Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2935: Chapter 2936: The Pact

Wu Nianyin trembled all over and quickly bowed down.

”Nian Yin pays respect to sister-in-law!”

The words were sincere, and the etiquette was very respectful.

Nevertheless, Wu Nianyin’s heart was still uneasy.

If he had known earlier that Xue An had a wife, even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn’t have dared to openly send maidens Xue An’s way like yesterday!

No wonder those maidens were sweeping the courtyard today!

Thinking of this, Wu Nianyin was filled with regret.

If this led to irreversible consequences, it would be terrible.

Now he could only hope that this sister-in-law was a reasonable person and wouldn’t blame him for it.

It seemed his silent plea had an effect, as An Yan did not mention yesterday’s matter but only smiled faintly.

”No need to stand on ceremony, Young Master Wu, please sit down quickly!”

After saying that she stood up and said to Xue An, ”Husband, I’m going to the back!”

”Hmm, go ahead!”

An Yan gently moved with lotus steps and quickly disappeared behind the beaded curtain.

Only after her figure had completely vanished did Wu Nianyin wipe the cold sweat off his forehead and laugh bitterly.

”Brother Xue, why didn’t you tell me you had a wife? If I had known, I would never have done such a foolish thing as yesterday!”

Xue An said indifferently, ”The key is you never asked!”

Then Xue An leaned back in his chair, ”Coming over this early, is there an urgent matter?”

”Nothing much, just came to see if you’re getting used to your living arrangements!”

”It’s alright!”

Looking at Xue An’s calm expression, Wu Nianyin gritted his teeth.

After some time together, Wu Nianyin had figured out Xue An’s temperament and knew he disliked small talk, so he straightforwardly said.

”This morning I went early to the shrine to offer incense, only to find Wu Qiao Jun absent. Upon asking, I found out she’s actually ill!”

”Oh? Ill?” Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly.

”Yes! I found it a bit strange, so I came here specifically to ask you! Do you know if she’s really ill or if there’s some other plot?”

Xue An certainly knew what was going on.

That Wu Qiao Jun was probably deeply affected by what happened last night, feeling too shameful to face him, so she made an excuse of being ill.

However, these matters could not be mentioned to Wu Nianyin.

Thus, Xue An only shook his head, ”I don’t know, but whether she’s really ill or feigning illness, does it really matter? Those who achieve great things cannot be bothered by such trivial matters.”

Wu Nianyin was so ashamed he deeply bowed and said, ”Brother Xue’s reprimand is justified; I was being overly concerned!”

Xue An smiled.

For this young master of the Wu Family, Xue An had a fairly good impression, mainly because he was very open to listening to others’ opinions.

”What do you plan to do next?” Xue An suddenly asked.

Wu Nianyin’s heart skipped a beat, knowing the main issue was at hand, he immediately said solemnly, ”I naturally plan to succeed my father as the Wu Family Head!”

”Then do you know the difficulties you’re currently facing?”

Wu Nianyin sighed.

”How could I not know? In front, Wu Qiao Jun holds my young brother in contempt and behind, my second uncle is ambiguous in attitude, and due to my upbringing out of the family, my foundation here is weak. Although legally I am supported, ascending to the position of Family Head is not so simple!”

Xue An smiled.

”It seems you are quite aware of your situation!”

Wu Nianyin smiled bitterly, ”This concerns my very life, how could I not know?”

The conversation had already reached this point, and Wu Nianyin naturally had to show his stance.

He solemnly said to Xue An, ”Brother Xue, with only you and me here, I’ll speak frankly, as long as you can help me ascend to the position of Family Head, the Wu Family will be your solid support no matter what you want to do! At that time, don’t say two requests, twenty requests would be no problem!”

”Oh? Is this true?” Xue An said with a hint of a smile.

Wu Nianyin said with conviction, ”If I break my word, may heaven execute and earth destroy me!”

This was a very harsh vow.

Especially for cultivators.

”Very well, if that’s the case, then I will help you!”

Wu Nianyin was overjoyed, ”Thank you, Brother Xue!”

”You are clearly aware of your own situation, but do you know why your second uncle is ambiguous, neither actively supporting nor opposing you?”

”Why?”

”He is actually testing you, if you can use thunderous means to defeat Wu Qiao Jun, it proves you are capable enough for the position of Family Head. If you can’t deal with a small figure like Wu Qiao Jun, even if you became Family Head, you wouldn’t be able to manage such a large family!”

Hearing Xue An’s words, Wu Nianyin felt an enlightening sense, as if clouds had been dispersed.

”I see, Brother Xue, your single sentence surpasses my ten years of study!”

Xue An smiled, ignoring these praises.

”Since you know the reason, then the next steps are simple, for now, it’s about eliminating your stepmother!”

Wu Nianyin was taken aback, then hesitantly said, ”My father’s bones aren’t even cold yet, killing his most beloved concubine would be improper!”

”Who says you need to kill her?”

”But if not kill her, how can I make her withdraw?”

Wu Nianyin knew how covetous Wu Qiao Jun was for the Family Head position.

This was evident from her bribing Firearms Society to assassinate him.

It could be said that, in order for her son to ascend to the Family Head position, this woman had gone mad, using any means necessary.

At this time, wanting her to voluntarily withdraw was like talking nonsense!

Xue An only laughed, ”Just because you can’t doesn’t mean I can’t!”

Saying this, Xue An stood up and said indifferently, ”Within three days, Wu Qiao Jun will voluntarily withdraw from the struggle for Family Head!”

Watching Xue An’s back, Wu Nianyin’s eyes glinted with a peculiar brilliance, yet he did not question what methods Xue An intended to use, nor why he was so confident.

Instead, he deeply bowed to Xue An, ”If this truly happens, I won’t even mind her assassination attempt on me!”

Wu Nianyin was not someone to haggle over every detail.

If this matter could be resolved peacefully, that would be the best outcome.

”Don’t worry, everything will be clear in three days,” Xue An said indifferently.

Wu Nianyin left.

An Yan emerged from behind the beaded curtain.

”Husband, how can you be so sure Wu Qiao Jun will voluntarily withdraw in three days?”

”It’s simple, because of the evil being!”

Xue An had already suspected it for a long time.

This Wu Qiao Jun was arrogant and conceited, a truly foolish woman.

But such women often lack great ambition.

Thus her daring participation in the competition for Family Head was itself quite unusual.

Initially, Xue An also didn’t quite understand.

Until he detected that whiff of evil energy, Xue An knew the root cause had been found.
