Strongest Eccentric Consort

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.”
