In the night, Lou Jinglei had everyone in the Prefectural Governor’s mansion in Fengyang prefecture prepare a sumptuous banquet with full efforts. Then, he sent his men to invite Lou Qianxue and the others.
However…
“What? Lou Qianxue has left Fengyang prefecture?” Lou Jinglei was astonished, and his expression worsened.
The people at his side were so frightened by it that they did not dare to even heavily breathe.
Lou Jinglei frowned and sighed after a while. “Forget it. There’ll be a time for that… Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have treated her better. And if I had been hospitable to that Master Gong Sunheng, who had come to the Lou family that day and asked him to stay, who knows I might have already made connections with the Alchemy King’s mansion by now.”
Lou Jinglei felt regretful and vexed. “I hope I’ll still have the chance to meet Master Gong Sunheng in the future. Well, it’s not too late to start treating the Lou family of Qingyun City better from now onward.”
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and ordered, “Go invite everyone from the Lou family of Qingyun City and Lou Qianxue’s disciple to attend the banquet!”
After riding the dragon horses for seven days, Lou Qianxue and Gong Sunheng finally arrived at the entrance of Liuyun Prefectural city.
“Let’s rest for one night in Liuyun Prefecture. We’ll set off to Qingyun Mountain tomorrow. This time, we have to get hold of the Phantom Demon Heart Fire!”
“Yes.”
Both of them continued riding their dragon horses and entered Liuyun Prefecture.
Each Dragon horse was worth a million taels. They were exceptionally fast, and also very rare. That was why Lou Qianxue and Gong Sunheng attracted many people’s attention the moment they entered the city.
“Such a symbolic fellow.”
“Huh? Am I seeing right?”
“Isn’t that… Lou… Lou Qianxue?”
Upon recognizing Lou Qianxue, that person’s expression immediately became fanatical.
“The first place in the Prefectural competition, Lou Qianxue!!!”
“That impressive and arrogant Lou Qianxue, who had single-handedly destroyed the former Prefectural Governor’s mansion!!!”
“She actually appeared again!”
“My idol! My idol is finally back! That’s great!”
“My idol not only has a high cultivation but also flame core and weapon flame. Furthermore, she’s so good-looking. She’s simply beautiful from all angles! How can I not like her?”
“I feel that the so-called most beautiful woman of our prefecture, Xu Miaoyan, is scrap compared to Lou Qianxue!”
“… ” Xu Miaoyan, who usually attracted everyone’s attention, was now just a passer-by to these people. As she walked past the crowd, she tightly clenched her fists, bit her lips, and silently looked at Lou Qianxue…
She only saw the little sparrow, which had flown out from a small place like Qingyun City and whom she had previously belittled, had reborn from Nirvana and become a true phoenix now!
Lou Qianxue was simply a girl blessed by the heavens.
As Xu Miaoyan continued to look at her, her gaze gradually darkened…
Once, she was high and mighty in front of Lou Qianxue.
But now, Lou Qianxue was the focus of everyone’s attention and admiration. In contrast, Xu Miaoyan was buried amidst the crowd. She was not even qualified to be compared to Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxue did not even glance at Xu Miaoyan…
“I didn’t expect you to be so popular in Liuyun Prefecture.” Gong Sunheng marveled at the sight.
“What’s this considered? I think you’re the one who’s modestly hiding your skills. When I killed Jiang Huaicheng back then, your words had smoothed everything over and even decided a new Prefectural Governor.”
As Lou Qianxue spoke, she took a deep glance at Gong Sunheng.
Gong Sunheng smiled and did not speak further.
They stayed at Qingfeng Hotel again. Since Lou Qianxue had stayed here for a period previously, the hotel manager had a deep impression of her.
Now that he saw her again, he became excited. He even personally assigned a person to look after them, and on top of that, he offered the service for free.
Gong Sunheng smiled again. “Your reputation is really high.”
Lou Qianxue also did not expect it to be so great, and she could not help herself from shaking her head.
However…
Something even more exaggerating happened next.
“Miss Lou, Master Yan wants to meet you.” It was the most famous alchemist in Liuyun Prefecture.
“Young Master An wants to meet you.” It was the son of the incumbent Prefectural Governor of Liuyun Prefecture.
“Young Master Scarlet-masked wants to meet you!” It was the young master from the Gate of Seven Kills.
“Young Master Li wants to meet you.” It was the young master from the Li family, which was one of the four most important families in Liuyun Prefecture.
