Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1414: Chapter 1411: This Cup, I’ll Drink on Behalf of the Young Master (First Update)

”It’s her! How did she get here?” Many people in the banquet hall recognized Luo Jingting, and their faces all took on peculiar expressions.

After all, Luo Jingting’s status was nothing more than that of a collateral family member. By all rights, she had no qualifications to attend an event of this caliber.

Under these gazes, ranging from questioning to disdain, Luo Jingting trembled and paled visibly.

At the same time, from a distance, Luo Xuan also noticed this scene.

When she saw that the newcomer was actually Luo Jingting, she was initially stunned, then smirked coldly and shot a glance at a few subordinates nearby.

Those subordinates stepped forward and blocked Luo Jingting’s path.

”Miss Jingting, do you have an invitation card?” the leader of the group asked, speaking in a tone that was fairly polite.

”Invitation card?” Luo Jingting was slightly taken aback.

”Exactly. This banquet is exclusively for legitimate branch members of prestigious families. If you don’t have an invitation card, I’m afraid you’ll have to leave. Apologies for the inconvenience.”

Luo Jingting’s lips grew dry as she couldn’t help but glance toward Xue An, hoping to ask him what to do.

But to her dismay, Xue An stood with his eyes lowered, entirely ignoring the situation.

”What’s this? Miss Jingting doesn’t want to leave?” another man chimed in mockingly.

However, unlike the first man, his tone was filled with blatant derision.

Luo Jingting’s expression grew unsettled, shifting constantly.

Just then, Luo Jian strode over quickly and spoke in a low but commanding voice, ”Jingting is my guest. Is there a problem with that?”

Upon hearing this, the group of men froze in unison. When they turned and saw that it was Luo Jian, their expressions immediately became quite colorful.

”Sev... Seventh Young Master!” they greeted him with utmost respect.

It was well known that while Luo Jian didn’t hold the same status and authority as Luo Qifeng, he was widely connected and held high esteem, and he treated the lower ranks with kindness. As a result, he was always respected.

At the very least, he wasn’t someone within Luo Xuan’s camp of subordinates they could afford to provoke.

But Luo Jian didn’t bother with these men at all. Instead, he flashed a gentle smile at Luo Jingting.

”Jingting, why are you only arriving now? The banquet is about to start! Come, follow me!”

With that, he slightly turned himself to the side, leading Luo Jingting into the banquet hall.

The men who had blocked Luo Jingting stood awkwardly off to the side, unsure whether to stop her or let her through, ultimately doing nothing but watch helplessly as Luo Jingting was escorted inside.

This scene was, of course, observed by Luo Xuan from afar.

When she saw Luo Jian personally leading Luo Jingting into the hall, a glimmer of suspicion flickered in her eyes.

At that moment, Luo Jian seemed to sense something. He raised his eyes and glanced over in Luo Xuan’s direction, the corners of his lips curling into a meaningful smile.

For some reason, Luo Xuan felt a chill run down her spine upon seeing Luo Jian’s smile, and she shuddered involuntarily.

By the time she recovered, Luo Jian was already walking far ahead with Luo Jingting.

Luo Xuan’s expression shifted into something peculiar.

What was happening?

A person like Luo Jingting shouldn’t warrant Luo Jian’s personal attendance and guidance, right?

What on earth was Luo Jian scheming?

Although Luo Xuan couldn’t make sense of it, in the grand scheme of the extravagant banquet hall, this was merely an insignificant ripple.

At the very least, the majority of people in the banquet hall seemed completely unaware.

Their attention was focused entirely on the siblings of the Wei family, sitting at the head table on the high platform.

Luo Xuan also pushed the matter aside, turning her cold gaze toward the stage, where Luo Qifeng was exerting great effort to engage Wei Qingxiao in conversation. An intense flame of jealousy burned in her chest.

Her hands gradually clenched into fists until, with a loud ”crack,” she managed to crush the armrest of her chair. Then, Luo Xuan abruptly stood up.

”Miss!” A few attendants were startled and tried to stop her.

”Leave me be! I know what I’m doing!”

With that, Luo Xuan grabbed a wine glass from the table and made her way toward the stage, her steps poised and deliberate.

All eyes in the hall shifted to her in an instant.

Luo Qifeng, who had been racking his brain for something to say to Wei Qingxiao, noticed the change in atmosphere and instinctively looked up, only to see Luo Xuan walking over with a dazzling smile. His heart sank immediately.

He knew his younger sister far too well, and her unexpected approach made him slightly tense. He quickly exchanged glances with Pan Yongge and Mo Jing, signaling them with his eyes.

Understanding his intent, the two men stood up and moved to intercept Luo Xuan.

”Luo Xuan, where are you headed?” Pan Yongge asked with a chuckle.

”That’s right, it’s been years, and you’ve grown even more beautiful, Luo Xuan,” Mo Jing said with a playful grin.

Luo Xuan responded with a charming, sweet smile. ”Oh, you two are always so flattering. I just wanted to offer a toast to the young master of the Wei family — that’s all. Why, is that not allowed?”

Although her words were addressed to the two men, her gaze fixed squarely on Luo Qifeng.

Hearing that it was merely a toast, Luo Qifeng breathed a faint sigh of relief.

No matter how capricious his sister could be, she must surely know her limits when dealing with the Wei family from the Central Ghost Realm.

Thus, he gave a subtle nod, signaling her to proceed.

Pan Yongge and Mo Jing exchanged glances, shrugged, and stepped aside.

”By all means, go ahead.”

But Luo Qifeng failed to notice the fleetingly darkened expression on Wei Qingxiao’s face when she overheard Luo Xuan’s intent to toast Wei Haocang.

At this moment, Luo Xuan had already sauntered to the table, her smile growing ever brighter as she performed a graceful bow.

”I am Luo Xuan, daughter of Luo Jian. Greetings to the esteemed young master and young mistress of the Wei family!”

In terms of etiquette, Luo Xuan was flawless.

But Wei Qingxiao remained motionless, returning only an icy gaze to Luo Xuan without saying a word.

Under Wei Qingxiao’s steely stare, Luo Xuan felt her scalp tighten, but the resentment and jealousy within her heart left her no room to retreat. Instead, she raised her glass and smiled at Wei Haocang, who sat there blankly.

”The young master of the Wei family is indeed as striking as rumored! I deeply admire you. This drink, I offer to you!”

With that, Luo Xuan held her glass aloft in both hands, presenting it respectfully.

The banquet hall fell deathly silent.

The Luo Family Head, Luo Gaoyang, exchanged glances with a few elders before lowering his gaze indifferently, showing no intention of intervening.

Faced with Luo Xuan’s offering, Wei Haocang sat in his chair, expressionless and unmoving.

The atmosphere grew both awkward and tense.

Many in the hall couldn’t help but frown at the scene.

While the Wei family certainly held overwhelming power, this level of disregard seemed excessive.

After all, Luo Xuan was the legitimate daughter of the Luo family.

Even Luo Qifeng appeared somewhat astonished.

Luo Xuan lowered her head slightly, her heart swelling with pride.

Let’s see if you’ll accept this drink or not!

From the first moment she’d laid eyes on Wei Haocang, Luo Xuan had found something off about the young master.

This time, her move was intentional. She wanted to test the hypothesis forming in her mind. If it proved correct, she would ensure the Wei siblings lost face here and now.

Just then, Wei Qingxiao suddenly broke into a smile. ”The young master doesn’t drink. Allow me to take this cup on his behalf!”
