Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2453: Chapter 2454: Return to the Bing Family

The Hundred Families Assembly is about to commence, marking the first grand event faced by the Bing Family after their unification. The entire Bing Family is extremely focused on it.

Everyone is bustling about, wanting to let this ancient sect shine once again at this grand event.

In contrast, as the Family Head of the Bing Family, Yue Shifang is much more at leisure.

Aside from occasions where he must appear, Yue Shifang generally hides in the garden pavilion drinking tea and wine, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Today was no exception.

The second young lady had gone out early to select the elite warriors who would accompany them to the Hundred Families Assembly.

Yue Shifang hid in the back garden pavilion, pouring for himself, enjoying the flowers and scenery like a man of leisure.

But just as he was feeling slightly tipsy, a gentle breeze suddenly swept through the garden pavilion, causing the wind chimes to ring endlessly under the eaves.

Yue Shifang paused, then put down his wine cup, a hint of surprise mixed with expected humor appearing on his face.

"Since you’re already here, come quickly and have a few drinks with me!"

As soon as the words dropped, Xue An’s figure appeared opposite the table.

"Are you so sure it’s me?" Xue An chuckled lightly.

Yue Shifang laughed heartily, "Besides you, it seems no one else can enter my backyard so easily and comfortably!"

As he spoke, Yue Shifang poured Xue An a full cup of wine.

The two raised their cups, exchanged smiles, and then drank it all down.

Once the wine went down, Yue Shifang’s eyes seemed to light up, full of brilliance, as he earnestly examined Xue An.

Xue An remained unmoved, not even raising his head, picking up his chopsticks to tackle the dishes on the table.

After a moment, Yue Shifang’s face showed deep admiration, sighing, "I never expected, but within mere months, you’ve truly taken that step, achieving the Sage Body!"

"To be precise, seven months and eight days!"

"Your speed is indeed quite remarkable. If those who have been stuck in the Immortal Venerable Realm for hundreds of years heard of this, they’d likely be shocked!"

"I can’t help it, I’m a genius after all! Geniuses must have some extraordinary traits!" Xue An joked.

Unexpectedly, Yue Shifang nodded seriously.

"Indeed, you are a genius, and a genius among geniuses!"

Xue An smiled nonchalantly, raised his hand and filled two more cups with wine.

"Alright, for my genius, let’s drink up!"

With the two cups downed, they began conversing animatedly.

Xue An narrated roughly about what he encountered at the Pharmacists’ Alliance, although Yue Shifang knew beforehand, he still listened with shining eyes.

Especially when he heard that Xue An defeated the Shen Family’s two Great Sword Cultivators and forced Shen Hongyi’s Sword Spirit to regenerate, he couldn’t help but applaud in praise.

"Great! Well done, I’ve always disliked the Shen Family. Now you’ve defeated their two Great Sword Cultivators, breaking their so-called undefeated Golden Body. Let’s see how they boast about it now!"

As he spoke, Yue Shifang’s face was full of schadenfreude.

Xue An merely smiled at this, "But the Shen Family’s second young master sought me out, and personally issued a challenge!"

"I know about this. Weren’t you in closed cultivation at the time?"

"Yes, but I also learned about the whole incident! And I had a duel with Shen Muyu!"

"Oh?" Yue Shifang’s eyes showed deep curiosity, "And the result?"

"In terms of strength, he’s strong. But in terms of realm...he’s not quite up to mine!" Xue An said calmly.

"So that means you won, right?"

"In a way, but at the time, due to my closed cultivation, my strength was limited, so I didn’t really fight, just compared Sword Intent!"

Yue Shifang gave Xue An a deep look and suddenly asked: "Do you know what the Shen Family’s second young master is known for in the Sky Beyond the Skies?"

"Known for what?"

"His talent is outstanding. Since entering Chengjian Mountain, he has never been defeated, and being the youngest Saint Sword Cultivator in Shen Family history, he is also called the Undefeated Sword God! Yet you could surpass him in Sword Intent, that’s truly impressive!"

Xue An laughed, "Actually, you were wrong!"

"Oh? Wrong?"

"At that time I merely surpassed him in Sword Intent, but now I have confidence to thoroughly defeat him!" Xue An said seriously.

As a Sword Cultivator, the most important thing is this indomitable and self-confident demeanor.

If you feel intimidated before the battle, then you’ve already lost without fighting.

So Xue An was not modest at all, speaking with utter bravado.

Yue Shifang laughed heartily, "Good! A confident declaration to thoroughly defeat him, just for this saying deserves a big toast!"

The two continued drinking and were soon quite spirited.

"When do you plan to set out for the Hundred Families Assembly?" Xue An asked.

"Soon, almost done preparing these days, but Qing Huan hasn’t emerged from her cultivation yet, so I’m thinking of waiting for her two more days. If she’s still not out by then, I won’t wait!"

"Oh? She hasn’t emerged yet?" Xue An was surprised.

Yue Shifang smiled wryly and nodded, "That stubborn girl insists on breaking through her current realm before leaving cultivation, but it isn’t easy to break through!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly recalled something, glanced at Xue An, "Not everyone is like you, treating breakthroughs as simple tasks!"

"So now she’s stuck at the bottleneck, not advancing!"

Xue An pondered silently, then suddenly stood up, "Let’s go take a look!"

The two turned and headed from the garden pavilion to where Yue Qinghuan was cultivating.

This place was the rear mountain of the Yue Clan headquarters, beautifully scenic with abundant Spiritual Energy.

In the midst of this landscape was constructed a cottage.

The area around the cottage was covered by a barrier, specially for the Bing Family disciples to use for closed cultivation.

At this moment, Yue Qinghuan was training within the cottage.

But today, for some reason, she couldn’t calm her mind no matter what she did.

Every time she closed her eyes, Xue An’s image would appear in her mind.

This made her gnash her teeth.

It’s all because of that scoundrel!

If not for him, she’d probably have broken through by now!

Yue Qinghuan cursed Xue An twice in her heart, then resignedly closed her eyes to try entering a settled realm once more.

This time it went smoothly, quickly ridding herself of distracting thoughts, entering a deep state of Settled Realm.

But right then, a soft whisper suddenly came to her ears.

"Qing Huan!"

This voice instantly shook Yue Qinghuan’s spirit.

Because it was evidently Xue An’s voice, filled with affection.

Though instinctively sensing something amiss, Yue Qinghuan’s rationality struggled only for a moment, then thoroughly succumbed.

"Xue An, it’s really you!" Yue Qinghuan opened her eyes, looking with infinite surprise at the young man smiling at her.

"Yes, it’s me! I’ve returned, especially for you!" Xue An spoke tearfully, eyes full of deep affection.

Yue Qinghuan’s heart was enchanted by these words.

But she hadn’t noticed, the Xue An before her had no shadow beneath his feet.
