Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny - Chapter 10

At a villa in Beijiang, an old man was meditating with his legs crossed.

Meanwhile, a pasty, chubby man was standing in front of him, his head dripping with sweat.

The old man was nothing but skin and bones; a mere gust of wind would’ve blown him away, yet the chubby man held him in such high esteem that he didn’t even dare to make a sound.

Suddenly…

In a burst of light, the tattoo on the old man’s arm vanished without a trace.

The old man opened his eyes and said in an ominous tone, “To think someone here in Beijiang was actually powerful enough to destroy my Crimson Dress Demoness.”

The man shuddered and said, “Immortal Liu, does this mean someone has managed to save that old fart, Qin Yuan?”

If Qin Yu had been there, she’d definitely have been able to recognize who the chubby man was, because he was none other than the Longtai Group’s manager, and also Qin Yu’s uncle, Qin Tian.

The old man was a sage whom Qin Tian had spent a fortune to hire. His name was Liu Ning.

The reason Qin Tian spent so much money to hire Liu Ning was to eliminate Qin Yuan.

If there was one person in the world that wished for Qin Yuan’s death, it was Qin Tian, since only Qin Yuan’s death would ensure his status as leader of the Longtai Group.

As for Qin Yu… Qin Tian had never paid much attention to that niece of his. To him, she was just another helpless woman who posed no real threat to him.

And Liu Ning was no ordinary man. He was the one who had summoned the Crimson Dress Demoness to kill Qin Yuan.

Upon hearing Qin Tian’s comment, Liu Ning let out a shrill, jarring laugh.

“Not to worry. Even if Qin Yuan was indeed rescued by another sage, I’m still not afraid. In two days’ time, once we’ve acquired that item from the auction, no one in this world will be able to stop me!”

No sooner had he finished his sentence than Qin Tian started fawning over him.

During their time together, Qin Tian’s reverence for Liu Ning had grown to the point where he began to worship him like a god.

“Immortal Liu, is that object really that powerful?”

Liu Ning replied coldly, “Did you think you could make me stay in Beijiang and do your bidding with just your pocket change?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” said Qin Tian profusely as he nodded and bowed.

Liu Ning appeared agitated. “How could mere mortals like you put up such a treasure for auction? If I’d known who had the item, I wouldn’t have waited for a silly auction!

“As for Qin Yuan…

“Once I have my hands on that item, I’ll easily eliminate him for you!”

“But…” Qin Tian’s face showed signs of hesitation.

Liu Ning said with a cold laugh, “Don’t worry, once my cultivation level gets a boost, I’ll be able to kill him quietly without leaving a trace. No one will ever suspect that you’re behind it.”

Qin Tian was very pleased to hear so. “Thank you, great immortal!”

Xue Xiang and Xue Nian were fast asleep, as the past few days had been tiring for the two little girls.

While they were deep in their slumber, Xue An rose and took the opportunity to clean up the house.

He opened the door to An Yan’s bedroom. The room had been kept virtually the same since he had left four years earlier.

Every object in the room had remained the same, save for a thin layer of dust on top.

The only thing that looked as new as the first day he saw it was a photograph of him and An Yan on the nightstand.

Xue An picked up the photograph. In it, An Yan was huddled close to him and smiling brightly.

Xue An felt a slight pain in his heart.

He wished, “An Yan, wait for me! I promise I’ll bring you back and make you proud!

“I’ll show those people who looked down on us and opposed us!

“Huh?”

It suddenly struck Xue An that the picture seemed to have been touched regularly, especially his image in the photo, which had been rubbed so many times that it’d begun to change colors.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Xue An put down the photo and opened the door.

Tang Xuan’er was standing at the door with a bag of vegetables dangling from her hand.

“Welcome back!” Xue An gave her a warm smile and invited Tan Xuan’er into his house.

“Where are Xiangxiang and Niannian?”

“They fell asleep!”

Tang Xuan’er grinned. “Looks like nothing beats a father’s love. They’d normally never fall asleep without seeing me first!”

Upon noticing that the bedroom door was open, Tang Xuan’er explained calmly, “I’ve been cleaning that room all these years, but I never moved anything. I always had a feeling you’d come back!”

“Okay!”

“Have you had dinner?”

“Yep!”

“Would you like to eat again?”

“Sure!” Xue An smiled at the girl whose gracefulness was reminiscent of a wildflower in a valley.

Then Tang Xuan’er began cooking up a storm effortlessly!

In no time at all, a sumptuous spread of dishes had been prepared.

Xue An sat down to eat.

Suddenly, Tang Xuan’er said, “Tomorrow… our old high school classmates are holding a reunion!”

“Oh!”

“So, are you going?”

Xue An shook his head. “I don’t even remember any of my classmates from high school. Why would I go?”

“You’re still the same. This time, the reunion will be different. Our former classmate, Fan Mengxue, who used to sit beside you, is coming back to Beijiang. This reunion was organized specially for her!”

Fan Mengxue?

Xue An furrowed his eyebrows, trying to recall who she was. Then, he remembered.

“It’s fine that she’s coming back, but why are they making such a big deal out of it?”

Tang Xuan’er gave Xue An a look of disbelief. “Are you kidding me? You don’t know?”

“Know what?”

“Fan Mengxue is the pride of our class! She’s the most popular actress right now. Last month, she even won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. She’s a star!”

“Oh. Does that have anything to do with me?” Xue An said plainly.

Tang Xuan’er let out a sigh. “Did you forget? Fan Mengxue used to have a crush on you back in school!”

Something stirred within Xue An as he recalled images of a girl from his past, who had a big ponytail and two prominent dimples when she smiled.

How?

Tang Xuan’er didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she saw Xue An’s astonished face. “Everyone in our class knew about it. Didn’t you notice at all?”

Xue An shook his head.

His reaction left Tang Xuan’er speechless for a while. Then, she said softly, “I’m going tomorrow. Why don’t you come with me?”

Xue An thought about it and nodded. “Alright! But I’m bringing Xiangxiang and Niannian, too!”

“Fine. I’ll come and fetch you tomorrow afternoon, then!”

With that, Tang Xuan’er left.

Xue An sat down in the living room and turned on the television.

Coincidentally, an interview was being aired, and the interviewee was the very girl who used to share a desk with him in class, the girl who was now a starlet, Fan Mengxue.

“Ms. Fan, rumor has it that one of the four most eligible bachelors of the Middle Capital, Yue Xiaotian, is pursuing you. Is it true?”

Fan Mengxue was unbelievably gorgeous in the spotlight. When confronted with the reporter’s question, she gave a little smile.

“Mr. Yue and I are just friends. I’ve always thought of him as an older brother!”

The reporters went wild.

“Does that mean you’re not interested in anyone right now? In other words, what type of guy are you looking for?” The reporter persisted with questions.

Fan Mengxue was stunned for a moment. There were faint signs of tears at the corners of her eyes.

“I’ve already had someone in my heart for a long time!”

The reporters went absolutely ballistic—what juicy news!

“Could you tell us who the lucky guy is?”

Fan Mengxue smiled. “He was my classmate. He’s been missing for four years now, but I have a feeling that we’ll meet again!”

The interview ended there. Although the reporters were hungry to learn more about the man, Fan Mengxue had already left.

Meanwhile, at a swanky villa in Beijiang, a handsome but vicious-eyed man chucked away his remote control in anger.

The remote control hit a 70 inch LCD television, shattering it with a loud crack.

The man said spitefully, “Fan Mengxue, you’re still hung up on that loser to this day? Fine. If he dares to show up at tomorrow’s party, I’ll crush him right before your eyes!”
