Chapter 647: I Don’t Believe They Can Coexist Peacefully

Lou Qianxue had defeated Lu Liang in a life-or-death bet over weapons.

On top of that, she defeated a fourth-grade alchemist at Zhen Guogong’s mansion and passed the trial tower in the Imperial Academy.

This shocking news astonished everyone.

“This is impossible!”

“How’s it possible!”

“I don’t believe it!”

“No way!”

In fact, such exclamations of awe rang all over the imperial city.

***

At the Third Prince’s mansion.

“Lou Qianxue? She’s a talented person who comes from humble roots. I didn’t expect a golden phoenix to rise out from such a plain background!” A strange look flashed across Third Prince’s eyes. “Speaking of which, I have some ties with her… If I can use such a genius… in less than ten years, the entire Tian Zhao Empire will definitely be mine!”

“Your Highness!” A trace of jealousy flashed past Mu Wushuang’s eyes. “Have you forgotten the last time at Baicao Garden—”

“Of course not!” Third Prince’s expression darkened.

Previously, at Baicao Garden, he had tried to befriend Lou Xiaoxiao. He wanted her to put in a good word for him in front of Lou Xiaoxiao and “Jade-Mask Blast.” So, he had even offered to treat Lou Qianxue to a meal.

However, he ended up spending a third of his assets!

Even when he thought about it now, his heart still ached.

“Your Highness, that woman is so greedy. If you want her to be of use to you, she’ll definitely raise more conditions.” Mu Wushuang angrily huffed. “Moreover, she’s on the same side as Lou Xiaoxiao and the rest. She might even bear a grudge against you because of what happened last time—”

“Shut up! What do you know?” Third Prince glared at her in disgust. “Initially, I thought that since you were quite talented in alchemy, you would be smart. I didn’t expect you to be so muddle-headed! Although Lou Qianxue is talented, she has a grudge against the Zhu family and the Xu family. Coincidentally, I can help her suppress those two families.

“Once I make a move, she’ll be immensely grateful to me. Moreover, money is just a worldly possession. With her as my weapon, the entire Tian Zhao Empire will be mine in the future. Why do I need to care about such insignificant money?

“Moreover… It’s good that she’s greedy. It would be bad if she doesn’t want anything… Don’t you know that some ten days ago, ‘Jade-Masked Blast’ went to the palace again? The Crown Prince’s condition has obviously improved. Many people even saw him at the Refinery Union… He already has ‘Jade-Masked Blast.’ If he also manages to rope in Lou Qianxue, how can I possibly compete with him?”

“…” Mu Wushuang’s face went pale. She bit her lips and unwillingly lowered her head. “But… Lou Qianxue and ‘Jade-Masked Blast’ are in cahoots with Lou Xiaoxiao. How could Lou Qianxue possibly help us instead of Lou Xiaoxiao and ‘Jade-Masked Blast’?”

“You’ve already said that she’s greedy, so we can just tempt her with money. Besides, there’s an irreconcilable conflict between her and Jade-Masked Blast. I don’t believe that they can peacefully coexist.”

“Really? What conflict?”

“I won’t tell you that…” The corners of Third Prince’s mouth lifted into a cold smile. He raised his voice and said, “Someone, go to the Imperial Academy and invite Lou Qianxue here! ”

After saying that, he glanced at Mu Wushuang. “You know Lou Qianxue. When the time comes, meet her with me.”

“Yes.”

After clearing the trial tower, Lou Qianxue gained the respect of countless students from the Imperial Academy. No matter where she went, people would excitedly stare at her and talk about her. This annoyed Lou Qianxue very much. Moreover, she was a little tired due to her busy day. Thus, she took her leave from President Dan and President Wu and went home.

That night, she chatted with Lou Potian for a long time before sleeping.

The next day, when she left the house, she ran into Third Prince’s men.
