Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1403: Chapter 1400: Insignificant Ants Not Worth Mentioning (Second Update)

Faced with the salutes of numerous guards, he merely nodded slightly. His gaze swept over the Ghost General that had already been reduced to ashes on the ground. His pupils contracted instantly before he turned to look at Xue An and the rest.

When his eyes fell upon Luo Jingting, he couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

He had rushed over after hearing the report from the guards at the gate.

He initially assumed it was some esteemed guest visiting. Yet to his utter astonishment, it turned out to be Luo Jingting.

Luo Jian naturally knew this collateral relative of the family.

In fact, during Luo Jingting’s last visit here with Luo Li, it was Luo Jian who personally received her.

It was precisely because of this that Luo Jian found himself even more perplexed.

How could a mere collateral branch member possess such formidable power, to the extent of completely eradicating the Ghost General guarding the gate?

Could the mystery lie with this white-clad youth?

These questions flashed through Luo Jian’s mind in an instant. Yet his expression remained calm, betraying nothing. He quickly regained his composure, even offering a faint smile to Luo Jingting.

”I wondered who it might be—it’s my dear sister Jingting!”

His tone was gentle and soothing, as though genuinely thrilled to see a younger sister.

Upon seeing Luo Jian, Luo Jingting couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

When she had followed Luo Li here last time, almost no one had shown her any respect. The sole person leaving a good impression on her had been Luo Jian.

Now that it was him, Luo Jingting naturally felt a surge of joy.

”So it’s Seventh Brother!” Luo Jingting made a polite bow.

”At ease! Jingting, what brings you back? And who might this be?” Luo Jian’s gaze remained fixed on Xue An.

”I’ve come on behalf of my mother to visit everyone. As for this gentleman... he’s my guard!”

On their way here, the group had already decided. To avoid alarming anyone, Xue An would play the role of Luo Jingting’s guard.

”A guard?” Luo Jian cast a deep, probing glance at Xue An. He then broke into a wide grin.

”Very well then. Come in, Jingting!”

This said, Luo Jian promptly ushered Luo Jingting and her companions into the mansion. He personally arranged accommodations for them before finally taking his leave.

Once they were settled, Wen Muling couldn’t hold back a sigh of relief. With a hint of excitement, she asked, ”Master, what should we do next?”

Xue An glanced at the shadowed array of buildings ahead and said calmly, ”There’s no rush. I have a feeling something entertaining will happen soon.”

Wen Muling froze briefly, then bowed her head in quiet contemplation.

Their arrival was akin to a droplet of water merging into the sea—silent and unnoticed.

Meanwhile.

In the study of the Luo Family Mansion, Luo Qifeng sat expressionlessly as he listened to his subordinate’s report. With a wave of his hand, the subordinate retreated without a sound.

Once the study returned to silence, a stunningly beautiful woman emerged from behind a screen. Her smile was enchanting as she said, ”Big Brother, doesn’t it seem suspicious that Luo Jingting showed up at this particular time?”

Reclining on a soft couch, Luo Qifeng responded indifferently, ”What kind of waves could a mere collateral branch member possibly stir up?”

”But judging from what I just heard, our Seventh Brother seems to hold Luo Jingting in high regard. He even personally showed her the way!” The woman tittered.

Luo Qifeng sneered. ”Do you really think it’s because of Luo Jingting? It’s just that he values the person who killed the Ghost General at the gate!”

”True enough. I heard that the white-clad youth at the gate earlier was incredibly skilled. He didn’t even seem to lift a finger, yet the Ghost General died on the spot.”

”No matter how skilled he is, it’s nothing but reckless bravado!” Luo Qifeng’s lips curled into a derisive smirk.

”Seventh Brother has always been like that. He dreams of forming ties with powerful figures from the outside world, yet he fails to realize that true power comes from within. Besides, killing a mere Ghost General hardly counts as being a mighty figure. It’s no more than squashing an ant—utterly insignificant!”

As he spoke, Luo Qifeng’s tone was laced with cold disdain, his every movement imbued with an extraordinary charisma.

The woman gazed at Luo Qifeng in a daze, admiration gleaming in her eyes.

As the Luo Family’s third young lady, Luo Xuan had always harbored the deepest reverence for her elder brother.

And as she grew older, this reverence had morphed into something akin to a fanatical devotion.

Hearing Luo Qifeng’s confident words, Luo Xuan was utterly entranced.

At that moment, a streak of black light shot through the air, stopping directly in front of Luo Qifeng.

His expression darkened as he immediately picked up the message. Upon reading it, he abruptly stood up.

”What’s wrong, Big Brother?” Luo Xuan asked.

With a stern expression, Luo Qifeng replied, ”The message just arrived—the Wei Family has set out and will be here shortly.”

These words cast a somber look on Luo Xuan’s face.

”Should we head out to meet them?”

Luo Qifeng shook his head. ”No need! The Wei Family will come directly to our Luo Family. What matters now is ensuring everything is prepared and flawless!”

At this, Luo Qifeng fixed his sister with a penetrating gaze. ”I’m entrusting you with this. Are you up to it?”

With a radiant smile, Luo Xuan replied, ”Don’t worry, Big Brother. I’ll handle it!”

Luo Qifeng nodded approvingly. ”Good. Begin preparations immediately!”

”Understood!”

Luo Xuan turned to carry out her orders.

Standing by the window, Luo Qifeng’s aloof face broke into a faint smile.

No matter what, as long as they could establish ties with the Wei Family, his aspirations would soar, perhaps even propelling the Luo Family further than ever before.

Compared to this, someone like Luo Jingting wasn’t even worth a thought.

With news of the Wei Family heir’s imminent arrival, the entire Luo Family sprang into action.

Luo Xuan frantically deployed personnel and organized everything down to the last detail.

The auxiliary forces dispatched by the Pan and Mo Families also leapt into motion, adding fuel to the already burning urgency of the situation.

Amidst all the commotion, Wen Muling asked with evident curiosity, ”Master, what is the Luo Family so busy preparing for?”

Xue An remained composed, though he too was unsure of their precise plans.

But he had a feeling that it would be something significant.

Luo Jingting gradually recovered from her earlier perplexity, though she chose to remain silent and wait.

And in this charged atmosphere.

A massive Ghost Carriage suddenly appeared in the depths of the ghostly realm with overwhelming momentum.

Inside the carriage, a frail-looking woman spoke softly, ”Young Master, we’ve arrived.”

At those words, the chair slowly turned around, revealing its occupant—a man wearing an idiotic grin, with drool running down his lips.

Just like... a fool!
