The carriages reached the Lou residence very soon. After Lou Qianxue and Lou Xiaoxiao alighted from their carriage, they directly returned to their residence…
The other members of the Lou family became elated when they heard that the group who had gone to the Fenghua Banquet had returned. They rushed forward as they wanted to curry favor Third Young Master.
However, they discovered that Third Young Master was seriously injured and that he was in a coma.
This stunned every person who had gone to see him.
“How can it be possible! Third Young Master has been cultivating in the Imperial city. He has a high cultivation and a broad knowledge. How can he lose?”
“And he’s so seriously injured at that!!!”
“Shouldn’t he have gotten first place?”
When Lou Jinglei got news of this matter, he became furious. “Who? Who injured Shulin and snatched his first place at the Fenghua Banquet? Was it Hong Qinghe? He has got guts!”
“No… It’s not that…” The Lou family members who had attended the Fenghua Banquet together with Third Young Master profusely sweated as they said, “It was Lou Xiaoxiao and Ye Zhuixun.”
“Lou Xiaoxiao? The Lou Xiaoxiao from our mansion? Impossible! Her cultivation can’t be compared to Shulin, and on top of that, Shulin even has the Lightning Battle Armor and the Venomous Dragon Sword. With what can she hurt Shulin? And who is that Ye Zhuixun? How can he defeat Shulin? Did they cheat?”
“No, no. Prefectural Governor, it’s like this…” The Lou family member trembled as he described the events at the Fenghua Banquet to Lou Jinglei.
The unexpected ups and downs of the Fenghua Banquet made Lou Jinglei so stunned that he was dumbfounded.
“Is Lou Xiaoxiao so impressive?”
“Did Lou Qianxue really fight against four Mystic Martial realm experts and defeat them? Have you still not awakened from your dream?”
“And that Ye Zhuixun can also defeat a Mystic Martial realm expert?”
“How’s it possible! They are merely small characters who came from a small place like Qingyun City. How can they be so impressive!”
“No, wrong… It’s not only a small place!” Lou Jinglei’s face instantly changed when he suddenly thought of what that person had said in the end. “The person who came with Ye Zhuixun to our mansion that day was actually a demonically-talented alchemist from the Alchemy King’s mansion! Oh gosh, what exactly have I missed!”
Lou Jinglei heartbreakingly shook his head. Disbelief filled his face, but he believed the information.
“Alchemy King’s mansion! He was actually a demonically-talented alchemist from the Alchemy King’s mansion! No wonder Master Huo favors Lou Qianxue. She has such a great character behind her!
“So… Is their sudden impressiveness also related to that Master Gong Sunheng from the Alchemy King’s mansion? If this is really the case, can our Lou family also board that big ship of the Alchemy King’s mansion?”
As Lou Jinglei thought about it, he could not help himself. He agitatedly swallowed his saliva as he said, “I really didn’t expect that even though Lou Qianxue does not have a Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouse as a backer anymore, she still can’t be underestimated.
“Someone, go and get Lou Qianxue here… Hold on— Forget it. Let her have a good rest first. You all, go and prepare. The Prefectural Governor’s mansion will hold a celebration tonight. Invite Lou Qianxue, Lou Xiaoxiao, Ye Zhuixun, and that Master Gong Sunheng… It should be great this way!”
The more Lou Jinglei thought about it, the happier he became.
Suddenly…
A figure hurriedly entered the living room. “Big Brother, Big Brother, I have a piece of good news to tell you!”
“Good news?” Lou Jinglei waved his hand, and the servants at the side dispersed. He then looked at the newcomer, “Jingtao, what good news do you have?”
The person who had entered the room was the fourth Master of the Lou family, Lou Jingtao.
“Big Brother, didn’t I say earlier that we would need one month to nurture bees? We don’t have to wait that long now!”
“Oh?”
“I’ve found a new way to nurture bees. After ten more days, I’ll have the bees ready. At that time, we’ll find out who had eavesdropped on our conversation that night!”
