Lou Xiaoxiao rushed to the City Central and saw that the place was already packed like sardines. She couldn’t help but say, “So many people… Forget it, I don’t care anymore. I should find Qianxue.”

Xiaoxiao searched for a long time, yet she couldn’t find who she was looking for.

Instead, she heard the discussions among the others around her.

“Which battle are you looking forward to the most for this year’s prefecture competition?”

“If we were to talk about the experts among the youngsters in Qingyun City, Lou Xingchen has to be the best one. But, she isn’t here. The Duke of the Su Family is the next best. Other than that, there is First Elder Mo’s son… Of course, as for City Lord’s side, there is Lou Xiaoxiao, Lou Qianyue. They all can’t be undermined. I believe all of their battles will be very exciting.”

“Speaking of the Duke, Xiong Tai mentioned something about the resentment between City Lord Mansion’s Lou Qianxue and the Duke of the Su Family yesterday.”

“Yeah, the two of them were going to have a marriage initially, but who knew that Lou Qianxue would turn out to be a worthless piece of trash. The Duke of the Su Family regretted it, so he began talking behind her back. Who knew, she happened to be there as well and she threw a cup of tea in Duke Su’s face.”

“Ahem… ahem! That means Duke Su was drunk and was caught off guard. That was the only reason Lou Qianxue managed to pour the drink at him. If Duke Su was sober, Lou Qianxue would’ve been of no match.”

“Of course. I wonder what Duke Su said yesterday that Lou Qianxue even drew her sword. Someone had the same thoughts as you, and he convinced Lou Qianxue to battle with Duke Su at the competition today.”

“Haha, what’s there to look forward to? Duke Su would win. There are no doubts.”

“That might not be so.” The person who initiated the conversation lowered his voice. “I heard that the one who saw Lou Qianxue draw her sword yesterday failed to spot how and when she took it out. He said that her sword skills were really advanced. I checked on it too. It seems Lou Qianxue is not as useless as everyone makes it sound like. Before she went out to train, she had murdered the son of Fifth Elder of City Lord’s Mansion, Lou Feng, with a draw of her sword!”

“I have heard about this as well. But Lou Qianxue was at the third level of the spiritual realm, while Lou Feng was at the fifth. So, I’ve always felt it was just a false rumor. Could it be true?”
