Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1604: Chapter 1601: Unexpected (Third Update)

The entire audience fell silent instantly.

Everyone exchanged glances, seeing the shock and suspicion in each other’s eyes.

Zhuang Dian was particularly stunned, lowering his head deeply to hide the panic and unease in his eyes.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman asked in a deep voice, ”Sect Master, you are right; the only people who know where you went tonight are those in this room! But the question is, who is the traitor?”

Luo Lanting heard this and scanned the crowd with a steely gaze, and everyone she looked at met her eyes with grim expressions.

After a long while, Luo Lanting softly said, ”Indeed, who is the traitor?”

Zhuang Dian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately!

It seems she still doesn’t know the true situation.

But just then, Xue An, who had been standing to the side, suddenly stepped forward towards her.

At this, all eyes in the room focused on him.

Many people looked astonished, not knowing what this young man in white was about to do!

Just a moment ago, they had returned together.

But everyone had subconsciously ignored Xue An, some even thinking he was an expert recruited by Sect Master Luo Lanting from somewhere.

At this moment.

Xue An looked quietly at Zhuang Dian in front of him, who was trembling all over with her head bowed deeply, and asked calmly, ”What are you afraid of?”

”Huh?” Zhuang Dian was stunned and then lifted her head, pretending to be puzzled, and asked, ”Afraid? I’m not afraid at all!”

”Aren’t you? Then perhaps I saw it wrong!” Xue An smiled faintly.

But before Zhuang Dian could take a breath, Xue An suddenly said, ”But how did I notice that when you saw your Sect Master return, your face not only showed no joy but was full of disappointment instead?”

”No...no way! How could I be disappointed! You must be mistaken!” Zhuang Dian forced a smile and said.

”Really? So, did I mistake it again?” Xue An smiled faintly.

Zhuang Dian’s expression gradually darkened, and she said fiercely, although lacking in confidence, ”That’s right, you entirely saw it wrong! And who are you anyway? On what grounds are you questioning me?”

”This gentleman here is the one who saved me from Xing Luodao’s fatal trap. How about it? Do you have any questions?” Luo Lanting, who sometime unknowingly had walked to Xue An’s side, said coldly.

Roar!

The whole room stirred slightly.

No one expected that this young man in white was the one who rescued Luo Lanting.

Zhuang Dian’s heart grew increasingly frantic but still forced a calm smile, ”So he is the benefactor who rescued the Sect Master, I’m truly sorry, forgive me for my earlier rudeness!”

Xue An smiled slightly, ”No matter! But now you must answer me; what was that disappointment on your face about, or is it that you are the traitor who leaked the information?”

At these words, many people looked at Zhuang Dian with extremely unkind eyes.

Zhuang Dian’s face grew even paler, and she turned to look at Luo Lanting beside her, ”Sect Master, I have absolutely done nothing to betray you! I absolutely did not leak your whereabouts this time; you have to trust me....”

Luo Lanting remained calm, merely watching her silently, not speaking.

Seeing Luo Lanting’s reaction, Zhuang Dian’s heart sank gradually and in the end, she stomped her foot resentfully.

”Fine! Since none of you trust me, what’s the point of me staying here? I might as well leave! It saves me from your suspicious gazes!”

With that, she turned around, angrily about to leave.

But just then, a figure suddenly rushed up, blocking Zhuang Dian’s path.

Thud!

Before Zhuang Dian could speak.

This person stabbed her chest with a knife, and blood instantly gushed out, staining the ground beneath her feet.

Zhuang Dian’s mouth instantly gaped open, looking incredulously at the person before her.

The middle-aged woman looked at her with hatred on her face and said in a deep voice, ”Daring to betray The Flower of Extreme Evil and nearly endangering the Sect Master’s life, the crime shall surely be punished!”

Zhuang Dian’s mouth moved silently, seemingly wanting to say something.

But then, the middle-aged woman, with a look of utter disgust, raised her other hand and swung it fiercely.

Thud!

The dagger cut right through Zhuang Dian’s throat.

This dagger was clearly extraordinary; it cut through not only Zhuang Dian’s throat but also her soul.

Her eyes dimmed visibly, her throat making a few weak gurgling sounds, and eventually, she fell to the ground, ceasing to breathe.

The middle-aged woman spat harshly at the dead Zhuang Dian, ”Serves you right!”

Despite a life being lost.

Everyone in the room appeared relieved.

”Daring to betray The Flower of Extreme Evil, such a death is too lenient for her!”

”That’s right! Too lenient!”

Amid these cries, Luo Lanting stared at the corpse on the ground, her eyes glistening with some cryptic thoughts.

And just then, the middle-aged woman kicked Zhuang Dian’s corpse again, then bent down, using her clothing to wipe the blood clean from the dagger.

As she bent down to get busy, Xue An also walked forward, then squatted down, watching the scene with a cheerful smile, suddenly saying, ”Feels good to silence a witness, doesn’t it?”

At these words, many people were startled.

What did that mean?

Yet, the middle-aged woman didn’t flinch in the slightest; instead, she looked coldly at Xue An and retorted, ”Are you suspecting me?”

Xue An smiled, ”To be precise, I’m not suspecting you, but confirming it’s you!”

Roar!

This even changed Luo Lanting’s expression.

The middle-aged woman sneered at these words, ”Confirming it’s me? So, you believe the traitor who betrayed The Flower of Extreme Evil and leaked the Sect Master’s whereabouts is me?”

”Of course!” Xue An replied with a faint smile.

The middle-aged woman laughed as if she heard an amusing joke, raising her head to laugh heartily.

Xue An said nothing, just watched with a cheerful smile.

After a moment, the middle-aged woman abruptly stopped laughing, looking at Xue An with a face full of mockery, ”I have to admit, your joke is indeed funny, actually thinking I’m the traitor, do you even know...who I am?”

Xue An shook his head, ”I don’t know!”

The middle-aged woman stood up, raised her hand, and pointed to Luo Lanting, ”The Sect Master’s brother, the previous Sect Master, was always served by me. I watched both siblings grow up!”

Saying this, the middle-aged woman suddenly became emotional, shouting, ”And you believe I’m the traitor? Are you deliberately provoking me?”

The middle-aged woman’s words made many people nod quietly.

Indeed!

If anyone were the least likely to betray, it would be her!

After all, having been with the Luo siblings for so long, she was like family.

How could family betray?

But just as the middle-aged woman was passionately shouting, Xue An suddenly chuckled.

”Few are truly incurable of betrayal; you think you wouldn’t betray, perhaps only because the price isn’t right yet!”

”So, what do you think Xing Luodao could offer me that would make me betray?” the middle-aged woman scoffed mockingly.

”There are many conditions, but I think only one can truly move you! Like....” Xue An trailed off.

”Ha, like what?” the middle-aged woman sneered coldly.

”Like...returning to the upper city!” Xue An smiled and said.
