Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2932: Chapter 2933: Late-Night Visit, Oblivious to Romance

Xue An had actually anticipated this answer for a long time.

The cultivation world, in a certain sense, is just like nature, where survival favors the fittest governed by natural selection.

This is especially true for Great Sun Island, where sects and noble families are most concentrated.

The Wu Family, as a top noble family, stands at the pinnacle of the food chain, possessing unimaginable resources and authority.

Other small noble families, to survive in this harsh environment, must cling to such colossal entities like the Wu Family, living off the resources that slip through its fingers.

This is like a kind of domesticated relationship, where the Wu Family treats these small noble families as pets, and if something happens, these small families are the first to be sacrificed.

These women here are living examples of this.

Previously, they might have been pampered daughters within their own families, enjoying happy lives, but just because of a word from the Wu Family, they had to come here and play a humiliating role.

Yet, they dared not express any dissatisfaction, and when unable to complete a task, they were more afraid and anxious than anyone else.

This scenario where those in high positions take as they please while those in low positions dare not resist is commonplace in the cultivation world, at least on Great Sun Island.

This is evident from Wu Nianyin’s attitude.

Is Wu Nianyin a bad person?

Through this period of interaction, Xue An did not find Wu Nianyin to be a bad person.

On the contrary, he had many merits.

But, only when dealing with these maidservants, he behaved with utter coldness and ruthlessness, treating them like commodities to be traded at will.

This attitude evidently comes from habit.

Perhaps Wu Nianyin’s ancestors had always treated these small noble families this way, so he did not find it wrong.

Xue An was deep in thought when he heard the cautious inquiry of a maidservant who had spoken earlier, "Sir... Sir, you..."

Her heart was very tense because this youthful-looking young man in white, noble beyond words, was sitting in the chair quietly without speaking.

This silence made her heart almost leap out, so she boldly asked aloud.

Xue An looked at this rather brave woman and smiled slightly.

"Alright, all of you may withdraw! If you’re afraid that Wu Nianyin might find trouble with you later and don’t dare to leave, then find a room to rest in this courtyard!"

Upon hearing Xue An’s words, these maidservants felt relieved, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said in unison, "Thank you, Sir!"

This thanks was heartfelt because Xue An’s gesture genuinely saved their lives.

Xue An waved his hand to indicate they could leave.

These women retreated, but some did not leave.

For instance, the rather brave woman remained standing in place.

Xue An glanced at her, "Is there anything else?"

The woman gritted her teeth and said, "Sir, actually I can stay to serve you, and I assure you it is completely voluntary...."

Such words were indeed quite difficult for a woman to say, even for one as bold as she, and after speaking, her face turned red with embarrassment.

Xue An merely smiled faintly, "No need, I don’t require such service from you, go rest!"

"Oh!" The woman responded softly, then left somewhat disappointed.

Truthfully, the moment she saw Xue An, she was captivated by his appearance and demeanor.

At that time, she thought serving such a noble young man might not be unacceptable.

Yet, unexpectedly, her initiative was refused, so she left feeling ashamed.

After all the women left the room, Shu Jingchu said faintly, "I couldn’t tell, you’re quite empathetic!"

Xue An chuckled, "I wouldn’t say empathetic, merely unwilling to let my whims harm the innocent!"

"Of course, I could readily accept them, but that would betray my true intentions! I could also heartlessly drive them all out, but that would just push these women into the abyss of death."

"Just a trivial gesture can rescue them from danger, why wouldn’t I do it?"

Upon hearing Xue An’s explanation, Shu Jingchu remained silent, then looked at Xue An as if seeing him for the first time, scrutinizing him for a long time.

"What are you looking at?" Xue An asked.

"I always thought that once people achieve a certain cultivation level, they stop being human, but I’m glad you’re not like that, because at least you haven’t lost your empathy!"

Xue An laughed heartily, "Alright, go and rest!"

Shu Jingchu and Jin Shanquan left.

The room returned to its quiet state.

Xue An intended to visit his wife and children in the Divine Thought Space, but at that moment, his surroundings wavered, followed by the sound of jewelry clinking from the courtyard echoing around him.

"Is the gentleman in? A humble woman comes to pay respects, hoping for a meeting!"

Xue An was momentarily taken aback, then a curious expression appeared on his face, but he did not get up and instead calmly said, "Since you’re already in the courtyard, why not come inside?"

"Then I shall intrude!"

With the sound, a graceful figure walked into the room.

Before she arrived, a fragrant breeze swept in.

Xue An slightly raised his eyebrow.

The visitor was none other than Wu Qiao Jun.

This time, she had already taken off her daytime mourning clothes and donned an ornate outfit instead.

Her face was meticulously adorned with radiant beauty, complementing her graceful figure, exuding astonishing allure in this peaceful night.

Xue An felt a stirring within but already understood most of what was happening, though he showed no outward reaction, only saying calmly, "What brings you here late at night, Madam Wu?"

Wu Qiao Jun beamed, "It’s nothing important, just I have nothing to do deep into the night, so I came to chat with you!"

A noble clan’s lady, visiting a man’s room in the dead of night just to talk.

This just sounded so unreliable.

Xue An merely smiled faintly, "Oh? Then Madam, please feel free to speak!"

Wu Qiao Jun gave Xue An a glance that was half-jealous and half-resentful, thinking how this young man was so oblivious to romance.

She risked so much, even using a secret technique to shield any visitors, and he asked what she wanted to talk about.

But to successfully win over this super expert, Wu Qiao Jun still smiled radiantly and said.

"Not much, just wanted to ask if you are comfortable staying here and if there is anything you need help with?"

Xue An looked meaningfully at Wu Qiao Jun, "Oh, if you put it that way, I do have one thing I need Madam’s help with!"

"No matter what, speak freely, I am committed to helping you to the fullest!" Wu Qiao Jun said promptly.

"It’s late, and the courtyard door is still open. I’m too lazy to move, so if Madam could close it on your way out, thanks!"
