Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 971: Chapter 971: Matters of the Chen Family (First Update)

”This... is this cultivation? But the speed of realm advancement is a bit too quick, isn’t it?” Hu Ying said, her eyes wide and her voice full of disbelief.

Xue An, however, was no longer surprised, and merely looked on with an amused gaze at An Yan lying on the bed.

Another breakthrough without lifting a finger?

This time, it was a direct breakthrough to the Golden Immortal realm that so many viewed as an insurmountable gap.

Could it be that once the seal is completely lifted, Yan’er could directly become an Immortal King?

Thinking of this, Xue An couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

Because he felt that maybe... it really was possible!

Finally.

The rapid climb of An Yan’s cultivation level began to slow down and eventually stopped just one step shy of breaking through to the True Immortal realm.

Hu Ying blinked in astonishment and exclaimed, ”Brother Xue, it seems like sister-in-law is even more formidable than you!”

Xue An smiled wryly, ”I think so too!”

At that moment,

An Yan, who had been lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes.

At first, she was somewhat confused, but she quickly regained her senses, looked herself over, and shouted with joy.

”Husband, I’ve made another breakthrough! It seems that cultivation isn’t as difficult as you said!”

Xue An’s mouth twitched slightly, ”Yeah, not difficult at all!”

”But what about the seal on sister-in-law next? You know, Brother Xue, you’ve already refined the entire Blood Clan!” Hu Ying suddenly asked.

Xue An smiled faintly, ”Using the Blood Pearl to break the seal was just a temporary measure. To completely lift the seal, we need to kill the one who placed it on Yan’er.”

As he said this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Xue An’s eyes.

Even though a lot of time had passed, Xue An still clearly remembered the aura left in the seal.

The Multiverse Realms are vast and boundless, but Immortal Kings are few and far between.

Therefore, that person certainly cannot escape.

Hearing what Xue An said, before An Yan could speak, Hu Ying was already excited to the point of almost jumping up and down.

”Exactly, anyone who dares to seal sister-in-law must be killed! Brother Xue, when are we setting out?”

Xue An looked at Hu Ying with a half-smile, ”Even if we set out, what of it? Did I say I was taking you with me?”

Upon hearing this, Hu Ying’s face immediately fell, and she said with a woeful expression, ”Brother Xue! Take me with you, please!”

Xue An was unmoved.

Seeing this, Hu Ying quickly changed her target, turning to An Yan with a coquettish tone, ”Sister-in-law... ”

An Yan was both amused and frustrated.

This little girl started out full of hostility towards her.

But under An Yan’s methods, it didn’t take long for Hu Ying to become utterly submissive.

Now, she was like a child.

”I can’t make decisions on such matters, you should go ask your Brother Xue!”

Hu Ying blinked her big, watery eyes and looked towards Xue An once again.

But just then,

Tang Xuan’er’s voice came from outside.

”Xue An, someone from Zhongdu has arrived!”

Xue An was startled and then walked out of the room.

”Who is it?”

Tang Xuan’er let out a light sigh, ”The person is in the living room, go take a look!”

As Xue An entered the living room of the Number One Tian Villa, many people stood up.

”Mr. Xue!”

”Mr. Xue!”

These respectful voices from the bottom of their hearts erupted one after another.

However, Xue An paid no attention to them, as all his focus was drawn to Chen Rushi, standing in the middle of the crowd, dressed in plain clothes, with black mourning silk wrapped around her arms.

Chen Rushi had returned to Zhongdu two days ago, unexpectedly, she had come back now.

And dressed like this, no less.

In the moment Xue An was caught off guard,

He saw Chen Rushi kneel respectfully on the ground, bowing to Xue An, then said with a trembling voice,

”Mr. Xue, tomorrow will be my grandfather’s funeral! As his friend during his lifetime, the Chen Family has specifically come to invite you to attend!”

Xue An then understood what was going on.

So Chen Rushi had come to invite him to attend Chen Xiuhe’s funeral!

Xue An felt a slight stir in his heart, then he sighed softly.

”Miss Chen, you need not say more, I and Elder Chen were the best of friends, and I have always regarded him as my senior. This time Elder Chen sacrificed himself for the honor of our Hua Clan, how could I not attend his funeral?”

Chen Rushi, whose eyes were already swollen from weeping, couldn’t help crying out again upon hearing this, ”Thank you, Mr. Xue!”

She bowed deeply once more.

Xue An waved his hand, and a gentle force lifted Chen Rushi from the ground.

”Miss Chen, there is no need for such formalities; it’s all that I should do.”

Hearing Xue An speak so, the people who followed Chen Rushi whitened slightly, then bowed their heads.

Seeing this, Xue An sneered in his heart but said nothing.

It was then that An Yan and Tang Xuan’er stepped forward to support Chen Rushi.

”Ru Shi, what your ancestor did is a paragon for our Hua Clan. You don’t need to be too sad, your health is what’s most important!” An Yan said softly to comfort her.

Chen Rushi, who hadn’t had a moment of peace since returning to Zhongdu, nodded her head tearfully upon hearing An Yan’s words.

”Yes, Sister Yan!”

An Yan’s prestige among the younger generation of women was now extremely high.

Many people felt honored to call her Sister Yan.

After exchanging a few more words, Chen Rushi prepared to bid farewell and return to Zhongdu.

At this moment, Xue An said indifferently, ”Ru Shi, you are frail now, and your vital energy is chaotic. Continuing like this will only deplete your essence. Why not stay here, and I will take you back to Zhongdu tomorrow!”

”But...” Chen Rushi started, slightly taken aback.

”It’s settled then!” Xue An made the decision directly.

Afterward, An Yan and Tang Xuan’er escorted Chen Rushi into the inner room.

Meanwhile, Xue An glanced at the people in the room with an inscrutable smile, then turned and left as well.

After he left, many of Chen Rushi’s accompanying attendants were sweating profusely, their eyes filled with doubt and shock.

Then someone whispered, ”Should we inform the third and fourth young masters about this?”

No one spoke up.

Many looked at the speaker as if he were a fool.

Then someone sneered, ”The third and fourth young masters, heh, they’re nothing but ants in front of Mr. Xue. If you want to inform them, be my guest!”

”Exactly, didn’t you see how unusual Miss’s standing is in front of Mr. Xue?”

The speaker shrank his neck and replied with a forced laugh, ”I was just saying, I’m loyal to the young mistress without the slightest ill intent!”

These Chen Family servants who had all come with different intentions now clearly saw the situation and promptly sided with Chen Rushi.

Meanwhile,

In a secret room in Zhongdu,

Chen Xiangshang, a collateral of the Chen Family, was savoring his red wine with a contented expression, and then he sighed,

”What a fine wine indeed! How could I possibly have taken such good wine from the Chen Family’s cellar if that old man hadn’t died!”
