Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2729: Chapter 2730: The Great Scholar on the Green Ox

This Blue Ox is entirely blue, without a single stray hair, and its stature is grand. Though it moves slowly, its speed is extraordinarily fast.

A moment ago, it was far on the horizon, but the next instant it had arrived above Ling’an City.

Then, sitting atop the Blue Ox, the scholar in a blue robe smiled and said, "City Lord Xu, thank you for the welcome. Though modest, I, Tang Zheng, am here to participate in this cultural event in Ling’an!"

Upon seeing the refined and extraordinary, almost immortal-like scholar, Xu Ling’an was momentarily taken aback, then his expression became solemn.

"Ah, it’s the great scholar of the Blue Ox, Master Tang. Your presence at the Ling’an City cultural event is truly a blessing for the scholars of Ling’an!"

At this point, Tang Zheng patted the Blue Ox beneath him, which then transformed into a cloud of smoke and dispersed.

Only then did Tang Zheng perform a formal greeting.

"I hardly deserve such praise!"

"Master Tang, please!" Xu Ling’an enthusiastically invited.

Tang Zheng nodded and stepped towards the City Lord’s Mansion, but before leaving, he seemed to have noticed something and glanced towards the street where Wan Hua Lou was located.

At this moment, the black-clad figures from Shura Hall had already scattered away.

With their dark arts, how could they face this illustrious cultural presence?

Moreover, under the suppression of the overwhelming scholarly aura, it was futile to act, so they hurriedly fled.

Xue An did not pursue, but stood quietly watching.

Not only observing the newly arrived great scholar of the Blue Ox, but also assessing Xu Ling’an, who looked compassionate and benevolent like a local magistrate.

It was at this moment that Tang Zheng’s gaze turned.

Xue An, however, lowered his head before Tang Zheng could, and calmly said, "Let’s go. Since Wan Hua Lou is closed, we’ll find another place to stay!"

With that, Xue An began to walk.

Ren Ning naturally had no objection.

Although she felt a bit disappointed at not being able to see her former fan and pen friend, she obediently followed behind Xue An, unwilling to stray even a step.

At the exact moment Xue An lowered his head preparing to leave, Tang Zheng in the sky felt a slight stir in his heart.

"Master Tang, what’s the matter?" Xu Ling’an asked as he noticed Tang Zheng suddenly paused his steps.

Tang Zheng shook his head, "It’s nothing, just a fleeting feeling."

Though he said so, there was still a tinge of doubt in Tang Zheng’s heart.

Strange.

Just now, he clearly sensed a supremely pure and noble aura in this area, yet it suddenly vanished.

Xu Ling’an also thoughtfully glanced in the direction of Wan Hua Lou before laughing.

"Master Tang, if there are no other matters, we should return soon, for Miss Yun has been waiting at the mansion!"

"Oh? Miss Yun? The renowned courtesan Yun Lingxuan from the Pavilion Beyond Pavilion? She’s here too?"

"Indeed!"

"I definitely need to meet her!"

The two talked and laughed as they returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Meanwhile, Xue An was about to leave when a hurried voice called out behind him.

"Young Master, please wait!"

Xue An turned to look and saw Zhuo Benzheng, Wu Zizhang, Yao Yachao, along with another person approaching quickly.

Once they drew close, all four bowed deeply to Xue An.

"Thank you, young master, for your rescue earlier!"

Xue An smiled lightly, "You seem to be scholars; how did you provoke such people?"

Before Zhuo Benzheng could speak, the sullen-faced scholar Han Bochao said in frustration, "It’s because we offended Xu Gaotian!"

"Xu Gaotian? The eldest young master from the General’s Mansion?" Xue An was slightly taken aback.

"Who else could it be?" Han Bochao said with resentment.

Xue An’s expression turned interesting as he suddenly realized something.

The reason Shura Hall targeted him was due to him thwarting their plans at the theater.

After he killed Qing Lao San and Bai Lao Qi, the actor at the theater soon disappeared.

When disappearing, the theater caught fire and was engulfed in flames.

This series of events is quite intriguing.

For now, it’s clear that Shura Hall has an undeniable connection with this Xu Gaotian from Ling’an General’s Mansion.

Why then does Shura Hall target an actor mercilessly?

Especially considering this actor is a... dubious figure?

These tangled clues unraveled in Xue An’s mind, forming a huge question mark, the target pointing directly at Xu Gaotian.

Interesting!

Just as Xue An felt his trip wasn’t in vain, a timid voice came from the darkness.

"Is that... is that Young Master Zhuo?"

Everyone turned to look, and at the mouth of a small alley, a little maid poked her head out, looking at them with fear in her eyes.

Upon confirming it was Zhuo Benzheng, a smile appeared on the maid’s face, and she quickly ran over.

"Young Master Zhuo, Miss Qian’er asked me to find you here, believing you would surely return. And here you are!"

Zhuo Benzheng, struggling with face blindness, had no idea who this little maid was.

However, Wu Zizhang, standing next to him, had a good memory and immediately recognized the maid as someone from Wan Hua Lou, asking.

"You’re a maid from Wan Hua Lou; where are your people? Why is Wan Hua Lou empty?"

The maid replied unfortunately, "We all fled since Miss Qie said that Xu Gaotian is inherently violent and wouldn’t easily let Wan Hua Lou go, so she sent everyone away to hide for a few days!"

"What about Miss Qie?" Zhuo Benzheng stepped forward, asking anxiously.

The maid shook her head, "I don’t know either. After saying that, Miss Qie left and hasn’t returned. We’re all worried about her!"

Zhuo Benzheng’s face turned pale, his most dreaded fear having come true.

Ren Ning suddenly peeked out and asked, "The Miss Qie you’re talking about, is it Qie Weilan?"

The maid nodded, "There is only one Miss Qie in Wan Hua Lou, and that’s Qie Weilan!"

Ren Ning looked at Xue An, "She’s my fan and pen friend!"

Though the following words weren’t spoken, the meaning was clear.

She hoped Xue An could help find out what happened to Qie Weilan.

As for whether Xue An could achieve it.

In today’s world, if anyone trusted Xue An most, aside from An Yan, it would be her.

Zhuo Benzheng and the three others also realized this, knowing the white-robed youth clearly had abilities, and they looked at him expectantly.

Xue An smiled, "It’s not impossible, but I don’t know Miss Qie, nor do I know what she looks like, how could I find her?"

Everyone fell into silence.

Indeed!

No matter how skilled the white-robed youth is, it’s impossible to find someone he’s never seen, right?

At this moment, Zhuo Benzheng suddenly raised his head, full of resolve, saying, "I think I know a way!"

"Oh? What way?" Xue An looked at Zhuo Benzheng with an interested smile.

His impression of these scholars was quite good, considering they dare stand up to a privileged character like Xu Gaotian, it speaks volumes about their character.

"When I was young, I learned some painting techniques; perhaps I could illustrate her appearance!"
