Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2758: Chapter 2759: Flirting Like Military Strategy

Wu Jun and Duan Muguang left with Shi Chang’s head.

After they left, the true Xu Ling’an was about to step forward for a conversation, when Xue An turned around and walked toward the high platform.

At this moment, all the attention in the venue was focused on Xue An.

Seeing him head toward the platform, many people were first taken aback, then showed knowing smiles.

For instance, Wu Zizhang laughed, "It seems our Young Master Xue is also quite the debonair character!"

"Nonsense, it’s only natural for a young man to be attracted by beauty. Besides, who could resist someone as stunning as Miss Yun?" Yao Yachao laughed.

Xue An’s previous performances had already won over everyone inside and outside the venue, so people didn’t think there was anything inappropriate about his actions now.

After all, a talented young man’s charm lies in his flair; without it, how could he be considered talented?

The only one with a hint of sadness in his eyes was Tang Zheng, but he said nothing and instead stepped back half a step.

Seeing Xue An walking toward her, Yun Lingxuan remained calm, but the little maid Tuan’er was beside herself with excitement.

"Miss, Miss, he’s coming over, he’s coming over!"

Yun Lingxuan ignored her lovelorn little maid and simply stood quietly, her eyes flickering slightly, pondering something unknown.

Meanwhile, Xue An reached Yun Lingxuan, smiled broadly, and said,

"Miss Yun, we meet again!"

Yun Lingxuan bowed slightly, "Indeed, we meet again!"

This remark caused many to show signs of surprise.

They know each other?

Tang Zheng’s eyes grew even more bitter.

At this moment, Xue An smiled generously, "Miss Yun, where is my composition?"

Composition?

Yun Lingxuan was momentarily stunned, then recalled the bet made before the literary gathering started and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

"You have a good memory, Young Master. If you hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten."

"Haha, although I’m not the champion of the literary gathering, it’s not bad to hear Miss Yun’s composition!" Xue An laughed.

Yun Lingxuan nodded, "In that case, I shall compose a piece for you, Young Master!"

Saying this, Yun Lingxuan took out the guqin she carried with her, placed it on the table, pondered briefly, then gently plucked the strings and began to play.

Yun Lingxuan’s talent for composing is undeniable, even an impromptu piece can be astonishing.

Especially the abundant emotions contained within the music, which moved people profoundly.

When the performance concluded, the venue fell silent. After a moment, only then did Xue An gently applaud and praise,

"What a great piece, and wonderful guqin skills!"

Yun Lingxuan, having finished playing, gracefully stood up and said softly, "Young Master flatters me!"

"It’s not flattery, but the truth! Your musical talent is the highest I have ever seen in my life."

Yun Lingxuan did not realize how exaggerated Xue An’s compliment was, she simply nodded politely.

"Young Master...."

But before she could finish speaking, Xue An gently cupped his hands, "Now that I’ve heard the piece, I shall take my leave!"

With that, Xue An turned and left.

This sudden action left Yun Lingxuan somewhat stupefied.

What’s going on?

Why leave so abruptly?

Could it be he came to see me simply to hear a piece of music?

Not only was Yun Lingxuan puzzled, but many in the crowd were also confused.

Han Bochao frowned and said, "What’s going on? Why did Young Master Xue leave without saying goodbye after a few words?"

Instead, Wu Zizhang sighed lightly, "A master, a true master. I used to think I was quite the expert in wooing, but compared to Young Master Xue, I’m far behind!"

"What do you mean?" Han Bochao was puzzled.

Before Wu Zizhang could explain, Qie Weilan, who was sitting nearby, said softly.

"Feigned detachment after stirring curiosity — this is a common tactic in romantic play, meant to leave a deeper impression. I didn’t expect Young Master Xue to be skilled in this art."

Han Bochao scratched his head, "I don’t get it, it’s too complex!"

Wu Zizhang laughed heartily, patting Han Bochao’s shoulder, "Brother Han, just consider treating women as if they were enemies in military tactics and you’ll understand!"

Han Bochao then realized, "So after feigning detachment, should you lure them deeper, then surround at Wei to rescue Zhao, attacking from the heart, and finally flood the seven armies to march on Huanglong?"

Zhuo Benzheng’s group of four fell into silence.

Qie Weilan blushed slightly, spat, "Ugh! Men!"

With that, she turned away, ignoring them.

Han Bochao was bewildered, "Brother Wu, what did I say wrong?"

"You’re right, absolutely right!"

"Then why did Miss Qie scold me?"

Wu Zizhang was at a loss, but Yao Yachao explained with a smile.

"That’s because although these idioms sound normal usually, they are filled with innuendo and provoke imagination when said at this moment!"

Han Bochao, frowning, thought for a long time but still didn’t quite understand, muttering to himself in defeat, "Women... such trouble!"

And it was then that Xue An had already descended from the platform and came before Xu Ling’an and Wu Ai.

Upon seeing him, Xu Ling’an hurriedly saluted.

"Thank you, sir, for your aid in getting rid of the villain and retaking Ling’an City."

At this moment, Xue An’s rank in his words was upgraded once more, from a young man to a sir.

Xue An just gave a faint smile at this, "No need to thank me. Even if you weren’t here, I would still have to kill Shi Chang, so it was just a convenience."

"Even so, this old man is still endlessly grateful!"

Xue An did not dwell on this matter and changed the subject, "However, there is something you need to pay attention to!"

"Sir, please feel free to instruct!"

"This Shi Chang and his son founded an organization called the Shura Hall in their lifetimes. Even though it doesn’t hold much power, it’s still a hidden threat. Now that they’re dead, I’ll leave this matter to you to handle!"

Xu Ling’an’s expression turned solemn, "Understood, I will handle it properly."

Xue An nodded, about to add a few more instructions, when a quarrel suddenly arose nearby.

Xue An turned his head to see the Ren family head, Ren Butong, entangling with Ren Ning.

Upon seeing this scene, Xue An’s expression turned cold.

Xu Ling’an, being astute, naturally noticed this and hurriedly whispered, "Sir, shall I go and resolve it?"

Back when Xu Ling’an was still the lord of Ling’an, Ren Butong was already managing the Ren family, and having been his subordinate, they had interacted a few times.

Thus, Xu Ling’an was well aware of Ren Butong’s despicable nature and offered to resolve the matter himself.

Xue An shook his head, "No need. Some things must be experienced and faced by oneself; others’ help is always temporary."

Saying this, even Xue An stood quietly watching and did not intervene.

He wanted to see what choice Ren Ning would make when confronted by his former father.
