Chapter 626: Chapter 626: Never Offend Her Easily!

“Miss Lou.” Master Lan bowed to Lou Qianxue. “I was previously mistaken and neglected you. Today, I will personally kill Meng Tianye and apologize to you. Please forgive me.”

Everyone gasped in shock.

“What... What’s going on?”

Even the various masters of the Refinery Union were left dumbfounded and speechless.

“Who is Master Lan? Why is he so polite to a little girl?”

Everyone exchanged glances with each other.

“Although I don’t know who this Master Lan is, from how respectfully the masters of the Refinery Union treat him, I can tell that he has an extraordinary status. So why is he actually bowing and apologizing to Lou Qianxue?”

“This is simply unbelievable!”

“How powerful! Lou Qianxue single-handedly suppressed the entire Refinery Union!”

“No wonder she dared to strike a bet with Lu Liang and challenge both the Zhu family and the Xu family. So someone is backing her up.”

“Looks like we mustn’t offend Lou Qianxue so easily in the future!”

The crowd looked at Lou Qianxue in bewilderment.

However...

Despite receiving the apology of a respectable figure like Master Lan, Lou Qianxue was still indifferent. “As an act of courtesy to your family’s young master, I’ll let bygones be bygones. However, if someone catches your eye the next time, it’s better for you to act personally.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I will kill Meng Tianye for you now.”

At the next moment.

Whoosh!

Master Lan unsheathed his sword, reflecting the bright sunlight.

He approached Master Meng.

Shrieking pathetically, Master Meng staggered backward. “Chairman... Chairman, save me! I don’t want to die!”

The chairman of the Refinery Union glanced away and retreated to the side. He pretended not to see anything.

Master Meng looked at Master Lan in despair. “Master Lan, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. Please don’t kill me. Please—”

A flash of light appeared in the air.

The sharp wails of begging abruptly stopped.

Meng Tianye had died!

“Miss Lou.” Blood dripped down Master Lan’s long sword while he looked at Lou Qianxue. “Are you satisfied?”

Lou Qianxue nodded. Then, she glared at the hostile Xu family’s guards and the pale Zhu Xiangyang. In a calm tone, she declared, “Whoever else wants to attack me, come now. We will settle this once and for all today.”

“...”

There was utter silence.

A hint of ridicule flashed past Lou Qianxue’s eyes. She sneered and jumped down from the stage.

Master Lan followed her and walked toward Gong Sunyu. “Young Master?”

Gong Sunyu smiled. “Let’s go back!”

Lou Qianxue had barely taken two steps when Chu Pengfei blocked her way. “Lil Sis, my father wants to see you.”

“Oh?”

“He wants to thank you for curing him. He also has something to discuss with you.”

Lou Qianxue mulled over it before replying, “That’s good too. I can also take a look at how Zhen Guogong’s recovering.”

Half an hour later, news spread throughout the entire city. The new student of the Imperial Academy, Lou Qianxue, had defeated one of the eight young masters of the imperial city, Lu Liang, in a life-or-death bet.

People also learned about the mysterious Master Lan, who was prominent enough to make the masters of the Refinery Union back down.

Some said that he was a refinery master employed by the royal family and the military. His refining abilities far surpassed the members of the Refinery Union.

Everyone finally understood.

“Lou Qianxue once cured Zhen Guogong, who shares a close relationship with the military. It’s reasonable that Master Lan helped Lou Qianxue because of him.”

However, some people felt that Master Lan’s attitude toward Lou Qianxue was too respectful. They guessed that things were not that simple.

No matter what, the fact that Lou Qianxue had single-handedly opposed the entire Refinery Union was enough to stun everyone.

She instantly became extremely famous!
