Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2409: Chapter 2410: Internal Strife

Xue An was slightly startled upon hearing the description of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, and then nodded, "That’s right, it certainly feels that way!"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady sighed softly, "In fact, all these years, I’ve been studying this light, wanting to uncover the secret it hides!"

"And the result?"

"The result?" The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady smiled bitterly, "The only thing I can confirm is that this light is clearly closely linked to the Hua Clan. Beyond that, I don’t know much more than you!"

Xue An was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Anyway, at least it’s benevolent, isn’t it?"

Speaking, Xue An gently resealed the bottle cap, then with a twist of his wrist, the jade bottle disappeared.

Seeing this, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady couldn’t help but ask, "Why? Don’t you plan to use it to enhance your power?"

"Of course I will use it, but not now! Because there are many things that need to be dealt with first."

"Such as?"

"Such as the feud between the Lou Family and the Si Family!" Xue An said coldly.

Upon hearing this, a cold sharpness flashed through the eyes of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

"I would have forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it. The Si Family has indeed gone too far this time; not only do you have to settle accounts with them, but I also need to visit them and ask what exactly they’re up to!"

Meanwhile, in the Si Family located at the other end of the Starry Domain, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Roars of fury from Si Daoyuan echoed in the hall.

"Say it again, what exactly happened to Guang Zhong?"

Si Mingqi knelt below, his head touching the ground.

"Family Head, at that moment, Guang Zhong and I were preparing to sneak into the inn to steal the young girl from the Lou Family, but unexpectedly, the Shen Family people suddenly came and engaged in a fierce battle with that Xue An. Except for me, everyone from the Si Family perished in the raging sword flow, including Guang Zhong, the second young master..."

Bang!

Si Daoyuan slapped the armrest of his chair fiercely and stood up abruptly, his eyes flashing with a predatory light that made his face contort.

"Everyone is dead, and only you survived?"

"Yes!"

"You worthless thing, then why did you come back? Why didn’t you die there?" Si Daoyuan roared in fury, grabbing the teapot beside him and throwing it over.

With a crisp sound, the teapot hit Si Mingqi’s forehead, and the scalding tea poured down, making his head steam.

Yet despite this, Si Mingqi remained motionless, still kneeling there.

Si Daoyuan’s anger was unabated, and he rushed down from the high platform intending to end Si Mingqi, fortunately stopped by someone nearby.

"Family Head, please calm your anger. I don’t think this is what Ming Qi wanted to see. Let him go this time!"

Upon hearing this, Si Daoyuan paused his steps, snorted coldly, "Hmph, Yicheng, I would have killed him today if it weren’t for your sake!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Nodded the elder who spoke, then turned to Si Mingqi, "Aren’t you going to thank the Family Head for sparing your life?"

Si Mingqi knocked his head to the ground a few times, speaking in a deep tone, "Thank you Family Head for sparing my life!"

Si Daoyuan’s face remained iron-blue without a word. The elder named Si Yicheng beside him sighed softly.

"Family Head, I think right now we should figure out why the Shen Family got involved in this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Si Daoyuan was shaken, his iron-blue face quickly turned pale.

"You’re suggesting... the Shen Family might be involved behind this matter?"

"I’m only saying it’s possible, but no one knows the specifics!"

Yet merely the possibility filled Si Daoyuan’s heart with terror.

Because compared to the Shen Family, such a world-class powerhouse, the Si Family’s scale was truly insignificant.

So at this moment, he was utterly devoid of the previous aggressive demeanor, his expression turning horrified.

"Then what should we do? Since the Shen Family is involved, they’re likely after the young girl from the Lou Family. How about we now express our position to the Shen Family, saying we’ve given up on obtaining that girl?"

Si Yicheng shook his head, "Family Head, this must not be done. First, the Shen Family won’t believe it; second, even if they do, it would be akin to a self-confession!"

"Then tell me, what should be done?"

Si Daoyuan was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Looking at him, totally devoid of any Family Head’s prestige, a trace of disdain flashed in Si Yicheng’s eyes, but he soon said solemnly.

"I think right now what we should do is not express our position but should instead observe and see how the Shen Family reacts, then it’s not too late to decide!"

"Right, right, right! You’re indeed wise and steady, Yicheng; I agree wholeheartedly, let’s do as you say!" Si Daoyuan nodded fiercely, expressing.

The family meeting ended hastily like this, with the numerous elders rising to leave.

Yet almost everyone ignored Si Mingqi who was kneeling on the ground, including Si Daoyuan who didn’t even look at him, as if he were a discarded dead dog.

Only after everyone had almost left, Si Mingqi slowly staggered up from the ground, raising his face full of blisters from being scalded, coldly glanced at the throne on the high platform, and then walked out of the hall.

Outside the hall was the silent night.

Just as Si Mingqi walked down the steps, Si Yicheng’s indifferent voice came from the shadow around the corner.

"Is the First Young Master only just returning now?"

Si Mingqi stopped, the corner of his burnt mouth forming a cold smile, "First Young Master? Are you calling me by that title?"

"Of course, no matter what, you’re the Family Head’s first son; naturally, I must refer to you as the First Young Master!" Si Yicheng stepped out of the darkness, smilingly said.

"So just this First Young Master would’ve almost died at the hands of his own father?" Si Mingqi said sarcastically.

"Hehe, the First Young Master seems quite dissatisfied with the Family Head!" Si Yicheng’s eyes flickered, he whispered.

Si Mingqi turned sharply, his swollen eyes full of icy light.

"That’s right, I am quite dissatisfied with him, because from childhood to adulthood, I never had any status in his eyes, this time included; for Guangzhong, he was even willing to kill me, is this something a father should do?"

"So you secretly arranged the assassination of your brother Guangzhong and disguised it as the aftermath of Sword Qi?" Only after Si Mingqi vented did Si Yicheng smilingly say.

And this statement was like a bolt from the blue, freezing Si Mingqi in place.

Si Yicheng looked at him coldly, "Wondering how I found out?"

Si Mingqi took a deep breath, "Hehe, you’re spouting nonsense..."

Before he could finish, Si Yicheng waved his hand, "No need to cover up, I had spies at the scene at the time, need me to produce the water curtain images from then?"
