Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2506: Chapter 2507: Scheming and Infighting

Though Xue An was smiling, his smile seemed like a devil’s whisper in the man’s eyes, sending chills down his spine and causing his heart to tremble slightly.

"Reporting to the Head of the Stronghold, I’ve eaten and drunk my fill, and rested comfortably, but staying in this small courtyard all day is indeed a bit boring."

"Exactly, this damned place has everything but excitement."

The crowd erupted into a cacophony.

The man deeply lowered his head, saying nothing.

Even though he was silent, Xue An showed no intention of letting him off.

"Second Stronghold Master, what do you think?"

The man’s body trembled, then he said in a deep voice, "Reporting to the Head of the Stronghold, I feel it’s all right!"

No doubt.

This man was none other than Tong Chengjin, the Second Master of Gale Stronghold.

As a powerful figure second only to Bao Huarong, Head of the Stronghold, Tong Chengjin held high prestige within Gale Stronghold, having a group of loyal followers under him, subtly posing a challenge to Bao Huarong.

Previously, Bao Huarong was well aware of this, although he always wanted to eliminate this person, he was unable to do so due to lacking power, hence he could only let it be.

But now that Xue An had eradicated Bao Huarong and taken his place, to utterly control this group of marauders, he naturally had to eliminate this uncertain factor.

Thus, upon hearing Tong Chengjin’s reply, Xue An smiled lightly.

"I also think it’s been a bit stifling in this small courtyard lately, how about we go out for a stroll at noon today, and take a look at the prosperity of Yunxiao City?"

"Great!"

"The Head of the Stronghold is wise!"

The crowd cheered loudly.

Tong Chengjin was also stunned, then looked at Xue An somewhat puzzled, a thought rising in his mind.

What does he intend to do?

Since arriving in Yunxiao City, Bao Huarong had been reclusive, rarely appearing in public.

Why the sudden change in temperament, wanting to go out for a stroll today?

Combined with the eerie and cold smile he just showed, Tong Chengjin couldn’t help but feel a touch of ominous intuition.

But things had come to this, he couldn’t stop it, so he had to nod.

"That’s also good, just a chance to get out and unwind."

Xue An smiled, then waved his large hand.

"Let’s go!"

A group of people grandly walked out of the small courtyard and onto the street.

Since they were all fierce and tough men, wherever they passed, chickens and dogs truly flew and jumped.

Many hurried to dodge to the side, fearing to provoke these grand masters.

The gang of marauders looked around excitedly, faces full of elation.

"Look, look, that little girl over there isn’t bad, those long and slender legs make one want to touch them."

"That one next to her is even better, her tender little face looks like it could be pinched to release water!"

These people recklessly commented on the women on the street, their crude and rude remarks making all those women extremely ashamed and indignant.

But they could only give them a harsh glare, then hurriedly fled.

This only drew more of their rampant laughter, making everyone on the street turn heads.

Xue An subtly furrowed his brow, this bunch really epitomized what it meant to be marauders.

Forget everything else, just their ability to stir up trouble is enough to astonish.

Yet Xue An patiently held back without saying anything, leading the people towards a restaurant.

No matter where, people need to eat.

And with many people eating, naturally there would be restaurants.

This was no exception in Yunxiao City.

With the Bai Family assembly about to be held, the whole Yunxiao City was bustling, hence the restaurant’s business was even more booming.

Like the restaurant before them, it was full of distinguished guests upstairs and downstairs, the rich aroma of the dishes could be smelled from afar.

Although they ate well inside the small courtyard recently, too much of even the best-tasting food can tire the palate.

Thus, upon smelling the various aromas, this gang of marauders couldn’t help but salivate.

"Head of the Stronghold, should we go in for a taste?"

"Yes, seeing this, the restaurant seems to have good flavors!"

The people started urging Xue An.

Xue An laughed, "All right, since we’ve arrived, let’s have a taste!"

With that, he stepped towards the restaurant.

A shop assistant had already noticed this group at the entrance, feeling bitter seeing them coming here.

Even a fool could see this group was no good, let alone the shop assistant known for reading people and situations.

But there was no choice, customers are customers, this shop assistant could only be extra cautious, quickly rushing forward.

"Gentlemen, I’m so sorry, the shop is full today, perhaps you could move to another restaurant?"

His words were extremely polite, but his reply was a loud slap.

The one who slapped was Tong Chengjin, the Second Master.

He said coldly, "Who are you to dare obstruct us? It’s an honor for the Head of the Stronghold to come to your place for a meal, hurry and prepare!"

The shop assistant, bleeding from the mouth and nose, didn’t even dare to wipe it, nodding and bowing profusely in apologies.

"Masters, it’s not that the shop doesn’t want to serve, but truly there are no seats left!"

Tong Chengjin glared, raising his hand again to hit.

At this moment, a calm voice sounded from behind.

"Enough, he’s just a shop assistant, why make things hard for him?"

With that, Xue An stepped forward, giving the shop assistant a gentle smile.

But with Bao Huarong’s build and appearance, even the gentlest smile seemed full of ominous energy.

At least the shop assistant couldn’t help but shiver.

"Don’t be afraid, we’re not bad people, just passing by and smelling the alluring aroma, so we thought to sample your craftsmanship."

"But... but indeed there are no seats available, all private rooms are occupied!" the shop assistant stammered.

"You wretched thing, still dare argue?" Tong Chengjin tried to scold again.

Xue An blocked his words with a subtle wave of his hand, then reached out for a Spirit Crystal.

"No private room is no problem, as long as there’s space for a few tables, this is for you, consider it compensation for that slap just now!"

The shop assistant shakily took the Spirit Crystal, realizing it wasn’t ordinary, feeling joy inside, then nodded at Xue An.

"If that’s the case, sir, please follow me, I’ll speak to the Shopkeeper to arrange a place for you!"

"Thank you very much!"

With that, Xue An followed the shop assistant into the restaurant, leaving the group standing dumbfounded.

"What’s the Head of the Stronghold up to? Why treat a mere shop assistant so courteously?"

"Who knows, whatever, let’s hurry in, I’m starving!"

The crowd rushed towards the restaurant.

Only Tong Chengjin stood in place, his face ashen.

He truly hadn’t expected Xue An to use this method to embarrass him.

In his view, the Head of the Stronghold’s actions were obviously not for some insignificant shop assistant but to publicly shame him.

This bastard... when did he become so cunning all of a sudden?
