Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: Outsmarting Himself (1st Update)

Zhuge Banzang could only respond to Xue An’s words with a dumb smile, not daring to interject.

At this time, Zhuge Xuanqing returned the Divine Sense he had been safeguarding to Zhuge Banzang.

But since Zhuge Banzang was still very weak, it would take at least a few days for him to fully recover.

Xue An smiled, ”Let me help you!”

Speaking, Xue An’s eyes slightly narrowed, and a thought wrapped around Zhuge Banzang’s Divine Sense and directly entered his sea of consciousness.

Zhuge Banzang’s body shook violently, and he quickly closed his eyes, his aura fluctuating uncertainly.

A moment later.

A powerful aura rose from the top of Zhuge Banzang’s head.

When he opened his eyes again, the light in his eyes was brilliant, and his injuries had all healed.

Xue An nodded, ”You have a good foundation!”

”Thank you, senior, for your help!” Zhuge Banzang said gratefully.

Xue An dismissed it with a smile, ”Let’s go! There are many things still to be done outside!”

When Xue An led the Zhuge siblings out across the floating bridge and appeared before everyone, the whole place stirred.

”It really is Zhuge Banzang!”

”God, no wonder he hasn’t appeared for over a decade, he has been imprisoned here all along!”

Everyone was astonished.

The Chess Saint had long been dead, and the one issuing orders in his place was the chess slave, Huo Geng, who had betrayed his master.

The genius youth of the Zhuge Family, Zhuge Banzang, had been imprisoned in Canqi Mountain.

Every event that had occurred today was enough to overturn their pre-existing notions.

And those Tian Zhao chess masters now all hung their heads low, no longer displaying their usual arrogance.

Dai Yuexing had been staring at Xue An with shining eyes, but before she could act,

she saw Gu’E and Yuan Zhentian, who had earlier scorned Xue An, now running faster than anyone else, their faces full of fawning as they rushed forward.

”Gu Family of Tian Zhao respectfully welcomes Lord Xue!”

”Yuan Family respectfully welcomes the lord!”

The two men bowed deeply with utmost respect.

Xue An stopped, his expression indifferent as he looked at the two.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The bowed and submissive Gu’E and Yuan Zhentian’s expressions gradually stiffened, and cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.

It was a good half a cup of tea’s time before Xue An withdrew his gaze, his tone playful, ”Gu Family, Yuan Family...?”

”Yes, yes, yes!” Gu’E and Yuan Zhentian hurriedly nodded.

At that moment, Dai Yuexing stepped forward with a smile, ”My lord, the people from Gu and Yuan Families are all from the Tian Zhao Chess Academy that you defeated!”

Her words caused Gu’E and Yuan Zhentian to jump up like cats whose tails had been stepped on.

”Dai Yuexing, what do you mean? Isn’t your Dai Family the same? Moreover, your sister Dai Qinxin used to be the Great Elder of Tian Zhao Chess Academy!” Gu’E said fiercely.

”Yes! Family Head Dai, your words seem a bit inappropriate!” Yuan Zhentian added.

”Oh? Dai Qinxin is your sister?” Xue An slightly raised his eyebrows, looking at the woman who was all smiles.

Dai Yuexing confidently nodded, ”That’s right! The Dai Qinxin you killed was indeed my sister! However...”

Dai Yuexing glanced at Gu’E and Yuan Zhentian, disdainfully saying, ”Our Dai Family has never denied this fact, and in the path of chess, the stronger prevails. Dai Qinxin was deluded, and her death by your hand was her own fault; in fact, I should even thank you!”

”Thank me?”

Dai Yuexing nodded, then said quite naturally, ”As long as Dai Qinxin was alive, I could never securely hold the position of Family Head. Now that she’s gone, the Dai Family truly belongs to me!”

These words that should have only been kept in her heart were spoken very calmly by Dai Yuexing.

Everyone present was stunned.

Xue An, too, watched Dai Yuexing with great interest. ”By saying this, aren’t you afraid of making me angry?”

Dai Yuexing smiled slightly. ”You are a Divine Dragon above the Nine Heavens. Even if I didn’t mention it, you would surely be well aware of these matters!”

These seemingly flattering words, coming from this woman, felt genuinely heartfelt, convincing everyone of her sincerity.

Gu’E and Yuan Zhentian’s expressions turned extremely ugly in an instant.

They had never imagined that this woman would use such a method to get close to this newly esteemed master of the game.

And it seemed to be working quite well.

Just as the two men exchanged glances, planning to set a trap for this detestable woman,

Dai Yuexing said indifferently, ”Unlike some, haughty at first and humble later! Am I right, gentlemen?”

Gu’E and Yuan Zhentian shuddered.

”Dai Yuexing, what do you mean?” Gu’E shouted fiercely.

Dai Yuexing smiled faintly. ”Nothing really, just that I happened to record some grandiose statements made by certain individuals earlier with my magical artifact!”

Saying this, Dai Yuexing gently rotated the ring on her finger.

A brilliance emerged from the ring, casting a light into the air that formed a water curtain.

An image soon appeared on the water curtain.

It was Gu’E and Yuan Zhentian conversing.

”Is this the Xue fellow? He looks utterly immature!”

”I knew at one glance he couldn’t win, now he’s bound to die!”

...

These words resonated throughout the gathering.

With each phrase spoken, Gu’E and Yuan Zhentian’s faces grew paler, turning ashen.

Moments later, the light screen dissipated.

Dai Yuexing, smiling at the two men, said, ”Gentlemen, how do you plan to explain this?”

”Dai Yuexing, you vile woman, setting me up like this! I will kill you!” Gu’E roared and charged at her.

But he was quick, Dai Yuexing was quicker.

Before he could reach her, she raised her hand and slapped him, sending him flying.

Then, hands on her hips, she said coldly, ”Gu’E, did you really think you could beat me? Honestly, I have been tolerating you for a long time!”

Everyone was shocked.

And Gu’E, sitting on the ground with half of his face swollen, looked at Dai Yuexing in disbelief.

”You... you...”

”What ’you?’ Acting all high and mighty all the time. If I weren’t concealing my power, do you think I wouldn’t have killed you long ago?”

Dai Yuexing said, turning towards Yuan Zhentian, ”And you, what about you? Planning to stab me in the back again?”

Yuan Zhentian stepped back in terror, as if seeing a viper.

Then Dai Yuexing brushed back some hair beside her ear, and turned a charming smile towards Xue An.

”Sir, do you find this satisfactory?”

Throughout, Xue An showed no expression, merely watching quietly.

Only when Dai Yuexing addressed him did he lift his gaze towards her.

Dai Yuexing’s smile remained, but a trace of fear flickered deep in her eyes.

After a heart-thumping silence, Xue An said indifferently, ”You are very clever!”

Dai Yuexing silently breathed a sigh of relief, ready to respond with a laugh, but the next words from Xue An made her shudder in place.

”But the flaw is... you are too clever for your own good!”
