“‘Why do you have to steal?’ Hah!” Master Yan coldly laughed. “Since you know this, why did you frame her?”
“Frame her? How is that possible! She’s different from you—” Master Tian subconsciously refuted Master Yan. However, halfway through his sentence, he seemed to have realized something and suddenly stopped.
This puzzled everyone.
Why did Master Yan say that?
Could it be that this little girl is comparable to him?
“What?” Master Yan sneered at Master Tian. “Do you understand what I mean?”
Master Tian was horrified!
There had never been a woman, as young as this girl, who could be compared to Master Yan. Furthermore, she was so beautiful as well!
Someone like that had emerged suddenly…
Master Tian gulped with difficulty. He looked at Lou Qianxue in disbelief and excitedly said, “Could it be that she… she is…”
Master Yan’s expression remained cold and arrogant. He raised his chin and nodded. “That’s right. She’s the one you have been wanting to meet and get to know. She’s Lou Qianxue, Miss Lou!”
Master Tian gasped.
Even though he had already guessed it, when he heard it with his own ears, he was still shocked beyond words. He couldn’t even speak properly. “Miss… M-miss Lou! I have long heard of your great name! I am a third-grade alchemist, Tian Zhongkui…”
Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
“What’s happening?”
“Why is Master Tian suddenly… so respectful toward that woman?”
“No… No! Lou Qianxue!”
“She’s Lou Qianxue! She’s actually Lou Qianxue! No wonder! No wonder things ended up like this! I see!”
“Lou Qianxue? You’re talking about the Lou Qianxue who won against Young Master Lu Liang in the weapons bet, cured Zhen Guogong, and who is the genius student from the Imperial Academy that countless alchemists flock to?”
“That’s right! It’s her!”
“So it’s her!” The crowd excitedly stared at Lou Qianxue. “I heard that she not only cured Zhen Guogong’s illness but also took care of Master Yan’s old illness. Looks like the rumors are true! No wonder Master Yan is so protective of Lou Qianxue!”
“If she’s Lou Qianxue, she doesn’t need to steal the fourth-grade pills at all. She’s more formidable than Master Yan, an alchemist countless other alchemists admire. It’s said that Lou Qianxue is at least a fourth-grade alchemist. If she wants fourth-grade pills, why would she need to steal them?”
“That’s right! Furthermore… alchemists are very rich, especially those of a higher grade. Any pill they make can be sold for an exorbitant price. That makes it only natural for her to be so rich!”
“Speaking of which, I’m really ashamed… I thought that she was squandering money that her elders had accumulated, but now I know… With her ability, she can earn 1 billion, let alone 300 million!”
As everyone spoke, they looked at Lou Qianxue with admiration, envy, and respect.
In the Xuantian Continent, the strong reigned on top. Lou Qianxue’s fame had unknowingly won their respect!
When Young Master Hong and Li Xin heard the discussions, their faces turned even paler. They staggered a few steps back and looked at Lou Qianxue in disbelief.
“How… how can she be so powerful?” Li Xin’s voice trembled, and his mind went blank.
“How is that possible… I just casually took a fancy to a woman, but she turned out to be the legendary Lou Qianxue!” Hong Shao was so scared that his body trembled.
