Chapter 1269: Chapter 1266: Sheng Family’s Daughter, Relentless Pursuit (5th Update)

As soon as the word “scram” was uttered, the elderly man hadn’t reacted before he felt as if he had been punched front-on, and was directly sent flying.

It took him considerable effort to stabilize his form, and then he looked towards Xue An with a face full of shock.

Because he hadn’t even clearly seen how Xue An had struck him.

Xue An, however, did not even glance at him, and indifferently said: “Let’s go.”

Saying this, he then intended to lead Xing Yushu away.

Despite the fear in his heart, the elderly servant still sternly shouted: “Stop him!”

Figures flashed, and then a team of elite cultivators blocked Xue An’s path, staring at him and Xing Yushu with fierce determination.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

Xue An smiled faintly, then, unaffected, continued to walk forward.

Just as a great battle was about to erupt, a majestic radiance descended from the sky.

A huge Flying Boat slowly emerged in front of everyone.

Upon seeing this Flying Boat, the elderly servant and all his subordinates respectfully retreated half a step and bowed.

“What’s going on?” A slightly childish female voice asked, clearly very delicate and charming.

Then, the radiance fluctuated in front of the Flying Boat, and a slender figure slowly emerged.

When the light dissipated, there appeared a young girl, still young but already as delicate as a flower.

Upon seeing this young girl, the old man bent even deeper and spoke with a voice tinged with fear: “Second Miss, this man insisted on forcing his way through, I was worried he would disturb you, and was about to capture him!”

Saying so, the elderly man raised his hand and pointed towards Xue An not far away.

“Oh?” The young girl paused upon hearing this, followed his pointing and looked towards Xue An, then was momentarily taken aback.

As the Second Miss of the Sheng Family, Sheng Miaotong usually saw none but men of exceptional appearance, and her standards were naturally very high.

However, upon seeing Xue An today, she suddenly understood what it meant to say that a man in the street could be a noble jade, unmatched in this world!

If a young man was to be considered handsome, he must possess a bit of femininity, but this could easily make one appear overly soft, thereby losing manly vigor.

At least, that’s how all the so-called handsome men she typically saw were.

But Xue An was different.

Despite his pale complexion and beautiful features, he had not a trace of feminine softness.

On the contrary, even as he simply stood there, he exuded a natural nobility.

This air made even the lofty Sheng Miaotong feel somewhat ashamed of herself.

Therefore, she couldn’t help but stand transfixed on the spot.

Just then, the elderly servant came close, his face full of malicious intensity as he glared at Xue An, then fawningly said to Sheng Miaotong: “Second Miss, you needn’t be angry, leave this ignorant fellow to me, I will make sure he understands today…”

He didn’t finish speaking, because he stopped mid-sentence.

Because he was shocked to find that the usually haughty Second Miss was actually smiling gently, graciously walking up to the young man in white, and then bowed deeply.

“I have seen the young master!”

This behavior was something the old servant had never seen before.

But he was no fool, almost in an instant, he had sobered up and deeply lowered his head, no longer daring to speak another word.

Meanwhile, as Sheng Miaotong approached closer to Xue An, she couldn’t help but praise in her heart.

What an extraordinary young man!

Thus, she involuntarily reined in her usual haughtiness and very ladylike, returned a salute to Xue An.

Xue An, however, remained noncommittal, merely looked at her once, then slightly nodded his head as a token of acknowledgment.

If it were someone else acting so arrogantly, this Sheng Miaotong might have exploded on the spot.

Yet oddly enough, when she saw Xue An do this, Sheng Miaotong felt delight instead of anger, and instead smiled charmingly and said: “Young master, please excuse me, these servitors of mine are indeed too arrogant usually, I will surely reprimand them severely once we return!”

As she spoke, she turned and shouted at the old servant, “Come and apologize now!”

“Yes!” The old servant inwardly groaned but dared not resist and reluctantly came over to apologize repeatedly.

Xue An gently shook his head and said indifferently, “No need!”

Having said that, he then prepared to leave with Xing Yushu.

Seeing this, Sheng Miaotong hurriedly took a step forward and blocked their way.

“Hmm?” Xue An slightly furrowed his brows, already feeling somewhat annoyed.

Sheng Miaotong’s eyes darted around, then she smiled and said, “Young master, by the looks of you two, are you going to attend the mountain opening ceremony?”

The mountain opening ceremony again!

Xue An’s heart stirred slightly, then he silently nodded.

“What if we are!”

Sheng Miaotong’s eyes lit up, not at all angered by Xue An’s demeanor, instead she smiled and said, “What a coincidence, I am also attending the mountain opening ceremony. Since we’ve met, it must be fate, why not travel together? It would be nice to have some company on the road! What do you say?”

Xue An was unmoved and said indifferently, “Thanks, but it’s not necessary!”

Without giving Sheng Miaotong a chance to speak, he immediately led Xing Yushu away from there and headed straight to the distant city.

Enraged, Sheng Miaotong stomped her foot and glared hatefully at the departing figure of Xue An.

At this moment, the old servant saw this and once again came over, “Second Miss, this man is so unappreciative, why don’t we, once entering the city, deal with him…”

“Scram!” Sheng Miaotong unhesitatingly slapped him again.

This slap made the old man see stars.

Meanwhile, Sheng Miaotong stared intently at the distant city, murmuring softly, “Since childhood, there has been nothing I wanted that I couldn’t get, and you are no different!”

With that, a smug smile appeared on Sheng Miaotong’s face, and she gestured forward, “Let’s go!”

Without further ado, she took the lead and flew towards that city.

The crowd quickly followed suit and flew away.

Only the old servant was left behind, covering his cheek and standing dumbfounded, nearly on the verge of tears.

What kind of Immortal did I offend today? Just in this short time, how did I end up getting hit several times!

But no one cared about his distress.

At this time, Xue An had already flown into the city.

This was a huge city, which could certainly be described as extremely bustling.

After Xue An landed, he first found an inn to stay in.

And just as he had settled in,

Sheng Miaotong also led her people and arrived.

As soon as her presence was detected, the City Lord, along with many strong figures, hurriedly came out to greet her.

Because earlier, the Sheng Family had notified them that Sheng Miaotong would be arriving here soon and that they should prepare a reception.

Facing this top-notch influential family within the realm, the City Lord naturally did not dare to show the slightest defiance.

But he did not expect Sheng Miaotong to arrive so soon, thus the reception was somewhat delayed, causing him to be truly anxious and fearful.

“Miss Sheng, I will immediately lock down this city, serving only you!” the City Lord trembled as he spoke.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Miaotong glared and then coldly said, “No need!”

Having said that, she no longer paid attention to these people and directly walked onto the main street.

The City Lord and his people were all stunned in place, not understanding what had happened.

At that moment, Sheng Miaotong suddenly turned her head to add, “Also, you don’t need to arrange accommodations for me! Moreover, unless I call for you, you should not come over to disturb me!”
