“I’m your master.” Lou Qianxue smiled and consoled Ye Zhuixun. “Have more confidence in me.”
“…” Ye Zhuixun helplessly sighed. “I knew that I couldn’t persuade you, yet I still tried. How foolish of me.”
“You little brat! I know that you’re concerned about me, but don’t worry. I’ll be careful.”
“Miss Jade-Masked Blast, are you sure that you want to challenge a ‘1000-point warrior’?” the lady asked again.
“Yes.”
“Okay, Miss Jade-Masked Blast. The organizers have decided on your opponent. It’s the ‘1000-point warrior’ ‘The Son of the Earth.’ The match will still take place at battle stage no.1. Please prepare yourself.”
“The Son of the Earth?”
“Yes. The ‘1000-point warrior’ who is going to fight you has mastered the earth concept. He has an almost unbreakable defense, and that’s the reason behind his name. Furthermore, he was born with immense strength. All his attacks depend on his formidable defensive powers, and these attacks are aggressive. He can easily smash his opponents into a heap of mashed meat.”
“You introduced this opponent to me in such detail! Is it because I challenged someone of a higher level twice?” After saying that, Lou Qianxue shook her head. “Nevertheless, I’ve never met someone with mastery over the earth concept. It’ll be good to try it out.”

At the same time, in the Imperial City.
The despondent Lou Xiaoxiao was about to relent for her juniors at the entrance of the Imperial Academy when…
“Lou Xiaoxiao! You dare to agree!”
A furious voice suddenly rang in the entire place.
It shocked everyone. “Huh? Who is this person? How dare he create a ruckus? Does he have a death wish?”
The students at the entrance curiously looked toward the source of the voice.
The juniors of the Lou Family became excited. “This… This is Young Master An’s voice!”
“Young Master An!”
“An Shaoning?” Lou Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat. She raised her head in disbelief and looked in front of her…
A white figure elegantly strode over to her from afar.
The youthful teenager had grown into a young man. Even though he had lost his cultivation over two years ago, he did not look even one bit miserable. Instead, over time, he had become even more gentlemanly. His body exuded a comfortable and gentle aura.
However, right now, flames of fury were burning in his eyes. “Lou Xiaoxiao, who said two years ago that she will take care of me?”
Lou Xiaoxiao blankly stared at him. “I…”
“Who said that she truly likes me?” An Shaoning asked as he walked toward her.
Lou Xiaoxiao fell into a daze. “I did.”
“Hmph! It’s good that you’re admitting it, Lou Xiaoxiao! Since you already promised me, why are you going back on your words?”
“I… I’m not.” Lou Xiaoxiao instantly regained her senses. “No… that’s not what I meant back then.”
“I don’t care! For the past two years, I’ve rejected so many women because of your promise! You need to compensate me!” After he spoke to Lou Xiaoxiao, An Shaoning’s gentle, yet powerful and confident gaze turned toward Master Yinguo’s butler. “You should go back. Lou Xiaoxiao is my woman. I’ll never let you take her away.”
“Bastard, do you know who you’re opposing? Do you want to die?”
An Shaoning raised his eyebrow. “I don’t care who you are, but protecting his woman is every man’s responsibility! You want to take away Lou Xiaoxiao? Sure, but you have to step over my dead body before that! However, for everyone’s sake, we should not fight!”
“Hah! How hilarious!” Master Yinguo’s butler disdainfully looked at An Shaoning and mocked him. “You’re just a useless, crippled piece of trash with no cultivation. Yet you still want to be the hero and save the day? Are you stupid?”
