Chapter 49
It was just an excuse when Lou Qianxue had said that she was going to search for food.
In reality, she just wanted to see who was that person who had been stalking them.
Under the circumstance of not being in a battle, she could enter the Mountain River Space anytime.
And when she was inside the space, people on the outside couldn’t see her. But she could observe the situation outside at all times.
So, as she was picking fruits, Lou Qianxue’s heart twitched a little. She seized the first opportunity to enter the Mountain River Space.
What others saw was her vanishing in thin air.
After she had disappeared for a while, a skinny figure flew to the tree branch that she had been standing on. “That rascal is really odd! Her cultivation is so low, yet her skills aren’t sub-par at all. It was just a blink of an eye, and still, I lost her?”
While he uttered those words, he anxiously searched around. “Weird! How did that rascal vanish? What kind of weird tactics did she use exactly?”
The figure really could not find Lou Qianxue. So, he waited for a while, and then, flew away from the tree branch.
Only after he was gone, did Lou Qianxue come out of the Mountain River Space. There was a dark expression on her face. She carried the fruits that she had picked earlier and went to look for Li Wen and Li Wu.
When she had hidden inside the Mountain River Space just now, she clearly saw that the identity of the person who was stalking her. It was the Fifth Elder from the city lord’s mansion!
Of course, she would not be that naive to think that the Fifth Elder was sent by her Grandpa to come and protect her.
Even if she were to use her toes to think, she would still realize that this old hag was definitely here to kill her. He wanted to seek revenge for Lou Feng!
It’s a pity that although her skills were advanced, currently, she was no match for that old fart!
It seemed that she had to think properly about what she should do!
The moment Li Bo returned, he saw the two brothers, Li Wen and Li Wu, injured all over. Li Wei was also unconscious. An ugly expression appeared on his face. “What’s this? What happened to First Miss?”
Li Wen immediately told Li Bo about everything that had just happened.
When he heard the account, Li Bo’s eyes turned ferocious and his face darkened. “How dare that woman treat our First Miss like that, I won’t let her off!”
He totally disregarded the fact that Lou Qianxue had saved Li Wen, Li Wu, and Li Wei. As for the part about the light beast core, he acted like he didn’t hear it.
Li Bo shook Li Wei conscious. When she came back to her sense and saw him, she started crying out loud in a pathetic manner. It made Li Bo feel extremely sympathetic towards her.
Li Wei also bore a grudge against Li Wen and Li Wu, as they had resisted her order at the teahouse previously. She was also furious that both of them allowed Lou Qianxue to hit her unconscious. So, she complained to Li Bo. “Butler Li, Li Wen and Li Wu bullied me. When that b*tch bullied me, not only did they ignore my words on helping me, but they also said that I’m in the wrong… They, actually allowed that b*tch to hit me…”
When he heard that, Li Bo’s expression turned cold. From Li Wen and Li Wu’s words just now, he could hear their admiration for Lou Qianxue. He instantly squinted and said in a cold voice. “You guys didn’t take good care of First Miss. You let her go through so much injustice. Receive your punishment!”
Li Wu felt that he had given his all to Li Wei along the way. He felt a little indignant. He was just about to rebut when Li Bo glared at him with murderous eyes. “We are outside now, and it’s inconvenient to carry out a punishment. You two, chop off one limb each as a form of punishment. If this happens again, I’ll claim your lives!”
Li Wen and Li Wu’s expressions changed when they heard it.
If cultivators were to lose a limb, their future would be gone. It was especially true with the status of these two brothers. They definitely didn’t have what it took to purchase pills that could allow them to re-grow their limbs.
Li Wei had not expected the punishment to be so heavy. She felt rather regretful deep down. But she did not seek mercy for them. She just watched with her bare eyes as both of the brothers broke one arm each.
When Lou Qianxue returned, she saw such a bloody scene.
She was slightly startled. Then, she saw an unfamiliar elder, who gave her an unkind look and asked in a cold voice. “So you’re that Qianxue?”
