Chapter 278: Meeting The Head Of The Family

“You really want to leave?” Lou Xiaoxiao’s heart tightened as a tinge of reluctance and confusion arose within her. She had never thought of going out and had never thought of Lou Qianxue leaving either.

“I want to look at the vast world that Mom mentioned. What I want even more is to find Mom sooner.” Lou Qianxue smiled. “I had thought of this a long time ago. It’s just that I didn’t get to tell you in time.”

“Madam Xuanji...” Lou Xiaoxiao had also lost her loved ones this time, and she felt very heartbroken. She could empathize with Lou Qianxue. “Indeed. If I were you, I might’ve also chosen to leave. It’s just that, Qianxue, if you leave, will you come back again in the future?”

“Of course. You and Grandpa are here. I’ll naturally come back.”

Lou Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “That’s good.”

The carriage stopped at this point.

“Everyone, we have reached the Prefectural Governor’s mansion. You can come out of your carriages now,” Lou Jingtao said with a smile.

Lou Qianxue and Lou Xiaoxiao got down from the carriage together.

When they saw two dignified and magnificent mahogany doors, each a meter high, they froze.

Lou Xiaoxiao swept her gaze past the guards standing beside the door.

They were holding pikes and looked solemn and serious.

Lou Xiaoxiao could not help herself from saying, “They’re indeed a big family clan. They really don’t look simple.”

The moment they got down from the carriage, the guards at the entrance orderly bowed.

While Lou Jingtao brought them and entered the door, the guards neither glanced sideways nor looked at them.

When the group passed through the door, people came up to greet them.

Lou Jingtao directly ordered one of them. “Steward Lou, this is Miss Lou Qianxue, who came from Qingyun City. This is her friend, Young Master Dan Taiyuan. Make arrangements for them and don’t neglect them.”

Lou Jingtao’s words revealed the importance of certain people in the group.

“Yes, Fourth Master.”

Soon, Lou Potian, Lou Jingfeng, Lou Xiaoxiao, and the others were given accommodations in one area, while Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan were given accommodations in another area.

The two places were not near. Lou Qianxue wanted to reject it, but Lou Potian shook his head at her. “The main family has a big household, and there’s a lot of work. There are also many rules. You have to slowly get used to it.”

Lou Qianxue thought for a while and did not speak in the end.

Everyone went on to rest.

After lunch, the head of the Lou family, Lou Jinglei, who was also the Prefectural Governor of Fengyang prefecture, called to meet with them.

Lou Potian, Lou Qianxue, and Dan Taiyuan proceeded together.

“Greetings to the head of the family.”

Lou Potian had already calmed down from his agitated mood, and he respectfully bowed toward Lou Jinglei.

“Quickly get up, Uncle Potian. You’re still my senior!”

“I don’t deserve it, I don’t deserve it. I’m incapable. I was unable to come back and meet you for so many years. I’m really ashamed.”

“What are you saying, Uncle Potian? Your surname is also Lou, and you’re a member of my Lou family. As long as anyone is a member of the Lou family in Fengyang prefecture, I will welcome them at all times. Right, this person is my niece, Qianxue? I heard from Fourth Brother that she’s outstanding!”

Lou Jinglei had dark skin, a squarish face, and a beard. He looked majestic. As the head of the family, he was naturally good with words when he spoke in front of an audience.

“You’re right. This is Qianxue. Qianxue, come and greet the head of our family. He’s also your uncle.”

“Greetings to the head of the family,” Lou Qianxue calmly said.

Lou Jinglei smiled. “I heard that you are not even 16, but you are already an expert in the Ninth level of the Spirit Martial realm. You’re really a talent in our Lou family, and you’ll have a very promising future...”

At this point, he suddenly changed the topic. “Apart from this, I have also heard about the matter in Qingyun City. If the Lou family there is gone, it’s gone. From now onward, your family is here. You all can stay here. Feel free to say if you want anything, especially you, Qianxue... I have a daughter who’s about your age. Both of you will definitely hit it off well.”
