"Shaoning, no matter what you say, I will not change my mind. Have a good rest. I'm leaving." The head of the An family said as he was about to leave...
"Uncle - what if I say that I have a way to cure my cousin the prince's illness?" An Shaoning shouted in a hoarse voice.
"…" Patriarch An was stunned for a moment, then turned around abruptly: "What did you say?"
"Uncle, I have a friend who is very accomplished in alchemy, even better than Gongsun Heng. Didn't you originally want to ask Gongsun Heng to treat your cousin the Crown Prince? But now, Gongsun Heng is with the Third Prince and can't help us at all. We have to find other ways, and my friend..."
"Who are you talking about?" The head of the An family interrupted him hurriedly.
"Her name is Lou Qianxue. Even Gongsun Heng admired her attainments in alchemy. Even Master Huo, the fourth-rank alchemist in Fengyang County, once lost to her in alchemy!"
"Lou Qianxue? How come I haven't heard of her? These past few days, I heard that a Jade-faced Gale from outside the region appeared in Lingxi County and she's very powerful! And... she seems to be the master of your friend Ye Zhuixun."
"Ye Zhuixun's master?" An Shaoning paused and suddenly opened his eyes wide - isn't Ye Zhuixun's master Lou Qianxue
"If..." The head of the An family looked at An Shaoning hesitantly: "If you are willing to help ask Ye Zhuixun's master to treat the prince, I can let you go today."
"I do!" An Shaoning said immediately, "Uncle, I do! I'll write a letter to Ye Zhuixun and ask his master for help, okay?"
The head of the An family gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. But, Shaoning, uncle still doesn't want you to die."
An Shaoning's eyes were bright and he was extremely excited: "Uncle, please believe me! If you let me go today, if I can make it in time, that Jade-faced Swift Wind will definitely save my cousin the Crown Prince!"
"Hmm? Are you serious? Could it be that Lou Xiaoxiao is related to Yumian Jifeng?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the two of them are the closest people in the world."
"…Okay, uncle will trust you for once, go ahead."
An Shaoning was overjoyed, and quickly got out of bed and bowed to the head of the An family: "Thank you, uncle. I'll leave my father's affairs in your hands."
After saying that, he hurried out...
"This brat..." Patriarch An looked at his back, shook his head and sighed, "Being young is good."
Lou Qianxue rode his horse at full speed all the way and finally arrived at the imperial city on the fourth day of his departure.
"Whoa—" When they reached the city gate, Lou Qianxue pulled the reins, dismounted, and followed the crowd into the imperial city.
"This imperial city is worthy of being the largest and most prosperous county town of Amaterasu. Even Fengyang County, which is so prosperous, cannot compare to it." Lou Qianxue was in a good mood and walked along the road with a calm look in her eyes.
"I'm going to see Sister Xiaoxiao and the others soon, that's great."
As she spoke, she paused again and looked down at her clothes: "I have traveled all the way and my appearance is not tidy. If I go like this, I might make Sister Xiaoxiao laugh at others. Why not change into new clothes before going?"
Thinking of this, Lou Qianxue led Longma and walked towards an inn.
Along the way, for some reason, many people's eyes drifted towards her until she walked away.
Then someone whispered, "Do you think the masked woman who was leading the dragon horse just now looks like the legendary Jade Face Gale?"
"Jade-faced Gale? Is that the Jade-faced Gale who appeared in Lingxi County, killed the second elder of the Xu family in a duel, caused a big disturbance in the Alchemy Guild, swept through the Life and Death Fighting Arena, and climbed to the 52nd place on the Earthly Prodigy List?"
