Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2913: Chapter 2914: The Strong Need Not Speak Much

Could there be some trick in this?

Born suspicious, that thought flashed through his mind in an instant.

But he quickly tossed those ideas to the back of his head.

He didn’t believe Ren Ning and the others had any chance to turn things around at this point.

So he let out a cold laugh and said, "President Lu really knows how to read the situation!"

As he spoke, Kou Cangfeng turned to Ren Ning again. "Ren Ning, now there’s no one left to help you. Hand over the compensation obediently and get out of Xihua City. This is the last shred of dignity I’m giving you!"

"Otherwise..."

Kou Cangfeng was just about to spit a few harsh words to show off.

But at that moment, a calm voice, carrying an innate supreme authority, rang out.

"Otherwise what?"

It was only four simple words, yet the entire venue shook.

Ren Ning’s whole body trembled, then wild joy flooded her face.

Lu Hui, however, let out a sigh in his heart, then lifted his head to look into the sky.

Not just him—everyone turned at the same time toward where the voice had come from.

Then they saw a stream of radiance tear open the heavens, descending from the sky and landing before the crowd in a blink.

When the radiance faded, the one standing in front was Xue An.

In an instant, the whole place fell into a dead silence.

Many faces turned to panic, all their earlier arrogance utterly gone.

They had all assumed Xue An was already dead out in the void.

It was precisely because of that that they had dared to follow Kou Cangfeng’s instigation and come here to shout and posture.

Who would have thought that at this critical moment, he’d actually make it back.

Not only did he make it back, but judging from the dense, unscattered pressure around him, he had clearly broken through again.

More importantly, since he was back, didn’t that mean the spacetime Giant Serpent Shuming had already lost?

At that thought, many faces went pale.

But unlike their panic, Ren Ning, Sheng Hongqian and the others were practically hysterical with joy and rushed over at once.

"Master!"

"Young Lord!"

"My lord!"

All kinds of titles flew out at once.

Xue An met them all with a faint smile, but it was obvious he showed special favor to Ren Ning.

He looked at Ren Ning’s cheeks, covered in tears, and said mildly, "Stop crying. I’m back now. No one can bully you anymore."

Ren Ning nodded heavily, but the tears just wouldn’t stop.

Xue An knew she wouldn’t be able to calm her emotions for a while, so he didn’t bother, and instead turned to look at Lu Hui.

By now, Tang Zheng had already spotted his sister Tang Xiao, who had returned alongside Xue An, and was itching to rush over.

But Tang Xiao didn’t hurry over; instead she stood where she was, smiling, as if waiting to watch a good show.

"You’d already sensed I was back, hadn’t you?" Xue An asked.

Lu Hui nodded.

"Then if I’d just happened not to make it back at this exact moment?" Xue An asked again.

Lu Hui didn’t hesitate, and answered blandly, "Then I’d have stood aside and watched. Anyway, I don’t believe you’d fail to foresee a situation like this."

Xue An laughed. "You little bastard, you’re really sly, aren’t you?"

With that said, he finally turned leisurely to look at Kou Cangfeng.

At this moment Kou Cangfeng’s face was deathly pale.

Because he knew it was over.

Completely over.

Don’t be fooled by how righteous these academies sounded when he was goading them on. Kou Cangfeng understood these people’s nature all too well.

They’re fine with fighting when the wind’s in their favor. The instant things turn against them, they retreat faster than anyone.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of resisting.

But faced with Xue An, he couldn’t even raise the slightest thought of resistance in his heart.

Kou Cangfeng understood this was because the gap in strength was simply too vast.

But he was ruthless too; knowing he couldn’t escape, he simply clenched his teeth, met Xue An’s amused gaze head-on, and said coldly,

"Xue An, you’ve come back just in time. Don’t you think you owe everyone an explanation for what happened before?"

"An explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?" Xue An didn’t rush to act, instead smiled as he spoke.

"That Shuming clearly came because of you. That battle ended up spreading wildly and harming a huge number of innocents. How do you account for that?"

Once he’d thrown caution to the wind, Kou Cangfeng’s thoughts became very sharp, and his words turned quite cutting.

At the very least, his speech made many people turn to Xue An, wanting to see how he would respond.

After all, what Kou Cangfeng said wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

If not for Xue An, Shuming wouldn’t have appeared. If it hadn’t appeared, that great battle wouldn’t have broken out.

Xue An fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Seconds ticked by.

The crowd began to stir restlessly.

Even Sheng Hongqian looked anxious.

She couldn’t understand why Xue An was wasting words with someone like Kou Cangfeng—wouldn’t it be simpler to just kill him outright?

Lu Hui, however, didn’t look anxious at all. He even folded his arms, watching with a half-smile.

He wanted to hear how Xue An would answer this.

After all, back then Xue An had blown up the headquarters of the Qisi Poetry Society.

Granted, afterward he’d ordered Ren Ning to send over the Wenshan Fire Seed, so the Qisi Poetry Society’s legacy hadn’t been cut off, but there still had to be some sort of explanation, didn’t there?

And just as people’s hearts were beginning to waver, Xue An let out a faint sigh.

"Stupid. Stupid beyond measure."

Kou Cangfeng rejoiced inwardly, convinced his words had stumped Xue An.

So when he heard Xue An, he couldn’t help sneering, "Are you calling yourself stupid?"

Xue An lifted his eyes and glanced at Kou Cangfeng, and in that instant, he blocked whatever Kou Cangfeng was going to say next.

"I’m saying you are stupid. Granted, Shuming did come because of me, but the responsibility for that battle should be laid at its feet, not mine."

Under the force of that earlier gaze, Kou Cangfeng was momentarily unable to speak at all.

Xue An continued slowly, unhurried, "In truth, I shouldn’t have to explain anything to you. A strong man has no need for many words—especially not to ants as short-sighted as you lot."

"But since you asked, I’ll tell you. There is indeed enmity between me and Shuming, but the premise is that it committed countless evils. I came to eradicate it, and conflict arose as a result."

"The root of all this lies with Shuming, not me. So no matter how many people died, it’s because of Shuming. Understand?"

Kou Cangfeng stammered, "Th-this is nothing but your side of the story!"

"Heh. I’ve noticed that the weak especially love to use some strange kind of public-opinion logic to morally blackmail others. Particularly in matters like this—obviously one side strikes first, but when the humiliated side rises up in counterattack, people aim their accusations at the side that was humiliated, and keep yapping, demanding some so-called explanation."

"What do you think?"

This time Kou Cangfeng’s fire was completely snuffed out—not just because of Xue An’s aura, but because he simply had no way to refute these words.

Xue An’s smile remained, but the killing intent in his eyes was growing clearer. "What is Kou Zhengfeng to you?"

"My brother."

"I thought so. Real blood brothers—your methods are exactly the same. You egged on Min Yi to seek profit for yourself. Do you realize your mistakes now?"

Kou Cangfeng nodded, and the light in his eyes went out.

"Then knowing your mistakes, go die."
