Strongest Eccentric Consort

“Huh?” Lou Qianxue turned around and looked at Lou Xiaoxiao. “Didn’t you tell them?”

Lou Xiaoxiao moved closer to her and whispered, “I told them that Jade-Masked Blast saved us, but they don’t know that you’re Jade-Masked Blast. Only Grandpa knows that you’re back.”

“Oh.” Lou Qianxue chuckled and said, “Lou Qing, Lou Han, Lou Lie, Lou Yang… Don’t you recognize me anymore?”

“Miss Qianxue!” The juniors stared at her in utter shock. “Are you a human or a ghost? Didn’t you… Didn’t you…”

“You rascal. What nonsense are you talking about?” Lou Xiaoxiao slapped the speaker’s head.

He howled in pain before yelling, “Ouch! Ouch! It hurts! Looks like Miss Qianxue is really back!”

Lou Qianxue burst out laughing as a heartwarming feeling surged in her heart.

In the company of her family, she always felt calm, peaceful, satisfied, and happy!

“No wonder Grandpa bought the house so urgently and quickly. He even hurried us to find Sister Xiaoxiao! He knew that you’re back, Miss Qianxue, right?”

“Sister Xiaoxiao, why did you tell Grandpa but not us?”

“Yeah, I want to know too!”

Looking at the harmonious Lou Family, An Yuzhi and Hong Qinghe tactfully took their leave.

When they left, Lou Qianxue and Lou Xiaoxiao hurried back with the Lou family’s juniors.

“We’ve bought our own house, so we don’t have to live in the dorms from now on. We can go to school and return here together.”

“That’s great!”

“Miss Qianxue, it has been two years. Other than becoming taller, you didn’t really change.”

“Miss Qianxue, what have you been doing for these two years? Why did you only return now?”

Lou Xiaoxiao shot a meaningful gaze at Lou Qianxue.

She wanted to ask about the scars on her face, but she had never found the opportunity to.

“We’re a family, so you don’t need to call me Miss Qianxue. Just call me Qianxue. In these two years… I was undergoing a trial, which just ended. That was the reason I returned late.”

“Wow! A trial? What trial? It actually took two years! Miss Qianxue, you must’ve obtained something powerful.”

“Yeah!”

“What is it?”

“Well… It’s a secret!”

Happily chatting, the group exited the main street and turned into a quiet alley.

“We bought this house from a foreign businessman. Its surroundings are quiet, while its security and environment are quite good too. The designs of the courtyard and buildings are exquisite. Grandpa says that girls will definitely like it.”

Soon, they reached a quiet courtyard.

“It’s here.”

As her eyes fell at the scarlet door, Lou Qianxue suddenly felt nervous.

Lou Xiaoxiao nudged her. “Knock on the door.”

Lou Qianxue glanced sideways at Lou Xiaoxiao, who encouragingly nodded at her.

With a determined gaze, Lou Qianxue took a step forward.

The sound of brisk footsteps came from behind the door.

“I’m coming, I’m coming!” A familiar old voice rang out. However, this voice no longer sounded domineering as it should be for the old head of Qingyun City’s City Lord’s Mansion. Instead, it sounded benevolent.

As the voice entered her ears, Lou Qianxue’s eyes started to water.

When they only had each other two years ago, they had been very close. Unknowingly, their relationship became so deep that it had seemingly become engraved within her bones…

Sensing a strange atmosphere, everyone immediately fell silent.

Creak!

The scarlet door slowly opened.

An old man stood in the middle of the courtyard.

“Grandpa…” The myriad thoughts and emotions that surfaced within Lou Qianxue eventually morphed into the two simplest words. “I’m back.”
