Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1668: Chapter 1664: From This Day On, We’re Strangers! (4th Update)

"Your beloved father and brother, our great elders and brother in arms in those days, knew that we were being hunted down, yet they shut their doors and refused to even show their faces! As a result, my brother was gravely injured and quickly died after reaching the lower rank, all thanks to their doing! Tell me...".

Tears welled in Luo Lanting’s eyes, "Shouldn’t I thank them properly?".

These questions made Mai Lin’s face turn as white as paper. He hung his head low, tears dripping down heavily, but oddly there was a look of relief on his face.

Because all this time, he had been enduring the torment in his heart endlessly.

At this moment, hearing the scolding and angry words of his old friend’s sister actually brought him a trace of solace.

Mai Li, however, was struck as if by lightning and shakily asked Mai Chang, "Father, is what Luo Luo said true?".

Mai Chang nodded powerlessly.

Instantly, Mai Li felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

It was only now that she finally understood what had happened.

And finally understood why Luo Lanting had been so cold towards her when they met before.

After such an event, anyone would inevitably be filled with resentment.

Yet it was a fact that she found incredibly difficult to accept.

Because in her heart, her father and brother had always been heroic figures.

Now that image had suddenly collapsed.

How could she possibly accept this?

Xue An kept silent, watching quietly from the side with his arms crossed.

Yet his silent demeanor exerted considerable pressure on Mai Chang.

After all, he had clearly seen Luo Lanting approach Xue An, suggesting their relationship was not ordinary.

If not handled well...

The bodies of those three doomed fools were right there, not yet cold!

"Luo Luo, let Uncle explain...".

"Don’t give me that word, who do you think is your uncle?" Luo Lanting scolded sharply, brows furrowed in anger.

Mai Chang quickly shut his mouth.

At that moment, Mai Lin took a step forward, fell to his knees with a thud, and kowtowed ferociously to Luo Lanting.

The floor echoed with the sound of his head hitting it, but Luo Lanting only sneered coldly, unmoved.

Afterwards, Mai Lin lifted his head, his face calm, and said, "Luo Luo, don’t say any more, it’s my fault for failing you both, do what you will, I won’t utter a word!".

With that, Mai Lin resigned himself and closed his eyes.

"Brother..." Mai Li called out tearfully.

Luo Lanting laughed menacingly, "Heh, what is this? Trying to play the sympathy card? Do you really think I wouldn’t dare kill you?".

Mai Lin kept his eyes closed and did not speak.

"Mai Lin, do you know? When your father didn’t open the door, I actually didn’t care too much, after all, he is the Patriarch of the Mai Family, I wouldn’t expect him to intervene for my brother and me! But you are different! You and my brother had shared life-threatening bonds!".

At this point, Luo Lanting shouted sternly, "Do you remember what my brother did for you? He saved your life, yet you stood by so heartlessly, watching him be besieged, spitting blood, without daring to step out?".

This was the resentment that had built up in Luo Lanting’s heart for many years, and its release was naturally terrifying.

Mai Lin did not argue, still keeping his eyes shut with calm on his face.

Luo Lanting, seething with anger, drew the dagger she carried and was about to charge forward.

But at that moment, Mai Chang suddenly fell to his knees, crying out, "Miss Lanting, don’t act just yet!".

Luo Lanting paused, looking coldly at Mai Chang.

"What more do you have to say?".

Mai Chang sighed softly, "Miss Lanting, actually...".

"Enough, father, don’t say any more! This is my debt to the Luo siblings, it has nothing to do with you!" Mai Lin suddenly shouted.

Mai Chang shook his head, his expression sorrowful, "Miss Lanting, things are not as you think. Back then, when you siblings were hunted, Lin was about to go out and help, but I stopped him!".

Luo Lanting halted, her expression fluctuating.

Mai Chang continued, "It was I who strictly ordered him not to go out. Lin refused, and I even kneeled, saying I would die in front of him if he dared to step out. Under such circumstances, he was forced to stay indoors!".

"Why... why did you do that?" Luo Lanting asked softly.

Mai Chang sighed, "Miss Lanting, I don’t know if you understand the situation back then. At that time, the powerhouses from the Thirteenth Heaven had control over the situation, and they declared that no one was allowed to rescue you siblings!".

"Had our Mai Family made a move, we would have faced imminent destruction! For the lineage of the Mai Family, I had no choice!".

Saying this, Mai Chang looked at Luo Lanting with a calm face, "Thus, the real culprit is me. If you want to kill, then kill me! It’s the Mai Family’s debt to you siblings! Lin has nothing to do with it!".

Mai Lin remained slumped on the ground, crying bitterly.

All were silent.

Many present had witnessed the event back then, so naturally, they knew Mai Chang hadn’t lied.

Luo Lanting locked her gaze onto Mai Chang, "Fine! In that case, offer your life!".

She raised her hand, and the dagger flew out of her grasp.

Mai Chang did not dodge, waiting calmly.

But the dagger merely grazed his scalp, striking deep into the floor.

Mai Chang was stunned.

Meanwhile, Luo Lanting turned and left, "Enough, the debt between us is settled. From now on, we’re done! Never let me see you again!".

Mai Chang, Mai Lin, and Mai Li all watched in a daze as Luo Lanting’s figure receded.

Xue An merely smirked slightly and turned to leave as well.

The others of middle rank followed in a rush.

Seeing Xue An leave, Mai Chang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a sudden chill.

For he sensed that he might have missed something.

This meeting ended with the downfall of the three leaders and Luo Lanting’s return.

Yet a greater storm was brewing.

All who heard the news went silent.

For everyone understood, Luo Lanting’s sudden return was clearly not just to deal with the three leaders.

And the mysterious young man from the Human Clan, if anything, was even more unusual.

Could it be that the long-quiet Lost Paradise was about to face another upheaval?

This was in a hidden corner of the Thirteenth Heaven.

The dim room was filled with a light medicinal scent.

There were no lights, no sounds, as if everything were asleep.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and a woman walked in.

"Your Highness, we’ve just received news, Moli City has fallen, Qing Cheng and Lü Hong... both dead in battle!".

When she mentioned ’dead in battle’, the woman’s voice trembled slightly.

After a long while.

In the darkness, someone slowly turned around, revealing a deep and crimson glow that illuminated many things.

The light came from her eyes.

And under this mysterious glow, a face of stunning cold beauty was revealed.

Fan Mengxue!

Long time no see!
