“Third Prince invited me?” Lou Qianxue frowned, but then relaxed. “Okay, go back and tell Third Prince that I will be there on time.”
When Third Prince’s men left, the corners of Lou Qianxue’s lips curled upward. She sneered. “It seems like the prince has yet to realize the reality after that incident at Baicao Garden, huh?”
At the next moment…
Her expression turned grim. “But… where did Dan Taiyuan go? If I don’t go to the Martial Arts Conference now, it will be too late.”
She was determined to get a containment fruit!
At noon, Lou Qianxue arrived at Third Prince’s residence on time for the appointment.
“Miss Lou, you’re here. Please, come in.” Third Prince personally came out to welcome Lou Qianxue.
A trace of surprise flashed past Lou Qianxue’s eyes. She pretended to be flattered and followed him in.
“Miss Lou, you’re really famous in Tian Zhao! From now on, no one will dare to look down on you. Congratulations, congratulations!”
Lou Qianxue pursed her lips and shyly lowered her head. “No way! No matter how famous I get, I can’t compare to you, Your Highness.”
The Third Prince smugly smiled. “Miss Lou, you’re too humble… How’s the matter that I talked with you at Baicao Garden going?”
“Ah… I’m sorry, Your Highness! You know that I was focused on refining weapons due to my bet with Lu Liang some time ago. Hence, I forgot to put in a good word for you in front of Xiaoxiao and the rest. Furthermore, I did not manage to catch ‘Jade-Masked Blast.’”
“It doesn’t matter. We can talk about this slowly… Miss Qianxue, to be honest, I invited you today for another matter.”
“Huh?”
“I hope that you can become a guest of my residence. Everyone knows that I have a desire for talented people. If you’re willing to come to my residence, I’ll definitely not turn you away.”
“Uh…” Lou Qianxue scoffed in her heart. On the outside, however, she hesitantly looked at Third Prince.” This…”
“Miss Qianxue, you might not know this, but I have some ties with the Zhu family and the Xu family. If you become a guest of my residence, your grudge with them can be written off.”
Lou Qianxue’s eyes lit up. However, when she saw Mu Wushuang, who was standing beside Third Prince, her expression darkened again. “But…”
The Third Prince immediately understood. “I know that you have some grudges with Mu Wushuang, so I specially brought her here today to apologize to you… Wushuang! Quickly kneel and apologize to Miss Qianxue!”
Mu Wushuang widened her eyes in disbelief. She then glared at Third Prince with grief and shock. “Your Highness!”
Third Prince’s expression turned grim, “Why aren’t you kneeling yet? Why? Do you want me to force you?”
Mu Wushuang’s eyes brimmed with tears. She glared at Lou Qianxue with hatred and jealousy and clenched her jaw.
However…
Thump!
Enduring her humiliation, she knelt in front of Lou Qianxue and sobbed. “Miss Lou… I was wrong to treat you disrespectfully in the past. Please… please forgive me.”
“…”
Lou Qianxue’s gaze landed on Mu Wushuang. “Do you regret choosing such a man?”
Third Prince stared at Lou Qianxue in shock. “You…”
A trace of confusion flashed past Mu Wushuang’s eyes. Then, she suddenly raised her head and glared at Lou Qianxue. “What do you mean? Are you saying that His Highness is bad?”
Lou Qianxue disappointedly stared at her and sneered. “What a pitiful person.”
She put down her cup of tea and coldly stood up. “Your Highness, the act you’ve put up is rather interesting, but I don’t like watching it. So, goodbye.”
“You… are rejecting me?” Third Prince’s expression turned vicious. He glared at Lou Qianxue’s back, frowned, and bellowed. “Wait… Lou Qianxue, there’s something you might not know. If you knew, I don’t think you would be willing to be friends with ‘Jade-Masked Blast’ again.”
