Strongest Eccentric Consort

Chapter 612: It’s Not Necessary

“Two exceptionally talented juniors who can become a supreme expert. However, only one of them can survive the life-or-death battle. It really makes my heart ache!”

At this moment.

“Senior Brother Xu.” An Yuzhi came out from the crowd and looked at Xu Tailang.

“It’s you?” Standing on the high stage, Xu Tailang looked down at him and sneered. “I heard that you’re quite close to Lou Qianxue. Why? Do you want to stop me?”

With a solemn expression, An Yuzhi said, “Senior Brother Xu, if enmity is not settled amicably, you and Miss Lou—”

He had just spoken halfway when—

“Get lost!” Xu Tailang’s expression suddenly changed. He waved his robe in fury.

Boom!

Without being able to resist the blow, An Yuzhi vomited blood and flew backward!

“!!!” Every person in the crowd sucked in a cold breath of air.

“Senior Brother Xu is really powerful!”

“Senior Brother An, the fifth-ranked student in the Hall of Fame, actually flew just due to the impact of Senior Brother Xu’s sleeve!”

“Why? Just because you say so? You dare command me?” Xu Tailang maliciously and disdainfully looked at An Yuzhi. “If you weren’t born in the An family, you wouldn’t even be qualified to talk to me!”

An Yuzhi closed his eyes and wiped the bloodstain at the sides of his lips. As he got up, he looked at Xu Tailang in a manner neither humble nor overbearing. “Lou Qianxue is not in the Imperial city. If you’re willing to wait, then you can wait!”

Xu Tailang’s expression became malicious!

“Lou Qianxue has indeed left the Imperial City?”

“This makes sense. She has provoked so many people and so boldly bet her life on weapons with Young Master Lu Liang. It’d be strange if she dares to appear instead.”

“However, the Xu family is one of the five renowned families in the Imperial city of the Tian Zhao Empire. Even if she can escape from the Imperial city, where can she go to?”

***

Five days later.

“Phew! I can finally see the outline of the Imperial city.”

Sitting on a dragon horse together, Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan sped on the official route.

“Tomorrow is the day of the weapons bet. It’d be better for us to rest well for the night and set off tomorrow. We will still make it on time.”

Lou Qianxue found an inn beside the official route. She handed the horse over to the innkeeper, then she and Dan Taiyuan stepped into the inn together.

“…”

The moment they went inside the inn, the whole inn instantly became silent.

Everyone stared at the two of them. Deep shock and covertness flashed past their eyes.

Lou Qianxue frowned for a moment. Her cold gaze swept past the surroundings.

“Huh?”

When she saw a certain area, her expression changed. Holding Dan Taiyuan’s hand, she walked over to that area.

There, a handsome, pale young man and a majestic, arrogant middle-aged man were seated in front of a shabby table.

“You have come.”

When the handsome, pale young man saw Lou Qianxue, he smiled and said, “I have waited for a long time for you.”

A tinge of dismay flashed past Dan Taiyuan’s cold and ruthless eyes.

“Looks like Young Master Yu has recovered quite well.” Lou Qianxue sat down and sized him up. “Congratulations.”

The young master in front of her was Gong Sunyu, the Crown Prince of the Tian Zhao Empire. He was the same prince who had been bedridden for many years because of a lingering disease.

After Lou Qianxue sat down, the middle-aged man behind Gong Sunyu frowned as he unhappily looked at her.

“It was all thanks to you.” Gong Sunyu smiled.

After pausing for a while, he worriedly looked at Lou Qianxue. “But, Miss Lou, you suddenly went missing half a month ago. Father didn’t get to introduce to you the weapon refinery master he had prepared for you. And tomorrow, you’ll be… Are you confident?”

“You especially came here because of this?” Lou Qianxue was stunned.

“Yes.” Gong Sunyu nodded, then pointed at the cold, arrogant middle-aged man beside him. “This is Master Lan. He especially refines weapons for the royal family and the army. He’s known as the top refiner in the Tian Zhao Empire and is much more skilled than Master Meng. If you have any doubts regarding weapon refinery, you can use this opportunity to ask him.”

Lou Qianxue’s gaze swept past the cold and arrogant middle-aged man. Then, she shook her head and said, “That is not necessary.”
