As Lou Xiaoxiao watched An Shaoning’s carriage leave, she tightly clenched her fists!
“Gong Sunheng!”
“Even if you belong to the Alchemy King’s mansion, I, Lou Xiaoxiao, swear that I’ll kill you with my own hands! I will take revenge for my sister Qianxue and An Shaoning!”
“I have to take this revenge; otherwise, I’m not human!”
As her voice fell, her eyes gradually deepened. A firm expression appeared in them. “Stronger! I must become stronger! I have to surpass Gong Sunheng and the Alchemy King’s mansion! I have to take Qianxue’s place and bear the responsibility that should have been mine! I have to protect everyone in our Lou family from Qingyun City!”
After making her determination, Lou Xiaxiao pulled the reins and turned around, wildly speeding on her horse toward the Fengyang prefecture.
A month later, all the people who had emerged victorious at the admission trial for the Imperial Academy headed toward the Imperial city.
These people went through the admission test for the Imperial Academy again, and a majority of them officially entered the academy.
Half a year later.
Princess Xueqing from Tian Zhao Imperial City, who had been in a coma for half a year, regained consciousness. However, she had lost her memory, and couldn’t remember who had attacked her and Lou Shuyin from the Fengyang prefecture back then.
Thus, this matter was left unresolved.
Time slowly passed by like a song.
However, the boundary of the Abnormal Fire in the deeper areas of Qingyun Mountain remained silent throughout.
The bright yellow Abnormal Fire and its blue origin source silently floated in the air, never making any sound…
There were no signs of human life at all within the whole boundary of the Abnormal Fire.
However, there was a shadow in the center of the flame. The shadow seemed lifeless as it endured the most painful burns of the raging fire. Rays of faint green light flashed past this shadow from time to time…
Suddenly, an unprecedented, powerful aura silently spread to all areas of the boundary of the Abnormal Fire.
Two years later.
Tian Zhao Dynasty, Imperial City.
“Sister Xiaoxiao, did you receive the Third Prince’s birthday invitation?”
Two years were enough for the panicky juniors of the Lou family, who were confused and naive back then, to become mature and persistent.
“Yeah.”
However, the one who had changed the most was Lou Xiaoxiao, who was practicing with her sword.
In a short span of two years, she had advanced from the first level of the Essence Martial Realm to the ninth. Her demonic talent and her cultivation speed made many geniuses in the Imperial City look at her in a new light. It was especially so in recent times as she had started to progress toward the Mystic Martial realm. This had made even the princes in the Imperial City take not of her.
Furthermore, the Third Prince took advantage of his connection with the Lou family in Fengyang prefecture. He enjoyed the benefits of being in a favorable position as he had the priority to invite Lou Xiaoxiao.
“Are you really going tonight? Don’t you usually dislike these kinds of banquets?” Lou Han vexedly looked at Lou Xiaoxiao.
Lou Xiaoxiao sharply looked at him with a bright gaze. She said in a voice filled with deterrence, “Gong Sunheng is also coming tonight.”
“Oh, I see. I’m even more worried about you now. Although we haven’t forgotten about the revenge for Miss Qianxue and Young Master An, we are not his match yet. Why don’t we—”
“Wait for a few more years?” Lou Xiaoxiao lowered her head. “I know. Don’t worry. I have a sense of propriety.” As she spoke, she waved her hand. “Nothing will happen to me. You all can go back.”
A few juniors from the Lou family glanced at one another. Thereafter, they helplessly shook their heads and left.
“Ay, it’d have been great if Young Master Leng or Young Master Ye were here. They could’ve definitely persuaded Sister Xiaoxiao.”
“It’s a pity that it has been a year since Young Master Leng left without any news. And Young Master Ye, he has gone to Lingxi County a few days ago to take part in the Alchemy competition.”
“Speaking of this, Young Master Ye is really impressive. He actually reached the Mystic Martial realm one step earlier than Sister Xiaoxiao. On top of that, he’s an impressive alchemist. In just a short period of two years, he became a third-grade alchemist. This qualification is more than enough for him to enter the Alchemy King’s mansion.”
