“I don’t know.” As Xia Zheng said that, he sensed an incessant pain in his neck. He immediately opened his mouth. “I really don’t know. That bit… lady left after killing half of our Xia family members. We are very furious so we gathered some helpers to kill her, but by that time, she was already gone.”

Lou Qianxue’s face fell upon hearing that. However, she restrained herself and said to Leng Qianhan, “Release him.”

Leng Qianhan withdrew his scimitar. He stood behind Lou Qianxue again as a loyal guard.

Xia Zheng immediately got up. Furious with the matter, he viciously stared at Lou Qianxue and said, “I’ll wait until the Prefecture competition whereby the Mystic martial realm expert will be unable to interfere. At that time, you will die!”

After a final fearful glance at Leng Qianhan, Xia Zheng left.

Lou Qianxue looked at his back and snorted. A murderous aura swept past her face.

The Xia family members had acted against her mother. It was fine if Lou Qianxue did not know about it, but since she did, she would not let the matter off lightly.

“Let’s go.”

As she looked at Lou Qianxue’s cold, pretty face, Lou Xiaoxiao felt somewhat frustrated. She did not dare to say anything followed her.

Half an hour later, in a garment shop,

“Qianxue, look at this material. It’s so soft, smooth, and elegant. It’ll look pretty on us!” Lou Xiaoxiao originally wanted to buy new clothes to make herself feel better. When her gaze landed on a cloth, she really liked it.

“Miss, if you like it, you can give it a try.”

“Alright. Qianxue, come and try this. I’ll try that one.”

The two of them separately changed into the new clothes and came out. As they stepped out, the eyes of the female customers and shopkeeper lit up.

“Such a pretty lady.”

Lou Qianxue had yet to reach the age of 16. Her facial features were exquisite, and her appearance was outstanding as well. She exuded a tinge of immaturity in her look. In the future, she would become alluring.

On the other hand, Lou Xiaoxiao’s beauty exuded an outstanding aura. She had her own charm that made people unable to look away.

“When did our Liuyun Prefecture have such pretty ladies. You two should have come here to participate in the Prefecture competition from another city, right?”

“So beautiful. She looks elegant, refined, and fairy-like in that aqua-blue gauze dress. I also want to buy that dress.”

“Me too. I also want to buy.”

The female customers came back to their senses, and their eyes shone as they bought the dress that Lou Qianxue was wearing.

The female shopkeeper also said with praise, “Everyone has good taste. After a lady puts on this clothing, she would become closer to being the most beautiful lady in Liuyun Prefecture, Miss Miaoyan. Speaking of which, this dress has just been brought from the imperial city. Many aristocratic ladies from the imperial city like it very much.”

Upon hearing this, all the female customers were marveled, and they gave praises.

However, a non-harmonious snort broke the atmosphere.

Everyone still had to process the interruption when a cold voice came. “For some people, even if they are dressed in silk and carry gold, it will not change the inferiority in their bones. Splendid clothes can only give someone temporary attention. After removing those clothes, they would still be lowly and inferior.”

Everyone was stunned and looked toward the door.

They saw a beautiful and young woman clad in a moon-white long dress. Her expression was arrogant as she looked at Lou Qianyue.

When the shopkeeper saw her, she hurriedly went forward to greet her. “Miss Miaoyan, what’s the matter causing you the trouble? If you need anything, you can say it and we will send it over to you.”
