Chapter 523: So Bold

“…” When those words came out of the young man’s mouth, the butler nervously looked at Lou Qianxue and An Shaoning. “Please don’t take it to heart! Second Young Master is casually saying—”

“Who says that I’m just casually saying? If they can’t treat my father, I’ll beat them up!” The young man viciously stared at Lou Qianxue and An Shaoning.

“…” The speechless Lou Qianxue shook her head. This family is really strange…

Soon, a line of people, surrounded by an atmosphere of discord, walked to the front of an even bigger yard.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Come in.”

An aged voice came from within.

Creak!

An elder dressed in a grey robe was sitting beside the pond and calmly fishing.

His expression was solemn, and a deep crease lay in between his eyebrows. He exuded a strong fierceness and gave off a sharp aura, which seemed like a sharp weapon.

Old but vigorous!

He was Zhen Guogong!

“Father, an alchemist has come to treat you again!” the young man casually ran over and shouted.

“What?” Zhen Guogong’s fingers trembled as he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lou Qianxue and An Shaoning.

When he saw that the two of them looked extremely young, a tinge of disappointment flashed past his murky eyes.

“Does our Tian Zhao no longer have any capable alchemists? Such a young alchemist has come this time…” His voice was cold and melancholic.

Lou Qianxue carefully sized him up. She was neither humble nor overbearing as she said, “Some people acquire knowledge earlier than others, and some people specialize in some professions whereas others specialize in other professions. What’s wrong with being young? It doesn’t matter as long as your illness can be treated.”

“Huh?” Zhen Guogong’s expression changed. He shot a dark and sharp gaze at Lou Qianxue. Staring at her, he said in a gloomy voice, “Little girl, you are bold. You dare to doubt my judgment?”

Lou Qianxue looked back at him with a calm gaze. She did not look afraid at all. “I’m just speaking the truth.”

The atmosphere in the entire place turned silent.

An even stronger pressure forcefully pressed onto Lou Qianxue.

Lou Qianxue frowned. She clenched her fists as she forcefully endured it…

Crack!

Crack!

The sound of the marble below Lou Qianxue’s feet cracking rang out.

At the same time, Lou Qianxue’s feet sank one foot into the ground.

An Shaoning’s expression changed…

Suddenly…

A cold and sharp murderous aura together with the pressure shot toward Lou Qianxue.

“Huh?” Lou Qianxue’s expression turned cold, and she immediately raised her hand…

However…

The murderous aura suddenly stopped when it was almost in front of her.

At the next moment…

“Hahahahaha…” A series of deafening laughter suddenly rang out.

Zhen Guogong, who was quiet, strong, and cold at the beginning, became full of smiles in an instant. He happily laughed. “Not bad! Not bad! Little girl, you dare to look in my face, and you can even withstand my pressure. A young person like you is rare! Furthermore, you were calm even when you sensed the murderous intent! You’re really impressive!”

“And this young man also remained calm in the face of those events. He’s steady and poised. With such a mentality, he’ll definitely accomplish great things!”

“Zhen Guogong, you…” So he was actually testing me!

Lou Qianxue did not know whether to laugh or cry.

An Shaoning bitterly smiled. He had nearly used his mechanism just now…

“I like you, little girl. Don’t be afraid. Even if you can’t cure me, I won’t let that rascal lay a finger on you.” As Zhen Guogong spoke, he fiercely stared at the young man.

The young man snorted. “You can’t use your Essence Martial Power now. You won’t be able to stop me.”

“Rascal, get lost. I don’t wish to see you. Why are you being unreasonable here? If you’re capable, go and find a wife. You can’t even find a wife, and you still have the cheek to show off here?”

“You!” The young man furiously stared at Zhen Guogong.

Zhen Guogong snorted. After staring back at the young man, he looked at Lou Qianxue with a smile. “Young lady, Young man, let’s go. Let’s go and sit at one side. Don’t bother about them.”
