After getting the news, Lou Qianxue soon arrived.
When she entered the door, she saw Lou Jinglei sitting on the main seat and drinking tea with a calm expression. Steward Lou stood beside Lou Jinglei, and both of them had serious faces.
Lou Qianxue paused before stepping into the room and said. “I’m here to see Family Head.”
“Lou Qianxue.” Lou Jinglei stared at her with a stern gaze. “Did you forget to tell me something?”
“Huh?” Lou Qianxue frowned. What happened to him? Does he know that it was me in the bamboo forest that night? Or is he talking about that woman I beat yesterday and asking me to deal with the consequences?
“Stop pretending to be a fool.” Lou Jinglei suddenly put the teacup on the table. It made a huge noise, and even the tea inside overflowed.
A trace of anger also appeared on his face. “What did you do in the Alchemy Union yesterday?”
Lou Qianxue’s eyes showed that she had now realized it. “Has Master Huo sent something?”
“…” Lou JInglei had wanted to start with Lou Qianxue’s arrogant behavior in the Alchemy Union the previous day to scare her. With that, he planned on righteously taking away the medical herbs. However, Lou Qianxue’s words shocked him for an instant.
“Where are the things?” Lou Qianxue didn’t explain; she just looked around. Soon, she spotted two large wooden boxes in a corner and curiously walked over to them. “Is that the one?”
“Cough…” Lou Jinglei regained his senses and insisted on maintaining his demeanor. “You still haven’t answered my question. What happened yesterday?”
“It’s nothing. I met Master Huo. Master Huo admired me and said that he wanted to give me something.”
“Huh?” Lou Qianxue had already walked to the wooden boxes while speaking. She frowned when she reached them. “Did someone open them?”
“Well, I was afraid that they might contain something bad for you, so I looked at it for you in advance…”
An unexplainable look appeared on Lou Qianxue’s face. After scanning around a few times, she found that all the things she had asked for the previous day were there. Then, she said, “Oh I see! Then, thank you, Family Head! If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving with my things.”
“Wait!” Lou Jinglei righteously called her. “Lou Qianxue, we’ve already seen inside them. Among the pills there, the lowest level one is of third grade. Only high-level alchemists can use them. As for the pill cauldron, it is also a third-grade cauldron. It can even refine fifth-grade pills. If you have such good things, wouldn’t it be a waste?”
“Heh.” A sneer crept at the corner of Lou Qianxue’s mouth. Without answering, she indifferently took out a storage ring from the Mountain River Space and wore it on her hand. The storage ring belonged to Li Bo, who she had killed in the Qingyun Mountain.
Then, a silver light flashed on her finger, and the two large wooden boxes vanished. They reappeared inside the ring.
Lou Jinglei’s pupils suddenly shrank. The words he was about to say got stuck in his mouth.
Lou Qianxue folded her arms and looked at him with a smile, “Family Head, why did you stop talking? You haven’t finished talking yet. These things are too wasteful to be mine, then?”
“W-Why… do you have a Xu Mi storage ring?”
“I’ve had it for some time, Family Head. You said that you want me to practice harder to avoid falling behind, so I am very busy, busy with cultivating. Since you have already said and asked whatever that you wanted to and I have finished talking, then I shall say goodbye first.” After speaking, Lou Qianxue turned and walked out.
“Wait!” Lou Jinglei angrily stopped her. “Lou Qianxue! What I meant was that you should contribute those things to the family! Of course, the family will also compensate you with some things, which would be more suitable for the low-level pills you are using now and the pill cauldron. What do you think about that?”
