Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2495: Chapter 2496: Walking in White at Night

After speaking, Yue Qinghuan chuckled softly and went to chase after Lei Rong.

Xue An was slightly stunned, then immediately smiled, "You guys wait outside for a moment!"

He then turned and walked into the small courtyard.

At this moment, Yangjian was still sitting under the tree in the courtyard, and he didn’t even lift his head upon hearing the footsteps.

"Did you go after Miss Lei?"

"A friend of mine went, don’t worry, nothing will happen!" saying this, Xue An sat across from Yangjian, smiling as he spoke.

"Honestly, I knew you would refuse, but I didn’t expect you to refuse so straightforwardly!"

Yangjian raised his head, "Are you mocking me or ridiculing me?"

"Neither, I just wanted to express my admiration, after all... the hardest thing to bear is a beauty’s favor!"

"What you told me last night about the Mysterious Lady moved me greatly. Since she hasn’t wronged me all these years, naturally, I can’t wrong her."

"As for Miss Lei..." Yangjian’s eyes showed a hint of desolation, "Even she hasn’t figured out whether her feelings for me are romantic or just a girl’s innocent admiration."

"So I definitely can’t accept it!"

Xue An nodded, "That’s also good, better a short pain than a long one!"

Then he changed the subject, "Now that you and I are together, I plan to act tonight, while you stay behind and guard the area, understand?"

"Act? How do you plan to act?" Yangjian was startled and immediately asked.

"I plan to infiltrate the City Lord’s Mansion, and use the Array there to probe the entire Yunxiao City, then identify the hidden evil among us!" Xue An said.

His tone was as casual as if he were talking about something trivial.

It must be noted that Yunxiao City has many restrictions, even Xue An’s Divine Sense can’t move freely, so the only way to probe the entire city is through the Array beneath the City Lord’s Mansion.

Yangjian’s expression changed drastically, "How can that be feasible? The City Lord of Yunxiao City is renowned within the Yin and Yang Clan, Lord Yuehua. This is too risky, I disagree."

"I have my sense, and with my current strength, as long as I sneak in, no one will notice!"

"It’s still too risky, as Lord Yuehua is extremely formidable and has been here for many years, the City Lord’s Mansion is like a fortress, how can it be easily infiltrated?" Yangjian said with a frown.

"Rest assured, I wouldn’t attempt this without a plan, and as for Lord Yuehua..."

Xue An’s expression turned cold, "I know him well enough, if he does find out, then I have a score to settle with him!"

Seeing Xue An’s expression, Yangjian knew it was futile to say more, so he nodded.

"Alright! But be extra careful!"

"Of course, I understand. You’ll stay here in the teahouse and guard, if I haven’t returned by dawn, immediately take everyone and leave, don’t delay, understood?" Xue An said seriously.

Yangjian’s demeanor also became serious, nodding in agreement, "Understood!"

When Xue An got up to leave the small courtyard, he found Yue Qinghuan had leisurely returned at the door.

"What about Miss Lei?"

"I found an inn for her, let her calm down, it’s best for her to not see Young Master Yang until she moves on."

"Hmm, that’s good!"

Yue Qinghuan looked at Xue An with a smile, "Now let’s talk about us, I just lost that bet, so I’ll do whatever you say, go ahead and speak!"

For a young maiden so charming to say to a man that she’d do anything he wants, it’s inherently tempting.

At least Xue An seemed taken aback, looking quite surprised at Yue Qinghuan.

Yue Qinghuan’s cheeks flushed, "What are you looking at, hurry and say it, or if I change my mind, you won’t have another chance!"

She then lowered her head, quietly waiting.

Just then, she heard footsteps, it was apparent Xue An was walking her way.

Yue Qinghuan’s heart thumped wildly.

Her heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness.

At the same time, Xue An stopped his steps, standing before Yue Qinghuan.

Even without looking up, Yue Qinghuan could smell the faint scent of grass drifting from him.

Why... why is he just standing there?

Could it be...

Yue Qinghuan’s face blushed even more, her whole body slightly trembling with excitement.

But just as she was filled with anticipation, she heard Xue An chuckle and say, "In that case, I won’t be polite!"

"Yes... yes!" Yue Qinghuan responded firmly, twisting the corner of her garment, already prepared.

But the next second, what Xue An said made all her anticipation dissipate.

"Tonight I have something to do outside, stay here in the teahouse and protect Yangjian, we’ll talk about the rest when I get back, is that okay?"

Yue Qinghuan instantly lifted her head, meeting Xue An’s playful gaze.

Then she felt the blush on her cheeks quickly fade, replaced by an empty sense of loss.

"That’s it?"

"What else did you expect?" Xue An asked in return.

Yue Qinghuan tried to hide the disappointment in her eyes, then blurted out, "I thought you’d say something more, but fine, I’ll do it! But can you tell me what you’re planning to do tonight?"

"Well... you’ll find out in due time!"

"Hmph, if you don’t want to say, then forget it, like I care, you’re being all mysterious, can’t be up to any good!" Yue Qinghuan said indignantly.

Xue An chuckled and didn’t respond to her teasing, turning to leave.

"Hey!" Yue Qinghuan called out from behind.

"Something else?" Xue An didn’t look back.

"No matter what you’re going to do tonight, stay safe, I don’t want to have to collect your corpse!" Yue Qinghuan called out.

"Don’t worry, even if you die, I won’t!"

With that, Xue An strode away.

Once he left, Yue Qinghuan’s eyes brimmed with tears, which she wiped away forcefully.

"Damn, I was trying to set a trap for you, but ended up selling myself out instead, what a cunning fellow! Pah, even got dust in my eyes, just my luck."

Time flew by, and soon it was night.

The entire Yunxiao City was brilliantly illuminated, filled with singing and dancing.

Yet near the City Lord’s Mansion, it was tranquil.

Surrounding the mansion, eight tall watchtowers stood like sentinels in the night, deterring all ill-intentions.

Since the prominent families settled in Yunxiao City, ambitions and snooping have never ceased.

But after leaving many bodies with no success, no one dared to disrespect the imposing City Lord’s Mansion.

Yet under tonight’s sky, a white figure appeared not far from the mansion.

Gazing at the eight watchtowers, Xue An smiled and then stepped forward, showing no intention of concealing his presence.

His white clothes were especially conspicuous as the night breeze blew.

The so-called walking in white at night, nothing more than this.
