Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Who Sent You Here?

When the owner clad in black robes settled Lou Qianxue’s and Ye Zhuixun’s bills, his expression turned ugly.

As he did not have enough blood ginseng, he paid a lot of money to Lou Qianxue.

After giving them everything, the owner felt extremely exhausted and deprived.

In the end, when Lou Qianxue and Ye Zhuixun were about to leave, the audience was reluctant to see them go.

“Miss Jade-Masked Blast, when will you come back?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Can you leave after a few more fights?”

“If you fight again, we’ll definitely bet on you!”

“Yeah! We’ll definitely bet on you!”

Only after the two of them left did the life-or-death battle stage’s surroundings become quiet again.

“What will you do next, Master?”

“I’m going to the Imperial City!” Lou Qianxue said with a smile. “I’ve already received admission to the Imperial Academy. I’m planning to become your classmate. How’s that?”

“Really?! If I knew about this earlier, I wouldn’t have signed up for the Alchemy Competition.”

“But the Alchemy King Mansion is one of the strongest powers in the Eastern region. You’ll definitely learn a lot of things there that you won’t learn in the academy.”

“You’re right. I have one request. Can you stay and watch me finish the Alchemy Competition before going to the Imperial City?”

Lou Qianyue paused for a while. “I need to report at the Imperial Academy by the end of this month. When will the Alchemy Competition end?”

“It won’t take long, Master. The Alchemy Competition will start tomorrow and end within three days. Moreover, you have a dragon horse, so you can reach the Imperial City within three or four days.”

After calculating the time, Lou Qianxue agreed. “Okay, then I’ll stay behind and watch you. I’m looking forward to seeing how much you’ve improved in the past two years.” When she spoke, her expression suddenly turned serious, and a strange look appeared on her face. “Huh?”

“Master?” Ye Zhuixun confusedly looked at Lou Qianxue.

A cold smirk appeared on Lou Qianxue’s lips. “Follow me.”

Ye Zhuixun remained stunned for a while, but he soon realized what was happening. With a serious expression, he quietly followed Lou Qianxue to a remote alley.

“B*tch! Bastard! You two have just walked into hell! Prepare to die!” A group of men dressed in black suddenly appeared. Their auras were hostile, and they viciously attacked Lou Qianxue and Ye Zhuixun!

“How hilarious!” Lou Qianxue scoffed. “I don’t care who sent you here. You’ll all die today!

“The Storm Form!”

“Wild Lion Roar!” Ye Zhuixun also took action.

In just a few minutes...

All of the men had collapsed on the floor, and blood had dyed the ground red. Only two or three of the men were still alive.

Stepping on a man’s back, Lou Qianxue coldly asked, “Who sent you here?”

“Spare... Spare me! Spare me, please!” The man dressed in black was terrified. After Lou Qianxue started interrogating him, he immediately confessed, “The Xu Family! We are from the Xu Family! Ma’am, please forgive—”

At the next moment.

Whoosh!

A frosty sword directly stabbed into his body.

With a cold look in her eyes, Lou Qianxue said, “Did you think that I’d spare you if you confess?”

In a split second, all of the men dressed in black died.

Lou Qianxue frowned. “Xu... This surname sounds quite familiar.”

Ye Zhuixun reminded Qianxue with a serious expression, “The surname of Ye Manpo’s grandfather is Xu!”

“Oh! That fourth-grade alchemist who I killed!” Lou Qianxue nodded. “Looks like I have to watch you participate in the Alchemy competition. Since the Xu Family attacked once, they’ll attack a second time too. However...”

Lou Qianxue paused for a moment, then looked at Ye Zhuixun. “Shouldn’t you tell me why you have a grudge against Ye Manpo?”

“...”
