Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2233: Chapter 2234: The Most Poisonous Is a Woman’s Heart (Part 1)

Xue An knew very well that Zhu Zhesheng would never offer such a great opportunity to him for no reason; he must have an ulterior motive.

Indeed.

When Xue An asked, Zhu Zhesheng immediately knelt down, his face full of hatred, and said,

"My lord, I seek nothing else but one thing from you: to make the one who schemed against me pay a hundredfold and return to me what I lost!"

"And who is the person who set you up?"

Zhu Zhesheng raised his head, gritting his teeth, and said, "To tell you the truth, the one who set me up is none other than my unfaithful fiancée!"

"Fiancée?" Yue Qinghuan asked in surprise.

"That’s right!"

Then Zhu Zhesheng recounted the story with a face full of humiliation.

It turned out that back when Zhu Zhesheng’s elders were still alive, they had arranged a marriage for Zhu Zhesheng.

The other party was a wealthy family in the spirit stone business, who often dealt with the Zhu Family owning spirit mineral veins, so their relationship was very good.

At the time, both parties believed this marriage was a match made in heaven, because once the two got married, the families’ relationship would progress further.

At that time, with ownership of both the mineral veins and the business, they would be practically invincible.

Zhu Zhesheng naturally had no objections, as he had met his fiancée back then and found her not only beautiful but also elegant and captivating.

Unexpectedly, before the wedding could take place, the elders of the Zhu Family suddenly died one after another, leaving Zhu Zhesheng as the only surviving member in the blink of an eye.

Thus, the marriage was naturally postponed.

What moved Zhu Zhesheng at that time was that his fiancée did not leave him, but instead voluntarily helped him manage the aftermath.

As the two spent their days and nights together, they were like fire and tinder, an unstoppable force.

At that time, Zhu Zhesheng genuinely believed he had found his soulmate.

But little did he know, every step his fiancée took was with an ulterior motive.

Soon, under her intentional or unintentional temptation, Zhu Zhesheng developed a gambling addiction.

And eventually lost most of his wealth.

Even so, Zhu Zhesheng still did not realize, just thinking he was unlucky.

Later, his fiancée used a ruse to lead him to Linglong City, ultimately trapping him there, unable to extricate himself.

As Zhu Zhesheng recounted these passages, the hatred on his face was almost overflowing.

"To think I was so blind at that time, believing that vile woman truly cared for me, even letting her handle the mineral veins passed down from my ancestors... and in the end..."

"In the end, she sold the veins to her own family, didn’t she?" Xue An suddenly interjected.

Zhu Zhesheng was stunned, staring at Xue An, clearly not knowing how he had guessed.

Xue An sighed lightly, "Don’t you understand yet? This was a trap from the start! Even this so-called marriage agreement was just to let your guard down."

Zhu Zhesheng’s eyes gradually widened, clearly shocked by Xue An’s words.

"You... you mean to say..."

Xue An nodded, "That’s right, even your elders may have died at their hands!"

This statement was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Zhu Zhesheng frozen on the spot.

But at the same time, countless images flashed through his mind, and details that he hadn’t noticed before became suddenly clear at this moment.

Why was the marriage contract made in such haste...

Why did the other party seem to acquiesce so much...

Why did the healthy elders suddenly die shortly after the marriage contract was made...

All these incidents made him tremble all over, and then tears fell as he cried out in a hoarse voice.

"Such a vicious woman... to think she planned to ruin my family from the very beginning!"

By the end, Zhu Zhesheng was crying uncontrollably, his sobs filled with endless venom and resentment.

Xue An didn’t offer any words of comfort, just watching quietly.

The faces of Yue Qinghuan and the others also showed expressions of sympathy.

Because anyone would find it unacceptable upon realizing that the person who had caused them such misery was the fiancée they once trusted most.

It was only after a long while that Zhu Zhesheng gradually calmed down, then raised his head, his gaze hollow as he addressed Xue An.

"My lord, thank you for enlightening me; otherwise, I would still be in the dark. Looking back, it’s ridiculous! Ridiculous how I was played by that vile woman, yet unaware, even sharing a bed with the woman whose hands are stained with my elders’ blood..."

Saying this, Zhu Zhesheng spat out a mouthful of blood, his kneeling figure swaying unsteadily.

Just as Lü Yangyan intended to step forward, Xue An stopped him.

"Let him vent a little, it will actually make him feel better after spitting out that blood!"

Lü Yangyan then halted, looking at Zhu Zhesheng with great sympathy.

Such news could truly break any tough man.

At least for Zhu Zhesheng, who seemed to be crying and laughing, moaning,

"Zhai Zhuqing... you are truly ruthless... to ruin my family and leave me trapped. Do you think I’m dead by now? Unfortunately, heaven has eyes, and I made it out, hahahaha..."

Zhu Zhesheng laughed maniacally, his eyes showing signs of madness, clearly on the brink of collapse.

At this moment, Xue An spoke solemnly, "Zhu Zhesheng, does that woman also know about the map you possess?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhesheng trembled violently, then immediately regained clarity, his eyes filled with deep regret.

"Yes! I casually mentioned it once while in bed, and at that time she didn’t seem to react. But thinking back now, the reason The Drunken Life Pavilion knew I had the map and tortured me must be because she revealed it."

Xue An sighed faintly, "Then do you know why these people stopped bothering you afterward?"

"Why? Could it be..."

Xue An nodded, "If I’m not mistaken, they have likely found another way to the Immortal Sect’s treasure trove, otherwise, do you think they’d let such a catch slip away?"

Zhu Zhesheng instantly turned pale, "Impossible... apart from this map, there’s no other way to find the route..."

Despite saying so, Zhu Zhesheng’s voice grew weaker, clearly aware that Xue An’s speculation had a strong possibility of being correct.

Yue Qinghuan and the others’ expressions changed drastically.

"If that’s the case, has the Immortal Sect’s treasure trove been stolen by those bastards?" Yue Qinghuan asked urgently.

Xue An shook his head, "Not yet, because on this map, the aura representing the Immortal Sect’s treasure trove hasn’t changed, so I suspect these people may have only glimpsed the path and haven’t accessed it yet."

"Then what should we do next?"

Xue An looked up at the sky, his voice cold as he said, "The only plan now is to set out immediately and find the Immortal Sect’s treasure trove before everyone else, or all efforts will be for naught!"
