Strongest Eccentric Consort

Zhen Guogong followed Lou Qianxue’s gaze and saw Li Cong, who was completely pale and cowering in fear. His expression instantly turned grim.

Before he could speak…

Whoosh!

Chu Pengfei dashed forward, grabbed Li Cong’s collar, and started beating him up. “How dare you provoke Qianxue again? Li Cong! You’re really unrepentant! I’ll teach you a good lesson! Also, get lost. From today onward, if I see you in the Imperial City again, I’ll break your legs!”

Everyone looked at Zhen Guogong, who was allowing Chu Pengfei to beat up Li Cong, with complex gazes. They once again confirmed Lou Qianxue’s status.

Soon, Chu Pengfei and Li Cong left.

Only then did Zhen Guogong heave a sigh of relief.

“Although the little girl Lou Qianxue has just arrived in the Imperial City, she has never been afraid of causing trouble. Anyone who offends her doesn’t have a good ending… Pengfei beat up Li Cong today, but at the very least, Li Cong’s still alive!”

Soon, all the famous alchemists surrounded Lou Qianxue and the rest, treating them like esteemed figures and heaping praises on them.

Although Lou Qianxue did not display her alchemy skills at all, she had unknowingly become the leader of the crowd!

“After today, I’m afraid that no one in the Imperial City can be compared to this little girl…” Zhen Guogong stroked his beard and laughed.

He even called out to Lou Qianxue. “Little girl, I invited you today not just to thank you. More importantly, I want people to know that although you have just arrived in the Imperial City, I’m backing you up. Anyone who wants to oppose you will have to seek my permission, regardless of whether they are the Xu family or the Zhu family!”

“Master Zhen Guogong, you…” Master Yan looked at the old man in shock. He was stunned for a moment, then he came back to his senses and gritted his teeth. “We too. The Yan family will be backing you up forever.”

“Thank you!” Even though Lou Qianxue said this, she did not really need their help.

The banquet ended at midnight.

After leaving the mansion, Lou Xiaoxiao sighed. “Qianxue… today, when I saw this group of amazing alchemists surrounding and praising you, I suddenly felt that the distance between you and us is widening.”

Lou Qianxue paused. She turned around and looked at Lou Xiaoxiao. Holding her hand, she reassured her. “Xiaoxiao, regardless of how amazing an alchemist or refiner I become in the future, you will always be my sister!”

Lou Xiaoxiao was stunned. She laughed as she said, “Yeah! I’m also very proud to have a sister like you! However, as I’m still older than you, I’ll work harder in the future and let others envy you for having a sister like me instead.”

“Sure.” Lou Qianxue smiled.

The group returned to the Imperial Academy.

Numerous students in the Imperial Academy still eagerly discussed the life-or-death bet between Lou Qianxue and Lu Liang.

Lou Qianxue had just entered the class when someone ran toward her and whispered to her, “Miss Lou, President Dan and President Wu would like to meet you.”

“…” Stunned, Lou Qianxue nodded. “Okay.”

As she walked, she kept mulling over it.

I haven’t been to class for a month. It’s understandable that President Dan and President Wu would want to see me… Also, I’ll soon be going to the Nandu Nation to participate in the Martial Arts Conference on behalf of Qingshui Villa. Hence, I must give a good explanation to both of them no matter what.

Just as she thought about it, she heard someone shouting in front of her. “All of you, listen up. If I hear anyone in this school saying that Lou Qianxue is amazing, I will cut off that person’s tongue and feed it to the dogs!”
