Hearing what the Fifth Elder said, Lou Qianxue couldn’t help but sneer. “Tsk! You can actually remove your official daughter’s position just to make way for your mistress’s illegitimate child. And you sound so righteous about it? Impressive, impressive!”

When he had been ridiculed like that, the Fifth Elder’s expression changed. It turned stern. “Little brat, you—”

“Enough!” Then, the First Elder spoke up. There was infinite power in his old voice, which made the entire venue turn silent.

Lou Qianxue looked at him.

The First Elder was not only the oldest person in the city lord’s mansion, but he was also the strongest. He was currently an expert in the fourth level of Essence Martial Realm.

His status in the city lord’s mansion was like that of her grandfather, Lou Potian. His words carried more weight than Lou Jingfeng.

When Lou Qianxue looked at the First Elder, he also looked back at her. His old face showed a very calm expression. He spoke, “No matter what, Lou Qianxue is the daughter of Madam Xuanji. I think everyone present should not have forgotten what Madam Xuanji once contributed to the city lord’s mansion.”

Madam Xuanji was Lou Qianxue’s mother, Lou Xuanji.

Lou Xuanji had been an orphan girl. She had grown up in the city lord’s mansion. Putting aside the fact that she was devastatingly beautiful, she was also wickedly skillful. Although she was young, back then, she had been the number one expert in the city lord’s mansion.

It might be that this wife was too powerful and perfect, while Lou Jingfeng was too incompetent. So, he found a sense of superiority and could show the pride of being a man on Jiang Suying, who was ‘petite and gentle’.

As they heard about Lou Xuanji, everyone went silent again. But the Fifth Elder’s face turned bad. The reason being that when the First Elder sided with Lou Qianxue, he was indirectly slapping him in the face.

“From the way I look at it, why don’t we...” Seeing that no one intended to intervene, he explained his plan. “Lou Qianxue will be the First Miss of the city lord’s mansion, while Lou Xingchen would be the second.”

“No!” Lou Jingfeng’s expression drastically changed. He did not want to make Lou Xingchen feel indignant. “Xingchen is clearly older than Qianxue, why can’t Lou Qianxue be the Second Miss and Xingchen be the First Miss?”

The First Elder coldly looked at him. “Because Lou Xingchen is not in the genealogy of the Lou Family.”

This was a lethal point for both Lou Xingchen and Lou Jingfeng.

Lou Jingfeng was instantly speechless. He stood rooted to the ground. He understood that the First Elder was firm on standing with Lou Qianxue. He felt a little confused and doubtful and also a little indignant!

Even from the way he looked at the First Elder, one could see traces of anger and hatred. His gaze was very cold.

The First Elder naturally saw it and inexplicably sighed. Then he said to Lou Qianxue. “Lou Qianxue, you are a member of the city lord’s mansion. From tomorrow morning, you should come and practice at the training hall with everyone!”

She hadn’t thought that the First Elder, Ninth Elder, and Lou Xiaoxiao would defend her. Lou Qianxue’s feelings were complicated.

But all along, she was the kind to return respect when someone treated her with respect. She spoke up. “I’m sorry, First Elder, I am afraid I cannot heed your arrangement.”

“Why?” The First Elder frowned.

Lou Jingfeng stood at the side, and it seemed like he did not care about his state. He looked at Lou Qianxue and sneered. “You don’t know your place.”

Lou Qianxue glared at him with cold eyes before explaining to the First Elder.

“While training lately, I have realized that I’ve been hitting bottlenecks. So, I intend to go out and train so as to prepare for the prefecture battle.”

“Sigh... You don’t know your limits!” Lou Jingfeng mercilessly mocked.

The First Elder was also surprised. “You are going to attend the prefecture battle?”

The Fifth Elder laughed out loud. “Lou Qianxue, you’re dreaming, huh? Do you think you are Miss Xingchen? Prefecture battle? Don’t you know that in each city under the jurisdiction of Liuyun prefecture, there are only six vacancies? Miss Xingchen is set to occupy one, and now only five slots are left. The cream of the crop among the younger generation in Qingyun City will work hard to fight for these slots. You’re a useless piece of trash. Who are you to participate in the prefecture battle?”
