Chapter 194: The Vicious Lou Xingchen
A long figure draped in moonlight slowly entered Lou Qianxue’s room.
“You...”
Lou Qianxue was a cultivator with good eyesight and hearing. With one glance, she could tell that the man who had entered her room was handsome and flawless, and there was a bloody mark on his forehead. He also had that coldness and strong aura that no one else could match.
“Dan Taiyuan!”
She fiercely got up from the bed. The little beast that had grabbed her hair while soundly sleeping was startled awake. It let out a cry.
Lou Qianxue quickly stretched her hands and embraced the little beast in her arms. She comforted it by touching its head. The little beast soon fell asleep again.
Dan Taiyuan slightly paused in his footsteps. As his cold and ruthless gaze landed on the little beast, a fierce expression flashed past his eyes.
At the same time!
Liuyun Prefecture!
In the brightly lit Prefectural Governor’s mansion, a commotion broke out.
“They’re back. They’re back. Prefectural Governor, the people who had escorted Miss Xingchen to the Zhu family are back.”
The expression of the Governor of Liuyun Prefecture changed, and he got up. “Quick, quick! Let them in.”
The sound of hurried footsteps got nearer.
Two elders soon entered the Governor’s room. “Greetings to the Prefectural Governor.”
The Prefectural Governor was anxious. “Don’t bother about the formalities. Tell me quickly, what did Young Master Zhu say? Did he blame us?”
“Young Master Zhu was furious. However, Miss Xingchen interceded for us, and he gave us a chance to make amends for our sins.”
The Prefectural Governor frowned. With a face full of doubts, he asked, “Amend for our sins?”
“Yes. Miss Xingchen told Young Master Zhu that Lou Qianxue and the Lou family had not only advanced-stage rare books but also had hidden treasures. All these had contributed to Lou Qianxue’s explosive increase in cultivation within just a month. Young Master Zhu wants us to get hold of these hidden treasures!”
“Hidden treasures?” A fire sprang forth in the Prefectural Governor’s heart. He had also heard that Lou Qianxue had only cultivated for one month, but he was doubtful about its authenticity. If that was true, Lou Qianxue had definitely received the assistance of hidden treasures!
The Prefectural Governor became agitated at the thought of it. If his cultivation could also improve so quickly...
The Prefectural Governor choked as he breathed. A tinge of greed swept past his eyes.
However, the thought of Young Master Zhu desiring those treasures made him suppress that greed inside his heart.
Since Young Master Zhu already knew of the hidden treasures, even if the Governor got hold of them, he would not be able to guard them. It would be better for him to seize the treasures from the Lou family and give them to Young Master Zhu as a favor.
In the blink of an eye, the Prefectural Governor had thought a lot. He then said, “I’m willing to do my best for Young Master Zhu and die for him, but Lou Qianxue is not simple. She has many forces backing her. Even though the four renowned families in Liuyun Prefecture don’t bother me, I can’t belittle the Yan family and the Gate of Seven Kills.”
“Miss Xingchen had already thought of these. In addition to the Zhu family’s decree, she also borrowed three Mystic Martial realm experts from Young Master Zhu, and ordered us to destroy the City Lord’s Mansion in Qingyun City.”
When the Prefectural Governor heard this, he froze for a while. When he came back to his senses, he smiled and said, “Looks like this girl is more ruthless than what I had imagined. Fortunately, I had not offended her!”
“With the decree of the Zhu family, we’ll be acting on the Zhu family’s behalf. Even the Yan family and the Gate of Seven Kills will not dare to make things difficult for us. Only the ‘Strongest Scatterer’, Leng Qianhan will be left.”
“It’s naturally not a problem to kill him with three Mystic Martial realm experts from the Zhu family along with the three Mystic Martial realm experts from my City Lord’s Mansion.”
“You’re right. As long as Leng Qianhan dies, the worthless group of Essence Martial and Spirit Martial people can only die!”
“Young Master Zhu wants the hidden treasures. Miss Xingchen wants to destroy the City Lord’s Mansion in Qingyun City. I’ll have to do all these, but I can’t ruin my reputation... Let me carefully think about how I should do this.”
