Fengyang prefecture.
Lou family.
“Hahahaha, old thing! Did you hear? The group of country bumpkins from your Qingyun City offended someone in the Imperial city! Therefore, Family Head decided that your only remaining precious granddaughter, Lou Xiaoxiao, will marry that Master Yinguo, who’s extremely lecherous and is over 60 years old…”
Third Elder had long disliked Lou Potian, and he didn’t miss this opportunity to mock Lou Potion the moment he received this news.
“No! Impossible! How can I be unaware of Xiaoxiao getting married?”
Lou Potian’s expression turned ugly. Without even retorting to the mockery, he hurriedly rushed to Lou Jinglei’s study room. “Family Head!”
Hearing his voice, Lou Jinglei got a fright. He paused for a while before coming back to his senses. Then, he furiously asked, “Lou Potian? What is it? Why are you making such a ruckus? Do you want to frighten me to death?”
Lou Potian clenched his fists. “Family Head, did you really betroth Xiaoxiao to Master Yinguo?”
Lou Jinglei froze for a while. Enduring his anger, he said with a fake smile, “So you learned about it… Master Yinguo is a noble in the Imperial city. It’s a blessing for Xiaoxiao that she’s going to marry him…”
“Family Head! Master Yingup is not only lecherous but also over 60 years old. How can you treat Xiaoxiao like this?”
Lou Jinglei frowned. The smile on his face disappeared as he coldly said, “What else should I’ve done? She has offended someone in the Imperial city. Do you expect me to pay the bill for her?”
“She’s a member of the Lou family! Moreover, aren’t the Lou family and Third Prince in-laws? As long as you open your mouth—”
“A member of the Lou family? She? She’s merely a little sparrow from Qingyun City. You really think that she’s a member of the Lou family since she carries the blood of the Lou family? On what basis should I ask Third Prince for a favor? I had already said it before that if you offend Master Gongsun, I would not care about you all.”
“You! You! As the family head, is this the way you protect your clan? Lou Jinglei, don’t you feel ashamed for doing this kind of thing?”
After furiously scolding Lou Jinglei, Lou Potian turned around to leave.
“Hold on! What do you want to do?”
“Humph, you want to let someone else ruin my granddaughter. Do you think that I will sit still and watch you do that? Since you don’t care about Xiaoxiao’s matter, I’ll take care of it!”
“Ha, you take care of it? Old thing, are you overestimating yourself? Do you think that you can take care of such a matter? You think that I’ll let you ruin Third Prince’s joyous matter? Someone! Get hold of Lou Potian!”
Clang clang clang!
Hearing Lou Jinglei’s command, numerous servants of the Lou family swarmed forward. They flashed their swords as they surrounded Lou Potian.
“Lou Jinglei, you’re shameless!” A tinge of determination flashed past Lou Potian’s eyes. He slowly took out his long sword. “Lou Jinglei, you think that you can stop me by doing this? Let me tell you, as long as I’m still alive, I’ll definitely go to the Imperial city to stop Third Prince!”
Clamor!
Lou Potian immediately took action.
With his Mystic Martial Realm skills, those servants were not a match for him. His long sword transformed into a death scythe in an instant.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Trails of blood followed everywhere he walked.
With the martial skills Lou Qianxue had left behind, his body had become phantom-like and his sword as fast as lightning. In just the blink of an eye, he made a pathway by killing. Then, he hurriedly flew up and headed out…
“Lou Potian! I’ll give you a chance on account of you being a Mystic Martial Realm expert! If you stop here, I’ll consider that nothing has happened. Otherwise, you can forget about coming back to the Lou family forever!”
Lou Potian paused and sneered. “Lou family? Hahahaha, ridiculous! You think that I want to stay in this kind of a family? Not coming back, so be it! I’m ashamed to stay in a family like yours. You only know how to use the blood and tears of your loved ones as atonement. You don’t know how to protect your family at all!”
Following those words, silence descended in the area.
