“He insisted on taking me as his disciple. But I wasn’t willing to, so he got angry.”
Those light and breezy words casually drifted into the crowd.
“!!!”
Everyone gasped in shock.
“Are you deceiving us? Qianxue, you must be joking, right?” Lou Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks. She dumbfoundedly looked at her.
“Why would I deceive you?” Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows. “Of course it’s real.”
“Hold on!” Lou Xiaoxiao grabbed her arm. “Are you serious? Then why didn’t you agree to his offer? Are you silly!”
As she was anxious and angry, she talked extremely quickly. “I just heard that you were silly enough to bet your life on weapons with one of the eight renowned young masters, Lu Liang. Lou Qianxue, are you tired of living?
“I know that your alchemy skills and martial art skills are impressive, but weapon refinery! You said that you don’t know about it!
“It doesn’t matter that you don’t know! Furthermore, your bet on weapons has already been finalized, and there’s no way to change it. However, why did… why did you reject a famous master like Master Meng? With his guidance, perhaps, you still had a chance of surviving.”
“Sister Xiaoxiao.” Lou Qianxue held her hand. “I know you mean well. I didn’t consider too much when I handled matters. I’ll take all your feelings into consideration the next time.”
“Now that you’re saying this, I don’t know if Xiaoxiao should be furious or not.” An Shaoning stretched his hand out and supported his forehead. “Before entering the place, Xiaoxiao even told me that you must have your reasons for doing things. However, when she saw you, she couldn’t help herself from… Qianxue, you must not forget…”
“Yeah!” Lou Qianxue furiously stared at An Shaoning. “Sister Xiaoxiao is my sister. Do you need to say such things?”
“…” An Shaoning kept quiet.
An Yuzhi speechlessly shook his head. “You all… are really bold. But I have to remind you that Master Meng has prestige in the Imperial city, especially in the weapon refinery world. Qianxue, since you have offended him like this, I’m afraid no refiner will be willing to teach you. We can only think of a way now to call off your weapons bet.”
Lou Qianxue’s expression turned cold. “No! I have to get Hawk Rider’s news.”
“Forget it. Let’s go back and think of a way together.”
Even after they left, some people in the hall of the Refinery Union were still unable to react. “Master Meng wanted to take Lou Qianxue as his disciple, but she rejected him?”
“It’s fine that Lou Qianxue had a weapons bet with Lu Liang, but she even offended Master Meng!”
“Does she not want to remain in the weapon refinery world?”
“She foolishly shut out a famous master like Master Meng. Looks like she’s definitely doomed one month later!!!”
Lou Qianxue’s group had lunch together. After that, the others worriedly looked at Lou Qianxue.
“Don’t worry, I’ll work hard. Besides this, if any one of you has inscriptions or books on weapon refinery, you can give them to me. Yeah, I’ll use other things to exchange for them!”
“Our An family will think of a way to help you to look for inscriptions.”
“Zhen Guogong’s Mansion will too!”
After finishing their lunch, everyone returned to school. However, Lou Qianxue went home alone.
When she pushed the door of her room open, her gaze swept past the bamboo slips she had thrown beside the closet last night.
After staring at those rolls of bamboo slips for a while, she pursed her lips, entered the room, turned around, and closed the door.
Thereafter, she let out a long sigh and lifted her feet. She walked toward the bamboo slips…
“I didn’t want to touch Dan Taiyuan’s things again…
“But, I can’t miss information about Mother.
“Dan Taiyuan, looks like I have to owe him a favor again.”
Lou Qianxue closed her eyes and opened them again, then she picked up the bamboo slips and slowly opened them. “I hope that… I won’t be disappointed!”
