Chapter 1385: Chapter 1382: Old Man, I’m Back (3rd Update)
However, Wan Henxin was very fond of her brother, Wan Gaoxing, and the two siblings shared a close bond.
This type of relationship was rare in the aristocratic families of the Ghost Race, where sibling rivalry often resulted in bloodshed.
This time, Wan Gaoxing set out to seek the Ancient Mirror, and Wan Henxin originally wanted to accompany him. Unfortunately, her lack of strength meant she couldn’t join.
As a result, she’s been throwing fits at home these past few days, injuring several maids in her fury.
Today was no exception. She was sulking in her room at the back when she suddenly heard news that Wan Gaoxing had returned and even brought back numerous people. She immediately jumped up with excitement and rushed over.
Upon seeing Wan Gaoxing, Wan Henxin hugged his arm and said coyly, "Brother! It’s been days, I’ve missed you to death!"
Xue An sneered internally but kept his composure on the surface. He raised his hand and pinched her cheek, "Alright! I’m back now, aren’t I?"
"Ah! Are these the people you captured?" Wan Henxin’s gaze fell upon the bound Ying Ning and others. She was initially stunned by the beauty of these women and then asked.
Xue An nodded, "That’s right!"
"Brother, you’re amazing!"
As she spoke, Wan Henxin leaned in closer, curiously scrutinizing the captives.
But after only observing for a short while, jealousy suddenly flickered in her eyes.
She realized that each of these women’s looks far surpassed her own, especially Que Wenyuan, whose pure demeanor stirred Wan Henxin’s heart despite being another woman.
In such a situation, Wan Henxin sneered coldly, "Just a bunch of floozies!"
With that, she raised her hand angrily and aimed a vicious slap at Que Wenyuan.
The slap carried the sound of rushing wind, brimming with force. If struck, Que Wenyuan’s face would undoubtedly be ruined.
Wan Henxin’s face lit up with satisfaction. But at that moment, Xue An suddenly appeared beside her, grabbing her arm and speaking coldly, "These people are mine; they’re still useful. Don’t mess around!"
Wan Henxin froze, seemingly shocked that her brother would stop her. But almost instantly, anger filled her heart.
"You’re stopping me for this cheap woman? Fine, then she must die!"
With that, she lashed out with a kick aimed directly at Que Wenyuan’s life.
But at that moment, Xue An raised his hand and slapped her across the face, sending Wan Henxin stumbling several steps back before she steadied herself.
The slap left the gathered servants at the entrance pale-faced, not daring to raise their heads.
Wan Henxin clutched her cheek, staring blankly at Xue An, "You... You dare hit me?"
Xue An retracted his hand, a trace of disdain flashing across the face he had disguised as Wan Gaoxing’s, "I do have use for these people, so don’t mess around!"
Wan Henxin was nearly driven mad with rage, sneering repeatedly, "Use? What use could they be? Isn’t it just for your own enjoyment? I..."
She didn’t get to finish her sentence, as Xue An raised his hand again.
Wan Henxin retreated several steps in fear.
As the two siblings confronted each other in the doorway, a loud laugh suddenly echoed from inside.
"Gaoxing, you’ve certainly lived up to expectations, returning so soon!"
A man with an imposing manner stepped out as he spoke.
Wan Henxin immediately softened her attitude and said obediently, "Father!"
The newcomer was the Wan Clan’s Family Head, Wan Taihui, father to Wan Gaoxing and Wan Henxin.
Of course, Xue An couldn’t truly address him as father. In reality, since boldly entering the city, Xue An had been silently searching the city through his Divine Sense, trying to locate what he needed.
Yet clearly, these foreign Ghost Race members weren’t fools; the item was well hidden.
On the surface, there appeared to be no anomalies.
But the more things seemed normal, the more Xue An understood there must be something hidden beneath. Otherwise, these Ghost Race members wouldn’t be so eager to obtain the Fang Ancient Mirror.
With this thought, Xue An casually formed a Dharma Seal with his fingers, sending a strand of Divine Sense silently into Wan Taihui’s sea of consciousness.
By rights, Wan Taihui was at least half a step into the Great Luo realm and wouldn’t be so easily invaded.
However, because Xue An was disguised as his only son, Wan Gaoxing, Wan Taihui lowered his guard and allowed Xue An to subtly alter parts of his soul.
"Old man, I’m back!" Xue An remarked calmly.
Hearing this address, Ying Ning, Que Wenyuan, and the others were all stunned.
This was practically an intentional reveal!
After all, Xue An was currently posing as Wan Gaoxing, the eldest young master of the Wan Clan.
What kind of son would call his father "old man"?
This was bad news!
They hadn’t been in the city long, and their identity was probably going to be exposed! Ying Ning was practically fuming.
But in the next moment, Wan Taihui’s reaction left everyone dumbfounded.
Wan Taihui seemed utterly delighted, as if he hadn’t heard the disrespectful term at all. Instead, he smiled warmly and said, "Good child, so polite! Are you tired?"
Everyone: "..."
Ning Caichen whispered to Nie Xiaoqian beside him, "Qian’er, is this how people in the Ghost Race address their fathers?"
Nie Xiaoqian was also a bit dazed but shook her head, "How could it be? But maybe these foreign Ghost Race members have such customs!"
Not mentioning everyone’s shock.
After an outpouring of concern, Wan Taihui glanced at the bound captives, his face showing a hint of surprise, "Gaoxing, what are your plans for handling these native Ghost Race members?"
Xue An spoke indifferently, "Old man, I plan to lock these people up in my place first, interrogate them thoroughly, and then decide what to do."
"Good! Good!" Wan Taihui showed a knowing smile that only men understand. He patted Xue An’s shoulder and said, "Just take care of yourself! By the way, there’s a banquet in Chuzhou City tomorrow night. Since you’re back, why not join us?"
After saying that, Wan Taihui left with a cheerful smile.
Wan Henxin shot a glance at Xue An, then a venomous look at Ying Ning and Que Wenyuan before stomping her foot in frustration and leaving as well.
Xue An frowned slightly.
A banquet? What kind of banquet?
Well, it’s fine. At least attending the banquet will allow him to look for more clues among the participants.
With that thought, Xue An waved his hand, "Take these people to my courtyard!"
"Yes!"
Soon.
The news that Wan Gaoxing, the Wan Clan’s eldest young master, had returned with numerous captives from the native Ghost Race spread across Chuzhou City.
Especially when people heard that many of them were stunningly beautiful women, it caused quite a stir.
"Damn it, why does that idiot Wan Gaoxing have such luck? He goes out once and brings back so many beauties?" In another lavish mansion, a man with a sinister face roared in fury.
"Hehe, is Young Master Zong jealous?" A thin, pale youth reclined in a chair, smiling so widely that his mouth stretched to his ears—a deeply unsettling sight.
"Hmph!" Young Master Zong snorted coldly, casting a sideways glance at the youth, "And what about you, Brother Bai? Are you not jealous?"
