Lou Qianyue returned with a stomach full of anger. She had not even sat down before her mother sent someone to look for her. She unwillingly went along.

“Qianyue, who angered you? Why do you have such an expression?” her mother, Jiang Suying, asked. She was the concubine who city lord Lou Jingfeng had married six years ago.

Jiang Suying had an enchanting face, and she possessed a seductive body. Furthermore, she was quite skilled and extremely cunning. In these years, she had become the Madam Suying, who was recognized by many in the city lord’s mansion.

“Mother!” As she started mentioning what happened previously, Lou Qianyue became even angrier. However, under Jiang Suying’s coaxing, she still told her about the events.

After hearing it, Jiang Suying slightly frowned. Her tone became cold. “Are you saying that b*tch, Lou Qianxue, is in the third level of the spiritual realm, and she has even trained the Mountain Splitting Fist to Greater Mastery?”

“Yes, mother! This b*tch has always been concealing her true powers. I don’t know what game she’s planning to play. But seeing how Sister is about to participate in the Prefecture House Competition, she.. she won’t be planning to do anything, right?”

Jiang Suying humphed coldly. “Just her? She doesn’t even deserve to carry Xingchen’s slippers! Don’t over-think. I have heard from Xingchen long ago that this b*tch has an exceptional natural talent towards training her martial skills. So it’s not weird that she has trained the Mountain Splitting Fist up to Greater Mastery.

“However, the fact that she is in the third level of the spiritual realm did exceed my expectations… Although the third spiritual realm is not very significant, I will definitely not allow that b*tch to train her martial skills. She… must remain useless!” Towards the end, her voice was already charged with a slight murderous intent.

“But Ninth Elder is favoring her now. With his guidance, she might immediately shoot up to the sky. That would be worse…” Lou Qianyue remembered Lou Qianxue’s charisma from the fight. The more she thought about it, the more inappropriate it seemed.

“Don’t worry. Amongst the nine elders in the City Lord Mansion, except for the First Elder and the Ninth Elder, they are all our people… A mere Ninth Elder is not even worth my attention.” As Jiang Suying spoke, her eyes changed, and a smile suddenly appeared on her seductive face.

“Oh, right. Didn’t you say that the b*tch injured the First Elder’s grandson? How coincidental! We can use this opportunity to let the men over at the First Elder’s side settle that b*tch for us.”

Upon hearing that, Lou Qianyue’s eyes brightened. “Yes, mother! You are right! It would be bad if the old city lord discovered that we took action. Conversely, if it was the First Elder who took action, even the old city lord would not say anything much.”

Jiang Suying lovingly looked at Lou Qianxue and nodded in satisfaction. “That’s right! Qianyue, you really grew up.”

By this time, Lou Qianyue’s anger from before had dissipated. She laughed menacingly. “Mother, I’ll go and look for Lou Waizhong’s sister, Lou Xiaoxiao, now. Like Sister Xingchen, she is an expert who is in the seventh spiritual realm. She has always adored Lou Waizhong. If she were to hear that Lou Waizhong had been beaten up by Lou Qianxue, she would definitely take revenge. I don’t believe that Lou Qianxue, that b*tch, can defeat Lou Xiaoxiao.”

“Go! Also, if necessary, you can make Lou Waizhong’s injury even more severe… In that case, the First Elder and Lou Xiaoxiao will become angrier.”

After Lou Qianxue sent Ninth Elder away, she returned into her room and continued training.

Her Mountain Splitting Fist had already reached Greater Mastery. If she wanted to improve it even further, she could only look for a suitable chance. As for the subsequent three moves of the Mountain River Sword Technique, they were too complex. She could not understand them at the current moment. Furthermore, she did not have a sword, so she could only leave it alone for now.

She turned her attention to the Divine Refinement Scroll.

The mysterious old man inside the Mountain River Space had said that after her mental strength had increased, she could use her elementary force to enter the Mountain River boundary marker. Then she could retrieve the memory fragments within.

Those memory fragments were left behind by the geniuses from the Lou Family of Mountain River. These people came from all walks of life.

She could not wait to merge the memory fragments of these geniuses. It would definitely allow her to gain more knowledge and insights.

Hence, she trained in the Mountain River Space for three more days. When she finished practicing the first level of the Divine Refinement Scroll, Lou Qianxue immediately opened her eyes. As she rubbed her palms together, she walked towards the Mountain River boundary marker…
