Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 919: Chapter 919: This... is the price I offer (4th Update)

The hall stirred subtly.

Many looked on with amused expressions.

Some young nobles even whispered to each other with smirks on their faces.

”Chang loves his delicacies tender!”

”Tsk tsk, the newcomer is in for it now!”

Among these murmurs,

Xue An took a sip of tea and then looked up at the speaker, ”Scram!”

Boom!

The crowd erupted in uproar.

The son of the Chang Family’s face darkened, ”Kid, do you know who you’re talking to?”

Xue An casually set down his teacup, ”I don’t know, and I’m not interested in knowing, but do you believe if you keep babbling, I’ll make you regret it?”

This certainly stirred up a hornet’s nest.

Many looked at Xue An with surprised expressions.

Some shook their heads secretly.

They thought this new young man was too brazen, not realizing what offending the Chang Family in Tiansheng Capital would entail.

They guessed he wouldn’t live through the night.

The son of the Chang Family’s face turned livid, ”Very well, it’s been a long time since anyone dared speak to me like this! You are the first!”

Xue An smiled, ”Don’t worry, there will be more to come, and you might as well get used to it!”

Enraged, the son of the Chang Family looked like he was about to explode.

At this moment, the trembling Hu San quickly said, ”Chang... Master Chang, please calm down. My friend just came from the countryside and doesn’t know the rules of Jingdu. I hope you can forgive his ignorance and let him off!”

The son of the Chang Family snorted coldly, ”Let him off? Very well, give me that little maid and kneel down to beg for mercy, then I’ll let him off! Otherwise... hmph hmph!”

Hu San showed a troubled expression.

Xue An looked at Hu San with some surprise.

He had not expected Hu San to plead for him.

After all, they had known each other for only half an hour.

Strictly speaking, Hu San could have ignored the matter entirely.

Yet, he dared to speak up for him.

For that alone, Hu San’s character was not too bad.

However, at that moment,

an appropriately dressed elder approached, ”Master Chang, Hu San, no matter what grievances you have, don’t make a scene here. Besides, Miss Nie is about to be presented. If you offend the lady, who will compensate?”

At these words, the son of the Chang Family huffed angrily, shot Xue An a cold glance, and then returned to his seat.

But the cold flashes from his eyes showed that he had already harbored intentions of murder.

Hu San looked anxiously at Xue An and whispered, ”Brother Xue, listen to my advice and leave now. If you delay, it might be too late!”

”The Chang Family holds significant power here in Jingdu, especially in Changle District and the East Market. You’ve offended Chang Haosi, the eldest son; he is the most troublesome. A wise man does not court danger. It’s best to leave quickly!”

Xue An was unmoved and just smiled slightly, ”Thank you, Brother Hu, for your concern, but I am someone who sticks to my actions. Until I do what I have set out to do, even if the sky falls, I won’t leave.”

”You... sigh!” Hu San sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.

At that moment,

footsteps were heard from the stairs, and then a woman’s voice announced, ”Miss Nie is being presented, gentlemen, please look!”

With that,

the maid tugged at a red cloth.

A scroll slowly unfurled from the staircase, revealing the written characters on it.

The people in the hall gathered around and after a few glances, began to discuss animatedly.

”As expected! A moment of conversation for fifty silver, a song on the guqin for eighty! Tsk tsk, still no entry into the chambers!”

”Alas, money is secondary; the key is that Miss Nie must favor you, otherwise, even if you display a thousand taels of gold, she wouldn’t glance at you once.”

At that moment, Chang Haosi was the first to speak, ”I offer a hundred silver taels, only wishing to meet Miss Nie once!”

The maid turned and left, but after a short while, she hurried back and then shook her head.

”Young Master Chang, my lady said that she had already discussed with you last time and felt that your paths do not align, so there will be no further talks this time!”

”What?” Chang Haosi was stunned.

What did that mean?

What did it mean that their paths do not align?

Ever since he had spent a great sum last month to meet Miss Nie once, Chang Haosi had been haunted by thoughts of her.

This time, hearing that Miss Nie had once again put up a placard, he had rushed over early, hoping to behold her beauty once more.

And yet, he was rejected?

No matter how angered Chang Haosi felt inside, there was nothing he could do but stand helplessly by.

Following that, several princes and young masters also sought an audience but were all turned away.

It seemed that today, no one would be able to take down Miss Nie’s placard.

Xue An slowly stood up, speaking lightly, ”Today, I will take down this placard!”

All eyes in the hall instantly turned towards Xue An.

Chang Haosi’s expression darkened as he scoffed coldly.

The maid asked, ”May I know the noble surname and given name of this young master? And what price do you plan to offer?”

Xue An smiled slightly. ”My name is Xue An, as for the price...”

”Is there pen and paper available here?”

Everyone was astonished.

What did that mean?

What was the pen and paper for?

However, since Lan Gui Fang was a top-notch brothel, scholars often came here to drink and be merry, so naturally, pen and paper were readily available.

Very soon,

someone brought over pen and paper along with ink and an ink stone.

Xue An took the brush in hand, and his writing flowed like dragon-snakes; he quickly wrote on a piece of paper, then tossed the brush aside and said indifferently, ”Give this to your mistress and tell her, this... is my offer!”

The maid was also stunned.

But she did not dare to ask more.

Taking the paper, she hurried off.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Then jeering voices emerged.

”Tsk tsk, does this fellow think he can move Miss Nie with poetry and verses?”

”He must be some greenhorn from out of town, doesn’t he know that Miss Nie is a renowned poetry master in Jingdu? How dare he attempt to show off in front of her?”

”Hehe, there’s going to be a good show now!”

Amid these murmuring voices, Chang Haosi’s gaze narrowed, his face full of disdain.

In his view, Xue An was simply bringing humiliation upon himself.

For it had been a long time since anyone dared to compose poetry in front of Miss Nie in Jingdu.

Even Hu San couldn’t help but shake his head internally, feeling he had made a loss.

He had thought Xue An was a wealthy young master, and by bringing him along, he too could earn a reward.

But it turned out he was just an ignorant, impoverished scholar.

Just when everyone thought Xue An was delusional,

they heard footsteps on the stairs, and then a peerless beauty descended gracefully, speaking anxiously, ”Where is the one who composed the verses?”
