Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2811: Chapter 2812: Surprisingly Professional, Huh!

The patterns and aura on this Ancient Mirror shard are exactly the same as before, making Tang Xiao doubt if she had just seen it wrong.

Clearly, it had melted into two pools of liquid in the flames, so how did it return to its original state in the blink of an eye?

She didn’t realize that Xue An hadn’t truly melted the two pieces of the Ancient Mirror; he had only used a special fire to extract the divine sense within the shards.

To put it simply, what had melted just now wasn’t the shards themselves but the divine sense inside them.

Now, everything returned to silence.

Xue An reached out to take the large shard of the Ancient Mirror, examining it with a calm expression.

The fusion went smoothly.

After all, the innate nature of such ancient artifacts dictates that they have an instinct to merge with each other.

So even without Xue An’s intervention, these two shards would eventually fuse on their own.

What concerned him now was whether that chatterbox spirit still existed.

After examining it for a long time, he found the shard to be very quiet, with a hint of submission within, indicating success.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his lips, then he leisurely set down the shard of the Ancient Mirror, and said calmly,

"Have you seen enough?"

Just those four simple words hit Tang Xiao’s ears like a thunderclap from the blue.

What’s happening?

Did he really discover me, or is he bluffing?

He must be bluffing!

Yes!

It must be so!

Tang Xiao tried to convince herself as she stood still, unmoving.

She wanted to gamble, to bet that Xue An hadn’t noticed her.

But this faint hope was quickly shattered.

Because the next second, Xue An said casually, "I’ve known since the moment you entered Xiyue Inn, so how long do you think you can keep hiding?"

Saying that, Xue An raised his eyes to look toward Tang Xiao.

The slightly mocking gaze in his calm demeanor made Tang Xiao’s scalp tingle.

"Am I right, Miss Tang?"

Being called out by name so directly by Xue An, Tang Xiao knew she was completely exposed, which was laughable since she had just been quietly proud, thinking Xue An hadn’t noticed her.

The truth was he had known all along, he just hadn’t mentioned it.

At this point, hiding any longer was meaningless.

She had no choice but to reveal herself.

When Xue An saw Tang Xiao dressed in full black night attire, he chuckled lightly.

"Quite professional, aren’t you!"

Tang Xiao found the remark particularly grating, but she couldn’t even muster a single retort.

After all, she had been caught in the act.

It was like a thief being caught red-handed; how could she explain it away?

So she remained silent.

Xue An easily noticed her embarrassment, but he had no intention of excusing the girl who had sneaked into his room to spy. Leaning back in his chair, he asked in a calm tone,

"Tell me, what was the grand objective of your infiltration?"

Tang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then steeled herself, "I was here to find evidence of your plagiarism!"

"Oh? Evidence of plagiarism?" Xue An slightly raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, you killed Kou Zhengfeng in the street, although you temporarily suppressed external doubts, I always believe one thing: wrong is wrong, and no one can change that!"

Looking at the serious-minded Tang Xiao, Xue An paused in silence before speaking, "So you snuck in here?"

"Exactly, with the Grand Literary Conference approaching, if you plan to plagiarize, you would certainly prepare in advance, so I came to find this evidence!"

"Did you find it?" Xue An asked with a light smile.

Tang Xiao shook her head, "No!"

"Of course not, because the poems I plagiarized came from here!"

As he spoke, Xue An tapped his temple.

Tang Xiao said nothing, but the defiance in her eyes told the whole story.

Xue An chuckled, "It seems you’re quite dissatisfied! Do you think that even if I caught you sneaking in, I can’t do anything to you?"

Tang Xiao snorted coldly, "I admit my tactics were a bit shady, but my intentions were good, so..."

"So having good intentions allows you to act recklessly?"

Xue An interrupted Tang Xiao’s words with a cold question.

Tang Xiao was stunned, while Xue An continued on.

"So, according to your reasoning, does that mean anyone can egregiously act under the guise of good intentions? Hmm?"

Tang Xiao was left speechless by the rebuttal, but after a while, she still said somewhat defiantly,

"I..."

Before her words could end, Xue An suddenly stood up and came directly in front of Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao was caught off guard by the sudden closeness, "What... what do you want to do?"

Speaking, she subconsciously retreated, but she forgot she had been standing in the corner all along, and after just a step, she was backed against the wall.

Xue An’s face was expressionless, blocking Tang Xiao before him, so close that she could even see her reflection in Xue An’s pupils.

At such a close distance, with just the two of them alone in the room, Tang Xiao’s heart inexplicably panicked.

"What do you want? I’m telling you, I’m a candidate scholar of Qisi Poetry Society, if you dare to act rashly, be careful or you may not be able to participate in the Grand Literary Conference."

In panic, Tang Xiao brought up this rationale.

But Xue An remained unmoved, merely looking at Tang Xiao coldly.

Until Tang Xiao grew more flustered and fell silent, he finally said calmly.

"Are you scared? If I now say that I just approached because I was worried about you, what would you think?"

Tang Xiao’s eyes widened.

"Would you also feel that since my intentions were good, you wouldn’t be at all angry?"

Tang Xiao was left wordless by the question, lowering her head deeply.

The room fell into silence until a moment later, Xue An said softly.

"Leave now."

"Hmm?"

Tang Xiao thought she had misheard and looked up at Xue An.

Xue An turned back towards the desk, "Hmm, what hmm? You think I would really keep you here? Don’t be ridiculous, with your capabilities, you’re not qualified to be considered a rival or enemy by me!"

At first, Tang Xiao was stunned, and then she was utterly enraged.

Because this was more infuriating than giving her a beating.

This was sheer disregard!

But to further counter Xue An’s words, she didn’t have the guts.

So, Tang Xiao could only glare menacingly at Xue An.

"Hope you won’t regret today’s words!"

Xue An didn’t even lift his head.

To him now, someone of Tang Xiao’s level didn’t warrant any attention.

A brief reminder was enough, the rest could be left to her, after all, she wouldn’t cause much trouble.

This total disregard, lacking even a simple response, infuriated Tang Xiao to the point where her teeth nearly gnashed to pieces.

She turned to leave.

A creak sounded as the door opened.

Coincidentally, Ren Ning, feeling uneasy, came over to the doorway and peered inside.

The two women came face to face.

Ren Ning was momentarily taken aback.

"You..."
