“Lou Qianxue, do you dare to fight me?”
Lou Qianxue could see that Lou Xingchen was in a bad mood and wanted to step on her to obtain a sense of achievement.
However…
Lou Qianxue raised her brows and. She glanced at Lou Xingchen and calmly answered. “I’m not fighting!”
She had sworn that she would defeat Lou Xingchen at the prefecture competition!
And she knew the importance of the prefecture battle for Lou Xingchen very well.
Six years ago, Lou Xingchen had pleaded with Lou Qianxue to teach her the Mountain River Sword Technique because she was not feeling confident about the prefecture competition.
Back then, Lou Qianxue’s mother was not around, and Lou Xingchen was the only person that her mother had left behind. Moreover, Lou Xingchen listened to Lou Qianxue’s every command. Therefore, Lou Qianxue had accepted her request. But who knew, Lou Xingchen would turn out to be an ungrateful snake.
A month ago, Lou Xingchen even said that she would win the top spot in the Prefecture competition and let everyone know that she was a Phoenix that could soar above all!”
Lou Xingchen cared so much about the prefecture competition.
That was why Lou Qianxue insisted on battling Xingchen at the prefecture competition. She would defeat Lou Xingchen there and see her dreams shatter. Lou Qiaxue would let her know that with a personality like that, Lou XIngchen was only suited to be a mudskipper in the smelly canals.
Therefore, Lou Qianxue suppressed her urge to take action and kill Lou Xingchen, and she rejected Lou Xingchen’s invitation to fight.
She was saving the fight for the prefecture competition.
“Coward!” The unhesitant rejection from Lou Qianxue made Lou Xingchen mad. She roared in displeasure.
Lou Qianxue glared at her. “Yes, I am a coward. What are you going to do about it?”
“Y-You!” Lou Xingchen’s face turned pale, and she clenched her teeth. “Lou Qianxue, they say that you have improved a lot and I almost believed them. Who knew? Even if you have a very concise Essence Martial Power, you are still a useless piece of trash!
“Didn’t you humiliate Patriarch Su and Qianyue in such a powerful and majestic way? So why don’t you dare to take action? Could it be that after that little bit of cultivation, you can only bully the weak?” Lou Xingchen tried to anger Lou Qianxue.
“What a joke!” Lou Qianxue scoffed. “What has my cultivation to do with you? Indeed, I humiliated Su Mingyang and Lou Qianyue. Are you unhappy about it? If you are, come at me?”
Lou Xingchen was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot red. She wished she could just take action and kill Lou Qianxue, but Leng Qianhan had been glaring at Lou Xingchen cautiously ever since Lou Qianxue had expressed that she had no intention to take action.
Anyone could see that if Lou Xingchen dared to make a move, Leng Qianhan would not hesitate to move.
The Prefectural Governor saw Leng Qianhan as well and said, “The most powerful mercenary, Leng Qianhan! You’re here too? How do these peasants treat guests? How dare they let you stand there. Someone, get him a seat!”
Even the Prefectural Governor would have to consider the might of a Master of the Mystic Martial realm!
Leng Qianhan answered, “It’s fine. I’m not a guest of the Prefectural Governor. I’m just following the young lady and protecting her. There is no need to stand on ceremony.”
“The young lady you are referring to…” The Prefectural Governor looked shocked.
“She is Miss Qianxue.”
Everyone now understood his relationship with Lou Qianxue.
“Gosh, I didn’t hear anything wrong, did I?”
“Leng Qianhan! The strongest mercenary! He’s the guard of that weak woman?”
“How? How did it happen? Could it be because of her beauty?”
Lou Xingchen did not know that Leng Qianhan was an expert of the Mystic Martial realm, but seeing everyone’s attitude and Leng Qianhan’s unpredictable aura, she knew that she was no match for him. Therefore she could only helplessly glare at Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxue looked at Lou Xingchen’s displeased expression. She felt great knowing that Lou Xingchen could not do anything.
However, she frowned when she heard the discussions, and she felt that the banquet was boring. She looked toward the Prefectural Governor and asked, “I wonder if you have any other important reason for inviting everyone here today?”
The Prefectural Governor was stunned, and he replied, “No. I just wanted to meet this group of younger generations…”
“Oh, since it is so, you have seen me too. I shall not stay any longer. Goodbye.” With that, Lou Qianxue got up. “Xiaoxiao, Qianhan, let’s go.”
Everyone at the banquet went silent. They looked at her in shock.
