Strongest Eccentric Consort

Chapter 50: I’m Afraid This Is a Trap

As he asked the question, the elder exerted a strong pressure around him. He forcefully focused it towards Lou Qianxue.

But who was Lou Qianxue?

She was an elite, who had been in a special forces team!

What kind of situation had she not encountered before? And how could she be so easily unsettled by others now?

To really unsettle her, it would take someone whose cultivation was as high as the advanced Dan Taiyuan!

Her expression remained calm, as she said, “I am. You must be the Li Bo that they speak of.”

“Not bad!” Li Bo coldly humphed. “You were previously—”

Li Bo was just about to ask something when Lou Qianxue’s expression suddenly changed. “Who is there?” She did not wait for Li Bo and the others to react. She darted towards a big tree.

And when she got near the big tree, the corner of her lips curled upwards. She revealed a sly smile.

The Fifth Elder, who had been stalking her, had found her again. But he had been exposed before Li Bo and the others.

Li Bo and the others had no idea that someone was secretly observing them. All of their expressions instantly changed. It was especially apparent in Li Bo. When he noticed that the Fifth Elder’s cultivation was not low, a serious look appeared in his eyes.

Lou Qianxue did not really go near the Fifth Elder.

When everyone’s eyes landed on the Fifth Elder, she stopped in a graceful manner. Acting surprised, she asked. “Fifth Elder? It’s you? Could you be... protecting me in silence all this time?”

The Fifth Elder did not expect Lou Qianxue to notice him. He had been given a shock. When he regained his composure, Lou Qianxue had already retreated and stood near Li Bo.

Then, the Fifth Elder couldn’t help but size Li Bo up.

There serious Li Bo let out threatening pressure, staring at the Fifth Elder with an unkind look. The Fifth Elder’s heart skipped a bit when he saw this. He couldn’t help but think. “Could that little rascal’s disappearance earlier was because this old fart did something?”

“Since it is so, they should have known since long that I have been following them. Why didn’t they expose me sooner or later? Why did she have to wait for this elder to appear before exposing me?”

“Oh no! I’m afraid this could be a trap! That little rascal might be working with outside forces in order to deal with me!”

The Fifth Elder’s expression changed as he thought of this. He looked at Li Bo with his eyes filled with threats. But he could see that Li Bo had a slightly higher cultivation than him. He knew that he would not win today. So, he vigilantly said, “That’s right, First Miss. It is me. The lord is worried about you coming to such a dangerous place, so he sent me to protect you.”

“Then I’m so sorry to trouble you, Fifth Elder.” Lou Qianxue scoffed deep down. Even if Lou Potian was really worried and wanted to send someone to protect her, he definitely wouldn’t choose Fifth Elder.

“Not at all! Since you are safe and sound, I shall take my leave. If you encounter any danger later, remember to call for me.” Since he had put on an act, he had to go through with it. To completely retreat from the situation, the Fifth Elder beautifully wrapped up his formalities. As soon as he finished what he wanted to say, he immediately left. He was afraid that Lou Qianxue and Li Bo might rush forward and attack him.

Li Bo was also scared deep down.

“I never thought that there’d actually be an expert in the dark defending this little b*tch!

“It seems that the cultivation of the person protecting her isn’t low. Also, she specially called out that person when I said that I wanted to claim her life. Seems like he has seen my intentions and especially appeared here to warn us.

“Just now, that so-called Fifth Elder glared at me so menacingly. Perhaps he noticed my intention to kill. If I were to really act, that old fart would definitely not sit back and watch!

“No way! Seems like we have to clarify her identity. We can’t act hastily anymore!”

After the Fifth Elder left, Li Bo’s had a drastic change in thoughts. Ultimately, he still gave Lou Qianxue a very forced smile. “Miss Qianxue, I heard from Li Wen and Li Wu about what happened before. Thank you so much for your help.”

Li Bo decided to suppress the anger and resentment. He wanted to understand her better before making the next step.

“You’re welcome! I did it for the Light beast core.”

When he heard those words, Li Bo’s face twitched a little uncontrollably. He pretended to be sad and he sighed. “I initially had the Light beast core. But it’s such a pity that previously, I encountered a big and powerful beast. I became so anxious that I only cared about escaping. So, I accidentally lost the beast core.”

No one believed those words. Lou Qianxue’s eyes turned cold, and she looked at him in silence.

Li Bo knew that his lie was too fake. He coughed. “But although the Light beast core is gone, when I was exploring the paths just now, I noticed something even better...”
