Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2720: Chapter 2721: The Father and Son Double Act

Upon hearing these words, Yun Lingxuan was so furious that she laughed.

”Well, well, what a noble son of the General’s Mansion in Ling’an. I will remember this!”

With that said, she took a step to leave.

But as soon as her foot was lifted, before it even touched the ground, the white mist surged wildly, faintly resembling the tentacles of ropes, seemingly about to bind Yun Lingxuan completely.

Yun Lingxuan snorted coldly, and the small round mirror in her hand instantly appeared in front of her, erupting with extremely intense brilliance.

Boom!

The mist in front cleared temporarily, but almost instantly, new mist surged in, filling the passageway.

Yun Lingxuan frowned slightly at this sight, and Xu Gaotian’s leisurely voice came from behind.

”It’s useless. I knew Miss Yun possessed a rare treasure, so I specially arranged this courtyard beforehand. Without my approval, you cannot leave!”

Yun Lingxuan did not respond but instead abruptly turned around, sending the small round mirror towards the direction of Xu Gaotian’s voice.

Yet under the swirling mist, there was no trace of Xu Gaotian.

Yun Lingxuan hesitated briefly, and at that moment, she felt a chilling sensation at the back of her neck, as if a poisonous snake were frantically flicking its tongue behind her.

This feeling made her shudder in fear.

Right then, a piercing scream erupted beside her.

”Miss, save me!”

Then, she was grabbed by an invisible tentacle, forcibly dragged into the mist.

Yun Lingxuan was shocked, reaching out to grab her, but it was already too late.

Seeing her only maid about to fall into the clutches of the mist, Yun Lingxuan was utterly enraged, and the small round mirror buzzed, ready to unleash a destructive strike.

Just then, an urgent yet authoritative voice was heard.

”Tian’er, do not be rude!”

With these words, the mist covering the courtyard instantly vanished, and Tuan’er was immediately stopped midway, then rushed back in panic to Yun Lingxuan’s side.

Yun Lingxuan looked up, only to see a figure flying into the courtyard. After the light dispersed, an elderly man with white hair appeared.

The old man wore a brown robe, with broad brows and bright eyes, exuding natural authority.

Upon seeing this old man, the usually unruly Xu Gaotian couldn’t help but lower his head.

”Father!”

”Scoundrel, I asked you to welcome the guests, and this is how you welcome them?”

That’s right!

The old man was the lord of Ling’an City, and the ruler of the entire Ling’an Domain, the Great General Xu Ling’an.

Faced with his father’s unremarkable reprimand, Xu Gaotian showed a face full of indifference.

”Father, I was just joking with Miss Yun, nothing more!”

”Hmph, quickly apologize to Miss Yun. She is an esteemed guest of supreme honor, not to be made fun of!” Xu Ling’an said coldly.

Xu Gaotian shrugged, then bowed to Yun Lingxuan.

”Miss Yun, I was abrupt earlier. Please forgive me!”

Yun Lingxuan’s face was as calm as water.

She obviously wouldn’t be fooled by the dual play between father and son, but she didn’t immediately act, merely standing there coldly.

A fierce look flashed in Xu Gaotian’s eyes.

Xu Ling’an waved his hand, ”Quickly leave, can’t you see Miss Yun doesn’t want to bother with you?”

Xu Gaotian chuckled and then swaggered away.

Xu Ling’an, full of enthusiasm, stepped forward a few paces, bowed, and said, ”Miss Yun, my son is accustomed to arrogance, his words are reckless and actions rash. Please don’t take him seriously!”

Yun Lingxuan looked at him coldly, then lowered her eyes and said lightly.

”General Ling’an, if I hadn’t intended not to use lethal force, would you have kept out of sight?”

The seemingly benevolent Xu Ling’an laughed heartily upon hearing this.

”What is Miss Yun saying? I just happened to have matters and couldn’t personally welcome you, so I let my son take over. Moreover, upon sensing his misconduct, I rushed over without any delay!”

Speaking these words, Xu Ling’an’s face was full of sincerity, showing no trace of deceit.

Yun Lingxuan gazed at him deeply, then nodded, ”If that’s the case, I was being overly cautious!”

”Haha, Miss Yun, please over here. I’ve arranged a grand feast to welcome you, as a way to express my apologies!”

Yun Lingxuan stepped forward, following Xu Ling’an out of the courtyard. At that moment, the young maid Tuan’er gently tugged her sleeve, her face full of worry.

Yun Lingxuan smiled, indicating there was no problem.

Despite this, Tuan’er was still fearful.

After all, the force that almost dragged her into the mist was a vivid memory.

Especially the bone-chilling cold that made her shiver.

She really didn’t understand why the Miss wouldn’t leave under such circumstances, but instead went to attend this so-called welcome banquet.

Yet she didn’t know Yun Lingxuan’s mind was as clear as a mirror, seeing through everything that had just happened.

From the beginning, sending the Black Wolf Army to welcome her, to the rescue by the old eunuch later, and now all these events were actually orchestrated by the General Ling’an.

The purpose was simple, to give her a warning.

The reason she didn’t leave immediately was that she couldn’t.

When General Ling’an’s people contacted her to attend this cultural meeting, Yun Lingxuan initially refused, but the conditions offered by General Ling’an were irresistible.

So, even for those terms, she couldn’t leave.

General Ling’an probably saw through this point, thus using this matter to manipulate her.

Anger surged within Yun Lingxuan, but soon she forcibly suppressed it.

For that item, regardless of the humiliation, she had to endure it.

And as Yun Lingxuan and her maid followed Xu Ling’an to attend the so-called welcome feast.

In a nearby building, Xu Gaotian was sitting at the window with his legs crossed, staring idly into the distance.

At that moment, a gentle female voice came from behind him.

”Young master, isn’t this young lady truly beautiful? Didn’t you feel anything?”

”What if I did? The old man instructed beforehand to put on a show, not to truly act, otherwise, do you think I would let such a beauty slip away from me?” Xu Gaotian said irritably.

”The General is actually thinking for your good. After all, Yun Lingxuan’s background is impressive. Who doesn’t know of the two top academies, Mountain Outside the Green Mountain and Building Outside the Building, and Yun Lingxuan is one of the keepers of Building Outside the Building. If angered, it indeed would be troublesome!”

As she spoke, the person behind emerged from the shadows, it was San Niang who had led Yun Lingxuan into the mansion and courtyard earlier.

She was now dressed in new attire, with light makeup and faintly drawn eyebrows, appearing particularly lovely.

Seeing this, Xu Gaotian pulled her into his embrace.

San Niang let out a soft moan and then chuckled, ”Young master, since when do you not spare even a fading flower like me?”
