Strongest Eccentric Consort

Chapter 682: What Does It Have To Do With Me?

After walking out of Zhen Guogong’s mansion, Lou Qianxue heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Dan Taiyuan and asked, “Have you prepared the ingredients for the Broken Seal pill?”

That was the only thing Dan Taiyuan wanted other than her.

Although this man was too clingy sometimes, Lou Qianxue could not deny that he had helped her a lot.

If it weren’t for him in the imperial garden today, the loser of the fight, her or the flame person, would’ve been hard to determine.

However...

“There’s no need.” Dan Taiyuan’s handsome face was expressionless, and his voice was cold. “There’s no need for that anymore.”

Lou Qianxue suspiciously looked at him but did not ask further. “Then, before we go to the borders, shall I help you find your spirit bone?”

As she spoke, her eyes turned silver.

With the Heavenly Eye, she could see the entire world clearly

She saw Dan Taiyuan’s entire body covered in spirit bones, which were lustrous and white like jade. Only his left arm was dim...

She could not help but feel an ache in her heart.

Unable to watch any longer, she withdrew the Heavenly Eye.

“No.” Dan Taiyuan stretched out his hand. His long and warm palm slowly caressed her fair cheeks. “Only I can feel the fluctuations of the spirit bone. When we find it, you and I will get it back.”

Lou Qianxue pulled his hand down and held it in her hand. She said as she looked up at him, “Okay.”

After a moment of silence, Lou Qianxue smiled again. “I’m going home. Do you want to come along?”

Dan Taiyuan stared at her with his dark eyes and shook his head. “I’ll look for you tonight.”

Feeling an inexplicable sense of disappointment for a moment, Lou Qianxue nodded. “Okay.”

***

Back home, Lou Potian was elated to see Lou Qianxue.

“You’re finally back. You won’t be leaving again, right?” Lou Potian affectionately looked at her. “I’ve been thinking about asking you to come to the slave market with me. No matter how busy you are, you have to take some time to accompany me, right?”

Lou Qianxue felt guilty. She embarrassedly nodded. “Yes. I’m sorry, Grandpa, but I will probably have to leave again after a month.”

When Lou Potian heard that, he couldn’t help but smile. “Haha, Qianxue... I rarely see you like this... Don’t worry, I’m just saying it casually. I know better than anyone else that strength is the most important thing to have in order to settle down in this world. I’m just afraid all the training will tire you out.”

A warm feeling surged in Lou Qianxue’s heart. She smiled and nodded. “Grandpa, I’ll accompany you to the slave market tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Lou Potian smiled, his eyes crinkling into crescents. He was satisfied and glad.

His granddaughter was becoming more impressive, and this made him happier than anyone else.

In the evening.

Lou Xiaoxiao and the other juniors of the Lou family returned to the house and saw Lou Qianxue. They were very surprised.

After a sumptuous meal, Lou Xiaoxiao told Lou Qianxue some interesting things that had happened in the time Lou Qianxue was away.

As she spoke, her expression suddenly turned solemn.

“Qianxue.”

Lou Qianxue smiled and looked at her. “What’s wrong?”

“Do you still remember Xu Tailang?”

“Xu Tailang? He’s the top student in the Imperial Academy. After three years of seclusion, he managed to break through the eighth level of the Trial tower. Of course, I remember him.”

“The last time you came back, he had left. Coincidentally, a while after you left this time, he returned again. When he came back, he heard that you cleared the Trial Tower and left after just a day... Many people in the academy said that he left because of you.”

“Huh? Because of me?” Lou Qianxue frowned. “From the beginning till the end, I have never seen him... What has his departure got to do with me?”
