No way?
This girl is leaving just like that?
Is she not going to show some face to the Prefectural Governor?
This is the first time that someone left early at the Prefectural Governor’s dinner…
This rascal is too arrogant!
Everyone watched in shock as Lou Qianxue and her companions left. They wondered if something was wrong with her brain!
However, to avoid making it awkward for the Prefectural Governor, everyone put away their shocked expressions. They pretended that they hadn’t seen someone ignoring the Governor’s face just like that.
The gazes made Lou Qianxue feel as if sharp knives were stabbing her back. Yet, she walked out confidently with her back straight and left the Governor’s mansion.
The moment they stepped out of the door, Lou Xiaoxiao relaxed her tense shoulders.
She reached out and wiped the sweat on her forehead. “Qianxue, why did you leave early? You didn’t give the Prefectural Governor face! Did you not see how awkward his face had become?”
Lou Qianxue paused and turned toward Xiaoxiao. “Yeah, I offended the Prefectural Governor. Not only so, but I also offended the Su Family, the An Family of Baiyue City, and Xu Miaoyan from the Alchemy Union… Why do you still dare to come out with me? Are you not afraid that they would hate you?”
Lou Xiaoxiao was surprised at first, but then she humphed. “Do you think that I, Lou Xiaoxiao, am like Lou Xingchen? Let me tell you. I hit it off with you. If I like someone, I would support them even if I have to receive knives in my back.”
Lou Qianxue glanced at her clothes that were drenched in sweat. Then, her expression softened a little. “I also hit it off with you, Xiaoxiao. When we return later, I will show you something.”
“What is it?”
“You’ll know when we get there.”
The memory of the God of War contained countless high-level martial arts. Many of them were suitable for Lou Xiaoxiao, but Lou Qianxue hadn’t given them to Lou Xiaoxiao because she was testing her.
After her encounter with Lou Xingchen, she had trust issues deep down.
Lou Qianxue had given the two brothers Li Wen and Li Wu those martial arts because they were sincere enough to save her life. Also, they had a special physique. Therefore, she had reciprocated the kindness when she saw them doing something that she enjoyed as well.
She had told Leng Qianhan about the Pagoda Sword Tactic to bribe him.
As for Lou Xiaoxiao…
When Lou Qianxue wasn’t around, Lou Xiaoxiao had cleaned her house in case she came back.
For Lou Qianxue, she had fought with Su Mingyang and argued with everyone else. Even when Lou Xiaoxiao had been beaten up all over, she still picked Lou Qianxue’s side.
No matter who Lou Qianxue had a conflict with, Lou Xiaoxiao was always by her side…
In the past, Lou Xingchen had been good at pretending. Lou Qianxue was afraid that Lou Xiaoxiao would be another Lou Xingchen. But tonight, Lou Xiaoxiao still chose to stick with her despite being so scared of the Prefectural Governor that her clothes were drenched in sweat…
Lou Qianxue felt that there was no need to test her any longer.
Lou Xiaoxiao looked at Lou Qianxue with great suspicion. “What good stuff do you have? Why are you so mysterious about it?”
Lou Qianxue laughed and did not answer.
As the trio walked on the dark road, a cool breeze suddenly blew past.
Feeling cold, Lou Qianxue paused in her footsteps and softly spoke something to Lou Xiaoxiao and Leng Qianhan. Then, she walked toward a stranded alley alone.
Suddenly…
A dark silhouette followed Lou Qianxue and entered the alley.
However, it saw Lou Qianxue standing there with a calm expression. She looked so calm and relaxed as if she were waiting for a friend.
The dark figure was shocked, but the next moment, he charged at Lou Qianxue with a dagger in hand.
“Qianhan.” Lou Qianxue did not even move and just ordered, “Kill him!”
She had recognized the dagger.
It was from the Gate of Seven Kills!
Seems like some people never give up!
