To avoid coming into contact with anyone else, Lou Qianxue took a different route to return to the City Lord Mansion.

The City Lord Mansion was as deep and majestic as always.

Seeing a girl dressed in a white shirt at the entrance, the guard stopped her. After a short moment of shock, he realized that it was Lou Qianxue, and his expression became funny for a moment. He then granted her entry.

Lou Qianxue saw it but remained silent. She just returned to the yard where she lived.

This yard was located in a remote corner of the City Lord Mansion. It was quiet and simple.

Lou Qianxue pushed the room door open and found that everything inside was as usual. She failed to even see a speck of dust. It was as if she had never left.

It surprised her.

Her grandfather was a great man. Due to how busy he was, he seldom managed the matters in the house. He didn’t have time to get someone to clean her room. As for Jiang Suying, she probably couldn’t wait to see her leave the City Lord Mansion with all her things.

If it weren’t them, then who?

“Qianxue! Lou Qianxue!”

Lou Qianxue was just thinking when she heard a happy and eager voice coming from outside the door.

She raised her brows and turned around to see outside the door.

With her hair tied in a high ponytail and her eyebrows looking beautiful, Lou Xiaoxiao stepped into the room with a look of excitement. “You finally came back! A rumor floated around the mansion that you were dead, I didn’t believe it! You indeed didn’t disappoint me. It’s nice to see you again!”

“You were the one who cleaned my room?” Lou Qianxue looked rather confused. The feelings inside her were complicated.

She never had much interaction with Lou Xiaoxiao. The visit to the Alchemy Union was the only thing they had done together, yet Lou Xiaoxiao had acted toward her in such a way.

Lou Xiaoxiao’s face flushed, but she contained her excitement. “I-I… am just repaying you for your guidance.”

Her eyes then lit up as she continued, “Speaking of which, Lou Qianxue, I really have to thank you. I followed your guidance and practiced the Mountain Splitting Fist. My progress was rapid. Within half a month, I perfected the Mountain Splitting Fist. Even my grandpa wants me to properly thank you.”

Lou Xiaoxiao’s grandpa was the first elder of the City Lord Mansion. He had a very high position in the mansion, and it wasn’t easy to receive his praise.

Lou Qianxue did not care. She looked at Lou Xiaoxiao intently, and her expression softened. She spoke. “That’s because you have a good foundation. Now, why did you come to look for me so hurriedly?”

“Oh! I just came to see if you are okay and if you needed any help.”

“What do you mean if I’m okay?” Lou Qianxue did not understand.

“Previously, when you had gone out to practice, Fifth Elder had fallen ill. Afterward, we found out that he was feigning it and had left the City Lord Mansion instead. Everyone thought that he had gone to kill you and you wouldn’t make it back. Ahem… so I came here to check up on you.”

Lou Qianxue raised her brows and looked at her. With a smirk, she said. “You have been underestimating me.”

Only

“But that is Fifth Elder! I know you’re impressive, but we don’t know how much better Fifth Elder is than us… Oh right! How did you manage to avoid him?”

“Perhaps I had good luck.” Lou Qianxue nonchalantly replied and laughed. “I didn’t bump into him.”

Lou Xiaoxiao sighed in relief. “You’re really lucky… If you had met him, you would’ve lost your life…”

Seeing her expression, Lou Qianxue knew that even if she told her the truth, Xiaoxiao wouldn’t believe her.

Lou Xiaoxiao thought of something again, and excitement made its way to her face. “Qianxue, during that period, you must have learned a lot, right? I improved quite a bit as well. Why don’t we spar for a bit?”

“You?” Lou Qianxue gave the girl in front of her a nonchalant look and shook her head. “No way!”

“You! Do you look down on me?” Lou Xiaoxiao became angry. She was now more determined to battle with Lou Qianxue. “I must battle with you today!”
