Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Aren’t Any Better Than Us Country Bumpkins

If the Lou family in Qingyun City is gone, it’s gone.

Upon hearing these words, Lou Potian felt uncomfortable.

The corners of his mouth moved as he forced a smile and said, “The daughter of the head of the family must be outstanding too.”

A smile appeared on Lou Jinglei’s face. “That girl, Shuyin, can’t be compared to my niece, Qianxue. She’s extremely mischievous. I’m still counting on her to learn from Qianxue.”

Lou Jinglei did not want to talk further on this topic. His gaze very quickly shifted to Dan Taiyuan, following which his eyes brightened. He even bowed with clasped hands as he said, “This must be Young Master Dan Taiyuan from the Heavenly Martial Realm.”

Lou Potian was startled for a while, and he suddenly realized that perhaps, Dan Taiyuan was the only person whom Lou Jinglei wanted to meet. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left Dan Taiyuan, who was so eye-catching, at the end...

However, the handsome, cold, magnificent, and god-like man with a compelling aura, who could not be ignored by others, looked perfect, flawless, and cold as he kept his gaze focused on Lou Qianxue.

His expression was indifferent and merciless, and it seemed as if he had not heard Lou Jinglei. He did not show any reaction.

A tinge of displeasure flashed past Lou Jinglei’s eyes. “I wonder where you are from? You’re so young, yet you have such a cultivation?”

Once again, Dan Taiyuan did not reply.

A tinge of embarrassment swept past Lou Jinglei’s face. He coughed and looked at Lou Qianxue again. “My niece, Qianxue, is this person unhappy with our Lou family?”

“It’s not. He’s always like this.” Although Lou Jinglei politely spoke, his attitude was high and mighty. It even sounded like he was giving them alms. Lou Qianxue did not like it.

Lou Jinglei heaved a sigh of relief. “I see. He’s indeed from the Heavenly Martial Realm. He really has character.”

After he finished talking, the entire place went quiet again.

Lou Jinglei’s face changed, and he forced a smile as he said, “I’ll find someone to bring you all around so that you can become familiar with the environment and adapt to here sooner.”

He did not mention about hosting them again.

Lou Potian also did not mind. “Thank you, head of the family.”

Having rested for a short period, the juniors from Qingyun City also became excited. They could not help themselves from walking and curiously looking around in the Prefectural Governor’s mansion.

Soon.

They discovered an area packed with people. From time to time, deafening exclamations rang out, and the place was bustling with activity. The juniors went forward out of curiosity.

“Huh! Demonic beasts! It’s demonic beasts! So many demonic beasts!”

After finding out the situation, the juniors of the Lou family from Qingyun City agitatedly shouted.

“So many demonic beasts are being reared in the Prefectural Governor’s mansion in Fengyang Prefecture!” Some of the juniors could not help themselves from exclaiming.

There were dozens of cages in the central square in front of them. Every cage contained a large-sized demonic beast.

Lou Xiaoxiao sucked in a cold breath of air. “Those demonic beasts have powerful auras. Each of them can make others tremble. They are really scary!”

When a person beside Lou Xiaoxiao heard this, he turned around and glanced at her with disdain. “Who are you? Are you an idiot? Don’t you know that all the demonic beasts in my Prefectural Governor’s mansion are fourth stage and above?” The more that person said, the prouder he became. “Fourth stage, do you know what the fourth stage means? A fourth stage demonic beast is equivalent to a powerhouse from the Essence Martial realm, a powerhouse from the Essence Martial realm. Do you know that? Country bumpkin!”

“I... We are neither idiots nor country bumpkins.” Lou Xiaoxiao and the others turned red with embarrassment after being ticked off, but it did not stop her from explaining. “It’s just that it’s our first time here. We just don’t know about it.”

“First time here? Ha, country bumpkins, look at your dressing. It’s so pale. I really wonder how you all manage to enter!”

At this moment, the entire place suddenly started bustling. Many people shrieked in excitement.

That person also excitedly said, “Watch carefully, country bumpkins. This is such an exciting duel. Besides the life and death duels in the black market, only our Prefectural Governor’s mansion can have such wonderful duels.”

Lou Xiaoxiao did not bother about the changes on the ground, and she raised her eyebrows.

Clang!

She drew her long sword out from the sheath.

At the next moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The robe of the person beside her instantly became scraps of cloth, and the pieces hung on his body.

Lou Xiaoxiao curled her lips and smiled. She used her sword to pat that person’s shoulders and said, “Hey, city person, I see that your clothes aren’t any better than that of us country bumpkins!”
