Chapter 974

Hearing Qing Mei's question, Wan Shitong feigned ease and said: "The boss is back, he's in the room."

Learning that Chen Ang was in the room, Qing Mei's eyes instantly lit up.

Just as she was preparing to step forward, Wan Shitong hurriedly pulled her back.

"Wait, Qing Mei, you can't go in right now."

Hearing his words, Qing Mei instantly frowned.

"Why can't I go in? Is Chen Ang injured?"

"No..."

"No? Are you lying to me? What exactly happened to Chen Ang? Is the injury serious?"

Looking at the worry in Qing Mei's eyes, Wan Shitong hurriedly said: "Qing Mei, don't misunderstand, the boss isn't injured, really not injured, he broke through!"

"What? He actually broke through at this time?!"

"Yes, maybe it was because he killed a bit too ruthlessly when killing the Golden Spear Clan, he broke through the bottleneck directly."

"The souls of the Golden Spear Clan didn't hurt him, did they?"

"No, how could they have that ability? At that time, the boss killed them as simply as cutting vegetables, one sword per person, like a living Yama. By the end, there weren't even enough souls, and we were all watching the fun from the side."

While speaking, Wan Shitong even gestured and danced to imitate Chen Ang's actions, instantly making Qing Mei feel much more at ease.

Seeing the smile on her face, Wan Shitong finally set his heart at ease.

"Qing Mei, you should know the boss's ability; it's only a matter of him hurting others, how could others hurt him? Right?"

After thinking about it, Qing Mei nodded: "He is indeed very powerful."

"That's right, when is our boss not powerful? But he is at a critical moment right now, whether he can take this step depends on now. You cannot disturb him for the time being. Master Teacher Xing Tian asked me to guard here, saying no one is allowed to enter, including Li Lao, so you must not make things difficult for me."

Understanding what he meant, Qing Mei nodded.

"Fine, as long as Chen Ang is okay, I'll stay here and guard with you."

Hearing this, Wan Shitong hurriedly waved his hands.

"No need, no need, I can guard here by myself."

"It's fine, I don't have anything to do anyway, I'll just guard with you, that way I can see him the first moment he comes out."

"If the boss sees you the first moment, won't he skin me alive? You are the future Sect Mistress; how can I let you sit on the cold bench here? Qing Mei, please spare me, your status is different from before, don't harm your brother!"

Hearing his words, Qing Mei was amused.

"You said my status is different from before, yet you still call me brother and sister?"

"Hehe, that's because the boss isn't here. But he is inside, and there's no telling when he'll come out. Once he comes out, I'll be in trouble. Just treat it as helping a brother out."

Under Wan Shitong's repeated entreaties, Qing Mei finally nodded.

"Alright then, I'll go back and wait first. If anything happens, you give me news immediately, do you hear me?"

"Got it, got it, don't you trust me with things? Once the boss comes out, I'll go find you immediately, I'll go find you without stopping!"

"That's more like it, then I'll go back first, you remember you must give me news the first moment!"

"Don't worry, this matter is on me, I guarantee there won't be any mistakes!"

Under Wan Shitong's repeated guarantees, Qing Mei finally left satisfied.

Staring at her until her back completely disappeared, Wan Shitong finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

After Qing Mei left, An Xinyi poked his head out from behind a tree.

"Wan Shitong, you are still the strong one, you even managed to fool her."

Seeing him, Wan Shitong gave him a roll of the eyes without any politeness.

"You came here and didn't even say you'd help a brother out, you only knew how to watch the show, you're not a good friend at all!"

"It's not that I won't help you, it's that I really can't lie. You made up the story so perfectly just now; what if I messed up a sentence and she noticed? Wouldn't your efforts be in vain? I'm doing this for your own good."

"Your reason is well-found, but let's forget about the 'can't lie' part; have you lied to me few times?"

"Those are all things of the past, let's not mention the past."

As he spoke, An Xinyi even put on a smiling face.

Looking at his smiling face, Wan Shitong sighed heavily and sat down on the steps with a thud. He supported his knees with both hands and turned his head to look at that door behind him.

"I wonder how the boss is doing now..."

