“Lou Qianxue, I told you to leave the city lord’s mansion a few days ago. Why didn’t you follow my words? Also, you injured Lou Waizhong?” Lou Jingfeng never spoke to Lou Qianxue in a nice manner. Whenever he spoke, his tone would be a reprimanding one.

Lou Qianxue looked cold. She remained calm, as she said. “My name is in the genealogy. With the ability of a city lord, I don’t think you have the right to remove my name from it yet.”

That right was in the hands of her grandfather, Lou Potian!

“You!” He was being referred to as the city lord by his biological daughter and was being ridiculed like that. Lou Jingfeng’s face turned red. “I am the lord of a city, yet I don’t have the right to chase you out? Also, Lou Waizhong…”

“City lord.”

What surprised everyone was that Lou Xiaoxiao actually stepped forward this time. She spoke in a humble manner. “Xiao Zhong and Miss Qianxue were merely messing around. There would naturally be a winner and a loser. Xiao Zhong’s skills were not as good as hers. It was no wonder that he lost to Miss Qianxue.”

When she said this, everyone present there, including the nine elders, were shocked.

Lou Xiaoxiao, who always shielded her brother’s shortcomings, is actually defending her in front of the nine elders today, defending the ‘useless trash’ that beat up her brother?

Lou Feng, who had intruded upon them a while ago, also looked at Lou Xiaoxiao with dull eyes.

The First Elder revealed a thoughtful look. He still clearly remembered the words his granddaughter, Lou Xiaoxiao, had said in the morning when she went out. She had said that she wanted to teach Lou Qianxue a lesson and seek revenge for Lou Waizhong.

So little time has passed, and yet, she has changed her mind. She is now even speaking for Lou Qianxue?

The way that the First Elder looked at Lou Qianxue, unknowingly became deeper and filled with more curiosity.

First, Lou Qianxue had made Lou Jingfeng speechless. Now, he was made speechless by Lou Xiaoxiao like this. His face had turned really bad. “Fine, fine! Let’s not talk about those two matters. Lou Qianxue, I’m asking you. Why did you lie to everyone that you had no spiritual power and then secretly learned the Mountain Splitting Fist?”

Lou Qianxue had noticed that no matter whether she was outstanding or not, no matter what she did, Lou Jingfeng would always doubt her intentions.

Lou Jingfeng probably hated her so much that he wanted her dead!

Lou Qianxue felt a dull ache in her heart. She clenched her fist, and the corner of her lips curled up. She knitted her eyebrows and asked Lou Jingfeng, “What is your concern if I have any spiritual power, and when I started learning the Mountain Splitting Fist?”

“Y-You…” Such an untamed attitude angered Lou Jingfeng.

“City lord.” The Ninth Elder suddenly spoke up and cut off Lou Jingfeng’s fury. “Since Miss Qianxue can train and is rather talented, then, you don’t have to be in such a hurry to chase her out of the mansion. From what I think, we should let Miss Qianxue train with the other youths from the younger generation in the city lord’s mansion.”

Lou Jingfeng’s expression turned dark. He coldly humphed. “Ninth Elder, since you didn’t say anything when we made the decision a few days ago, you shouldn’t speak up now.”

It was only now that Lou Qianxue knew it was not Lou Jingfeng’s individual intention to chase her out of the mansion. Rather, it also included the involvement of the other elders.

Just because Lou Xingchen was more talented than me? Because she was more advanced than me, she had more value?

So they wanted to get rid of this authentic lady and let a mistress’s illegitimate daughter take over all that belonged to me?

Where do these people put my mother and me?

A cold expression flashed past her eyes.

Then, the Fifth Elder spoke up, “No matter how good Lou Qianxue’s talent is, she is not as good as Miss Xingchen. Also, Miss Xingchen has received some resources from the prefecture guard. No matter how we look at it, she is several times better than Lou Qianxue. We have no reason to leave Miss Xingchen without any proper identity just because of Lou Qianxue.
