Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1035: Chapter 1035 The Storm Rises (3rd Update)

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was oppressively tense.

Many people even dared not lift their heads to glance at the high platform.

They knew very well that any movement now could provoke the wrath of Elder Madam Zhuo.

Following a silence that felt soul-crushing, Elder Madam Zhuo, who was still dazed from being slapped, finally regained her senses and let out a piercing scream.

”Go find out where this bitch and this fellow have gone; I’m going to tear them to pieces and make sure their souls never reincarnate!”

Someone quickly slipped away quietly.

Then Elder Madam Zhuo screamed, ”No one is to speak of today’s events; otherwise, I’ll send you to the grave with them!”

The venom in her voice chilled everyone to the core.

Soon, the unrelated people all left with various thoughts in their minds.

Once only the Zhuo Family’s legitimate branch remained in the banquet hall.

Elder Madam Zhuo exploded once again.

She furiously smashed the porcelain, and all the servants were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and dared not lift their heads.

After venting, someone, trembling, handed her some medicine for her injuries.

After Elder Madam Zhuo took the medicine, the wounds on her face visibly healed at an astonishing rate.

She soon looked as if nothing had happened.

Then she returned to her usual self and coldly sat back down in her original spot.

Zhuo Ya and the other members of the Zhuo Family’s legitimate branch all kept their heads down, silent.

After a moment,

Elder Madam Zhuo suddenly let out a burst of cold laughter.

The sound started softly but gradually grew louder until Elder Madam Zhuo was laughing uproariously.

Those who remained exchanged glances, each seeing confusion in the others’ eyes.

What was happening?

Had Elder Madam Zhuo been so agitated that she had lost her mind?

Just then,

The laughter abruptly stopped, and then they heard Elder Madam Zhuo say coldly, ”Though you are very powerful, you are still too young and naively believed in fate at the end, sparing me! Well, I will make you understand what happens when someone offends me and Tian Fu Pavilion!”

She then commanded in a stern voice, ”Bring Xu Bao’s body to Tian Fu Pavilion exactly as it is and tell them that whoever killed Xu Bao probably did it to seize the divine glyphs that are about to emerge!”

”Yes!” Someone quickly stepped forward to scoop up Xu Bao’s body from the floor, placing it on a stretcher and carrying it out.

”Zhuo Family!” Elder Madam Zhuo called out again.

Mrs. Zhuo hurriedly stepped forward, ”Elder Madam!”

”Take my card and visit the Empress at the City Lord’s Mansion. Tell her about what happened today and say that this young man’s background is unclear, likely hailing from another celestial domain!”

”Is that all? Should we also...” Mrs. Zhuo asked.

”No need; a powerful figure like the Empress will naturally understand what it means when a foreign force appears at such a delicate time!” Elder Madam Zhuo sneered.

”Yes!”

After everyone had left, Elder Madam Zhuo murmured with deep malice, ”Zhuo Yangyang, and you too! Just you wait, I’ll make you wish for death but be unable to achieve it!”

Meanwhile,

Xue An was leading Zhuo Yangyang back to their courtyard.

Of course, they could no longer stay here.

Zhuo Yangyang went back to her room and quickly packed her belongings into a small bundle, which she then carried on her back.

After so many years of diligent work, all that could be taken away was just a small bundle!

In the end, Zhuo Yangyang stood in front of the door, looked back at the courtyard where she had lived for many years, and then slowly squatted down and wept loudly.

Xue An did not try to stop her, just stood a short distance away watching quietly.

At this moment, the Zhuo Family’s butler hurried over, and when he saw Zhuo Yangyang with the small bundle on her back, he first froze and then gave a bitter smile.

”Yangyang!”

Zhuo Yangyang looked up at the butler, her voice choked with sobs, ”Uncle Zhuo! I... I must leave!”

The butler was silent for a while and then nodded, ”Leaving is for the best!”

He then turned his head and looked at Xue An with a complex expression.

As the chief steward of the Zhuo Mansion, he naturally knew everything that had happened in the banquet hall.

Although he knew the banquet would not end well, the butler never expected Xue An’s methods to be so vicious.

Not only did he kill Xu Bao from the Tian Fu Pavilion with a single palm strike, but he even slapped Elder Madam Zhuo more than a dozen times.

When he heard about it, the butler was startled.

Because what Xue An had done was like poking a huge hole in the sky.

He also understood that after such an event, Xue An and Zhuo Yangyang definitely could not stay at the Zhuo Family’s place.

That’s why he had hurried over as soon as he found a chance.

After a moment of silence, the butler bowed deeply to Xue An, ”My lord, thank you!”

Xue An smiled, ”You’re welcome. It was just a simple gesture! After all, as you said, ’The night is long, and beasts roam.’ So, I simply killed the beast!”

The butler gave a wry smile, then said solemnly, ”My lord, Miss Yangyang, now that Elder Madam Zhuo has already sent Xu Bao’s body back to Tian Fu Pavilion, this matter is clearly not going to end so simply, and the Cursed City will obviously not be safe!”

”So I think the best place for you now is the harbor dock!”

Xue An remained noncommittal.

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yangyang stopped crying, then wiped the tears from her face, ”Uncle Zhuo, are you speaking of Uncle Meng?”

The butler nodded, ”Not just him! Yangyang, you have operated at the harbor for over a decade, and you have both prestige and connections there; it is your stronghold! Remember, be very careful!”

Saying this, the butler gave Xue An a deep look and bowed, ”Please take care!”

Xue An nodded.

The butler left, as the atmosphere in the Zhuo Family had become fraught with anxiety, and he could not stay away for too long.

Xue An led Zhuo Yangyang straight out of the Zhuo Family’s gate, attracting countless sideways glances along the way.

Xue An did not seem to notice, even walking forward with a contented expression.

However, Zhuo Yangyang felt a multitude of emotions, unsure of what to feel.

Just as the butler had said, the moment they left the Zhuo Family estate, the situation around them started to tense up.

Xue An then led Zhuo Yangyang directly towards the harbor.

They had barely entered the area when Meng Lei, leading a group of men in a rush, collided head-on with them.

Upon seeing Zhuo Yangyang safe and sound, Meng Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

”Come with me quickly!”

Saying this, Meng Lei led Xue An and the others into the chaotic alleys of the harbor.

They eventually stopped in front of a very unremarkable two-story building.

When Meng Lei led them inside, there were a dozen sailors whom Zhuo Yangyang recognized.

”Uncle Meng, this...?” Zhuo Yangyang was somewhat surprised.

Meng Lei sighed, ”I heard about the Zhuo Family’s troubles very quickly, and I knew it wasn’t good, so I ordered this place to be readied and then prepared to come rescue you. But I didn’t expect that the lord had already escorted you out safely!”
