Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 924: Chapter 924: Tremors at the Tang Family (Third Update)

The Tang Family was also shaken.

Because Tang Ling’er had sent someone to secretly follow Xue An, she wanted to know where he was staying.

So, as soon as Xue An stepped into Jile Hall, Tang Ling’er, who was in Yiyang Hall, already knew about it.

In fact, even if she didn’t want to know, it was impossible not to, because her personal maidservant, Qing’er, would hurriedly run into the back house every couple of hours to report the latest situation to her.

”Miss, Brother Xue has gone to Jile Hall!”

After a while, she came running back again.

”Miss, Brother Xue has entered Dan Gui Hall!”

With each report, Tang Ling’er’s expression became uglier.

She had never imagined that after Xue An left the Tang Mansion, he would head straight for Jile Hall and even enter the famous Dan Gui Hall.

What was he planning to do?

Could it be that he intended to indulge in pleasures of the flesh?

These questions whirled in Tang Ling’er’s mind, making her grind her teeth in anger.

Men... are they all like this?

However, the news that Qing’er reported back next made her forget all these trivial matters instantly.

”Miss, Brother Xue has had a conflict with the Chang Family’s eldest young master in Dan Gui Hall, and the eldest young master left in a huff!”

Hearing Qing’er’s words, Tang Ling’er was startled and alarmed.

It was the Chang Family!

As a businesswoman, Tang Ling’er naturally knew how powerful the Chang Family, which dominated the eastern market, was.

In fact, if their Tang Family wanted to do business in the eastern market, they also had to obediently pay tribute to the Chang Family, otherwise it was impossible to continue.

And Xue An dared to have a conflict with Chang Haosi in a place like Jile Hall, this was practically seeking death!

Tang Ling’er was filled with anxiety.

Qing’er hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping.

”Is there anything else?”

”Miss, the messenger said that Brother Xue casually wrote a note in Dan Gui Hall, and Nie, the top courtesan of Dan Gui Hall, personally took him to the second floor, and then hung out the white scarf!”

As she spoke, Qing’er’s cheeks turned slightly red, but her eyes were brimming with tears.

Tang Ling’er was also stunned, then slumped down, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

Indeed, his charm was astonishing!

With just a casual note, he could make the top courtesan of Dan Gui Hall personally welcome him and willingly offer herself to serve him in his chamber.

Although in this era, it was common for men to visit the brothels and pleasure quarters.

But for Tang Ling’er, who had an extremely strong sense of self-esteem, it was still difficult to accept this fact.

Qing’er naturally noticed this and was about to console her.

Tang Ling’er waved her hand, ”Continue to investigate. Remember, you must pay special attention to the movements of the Chang Family!”

”Yes!”

Qing’er left filled with anxiety.

Tang Ling’er sat still in the room, the events of the day rushing to her mind, making her unsure whether to cry or to laugh.

Her mother’s vengeance had been avenged, and the perpetrator had been executed.

But her own lifelong affair had become unpredictable and confusing.

What was she to do?

Just as Tang Ling’er was wallowing in self-pity, Qing’er ran in flustered and panicky.

”Miss, Miss, something’s wrong!”

Tang Ling’er suddenly stood up, her voice fierce, ”What happened?”

”The Chang Family... The Chang Family has suddenly dispatched a lot of skilled fighters to Jile Hall. They are probably targeting Brother Xue!”

A chill flashed in Tang Ling’er’s eyes, which then faded to dullness.

”What can they do by just going there? The people of the Chang Family would never dare to cause trouble in Dangui Hall!”

As she spoke, she was about to sit down.

Qing’er, in utter anxiety, said, ”Miss, I haven’t finished speaking! Brother Xue didn’t stay upstairs in the building. Instead, he went downstairs and then he and Chan’er and a man were eating dumplings on the streets of Jile Hall!”

”What? Are you serious?” Tang Ling’er turned pale with shock.

”Absolutely certain, Miss, you must think of a way to save Brother Xue!” Qing’er was almost crying out of desperation.

Tang Ling’er paced back and forth in the room, her expression extremely serious.

”This Xue An, he is really too much of a worry. Even if you live a clean life, you shouldn’t have left Dangui Hall at this time! Don’t you know what happens when you offend the Chang Family?” Tang Ling’er murmured softly.

At this moment.

Tang Sheng pushed the door open and entered.

”Father? What brings you here?” Tang Ling’er asked, somewhat surprised.

Tang Sheng’s expression was as dark as water, ”No need for more words, I am already informed of the whole matter. Ling’er, I now have just one question for you!”

Tang Ling’er’s countenance turned solemn, ”Please speak, Father!”

”What exactly are your thoughts regarding this Xue An?”

Tang Ling’er was slightly taken aback, then lowered her head.

Tang Sheng took a deep breath, ”Ling’er, this is not the time to play the naive girl. I need only one stance from you, whether your feelings for him run deep?”

Tang Ling’er was silent for a moment, then heavily nodded her head, saying definitively, ”Yes!”

Tang Sheng nodded, ”Very good! Since you feel this way, I will throw this old face away if I must, no matter the cost, I will stop the Chang Family and protect Xue An completely!”

Only then did Tang Ling’er understand what her father intended, and her heart warmed.

”Father, what do we do now?”

Tang Sheng said gravely, ”The Chang Family is powerful, but they have not yet reached the point where they can blot out the sky. Within Tiansheng Capital, there are still those whom they fear. Our only option now is to immediately seek the help of a powerful figure to dissolve this situation!”

Tang Ling’er realized this was the most viable option and thus nodded gravely.

”Then who do we plan to ask for help?”

”This person must have both status and position, otherwise, they will not be able to subdue the Chang Family! I just received news that His Highness has just returned to Jingdu! If we can get him to intervene, then there may be a chance to turn things around!”

Tang Ling’er’s face brightened, ”His Highness has returned to the capital? That’s great. I’ll prepare the carriage and go seek his help right away!”

Tang Ling’er had a very good relationship with this His Highness.

In fact, a major reason why the Tang Family could prosper in Jingdu was because Yan Xi was backing them.

Tang Sheng shook his head, ”This matter is of great importance. The Chang Family also has a powerful backer, and His Highness’s intervention will come at a cost. So you cannot go alone. I have prepared a generous gift, and we will set off immediately!”

Only then did Tang Ling’er realize that, although she was called a business prodigy, she was still far behind her father, who had been battling in the business world for decades.

Even in this calmness, she found herself inferior.

The father and daughter did not dare delay and immediately got up, planning to go to the Eastern Palace on Tiansheng Long Street to seek an audience with His Highness.

But just at this moment.

A streak of light shot straight into the sky, shattering all the mist and rain in the heavens.

”What is that? A meteor?” Tang Ling’er looked up in awe and bewilderment.

But Tang Sheng’s face suddenly turned stark with fear.

”It is... it is a powerful being manifesting their might! Since when did Tiansheng Capital have such an unrivaled powerful figure arrive?”

Just as Tang Sheng and his daughter stood shocked in place.

A house servant from the street end stumbled and ran towards them. By the time he reached the entrance of Tang Mansion, he was gasping for breath, his face full of indescribable panic.
