Chapter 292: You Can’t Afford To Buy

“You wanted to see me?” Lou Jinglei did not seem to be in a good mood . His squarish face had a gloomy expression .

Lou Qianxue and Lou Potian had come together . When they saw him in this state, they couldn’t help but stare at him .

Lou Qianxue did not care about the matters she had heard the previous night . However, they had also made her aware of just what kind of a person the Fengyang Prefectural Governor was .

“Yes, Family Head . I wanted to present to you some second-grade pills—” Lou Potian had not finished talking when a disdainful and unhappy expression appeared on Lou Jinglei’s face .

He coldly interrupted Lou Potian . “Just because of these second-grade pills? Alright, you can leave the pills . ”

Lou Potian stopped his mouth .

Lou Qianxue frowned .

Lou Jinglei’s gaze fell on Lou Qianxue . He was unaware that it was she, who had appeared in the bamboo forest the previous night and was the reason he couldn’t sleep . With a warm gaze, he asked, “My niece, Qianxue, why didn’t I see Young Master Dan Taiyuan?”

“Dan Taiyuan? He left,” Lou Qianxue calmly said .

Lou Jinglei’s warm gaze instantly turned cold . “Why did you let him leave? Why didn’t you ask him to stay for a few more days? He had just come to our Fengyang prefecture…” While lecturing her halfway, he frowned again .

“Forget it . Since he has left, so be it . It’s just that, Lou Qianxue, Fengyang prefecture can’t be compared to Qingyun City . Here, you have to be careful of your words and actions . Practice harder, and don’t lag behind others . Otherwise, even if you’re humiliated, no one would be able to save you . ”

His tone was cold, and even his way of addressing Lou Qianxue had changed .

This change had occurred so quickly that it made Lou Qianxue gasp in amazement . The corners of her mouth curled up to form a strange smile as she said, “One has to fight for one’s own face . I naturally am aware of what you said . ”

“It’s good that you know . Alright . If there are no other matters, you both can leave . ”

Lou Potian wanted to speak more, but he stopped . He had not talked about the effects of the Body Transformation Pills and had not mentioned that it was Lou Qianxue who had refined the pills . He originally wanted to have Lou Qianxue make a better impression on the family head . Who would have known that…

Before he could say anything, he had been asked to leave .

After leaving the Prefectural Governor’s yard, Lou Potian sighed .

“Grandpa, it’s alright . He looks down on us now as he simply feels that we are too weak . He’ll naturally value us once we become strong . ” Lou Qianxue comforted him .

“You’re right, Qianxue . I originally thought that my cultivation didn’t matter given my old age . But now that I know I’ll live a few more years, I’ll have to become stronger . Otherwise, what will you all do if someone bullies you in the future?”

“Grandpa…”

“Qianxue, let’s go back and cultivate . With your talent, you’ll definitely become better than everyone else . ”

“Grandpa, you go back first . I want to make a trip . ”

Lou Potian nodded after a while . “Alright, take care of your safety . ”

“I will . ”

After bidding farewell to Lou Potian, Lou Qianxue walked out of the Prefectural Governor’s mansion for the first time to have a feel of this unfamiliar prefectural city .

The abundance and the prosperity of this prefectural city, which was second only to the Imperial City, was indeed extraordinary .

After asking for the way, Lou Qianxue soon found the Alchemy Union . The Alchemy Union here was much bigger than the one in Qingyun City . The number of alchemists and customers here couldn’t be compared to that in Qingyun City .

The counter in front that was selling pills was also packed with people .

However, Lou Qianxue had not come here today to buy pills . She had come here to register her status as an alchemist .

It was just that she had barely walked in when a medicinal herb on the herb counter had caught her attention .

“Huh? Purple frost sacred bamboo!”

Many people were buying pills . However, very few people were buying herbs . The herb counter was almost empty . Lou Qianxue asked the medicine boy, “How much is this purple frost sacred bamboo? I want to buy it . ”

The medicine boy looked at Lou Qianxue . Seeing that her clothes were not very magnificent, he said in a frivolous and cold manner, “We don’t have any purple frost sacred bamboo here . However, if you’re asking about purple bamboo leaves, you don’t have to think about it . These are third-grade spiritual herbs and cost 1 . 5 million taels of silver notes . You can’t afford them . ”
