“Xiao Xue. Are you crazy?”

Lu Yanwu tugged the corner of Lu Yanxue’s s.h.i.+rt and urged her.

Everyone else in the Lu family had lowered their heads obediently before the visitor. From the corner of their eyes, they caught a glimpse of Lu Yanxue who had held her chin up proudly. They couldn’t help but sneer at her. “Lu Yanxue, do you really think you are Cinderella? Chen Beixuan’s enemy is here now, and we can’t wait to see how you handle them.”

Many of the Lu family members had been jealous of Lu Yanxue’s special treatment due to her connection with Chen Fan. Even though they were from the same family, they looked at the girl as if she was their enemy.

Lu Yanxue was unfazed by the development; instead, she lifted her chin slightly up.

Lei Qianjue had noticed the pride in the girl, so he examined her with great interest. “I wager you are the girlfriend of Chen Beixuan? Aren’t you afraid of me like the rest of your family?”

“Of course not.” Lu Yanxue said firmly, her voice was laced with confidence. “As you said, I am Chen Beixuan’s girl, and how could I be scared of you? If I was, I would be giving everyone the wrong message that Chen Beixuan is not as powerful as you.”

“Very Good!” Lei Qianjue clapped and exclaimed. “I have never expected a young girl to have more backbone than the entire Lu family of Lin City. Chen Beixuan has picked the right girl, and I have to give him that.”

Faces of the Lu family members flushed red as soon as they heard the insult. Many young people from the third generation of the family clenched their fists, trying to hold back their bursting anger and shame.

“Backbone aside, you have to face reality sooner or later. Chen Beixuan killed one of my disciples. He will have to pay for what he did.” Lei Qianjue suddenly changed his tone as his gaze grew cold.

“If I really can’t find him, I will have to lure him out.”

Everyone watched as Lu Yanxue flicked a finger and shot out a gleaming white line from the tip of his finger. The line writhed in the air and covered the dozen meters distance between Lu Yanxue and the old man in a blink.

Lu Yanxue was terrified by the spell. Try as she might, she couldn’t stop the color from ebbing away from her face. However, she managed to stand still and didn’t evade the attack. Tears and indignation flickered in her eyes.

“Shuuu!”

The clear and glittering lines turned nearly invisible right before it buried into Lu Yanxue’s body.

Despite the white silken blouse she was wearing, the fear inside of Lu Yanxue made her feel so cold that her body couldn’t stop s.h.i.+vering and her teeth chattering. Lu Yanxue’s pale skin looked even paler under such fear, so much so that the skin looked like ice that was covered with a thin layer of frost. Her cute face was robbed of life as fear turned her into an ice statue. Even the people standing beside her could feel the coldness emanating from her body.

“The Qi from the Art of Thousand Trickeries was formed from the frigid winds of the northern tundra. Just one lash of the Frigid Qi attack would be able to freeze a polar bear in place. I have injected one into your body, and it will release its Frigid Qi slowly into your system, turning you into an ice sculpture.” Lei Qianjue explained calmly.

His even tone didn’t help to ease the minds of his listeners.

He had shot out a Qi energy into the girl’s body to turn her into an ice block slowly? What kind of savagery was that? Some onlookers still found it hard to believe that such a technique existed in the first place. However, as soon as they saw the s.h.i.+vering Lu Yanxue, their doubts were gone.

“Don’t even try to cure her. Modern medicine wouldn’t help her, either. If you wish to resolve the effect of the Thousand Trickeries, you will have to find a Grand Master, such as Chen Beixuan. Tell him that I will wait for him at the sh.o.r.e of West Lake.”

As soon as Lei Qianjue finished talking, he turned around and sauntered away.

The middle-aged man of multiracial heritage gave the Lu family a contemptuous glance, shook his head and then followed his master, leaving a group of stunned and humiliated Lu family members glaring at his back.

The Lu family was a prominent Martial Arts Family. Never once have we endured such humiliation twice in a row. However, let it be Chen Fan or Lei Qianjue, they were both powerful Grandmasters that could bring any martial artist to their knees. Chen Fan was able to kill a Grandmaster as if butchering helpless chickens. Lei Qianjue, on the other hand, had defeated Lu Tianfen seventeen years ago. In the last seventeen years, he must have furthered his martial arts so that by then, his skills had become unimaginable that he could kill a person by injecting a strand of Frigid Qi.

The Lu family would never be able to rival those two incredibly powerful Grandmasters.

So thinking, many people looked to Lu Yanxue with a mix of gloating and pity. To freeze to death slowly was a horrible way to go, yet, the punishment was especially cruel since it was used on a twenty-year-old girl.

“Xiao Xue, are you alright?” Lu Yanwu hurried to steady her sister,

“I am fine.” Lu Yanxue managed a pale smile. However, her body trembled uncontrollably.

“Where is the doctor? Call the doctor!” Seeing everyone’s stupefied looks, Lu Yanwu shouted at them.

Lu Yanwu’s voice finally woke up the Lu family members. They hurried toward the two girls to help out. Some cradled Lu Yanxue in a blanket and brought her into a heated room; some poured hot water for her. Even in the heated room, Lu Yanxue’s body was turning colder by the second.

“Great-great Grandpa, we need to call Chen Beixuan here! Xiao Xue is not going to last long.” After the doctor had exhausted his tests and was still unable to improve Lu Yanxue’s condition, Lu Yanwu came to her Great-great Grandpa and pleaded.
