Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny IBWASFM

Chapter 353: Chapter 352: Nanyang Curse (4th update)
Ah Fei suddenly called out to him again, “Wait, what did that person look like?”

“He looked rustic and was even wearing clothes that seemed to be made of homespun. Oh, right, he also said he was from the valley!” The man had not finished speaking.

When Ah Fei had already run out of sight.

“Brother Fei!” The man didn’t know what was happening and shouted hurriedly.

“Come back, I’ll take care of you!” Ah Fei yelled without looking back.

By the time he reached the gate and saw Lu Xia, all the defiance on Ah Fei’s face had vanished, replaced by utmost compliance and reverence.

“Gu Master!” Ah Fei opened the iron gate, speaking with immense respect.

With a smile, Lu Xia said, “I was thinking of calling you, but then I forgot your number. Luckily, I had this note and asked for directions on my way here!”

Ah Fei eagerly took the parcel from Lu Xia’s hand and diligently led the way.

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

No one had ever seen the notorious Brother Fei so submissive before.

The thin-faced, monkey-cheeked man was trembling with fear.

Could this unsophisticated man be someone of great importance?

When they arrived at a clean, unoccupied room, Ah Fei knelt down reverently, “Gu Master, do you have any business in Xiangjiang?”

Lu Xia waved his hand, “We’re not in the valley, so no need for such formalities. I came to Xiangjiang this time for an item!”

“Is it the one from the auction?” asked Ah Fei.

“Eh, how do you know about it?”

“I have a friend who knows several esteemed individuals from Xiangjiang, and they have all mentioned the auction. Moreover, they said that Long Guanyu, with his rising fame, is also here for that item.”

Lu Xia smiled, “That item is of greater importance to the Nanyang sorcery lineage, so naturally, he would come!”

“Yes!” Ah Fei bowed and responded.

After studying him for a moment, Lu Xia frowned slightly, “How is your Gu path doing? Show me!”

Ah Fei shivered and, with some trepidation, performed his innate Gu technique.

A small jade-green snake appeared in the room, greatly lowering the room’s temperature.

Lu Xia frowned, “Is that all?”

Ah Fei nodded with a wry smile.

“If you don’t make progress with your Gu path, your life’s work will be utterly wasted!” Lu Xia said with a hint of frustration.

Ah Fei kept his head bowed, saying nothing.

“Alright, there are still a few days until the auction, I will teach you Gu magic,” Lu Xia declared.

Ah Fei’s face showed distress, yet he dared not refuse and nodded, “Yes!”

When Xue An’s family and Song Yi arrived in Xiangjiang.

The welcome was extremely grand.

However, many were there for Song Yi.

As for Xue An, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he had used a technique to disguise the appearances of himself, An Yan, and their two daughters.

So they appeared to be just an ordinary family of four.

After all, one couldn’t always be on guard against causing a sensation whenever going out.

Nevertheless, this still attracted many curious glances.

Many were puzzled why this family would be seen with Song Yi.

Could they be relatives of Master Song?

Many speculated.

When they had just returned to the hotel.

Invitations from over a dozen prestigious families were delivered, hosting a banquet to treat Song Yi to a welcoming feast.

Xue An laughed, “It seems you have quite the reputation in Xiangjiang!”

Song Yi gave a bitter smile, “These noble families are only so deferential because of your formidable prowess, sir. At most, I’m just a spokesperson.”

On the side, Xue Xiang asked, “Dad, what’s a spokesperson?”

“You don’t even know what a spokesperson is, you’re so dumb! A spokesperson is just a person with ‘salt’!” Xue Xiang said.

“Oh! So that’s what it is!” Xue Nian nodded.

Xue An and An Yan couldn’t help but feel a mixture of amusement and exasperation upon hearing this.

And Song Yi was trying his best not to burst out laughing.

Evening.

In front of the Blairton Hotel.

“Sister Xiaoqing, we’re here!” the agent said.

Gong Xiaoqing was lost in thought and only managed an “Ah” after a while.

“Sister Xiaoqing, are you okay?” the agent asked with great concern.

“I’m fine!” Gong Xiaoqing said with a pale face, shaking her head.

Then she got out of the car.

She always felt extremely irritable today, as if something was always following her.

Especially when she closed her eyes, many gruesome and terrifying ghosts would appear in her mind.

This feeling was simply awful.

“Miss Gong, hello!” Just then, a handsome man approached her with a smile.

Gong Xiaoqing mustered her spirits for a look at the man, then nodded, “Oh, it’s Mr. Zhang!”

Zhang Dong was a newly famous actor in Xiangjiang, known alongside Gong Xiaoqing as two rising stars.

This time, the banquet hosted by over a dozen wealthy families also included an invitation to them.

Zhang Dong’s gaze swept over Gong Xiaoqing’s slender waist before he smiled and said, “Miss Gong, why do you look so pale?”

“Maybe I haven’t rested well these past few days!” Gong Xiaoqing replied then walked inside.

She was not very fond of Zhang Dong.

As a fellow industry insider, she had heard plenty of Zhang Dong’s scandalous news and knew him to be a playboy. Naturally, she wanted to keep her distance.

However, Zhang Dong clearly had no intention of letting Gong Xiaoqing go so easily and followed her inside.

“I watched a play Miss Gong starred in when she first debuted a while ago, and it was really good! Especially that scene in the middle—it was truly breathtaking,” Zhang Dong said with a smile.

Gong Xiaoqing’s expression turned awkward.

Indeed, when she first debuted, she did act in some not-so-mainstream films.

She had been trying hard to shake off this stain on her career, only to have it brought up by Zhang Dong today.

“What do you mean by that, Mr. Zhang?” Gong Xiaoqing asked, barely containing her anger.

Zhang Dong shrugged, “Nothing much, I was just praising Miss Gong’s acting skills!”

“Sorry, but I don’t think Mr. Zhang and I are that familiar with each other! Please show some respect!” With that, Gong Xiaoqing walked ahead, fuming.

Zhang Dong watched her retreating figure, a sinister smile creeping onto his face.

“Heh, just a bitch playing high and mighty.”

Today’s banquet was very grand.

It was attended by people from noble families and also by celebrities like Zhang Dong and Gong Xiaoqing.

People were gathered in groups, chatting away, with Zhang Dong moving effortlessly between the small circles, like a fish in water.

But when Song Yi made his entrance, everyone greeted him with smiles.

“Mr. Song!”

“Master Song!”

Song Yi nodded and smiled.

And following by his side, Xue An was ignored by everyone.

After all, the current Xue An was very inconspicuous and couldn’t draw anyone’s attention.

Even the usually prideful Zhang Dong changed his expression to one of flattery at the sight of Song Yi and hurried over.

“Master Song, I am Zhang Dong, I have always admired your expertise in Feng Shui.”
