Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 596: Chapter 596: The Banquet of the Puppet Immortal Sect (Third Update)

But contrary to everyone’s expectations, the following days were unexpectedly calm, with no signs of retaliation whatsoever.

This left many who were ready to mock in surprise and doubt.

Could it be that Lu Cailan had suddenly changed her nature?

Otherwise, why hadn’t she taken any action up to this point?

Even Liu KekKe was quite astonished by this.

Logically speaking, having suffered such a huge loss, Lu Cailan should have been eager to stir up trouble and have the Second Elder deal with her upon returning.

But there had been no movement this time, which truly defied common sense.

Only Xue An remained unfazed, spending his days leisurely drinking tea in his residence or strolling around the nearby area with great interest.

Many Inner Sect Disciples knew that he was the one who had slapped Lu Cailan away with two palms that day, and thus they all regarded him with faces full of respect.

It was well known that Lu Cailan had a poor reputation within the Puppet Immortal Sect; it was only because her master held real power and had a high cultivation level that no one dared to provoke her.

However, this did not stop many from detesting her in secret.

Xue An’s beating that day had, invisibly, allowed many to release their pent-up anger, so wherever he went, people would sneakily greet him.

And there were also those who kindly advised him to leave the place as soon as possible.

After all, no one knew what sort of scheme the usually tyrannical Second Elder was concocting by suddenly remaining silent.

Xue An merely smiled slightly at this and paid it no mind.

One day, Xue An was making tea and boiling wine beneath the gallery.

Liu KekKe, Lian Yunting, and Lian Yunluo sat at the lower end, admiring Xue An’s skillful and heartfelt tea-making technique.

Once the tea was ready, a refreshing aroma filled the air, delightfully pleasing to the senses.

Xue An poured three cups.

Liu KekKe and the others took them, and after a sip, their eyes lit up.

“So fragrant!”

“Master’s tea artistry is amazing!”

Xue An smiled slightly and poured himself a cup of the freshly heated wine, savoring it slowly.

This wine was the Puppet Immortal Sect’s own reserve, known for its exceptionally mellow taste.

Just then, a paper Immortal Crane flew in, circled the group once, and landed in Liu KekKe’s hand.

Liu KekKe was momentarily taken aback before her expression turned solemn, “This is a message-sending Immortal Crane paper used by the Sect for conveying messages!”

After saying so, she unfolded the letter.

Once she finished reading it, Liu KekKe’s expression gradually darkened.

“Sister Liu, what’s wrong?” asked Lian Yunluo.

Liu KekKe took a deep breath and said with a wry smile, “It’s a message from the Second Elder, informing us that in three days, the Sect will host a grand banquet attended by skilled practitioners from friendly factions, and I, as a True Disciple, am required to attend!”

“At the same time… the letter specifically emphasizes that I bring everyone to this banquet!”

After speaking, Liu KekKe appeared hesitant and uncertain, “Senior, what should we do?”

Xue An chuckled and then filled a cup with more wine, murmuring indifferently, “Since an invitation has been extended, we naturally should go take in the excitement! Otherwise, wouldn’t we be letting down the kind intentions of your Second Elder?”

And atop that mountain where clouds and mist lingered all year round, several majestic buildings stood tall.

Apart from the hundred-zhang tall, slender black tower in the center, the others were the residences of the Puppet Immortal Sect Leader and the elders.

At this moment.

In a resplendent golden hall, Lu Cailan looked eagerly at the middle-aged man seated at the main seat with an air of impatience.

At this moment, not only had the wounds on her face completely healed, but even the teeth that had been knocked out had regrown, indicating that some kind of Spirit Pill or secret medicine had been used.

“Master, must we really wait three days before we take action?”

The middle-aged man had stern features and an imposing demeanor, clearly someone accustomed to being in a position of power. However, the occasional flash of silvery evil light in his eyes made his aura somewhat sleazy.

This was the Second Elder, Wei Chi Xing, the de facto ruler of the Puppet Immortal Sect for over twenty years.

Upon hearing this, Wei Chi Xing chuckled, “Good disciple, there’s no rush for revenge. Let them live for three more days!”

Lu Cailan ground her teeth in anger and said, “Master, I can’t wait even a moment longer! I just want to skin that vixen Liu KeKe alive and then cut the Hua Clan man who struck me into pieces to quell the hatred in my heart.”

Wei Chi Xing, noncommittal, extended his hand and pointed at Lu Cailan, “Come closer to your master, good disciple. Let me see if your injuries have healed properly!”

Lu Cailan immediately put on a flattering smile and sashayed over.

“Good disciple, you’re growing more radiant by the day!”

Lu Cailan responded with a coquettish smile, “It’s all thanks to master’s efforts. Without the Spiritual Medicine you gave me, I couldn’t have recovered so quickly!”

The scene then became obscured, until fifteen minutes later.

Wei Chi Xing then said contentedly, “Silly disciple, do you know why I didn’t take you to seek revenge immediately, but instead chose to wait for the banquet three days later?”

“I don’t know!”

“Hehe, although Liu KeKe is not favored by the Sect Leader, she is still a True Disciple! If we go too far, it will definitely provoke public outrage!”

“The Sect Leader is coming out of seclusion to host a banquet to welcome martial experts from all over. It’s the perfect opportunity to extend an invitation to Liu KeKe as well. During the banquet, you can challenge her in front of all the martial experts. Even if you kill her then, the Sect Leader and the others won’t be able to object.”

Upon hearing Wei Chi Xing’s explanation, Lu Cailan suddenly saw the light, then spoke with a hint of frustration.

“But with my strength, I definitely can’t win against Liu KeKe in a duel!”

“Hehe, of course you can’t on your own! But isn’t that what your master is for?” As he spoke, Wei Chi Xing pulled out a round, rolling bead.

“This is a puppet I have recently refined. It’s incredibly sturdy and immensely powerful! It’s more than a match for that shoddy one Liu KeKe has!”

Lu Cailan’s eyes lit up with excitement, and she kissed Wei Chi Xing, “Thank you, Master!”

As she said this, she reached out to take it.

Wei Chi Xing chuckled and closed his hand again.

“Master, you…”

“You want to take it just like that?” Wei Chi Xing teased with a wink.

Lu Cailan’s face reddened slightly, and then she smiled sweetly, “Master, you’re so naughty!”

Ultimately, Lu Cailan obtained the new puppet as she had wished, and began to train relentlessly, without rest.

By the evening of the next day, she had refined the puppet to respond as naturally as her own limb, filling her with renewed confidence.

Hehe, Liu KeKe, and that detestable Hua Clan man, this time, I’ll show you my might! Lu Cailan thought, filled with murderous intent.

And the third day finally arrived.

From morning, the sky was constantly streaked with flying lights.

The entire Puppet Immortal Sect was cleaned until it was as good as new, and even the perennial clouds that surrounded the mountain peak parted to open a pathway.

At this time, Liu KeKe had also made her preparations, “Senior, shall we set off?”

Xue An looked up at the roaring flying lights in the sky and smiled slightly.

“Let’s set off!”
