Chapter 655: Closed Out!
Two days later.
At Qingshui Villa.
“Old Master, Miss Lou and Mister Dan Taiyuan have arrived.”
“Okay.” The owner of Qingshui Villa was overjoyed. “Hurry, welcome them in. Also, bring over Young Master, Young Mistress, and a few officials.”
“Yes.”
Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan sat at the pavilion and drank tea. The owner of Qingshui Villa glanced at Dan Taiyuan and said, “Miss Lou, we have ten slots in Qingshui Villa, and we are just short of one person. Who among you—”
“I’ll take part. He’s just accompanying me.” Lou Qianxue cut off the owner’s words.
The owner of Qingshui Villa sighed in relief. “To be honest, I heard that in the competition, several organizations with great powers have hired experts to take charge. My Qingshui Villa belongs to the upper-middle range, and I’m afraid that we might not be able to maintain our spot. If Miss Lou can help us keep our original territory, I will offer you the containment fruits.”
“Are we using martial arts to mark out the territories? Don’t worry! No one can touch the territory that belongs to Qingshui Villa,” Lou Qianxue calmly said.
When the owner of Qingshui Villa heard this, his expression changed a little. “Miss Lou, if you could, I hope that you can take good care of my daughter.”
“Sure.”
Such a trivial matter was easy. Lou Qianxue couldn’t be bothered to bargain...
However!
“Ha! Dad, I thought that the expert you have been anticipating so eagerly was some impressive person. I didn’t expect it to be just a little girl who is just about as old as I am!” An arrogant voice suddenly rang out.
Lou Qianxue frowned and turned her head sideways.
She saw a young man and a young lady, who were both well-dressed. Leading a group of people, they slowly walked over.
“Qingying, don’t be rude!”
The owner of Qingshui Villa scolded his daughter, then looked at Lou Qianxue with an embarrassed expression. “Miss Lou, my daughter is naughty and mischievous. I hope you won’t take her nonsense to heart.”
Lou Qianxue raised her brow and did not speak.
When the girl got closer and took a clearer look at Lou Qianxue, she got even more jealous and unhappy. “Dad, is she the reason we can leave only now? Hmph, it’s all her fault. If it weren’t for her, we would’ve reached the venue way earlier and gotten more details about our opponents earlier.”
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly fell on the cold man. Although the cold man was expressionless, he still looked flawlessly charming. Her eyes lit up, and she acted shy all of a sudden. “Dad, will this Young Master also follow us to take part in the Martial Arts Competition?”
The owner of Qingshui Villa cleared his throat. “Miss Lou Qianxue is the one attending the Martial Arts Competition. That man is Miss Lou’s friend, Young Master Dan Taiyuan. Miss Lou, Young Master Dan Taiyuan, this is my daughter, Xia Qingying.”
Then, he pointed at the others. “My son, Xia Qingyun.”
Xia Qingyun came a few steps later than Xia Qingying. At this moment, he looked at Lou Qianxue the same way his sister looked at Dan Taiyuan. Their eyes glowed with passion and fierceness.
Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan frowned at the same time. They became increasingly cold.
The owner of Qingshui Villa introduced the other seven people.
“Lord, we have already wasted a lot of time on Lou Qianxue. I suggest that we leave right away.”
The one who spoke was an old man dressed in a black robe. He was the strongest official of Qingshui Villa. Named Hei Song, he was good with poisons.
The owner of Qingshui Villa took a blonde young lady more seriously than him. Of course, that made Hei Song unhappy.
“Yeah, Lord. It’s almost time. Also, after arriving at the venue, we have to rest well so that we can perform our best for our villa.” This delicate voice came from a charming and enchanting woman with beautiful curves.
Her name was Qing Wu, and she was also an official of Qingshui Villa. She was good at using concealed weapons and was only second to Hei Song in terms of strength.
Qing Wu stood very close to Qingshui Villa’s Young Master, Xia Qingyun. As she looked at Lou Qianxue, her eyes became filled with jealousy.
At the same time, the other five in the group looked at Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan with contempt.
