Chapter 418: Indeed Not Optimistic
The people from the Gate of Seven Kills saw that Lou Qianxue had an extraordinary manner. The straw hat she was wearing also made her mysterious and unpredictable. Hence, they did not dare to offend her. They doubtfully bit the bullet and sent someone to go in and report.
In just a few minutes...
Ceng! Ceng! Ceng!
A series of hurried and hasty footsteps rang near the door.
“A girl? Who is she? How did she know about Master’s illness?”
A hoarse voice and an elderly figure appeared following the hurried footsteps.
Lou Qianxue silently raised her head. As she peered through the white silk yarn that hung from the straw hat, she saw a dazzling gold mask.
In the Gate of Seven Kills, the assassins were ranked according to the mask they wore: gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Gold-masked assassins were second only to the scarlet-masked master of the Gate of Seven Kills. Every gold-masked was a Mystic Martial Realm expert who could terrify others.
“You are?”
When the gold-masked assassin saw Lou Qianxue, he suddenly stopped. He anxiously and doubtfully sized her up.
Lou Qianxue got up. “I know you. Scarlet-masked had previously asked you to go to Qingyun City to guard my family and protect my family for three years, but...”
Lou Qianxue stopped talking and did not finish her sentence.
“You! You are...” The gold-masked assassin’s eyes hurriedly shrank. He whispered and pointed at Lou Qianxue in disbelief, “You’re Lou... Lou Qianxue! How’s it possible? Aren’t you—”
Lou Qianxue raised her hand and stopped him. “It’s a long story. I’ll talk about it later. After all, two years have passed. Master Yan’s poisonous pill should no longer be able to suppress the poison of the cold in your master’s body. You better bring me to see him first.”
“Alright, Miss Lou. This way.” In these so many years, Miss Lou was the only person who could confirm Master’s illness and suggest a treatment for him!
Perhaps... She can really save Master!
When the people from the Gate of Seven Kills, who were guarding the stronghold, saw this scene, their eyeballs nearly popped out.
“What’s happening? From this girl’s voice, it’s obvious that she’s very young. Why is Gold-masked Elder so polite to her?”
“Could it be that she has a very powerful backing? Is she even more impressive than Miss Nishang? No... That’s not right! Miss Lou... Lou? There is no one with the surname Lou in Liuyun Prefecture anymore. Unless it was two years ago... Ah! Could it be, could it be that she’s...”
Gold-masked hurriedly brought Lou Qianxue and entered the secret passage.
“Miss Lou, you said that you’ve found the drug inducer for the Three-Yin constitution. Is that true? Ah, I’m incapable. I wasn’t able to find the Abnormal Fire and the ninth-grade beast core in these two years. Master was also unwilling to cultivate with the person who had the body of pure Yang. In these recent years, although his cultivation swiftly progressed, his body... ”
“I can feel it.” As they conversed, the two of them suddenly stopped.
Lou Qianxue stared at the white ice frost spreading from the stone door and deeply frowned. “His condition is indeed not optimistic. Gold-masked, do you have any sealed scroll here?”
“Yes, we have! But what do you want that thing for?”
historical
“You don’t have to bother with what it will be used for. Just try your best to obtain it.”
“But, Miss Lou, you, my master...”
“Don’t worry! If I wanted to hurt him, I wouldn’t have come here.”
Gold-masked bit his teeth. “Alright. Hold on for a while, Miss. I’ll go and get the sealed scroll now.”
Gold-masked hurriedly left.
Lou Qianxue continued staring at the ice frost on the ground for a while, then she clenched her fists.
Ceng!
A layer of bright yellow flame suddenly appeared from her body.
At the same time, a hot and powerful aura forcefully spread toward her surroundings.
Crackle! Crackle!
The ice frost on the ground swiftly melted.
Lou Qianxue relaxed her hands. With a calm expression, she pushed open the stone door, stepped on the frosted ground, and slowly entered the room.
Whenever she took a step, the ice frost underneath her foot melted and became a pool of water as if it were all a miracle.
