Chapter 253: Chapter 253

: Set Off Tomorrow!

“Don’t tell anyone about this first.”

With a heavy heart, Lou Qianxue returned to Qingfeng Hotel. She decided to tell Lou Xiaoxiao the news from the Gate of Seven Kills after some time had passed.

Lou Potian was very efficient. By the time Lou Qianxue returned, he had already bought one hundred portions of ingredients.

After receiving the ingredients, Lou Qianxue planned to enter the Mountain River Space to refine the pill. However, a voice stopped her.

“Qianxue.” Lou Potian seemed hesitant to continue.

“Grandfather?” What’s wrong with the people around me? Why did they suddenly become so unclear when they speak?

“Qianxue, I don’t know if Xiaoxiao had told you this. After the prefecture competition, I told our main family at Fengyang Prefecture about your exceptional talent. They have replied and agreed for you to return to the main family. They would provide you resources to train.”

Initially, Lou Potian had done it for Lou Qianxue’s sake. However, when he saw how amazing she had become, he suddenly regretted taking the initiative.

“The main family at Fengyang prefecture? Why haven’t I heard of it before?”

“It’s normal for you to not know. Actually, many outsiders, and even many juniors of the Lou Family, do not know about this... But, we are indeed part of the Lou Family of Fengyang prefecture.”

When Lou Qianxue heard that Lou Potian had more to say, she placed the ingredients aside. “Grandfather, what are you trying to say?”

“The Fengyang Prefecture has the richest Prefectural Governor’s mansion in the Tian Zhao Dynasty. Liuyun Prefecture can’t even compare to it. The Lou Family lives in the Prefectural Governor’s mansion in Fengyang prefecture and is extremely powerful. They are only second to the Imperial Family and the five big families of the Imperial city. Initially, I had told them about your talent because I wanted them to help you when you were tackling the Zhu Family.”

Lou Potian had good intentions.

Lou Qianxue nodded. “Then, are you saying that you want me to return to the main family?”

“Yes.” Lou Potian hesitated for a while before saying, “The Lou Family in Fengyang prefecture is very big. Hence, every member of the Lou Family undergoes a test when they turn twenty to gauge their talents. If they aren’t talented enough for the family, they would be sent to other cities to handle other matters. Gradually, this formed many branch families. As for us, the Lou Family of Qingyun City...”

Since they had been sent to other cities to take care of the Lou Family’s matters, it was illogical for others to not know that their Lou Family had come from Fengyang prefecture’s Lou Family. Lou Qianxue could see that something was strange with the Lou Family of Qingyun City.

“Actually, my talent wasn’t considered bad that year. I wasn’t supposed to be sent away, but I fell in love with a woman in the clan. The problem was that an elder’s son fell for the same woman, but the woman liked me. So, that elder used his clout to chase me away!” Although Lou Potian was not young anymore, when he talked about this story, he still felt a bit bitter.

“For all these years, I have always wanted to return to the main family. But I was always obstructed by that evil man who has now inherited the elder position. I knew the other people in the main family would only notice our existence and prevent that evil man from obstructing me if Qingyun City’s Lou Family produced a genius... So, when Xuanji appeared back then, I suggested to her that she could go to the main family...”

“My mother? Why didn’t she go?”

“She said that she didn’t like it, but I could tell that this was probably not the reason. I don’t know the real reason.”

“My talents are quite similar to my mother’s. So, while trying to protect me, you also want to fulfill your wish of returning to the main family?”

“No, Qianxue. You’re much more gifted than your mother.” Lou Potian’s expression became complicated. He shook his head and said, “Never mind. Although that place has a lot of resources, there’s a lot of manipulation and back-stabbing. It’s not likable at all. Why not—”

“Grandpa,” Lou Qianxue interrupted him with a smile. “Pack your bags. We’ll set off to Fengyang prefecture tomorrow!”

Helping her grandfather return to his main family—She would accomplish this mission which her mother chose not to.
