Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 923: Chapter 923: Stars Like Diamonds, Moon Like a Crescent Hook (2nd Update)

Jile Hall.

Nie Yihan sat motionlessly in the room.

Suddenly, the voices of the maids, filled with respect, came from outside the door.

”Sister Mei!”

”We have seen Sister Mei!”

Then a woman’s voice said, ”Hmm, is your mistress here?”

”The mistress is in the room!”

As they spoke, the door was pushed open, and a woman, nearly forty and plump in figure, gracefully walked in.

Nie Yihan, who had been in a daze, hurriedly stood up as soon as she saw the woman.

”Sister!”

The woman’s face was calm as water, she nodded and said, ”Sit!”

Nie Yihan was slightly startled, then bowed her head and silently sat down.

The woman who could be called ’sister’ by the star courtesan of Jile Hall was none other than the hall’s Store Manager and the influential figure behind it, Mei Xia.

However, this Mei Xia did not often come to Jile Hall, so she was lesser-known to outsiders.

But those who knew the insider story were aware of how formidable this woman was.

In terms of connections and the firmness of her grip on power, Mei Xia was second to none, even among men.

This was also the reason why Jile Hall could stand unshaken in the chaotic Jile Hall, and even the Chang Family regarded it with a hint of fear.

That she had come today made Nie Yihan feel a premonition.

Indeed.

Once she was seated, Mei Xia got straight to the point and asked.

”I heard that when you hung your plaque today, not only did you personally go downstairs to welcome a young man, but you also put on a white ribbon, willing to invite him as a guest of honor. Is there such a thing?”

The voice was indifferent but carried an authority that was imposing without anger.

Nie Yihan shivered and then answered in a low voice, ”Yes!”

A long silence followed.

Then Mei Xia extended her hand, ”Show it to me!”

”What?” Nie Yihan looked confused.

Mei Xia spat out in disdain, ”Silly girl, don’t play dumb with me. Anyone capable of making you, so proud and aloof, actively descend to greet them, is certainly no ordinary person. What did he write to you? Aren’t you going to show me?”

Nie Yihan stuck out her tongue and said with a helpless smile, ”It’s true that nothing escapes sister’s eyes!”

With that, Nie Yihan carefully took out the piece of paper written by Xue An and handed it over.

Seeing this, a change flickered in Mei Xia’s eyes. Upon receiving the paper and looking at it, she was also stunned.

”Sister, how is this little song?” Nie Yihan couldn’t help but ask proudly.

”Good! Good! Good!” Mei Xia stared at it, repeating the word ’good’ three times.

”I also feel that this little song is wonderfully crafted. In just a few short lines, it conveys profound emotions and can be called the best poetry in three years!” Nie Yihan said with a smile.

However, Mei Xia remained silent, only studying the paper for a long time before folding it back up, then sighing.

”The words are beautiful, but it’s a pity...”

Nie Yihan’s complexion changed, ”A pity what?”

”A pity that the person who wrote the poem won’t live long!”

This statement struck Nie Yihan like a thunderbolt. It took her a while to recover, then she asked with a trembling voice, ”Sister, why would you say that?”

”Yihan, do I need to tell you why?”

”Could it be...”

Mei Xia nodded, ”Yes, it’s the Chang Family!”

”Do you know why I came to Dangui Alley so late? It’s because I received a message that the Chang Family had dispatched a large number of subordinates to lie in ambush near Dangui Alley! And this message was told to me by the Chang Family’s young master, Chang Haosi himself! It’s to target the young master who composed this song!”

With every word Mei Xia spoke, Nie Yihan’s complexion grew paler, and by the end, her face was as white as paper, her body trembling uncontrollably.

She obviously knew that having offended Chang Haosi, Xue An would definitely be in danger.

But she hadn’t expected the danger to come so quickly and so fiercely.

Chang Haosi was known for his ruthless actions, and by informing Mei Xia, who was behind Dangui Alley, he had effectively blocked any possibility of Dangui Alley coming to the rescue.

Nie Yihan, with her keen intelligence, had seen through all of this, but the more she understood, the more desperate she became.

”Sister, is there really no other way to save him?” Nie Yihan asked softly, her voice filled with pleading.

Mei Xia sighed deeply, and then shook her head, ”Although I too regret it, the fact is that here in Jile Hall, even though we at Dangui Alley don’t have to look at the Chang Family’s face, Chang Haosi informed me beforehand, and since he didn’t make a move within Dangui Alley, all the exit paths have been sealed. Even I can’t intervene forcefully to stop it!”

Nie Yihan remained silent, her head bowed.

Although they had met for less than half a day,

Xue An had left a deep impression on her.

Would that lonely young man, that talented composer of the exquisite song, just die a humiliating death in the dark night of Jile Hall, at the hands of a gang of thugs?

Xiang Xiang... it really is too bitter!

Just then, the sound of rain began outside.

Mei Xia went to the window, gazing at the curtain of rain outside and said in a deep sigh, ”It’s started to rain! The fresh blood on the streets will be washed away even faster now.”

Nie Yihan also looked out at the rainy night, lost in thought.

But at that moment,

a dazzling light suddenly streaked across the pitch-black sky.

Mei Xia, who was initially detached, changed her expression drastically, exclaiming in shock, ”How is it possible! How can there be such Sword Intent...”

Before she could finish,

another sword light, like a fierce sun’s rainbow, streaked across the sky, piercing the heavens.

Then the sword light exploded in the high sky like fireworks.

In an instant,

the dark clouds that obscured the stars were completely torn apart, revealing a sky full of stars.

The rain naturally began to stop as well.

Mei Xia, dumbfounded, watched this unfold, and then she began to tremble, her teeth chattering with extreme fear.

In her eyes was an infinite sense of dread.

With many years of martial arts training and a specialty in swordsmanship,

she could fully appreciate the terror of that sword light just now.

It was such a powerful force.

It was as if facing a Deity that could tear apart the heavens and the earth, making one feel completely without the heart to resist, only wishing to kneel down and worship.

Furthermore, Mei Xia was sure that no one in Jingdu was capable of unleashing that sword.

Could it be...

The thought that rose in her mind frightened Mei Xia.

Nie Yihan, too, snapped back to reality, asking in panic, ”Sister, what was that just now?”

Taking a deep breath, Mei Xia tried to calm herself and said, ”What you just saw... was a true powerhouse revealing a divine miracle!”

Nie Yihan was stunned but then asked with a face full of suspicion, ”Was that... someone from the Chang Family?”

”The Chang Family?” Mei Xia scoffed, then turned to look at the starry sky outside the window.

At this moment, the stars in the night sky shone like diamonds, and the moon was like a curved hook.

”If I’m guessing correctly, very soon... there will be no Chang Family anymore!”
