter who I want her to defeat because they are all the same to her!!!â
âSheâs indeed weird. Although sheâs only at the ninth level of the Spirit Martial realm, her combat ability is very strong. Family Head, what if, what if she really obtains the first place?â
âFirst place? She? Do you think that is even possible?â Lou Jinglei sneered and looked at Steward Lou. Then, he walked away...
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
âQianxue, after taking the Marrow-Washing Pill, their talent has improved by a lot. They are cultivating the Earth-grade martial arts now and itâs as if they had a rebirth. They are totally different from before.â Lou Potian looked at the juniors of Qingyun Cityâs Lou family in the yard. They had tremendously improved, and he felt really satisfied.
Lou Qianxue also smiled. âOther than taking the Marrow-Washing Pill, one has to be able to endure the pain, then one has to put in hard work. Only then can one change oneâs talent... Itâs their own determination and perseverance that helped them achieve these results. I just lent them a helping hand. Thatâs all.â
As she spoke, she looked toward the yard. Her gaze fell on a certain location, and her eyes glowed a little. She strode to that place. âSister Xiaoxiao, congrats on your breakthrough.â
Lou Xiaoxiao excitedly stepped forward and hugged Lou Qianxue. âQianxue, I had a breakthrough. Iâm in the Essence Martial realm now! It feels so great! I have finally stepped into the Essence Martial realm! And, with the increase in my cultivation, my Falling Flower Sword Technique has also improved a lot. Come, Qianxue, come! I want to practice with you.â
Lou Xiaoxiao then let go of Lou Qianxue.
The smile on Lou Qianxueâs lips turned into a wry smile. âSister Xiaoxiao, if you want to practice, I will take you to a banquet in a few days to find a sparring partner. As for the two of us, letâs forget it...â
âNo way! I know that you can kill even those in the Mystic Martial realm. I donât hope to win against you. I just want to test out my cultivation resultsââ
âMiss Qianxue.â
At this moment, Steward Lou hurried over and interrupted Lou Xiaoxiao. âThere are two young masters outside the mansion who claim to be your friends, and they want to see you.â
âFriends?â Lou Qianxue was stunned. âDid they say who they are?â
âNo, but one of the young masters mentioned a âFlame Core Pact.ââ
ââFlame Core Pactâ...â Lou Qianxueâs eyes lit up. âHeâs finally here! Thatâs right, they are indeed my friends. Bring them hereâ No, I shall go to them.â
After she went to the gates and saw the two young men, Lou Qianxue was surprised at first. She then broke out in a smile. âZhuixun, I didnât expect that the person who had come with President Gongsun would be you.â
Ye Zhuixun respectfully said, âMaster.â
Gongsun Heng observed Lou Qianxue and nodded. âIt seems that you have been doing very well here.â
He then explained Ye Zhuixunâs appearance here. âI heard about the battle between you and Yan Gongqing. I saw that Ye Zhuixunâs alchemy experience was decent, so I especially kept him by my side to guide him. But you can rest assured. I donât wish to steal your apprentice. I didnât force him to come with me. He willingly came here for you.â
âMaster.â Ye Zhuixun looked at Lou Qianxue. âYou said that you would make me stronger. You wonât go back on your words, right?â
Lou Qianxue nodded. âOf course not. Come in, letâs talk inside.â
The three of them had just stepped into the Prefectural Governorâs mansion, but someone had already told Lou Jinglei about this matter.
Lou Jinglei frowned. âTwo young men? One of them even addressed Lou Qianxue as his Master? What nonsense! How old is Lou Qianxue? And sheâs already someoneâs master? Obviously, these two people arenât visionary. Donât bother reporting about such things to me in the future. Let them do as they please.â
