Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Are you not satisfied with the beating? How about another slap? (1st update)

”You... You dare to hit me?” Zhuo Ya’s body trembled, as she stared deadly at Xue An, screaming venomously.

”What’s the matter? It seems you are not satisfied with being beaten? Do you want another slap to make your face more symmetrical?” Xue An said with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Zhuo Ya’s body shuddered, and she retreated fearfully backward, then glared hatefully at Zhuo Yangyang, who was already scared stiff. ”Fine! Zhuo Yangyang, you’ve really grown your wings, daring to collude with outsiders to hit me, you just wait!”

With that, she got up hastily and fled in embarrassment.

As soon as she left, the whole scene immediately filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Someone said ecstatically, ”That slap was so satisfying! I’ve long found Zhuo Ya annoying!”

”Exactly, just for that slap, I’m going to drink a few more later!”

The rest looked at Xue An with admiration and astonishment.

But there were also some who were very worried, especially Captain Meng Lei, who was looking at Xue An with a worried face.

At that moment, Xue An walked up to Zhuo Yangyang, who stood there lost, smiled faintly, and said, ”Miss Zhuo, didn’t you invite me to your home? Shall we go now?”

”Ah... Yes, yes! Let’s go now!” Zhuo Yangyang’s voice became quieter as she spoke, and the color of panic in her eyes intensified.

Xue An just smiled and then walked forward.

Zhuo Mansion was not far from the port, just around two main streets away.

Upon reaching the front gate,

the gorgeously decorated grand building had its main gate tightly closed.

Seeing this, Zhuo Yangyang’s eyes showed a hint of sadness, then she whispered softly, ”Sir, please follow me!”

Saying that, Zhuo Yangyang led Xue An around the main gate to a side gate.

”Sir, I’m really sorry that the main gate is not open; let’s go through here,” Zhuo Yangyang said apologetically.

Xue An smiled noncommittally, ”Alright!”

Although it was a side gate, it was still quite imposing, and there were guards at the gate as well.

When Zhuo Yangyang appeared there, the gatekeeper, who had been leaning against the wall drowsy, immediately woke up and exclaimed with joy.

”Miss Yangyang, you’re back!”

Zhuo Yangyang smiled faintly, ”Yes, I’m back! Could you please open the gate?”

”Of course, just a moment, please!”

Saying that, the gatekeeper hurriedly pushed open the side gate.

But as Zhuo Yangyang stepped inside, the gatekeeper suddenly lowered his voice and said, ”Miss Yangyang, you must be careful, I heard that right after the second miss came back, she went straight to the back house and is throwing a tantrum!”

Zhuo Yangyang’s face changed, but she still forced a smile and nodded, ”Thank you!”

Passing through the side gate and then walking through a corridor, they arrived at a small courtyard which, although not big, was very simple and clean.

”Sir! Please sit here for a moment; I’ll go arrange your accommodation!”

Saying that, Zhuo Yangyang turned and left.

Xue An sat in the courtyard, looking around.

It was evident that though the courtyard was clean, the arrangement was rather sparse.

Especially considering that she was a young lady from a wealthy household, the fact that she didn’t even have a maid serving her, spoke volumes about Zhuo Yangyang’s status in the family.

At that moment, a quarrelsome noise came from outside the courtyard.

Then, a woman with a face full of flesh followed Zhuo Yangyang into the room.

”Oh, Miss Yangyang, don’t wrong the good people, I really didn’t mean to make things difficult for you, it’s just that your friend is hard to accommodate! Without the chief steward’s orders, I dare not arrange a room for you!” the woman said with a face full of sarcasm.

Zhuo Yangyang’s eyes brimmed with tears, but she still suppressed her anger and said in a low voice, ”Mother Feng, this is a distinguished guest who has shown great kindness to our Zhuo Family. Please make the arrangements first; I will speak with the chief steward later!”

”Hehe, Miss Yangyang, although you are the master and I am the servant, rules cannot be broken. Otherwise, I cannot answer to my superiors. Also, I think...”

The woman glanced at Xue An ambiguously and smiled, ”Since this friend is brought by you, why not let him stay with you for the time being? After all, it wouldn’t mean much to you, don’t you think?”

”You...” Zhuo Yangyang turned pale with anger.

Mother Feng looked on with a gleeful and smug expression in her eyes.

For these servants, it was clear who could be provoked and who could not within the estate.

And Zhuo Yangyang, being an orphan, was obviously an easy target.

Although Mother Feng held only a small power of assigning rooms, she greatly enjoyed making others feel uncomfortable.

Especially since she had heard that today the second young lady had stormed home and went directly to the old lady to complain about Zhuo Yangyang.

This time Zhuo Yangyang was either going to be severely punished or she was going to be stripped of her dignity, so Mother Feng didn’t take her seriously at all.

Zhuo Yangyang’s heart turned cold. She had traveled far and wide for the Zhuo Family, braving great risks crossing the Sea of Divine Wrath, only to return home to such treatment.

It was one thing to be treated like this herself, but the slow hospitality towards Xue An was unbearable.

At that moment,

suddenly, a tumultuous sound of footsteps came from outside, and then an old man, dressed simply but emanating authority, entered.

As soon as Mother Feng saw the old man, her arrogant face immediately turned into one of fawning servility.

”Chief Steward! What brings you here personally?”

Zhuo Yangyang was also startled, ”Uncle Zhuo!”

As she was about to bow,

the old man stepped forward and bowed before her, ”I pay my respects to the young miss!”

This caused Mother Feng to blush and turn pale by turns, standing there in extreme embarrassment.

Zhuo Yangyang blinked in surprise, then said with a bitter smile, ”Uncle Zhuo, it seems you are the only one left in this mansion who still acknowledges me as a young miss!”

This old man was indeed the chief butler of Zhuo Mansion. Due to his loyalty, the old master of the Zhuo Family had bestowed upon him the Zhuo surname.

Having served for over a century, Uncle Zhuo held a distinguished position within Zhuo Mansion; even the children of the Zhuo Family had to address him as their junior.

Hearing her words, the butler subtly sighed and then respectfully said, ”Miss Yangyang, the old lady asks for your presence!”

Zhuo Yangyang’s complexion turned pale immediately, for she knew very well that the slap Xue An had given Zhuo Ya would not be overlooked. The old lady already despised her normally; this summons was likely to be even more ominous.

Seeing Zhuo Yangyang’s worry, the butler stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said, ”Don’t worry too much, Miss Yangyang. It seems the old lady does not intend to punish you this time, but remember, you must not take it lightly!”

Zhuo Yangyang nodded gratefully, ”Thank you, Uncle Zhuo!”

”Go quickly! I will take care of your friend!”

”Okay!”
