Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2491: Chapter 2492: Reunion with an Old Friend

Late at night, the streets of Yunxiao City remained bustling, yet the teahouse by the street had already closed its doors early.

Some tea enthusiasts wanting to knock found a sign saying "closed for business" hanging at the door, and could only leave reluctantly.

At this moment, in the small courtyard behind the teahouse, Xiao Tian whispered, "Young master, are you really going to shelter this mysterious woman? Isn’t it a bit too hasty?"

"Why do you say that? Or is it that you don’t trust her?" Yangjian turned to glance at Xiao Tian and asked with a smile.

"Not that I don’t trust her, but it’s just that we are strangers to this woman. Sheltering her simply because of her words today— isn’t it a bit too quick?"

"After all, one can know a person’s face but not their heart. Although this woman has a grudge against evil forces, she hails from the mysterious land of sorcery—who knows what secrets she might be carrying!"

Yangjian looked at Xiao Tian’s cautious face and nodded approvingly, "It’s good that you think that way, but I have my own considerations about this matter. It’s not like I just had a sudden impulse to shelter her!"

Xiao Tian let out a breath, "That’s good. Then, young master, rest early. I’ll take my leave now. Call me if anything comes up!"

Xiao Tian knew that Yangjian’s health was weak in this world, and he had a habit of meditating before sleep, so he bid farewell and left early.

In an instant, only Yangjian was left in the small courtyard.

At this moment, the moon hung high, illuminating the earth brightly. Yangjian stood quietly in the courtyard for a moment, then sighed softly.

"Another clan fell prey to disaster. The threat of these evil forces grows relentlessly—I really wonder when this will finally end!"

Even though he had appeared calm in front of Xiao Tian earlier today, deep in his heart, he was worried.

Especially since the Bai Family Gathering was about to be held, and these evil forces were clearly plotting a monumental conspiracy. Yet none of the families or sects even had the slightest awareness. If they were careless, it might turn into a catastrophic disaster.

Though Yangjian didn’t have much affection for the sects and families of Sky Beyond the Skies, as a Hua Clan Deity born and raised on Earth, he still didn’t wish for more people to fall prey to these evil forces.

After all, the more strength there was on the side of Sky Beyond the Skies, the more barriers there would be against the evil forces.

Realistically, Yangjian had already clearly realized that Sky Beyond the Skies was like a moat, blocking the evil forces from the Multiverse.

Thus, this realm could not afford any losses.

Under such thoughts of concern, Yangjian had no desire to sleep and sat absent-mindedly beneath a tree in the courtyard.

The night grew cold. It wasn’t until Yangjian shook off a shiver that he realized he had been sitting under the tree for hours.

His body in this life was exceedingly weak, even weaker than an ordinary person, making him unable to endure even the slightest chill.

Yangjian sighed lightly but didn’t bother Xiao Tian, going inside to fetch a set of tea utensils instead, and he began brewing tea under the tree.

The pure silver hand warmer contained charcoal fire as if jade, dispersing a bit of the chill with its warmth.

Yangjian flexed his somewhat stiff hands and then began preparing the tea set.

But at that moment, a chuckle came from the courtyard wall not far away.

"On a night like this, wouldn’t it be a waste not to drink wine under such splendid moonlight?"

Upon hearing the voice, Yangjian trembled all over, but immediately his lips curled up. He set aside the teacup in his hand and looked toward the distance.

On the courtyard wall stood a figure, arrogantly poised, his white robe fluttering in the breeze, resembling an Immortal riding the wind.

Yangjian smiled subtly, "Well said. Under such moonlight, a few cups of wine are indeed appropriate!"

The young man laughed, and amidst his laughter, his figure suddenly appeared before Yangjian, speaking in a calm tone, "Erlang God, long time no see!"

Yangjian gave a gentle smile, "Long time no see!"

The visitor was none other than Xue An.

He came alone, without Yue Qinghuan by his side, and upon seeing Yangjian, there was laughter in his brows and eyes.

"Years have passed, I didn’t expect to meet you here!"

"Yes, it has been so many years!"

Speaking thus, Yangjian looked at Xue An with bright eyes, "Speaking of which, I still owe you a thank you for what happened back then!"

Xue An waved his hand, "Enough with the pleasantries. If you really want to thank me, then hurry up and bring out the wine!"

Yangjian paused, then laughed heartily, "Alright! Then tonight, I’ll accompany you for a couple of rounds!"

Of course, there was wine in the teahouse, for no matter how fragrant the tea was, it couldn’t compare to the richness of fine wine.

Moreover, the more tea one drinks, the more clear-headed one becomes, whereas wine leads to intoxication.

So after drinking tea for a long time, people often need wine to balance it out.

Sometimes, those who are too clear-headed often find life exhausting. Occasional indulgence brings out more joy.

Like now.

The fine wine was placed on the table, yet the dishes were but simple snacks.

Even so, their spirits remained high, and together they filled a cup of wine and drank it down.

As the wine went down, Yangjian suddenly coughed violently, causing two sickly red spots to bloom on his pale face.

Xue An watched quietly, a trace of compassion in his eyes, yet he took no action.

After a moment, Yangjian finally caught his breath and chuckled lightly, "Refreshing, truly refreshing!"

Xue An set down his cup, speaking softly, "All these years, it’s been tough on you!"

"Why say such things? I actually thought I’d died back then, so just being able to live this life now, I’m already quite satisfied!" Yangjian replied with a smile.

Seeing the broad smile on Yangjian’s face, Xue An too finally laughed, "To tell you the truth, that Xiao Tian really is lucky to have found you!"

"Indeed! Everything seems like an invisible hand is orchestrating it all!" Yangjian murmured.

Xue An was silent for a moment, then raised his cup, "Come, let’s drink!"

After another cup, this time Yangjian didn’t cough, but the mole on his brow burned as if ready to ignite.

This only made him appear more beautiful!

Indeed!

With Yangjian’s current appearance, the word ’beautiful’ was fitting.

Seeing this, Xue An couldn’t help but sigh, "No wonder that Lei Family’s young lady is hopelessly in love with you. Just with your enchantingly attractive presence, you easily allure others without uttering a word!"

Upon hearing this, Yangjian’s face showed bitterness, "Have you seen that Lei girl?"

"Yes, I just came from Jidu City, and that Lei Family’s young lady arrived shortly after!"

Yangjian paused in surprise, "She’s coming too?"

"Of course she is! After all...."

Xue An smiled mischievously, "She has to ask you why you abandoned her so casually!"

Yangjian smiled bitterly, "I really had my reasons for leaving back then, but between this Lei girl and me...."

Xue An waved his hand, "Save those words. Don’t tell me. Share them when you meet her tomorrow!"
