As Lou Xiaoxiao watched An Shaoningâs carriage leave, she tightly clenched her fists!
âGong Sunheng!â
âEven if you belong to the Alchemy Kingâs mansion, I, Lou Xiaoxiao, swear that Iâll kill you with my own hands! I will take revenge for my sister Qianxue and An Shaoning!â
âI have to take this revenge; otherwise, Iâm not human!â
As her voice fell, her eyes gradually deepened. A firm expression appeared in them. âStronger! I must become stronger! I have to surpass Gong Sunheng and the Alchemy Kingâs mansion! I have to take Qianxueâs place and bear the responsibility that should have been mine! I have to protect everyone in our Lou family from Qingyun City!â
After making her determination, Lou Xiaxiao pulled the reins and turned around, wildly speeding on her horse toward the Fengyang prefecture.
A month later, all the people who had emerged victorious at the admission trial for the Imperial Academy headed toward the Imperial city.
These people went through the admission test for the Imperial Academy again, and a majority of them officially entered the academy.
Half a year later.
Princess Xueqing from Tian Zhao Imperial City, who had been in a coma for half a year, regained consciousness. However, she had lost her memory, and couldnât remember who had attacked her and Lou Shuyin from the Fengyang prefecture back then.
Thus, this matter was left unresolved.
Time slowly passed by like a song.
However, the boundary of the Abnormal Fire in the deeper areas of Qingyun Mountain remained silent throughout.
The bright yellow Abnormal Fire and its blue origin source silently floated in the air, never making any sound...
There were no signs of human life at all within the whole boundary of the Abnormal Fire.
However, there was a shadow in the center of the flame. The shadow seemed lifeless as it endured the most painful burns of the raging fire. Rays of faint green light flashed past this shadow from time to time...
Suddenly, an unprecedented, powerful aura silently spread to all areas of the boundary of the Abnormal Fire.
Two years later.
Tian Zhao Dynasty, Imperial City.
âSister Xiaoxiao, did you receive the Third Princeâs birthday invitation?â
Two years were enough for the panicky juniors of the Lou family, who were confused and naive back then, to become mature and persistent.
âYeah.â
However, the one who had changed the most was Lou Xiaoxiao, who was practicing with her sword.
In a short span of two years, she had advanced from the first level of the Essence Martial Realm to the ninth. Her demonic talent and her cultivation speed made many geniuses in the Imperial City look at her in a new light. It was especially so in recent times as she had started to progress toward the Mystic Martial realm. This had made even the princes in the Imperial City take not of her.
Furthermore, the Third Prince took advantage of his connection with the Lou family in Fengyang prefecture. He enjoyed the benefits of being in a favorable position as he had the priority to invite Lou Xiaoxiao.
âAre you really going tonight? Donât you usually dislike these kinds of banquets?â Lou Han vexedly looked at Lou Xiaoxiao.
Lou Xiaoxiao sharply looked at him with a bright gaze. She said in a voice filled with deterrence, âGong Sunheng is also coming tonight.â
âOh, I see. Iâm even more worried about you now. Although we havenât forgotten about the revenge for Miss Qianxue and Young Master An, we are not his match yet. Why donât weââ
âWait for a few more years?â Lou Xiaoxiao lowered her head. âI know. Donât worry. I have a sense of propriety.â As she spoke, she waved her hand. âNothing will happen to me. You all can go back.â
A few juniors from the Lou family glanced at one another. Thereafter, they helplessly shook their heads and left.
âAy, itâd have been great if Young Master Leng or Young Master Ye were here. They couldâve definitely persuaded Sister Xiaoxiao.â
âItâs a pity that it has been a year since Young Master Leng left without any news. And Young Master Ye, he has gone to Lingxi County a few days ago to take part in the Alchemy competition.â
âSpeaking of this, Young Master Ye is really impressive. He actually reached the Mystic Martial realm one step earlier than Sister Xiaoxiao. On top of that, heâs an impressive alchemist. In just a short period of two years, he became a third-grade alchemist. This qualification is more than enough for him to enter the Alchemy Kingâs mansion.â
