“Thank you, Grandpa.” Lou Qianxue remembered that Lou Potian had always been good to her. Hence, she was also willing to listen to him.
“Qianxue,” Lou Potian said with a hesitant expression.
“Huh? Grandpa, is something troubling you? You can tell me about it.”
“The matter is like this. I’ve e to Liuyun Prefecture to attend an important person’s birthday.”
Lou Qianxue quietly looked at Lou Potian.
“I saw Xingchen at that person’s birthday banquet.”
Lou Qianxue’s expression abruptly changed.
“I learned about the grievances between Xingchen and you after I came out of seclusion. However, you both are the future pillars of our City Lord Mansion. As a family, is it necessary to fall out? If anything is wrong, everyone can just say it out and make the change together. I hope that you can let the past go, and make it up with Xingchen—”
“Impossible!” Lou Qianxue fiercely interrupted Lou Potian. She stared at Lou Potian. “I can let go of anything except the grievances I have with Lou Xingchen. I can’t do what you’re proposing!”
When they were young, Lou Qianxue had thought Lou Xingchen was an orphan. Hence, after her mother left, she had invested her emotions in Lou Xingchen and treated her like a biological sister.
However, Lou Xingchen had been deceiving Lou Qianxue and her mother all along. The six years of sisterly affection was a joke and a ploy to get the Mountain River Sword Technique.
Most importantly, Lou Qianxue could never forgive Lou Xingchen and Jiang Suying for ruining her mother’s cultivation and chasing her out of City Lord’s Mansion! Lou Qianxue wanted the two of them to pay the price for what they had previously done to her and her mother!
“Qianxue, I know that you’re exceptionally talented, but you have just started cultivating. You still have some distance to get to Xingchen. By stubbornly opposing her, you’re attempting to do the impossible.”
“Attempting to do the impossible?” Lou Qianxue clenched her fists and said, “That may not be the case!”
“Qianxue!” Lou Potian’s aged face appeared exhausted. “I know that you have bee acquainted with an expert from the Mystic Martial realm, but so what? You should know that Xingchen has already been favored by one of the eight princes of the Tian Zhao Dynasty, Duke Zhu. Duke Zhu belongs to one of the five most renowned families in the imperial city, and he’s their most outstanding successor. With the Zhu family’s support, Xingchen will only climb higher and higher, and would bee a dazzling star. By opposing her, you will not end up well.”
Lou Potian’s tone had turned solemn towards the end.
Lou Qianxue looked rather confused. She did not expect Lou Xingchen to have this kind of good fortune.
However, she soon calmed down. “I have to endure the humiliation just because she has cozied up to one of the five most renowned families in the imperial city? Sorry, I can’t do it!”
Lou Potian frowned. He felt a headache as he looked at Lou Qianxue’s stubbornness, and he couldn’t find the words to speak.
After a moment of silence, Lou Qianxue calmly said, “From the beginning, it is fated that between Lou Xingchen and me, only one of us can be chosen. However, I firmly believe that I provide the Lou family the same prestige that Lou Xingchen can, if not even more.”
With the help of the memory of the Alchemy God, after Lou Qianxue reached the ninth level of the Spiritual realm, she could make perfect spirit pills and bee a first-class alchemist.
Besides, the memory of the God of war would allow her to have countless high-level martial arts.
On top of that, Lou Qianxue had her own talent. She was confident that she would turn out to be better than or similar to Lou Xingchen!
After saying that, Lou Qianxue left.
It was up to Lou Potian who he would choose.
One day passed in the blink of an eye.
In the evening, all the invited candidates from the various cities of Liuyun Prefecture arrived at the Prefectural Governor’s mansion…
