nDressed in a long white robe, Lou Qianxue carried a long sword on her back and slowly walked into Qingyun City.

nShe had to walk for a very long time to return to the city from Qingyun mountain, so she was exhausted. Hence, she looked for the best restaurant and entered it.

nThe people in the restaurant only talked about the competition that would soon take place.

n“City Lord will be holding the prefecture competition tomorrow at the central square. I wonder who will gain the privilege to represent my Qingyun City this year to go to Liuyun prefecture to participate in the prefecture competition.”

n“The City Lord’s Mansion, Su family, Mo family, and the younger generation are not bad. However, the most impressive is still Lou Xingchen from City Lord’s Mansion!”

n“Yes, that Lou Xingchen is really impressive. It has been already decided that she will participate in the prefecture competition this time. How glorious is that! After all, this is a precedent whereby there are neither predecessors nor successors.”

n“Indeed. In comparison, that so-called First Miss, Lou Qianxue, from City Lord’s Mansion is simply a joke!”

n“Her cultivation is only at the third level of the spiritual realm. She is reaching beyond her grasp. She tried in vain to research alchemy and even proclaimed that she wanted to participate in the prefecture competition. Ha, with her third level of the spiritual realm cultivation, I reckon that she will definitely be eliminated the moment she enters!”

n“I even heard that she had gone to train in the mountains at the beginning of the month. The prefecture competition is starting tomorrow, but still, there’s no trace of her. Many say that she has died outside.”

nA few young men at a nearby table were sitting together.

nAfter they heard everyone’s words, one of the youths displayed a sullen smile. He turned toward a handsome youth who was dressed magnificently and said, “Brother Su, did you hear? They said that your fiancée had died outside. Why aren’t you sad?”

nWhen Su Mingyang heard this, he sneered. “What’s there to be sad about? Someone like her, who has vicious thoughts and aims too high, deserves to die.” After he finished talking, he lowered his face and glared at that youth. “And she has nothing to do with me. It’s Lou Xingchen, who is my fiancée.”

nWhen the others at the table saw him getting angry, they laughed. “Then let us wish you, Brother Su, for your future marriage with Lou Xingchen and you embracing the beauty.”

nLou Qianxue was walking on the stairs when she heard the discussion from the crowd. She had been expressionless the entire time until she heard Su Mingyang’s words. A tinge of coldness appeared in her expression.

nAfter Su Mingyang drank alcohol, he felt even more upset. “The bottom line is that Lou Qianxue is merely an illegitimate child left behind by a woman who was swept out of the door. Not to mention that she has zero people to rely on, she’s even a piece of useless wood. How is she worthy of me?”

n“Yes, yes, yes. What Brother Su said is right. However, I heard that Lou Qianxue is very beautiful. It is even said that Lou Xingchen’s beauty is not even half of hers.”

nSu Mingyang was not good at holding his liquor. He had already become drunk by that point. He snorted when he heard the compliment toward Lou Qianxue. “What’s the point of being good-looking? She’s not attentive at all. I was her fiancé for quite many years, yet she never even let me touch her hand. And she still wants me to marry her? Let me tell you, no way!”

nLou Qianxue had reached the second floor, but when she heard these words, she narrowed her beautiful eyes. With a cold and sullen expression, she walked toward Su Mingyang’s table.

nSome were still joking about the matter between Su Mingyang and Lou Qianxue, and they failed to notice Lou Qianxue coming near. When Lou Qianxue stood in front of them, they became entranced by her beauty.

nLou Qianxue had rarely gone out for the past six years. Many had never seen her. Moreover, she was dressed as a youth right now, so no one could recognize her.

nUntil…

nSplash!

nWhen a pot of tea was splashed onto Su Mingyang’s face, everyone was stunned on the spot.
