Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 921: Chapter 921: The Midnight Dumpling Stand (2nd Update)

”Looking for someone? Who might the young master be looking for?”

”An old acquaintance!”

”Old acquaintance...” Nie Yihan murmured softly.

At this moment, Xue An turned to leave.

Nie Yihan’s body trembled as if awakening from a dream, and she hurriedly called out, ”Young master, please wait!”

”What else is there?” Xue An asked indifferently, without turning his head.

Nie Yihan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself, ”Young master, did you have a verbal conflict with someone in the hall just now?”

Xue An was slightly startled, ”You mean the son of the Chang Family?”

Nie Yihan nodded gravely, ”That’s right! Young master, as an outsider, you naturally don’t understand the Chang Family’s influence in this area. Let’s just say that the Chang Family is a well-known local power here, and the person you offended, Chang Haosi, is particularly arrogant and not a kind man at all. If you leave like this, I fear that you won’t get through tonight safely.”

As the top courtesan of Jile Hall, Nie Yihan naturally understood the diverse and chaotic nature of the place very well.

She was acutely aware of how unreasonable these dominating families could be.

Therefore, upon hearing the report from the maid, she felt a chill in her heart and thought it unlikely that Xue An would come out unscathed.

But upon hearing Nie Yihan’s words, Xue An held a hint of a smile in his lips, ”Oh? They sound quite formidable!”

Seeing Xue An’s nonchalant attitude, Nie Yihan stamped her foot, ”Young master, I’m not joking with you! This matter is indeed no trifle!”

”Thank you for the warning, Miss Nie, but I have a problem; the more dangerous something is, the more I want to try it out!”

”You...” Nie Yihan was at a loss for words, then she sighed, ”I don’t know what you’re relying on, but with your talents, if you were to be harmed by a bunch of riffraff, wouldn’t it be a great loss?”

”What would you suggest, miss?”

”Young master, the best course of action for now would be not to leave this place. Because only here, Chang Haosi dares not act rashly! And young master, aren’t you looking for someone? You can tell me what they look like, and I will try to find them for you!”

While speaking, Nie Yihan’s cheeks flushed slightly as she lowered her head slowly.

Because Xue An had been watching her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

This made Nie Yihan’s heartbeat thrum like a drum, and she felt fluttery inside.

By speaking like this, wouldn’t the young master think I’m a frivolous woman?

But if I don’t speak out, wouldn’t it harm him?

Nie Yihan was distressed and conflicted as she pondered.

Xue An shook his head with a light chuckle, ”Thanks for your kind intentions, Miss Nie, but right now, I don’t even know what the person I’m looking for looks like!”

”Then do you have a name?”

Xue An shook his head, ”Let’s put it this way, I don’t know her name, what she looks like, or even if it’s a man or woman!”

Nie Yihan’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Who looks for someone in such a way?

Without knowing the appearance or even the gender of the person, how can one even begin to search?

Sensing Nie Yihan’s amazement, Xue An smiled faintly, ”But as long as she appears before me, I will know if it’s her!”

Then Xue An’s gaze seemed to penetrate the walls, looking towards the depths of the void, ”I can feel that she is in this place! I hope she is safe, otherwise there is someone who would go completely mad. The consequences of that... even I won’t be able to stop!”

Nie Yihan listened, baffled, about to say something.

Xue An slightly bowed, ”I have taken to heart your kindness, Miss Nie. I bid you farewell!”

With that, Xue An walked out of the room with his head held high and descended the stairs.

Nie Yihan stared blankly at Xue An’s receding figure, her emotions a complicated mixture, unsure of what to feel.

She suddenly felt that this young man bore many burdens, and even his silhouette was tinged with solitude.

It was a detachment born of experiencing great vicissitudes, containing countless secrets.

This intense impression aroused an extraordinary curiosity in Nie Yihan.

What had he actually experienced?

Meanwhile.

Xue An descended the staircase.

By this time, the people in the hall had already dispersed, leaving only Hu San and Chan’er behind.

Upon seeing Xue An come down,

Hu San’s expression suddenly became very animated.

”Cough cough, aren’t young people a bit too fiery? You came down so quickly?” Hu San murmured softly, thinking that Xue An wouldn’t hear.

However, a cool glance from Xue An made him swallow the rest of his words.

”Young Master, you... what were you doing up there?” Chan’er asked somewhat sadly.

Xue An replied indifferently, ”Had a cup of tea, chatted for a bit!”

”That’s all?” Chan’er asked, puzzled.

Xue An raised his hand and knocked on her little head, ”Otherwise, what do you expect?”

Chan’er covered her head, which was a bit sore, but her expression quickly changed from anger to joy, and she said with a giggle, ”I thought the Young Master would have had dinner already!”

Xue An couldn’t help but give a wry smile, ”Let’s go!”

”Young Master, where are we going?”

”Naturally, to have dinner!”

Chan’er nodded happily, ”Mm-hmm!”

Then Xue An turned to Hu San, who was standing to the side.

”Why don’t Brother Hu join us?”

Hu San was taken aback, then looked at Xue An with a face full of astonishment, ”Where do you plan to have dinner?”

”Of course, we’re going out!”

”But... didn’t Nie Yihan tell you? Just now, Chang Haosi left in a fury, and with his temperament, he definitely won’t let you off! You’re safe enough inside the Dangui Square, but once you leave, whether you’ll see tomorrow’s sun is another matter entirely!”

Hu San said excitedly.

Yet Xue An appeared as if he hadn’t heard, and turned to Chan’er with a slight smile, ”Chan’er, I remember on the way here there was a wonton stall by the road, let’s go have some wontons!”

”Alright, Young Master!”

Then Xue An led Chan’er outside.

Hu San stared dumbfounded.

After a while, his face showed a struggle with hesitation, but ultimately he stomped his foot resentfully and quickly followed.

”I’m a bit hungry too, a bowl of wontons should be nice!”

Xue An glanced at him and said flatly, ”Not scared anymore?”

”Scared, but I’ll take a risk to accompany a gentleman! And... the wontons at that stall do taste really good!”

Xue An laughed heartily, ”Alright, then let’s see just how good these wontons you mentioned are!”

It was now close to midnight.

All over Jile Hall, every brothel and singing house was immersed in joy and peace.

However, the street was nearly empty of pedestrians.

Though half of spring had passed, the deep of the night remained chilly.

At such a time, a wonton stall wafting with wisps of hot steam seemed extraordinarily precious.

The stall owner was an old man whose waist was bent from fatigue, and Hu San seemed very familiar with him.

”Old Luo, three bowls of wontons!”

The stall owner struggled to raise his head to glance at Hu San, then chuckled, ”You haven’t been here in a while, lad. Same as usual?”

”Yes, double the condiments!”

At this, the stall owner noticed Xue An and the others, nodded with a smile, and said, ”Please take a seat, guests! It will be ready in a moment!”
