“Old city lord!”

“Old city lord!”

When each elder saw Lou Potian, their expressions were different. But the juniors in the training hall became very agitated.

First Elder stabilized his mind, and his face revealed a tinge of happiness. “Old city lord, weren’t you in seclusion? Why... ”

“Hahaha! I have already broken through to the sixth level of the Yuan Wu realm. Although I cannot compare to Xuan Ji, that girl, from back then, it is more than enough to save my city lord’s mansion.”

Lou Potian smiled. But then the look on his face instantly changed, and his expression became sullen. He gave a sharp look. “Fifth Elder, say, what was happening just now?”

Lou Potian was the number one expert in the city lord’s mansion now. His influence was extremely strong in the mansion.

Fifth Elder calmed down. His gaze remained vicious and ruthless as he stared at the ground. He said in a stiff manner, “Nothing.”

Lou Potian coldly sneered. He obviously did not believe him. “First Elder, you explain.”

First Elder simply spoke about what had happened earlier.

After Lou Potian finished hearing it, he laughed and turned around. As he looked at Lou Qianxue, his gaze surged with agitation and warmth.

“Alright, alright! Grandpa thought that after your mother left, you would not walk out. I didn’t expect you to silently give Grandpa such a big surprise! Qianxue, girl, don’t worry! Regardless of where you want to practice, don’t hesitate and go ahead. I’ll see who dares to stop you today!”

After he finished speaking, his face showed a subtle meaning as he asked, “Fifth Elder, Lou Feng died in Qianxue’s hands after consenting to the disclaimer. Are you still not convinced?”

Fifth Elder was so angry that his whole body trembled. He swallowed a mouthful of blood. His whole face became filled with hatred and viciousness, as he was unwilling to be humiliated. “I’m convinced!”

Lou Qianxue glanced at him and said to Lou Potian, “Thank you, Grandpa. Then, Qianxue bids farewell.”

“Go, girl! Grandpa looks forward to the day when you return.”

Lou Qianxue nodded. While everyone was looking at her with complex gazes, she turned around and left.

First Elder suddenly thought of a matter and quickly reminded her in a loud voice. “The Prefecture House competition is on the 25th of this month. Miss Qianxue, don’t miss it.”

Lou Qianxue did not stop walking. “Thank you, First Elder. Qianxue has remembered it.”

While she spoke, she continued to walk forward. However, she suddenly heard movements behind her again.

Pa!

A loud slap rang.

In the next moment, Lou Potian’s voice, which was filled with anger and fury, could be heard.

“Unfilial son, kneel down!”

Upon hearing this, Lou Qianxue paused her footsteps.

“I handed over the city lord’s mansion to you to manage. Is this how you manage it? It has only been a few months, and Ninth Elder is already at odds with the community...” Lou Potian’s tone was filled with heartache and disappointment. It made the seven elders, who had been bribed, unable to control themselves from feeling guilty.

Lou Potian pointed out the problem as appropriately as he could. He changed the topic in an instant. “Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. Look at yourself, this unfilial son! How did you treat your own daughter?...”

Lou Qianxue heard until here. She felt her mood become somewhat unsettled. Her fingers could not control themselves from tightening, and she called in the bottom of her heart, Grandpa.

She sighed without making any sound and did not listen to the commotion anymore. She directly went back to the yard she was staying in and packed a few clothes. She planned to leave.

“Even though I have cultivated till the third level of the spiritual realm, I can’t relax. Looks like I, indeed, would have to go out and practice. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for me to defeat Lou Xingchen, who knows the [Mountain River Sword Technique] as well!”

Lou Qianxue closed her eyes and thought deeply for a while. Then, she opened her eyes again.

A wise ray of light shimmered in her black and bright, beautiful eyes.

“The prefecture house competition is starting soon. Not much time is left. I cannot go too far. Then, I’ll go to the Qingyun mountain range! Although there are many demonic beasts, and it is a dangerous place, I have an iron sword in my hands. I can use the [Mountain River Sword Technique] to protect myself. It should be sufficient!”

When she said she would take action, she really meant it. After choosing the location, Lou Qianxue immediately set off...
