Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025: Xue An’s Bitter Smile (Second Update)

Zhuo Yangyang turned around and flashed an apologetic smile at Xue An, ”Lord Xue, I must leave for a moment. Uncle Zhuo will arrange your accommodation!”

Xue An had been standing aside, watching coldly from the beginning to the end, and merely nodded noncommittally even after hearing Zhuo Yangyang’s words.

Zhuo Yangyang hurried off.

The old steward watched Xue An, who stood in the courtyard with a calm expression, and couldn’t help but feel astounded.

As the chief steward of the Zhuo Family, he had naturally come into contact with many prominent figures.

He had even once caught a distant glimpse of the City Lord of the Cursed City, the cursed empress herself.

But regardless of the stature of these figures, their auras were always traceable.

However, facing this young man, the chief steward found himself confronting what seemed like an unfathomably deep ocean, profound enough to send shivers through one’s heart.

This feeling forced the steward to lower his gaze and speak respectfully, ”My lord, please follow me!”

Saying so, he led the way in person, guiding Xue An to an adjacent mansion.

This mansion was not only much more luxurious than Zhuo Yangyang’s, but it also came with four beautiful serving maids.

”Lord, if you need anything, just command us at any time!”

Xue An smiled but didn’t utter a word.

The chief steward bowed out and didn’t take a long breath until he was out of Xue An’s sight, then realized that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

That calm and noble temperament, that profound and deep aura, had deeply shocked the steward.

Just who was this young man?

After some contemplation, the steward turned around with a frosty face and called out, ”Someone!”

In the blink of an eye, several house servants appeared, ”What are your orders, Steward?”

”Send the word down: Revoke the cultivation level from the matron in charge of this section of the mansion, then expel her from the estate immediately, and issue a declaration banning her forever!”

”Yes!” the house servants responded and quietly withdrew.

Moments later, a woman’s heart-wrenching cries for mercy could be heard in the distance.

”No... Chief Steward, I know my mistake! Please don’t cast me out ahhhhh...”

The screams stopped abruptly, followed by a sight of a house servant dragging a bloodied matron out the door like dragging a dead dog.

A deep trail of blood marked the floor where she passed.

The serving maids and slave girls en route stood aside, their faces turn pale and their eyes filled with fear and horror.

The steward swept a stern gaze over these servants and said in a heavy voice, ”I don’t care which miss or young master is backing you, but a master is a master and a servant is a servant. If anyone intends to use their petty tricks to show disrespect or flaunt their status to the master, this will be your end!”

”Yes!” Many of the housemaids and serving girls who usually showed little respect for Zhuo Yangyang were visibly shaken, their faces turning to expressions of alarm as they bowed their heads.

Then, the steward turned around and took a glance at the small courtyard, nodding slightly before striding away.

Meanwhile, a faint smile emerged on the lips of Xue An inside the house.

”He’s quite a smart one.”

At that moment, the four maids came in with kettles, teacups, and some pastries.

”Lord, would you care for some tea?”

”Put it there.”

The four maids obediently placed their items on the table but did not leave.

Xue An waved his hand without looking up, ”You may leave, I don’t require your service here!”

The maids paused, then the head maid spoke hesitantly, ”My lord, did we not serve satisfactorily in some way?”

Xue An was briefly stunned, then shook his head with a light laugh, ”Of course not. I only wish for some solitude. I’ll call for you when I need your service!”

However, the maids dared not leave, exchanging glances before the head maid stepped forward with a quiet voice, ”If you don’t disdain our company, my lord, we can serve you right now!”

Just as Xue An was taking a sip of tea, he sprayed it out of his mouth upon hearing this.

The four maids hurriedly knelt, panicked, ”Lord, we’re sorry!”

Xue An shook his head with mixed amusement and helplessness, ”Alright, rise. It’s not your fault.”

But the four maids remained pale and trembling, not daring to stand.

With no other choice, Xue An adopted a serious tone and commanded, ”I told you to rise, did you not hear me?”

Only then did the maids shakily get to their feet.

Afterward, Xue An gestured, ”I truly don’t need your attendance. Go rest. If I need you, I’ll call. And don’t worry about any repercussions for this!”

Once the maids understood Xue An’s intention, they looked at each other before quietly saying, ”Then we will take our leave.”

”Go ahead.”

With that, the four maids left the room with all due respect.

Once outside, they revealed a hint of disappointment.

”I thought with such a handsome and extraordinary lord, the four of us sisters might have a chance to escape this life of hardship! Turns out, he didn’t even give us a second glance!” one of the maids sighed.

”But the steward made it clear to take good care of this lord. Is it really okay to be sent away like this?”

”What choice do we have? He already said he doesn’t need us.”

The four maids continued their quiet discussion as they walked away.

Of course, Xue An had overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but give a wry smile before opening the Magic Treasures Pavilion.

An Yan stepped out from within and said in a strange tone, ”Lord, do you require our service?”

With a helpless chuckle, Xue An replied, ”Yan’er, stop joking!”

”Who’s joking! Tsk tsk, four beautiful maids, who knows whether someone’s heart might waver!” An Yan pouted.

But Xue An didn’t respond; instead, he sized up An Yan.

”What are you looking at?” asked An Yan.

”I’m wondering how you haven’t put on weight, yet your jealousy seems to be growing!” he replied.

”Pah! Smooth talker. Tell me, if I weren’t here just now, would you have happily accepted?” An Yan retorted with a spit.

Xue An nodded, ”Quite possibly!”

”You scoundrel...” Fuming, An Yan rushed forward to punch Xue An a couple of times but ended up laughing first.

Because An Yan couldn’t rest easy inside the Magic Treasures Pavilion, Xue An had linked a strand of his Divine Sense with An Yan before entering the Divine Realm.

Thus, everything along the way, she could see as well.

That was the reason Xue An kept giving wry smiles when facing the four maids.

For he knew An Yan was watching from within the Magic Treasures Pavilion.
