Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2338: Chapter 2339: Arriving in Droves (Second Update)

Because in this special setting, no matter how deep their hatred, as long as the other party comes to pay respects, it cannot be acted upon.

At this moment, Long Yushu exchanged a glance with Sima Chongzhao, and then the two of them picked up three sticks of incense, bowed in the air, and walked towards the coffin.

As they approached the coffin, they immediately saw Yue Shifang lying on top.

At this moment, Yue Shifang lay quietly on the coffin, emaciated to the point of skin and bones, with sunken eye sockets that looked like two black hollow holes, terrifying to behold.

Their hearts skipped a beat, but then their eyes revealed a trace of joy.

Because they could clearly sense that there was no sign of life left in Yue Shifang, meaning he was indeed dead.

With their cultivation level, no one could hide the truth from them, so after confirming this fact, they couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

However, in this setting, they still had to suppress their inner joy and feign a facade of grief.

"Patriarch Yue, I truly did not expect you to depart so suddenly, how regrettable!" Long Yushu sighed.

Sima Chongzhao even wiped away tears that did not exist from the corners of his eyes.

Despite their prejudice against Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao, since they came to pay their respects before the coffin, Second Young Lady and Yue Qinghuan had to reciprocate courteously.

Therefore, the two of them turned slightly and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Thank you both for coming to pay your respects," Second Young Lady said in a low voice.

Long Yushu nodded, "You are too kind, and please accept my condolences."

However, Sima Chongzhao did not speak, for at this moment, upon seeing the Second Young Lady and Yue Qinghuan in their white mourning attire, his eyes almost glowed.

As the saying goes, the mourning attire enhances beauty.

Second Young Lady and Yue Qinghuan were already Heavenly Beings in appearance, and now, with their white clothing and tear-streaked faces looking wan and haggard,

their charms were exponentially amplified.

Sima Chongzhao, already a lover of beautiful women, couldn’t help but be captivated by these two radiant women.

Such a blatant stare was naturally noticed by Yue Qinghuan.

She frowned slightly, then gently tugged at Second Young Lady.

The two turned back and knelt quietly by the coffin, saying nothing more.

However, precisely because of this, Sima Chongzhao found himself more restless, especially now that Yue Shifang was dead, and in his view, no one in the Yue Clan could restrain him anymore.

In this situation, he let out a soft chuckle.

"Long Family Head is right, the deceased are gone, and the living must face it bravely!"

"Thank you," Second Young Lady coldly replied, without turning back, having sensed Sima Chongzhao’s ulterior motives.

Yet, Sima Chongzhao, having hit a wall, was unwilling to give up, and he continued with a smile,

"If we talk about seniority, I’m actually your elder. Now that the Yue Clan has suffered such a calamity, I am naturally duty-bound. But is there anything you need me to do, my young ladies? I am at your service!"

"I appreciate Sima Family Head’s concern, but we need nothing," Second Young Lady said coldly.

At this point, the people around also realized something was wrong and all glared angrily at Sima Chongzhao.

But to Sima Chongzhao, already blinded by lust, these "hens and dogs" were not worth his attention.

His eyes shifted, intending to say more.

Just then, someone shouted from the front,

"Gu Clan’s Commander-in-Chief has arrived!"

Following the voice, a group of women in white mourning attire entered, led by Gu Wangya, the Gu Clan’s Commander-in-Chief.

Her appearance made Sima Chongzhao swallow his words.

For he couldn’t openly flirt with Yue Clan’s widows in front of other families!

However, he didn’t leave but stood aside with Long Yushu, waiting for an opportunity.

Gu Wangya naturally noticed them but pretended not to see, solemnly walking to the coffin, respectfully placing three sticks of incense, and then bowing deeply.

This was completely different from the perfunctory rituals of Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao; Gu Wangya’s actions stemmed from heartfelt respect and were very sincere.

After completing the ritual, she stepped up to the coffin.

At this time, Second Young Lady and Yue Qinghuan were about to return the salute but were stopped by her, who, with a face full of sorrow, said,

"There’s no need for such formality. Please do not grieve excessively. After all, no one wished for Patriarch Yue to leave us."

The two women’s hearts warmed, knowing Gu Wangya was sincerely paying her respects, so they nodded slightly.

Then Gu Wangya glanced sideways toward Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao in the distance, and whispered,

"Their intentions for coming here are unlikely to be simple, but your Yue Clan is currently weak and alone. Do not act rashly. Should you need assistance, the Gu Clan is ready to help!"

Whether these words were sincere or not, just hearing Gu Wangya express them made Second Young Lady and Yue Qinghuan very grateful.

Thus, Second Young Lady nodded gently, "Thank you, Commander Gu, for your kindness, regardless of their motives, the Yue Clan will not be afraid!"

Gu Wangya nodded before stepping aside, surprisingly not leaving.

Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao smirked inwardly, but did not show any reaction.

Next to arrive were members of the Zhongli Family.

As Zhongli Wuwang entered, he immediately knelt before the coffin.

This action caused many to be astonished.

After all, Zhongli Wuwang, the Zhongli Family’s Commander-in-Chief, was known for his laziness and being troublesome!

Why suddenly kneel down like this?

Zhongli Wuwang paid no heed to others’ eyes, solemnly performed four kowtows before getting up and saying,

"Patriarch Yue, you were a hero in life, deserving of Zhongli Wuwang’s kneeling!"

Upon these words, many of the Yue family couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Second Young Lady and Yue Qinghuan, of course, had to reciprocate with decorum.

Leading the Yue family, they turned to kneel before Zhongli Wuwang in return.

Zhongli Wuwang slipped to the side then waved his hand, "No need for such formalities! I dislike them!"

Saying so, he glanced around the venue, and upon seeing Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao, he snorted coldly.

Then slowly said, "Hey, where is Xue An, the Xue Family’s Commander-in-Chief?"

This question was one Long Yushu and Sima Chongzhao had also wanted to ask.

Since entering the Yue family grounds, they hadn’t seen Xue An.

To which Second Young Lady explained, "Commander Xue is engaged in constructing a tomb for the family head, hence his absence here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

But immediately, a trace of uncontrollable joy appeared on Sima Chongzhao and Long Yushu’s faces.

If even Xue An isn’t present, that is wonderful.
