Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1225: Chapter 1222: Yan Yang’s Greed - The Battle Between Two Women (3rd Update)

”Outrageous!” Yan Yang slammed the table fiercely, shouting loudly.

Yan Meishu, however, showed no weakness and instead raised her head, saying in a deep voice, ”Father, the words I speak are from the heart. The rise and fall, even life and death of our Yan Family depends on the decision you make at this moment! We must not be blinded by the insignificant immediate gains; otherwise, not only will we have forsaken all our former achievements, but we might also offend Mr. Xue!”

Yan Yang let out a cold laugh in anger.

And the whole room erupted into an uproar.

”What’s gotten into the young miss? How could she be so defiant towards the Family Head for someone we haven’t met, whose authenticity is even uncertain?” someone said with a face full of astonishment.

”Indeed! Ever since returning from the Border City, Miss Yan seems to have gone mad, always talking about Mr. Xue, constantly mentioning Mr. Xue! But the problem is, does this Mr. Xue even exist, or is it all still unclear?” someone else said with a sneer.

”Exactly! If we listened to the young mistress, it would seem like everything that happened in Lihen Heaven was done by this Mr. Xue, but how can that be possible?” another person said with a look of disdain.

Amidst the boiling discussions, Yan Meishu remained entirely undisturbed, standing quietly, looking up at her father.

Yan Yang’s face was looking very unpleasant at this time.

Because he never expected his most esteemed daughter to dare to talk back to him publicly.

This filled his heart with rage.

But before he could speak up, Yan Mengtao had already gracefully stepped out from the crowd and first paid her respects to Yan Yang, ”My dear father, please calm your anger!”

Then she turned her head, looking at Yan Meishu with a playful face.

”Tsk, tsk, elder sister, I truly admire you! You actually dare to talk back to our father in public. Aren’t you afraid of breaking father’s heart by doing so?”

These words seemed to be averting a dispute, but in fact, they were pouring oil on the fire.

In reality, Yan Mengtao was already excited as soon as she saw Yan Meishu step forward to speak because she knew her elder sister’s character very well.

Sure enough.

In just a couple of sentences, Yan Meishu had started a confrontation with their father.

When Yan Mengtao saw the anger in Yan Yang’s eyes, she knew the moment was ripe.

She could take this opportunity to sufficiently diminish Yan Meishu’s prestige.

That’s why she hurried to intervene and speak.

At this moment, facing Yan Mengtao’s questioning, Yan Meishu had a somber expression and gave her sister a cold glance.

”For the rise and fall, the life and death of the Yan Family, even if it upsets our father, I must speak!”

Yan Mengtao was inwardly overjoyed by hearing this, for Yan Meishu’s words were simply playing with fire.

Sure enough.

The complexion on Yan Yang’s face became so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it; with a snort of anger, he looked away from her.

Yan Mengtao became even more complacent and said with a face full of mockery, ”Yan Meishu, setting aside your disrespect to our father, I ask you just one question, are you so certain that this so-called Mr. Xue will appear?”

Yan Meishu nodded, ”Of course I’m certain! Because before he left, he said that the one he wanted to deal with was the Domain Lord of this realm, Lord Lihen, and as you all have seen, Lord Lihen is now dead! This naturally proves that Mr. Xue has achieved it! Do you still have any doubts about it?”

Many people of the Yan Family heard this and their expressions changed slightly.

Because no matter what, Lord Lihen was indeed dead, how could that be explained?

Yet Yan Mengtao remained utterly unconcerned and instead scoffed, ”Well! Even if this Mr. Xue has shown his might and killed Lord Lihen, haven’t you thought about it? It has been more than ten days since the incident occurred. With so much time passed without his appearance, could it be that he has perished alongside Lord Lihen?”

This remark stirred the emotions of everyone present.

”Indeed! Lord Lihen is a Half-step Immortal King, an extremely formidable foe. Even if it really was Mr. Xue who killed him, he must have paid a dreadful price. Perhaps they really did perish together!” someone spoke up.

The crowd nodded in agreement.

Yan Meishu’s expression changed, and a hint of panic flashed through the depths of her gaze.

Because the words spoken by Yan Mengtao were not impossible.

At least Yan Meishu had secretly contemplated these matters more than once.

But in the end, she still chose to believe in Xue An’s strength and continued to wait.

However, faced with accusations from her own sister, Yan Meishu found herself at a loss for words, simply standing there speechless.

”What? Nothing to say now?” Yan Mengtao laughed triumphantly.

Then she turned to Yan Yang and said, ”Father, my opinion is the exact opposite of Yan Meishu’s. I think now is the best opportunity for our Yan Family to take over Lihen Heaven and gain the maximum benefit! We must not waste it.”

Yan Yang nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this. ”Very well! That’s exactly what I’m thinking! So, what do you think our next move should be?”

His words seemed to seek Yan Mengtao’s opinion.

This change caused many faces to shift and they exchanged glances.

They all understood that Yan Yang’s attitude had changed.

After this event, it was highly likely that Yan Meishu would fall out of favor, while Yan Mengtao’s influence would soar.

With this shift, many now looked at Yan Mengtao with fervent gazes.

Yan Mengtao naturally felt this change and was overjoyed. She then said with a beaming smile, ”Father, I think the most urgent task is to choose the most sincere among these powers!”

”Then who do you think is the most sincere?” he inquired.

Yan Mengtao pondered for a moment, ”I think the envoy who just left seemed quite sincere! Moreover, since they are forces from within Lihen City, it will be more convenient for them to act!”

Yan Yang burst into laughter, ”Excellent! You truly are my daughter, Yan Yang; your thoughts are exactly like mine! Then let’s decide on this. I will reply to them now and discuss the alliance matters!”

”I will follow Father’s decision!” Yan Mengtao beamed, performing a respectful bow, then glancing triumphantly at Yan Meishu, filled with a sense of triumph.

Yan Meishu, however, ignored her sister’s provocation. At that moment, she was as cold as ice and suddenly spoke out with a firm voice, ”Father, we must absolutely not do this!”

After speaking, she stepped forward to block Yan Yang’s path.

Yan Yang’s expression darkened with fury as he rebuked, ”Yan Meishu, do you even respect our family rules? Step aside, or you will regret it!”

Faced with such a rebuke, Yan Meishu’s face went pale, but she remained unmoved and spoke up once again.

”Father, we must absolutely not do this!”

”Get lost!” Yan Yang, burning with anger, raised his hand and delivered a slap, sending Yan Meishu flying.

The crisp sound silenced the whole place.

Yan Meishu, with blood streaming from her nose and mouth, collapsed to the ground, showing a look of bewilderment on her face.

For she had never been struck by anyone from childhood to this day.

After hitting her, Yan Yang also seemed stunned, but soon he snorted coldly, ”After returning, you will reflect under the cliff at the back mountain for three years! You need not concern yourself with the affairs of the family anymore!”
