Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2922: Chapter 2923: Four Sects, Five Clans, Ten Major Factions

Shu Jingchu secretly observed the young man and noticed that when he bowed his head, a section of his fair and long neck was exposed, causing her to sigh inwardly.

This young man is indeed quite delicate!

Xue An, however, did not pay attention to these observations and simply said casually, "No need for courtesy. We just happened to pass through here and were attacked by these people, so we fought back."

Having said this, Xue An turned around to leave.

This left the young man a little anxious.

He had been secretly observing Xue An and his shock did not decrease but increased.

On the ship, he could not see Xue An’s face clearly due to the distance and the thick window, so he assumed the person who acted with such strength must be a successful middle-aged man.

Yet, unexpectedly, it was a young man who seemed about his own age.

Especially the face, not only incredibly handsome but also exuding a heroic spirit that impressed anyone who saw it.

Such a character, even this young man had never seen in his life, causing a thought to flash through his mind.

But before he could speak, Xue An turned to leave.

This was far beyond his expectation, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Benefactor, wait!"

"Is there something else?" Xue An paused slightly and said calmly.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said gravely, "Benefactor, I wish to hire you to escort me home!"

"Oh? Hire me?"

"Yes!" The young man nodded solemnly and then hurried to explain.

"Benefactor, please don’t misunderstand, my invitation is sincere. I am truly in a perilous situation. If it weren’t for your timely presence, I might have been killed, and the journey ahead is likely fraught with danger. For safety, I have no choice but to take this measure. Please don’t blame me!"

After speaking, the young man looked nervously at Xue An.

Xue An smiled, "Going by your words, it seems someone wants to harm you?"

The young man’s eyes showed a hint of hatred, "That’s right, and the person who wants to harm me is one of my closest relatives!"

At this, the young man no longer kept his secret and said in a low voice, "To be honest, I am from the Wu Family!"

"You’re from the Wu Family?" Jin Shanquan exclaimed in shock.

"What? You know of the Wu Family?" Xue An asked.

Jin Shanquan nodded, "Yes, the Wu Family is one of the five major families on Great Sun Island, quite powerful!"

The power structure of Great Sun Island is complex, but simply put, it can be summarized in one sentence: four sects, five families, ten factions.

And the Wu Family being one of the five major families shows how strong it is.

Who would have thought this youth, whose beauty was akin to a girl’s, was an heir of the Wu Family.

This was the reason for Jin Shanquan’s astonishment.

"Since you are from the Wu Family, why are you alone and ambushed?" Jin Shanquan couldn’t help but ask.

When he first came to Great Sun Island, he had contact with people from the five major families and understood the horror of these time-honored noble families.

Other than the four major sects, members of the five families were undoubtedly the rulers of Great Sun Island.

If this young man truly was from the Wu Family, even if he were a minor branch, he shouldn’t have fallen to such a state.

The young man fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly, "My name is Wu Nianyin!"

"Master!"

As soon as he introduced himself, the man who had been following him couldn’t help but call out.

The young man gestured for silence and looked frankly at Jin Shanquan across from him.

"Since you know the Wu Family, you should understand what this name implies."

Jin Shanquan was taken aback and began to mutter to himself, "Shao, Nian, Yong, Chang...."

Then he looked at the youth with a full face of astonishment, "You are the legitimate heir of the Wu Family this generation?"

Wu Nianyin nodded, "Yes! Not only the legitimate heir of this generation but the only legitimate heir!"

Towards the end, Wu Nianyin’s tone grew somewhat gloomy.

Jin Shanquan was puzzled, but he vaguely guessed something.

After all, it had been a long time since his last visit to Great Sun Island, and any changes over such a period were not surprising.

Sure enough.

Wu Nianyin spoke in a low voice, "My father was the current Family Head of the Wu Family, Wu Shaoyong, but last month, my father suddenly died!"

"At that time, I was studying outside, and by the time I learned of the news, he had been dead for ten days. I immediately returned, but strangely, I faced no less than ten obstacles along the way!"

"Each time seemed meticulously plotted, and I lost many elite followers. It was just enough to return to Great Sun Island, but shortly thereafter, I encountered an ambush from the Firearms Society. Without the benefactor’s intervention, I would have long been dead!"

"Therefore..." Jin Shanquan hesitated.

"Thus I suspect a great shift in the family has occurred. Someone doesn’t want me, the only legitimate heir, to return, hence the attempts at ambushing me!"

Speaking of which, anger appeared in Wu Nianyin’s beautiful eyes.

"But they underestimated my strength and luck; I still returned. Yet, I know the next stretch from here to the Wu Family will be most dangerous! Because those people will do anything to stop me!"

"Hence, I hope the benefactor will help me once more, escorting me home!"

Having said this, Wu Nianyin quietly watched Xue An, waiting for his reply.

Xue An examined this young man with a rather intriguing gaze before suddenly smiling, "Quite a cliché rich family drama, but if you want to hire me, it’s not impossible, provided what price can you offer?"

Wu Nianyin didn’t hesitate, "As long as I can successfully return to the Wu Family and regain power, I can grant you a tenth of the Wu Family’s wealth as compensation for escorting me!"

A tenth of the wealth doesn’t sound much, but given the Wu Family’s status as one of the five major families, their accumulated wealth is unimaginably vast, making a tenth an exceedingly formidable sum.

Xue An smiled faintly and then shook his head.

Wu Nianyin’s heart sank as Xue An shook his head.

In fact, this was the only solution he could think of now.

If Xue An refused to help him, he would most likely never see the Wu Family’s gate and instead perish en route.

But right then, Xue An held up two fingers and said calmly, "I don’t want a tenth of your wealth. I only need you to agree to two requests afterward!"

"What requests?"

"I can’t tell you right now, but they won’t exceed a tenth of the wealth!"

Wu Nianyin didn’t rush to agree but bowed his head to ponder earnestly before raising it seriously, "Alright, I promise that as long as it is done, I will unconditionally agree to your two requests!"
