“Huh?” Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows and doubtfully asked, “You are?”
“Hello, Miss Jade-Masked Blast. I’m Prince Dong’s butler. I have been instructed by Prince Dong to specially come and invite you to visit our mansion.”
“I’m a member of the Zhu family from the Imperial city! My family head recently obtained a rare deep sea pearl, and he wants to give it to you.”
“Give way! Give way! You all give way! I came first! Miss, I was sent by Third Royal Highness to invite you to our mansion!”
“Hold on!” Lou Qianxue frowned and asked, “Did you all mistake me for someone else? I don’t know any of you.”
“Miss, are you not the Jade-Masked Blast who created a chaos at the Alchemy Competition in Lingxi Prefecture, swept through the Life-or-death battle stage, and defeated a fourth-grade alchemist in an alchemy battle?”
When the onlookers heard this, they became fascinated. They looked at Lou Qianxue with shining eyes.
“…” Lou Qianxue instantly thought of the situation when she had gone to Liuyun Prefecture two years ago. She could not help herself from raising her hand to support her forehead.
“It’s indeed me, but I’m very sorry. I don’t know your family head or prince, and I don’t have time to be a guest at this moment. Hence, everyone, please go back.”
“Miss, Miss, hold on. I am a member of the An family! There’s a Young Master Shaoning in my family who’s very good friends with your disciple, Ye Zhuixun. Please give me the honor.”
“Shaoning? An Shaoning?” Lou Qianxue froze for a while. She then looked at the speaker and asked, “An Shaoning is looking for me?”
When the crowd saw this, their eyes widened. They enviously looked at the speaker.
The speaker became so nervous that his face turned red. He agitatedly said, “No, no. It’s my family head who wants to ask for your help. If you have the time, we can arrange for a venue.”
“Your family head…” Lou Qianxue muttered to herself. She suddenly had a bright idea. “Oh, I have something to do today. Why don’t I ask Lou Xiaoxiao to tell An Shaoning the venue for a meeting when I have time another day?”
“Lou Xiaoxiao? Young Master Shaoning. This… I’m afraid it’s not appropriate?”
“Huh? Why is it not appropriate?”
“Miss Jade-Masked Blast, do you know Lou Xiaoxiao?” the member of the An family hesitatingly asked.
“I do.” When Lou Qianxue saw the change in the man’s expression, her heart tightened. “Why? Did something happen to her?”
“This…” The An family member hesitated to answer.
The other people at the side hurriedly fought to talk first. “Miss Jade-Masked Blast, I know, I know.
“Lou Xiaoxiao recently provoked Fourth Royal Uncle and Third Prince. To punish her, Third Prince made the decision to marry her to Yin Guogong. Today is the day of her wedding.”
“What?” Lou Qianxue’s heart sank. She coldly asked, “What’s wrong with that Yin Guogong?”
“Yin Guogong? He! Many things are wrong with him. He’s an old man over sixty years of age, and on top of that, he’s a hungry lustful ghost. The number of girls who’ve suffered in his hands is at least dozens, if not hundreds—”
As that person continued, he suddenly shivered and stopped talking. His body trembled as he looked at Lou Qianxue in horror.
Lou Qianxue tightly clenched her fists, and her aura suddenly turned cold. The black hair on her head moved on its own without any wind.
Her black eyes, which were deep and dark, seemed like water could drip out of them.
“Tell me! The wedding is today, right?”
Ceng!
Uncontrollable rage instantly surged within her heart.
Faint streaks of blood appeared in her cold eyes. “Where is Yin Guogong’s mansion?”
Since Lou Qianxue did not suppress her fury, the pressure exuded by her body spread in the air.
At this moment, it seemed like even the air had been frozen and stopped from flowing.
“So… So powerful!”
Every person near her felt that they could hardly breathe due to the pressure. Their clothes became drenched in sweat, and they looked at Lou Qianxue in terror.
After hearing the question, a person who could not withstand the pressure hurriedly told Lou Qianxue the address of Yin Guogong’s mansion in a trembling voice.
“Humph! Yin Guogong’s mansion!”
Lou Qianxue could not hold back her anger. With eyes as cold as a sword, she looked in the direction of Yin Guogong’s mansion and swiftly flew over…
