Half an hour later.
Lou Qianxue pushed open the door and came out.
The gold-masked man rushed up to her. âHow did it go, Miss Lou?â
Lou Qianxue nodded. âI planted a wisp of the Abnormal Fire in Scarlet-maskedâs dantian. If he carefully cultivates it, it would not be difficult for him to resist the coldness in the Three-Yin constitution.â
âRe... Really?â Tears streamed down the gold-masked manâs face. âAll these years, Young Master suffered so much after being poisoned by the cold. Everyone said that he wonât survive. But you, you thought of a solution to suppress the poison of the cold. Now, itâs you again who...â
The gold-masked man paused and calmed himself down. âNo matter what, youâre the great benefactor of the Gate of Seven Kills. Regardless of what help you need in the future, just tell us. The Gate of Seven Kills will definitely assist you to the best of our abilities, even to our deaths!â
âOkay. Now, I have something I need your help for.â
Lou Qianxue took off her hat and revealed her terrifying face, which had been damaged by the poisonous flames.
When the gold-masked man saw her face, he gasped. âThis... Miss Lou, you... What happened?â
Two years ago, Lou Qianxue was a beautiful young woman!
âYou see this, right! I canât really see anyone with a face like that. I heard that the masks of the Gate of Seven Kills are unique. Can you have some masks made for me as well?â
Regaining his senses, the gold-masked man suppressed his shock. âOf course. However, do you want a mask thatâs similar to ours? Or do you have your own ideas?â
âI donât mind anything as long as people donât identify me as an assassin.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright.â
While they spoke, the girl dressed in yellow robes gradually walked forward. When she saw Lou Qianxueâs face, she started screaming.
Lou Qianxue frowned and wore her hat again.
The girl instantly recognized her and fiercely stood up. âItâs you! Little b*tch. How dare you make gold-masked treat me like that? You!â
âMiss Ning Shang,â The gold-masked man strictly warned her, âI acted on my own accord. It has nothing to do with Miss Lou. Please be more courteous toward her. She saved Young Masterâs life.â
âWhat did you say?â The girl furiously widened her eyes, unwilling to believe him. âShe saved Brother Shiâs life? How is that possible?â
âYou can see if itâs true or not once you go in and take a look. Young Master has recovered now.â
âI donât believe you!â The girl ran into the room in disbelief. After a while, she happily exclaimed, âBrother Shi, youâre awake?â
***
Lou Qianxue stayed at the Gate of Seven Kills for a day to wait for her mask.
During this time, she learned about what happened two years ago.
âThe flame person indeed spread nonsensical rumors about my death.
âHowever, Xiaoxiao and Zhuixun offended him because of me. Now that they are in the Imperial City with him, I wonder if that vicious man would make their lives difficult. Hmph! Flame person! When I go to the Imperial City this time, Iâll kill him and take revenge for Gong Sunheng!
âAlso... It has been two years. Only one year is left before I finish my three-year-long promise with Lou Xingchen. Itâs time we settled the scores between us!â
Lou Qianxue fell into a trance as she thought of going to the imperial city.
Suddenly...
âQianxue.â
The scarlet-masked man, who had rapidly recovered and was now extremely energetic, briskly walked over with a smile. There was a mask in his hands. âThis is the mask you asked Gold-masked to make for you. Take a look to see if itâs suitable.â
Lou Qianxue took the mask and glanced at him. âI remember that in the past you would just call out my full name.â
The scarlet-masked manâs pretty eyes curved, and a charming look appeared in them. âArenât you my benefactor now? Since youâre one of us now, we naturally need to be closer.â
