Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2899: Chapter 2900: Speculation

But Xue An did not plan to let her go just like that. He stepped forward coldly and said:

"Or are you feeling qualified to criticize me?"

Tang Xiao retreated repeatedly, her eyes reddening, almost shedding tears.

Since childhood, she had never felt so wronged.

Although her parents passed away early, with her brother’s protection, she had always lived well. Upon joining the Qi Si Poetry Society, she became almost like the group’s favorite.

But for some reason, ever since she met this Xue An, life hadn’t been good.

Now, being reprimanded like this made Tang Xiao feel extremely upset, but her strong character made her hold back tears, not wanting to cry in front of Xue An.

Though Tuan’er was angry about Tang Xiao’s previous words, seeing her pitiful appearance softened her heart.

After all, having spent so many days together, Tuan’er knew Tang Xiao’s nature wasn’t bad, just a bit wilful, speaking without thinking.

She approached Xue An timidly and said, "Sir, actually Miss Tang meant no harm, she was just too worried about you, hence spoke hastily! Please forgive her this once!"

Xue An turned to Tuan’er with a slight smile, "Alright!"

Then, without even glancing at Tang Xiao, he turned and left.

Tang Xiao had been holding back tears, secretly warning herself not to cry in front of this guy.

But when she saw Xue An’s icy demeanor towards her yet so gentle and smiling to Tuan’er, she couldn’t help but feel her grievance pour out relentlessly.

Tears fell rapidly, unable to stop them.

Yun Lingxuan sighed softly at the scene, gracefully walked beside Tang Xiao, and handed her a handkerchief.

"Don’t be sad!"

"I’m not sad, I just got sand in my eye!" Tang Xiao stubbornly said.

Yun Lingxuan, of course, wouldn’t expose this clumsy lie, as it might be Tang Xiao’s last shred of dignity.

She just sighed lightly and then remained silent.

Xue An didn’t leave but sat in a chair, sipping the hot tea that Tuan’er served him, casually chatting.

Even this bland conversation amused Tuan’er, making her smile brightly.

Yun Lingxuan doubted that even if Xue An said nothing and simply sat there, silly Tuan’er would still laugh by herself.

Yet, Yun Lingxuan didn’t mock this but felt envy instead.

Compared to Tuan’er’s straightforward and simple nature, it seemed like the rest of them were living too burdened.

While she was silently reflecting, Xue An suddenly looked up and slightly smiled at her.

"Miss Yun, look what this is!"

With that, Xue An reached out and took out something.

A half piece of an ancient mirror, covered in cloud patterns and shining brilliantly.

Seeing this, Yun Lingxuan trembled all over, "This is...?"

"Yes, it’s the Celestial Mirror!"

Yun Lingxuan’s eyes revealed a mesmerized expression as she murmured to herself.

"It’s truly beautiful!"

Back then, Yun Lingxuan had a piece of the Celestial Mirror’s fragment, which she later handed to Xue An for fusion.

Xue An had said he would collect all the fragments to merge them into one.

Yun Lingxuan also had this thought, but knowing the difficulty, she didn’t pay much attention.

But in just a few days, the Celestial Mirror in Xue An’s hand clearly grew significantly.

The previous Celestial Mirror was only a small portion, now it was a complete half.

Actually, not only she but Tuan’er and Tang Xiao were also astonished by the Celestial Mirror.

Even though they didn’t understand its mysteries, they could tell the ancient mirror was extraordinary.

Yun Lingxuan took a deep breath, "Did Master merge it again?"

Xue An nodded, "Indeed!"

Then Xue An roughly recounted his journey into the Palace of Light and Netherworld Ghost Market.

Upon hearing that Xue An had such an adventurous encounter, even diving into other dimensions and rescuing countless beings to obtain a precious fragment.

Tang Xiao, despite her bias against Xue An, had to admit this guy indeed possessed great prowess.

But what attracted most wasn’t this, but the matter told by Jin Shanquan.

Especially the mysterious time loop that left Tuan’er baffled, sensing its greatness. She couldn’t help but ask:

"Sir, according to your saying, is the culprit behind the time loop a piece of the mirror fragment?"

"I’m only speculating, the facts will be known only once we go there!"

From the moment he heard Jin Shanquan’s recounting, Xue An understood the so-called treasure was likely a Celestial Mirror fragment.

As for the time loop, it was the manifestation of the fragment’s rule.

This speculation was reasonable.

Previously, all Celestial Mirror fragments Xue An acquired possessed unique rules despite their varied sizes.

And the treasure’s fragment might contain the power of time.

"What? Are you really going, sir? Isn’t that too dangerous?" Tuan’er’s face turned pale.

Just from Xue An’s narration, Tuan’er could sense the terror of the treasure.

Especially the bizarre time loop, requiring mutual killing to escape, showcasing its peril.

Xue An chuckled, "Don’t worry, although the time loop sounds mystical, it’s not a problem for me!"

Tuan’er wanted to dissuade him, but seeing Xue An’s calm demeanor, she closed her mouth.

Because she understood Xue An had made up his mind, saying anything would be futile now.

"I came here just to let you know, stay well here, tell Wu Jun and Duan Muguang about anything, once I retrieve this fragment, I’ll send you back."

After Xue An spoke, he stood up and walked out.

Tuan’er wanted to keep Xue An a bit longer, but her gentle nature made her see him off eagerly.

Though as she passed by Tang Xiao with Xue An, she suddenly heard Tang Xiao in a low voice:

"I’m sorry!"

Tuan’er thought she had heard wrong.

Seeing Tang Xiao lift her head, take a deep breath, and say to Xue An: "I’m sorry again!"

"I was too willful before, I was wrong!"

Tuan’er was stunned.

She knew Tang Xiao’s temper quite well.

For her to admit wrongdoing or apologize was nearly impossible.

Thus, hearing Tang Xiao’s words, she was utterly amazed.

Yet, Xue An didn’t seem surprised at all.

If Tang Xiao still remained stubborn after being reprimanded, Xue An had intended to give her a hard lesson.

As Xue An wouldn’t spoil just because Tang Xiao was female.

But now, Tang Xiao wasn’t truly foolish, at least she realized her mistake.

Looking at the flushed face and teary-eyed girl before him, Xue An gave a faint smile.

"It’s good to know you’ve erred! Wait for my return!"

With that, Xue An strode away, leaving the three women inside to look at each other.

Tuan’er suddenly slapped her forehead, "Ah, I forgot to ask when Master will return!"
