“That’s your problem.” Lou Qianxue calmly answered.
“Y-You’re trying to fool me, aren’t you?” The scarlet-masked young man felt uneasy. He was a man, and how could he find another man to engage in those integrating actions?
He angrily went back to his seat. “I can’t find the things required for suppression, and there’s no way I’m going to do what’s needed for curing!” He scoffed. “I don’t care. You have agreed to heal me, so you have to find me a solution no matter what.”
Lou Qianxue had expected this to happen. “I thought so too. So, I asked Master Yan to come with you here. Master Yan has a poisonous fire in his body. Although it’s not as powerful as abnormal fire, it’s enough to suppress the chillness in your body. But it will only work for half a year at most before the poisonous fire in Master Yan’s body deteriorates and loses its effectiveness. The good thing is that six months should be enough for you to consider your next step.”
As she said that, Master Yan and the scarlet-masked young man’s expressions changed.
The scarlet-masked young man became angry. “You want me to protect the Lou Family for three years, and yet you’re only going to heal me for six months?”
“That’s right.”
“You…”
“I have also provided you with a solution to cure it. You’re the one who refuses to accept it. How is it my problem? Perhaps, you would like me to kidnap a person with pure Yang energy?”
“No!” The scarlet-masked young man shrieked.
“But I…” Master Yan was not very willing to heal the scarlet-masked young man.
Lou Qianxue looked at him with a slight smile. “Master Yan, you had personally recommended me to the scarlet-masked young master. It seems like you’re very concerned about his health. Since that’s the case, I don’t think you would reject healing him.”
Master Yan had resorted to such tactics to trick her? If it hadn’t been for his help at the end of the prefecture competition, Lou Qianxue wouldn’t have let this matter go easily.
Lou Qianxue’s insights made Master Yan flush. He felt guilty and humiliated.
The scarlet-masked young man looked at him. “I dare you to try to not heal me!”
“Alright, I have already said all that I had to. I still have something to do, so the two of you should take your leave now.”
The two men who had come with a heart full of anticipation could only depart listlessly with a heart full of worries.
“Pfft! Male and male. Qianxue, how did you think of that?” When the two of them left, Lou Xiaoxiao, who had been holding in for a long time, burst out in laughter.
Lou Qianxue laughed, but did not answer.
After two days, Lou Qianxue had recovered quite a bit, so she began to heal Leng Qianhan. With her efforts, Leng Qianhan also recovered.
“Qianxue, we have been in Liuyun Prefecture for a long time. Now that Xiaoxiao and Young Master Leng have recovered, let’s go back to Qingyun City!”
“Grandpa.” Lou Qianxue shook her head. “All of you can go back first, I won’t tag along.”
“Hmm? Then Qianxue, you are?”
“I intend to go to Baiyan City.” Lou Qianxue answered in a firm tone.
“Baiyan City? What are you going there for?”
“I heard that my mother appeared there five years ago. I want to have a look.” This was the decision she had made on the day she met Xia Zheng.
However, she had been busy with the prefecture competition back then, and couldn’t go to Baiyan City.
“What?” Lou Potian was shocked. He then sighed. “Fine, I know that you have missed your mother all these years. It’s good for you to go and have a look. Who knows, you might find Xuanji.”
Thus, they parted ways.
Lou Potian, Lou Xiaoxiao, Ye Zhuixun, and Leng Qianhan, all left Liuyun Prefecture and went back to Qingyun City.
Lou Qianxue rode a horse in the direction of Baiyan City alone.
Lou Xiaoxiao and Leng Qianhan had said to her that they wanted to tag along.
Lou Qianxue had rejected them. She had done it for two reasons. First, she had offended the Prefectural Governor’s Mansion and the Zhu Family, so she was afraid of her family being unsafe. So, she had asked Leng Qianhan and the masters of the Mystic Martial Realm sent by the scarlet-masked young man to stay in town and guard the Lou Family. Second, her mother had grievances with the Xia Family in Baiyan City. Things would not be peaceful in that city, and Lou Qianxue no longer wanted her friends to defend her again.
