“Qianxue!” Lou Xiaoxiao’s face changed as she became worried. She wanted to persuade Lou Qianxue.
However, Lou Qianxue was determined. “Sister Xiaoxiao, Grandpa is in the hands of the Prefectural Governor’s mansion. If I delay, he’ll have to suffer more! I don’t wish for that!”
When Lou Xiaoxiao heard this, she thought of First Elder, who had died the previous day. A deep sorrow surged in her heart, and her gaze softened. “Then, you’ll have to take care.”
“Don’t worry, Sister Xiaoxiao. I only do what I am confident of doing.”
An Shaoning patted Lou Xiaoxiao’s shoulders and said, “Miss Qianxue, don’t worry. After this matter, I’ll bring Xiaoxiao to Liuyun Prefecture to look for you.”
Lou Qianxue glanced at him, and then at Lou Xiaoxiao. Seeing that they were standing together intimately, a strange expression flashed past her eyes. She nodded and said, “Alright! Everyone, I’ll make a move first.”
Lou Qianxue whistled, and the dragon horse that had accompanied her for one day leaped out from behind the crowd.
As the crowd sensed movements behind them, they were shocked one after another and cleared a pathway for the dragon horse.
Lou Qianxue held the horse rein and flipped onto the dragon horse. Without saying farewell again, she pulled the horse reins and galloped in the direction of Liuyun Prefecture.
When the crowd came back to their senses, they only saw soot on the ground.
“Lou Qianxue is indeed impressive! From what I see, even if we hadn’t come here, she’d have also handled these matters extremely well.”
“Yes. If I didn’t see wrongly, Miss Lou was riding a rare dragon horse!”
“Furthermore, I realized that her cultivation seems to be much stronger than what it was during the Prefecture competition!”
“A genius is indeed a genius! I’m very glad that I came here today!”
The crowd incessantly sighed.
“Everyone.” Yan Gongqing interrupted them. “Who’s willing to lead the troops to eradicate the Mo Family?”
“I’ll go.”
As An Shaoning had planned to stay behind and accompany Lou Xiaoxiao, Li Tingtao directly received the order.
“Alright.” Yan Gongqing nodded and looked at everyone in Qingyun City. “So, people of Qingyun City, who’s willing to lead the way and bring us to the Mo Family? After reaching the place, I’ll reward you all with 100,000 taels of silver!”
Wow!
A commotion broke out amongst the Qingyun City residents.
Such an amount was a huge asset to many people!
“Me!”
“Me!”
“And me!”
Yan Gongqing was generous. “Alright, the five people who raised their hands, you all will get 100,000 taels of silver. Those who are willing to follow Master Li to the Mo Family now, you all can go together. As for those who aren’t, you can stay here to deal with the aftermath.”
In an instant, everyone made their decision.
When the crowd in Qingyun City saw that Yan Gongqing had honored his words and did not bully others despite being arrogant, they became more daring and started to engage in discussions.
“Young Master Yan is generous.”
“The Mo Family is really doomed this time.”
“I really didn’t expect that Lou Qianxue alone could reverse the fortunes of her family. If she were present yesterday, I wonder who would’ve been the winner between the Lou and Mo families!”
“A pity! She thinks too highly of her own capabilities! I know that she’s impressive since she destroyed the Mo Family by herself! But, the Prefectural Governor’s mansion and the Zhu family in the Imperial city, what are those places? Can she, with her power at the eighth level of the Spirit Martial realm[1], be so presumptuous?”
“You can’t say it this way. You saw it too, right? Even after Miss Lou had rushed back and killed so many Mo Family members, her breathing was still stable? This shows that she simply did not expend much energy. Hence, her actual cultivation is much more impressive than what we can see on the surface.”
“Right. I also feel this way! Lou Qianxue is not someone we can look at with logical thinking. She’s a genius! You all may not know that during the Prefecture competition, she had said that she would level the Zhu family after three years. I could see that she was certain and calm, and wasn’t talking nonsense.”
“She was also very confident and calm just now. There was no panic or worry on her face. She may really be able to barge into the Prefectural Governor’s mansion herself and save City Lord Lou!”
“Exactly. Look, even a person like Young Master Yan obeys her words! If she was incapable, why would Young Master Yan and so many people take the risk of offending the Prefectural Governor’s mansion and the Zhu family? They are not idiots!”
