Inside the Refinery Union.
âMaster.â Lu Liang frowned and looked at Master Meng. âIt seems like you were right. Not only does Lou Qianxue have zero knowledge on how to refine weapons, but she also has no talent in it as well. Our masters and apprentices mustâve frightened her long ago, and she must have escaped. She doesnât dare to appear anymore.â
Master Meng scoffed. âItâs good if she doesnât. Because if she does, Iâd let her blood splatter in the Refinery Union today!â
Lou Xiaoxiao, An Shaoning, An Yuzhi, Hong Qinghe, Li Tingtao, Bai Muyan, and a bunch of the Lou Family juniors gathered outside the Refinery Union.
Lou Xiaoxiao frowned. âHalf a month ago, Qianxue sent someone to inform us that she had gone out to learn weapon refinery. I wonder how things are now.â
An Shaoning sighed. âIâm feeling really complicated now. Although I want her to come back, I also donât want her to.â
âIf this were an alchemy battle or a cultivation battle, I believe that she would win. However, this is weapon refinery, something she has never encountered before. Even if she has a great talent in it, how can she defeat Lu Liang, a person who has practiced weapon refinery for years, within a month?â
âSigh...â
Every person in the crowd frowned and sighed.
Time slowly passed.
The Refinery Union had specially built a refinery table outside their door just for this bet. Lu Liang arrogantly got on the weapon-refining stage.
âYoung Master Lu is here!â
âHeâs indeed one of the eight young masters of the Imperial City. He gives off such a laudable spirit!â
âWhy isnât that Lou Qianxue here yet?â
âIs she afraid of coming? Hmph, I said so. Why would a blond little girl who doesnât even know how to refine weapons dare to battle Young Master Lu Liang? Turns out that sheâs just a paper tiger!â
Lou Xiaoxiao angrily clenched her fist. âHow could it be possible for Qianxue to be afraid of coming here. Even if she really canât win this battle, thereâs no way she would miss an appointment. Yet, sheâs not here. Could she have met with an accident?â
An Shaoning held her hand. âLetâs wait a while more.â
At the same time.
Outside the gates of the Imperial City.
âLou Qianxue? It really is you! Hmph, you brought yourself to ruin! I never thought that you would bring this upon yourself!
âWho are you?â Lou Qianxue, who was sitting on a dragon horse, looked down at the crowd of unfriendly people in front of her in a condescending manner.
âMe? Hmph, Iâm the chief security officer of the Xu family. I was ordered by Young Master to take you to the Xu family for punishment! â
âThe Xu family?â Lou Qianxue squinted and calmly said, âOh!â
âTell you what, the eldest young master of my family has already left seclusion and reached the eighth level of the trial tower in the Imperial Academy! Heâs the one who wants to bring you to the Xu Estate. Youâre finished!â
âSince the Xu Family welcomes me so much, then I must go. But, not now.â Lou Qianxue glanced in the direction of the Refinery Union. âLet me handle a small issue first before we talk about the Xu Familyâs matters. For now, move away!â
Handle a small issue? Master Lan scoffed behind Gong Sunyu. The Xu Family is one of the five greatest families in the imperial city. How can she still think about handling other matters when the Xu Family has their eyes set on her? She really doesnât know her abilities! I really want to see how special she is. How could she make Young Master treat her so respectfully?
âHmph! Lou Qianxue, do you think the actions of the Xu Family are just childâs play? Youâre thinking of handling other matters in front of us? Quit dreaming!â The Xu Familyâs head guard gave out an order, and several other guards instantly surrounded Lou Qianxueâs group.
âYoung Master...â Master Lan glanced at Gong Sunyu. He seemed to have something to say but he kept silent.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gong Sunyu squinted and looked at Lou Qianxue. He did not avoid these people or give in to them. Neither did he take action. He just shook his head and said, âLetâs wait for a while more.â
Lou Qianxue scoffed. A murderous intent flashed in her eyes as she looked at the guards of the Xu Family. âIâm giving all of you one last chance. Move away!â
