Strongest Eccentric Consort

“No need?” Gong Sunyu was stunned for a moment. “My lady, have you already given up?”

The middle-aged man also got furious. “Young Master specially came here to help you despite being ill, and yet, you’re being so ungrateful?”

Lou Qianxue’s expression turned cold. “I’m speaking to the Young Master. Who are you anyway?”

“You!” Master Lan glared at Lou Qianxue.

“Master Lan.” Gong Sunyu quickly stopped him and anxiously asked Lou Qianxue, “In the whole Tian Zhao Empire, there are many other refinery masters, but at most, they are on the same level as Master Meng. Master Lan is the only person who can firmly defeat Master Meng. As the saying goes, it’s hard to find a reputable teacher. Do you really—”

“I don’t need it.” Lou Qianxue scoffed. “Also, I think Master Lan might not even be willing to teach me.”

“Humph! If Young Master hadn’t spoken to me, why would I have even set my eyes on you? This is simply so unruly. Did you forget who is Young Master? How dare you really take a seat when he asks you to. You—”

“Master Lan!” The air around Gong Sunyu suddenly became cold. A powerfullong-awaitedtantly weighted down on Master Lan like a mountain.

“Young Master?” Master Lan’s face turned pale, and he looked at Gong Sunyu in great shock. “Young Master… Your Highness, haven’t you been bound to your sickbed for many years? How could you have such a strong and terrifying aura?”

“Master Lan.” Gong Sunyu coldly answered, “Miss Lou is my friend. She and I are equals. If you can’t respect her like you respect me, then leave.”

“…” Master Lan’s expression instantly changed. He quickly got up and unwillingly apologized to Lou Qianxue. “Miss Lou, I’m sorry to have offended you.”

Gong Sunyu turned to Lou Qianxue.

Lou Qianxue took a sip of clear tea with an indifferent expression.

“Forget it.” Gong Sunyu sighed. “Master Lan, wait for me in the house.”

“Young Master…” Master Lan looked at Gong Sunyu in disbelief. He couldn’t believe that Young Master would separate with him over a little girl who wasn’t even well known!

Who’s this young girl?

Could she be better than me, a fourth-grade refiner?

This young girl must have fooled Young Master!

Master Lan clenched his teeth and unhappily swept his eyes across Lou Qianxue. Then, he angrily left.

“Miss Lou, I’m sorry. Master Lan…”

Lou Qianxue shook her head. “I sat because I treat you as my friend, Young Master Yu. It has nothing to do with him.”

Dan Taiyuan remained expressionless. He looked like a handsome ice sculpture that was distant. His eyes moved a little, and his tone was icy, cold, and calm. “Just like an ant, it can be destroyed with a flick of a finger.”

“Don’t you take action!” Lou Qianxue unhappily looked at Dan Taiyuan. “I will do it myself.”

Dan Taiyuan glanced at her and proudly nodded. “Okay.”

The next day…

Gong Sunyu took the unwilling Master Lan along with Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan back to the imperial city.

At the same time…

The Imperial City, Refinery Union.

Countless people eagerly waited for the show to begin.

“The long awaited day of Young Master Lu Liang and Lou Qianxue’s bet has finally arrived!”

“Although I know that Young Master Lu Liang will win, I still want to see one of the eight young masters of the Imperial City. I want to see his demeanor!”

“But… I’ve heard that Lou Qianxue seems to have escaped. The bet might not be able to go on today.”

Even several students from the Imperial Academy came to watch.

“Five days ago, after Senior Brother Xu Tailang found out that Lou Qianxue had gone missing, he ordered the Xu Family to search for her. I wonder if he has captured her and will bring her here today?”

“I heard that Senior Xu has left again. Even if the Xu Family has caught Lou Qianxue, she would probably be enclosed in the Xu Estate. Why would they send her here?”

“True! Lou Qianxue killed Xu Erlang and Liu Wenyuan. She has a great feud with the Xu Family. Surely, Senior Xu would want to kill her with his own hands. Seems like it doesn’t matter whether Lou Qianxue is willing or not, she would not be able to come today.”
