Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 750: Chapter 750: Auction Gala, Hidden Sabotage (4th Update)

This girl was evidently consumed by fury, fiercely wishing she could flay Xue Ansheng alive and devour him.

The bodyguards stepped forward in unison, getting ready to take action.

A smirk touched the corner of Xue An’s lips, as an overwhelming killing intent surged to the skies, causing the ground beneath him to tremble slightly.

He did not care about the identities of these people, if they dared to harm his daughter, they should prepare to pay a most painful price.

Feeling this killing intent, the bodyguards’ faces all took on a serious expression.

Just then, Xiao Dan of the City Lord’s Mansion squeezed out from the crowd, drenched in sweat, and hurriedly shouted, “Master, please do not strike yet!”

Moreover, a thunderous voice also came from a distance within Profound Thunder City, “Friend, please show mercy!”

With that said, a formidable presence descended upon the street as well.

This was a tall and majestic middle-aged man with an imposing expression.

After the man landed, he rebuked the few bodyguards with a stern voice, “Back off!”

The bodyguards hastily retreated to the side, standing with their hands at their sides, not daring to lift their heads.

Upon seeing this, Xue An simply smiled faintly, and the fierce killing intent dissipated into nothingness, reverting to a man of elegant demeanor and a nonchalant expression.

The middle-aged man, observing this, saw a flash of surprise in his eyes, then cupped his hands and said, “Friend, thank you for showing restraint!”

He then smiled at Xiao Dan off to the side, “I didn’t expect to see Mr. Xiao here!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Dan returned the gesture with a smile, “City Lord Gao is too kind! I am merely accompanying the master here!”

This person was none other than the lord of Profound Thunder City, Gao Xinghai!

When he heard Xiao Dan addressing Xue An with such respect, his heart stirred even more.

At this moment, the young lady in brocade got up from the ground, her face full of grievance as she said to Gao Xinghai, “Father, this guy killed Mao Mao and left me looking like this! You must stand up for me!”

As she said this, she looked at Xue An with a mix of spite and triumph.

This brocade-clad young lady was indeed Gao Xinghai’s daughter, Gao Zuoyu.

Accustomed to flaunting her status as the daughter of the City Lord, she was usually insolent and overbearing.

In her view, now that her father had shown up, the man who dared to slap her would certainly pay the price!

However, Gao Xinghai scolded her, “Foolish girl, you never engage in serious matters, spoiling that Three-Eyed Golden Retriever until it became lawless. It got what it deserved by being killed!”

Gao Zuoyu was dumbfounded; she could never have anticipated such an outcome.

“Father… Father!”

“Apologize to this master immediately! Otherwise, when we get back, I will lock you up!”

With that said, Gao Xinghai turned to smile at Xue An, “My friend, my daughter has been overindulged and has become rather unruly. Please do not stoop to her level.”

Gao Zuoyu, with half her face swollen, bowed her head and murmured a hardly audible, “I was wrong! Please forgive me!”

Xue An remained noncommittal, not even sparing her a glance.

The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward.

A glint of anger shimmered deep within Gao Xinghai’s eyes, but it vanished just as quickly before he turned to speak to Xiao Dan next to him.

“Mr. Xiao, are you here to attend the annual auction event?”

Xiao Dan nodded, “The master and I were just passing by and decided to come and enjoy the spectacle!”

Gao Xinghai laughed heartily, “Then you’ve come at the right time. This auction event is unprecedented. Not only are there powerful figures from various regions, but also scions from several major Sects in the Central Region!”

“Oh?” Xiaodan Cheng’s expression changed, “People from the Central Region sects have arrived too?”

Gao Xinghai nodded, “Indeed, and it’s the True Disciples of several major heavenly sects that have come! For instance, Xue Liuli, the current True Disciple of Zhanhong Building, has already reached Profound Thunder City!”

Hiss!

Hearing the name Xue Liuli of Zhanhong Building, Xiaodan Cheng couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

“But I wonder if these distinguished guests have found a place to stay in Profound Thunder City? If not, you are welcome to stay at my residence for a few days until the auction begins! How about it?” Gao Xinghai offered very earnestly.

Xiaodan Cheng did not say anything, instead, he turned to look at Xue An by his side.

Xue An said indifferently, “There’s no need, we have our own place to go!”

With that, he led his family and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Xiaodan Cheng bowed to Gao Xinghai with his fists clenched, “City Lord Gao, thank you for your kindness. Since Master Xue is not willing, then I will not impose either!”

After saying this, he also followed Xue An and left.

Gao Xinghai watched the backs of Xue An and the others as they left, his face growing darker. After a moment, he said coldly, “Let’s go back!”

After returning to the City Lord’s Mansion, Gao Zuoyu applied the elixir, and the injury on her face quickly healed.

But she was still filled with rage.

She had never been beaten by anyone from childhood, not to mention that after being beaten this time, she even had to apologize to that guy.

This was something the normally arrogant her found hard to accept.

“Father, why let that guy off? Is it just because of that old man Xiao?” Gao Zuoyu asked in a deep voice.

Gao Xinghai shook his head, “While old man Xiao is indeed skilled in alchemy, he is not anything special in the Central Region. It’s just that I really cannot see through that man, and moreover, old man Xiao addresses him as a master, which quite surprises me.”

“Could he possibly be an Alchemy Master at such a young age? No, that’s absolutely impossible!”

“So, are we just going to let this matter slide?” Gao Zuoyu couldn’t swallow this insult.

Gao Xinghai smirked upon hearing this, “Yu’er, the reason I asked you to apologize to him at that time was only because we were in public, and we needed to consider our reputation!”

“Moreover, with the auction drawing near, with Xue Liuli from Zhanhong Building having already arrived, we’ll help her obtain the treasure she’s certain to win at the auction. By leveraging this item to build a connection with her, you’ll be able to enter Zhanhong Building as well!”

“By that time, killing a mere Xiaodan Cheng and that man will be as easy as squashing an ant!”

Gao Zuoyu’s eyes lit up when she heard her father’s words.

“However, you should refrain from wandering the streets during this period.”

“Understood!” Gao Zuoyu nodded and replied, then added regretfully, “It’s a pity about Mao Mao…”

“Heh, it’s just a Three-Eyed Golden Retriever. Once you enter Zhanhong Building and become a True Disciple, will you still worry about not having exotic beasts and treasures?”

Meanwhile, Xue An took everyone for a bit more sightseeing, then found an accommodation to settle down.

After An Yan and the two daughters were asleep, Xue An walked out of the room and saw Xiaodan Cheng waiting outside for him.

“What’s the matter?”

“Master, there’s something odd about all this!”

Xue An smiled, “Oh? What’s so odd?”

Xiaodan Cheng said gravely, “It’s rare for the True Disciple of a heavenly sect like Zhanhong Building to leave the Central Region, but this time they’ve come to Profound Thunder City, which is clearly strange! Could it be that there will be some precious treasure appearing at this auction?”

“Maybe so! Anything else?” Xue An responded lightly.

“Furthermore, this Gao Xinghai is narrow-minded and treasures his daughter like the apple of his eye. Yet when you publicly hit her, he actually had her apologize to you, which is quite peculiar!”
