Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 973: 973

Under Xue An’s gaze,

Chen Xiangshang felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar, his very blood about to freeze.

Terror filled his heart.

Was this the authority of an Immortal?

Yet, how could he, who cherished wealth as if it were his life, willingly let go of the prize within his grasp? Thus, he forced himself to speak calmly, ”Mr. Xue, as a mighty savior of the entire world, we naturally follow your words!”

”However, I feel there is something improper about this matter!”

”Oh? What’s improper?” Xue An asked indifferently.

”You must understand that although my sister Ru Shi is immensely talented, she is after all just a woman. Of course! I do not mean to belittle women, but since she is a woman, she will have to marry, won’t she? ”

”And if sister Ru Shi becomes the Chen Family Head, and then marries, won’t the Chen Family have its surname changed?”

”Therefore, I believe this matter is utterly inappropriate!”

Chen Xiangshang was somewhat faltering when he first started speaking, but as he continued, his words flowed more smoothly.

Xue An just listened quietly until he finished, then smiled faintly, ”It seems to make some sense, but may I know who you are?”

Chen Xiangshang smiled slightly, ”My name is Chen Xiangshang. The old master Chen is my second uncle, and I am also sister Ru Shi’s cousin!”

Hearing his words, Chen Rushi, who was beside him, could not repress a cold snort, ”Heh, indeed, my beloved cousin!”

Her words were filled with bone-chilling coldness.

Chen Xiangshang remained composed, ”Sister Ru Shi, I am doing this for your own good!”

”For my good? Chen Xiangshang, what kind of wishful thinking are you indulging in? Do you really think I’m unaware?” The fire in Chen Rushi’s eyes looked ready to burst forth; she could hardly wait to rush up and bite the man.

”You...” Chen Xiangshang was about to speak.

Xue An raised a hand, his tone indifferent, ”Enough, Ru Shi!”

”Present!”

”From now on, you will be the Chen Family Head!”

Chen Rushi was stunned.

The entire audience also gasped in surprise.

Chen Xiangshang couldn’t believe his ears, ”Mr. Xue, didn’t you just ask if anyone had any objections? I certainly...”

Xue An glanced at him coldly, ”I did ask for opinions, but did I say I would accept them?”

His words nearly caused Chen Xiangshang to spit blood, but he still managed to steady himself and spoke gravely, ”Mr. Xue, though I respect you greatly! Doing this might not satisfy the masses!”

”Oh?”

Chen Xiangshang said coldly, ”You should know that the choice of Family Head is an internal matter of the Chen Family. Even though your cultivation level is earth-shattering, you can’t just interfere with the Chen Family’s affairs! After all, this does not concern you!”

Upon saying this,

a silence fell over the venue.

All eyes turned to Xue An.

Xue An touched his chin, pondered for a moment, then began to smile.

”It seems... there is indeed some truth to that!”

Chen Xiangshang’s heart leapt.

Chen Rushi, however, felt her heart sink.

But just as a smug expression began to spread across Chen Xiangshang’s face,

Xue An spoke lightly, ”Ru Shi, kneel down!”

Chen Rushi was taken aback, but obediently knelt before Xue An.

The whole venue buzzed with confusion.

”What does Mr. Xue intend to do?”

”I have no idea, just watch!”

Then Xue An smiled at Chen Xiangshang, ”Though I hardly need to bother with your nonsensical reasoning, since you have raised it, I shall convince you thoroughly!”

With that, Xue An turned to Chen Rushi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, ”Ru Shi, would you like to take me as your master?”

Boom!

This statement was like a heavy bomb, jolting everyone present.

What? Mr. Xue actually plans to take this Chen Rushi as his disciple?

This was precisely the opportunity countless people dreamed of!

Knowing Xue An’s current status and position, the queue of people wanting to become his apprentice could circle the Earth over ten times.

In an instant, countless pairs of envious eyes turned red.

And Chen Rushi herself was so shaken that it wasn’t until An Yan softly called out, ”Ru Shi!”

That she snapped back to reality and without hesitation knelt to the ground, ”Master above, your disciple Ru Shi, greets you, Master!”

As she spoke these words, Chen Rushi’s heart was naturally filled with boundless joy, but mingled with that joy was a touch of sorrow.

Because Chen Rushi understood that from then on, she would no longer have the chance to be close to Xue An.

But then Chen Rushi thought again.

To become his disciple was already a stroke of immense luck.

She... dared not hope for more.

Seeing Chen Rushi knocking her forehead to the ground, Xue An finally raised his head to look at the bewildered Chen Xiangshang and Chen Beilie among others, and spoke indifferently.

”You just said that I am an outsider and cannot intervene in the affairs of the Chen Family! Now that Chen Rushi has become my disciple, I, as her master, naturally have to take care of her affairs! Do you understand this principle?”

Chen Xiangshang’s face suddenly turned as pale as paper.

He had been puzzled.

It wasn’t until this moment that he realized why Xue An was doing this.

”I... I...” Chen Xiangshang, who was always eloquent, was now at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, Chen Beilie beside him was trembling so much he could barely stand.

Suddenly, he knelt on the ground with a thud, crying out, ”Mr. Xue, this matter was all orchestrated by my cousin Chen Xiangshang! Listen, I have evidence here!”

As he spoke, Chen Beilie pulled a recording pen from his pocket, and when it was turned on, Chen Xiangshang’s words could be heard coming from it.

”Once the funeral is over, find a man to dispose of this Chen Rushi. After that, all of the Chen Family’s property will be mine!”

At these words,

The entire place was shaken.

The magnates who had come to pay their condolences were no fools. They had all seen the lay of the land and began to jump out one after another, pointing at Chen Xiangshang and cursing.

”Ambitious as a wolf, truly ambitious as a wolf!”

”That’s right, to be so ruthless to his own cousin and plotting to steal the family’s property, he truly dishonors Mr. Chen’s spirit in heaven!”

”Ptui! A heroic family like the Chen, you are simply unworthy of the Chen surname!”

Chen Xiangshang’s face was ashen, his heart filled with despair.

Because he knew, he was finished.

Even if Xue An did not kill him, he was already disgraced and there was no chance of a comeback.

But at that moment, Chen Beilie spoke obsequiously, ”Mr. Xue, Sister Rushi, this really has nothing to do with me! It was all Chen Xiangshang who forced me!”

These words reminded Chen Xiangshang, and his fiery rage ignited immediately, then he lunged forward, grabbed Chen Beilie by the neck, and roared with a ferocious expression.

”You despicable wretch, I’ll strangle you!”

Chen Beilie did not show weakness and started to resist.

The two cousins were soon fighting fiercely in front of the memorial hall.

Chen Rushi’s eyes showed a glimmer of desolation.

It was at this moment that Xue An casually waved his hand.

A streak of sword light directly pinned the two struggling men to the ground.

Chen Xiangshang and Chen Beilie looked up, wanting to say something, but how could mere mortals bear the might of the sword light? Both trembled and then died together.

Afterward, Xue An indifferently said, ”The hour is late, let’s send Mr. Chen off on his last journey!”
