After a while, Lou Jinglei sent someone to hurry them again.
Lou Qianxue and Lou Xiaoxiao gathered at the entrance of the mansion.
Many people were already waiting there.
Soon after Lou Qianxue and Lou Xiaoxiao arrived at the place, a commotion broke out amongst the crowd.
“Third Young Master! Third Young Master is also joining the Fenghua Banquet this year! In the past, he had been in Imperial City, so he has never attended the Fenghua Banquet. However, everybody knows that if he were to take part in the Fenghua Banquet, he would definitely get into the top three.
Following the words of the crowd, Lou Xiaoxiao shifted her gaze to Third Young Master. She could not help herself as she snorted. “If he can get into the top three, you’ll get the first place.”
Lou Qianxue smiled and did not reply. She was not interested in getting first place.
Lou Jinglei had only given her the task of defeating Yang Feng, the eldest son of the Yang family. Yang Feng was also the elder brother of Yang Yan, who Lou Qianxue had badly beaten up at the Alchemy Union.
Third Young Master, who was enjoying the crowd’s attention, sensed Lou Xiaoxiao intently watching him, and the smile on his face immediately ceased. He viciously stared at her.
As Lou Xiaoxiao thought of Third Young Master’s strong murderous intent toward her the last time, her gaze also immediately became cold.
“Alright, everyone’s here. Those who are attending the Fenghua Banquet, get on the carriage and prepare to set off.”
The Fenghua Banquet was a banquet where geniuses gathered. Only six or seven people from the Prefectural Governor’s mansion were going to the banquet.
Lou Qianxue randomly chose a carriage and got onto it, and Lou Xiaoxiao followed her.
However, she had yet to enter the carriage when—
“Country bumpkin, we’re going to the Fenghua Banquet. Are you going there to embarrass yourself?” a cold and mocking voice suddenly said.
Lou Xiaoxiao paused and tilted her head to see Third Young Master, who had appeared beside her without her noticing it. She immediately snorted and ignored him as she continued to get on the carriage.
When he was ignored, Third Young Master felt humiliated. Fury surged in his heart. “Country bumpkin, didn’t you hear what I said? Get off!”
“You!” Lou Xiaoxiao frowned and furiously turned around. She was about to say something when a soft, little hand grabbed her.
When Lou Xiaoxiao turned back, she saw Lou Qianxue’s exquisite and beautiful face.
Lou Qianxue calmly said, “Sister Xiaoxiao, when a dog barks at the side, do we have to pay attention to it?”
Lou Xiaoxiao froze for a while, then laughed. “You’re right. We are humans. Why should we lower ourselves to the same level as a beast?” Her mood became much better as she got on the carriage.
“You all! B*tches, who are you referring to as a dog? Who’s a beast?” the furious Third Young Master was shouted.
When his servant, who was at the side, saw this, he hurriedly persuaded him. “Third Young Master, calm down. Please calm down. We have to quickly leave. If we don’t leave soon, we’ll not make it for the Fenghua Banquet. Without invitations, how can those country bumpkins from Qingyun City enter the banquet? They will only be disgracing themselves. Even if they manage to enter, that’s even better. You can take the opportunity to directly challenge them and teach them a proper lesson. Won’t it make you happier?”
Third Young Master’s anger slowly subsided, and his face revealed a smile filled with evil intentions. “Right, it’s good that they are going! I can use this opportunity to humiliate them! Not bad! Out of so many people, only you can win my heart. Well said. I’ll reward you!”
Following that, Third Young Master viciously glanced at Lou Qianxue and Lou Xiaoxiao’s carriage, then headed toward another carriage.
“Doomed, doomed!” The moment Lou Xiaoxiao got on the carriage, she felt regret fill her heart. She anxiously grabbed Lou Qianxue’s sleeves and said, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have talked on the spur of the moment. He has been in the Essence Martial realm for a while, and I’ve just entered the realm. Moreover, he had nearly killed me before. If he challenges me today, I’ll die.”
“Don’t be nervous. You’ll be fine.” Lou Qianxue smiled.
“Smile? Qianxue, you’re still smiling. Aren’t you worried about my life?”
“Oh…” Lou Qianxue helplessly sighed and shook her head. With a bitter smile, she said, “Sister Xiaoxiao, you lack self-confidence… If you really are so weak, why would I bring you along to attend the Fenghua Banquet?”
