The moonlight was pure and bright.
Lou Qianxue and the rest carried on with their journey on the quiet highway.
The juniors in the Lou Family were either cultivating or sleeping.
Time slowly passed on.
“Huh?” Lou Qianxue, who was also cultivating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes. She pulled the curtains apart and peered outside.
She could hear rustling sounds in the middle of the silent night.
Someone is there!
And it’s a large group too!
They might even be fighting!
Leng Qianhan, who was in the carriage at the front, tightened the reins of the horse and stopped.
Lou Potian parted the curtains of his carriage. “Young Master Leng, what’s wrong?”
Lou Qianxue had already jumped down from the carriage. Before Leng Qianhan could speak, she said, “There’s a commotion in front. Grandfather, wait here with the rest. I’ll take a look with Qianhan.”
Lou Potian looked at Lou Qianxue in shock, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face. He nodded and said, “Okay, be careful!”
Leng Qianhan and Lou Qianxue could discover that a commotion was happening in front, but he could not. Hence, he was too embarrassed to request and go with them, afraid that he would be a burden.
Lou Xiaoxiao also jumped down from the carriage and spoke, “I’ll follow you.”
At the same time, a white figure floated down and landed beside Lou Qianxue.
A pressurizing aura lingered around Dan Taiyuan, and his face was expressionless and his gaze was deep. Glaring at Lou Qianxue, he said in a frosty tone, “I’m going too.”
This little pet’s temper is seriously too bad! She’s angry at me again!
She didn’t even bite me this time. She just hid!
When will she learn to become obedient?
Lou Qianxue’s expression froze, and she averted her gaze away from Dan Taiyuan. “Then, I’ll take a look with Dan Taiyuan. Qianhan, stay with Xiaoxiao, and protect the rest just in case.”
“Yes, Miss.” Leng Qianhan did not refuse.
Lou Xiaoxiao glanced at Dan Taiyuan, who was as cold as a glacier. She did not dare to fight with him and could only helplessly nod. “Okay.”
Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan jumped onto a horse each and slowly rode forward.
Silence ensued between the two of them.
Somewhere in the distance, under the bright moonlight, some people were intensely fighting.
Even from afar, Lou Qianxue could smell the strong stench of blood.
When her field of vision widened, she stopped and observed the situation in front. Breaking the silence, she analyzed, “There are two groups of people… and one carriage… One group is trying its best to protect the carriage, while the other group of men clad in black is frantically trying to approach the carriage. Looks like the focus is who is in the carriage.
“There are at least five Mystic Martial realm guards in both groups! How powerful! Any of the group could flatten the Liuyun Prefecture.” Lou Qianxue was shocked, and she then frowned. “We won’t be able to reach there in such a short period. If we pass by them, we’ll be inevitably involved. But there are no other roads in the vicinity.”
Lou Qianxue was still in deep thought when—
Swish!
The white figure beside her suddenly leaped.
Before Lou Qianxue could stop him, Dan Taiyuan had already landed in the middle of the battle.
“Dan Taiyuan!” Lou Qianxue’s expression changed, and she quickly rode forward.
Wearing a white robe, Dan Taiyuan stood there alone. He looked cold yet dignified, exuding a strong aura that compelled the two parties to stop fighting and look at him warily. They shouted, “Who are you?”
Dan Taiyuan’s perfect face remained expressionless. Under the moonlight, the lines across his forehead maliciously shone.
“Get lost!” he said in a rude manner.
Lou Qianxue, who had just managed to catch up to him, held onto her forehead. “Come back and don’t stir up any more trouble!”
Everyone turned their gaze to Lou Qianxue.
It was in the middle of the night.
On a highway.
They had to act at night because of a mysterious mission.
Why did this weird man and a beautiful girl suddenly appear here?
