Lou Qianxue stretched her hand to receive the Frost Sword and looked at An Shaoning. “You have put in so much effort to give me a gift. How could I reject it?”
After receiving the sword, she said in a profound manner, “Whoever becomes Young Master An’s enemy will face a pitiful outcome.”
An Shaoning smiled. “Miss Lou, thank you for your compliment.”
Lou Qianxue shook her head and then looked at the crowd. “Do you all have any other matters? If you don’t, I will go and treat Master Yan now.”
Lou Qianxue had unknowingly become the most dazzling pearl at this banquet, and everyone envied her.
“Miss Lou, I have no matters. Go ahead.” Li Tingtao smiled.
Bai Muyan also nodded. “Yes. The most urgent matter is to attend to Master Yan’s illness.”
Su Yingying’s gaze was also full of expectation. “We all are waiting for Master Yan to practice alchemy again.”
The future masters of the four renowned families of the Liuyun Prefecture—the Li family, the Bai family, the Su family, and the An family had all come forward together. Who would dare to defy in the entire place?
The answer was no one.
Lou Qianxue, Master Yan, and the scarlet-masked young man left together.
The crowd continued to discuss.
“Miss Lou is so young yet this impressive. She will become the best in the future! We’re lucky to witness her glory at the initial stage.”
“Right. The woman of my dreams is so beautiful. Even her cold appearance makes me unable to control myself!”
“In the beginning, I felt that Ye Zhuixun, who had insisted to be Lou Qianxue’s disciple, was shameless. But thinking about it now, the most shameless person was An Shaoning!”
“Smart people are just different. Even giving a gift involves so many tricks. Now, Miss Lou will have a deep impression of him. Just the thought of it makes me unhappy.”
“Me too!”
Everyone glared at An Shaoning, but when they saw him smiling like a gentleman, they suddenly thought of Lou Qianxue’s words. Whoever dared to became his enemy would have a pitiful fate. So they shivered and withdrew their gazes.
When Lou Xingchen and Xu Miaoyan saw that everyone seemed to have gotten the ‘Lou Qianxue’ poison and they fervently sang her praises, the two felt that their hearts were burning. They were envious and dreadful. Their hearts were overwhelmed with so much pain that they did not wish to live.
Soon, both of them departed with pale expressions.
It was not difficult to solve Master Yan’s problem. Lou Qianxue just needed to correct his refining method. As for the chemicals in his body, Lou Qianxue needed more time.
After leaving behind the improved refining method, Lou Qianxue left.
During this period, the scarlet-masked young man had observed her and Master Yan.
Lou Qianxue had even purposely glanced at him. She kept getting the feeling that this man was not simple. He was very dangerous, more dangerous than everyone else here!
“Tell me. Where exactly is the famous demonically-talented alchemist from the Alchemy King’s mansion?” The young man questioned Master Yan again after the two of them were alone again.
Since Master Yan had just received the answer to the problem that had troubled him for so many years, he was in a good mood. He easily cooperated. “Your guess is correct. I was in Liuyun Prefecture so that I could get closer to Master. If not for my identity, I might have stayed together with him.”
With a sigh, Master Yan continued, “He is in Qingyun City under the name of Zhang Heng. He’s the President of the Alchemy Union in that city.”
The scarlet-masked young man grew furious. “Are you playing tricks with me? How could the dignified and talented Grandmaster Sun Heng from the Alchemy King’s mansion become a crappy President in such a small area?”
