Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2366: Chapter 2367: The Three-Year Pact

Yue Shifang found it a bit amusing, ”Are you using the pretext of making tea to teach me a lesson?”

”Of course not, I’m just speaking from the heart!” Xue An said with a smile.

Yue Shifang sighed lightly, ”Actually, there’s no need to beat around the bush to tell me what you think. You can just tell me directly.”

Xue An remained silent, gently sipping his tea, as if the teacup in front of him was the most delightful thing in the world.

After a long time, Yue Shifang finally felt a bit helpless.

”I’m genuinely curious, my sister is so beautiful and has such extraordinary talent, are you really not interested at all?”

Xue An shook his head, ”No!”

If someone else had said this, Yue Shifang surely wouldn’t believe it.

But since it came from Xue An’s mouth, Yue Shifang had no choice but to believe it.

Because he had refused his sister’s affections right in front of him.

”Sometimes I really wonder how your heart works, to be so ruthless! You must know how proud my sister is, and yet she was willing to accept the fact that you are already married because of you, but you refused her without hesitation, this...”

Yue Shifang couldn’t find words to describe Xue An.

”No need to look, the reason I’m so heartless is that I already have someone I love. Since my heart belongs to another, why should I get involved in worldly affairs?”

”So, I’m sorry!” Xue An said softly.

Yue Shifang fell silent, and after a long time, he let out a deep sigh, ”No need to apologize, you haven’t done anything wrong to me, nor to my sister, she just fell in love with someone she shouldn’t have!”

”Just like you and Commander-in-Chief Guan Nan?” Xue An blinked as he spoke.

This sentence successfully stifled the rest of Yue Shifang’s sigh.

He glared at Xue An fiercely, ”I kind of understand Cha Wenliang’s evaluation of you!”

”Oh? What evaluation?”

”He said sometimes you are admirable, but other times you are so detestable!”

”Haha, thanks for the compliment!” Xue An raised his cup, motioning to Yue Shifang opposite him.

Yue Shifang also raised his tea cup, the two clinked and then drank it all in one go.

”Did you meet him?” Xue An put down the tea cup and said calmly.

”Yes!”

”He sure talks fast!”

”You can’t blame him, after all, something as major as the Pharmacists’ Alliance gathering, I have no reason not to know!”

Yue Shifang smiled at Xue An as he spoke.

”To be honest, his plan was quite clever, having you accompany him! This way, not only would he have an extra bodyguard on the road, but once at the gathering, your understanding of souls would greatly help him shine in the Pharmacists’ Alliance.”

Xue An also smiled, ”I’m aware of all that, but I must see this lively scene for myself!”

”Well said, come, let’s have another cup!”

The two of them drank another cup of tea.

”Why did you come looking for me? Surely it’s not just to learn the tea ceremony and probe my intentions!” Xue An raised an eyebrow.

”It’s not that simple at all!”

Saying this, Yue Shifang’s expression turned serious.

”Xue An, what I told you at the Ancestral Hall is still valid. Are you at all interested in joining my Yue Clan?”

Xue An also seriously shook his head, ”I’m sorry, I can’t join!”

Although it was expected, a hint of disappointment flashed through Yue Shifang’s eyes, but he quickly said.

”Alright, since that’s the case, I won’t force you, but there’s one position I hope you won’t refuse!”

”Yue Clan’s Commander-in-Chief?”

”That’s right!”

”The key is that I’ve already decided to leave, how can I take on the role of Commander-in-Chief?” Xue An looked puzzled.

”That’s not important, what’s important is that as long as you remain Commander-in-Chief of my Yue Clan!”

Xue An looked deeply at Yue Shifang, ”What exactly are you planning? Just tell me now.”

”Indeed, nothing escapes you. Yes, I do have a matter, because three years from now will be the time for the once-in-a-century Bai Family Meeting, and due to internal conflict, the Bing Family has been absent for over a millennium...”

”So you want me to participate then? As the Yue Clan’s Commander-in-Chief?” Before Yue Shifang could finish, Xue An spoke directly.

”That’s right! Because this will be the first Bai Family Meeting since the Bing Family reunification, it’s extremely significant, so... tell me your answer.”

Xue An smiled, ”Why me? You know I’m just a mere Immortal Venerable right now, such cultivation level is insignificant among the powerhouses in the Bai Family!”

”Because your talent and potential are the greatest I’ve seen in my lifetime, and besides, there’s still three years until the Bai Family Meeting, which may not be much time for other cultivators!”

”But for you, it could very well mean a transformative change.”

”Hehe, do you have that much faith in me?” Xue An laughed softly.

”It’s not faith in you, but confidence in my own vision!”

Xue An restrained his smile and nodded solemnly to Yue Shifang.

”Alright, in that case, I promise you!”

Xue An left.

Before he left, he left the tea set on the table to Yue Shifang.

As the shadows of flowers swayed in the breeze, casting mottled moonlight over the courtyard, a graceful figure emerged from the shadows and slowly approached the table.

When the moonlight illuminated her face, it revealed a stunningly beautiful countenance, it was Yue Qinghuan.

She slowly sat down, her eyes faintly filled with tears.

Yue Shifang sighed deeply, ”Huan’er, you saw it too. It’s not that I don’t want to speak for you, but the key is that Xue An has already made up his mind, and such a person, once determined, is very hard to change!”

”Especially since this guy is extremely clever, I even suspect he knew you were hiding in the corner, so the initial words were probably intentionally spoken for you to hear!”

Yue Qinghuan said nothing, just softly caressed the teaware on the table with her eyes dazed.

After a long time, she nodded.

”Alright, I understand!”

”Sigh, Huan’er, I....” Yue Shifang was about to console his sister a little more.

But at that moment, Yue Qinghuan suddenly raised her eyes, looking at Yue Shifang with a brilliant gaze.

”Brother, I want to go into seclusion!”

Yue Shifang was stunned, ”What? Seclusion?”

”That’s right!” Yue Qinghuan nodded.

”I plan to enter seclusion for three years! I will reemerge when the Bai Family Meeting convenes!”

Yue Shifang: ”....”

Then he smiled bitterly, ”Why go to such lengths? You know seclusion is a rigorous challenge, a slight mistake can disrupt the Heart Realm, especially given your current state, it’s quite risky, so....”

”I don’t care about that, I must go into seclusion, and it must be a closed seclusion!”
