Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Have you heard? The eldest daughter of the city lord’s mansion, Lou Qianxue, seems to be very impressive at alchemy. Even President Zhang Heng sees her in a favorable light.”

“What? How is it possible? Can’t only people at the ninth level of the spiritual realm gather danhuo and practice alchemy? Then what level is Lou Qianxue at?”

“Um... I heard that she’s a piece of trash, who can’t even gather her elementary force.”

“Are you kidding me? Even a piece of trash can practice alchemy?”

Just fifteen minutes after it took place, the news of the incident regarding Lou Qianxue at the Alchemy Union had spread. Some believed it, while others did not.

Some people knew even more. “You don’t know about this, right? The eldest daughter in the City Lord Mansion is the child who Madam Xuanji left behind. She was previously engaged with the eldest young master of the Su Family. However, as she kept being unable to perfect her elementary force, the Su Family decided to change the bride to the prodigy, Lou Xingchen.

“Lou Qianxue refused to accept it in her heart, and somehow, she suddenly managed to gather her elementary force. Furthermore, she even displayed her might at the city lord’s mansion. She beat up the First Elder’s grandson...”

It was evident that this person knew a lot more information. He was very descriptive, and it attracted a lot of people to listen.

Lou Qianxue passed by and heard those words. Her eyebrows uncontrollably furrowed but relaxed within a moment. She did not even halt her footsteps. She continued walking forward. Soon, she had reached the city entrance and was about to leave the city.

“Giddy-up! Giddy-up! Run quickly! Haha, what a good horse! Run quickly! Trample these cheap citizens to death—”

A teenage boy, who had a brutal expression on his face, was riding atop a first-grade steed. He was laughing crazily. He whipped the horse, accelerated, and violently charged right in.

When everyone saw this, they all avoided him. Only a five or six-year-old toddler stood in the middle of the road in a daze, chewing on a candy.

The tall and huge horse mercilessly galloped towards the toddler...

“Baby—” A pathetic wail sounded in the crowd.

When the rest of the people saw this, they could not bear to look.

However!

In the next moment!

Flash!

A white, cold, and shining light slashed across the road under the sunlight.

A scarlet-colored wisp floated.

Boom!

The fat and strong horse fell forcefully onto the ground, sending the dirt and dust on the ground flying up.

At the same time, the youth riding on the horse had been flung out in a harsh manner. However, the youth reacted quickly. He moved his body and stood fixedly on the ground. Soon, his expression became menacing, and he furiously brandished his long whip. He flung it onto the youth who was clad in white and was hugging the child in the middle of the road. “Bastard, you dare to block my path, and kill my precious horse? I’ll kill you today!”

When the crowd saw this, their expression instantaneously changed.

“It’s the Mo Family’s eldest young master, Mo Youwei! This is the end. That youth is definitely dead!”

“That’s right! Mo Youwei relies on his position as the eldest young master of one of the three greatest families of Qingyue city. He uses his identity to bully people every day. He has done a lot of bad things. About eighty to a hundred people in this city have been killed by his whip. This teenage boy is definitely going to die.”

As the crowd spoke, their faces became full of pity, and they could not stop sighing.

Initially, they thought that it was a good thing that the toddler had been rescued from the hooves of the horse. But they had not expected that the horse’s owner would be Mo Youwei. This was bad. Not only was the toddler dead-meat, but the person who had rescued the toddler was also going to suffer from the same fate.

“Kill me?”

The person who saved the toddler was not someone else but Lou Qianxue.

One of her arms hugged the child, while the other grabbed the whip. “Just by yourself?”

Her arm slightly shook, and the strength from her body trembled towards the whip. The whip became like a snake. It made an explosive noise in the air and hit the youth’s face with a loud ‘pop!’.

The youth pathetically wailed and quickly released the whip.
