Chapter 73 - You? No way! (2/2)

Lou Xiaoxiao’s face flushed, but she contained her excitement. “I-I… am just repaying you for your guidance.”

Her eyes then lit up as she continued, “Speaking of which, Lou Qianxue, I really have to thank you. I followed your guidance and practiced the Mountain Splitting Fist. My progress was rapid. Within half a month, I perfected the Mountain Splitting Fist. Even my grandpa wants me to properly thank you.”

Lou Xiaoxiao’s grandpa was the first elder of the City Lord Mansion. He had a very high position in the mansion, and it wasn’t easy to receive his praise.

Lou Qianxue did not care. She looked at Lou Xiaoxiao intently, and her expression softened. She spoke. “That’s because you have a good foundation. Now, why did you come to look for me so hurriedly?”

“Oh! I just came to see if you are okay and if you needed any help.”

“What do you mean if I’m okay?” Lou Qianxue did not understand.

“Previously, when you had gone out to practice, Fifth Elder had fallen ill. Afterward, we found out that he was feigning it and had left the City Lord Mansion instead. Everyone thought that he had gone to kill you and you wouldn’t make it back. Ahem… so I came here to check up on you.”

Lou Qianxue raised her brows and looked at her. With a smirk, she said. “You have been underestimating me.”

“But that is Fifth Elder! I know you’re impressive, but we don’t know how much better Fifth Elder is than us… Oh right! How did you manage to avoid him?”

“Perhaps I had good luck.” Lou Qianxue nonchalantly replied and laughed. “I didn’t bump into him.”

Lou Xiaoxiao sighed in relief. “You’re really lucky… If you had met him, you would’ve lost your life…”

Seeing her expression, Lou Qianxue knew that even if she told her the truth, Xiaoxiao wouldn’t believe her.

Lou Xiaoxiao thought of something again, and excitement made its way to her face. “Qianxue, during that period, you must have learned a lot, right? I improved quite a bit as well. Why don’t we spar for a bit?”

“You?” Lou Qianxue gave the girl in front of her a nonchalant look and shook her head. “No way!”

“You! Do you look down on me?” Lou Xiaoxiao became angry. She was now more determined to battle with Lou Qianxue. “I must battle with you today!”
