Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2428: Chapter 2429: Hidden Motives

Here, the atmosphere was even more bustling.

It should be noted that the Si Family was once one of the Ten Great Families of the Pharmacists’ Alliance, and the planet where their headquarters was located was far from simple; not only was its position crucial, but it was also adjacent to several extremely prosperous trade planets.

Although the planet of the Si Family no longer exists now, the gathering has made this place very lively and bustling.

Yet amid this bustling scene, there was a blank area covering a ten-thousand-mile radius.

If observed from above, it seemed like a piece had been forcefully carved out from a lively picture, making it very conspicuous.

This was the forbidden zone set up by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

Whether traders or stall owners, they all kept a courteous distance from this forbidden area.

Not to mention the prestige of the Mysterious Empress in the Pharmacists’ Alliance, the crowd surrounding the forbidden zone’s periphery was enough to deter all curious glances, keeping unrelated people at bay.

Under such circumstances, Lü Yangyan, accompanied by his sister Lü Xiaoya, boldly approached this defensive line.

"Who goes there?" someone shouted.

Lü Yangyan stopped and cupped his hands in salute, saying, "I am an old acquaintance of Mr. Xue, having heard about his grievous injuries, I have come to assist!"

"Oh? An acquaintance?"

The people stationed here were all subordinates of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady. Upon hearing this, they exchanged glances.

"Wait a moment, I’ll report this situation first!"

Someone entered to inform the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady of this situation.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was taken aback upon hearing the news.

"An acquaintance? I’ll go and see!"

Saying this, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady got up and arrived at the forefront of the defensive line, spotting Lü Yangyan standing there in the void, and was somewhat startled.

Because she immediately sensed the aura of True Martial from Lü Yangyan.

"A disciple of the Daoist Family’s True Martial Sect?" the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady asked in a solemn tone.

Seeing a woman with an imposing presence emerge, Lü Yangyan knew this must be the legendary Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady who founded the Pharmacists’ Alliance, so he quickly bowed in respect.

"Indeed, I am a descendant of the Daoist Family’s True Martial Sect, named Lü Yangyan, and this is my sister Lü Xiaoya!"

Saying this, Lü Yangyan lifted his head and briefly recounted the story of how he became acquainted with Xue An.

After listening, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady nodded.

She could confirm that he wasn’t lying, moreover, a descendant of the Daoist Family’s True Martial Sect wouldn’t deceive her under such a guise.

"I see, then please come in!"

Lü Yangyan’s expression lit up with joy, and he immediately led his sister into the defensive line area.

"Respected Empress, but how is Mr. Xue doing now? Are there any signs of awakening?"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady shook her head, "Same as before, no change at all. Since you’re an old acquaintance, I’ll take you to see him!"

With that, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady led Lü Yangyan and his sister into the central part of the forbidden area.

In the distance, there was dazzling radiance and various illusions appearing, blocking anyone from advancing.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady stopped and said calmly, "What’s wrapped in the radiance is Xue An!"

Lü Yangyan and his sister immediately looked towards the center of the radiance. Despite the blinding light, they could faintly make out a figure sitting cross-legged.

Their hearts trembled in unison.

"Mr. Xue!" Lü Yangyan murmured softly, feeling a sourness in his nose.

Lü Xiaoya’s tears couldn’t help but stream down.

Despite knowing beforehand what they would witness upon arrival, actually seeing it filled them with mixed emotions.

At this moment, Cha Wenliang, accompanied by Ao Shu and Xiao Gourd, arrived.

"What’s this...?" Cha Wenliang asked.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady said softly, "Descendants of the Daoist Family’s True Martial Sect, here to visit Xue An!"

Cha Wenliang responded with a long "Oh", then took a deep look at the sibling pair.

As a seasoned elder, he naturally understood the significance of the Daoist Family’s True Martial Sect.

But given the current situation, no matter how powerful, one could do nothing but watch.

Just then, Xiao Gourd’s eyes suddenly lit up. Her innocent little face showed an excited expression, and she quickly approached Lü Xiaoya, tilting her head to study her.

Lü Xiaoya then noticed a little girl, delicate like a carved jade, standing before her and was taken aback.

She knew Xue An had a daughter, but weren’t there supposed to be twins?

Why was there only one?

While she was puzzled, Xiao Gourd pointed at her hairpin.

"Do you want this?" Seeing the look of longing in Xiao Gourd’s eyes, Lü Xiaoya casually removed the hairpin from her bun and asked with a smile.

Xiao Gourd nodded, her mouth slightly open, almost drooling over the bright treasure bead on the hairpin.

Seeing this, Lü Xiaoya smiled and handed it over.

As a girl, she had little resistance to all cute things, and Xiao Gourd was an exceptionally adorable little girl, so she quite liked her.

Xiao Gourd took the hairpin without hesitation, opened her mouth wide, and swallowed the treasure bead embedded in it.

"Oh dear, how can you eat that...?" Lü Xiaoya was startled.

But before she could finish speaking, Xiao Gourd was crunching away with enjoyment, as though consuming a candy rather than a cold, hard treasure bead.

In no time, she had chewed up and swallowed the entire treasure bead.

Then she looked eagerly at Lü Xiaoya again.

This left Lü Xiaoya dumbfounded.

Never had she imagined that the seemingly delicate porcelain doll of a girl before her could be so fierce.

Moreover, wasn’t the treasure bead supposed to contain powerful black domain energy?

Why did it seem like candy to her?

These questions left her feeling bewildered.

Observing this scene, Cha Wenliang shook his head helplessly, cleared his throat, and stepped forward.

"Gourd, don’t be so rude. How would we explain if you frighten our guests?"

On hearing this, Xiao Gourd reluctantly lowered her hand, but the longing in her eyes clearly indicated how much she enjoyed the taste of that bead.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s eyes flashed slightly at this sight, but she said nothing.

Then Cha Wenliang smiled at the Lü siblings, "A descendant of True Martial hasn’t been seen in Sky Beyond the Skies for a long time. Where did you both come from, Fu Niu Mountain perhaps?"

Fu Niu Mountain houses the Daoist Family’s True Martial Sect, it’s where they’re based.

Upon hearing this, Lü Xiaoya’s face showed a hint of melancholy, "We’re not..."

At this moment, Lü Yangyan hurriedly interjected, "Yes, that’s where we came from, specifically to check on Mr. Xue’s condition!"

Cha Wenliang nodded, "You both are considerate, but Xue An’s retreat is unlikely to end anytime soon. Why not come with us to the camp and wait there!"

Lü Xiaoya was about to agree.

Lü Yangyan stepped forward and quietly said, "There’s no need!"
