Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2656: Chapter 2657: The Wei Family’s Past

That’s right!

These two sisters were exactly that famously beautiful pair from the Wei Family in Zhongdu.

In the original, unaltered timeline, this prodigy girl Wei Rulan first studied the Way of Go and Divine Sense under Xue An, and later became a disciple of that master diviner Zhuge Cang, achieving immortal feats.

As for Wei Ruyan, she was also quite extraordinary. Born with an acute sensitivity to the spirits of flowers, plants, and trees, she became quite renowned as well.

But in this timeline, the fate of the two sisters was extremely tragic.

Because their family had already been obliterated during the Federal Credential Bureau’s campaign to unify the globe.

Although Huaguo held a highly important seat within the Federal Credential Bureau, any process of unification was destined to demand sacrifice and bloodshed.

Due to differences in ideology and conflicts of interest, the Wei Family strongly opposed Huaguo joining the Federal Credential Bureau.

The result was that, overnight, this family was completely wiped out, and such a bloody method made all the great families of Zhongdu fall collectively silent.

Yet sharing the same fate, they felt a deep, sorrowful resonance; in secret, many of the Zhongdu clans called the Wei Family’s actions martyrdom for the nation and held private memorials for them.

An Qing had also taken part at the time, and because she had a very good relationship with the sisters Wei Ruyan and Wei Rulan, she was heartbroken over it for a long time.

She never expected that this pair of sisters, already regarded by everyone as dead in sacrifice, had actually escaped with their lives and even built such a huge enterprise.

Just as An Qing was torn between shock and doubt, Wei Rulan let out a soft sigh. "The Twin Jewels of Zhongdu?"

Then a trace of sorrow appeared on her face. "It’s been a long time since I’ve heard anyone mention that name!"

Saying this, she looked at Qin Yu and Du Fan and smiled slightly. "I truly didn’t expect the Qin Family’s young miss to brave such risks and personally come here to see me. Back then, Old Master Qin passed through here several times. I met him once. May I ask, how is the old master’s health now?"

Qin Yu’s expression grew very unpleasant.

Although she had never dealt with this Wei Rulan personally, she had long heard of her deeds.

She knew that this frail, sickly girl who had difficulty walking was extremely intelligent from childhood. Later, when she grew older, she took charge of every aspect of the Wei Family’s internal and external affairs, truly worthy of being called resourceful and shrewd.

That was why people called her the prodigy girl.

And the very fact that, after escaping Earth, she took only a few years to establish such a massive pirate organization was proof enough of this.

But precisely because of this, Qin Yu felt even heavier at heart.

Because dealing with someone like this would put pressure on anyone.

Especially since what Qin Yu sought was the crucial Time-Space Stone!

Still, she quickly organized her thoughts, drew in a deep breath, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Wei. My grandfather’s health is still fine!"

Wei Rulan gave a faint smile, her gaze drifting to the solemn-faced Yu Ming.

"For all of you to mobilize on such a scale, even going so far as to invite the Yu Family’s legitimate young master to come in person, I doubt you’re here just to enjoy the scenery. Am I right?"

Everyone fell silent.

Then An Qing let out a soft sigh. "Rulan, since you’re the one running Saint Diss, we don’t need to talk in circles with you. Yes, we did indeed come here with another purpose!"

Wei Rulan said blandly, "No need to say it. I’ve already guessed. You’re here for this, aren’t you?"

As she spoke, Wei Rulan stretched out her hand. Lying in her palm was a stone as warm and smooth as jade.

The stone was small, yet it had a strangely compelling allure. Especially those blood-like veins crisscrossing its surface—they looked like an eye, coldly watching everyone.

Seeing this, everyone’s eyes widened and they held their breath.

No one had expected that the stone they had been bitterly searching for, the one that had driven the world’s powerhouses mad, would just appear in front of them like this.

Perhaps noticing the shock on their faces, Wei Rulan said softly, "It’s just this little thing, and yet it’s driven countless people insane. The Wei Family was massacred back then because of it. I didn’t expect that after so many years, it would again draw so many covetous eyes."

Hearing this, tears glimmered in Wei Ruyan’s eyes behind her.

Everyone else was shaken to their core.

An Qing hurriedly spoke first. "Rulan, you mean the real reason the Wei Family was destroyed was this stone?"

"That’s right." Wei Rulan’s voice was soft, her tone very calm.

"Because this stone was originally a heirloom of the Wei Family. Somehow, it later caught the eye of the Federal Credential Bureau, and in the end, the entire Wei Family—every man, woman, and child—was exterminated."

An Qing continued to ask, "Then who was the one behind all this?"

An Qing reacted very quickly.

Since someone within the Federal Credential Bureau had long coveted this object, it meant that this person understood the value of the Time-Space Stone, and thus the chances of him having such an item in his hand were very high.

Seeing through An Qing’s thoughts, Wei Rulan shook her head with a bitter smile. "It’s useless. After extensive investigation, I finally learned that the one who initiated this wasn’t even human, but the Federal Credential Bureau’s artificial intelligence, Star Ring!"

"Star Ring?"

The entire hall once again fell silent.

Especially An Qing and Qin Yu. After exchanging a glance, both saw disappointment in the other’s eyes.

Because now, Star Ring had already been destroyed by Xue An and had vanished without a trace.

Where could they possibly go to look for this thing now?

"I know why you seek this object. If you’re not in a hurry, you can wait here for a few days. I believe that boy will come knocking soon," Wei Rulan said.

"Aren’t you afraid?" An Qing couldn’t help asking.

"Afraid? Why should I be afraid? Oh, you mean that boy’s terrifying strength? Then I can tell you right now—I’m not afraid. On the contrary, I’m very interested!"

As she spoke, blazing light flared in Wei Rulan’s eyes, drawing everyone’s gaze.

"I really want to know how an existence like him came to be, why there was no trace of him before, and of course, more importantly, how he destroyed Star Ring on Earth."

"So if none of you have anything urgent to do, you can wait here for a while."

In the end, after Qin Yu and the others exchanged glances, they all finally made up their minds.

Even though they hadn’t obtained the Time-Space Stone this time, meeting him once would still be worthwhile. Besides, they were also very eager to know why Xue An was in such a rush to search for the Time-Space Stone.

Before long—

They followed Du Yi away; arrangements would be made for their lodgings.

After they left, Wei Ruyan pondered for a long time, several times wanting to speak but stopping herself.

Just then, Wei Rulan said in a low voice, "Sister, you also think what I’m doing is a bit risky, don’t you?"

Wei Ruyan nodded. "Yes. That boy’s origins are unknown. We don’t even know whether he’s friend or foe. If we rashly approach him like this, who knows whether it will be a blessing or a curse."
