Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2384: Chapter 2385: Conflict

"So, you’re saying these people might be snooping around for me?" Xue An said with a faint smile.

The waiter nodded seriously, "I think that’s very possible because this group of customers is strange. Ever since they came in, they’ve been very interested in the private room where you are, sir!"

"They even started asking me indirect questions before they ordered any dishes. That’s why I felt something was off, so I took the opportunity of bringing the menu to quickly come and inform you!"

Xue An nodded and then handed over a Spirit Crystal, "Thank you for your effort!"

This time, however, the waiter did not take it. Instead, he said solemnly, "Sir, the Spirit Crystals you’ve given me before are already more than enough. Besides, I didn’t come to inform you for the sake of your Spirit Crystals, so I won’t take this one!"

Seeing the serious expression on the waiter’s face, Xue An was slightly taken aback, and then nodded.

"Alright, if that’s the case, thank you very much!"

The waiter left.

Everyone in the private room fell into deep thought; Cha Wenliang even slightly furrowed his brows.

"Xue An, who do you think these people might be?"

Xue An chuckled, "How would I know? But since they’re so interested in me, they probably have some unclear ties to the Lou Family business!"

"You mean... people from the Si Family?" Cha Wenliang exclaimed.

Xue An shook his head, "These private rooms in the Medicinal Workshop have been specially modified with multiple layers of shielding, so I also don’t know who they are. What I said just now was just a guess!"

Cha Wenliang’s face turned stern, "Whether or not they are, it’s clear they have ill intentions. Should we leave this place now?"

"Leave?" Xue An smiled and shook his head.

"Avoiding the problem is never a solution. Since they’re here for me, the best course of action is to... meet them head-on!"

Saying so, Xue An stood up and directly opened the door, heading towards the opposite private room.

Cha Wenliang was shocked and didn’t have time to stop him before Xue An had already opened the door to the room.

Inside, Si Mingqi and Si Guangzhong, among others, were engaged in conversation. When they heard the door open, Si Guangzhong didn’t even raise his head, thinking it was the waiter coming in, and loudly said,

"Come on, pour some more tea for me!"

But what responded to him was only silence.

Suddenly, Si Guangzhong sensed something and abruptly looked up, only to see Xue An standing at the door with a smile.

In an instant, Si Guangzhong felt a chill run down his neck, and he involuntarily stepped back.

He forgot he was sitting in a chair, though, so he clumsily fell over backward.

Even in such a disheveled state, he quickly scrambled up from the floor, looking at Xue An with a solemn face.

"You... why are you here?"

Xue An smiled faintly, "Didn’t you all come for me? So...."

Xue An walked directly to the table and sat down, "I thought I’d come over early to see you all!"

Si Guangzhong’s face was a mix of emotions.

Truth be told, despite all his bluster on the way here, he still couldn’t help but feel scared in front of Xue An.

After all, that fatal throat-slicing strike still lingered vividly in his memory.

In contrast, Si Mingqi appeared calm, coldly staring at Xue An across the table.

Xue An smiled and casually drummed his long fingers on the table in front of him, "Are you the reinforcement he brought?"

Si Mingqi’s pupils slightly contracted as he realized he couldn’t see through this young man in white in front of him.

Although he could tell that Xue An was only an Immortal Venerable based on his aura, no matter how he probed, he couldn’t penetrate the layer of mist surrounding him.

This naturally shocked him somewhat.

But what truly startled him was Xue An’s next sentence.

Xue An looked at Si Mingqi with a faint smile, speaking calmly, "Everyone must pay the price for their choices. He’s no exception, and neither are you, right?"

At first glance, this sentence seemed disjointed, but Si Mingqi was stunned because it was precisely what he had once said to Tang Longtao.

Exactly!

The man in black who had bribed Tang Longtao and his cohorts to ambush Lou Yingshi here was him!

This was also why he showed a strange expression when receiving Si Daoyuan’s command token.

Because he hadn’t expected the situation to take such a turn, with Tang Longtao and others he had secretly laid in ambush failing.

It seemed evident now that Tang Longtao and his team’s failure was closely linked to this young man in white.

Of course, these thoughts flashed quickly through Si Mingqi’s mind, and then he regained his composure, staring intently at Xue An.

"You’re not wrong; everyone must pay the price for their choices. So, when you interfered in this case and became an enemy of my Si Family, did you think about what price you might have to pay?"

Xue An chuckled, "Actually, that saying applies more to you all. After all, you were willing to annihilate an entire family for a particular item. Have you ever considered what price you should pay?"

Watching Xue An speak so confidently, Si Guangzhong suddenly felt an absurd notion creeping into his mind.

This group of people originally came to settle scores with this guy, but seeing the current situation, it seemed more like he was the one calling them to account.

This enraged him inwardly.

At that moment, An Yan, Cha Wenliang, and others, worried about Xue An, also caught up.

Seeing Cha Wenliang, Si Guangzhong was shocked, "Ghost Needle Divine Doctor?"

Then a look of sudden realization dawned on his face.

In his view, Xue An dared to be so "arrogant" clearly because he had Cha Wenliang backing him up.

And when he saw An Yan following closely behind, a glint of greed appeared in his eyes.

This self-assured feeling of having seen through everything and his greed made him successfully forget his fear of Xue An, followed by a burst of cold laughter.

"I wondered who would dare oppose my Si Family, turns out you’re relying on the Godfall Valley’s influence. But do you really think having a Ghost Needle Divine Doctor allows you to act with impunity?"

At this point, Si Guangzhong shouted at Si Mingqi, "The culprit is right in front of you, why are you hesitating? Hurry up and capture him!"

Si Mingqi’s face showed dissatisfaction.

After all, on this outing, he was the one holding the Family Head’s command token, while Si Guangzhong was merely a subordinate, not qualified to order him around.

Yet Si Guangzhong, in his current state, wasn’t concerned with any of that as his arrogance continued to rise.

"Si Mingqi, don’t forget what Father ordered. We must obtain the Lou Family’s items at all costs, and Lou Yingshi was rescued by him, so this guy must be captured and severely tortured to find out the item’s whereabouts...."
