Strongest Eccentric Consort

Chapter 689: Are You Insulting Me?

The spectators looked at the guards from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in bewilderment. One after another, they got out of the way.

“What’s the matter? Even the son of Li-in-charge, Li Xin, came out?”

“I don’t know. Looking at how aggressively they’ve come here, I’m afraid they are hostile.”

“Let’s go further away from them to avoid getting caught up in an unexpected calamity!”

Lou Potian recognized the newcomers, and his expression worsened.

Lou Qianxue’s cold gaze swept past “Young Master Hong.” Young Master Hong’s expression froze, then he hurriedly retreated a step and hid behind Li Xin.

“Ha…” Lou Qianxue chuckled. “Is this the way the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce welcomes guests?”

A tinge of anger flashed past Li Xin’s eyes. He snorted, forcefully went forward, and said, “My Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has lost a very important bottle of fourth-grade pills worth hundreds of millions. Someone has seen you taking them. Let me advise you to quickly hand them over!”

Shoosh!

Everyone exclaimed in shock. One by one, they looked at Lou Qianxue with strange gazes.

“It was no wonder that she did not feel heartache at all spending money.”

“No wonder she could be so extravagant at such a young age! So she stole from them!”

“But, she was too bold to dare steal pills from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. She’s simply tired of living!”

The elder, who was firmly trapped by the Fixed Inscription on the stage, revealed a malicious smile. “Humph! Wretch, even if I can’t deal with you, there’ll be others to do so! I hope that these people from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce can ruthlessly teach her a lesson. It’ll be best to let her feel so miserable that she would wish to die!”

“Fourth-grade pills?” Lou Qianxue froze for a while. She then narrowed her eyes and said, “Are you telling me that your so-called eyewitness is him?”

Lou Qianxue pointed at Young Master Hong.

Li Xin raised his chin and arrogantly said, “That’s right! It’s him! Wretch, you took things from our Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and still wish to remain safe and sound. You’re dreaming! Immediately allow yourself to get arrested, and follow us back to cooperate in our investigation!”

Lou Qianxue reacted and said, “So you want to catch me and mobilized so many troops. You even fabricated such an excuse. However…” She looked at Li Xin with an ambiguous smile. “You actually said that I stole fourth-grade pills. Are you insulting me?”

Li Xin became unhappy. His cold gaze was fixed on Lou Qianxue as he stared at her with hostility. “Insulting you? Wretch, what do you mean?”

“Ha…” Lou Qianxue sneered. “Didn’t you find out what kind of person I am before taking action? These are merely fourth-grade pills. Do I have to steal them?”

Shoosh!

The entire place went into an uproar!

“Merely fourth-grade pills? This girl is so boastful!”

“Master Huo from Fengyang prefecture is the only remaining fourth-grade alchemist in our Tian Zhao Empire now. She actually called fourth-grade pills “mere fourth-grade pills”? Is she joking? Could it be that she dares to look down on a fourth-grade alchemist? Or is she a fourth-grade alchemist?”

“How’s it possible! According to what I know, Master Huo from the Fengyang prefecture is an elderly person. Right, it’s rumored that Master Yan, a fourth-grade alchemist from many years ago, has recovered and become a fifth-grade alchemist now. He can look down on a fourth-grade alchemist, but it’s impossible for this young lady in front of me to be Master Yan!”

“Right, right, right. Speaking of this, there’s another person in the Tian Zhao Empire who’s qualified to look down on a fourth-grade alchemist. He is Fourth Royal Uncle!!!”

“It’s obvious that she’s none of them!”

The sounds of the crowd drifted into Li Xin’s ears. He looked at Lou Qianxue in disdain and coldly chuckled. “I don’t care who you are. You have to pay the price for stealing from our Four Seas Chamber of Commerce! I’ll give you ten breaths. Either you leave with us and accept the investigation, or die!”
