Silence!
All the voices in the place died down, as everyone stared at the Prefectural Governor of Liuyun Prefecture and the scarlet-masked young man in a confrontation.
After a short period of silence, the Prefectural Governor said with an ugly expression, “Scarlet-masked, Master Yan, how about we give in to one another today?”
The scarlet-masked young man asked, “What do you want to do?”
“Lou Qianxue can’t touch Lou Xingchen, and I won’t touch her as well!” The Prefectural Governor said in an annoyed tone.
The scarlet-masked young man snorted.
The Prefectural Governor continued, “I’m aware that your Gate of Seven Kills is not to be underestimated in Tian Zhao Dynasty. However, if the Zhu family wants to seek revenge, even if you’re the Gate of Seven Kills, you’ll also be hit hard!”
The scarlet-masked young man became silent as he looked at Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxue remained indifferent and silent.
When he saw this, the Prefectural Governor’s heart became filled with fury. “Lou Qianxue, are you still not satisfied?”
His face turned pale as he continued, “On account of Scarlet-masked and Master Yan, I can spare your life, but you have to think carefully. Do you really want to let Scarlet-masked, Master Yan, and the rest of your friends bear the Zhu family’s revenge? I’m afraid you won’t be able to return their kindness!”
Lou Qianxue’s gaze wavered before landing on Lou Xingchen.
She knew the Prefectural Governor was wrong. With her talent and resources, she was more than capable of returning that kindness.
It was just that.
All this trouble would not be worth it for Lou Xingchen.
As Lou Qianxue pondered, Lou Xingchen returned to consciousness.
After feeling perplexed for a moment, she immediately discovered that her dantian had been ruined. Her face instantly turned ghastly pale, and despair clouded her beautiful eyes. “I! How! How could this happen? How can I become useless? No, no, no! Impossible! I don’t want, I don’t want to be like this! Ah-h!”
As her eyes became filled with streaks of blood, she screamed.
“Xingchen, Xingchen, what’s the matter with you? Don’t frighten me.” Jiang Suying hugged her daughter as tears rolled down her face.
“Mom, I’ve become useless. How can I become useless? I don’t want, I don’t want to be like this, Mom.” Lou Xingchen was in so much misery that she hysterically screamed.
“Child, don’t cry. You’re fine. You’re fine. Remember, Sky, Earth, and Barren had mentioned that it would not matter even if you become useless. Young Master Zhu favors you as a person. He’ll save you no matter what. Don’t be upset. When you reach Young Master Zhu’s side, he’ll definitely think of a way to cure you.”
As she looked at Lou Xingchen’s state, Lou Qianxue felt that if she killed her, she would be letting her off too easily.
Therefore, Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes and shouted, “Lou Xingchen!”
Lou Xingchen trembled upon hearing her voice. She then looked up and glared at her, “Lou Qianxue, you b*tch, you dared to ruin my dantian! You’ll die a horrible death!”
“Humph!” Lou Qianyue snorted. “Lou Xingchen, do you still remember the oath I took one month ago?
“I, Lou Qianxue, swear on my blood today that if I’m alive, I’ll definitely defeat you at the Prefecture competition one month later, and destroy your reputation. I’ll pay you and your mother 100 times back for everything you’ve done to us!!” In front of the stunned crowd, Lou Qianxue recited the oath word by word.
After pausing for a while, she continued, “I have fulfilled my oath. I originally wanted to kill you today, but seeing how miserable you are, I changed my mind. Killing you is letting you off too easily!”
“B*tch! I want to kill you! Ah ah ah!”
The more insane and furious Lou Xingchen became, the brighter the light shone in Lou Qianxue’s eyes.
“Becoming an incapable piece of trash, waiting to die, and having to face the fear of an uncertain future must be a very scary form of torture, right? Lou Xingchen, I’ll let you off today, but remember this! Within three years, I’ll head to Imperial City, level the Zhu family, and take your life!”
