Xu Miaoyan had arrived at the banquet early, and Lou Qianyue had greeted her at that time. Lou Qianyue had the solemn look of a main family member from the Prefectural Governor’s mansion. Although Xu Miaiyan was unaware of Lou Qianyue’s identity, she knew that Lou Qianyue was not someone who could be easily slapped in front of everyone.
But that girl from the clothing shop, who had forced her to crawl out, had slapped Lou Qianyue so fiercely that Qianyue fell to the ground?
How? On what basis is she being so presumptuous and so overbearing?
Isn’t she merely a bumpkin from a small city?
Everyone in the palace was shocked by this loud slap, and they could not help themselves from softly discussing it.
“Who are they?”
“I didn’t expect that beautiful girl to be so unruly and domineering. She slapped someone so mercilessly in front of everyone?”
“I don’t know which small city she came from. Doesn’t know the rules.”
“She created trouble in the Prefectural Governor’s mansion? She has got too much guts? Just watch, someone from the Prefectural Governor’s mansion will come forward in a short while and chase her out.”
Lou Qianyue had also become muddled.
The slap had sent her ears rumbling, and she felt dizzy. After a while, she came back to her senses and sensed a piercing pain in her face. Her beautiful face immediately distorted in an expression that seemed to straight hell. She furiously stared at Lou Qianxue. “Lou Qianxue, you b*tch! You dared to hit me!”
Lou Qianyue struggled to get up and then pounced at Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxue coldly kicked her with one leg. “What? You want me to allow you to maliciously send someone to divert me away and make me late? And allow you to remove my seat in front of everyone to make me look bad? But you don’t want a slap in return?”
The onlookers finally understood what the matter was.
“No wonder she came so late, arrived just when the banquet was about to start.”
“She looks so refined and well-mannered, not like an unruly person. So she had a reason for hitting her.”
“This is such a small banquet, but that girl used so many vicious methods. Her thoughts are too dirty. She deserved to get slapped!”
The voices pricked Lou Qianyue’s heart like fine needles. She became ashamed and furious. Her anger boiled over. As she pathetically crawled up from the ground, she shouted and attacked Lou Qianxue.
“Qianhan.”
Lou Qianxue could not be bothered with her this time and directly called for Leng Qianhan.
Leng Qianhan knew what to do. Like an eagle catching a chick, he grabbed Lou Qianyue and dragged her. Amid Lou Qianyue’s cursing, he threw her out…
A few people from the aristocratic families, the Mercenary Union, the Alchemy Union, the Refinery Union, and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in Liuyun Prefecture finally recognized Leng Qianhan. They sucked their breaths in one after another.
“It’s him! The strongest mercenary, Leng Qianhan!”
“Who is this girl? She can order Leng Qianhan around?”
“Wasn’t it said that Leng Qianhan was obstinate and unruly and that he never accepts solicitation from any forces? Why did he… ”
Besides Xu Miaoyan, the eyes of these important people flickered non-stop. They continuously calculated Lou Qianxue’s value in their hearts.
“She has Leng Qianhan as her backing. It was no wonder that she dared to hit someone in the Prefectural Governor’s mansion…”
It was apparent that although Lou Qianxue had just shown up and hadn’t displayed any astonishing talents yet, these people already wanted to win her over. It was so due to only one reason: she could give orders to the strongest mercenary, Leng Qianhan.
He was such a powerful expert of the Mystic Martial realm that the whole Liuyun Prefecture practically looked up to him!
However, they still needed to observe him, and see what exactly was the relationship between that girl and Leng Qianhan.
After having Lou Qianyue thrown out, Lou Qianxue went forward to the seat that had been occupied by Lou Qianyue and sat down.
