Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 908: Chapter 908 Entering Tang Mansion for the First Time in Tiansheng Capital (2nd Update)

This expansive Tiansheng Capital occupies an immense area, yet its layout is meticulously organized.

With eleven main roads running north to south and fourteen major streets from east to west, crisscrossing each other, this city is divided into 110 districts.

However, two of these districts are the Forbidden Garden, which is why the commonfolk only refer to 108 districts.

After traveling down Vermilion Bird Main Street into the city for a while, the donkey cart turned right, entering the territory of District East Fifty-Five.

The entire city is arranged according to the pattern of respecting the north, valuing the south, wealth in the east, and poverty in the west; therefore, District East Fifty-Five is also the most bustling area in all of Tiansheng Capital.

The Tang Family, feeling that calling it the Qin Family was inappropriate due to Beijiang’s mention of the Qin Family earlier, changed it to the Tang Family! They reside in Yiyang District of District East Fifty-Five, just a street away from the world-famous Changle District and the wealthiest Dong Market.

Not long after Chan’er steered the donkey cart into Yiyang District, a grand mansion could be seen on the left side of the street.

Above the mansion gates, a plaque was prominently hung, inscribed with two large characters.

Tang Mansion.

This mansion was even larger than the Chen Family Mansion seen in the smaller city.

Occupying such a large mansion in this highly valuable land also reflected the current strength of the Tang Family.

At least Chan’er was initially intimidated.

”Young... young master, is this Sister Tang’s home? Why is it so big?” Chan’er said, shrinking back a bit.

Xue An merely laughed and playfully tapped her on the nose, ”Who was it that nagged me every day to visit the Tang Family before we came? And now you’re getting scared?”

A bit embarrassed, Chan’er chuckled, ”Young master, I just thought the house was a bit too big! I wasn’t scared at all!”

”Big?” Xue An looked at the mansion with a half-smile.

There was no building before him that deserved the term ’big’.

”Come, follow me inside!”

Saying this, Xue An alighted from the cart and strode towards the Tang Mansion with Chan’er in tow.

”Hey, what do you want?” the gatekeeping house servant asked.

In reality, this group of servants had already noticed the donkey cart at the gate; however, given the Tang Family’s current wealth, the usual visitors were high-ranking officials and nobles riding tall horses.

A mere donkey cart naturally did not catch their eyes.

And when Xue An got down, these servants, having a pair of prosperous eyes, looked even more disdainful.

For at this moment, Xue An was dressed in a half-new scholar’s robe, and the young maid following him, though pretty, was dressed simply.

Such a combination clearly indicated a poor scholar, so the attitude of these servants was even more neglectful.

Chan’er was startled by their questioning, then seeing these pompously dressed, arrogant servants, she couldn’t help feeling somewhat diffident, secretly tugging at Xue An’s robe.

Xue An did not even look directly at this group of servants, merely stated indifferently, ”Does Tang Ling’er live here?”

These servants were all taken aback, and then one with triangular eyes looked Xue An up and down and sneered, ”Who are you? Daring to call our young miss by her name?”

”Me?” Xue An smiled, ”My name is Xue An, and I guess I’m your young miss’s... friend!”

Xue An?

Upon hearing that name, the attitudes of the servants became a bit peculiar.

But their demeanor improved considerably.

”Oh, so you are Young Master Xue! The young miss mentioned you before and specifically instructed us to look out for you! Unfortunately, your visit comes on a day when the young miss and the master are out on business, and they are not at home these days!”

Xue An felt a flicker of surprise inside.

Not here?

Then, he would wait for her return before proceeding.

Thinking this, Xue An was about to turn around and leave.

At that moment, a voice filled with surprise carried through the air.

”Is that you, Brother Xue An?”

Xue An turned toward the voice.

A charming maid dressed in splendid attire, her hair adorned with pearls and jade, came rushing over excitedly. Upon seeing it was indeed Xue An, tears of excitement swirled in her eyes.

”It really is you, Brother Xue An!”

Xue An slightly furrowed his brow, unable to recall who the girl was.

Chan’er, on the other hand, already started shouting in surprise, ”Sister Qing’er!”

Then she dashed over.

The two similarly aged maids hugged each other, crying and laughing, displaying great affection.

Chan’er then turned to Xue An with a face full of excitement, ”Young Master, this is Qing’er, the maid from Miss Tang’s side! Back when we were neighbors, she often came over to play with us with Miss Tang!”

Xue An then somewhat grasped the situation, remembering the existence of this maid from the body’s lingering memories.

However, due to the long time that had passed, the images had become quite blurry.

Xue An nodded slightly toward Qing’er, ”So it’s Miss Qing’er!”

Hearing the detachness in Xue An’s tone, the maid’s eyes couldn’t help but redden again, before she curtseyed deeply.

”Brother Xue, I have been waiting for you for several days! Miss Tang specifically instructed me to stay behind, just in case you arrived during this time! Sure enough, you finally arrived!”

With that, Qing’er glared fiercely at the group of doorkeepers.

”This is a distinguished guest specially instructed by the Miss; how dare you ruffians give him a hard time?”

These arrogant doorkeepers were actually quite intimidated by the maid, and upon hearing her words, all their faces turned pale.

”We dare not! We truly didn’t know that this gentleman was Young Master Xue, which is why we mistreated him!”

”Humph! I’ll deal with you later!” Qing’er snorted coldly, then turned around and said with a charming smile,

”Brother Xue, Miss Tang made it clear before she left that if you came, we couldn’t let you leave under any circumstances, and that you must wait here for her return!”

Xue An’s brow twitched slightly.

His purpose in coming here was not to seek refuge but to clarify things face-to-face with Miss Tang.

However, to his surprise, Miss Tang was not at the mansion.

He was thinking of leaving right away.

But seeing the sincerity in the maid’s face and Chan’er’s hopeful gaze, Xue An paused for a moment.

”Very well, I will wait here for her return!”

Upon hearing this, Qing’er’s face blossomed into a smile, ”Yes, Brother Xue, please come with me! Your accommodations have already been prepared!”

With that, Qing’er took Chan’er’s hand, and the two maids chuckled and led the way, guiding Xue An into the Tang Mansion.

As their figures disappeared beyond the gate,

The group of doorkeepers looked at each other, then began to whisper among themselves.

”Tsk tsk, to think that Miss Tang’s beloved Young Master Xue is just a poor scholar!”

”He’s quite handsome, but isn’t he too shabbily dressed? How could he possibly match up to our Tang Family?”

Amidst these whispers, one house servant suddenly sneered, ”He even dares to come seeking refuge; this guy really doesn’t know the meaning of death!”

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Then the house servant looked around at the group and sneered, ”Have you... forgotten about young Master Yao?”

Upon hearing the name ’young Master Yao’, the group of house servants all shrunk their necks and dared not speak idly any longer.

However, their hearts were filled with schadenfreude.

Because they all felt that this matter was unlikely to end well.