Hearing this, the smile on An Xinyi's face instantly disappeared, and he also turned his head to look over.

"The boss is a blessed person, and with Master Teacher Xing Tian there, he definitely won't have any accidents."

"Yes, the boss definitely won't have any accidents!"

Although Wan Shitong said so, the worry on his face did not diminish at all.

When the Long Wang arrived, the two of them were sitting one on the left and one on the right, in a rare moment of quiet.

"You two, you've been sitting here for a day, go eat something."

Hearing the Long Wang's words, Wan Shitong shook his head.

"Many thanks for the Long Wang's kindness, I'm not hungry."

"Even if you're not hungry, go take a rest, Chen Ang is fine, you don't need to worry too much."

"Many thanks for the Long Wang's concern, we aren't tired, we feel more at ease sitting here. Once our boss comes out, we'll go eat."

After his voice fell, An Xinyi nodded from the side, expressing his agreement with his words.

Seeing the two of them so stubborn, the Long Wang was also somewhat troubled.

At this time, Li Lao walked over and deliberately said with a cold face: "Chen Ang is perfectly fine, why are you guarding here? Everyone go do what you need to do, don't add trouble for the Long Wang!"

Seeing Li Lao was somewhat angry, An Xinyi wavered a bit.

He had always followed Li Lao to do things before and was somewhat used to listening to him. Now that he was suddenly angry, he subconsciously prepared to obey.

Just as An Xinyi was preparing to get up, Wan Shitong turned his head to the side.

"Li Lao, me sitting here doesn't count as adding trouble for the Long Wang, I want to guard my boss, I won't leave until he comes out!"

"Wan Shitong, don't be stubborn here!"

"I'm not being stubborn, I just want to guard him, that's all. Anyway, no matter what you say, I won't leave. If you're hungry, eat; if you're tired, sleep; don't worry about me. I can only feel at ease here, I can't go anywhere else!"

After finishing these words, Wan Shitong directly closed his eyes and covered his ears with both hands, looking like he refused to communicate further.

Seeing him like this, An Xinyi also reacted, sat back down with a thud, learned his appearance, closed his eyes, and covered his ears.

Seeing the two of them like this, Li Lao was somewhat between laughter and tears.

It seemed he had truly underestimated Wan Shitong's loyalty to Chen Ang.

Turning his head to look at the Long Wang, Li Lao said softly: "Long Wang, since they want to guard here, then let them be, don't worry about them anymore."

"This... wouldn't that be too good?"

"There's nothing not good about it, let them be."

Chen Ang was slow to appear, and Qing Mei became increasingly anxious.

Finding them again, she asked with teary eyes: "Wan Shitong, tell me the truth, did something happen to Chen Ang?"

Hearing her words, Wan Shitong barely gathered his spirits and piled on a smile.

"Qing Mei, don't overthink it, the boss is improving, what could happen!"

"Yes, the boss's breakthrough period this time is very critical, so naturally it will take longer. Qing Mei, don't be anxious, Master Teacher Xing Tian is inside, the boss will definitely be fine."

Seeing Wan Shitong's poor state, An Xinyi hurriedly stepped forward to help speak.

After hearing their words, Qing Mei felt a bit more at ease, but was still a bit anxious.

"Are you sure you aren't lying to me?"

"Of course, if something really happened to the boss, would we still be able to laugh and talk here? You know Wan Shitong, he can't hide things in his heart, if there's something, it's written on his face. If something really happened to the boss, he would probably have cried long ago!"

Secretly, Wan Shitong gave him a hard shove, but on the surface, he kept agreeing.

Seeing that there was indeed no anxiety on Wan Shitong's face, Qing Mei finally let out a sigh of relief.

Under the repeated persuasion of the two, she finally turned and left.

Looking at her back, Wan Shitong let out a long sigh of relief.

"An Xinyi, I feel like I can't keep making this up."

Hearing his words, An Xinyi became a bit anxious.

"No, even if you can't keep making it up, you have to! What if Qing Mei really finds out and can't take it all of a sudden? The boss wakes up and she collapses, aren't you afraid the boss will skin us alive?"
