Chapter 252: Thank You For The Compliment

“The seal of the ‘Phantom Demon Heart Fire’ is still strong . We might need half a month before it loosens and we have to take action!”

Lou Qianxue nodded . “Okay . You can call me when it’s time . ”

Afterward, the two of them discussed alchemy for a while before Lou Qianxue took her leave .

It was just that…

“Miss Lou . ”

She had not even left Baicao Garden when a pleasant voice called her .

Lou Qianxue halted her footsteps . When she turned her head back, she saw a pretty woman walking toward her . The woman then handed her a rectangular decree . “This is Baicao Garden’s VIP decree . With this, you can enjoy the best treatment in the Baicao Garden of every city . ”

Lou Qianxue received the decree and raised her eyebrow . “Did Gong Sunheng ask you to give this to me?”

The question surprised the woman, and she shook her head in the end . “No . This is from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce . ”

It seemed like Baicao Garden was not under Gong Sunheng . Lou Qianxue nodded . “I’ll accept this . Thank your master on my behalf . ”

It was extremely difficult to book a seat in Baicao Garden . Even an important person with status might not be able to enter or exit the place at will or book a seat . Yet, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce directly gave her a VIP decree?

Interesting!

Lou Qianxue kept the decree, left Baicao Garden, and walked on the return path to Qingfeng Hotel .

However…

As she took a step outside Baicao Garden, her expression changed slightly .

Someone’s staring at me! And even… stalking me?

Lou Qianxue turned back and looked around, but she did not find anyone . She smiled as she realized the other person was quite skillful .

Unfortunately, that person was up against her, who had come from the modern era and had strong counter-surveillance skills!

She narrowed her eyes and walked into a deserted alley in a familiar manner…

The moment she entered the alley, the other person seemed to have noticed something . He immediately attacked .

A sharp and icy breeze brushed past her back .

Clash!

Lou Qianxue blocked the person’s attack with her sheath .

Whoosh!

The other person was concealing his face with a black cloth . Holding a dagger, he stabbed in her direction at an extremely strange angle .

“Humph! You still want to play?” Lou Qianxue scorned and knocked the hilt of her sword down onto the person’s wrist .

Her attacker yelled out in pain . He then pulled the black cloth down, revealing a scarlet mask . As he painfully sucked in a breath, he gloomily said, “How did you know it was me?”

Lou Qianxue looked at him as if he were an idiot . “The sect master of the Gate of Seven Kills personally gave an order to protect me . In Liuyun Prefecture, which person from the Gate of Seven Kills would be so foolish as to assassinate me?”

The scarlet-masked young man’s body stiffened a little . An embarrassed expression flashed in his dewy-eyes . Cough! Cough! “How did you know that I was from the Gate of Seven Kills?”

Lou Qianxue could not be bothered with him . “Change a dagger the next time . Maybe you’ll disguise yourself better . Speak, why are you looking for me?”

“I helped you destroy the Prefectural Governor’s mansion . ”

“Yeah . ”

“Yeah? So cold! Can you at least give me some reaction?”

“What kind of reaction do you want? Should I yell, jump, laugh, and thank you while hugging you?”

“You’re so boring . ”

“Thank you for your compliment . ”

Hugging her Frost Sword, Lou Qianxue turned to walk away .

“Hold on!”

“What?”

“Well…”

Lou Qianxue turned her head around and frowned . “As a man, why are you being so squeamish when you speak? I remember that you weren’t like this before . ”

“Alright! Since you asked me, I’ll tell you . My men at Qingyun Mountain found the two juniors from the Lou Family . But we only found scraps from their clothes and… remains of blood and flesh . We are guessing that beasts ate them”!

Lou Qianxue was surprised for a while before she realized that he was talking about the missing Lou Waizhong and Lou Tie .
