“Miss Lou, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you. I’m Li Tingtao, the young master of the Li Family. This is Bai Muyan, the young master of the Bai family. Please forgive us for disturbing you.”
The two young men were handsome and fine-looking. Lou Qianxue had an impression of Bai Muyan.
He was the sweetheart of An Linglong, who was the arrogant and overbearing person at Qingfeng Hotel.
Li Tingtao… should be Li Wei’s brother. Lou Qianxue wondered if he would still be so polite to her if he knew that Li Wei and Li Bo had already died in her hands.
Lou Qianxue did not want to chat further with the both of them, but she saw that Lou Potian wanted to leave to attend to some matters and kept turning around to look at them. So she raised her hand and covered her forehead.
“You’re welcome. Seeing that both of you are looking for me, what’s the matter?”
“Truth be told, before coming here, we had already met Old City Lord Lou. He entrusted us to look after you at Baicao Garden. Hence, Miss Lou, please…”
No wonder Grandpa had such a strange smile just now. He sold me behind my back…
Really… I don’t have to depend on men to make myself strong like Lou Xingchen did. Her grandfather had thought too much.
However, the matter had developed to this point, so Qianxue could only reluctantly agree. “Let’s go.”
Li Tingtao and Bai Muyan led Lou Qianxue to her seat. Along the way, the flowers in the garden bloomed like a piece of brocade, and the fragrance greeted the three’s noses. They even saw little bridges, flowing water, and green and white lotuses.
There was also a bamboo forest in the surroundings. Furthermore, with the water streaming delicately in the banquet, it was extremely quiet and elegant. This place was indeed a treasure. It was no wonder that Baicao Garden was known as a divine and magical place.
Many people had already arrived at the place.
After Lou Qianxue took a seat, she looked at the surroundings and raised her eyebrows.
Such a coincidence. I know most of them.
Lou Xingchen, Mo Ruhuan, An Zhenhua, An Linglong, Xia Zheng, Su Xuan, Su Mingyang…
The number of people who came today was much lower than that at the Prefectural Governor’s banquet last night. It was obvious that those invited here were elite participants with a status.
Lou Qianxue stared at Lou Xingchen before moving her gaze away.
“Young Master Li, do you know why Master Yan has invited us here?”
“I don’t, but Master Yan has never invited others. This is the first time, so it should be something important.” Li Tingtao then affectionately introduced some of the locals and forces from Liuyun Prefecture to Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxue listened and remembered every one of them.
After a long time.
A beautiful girl dressed in a green dress slowly came out with Su Xuan and Su Mingyang.
A dark light swept past Li Tingtao’s eyes. “She’s the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Yingying. She is also a genius in cultivation. She has already reached the Essence Martial realm, and is considered the most impressive among the younger generation of the four families of our Liuyun Prefecture.”
Su Yingying… Could it be that she’s here to help Su Mingyang and Su Xuan get even?
“Miss Lou, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you. You’re indeed extraordinary.” Su Yingying smiled at Lou Qianxue. “I heard that my brother and cousin had offended you yesterday. I’ve specially brought them here today to apologize to you.”
Su Yingying’s beautiful face, which had a smile before, instantly sank as she gave a kick to Su Xuan. “Brat, quickly apologize to Miss Lou.”
Su Xuan was terrified of her sister. Like a quail, he hurriedly cupped his hands and trembled. He then said to Lou Qianxue in a submissive voice, “Miss Lou, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have caused you trouble yesterday.”
Su Mingyang also bent his waist. “Qianxue, please forgive us.”
Lou Qianxue looked at them with a deadpan face. “You don’t have to get so close to me. I’m not familiar with you.” After a pause, she continued, “Do less brainless things in the future. Get lost.”
Both of them were so ashamed and furious that their faces turned red. However, they did not dare rebuke. They ran away as if they were bereaved dogs that ran off with wedged tails.
