Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2725: Chapter 2726: Taking Action

Qie Weilan’s face showed a trace of impatience, "No need to say more, gentlemen, if you are full, please leave as soon as possible! After all, I have a lot of things to do, and no time to accompany you any longer!"

Saying this, she stood up directly, without even a goodbye, and left on her own.

Watching her back, Zhuo Benzheng was a bit dumbfounded.

On the side, however, Han Bochao was outraged, "Brother Zhuo, what’s the point in talking to such an ungrateful woman of the streets? Since she’s so merciless, then we shall leave!"

Zhuo Benzheng was somewhat silent, but since things had come to this point, speaking further was futile, so he could only stand up, glance at the bundles on the table, and then shake his head and sigh.

"Let’s go, since we’re not welcome here, let’s leave!"

With that, he strode away without even looking at the bundles on the table.

Seeing him like this, the remaining three felt awkward to take the bundles either, and they all stood up and left together.

After they had left, a young maid reported the news to Qie Weilan.

Qie Weilan was sitting in a room on the third floor, lost in thought. Upon hearing that Zhuo Benzheng and the others had not taken the bundles and had simply left, she was silent for a moment and finally waved her hand.

"Alright, I know, you may leave now!"

But the young maid did not leave and instead mustered up the courage to ask.

"Miss Qie, why don’t you tell Mr. Zhuo the truth?"

Qie Weilan gave a bitter smile, "What good would telling them do? To survive in this Ling’an City, one must bow to the Xu family, and besides, this matter is not related to them. Wouldn’t it be a sin to ruin their future because of it?"

"But... I see that Mr. Zhuo seems to like you a lot..." the young maid whispered.

Qie Weilan was slightly taken aback, then her face showed a touch of melancholy, "How can a woman like me from the streets dare to hope for love? Besides, these young men, full of ambition and vigor, like bamboo and pine in the wind, deserve a better future; they don’t belong here!"

The young maid hesitated to speak again but ultimately could only leave sadly.

After she left, Qie Weilan sat alone in the dark, her eyes bright as autumn water, sitting dazed for a long, long time.

So long that the lights outside were already on, and only then did she slowly stand up, take off her wide dress, and put on night clothing, diving straight into the vast, endless darkness.

Ling’an City was indeed vast; starting from the district where Wan Hua Lou was located, Qie Weilan moved swiftly over the rooftops. Even so, it still took her a full quarter of an hour to reach her destination.

The destination was a small courtyard that looked unremarkable from the outside, but as soon as Qie Weilan landed in the courtyard, an old, sharp voice came from within the house.

"Miss Qie, coming here so late, is there something on your mind?"

As the voice sounded, the door opened, revealing a fat face, exactly the same as the fat eunuch who had greeted Yun Lingxuan outside the city during the day.

Upon seeing him, Qie Weilan clasped her hands in salute.

"Uncle Wu, there is indeed an urgent matter that requires your help!"

"Tut tut, this is rare. Who in Ling’an City doesn’t know that Miss Qie seldom asks for help? You can’t want me to help you kill Xu Gaotian, can you?"

Though a servant of the City Lord’s Mansion, when mentioning Xu Gaotian at this moment, the fat eunuch’s tone carried not a shred of respect.

Qie Weilan was silent for a moment.

Eunuch Wu widened his eyes, "I guessed right, you really want to kill Xu Gaotian?"

Qie Weilan nodded, "This Xu Gaotian is becoming more outrageous; if it weren’t for someone stepping in today, I might not have restrained myself and acted on impulse!"

Eunuch Wu nodded, "I heard about what happened today too. Indeed, Xu Gaotian went a bit too far! But just based on your current ability, attempting to assassinate him is as unrealistic as daydreaming!"

"I still have to do it because with Xu Gaotian’s character, he will definitely retaliate madly afterwards. Instead of waiting passively for death, it’s better to strike first!"

At the end, Qie Weilan’s eyes showed a trace of viciousness.

The eunuch Wu sighed, "As a former friend of your father, I can’t bear to see you go to your death!"

Hearing him mention her father, Qie Weilan’s gaze was full of sorrow.

"Uncle Wu, do you think there’s any difference between me being alive now and being dead? To avenge my father, I’ve endured humiliation and stayed hidden in the brothel just to get close to this Great General of Ling’an. But three years have passed, and I’ve seen no progress at all! Instead of waiting aimlessly, it’s better to fight to the death. Even if I can’t kill the Ling’an General, killing his son would at least give some closure!"

Seeing her determined gaze, the eunuch Wu couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

"Since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll help you this time, but remember, once you take this step, there’s no turning back!"

Qie Weilan nodded firmly, "I understand!"

A cup of tea’s time later, the small courtyard became empty once more.

The fat eunuch stood alone in the darkness; only after a long time did he look at the distant lights and muttered.

"I wonder what happened to make this foolish girl foster such a strong will to die!"

With that, he shook his head and turned back inside.

Meanwhile, in another lavish mansion in the city, Xu Gaotian listened with a dark face to the man in black kneeling before him recount the events.

After he finished speaking, Xu Gaotian finally spoke slowly.

"So you found traces of the traitors but not only failed to capture them, you even lost your men?"

At hearing his cold and emotionless questioning, the man in black trembled all over, then desperately said.

"Second Hall Master, it’s all due to my negligence and falling into the bandits’ trap this time. I beg you to spare my life for the sake of my years of hard work without mistakes!"

Saying so, he started kowtowing on the ground.

Even when his forehead bled, he dared not stop.

Sitting in his chair, Xu Gaotian didn’t even blink, "Thinking you can make up for your mistakes with a few kowtows, isn’t that a bit too simple?"

Hearing these words, the man in black trembled again, then without hesitation, drew a dagger from his chest and swung it down.

Poof!

Blood splattered, and an arm fell to the ground.

The man in black, enduring the severe pain, asked, "Second Hall Master, is this acceptable?"

"Humph! This time I’ll give you another chance, but if there’s a next time, bring me your head directly!"

"Yes!"

The man in black left.

The blood scent in the room lingered.

Xu Gaotian stood up and walked outside.

Today he had come to this place after seeing Shura Hall’s note in Wan Hua Lou.

At that moment, he was contemplating a thought.

Though Qing Laosan and Bai Laoqi’s abilities weren’t exceptional, they weren’t amateurs and hadn’t made mistakes for so many years.

So who killed them?

As he puzzled over it, one foot already stepped across the threshold.

Just at that moment, an unparalleled sword light sliced through the darkness, heading straight for him.
