Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2638: Chapter 2639: The Small Daoist Temple at the Spacetime Node

Until Xue An and everyone else disappeared, Griffin finally lifted his head, which had been lowered in farewell, and cast a cold gaze upon those present.

Everyone shuddered where his gaze fell.

It was not Griffin they feared, but the man standing behind him.

Griffin was naturally aware of this.

But for someone like him, who had struggled from a young age in the slums and was best at playing the tiger that eats pigs, this was an ideal situation.

After all, since he promised Xue An, it meant he became a blade in Xue An’s hand.

And as a blade, he should have the awareness of a blade.

Griffin’s lips curled into a slight, reserved smile, matching his elegant attire and outstanding appearance, like he was a nobleman.

”I’m sure everyone heard what that lord just said. Since he wants me to teach everyone what awe means, I have no choice but to oblige. I hope everyone will cooperate from now on.”

His words were exceedingly polite and proper, easing the expressions of some people, who felt that this Griffin was quite sensible.

Only Mandy, who had been sitting next to Griffin all along, gave him a deep look.

She certainly did not believe that Griffin would so easily let those present go.

However, she was not afraid; instead, she felt a bit excited inside.

Because just now, the Carter Family and many other powerful families had disappeared, which meant many territories were left vacant.

Though tinged with blood, it was a very tempting piece of cake.

Mandy came from the very ancient Lester Family, whose history could even be traced back to the founding of District Two long ago.

So her vision was quite extraordinary, and she naturally saw that with Xue An backing him, Griffin’s future was limitless.

Moreover, her previous interactions with Griffin had left her with quite a favorable impression of this man.

The most crucial point was that she had helped him in the past.

This kind of help, given before success, was even more precious.

Thinking of this, Mandy bit her fiery red lips and silently made a decision.

While Griffin began to reorganize the forces of District Two, Xue An had already returned with his people to Beijiang.

Upon seeing Xue An again, both Qin Yu and An Qing were filled with awe towards him.

After all, they had already learned the general happenings of District Two through various channels.

Just this general understanding was enough to shock them deeply.

But Xue An paid no mind to these external astonishments and merely spoke softly to Huyue.

”You stay here and guard.”

”What are you going to do?” Huyue immediately asked.

”I have discovered something new that I need to verify. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”

With that, Xue An leaped and disappeared into the horizon.

Huyue watched Xue An’s hasty departure and couldn’t help but sigh.

”That guy always acts so mysteriously.”

Nevertheless, Huyue knew that since Xue An had made such a statement, he must have made a new discovery, and she felt secretly excited.

In a blink of an eye, Xue An flew away from Beijiang and reached Mount Qingmang.

At this moment, Mount Qingmang was desolate.

Because of Xiao Sha’s transformation and departure, the once-abundant veins and Ling Yun were destroyed, leaving withered flowers and grasses everywhere, a scene of desolation.

However, Xue An followed the vaguely discernible path through the mountains to the depths of Mount Qingmang and eventually stopped in front of a pear orchard.

The climate of Mount Qingmang was well-suited for pear trees to grow, and coupled with the gathering of Ling Yun, the Ya pears produced here had become a famous local specialty.

But now these pear trees looked quite withered, with many of their leaves yellowed.

What Xue An focused on was not this; he quickly walked into the pear orchard and eventually found a small courtyard within.

This courtyard was very old, with its walls collapsed, apparently uninhabited for a long time, but one could vaguely tell it had been a Daoist Temple.

For hanging in this tiny courtyard was a shattered Yin Yang Bagua Diagram.

Xue An halted, a complex expression on his face.

He was not unfamiliar with this small courtyard.

Because long ago, before he left Qingmang Town, he had come to this small courtyard more than once.

During that time, Xue An’s parents had passed away early, and without a source of income, it was very difficult for him to pursue his studies, so he often entered the mountains to collect some local specialties in exchange for meager pay.

Later, he met the old Daoist Zhai who lived in this orchard of thousands of pear trees.

The old Daoist took good care of Xue An, and it could even be said that without him, Xue An might have never left Qingmang Town.

In fact, in the previously unaltered world, this old Daoist reappeared later on.

At that time, newly reborn Xue An returned to Qingmang Town, coincidentally met Song Yi and Chen Rushi, and entered the mountains in search of Xiao Sha.

Then he met the old Daoist again.

This old Daoist was actually stationed there under his master’s orders to guard Jiaolong, so he met Xue An once more, and many things happened afterward.

But this old Daoist only appeared briefly and then vanished.

It wasn’t that the author forgot about him, but because this old Daoist was inherently peaceful without a thirst for conflict. As Xue An’s prestige grew, he retreated into seclusion and refused to show himself.

Afterwards, Earth went through a great calamity, and Xue An specially sent people to find him, but to no avail, leaving Xue An filled with sighs at the time.

But all these events occurred in the unaltered world, while in this timeline, Xue An perceived many different things.

While in the Carter Family, Xue An, helped by the so-called Space-Time Sacred Artifact, had seen the vast and endless sea of time and space.

Innumerable threads of fate were connected, yet Xue An himself was excluded.

But Xue An quickly discovered an anomaly among them.

All these changes in fate seemed to originate from an unassuming space-time node.

This space-time node appeared to be subtly connected with Mount Qingmang.

Thus, Xue An returned here once more.

Xue An stepped into this soon-to-collapse room.

With no one living there for a long time, a musty smell permeated the space.

Xue An was somewhat dazed.

Scenes from the past flashed before his eyes.

But in this timeline, the old Daoist had long since passed away and had never met him.

After being absent-minded for a while, Xue An took out the Space-Time Sacred Artifact and immersed his Divine Sense into it.

In an instant, the surrounding images quickly faded, and Xue An saw everything that had occurred in this small room.

The old Daoist, still relatively young at the time, came here, cut down grass to build a hut, and made his home in this remote and wild place.

Everything was because of a master’s last wish, telling him to secretly protect Xiao Sha, then just a flood dragon.

Such life was tranquil, perhaps even boring, so after his daily tasks, the old Daoist would plant pear flowers.

Day by day, year by year, he eventually planted this orchard covering thousands of acres.
