“Forget it. I’ll look for a familiar person to ask and find out what exactly happened during these two years…”
Lou Qianxue was pondering when…
“Lou Qianxue? Who’s that? Is it supposed to be someone impressive?” A cold and arrogant voice suddenly rang out.
The obviously-hostile voice made the discussions on the streets instantly quiet down.
The passersby’s gazes coincidentally landed on a man dressed in brocade, who had asked the question. With animosity on their faces, they said, “Are you a foreigner? How can you not know about Miss Qianxue’s extraordinariness?”
“Exactly!”
“Our Miss Qianxue was already ranked first at the Liuyun Prefecture competition when she had to turn 16!”
“Isn’t it easy to get first place in a place like this Liuyun Prefecture? I can only say that the others here being too incapable was the reason she got first place!” One of the few young people beside the man dressed in brocade opened his mouth to talk.
Every word coming out of these people’s mouths was full of arrogance. Just as the people of Liuyun Prefecture had refuted the man dressed in brocade, someone used a disdainful tone to rebuke them.
“You! It was not like this! At the end of that Prefecture competition, four Mystic Martial realm experts had taken action against the 16-year-old Miss Qianxue, but they were no match for her. It was one against four, yet the four of them had to retreat!”
“One against four? And these four were Mystic Martial Realm experts?” The man dressed in brocade and his comrades glanced at one another. “Are you certain that she did it alone?”
“Uh… Although a remnant soul of an exceptionally powerful expert had also taken action, Miss Qianxue was very impressive.”
“Chhe! She still relied on external forces! A small place is a small place. You guys haven’t seen the world at all, and you simply don’t know what a real genius is. Any random trash can become your idol.”
“You! If you continue to slander Miss Qianxue, we won’t be polite anymore!”
“Yeah! When Miss Qianxue single-handedly destroyed the Jiang family from the Prefectural Governor’s mansion back then, we didn’t even know where you were! Miss Qianxue was not even 16 at that time, yet she could already refine a flame core and a weapon flame. Can you do it? Even if you consider the whole Tian Zhao Dynasty or even the Xuantian continent, how many people can be as impressive as Miss Qianxue?”
“Not even 16, yet could refine a flame core and a weapon flame? Hahaha, you all want Liuyun Prefecture to become famous so badly that you have gone crazy. Does it feel good to brag so shamelessly? And you even said you wouldn’t be polite toward us anymore? How do you want to take action? Do you even know who we are?”
“Isn’t it so! Moreover, if your Miss Qianxue were so impressive, why didn’t we see her at the admission examination the Imperial Academy conducted in the Fengyang prefecture two years ago?”
“That’s because, that’s because… Miss Qianxue, she’s dead…”
Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!
Lou Qianxue, who was attentively listening to everything, nearly choked on her saliva when she heard these words. She started to violently cough and only calmed down after a while.
I am dead?
So people think that I’m dead…
Did ‘Gong Sunheng’ spread this rumor?
As Lou Qianxue thought about it, a cold, strong hatred and murderous intent appeared in her eyes.
It had just been a while yet…
Clang!
The man dressed in brocade and his comrades made their move.
“You all compared us to a dead person. How presumptuous!”
“You even said that we could not be compared to a dead person. Are you seeking death?”
“We’ll grant your wish!”
The man in brocade and the others could not hold back their anger. They immediately moved.
They had come here to apply for the Imperial Academy, so naturally, each of them had a high cultivation.
However, the majority of the people from Liuyun Prefecture had low cultivation. In just the blink of an eye, they fell into a disadvantageous position.
Exclamations and pitiful cries rang in the crowd!
When Lou Qianxue came back to her senses, her expression suddenly became cold.
