Once the thought of giving up surfaced, the tension in Lou Xiaoxiao’s body gave way…
Her consciousness gradually drifted away.
However, in her daze, she seemed to hear a yell.
“Who’s that?”
Did someone come?
Lou Xiaoxiao tried her best to open her eyes but failed. All she could hear was the clashing of weapons.
Then, a gentle voice kept calling her name. “Miss Xiaoxiao, Miss Xiaoxiao? Are you alright? Wake up.”
Have I been saved?
Lou Xiaoxiao lost her consciousness.
…
That afternoon, the news about the massacre of Qingyun City’s Lou Family had already traveled to Liuyun Prefecture.
“What? Qingyun City’s Mo Family killed the Lou Family? Then what about Lou Qianxue?” Master Yan, who just received the information, asked.
His expression was dark and full of fury.
“Lou Qianxue’s location is unknown, but the Mo Family left three people alive and hung them at the gates of Qingyun City to force her to appear. It should be a matter of time before she shows up.”
“No way! I owe Lou Qianxue a favor. Plus her future is bright. I can’t just stand aside like this. Qing Er, go to the Alchemy Union and bring fifty soldiers. Immediately go to Qingyun City and rescue the three of them.”
Yan Gongqing was shocked. It took him a while to regain his senses. “Yes, Grandfather.” He immediately followed the orders.
The sect master of the Gate of Seven Kills also received the news from the silver-masked assassin. Although he knew more than the others, he was still furious. “The Zhu Family! The Prefectural Governor mansion! They dared to touch the people under the Gate of Seven Kills’s protection! Humph! Send some men to keep an eye on Qingyun City’s Mo Family. Once there’s news about Lou Qianxue, immediately tell me. By then, regardless of whether she wants to kill the Mo Family, or assassinate the Prefectural Governor and the men of the Zhu Family, we will cooperate with her to the best of our abilities!”
“Yes, Sect master!”
Su Family of Liuyun Prefecture.
When Su Yingying heard the news, she immediately frowned. “Qingyun City’s Mo Family? A small family that does not even have a single mystic martial realm expert? If Lou Qianxue was there, the Lou Family would definitely have survived… Our branch family had offended Lou Qianxue because of Su Mingyang’s and Lou Qianxue’s marriage matters. Why don’t we do her a favor this time? Now, go and gather an escort team. I’ll bring a team over and rescue the three Lou Family members before Lou Qianxue returns!”
Li Family of the Liuyun Prefecture.
When the young master of the Bai Family, Bai Muyan, heard the news, he also hurried back to the Li Family to discuss with Li Tingtao, the young master of the Li Family.
Li Tingtao was also shocked. “No way! Lou Qianxue is such a proud person. She doesn’t even give face to the Prefectural Governor and Master Yan. Plus, she has exceptional talent and limitless potential. What’s the Mo Family compared to her? How did they have the guts to touch her family?”
He realized that something was strange about the matter. After hesitating for a while, he decided. “Lou Qianxue is exceptionally gifted, and she has powerful forces backing her as well. During the prefecture competition, An Shaoning and Su Yingying battled alongside Lou Qianxue without any hesitation, snatching the chance to build a good relationship with her. The Li Family and the Bai Family are already lagging. Why don’t we take this chance and mend our relationship with her? Muyan, go back and gather our men. After half an hour, we’ll rush to Qingyun City and force the Mo Family to release the three men!”
Bai Muyan had the same thought. He nodded and said, “Okay.”
The An Family
A servant hurriedly looked for the master of the An Family, An Zhengfeng. “Master, a letter from Young Master.”
“Shaoning? Didn’t he go to Qingyun Mountain to train?”
An Zhengfeng opened the letter and scanned through it, and his expression fell.
Madam An, who was sitting at the side, became worried. “Husband, what’s wrong? Did something happen to Shaoning?”
“He’s fine. But the Lou family, the family of Shaoning’s friend who shone at the prefecture competition earlier, is facing a disaster. Shaoning told us to send help.”
“What do you mean?”
“This family will belong to Shaoning sooner or later. Plus, I believe in his judgment. Someone—quickly gather the troops and assist your young master at Qingyun City!”
