Chapter 102: Su Tong: Call me Uncle Wang from now on

A moment later.

Wang Jianqiang finished observing.

He withdrew his gaze, still wanting more, and said, "Let's go."

"Senior Brother Wang, what about them?"

Wang Yu Yao pointed at the remaining four people.

"They have lost too much blood essence; if it isn't replenished in time, they won't survive even if we rescue them."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu Yao immediately understood and did not ask again.

"Didn't you happen to obtain quite a few Blood Pills?"

However, Mu Lingxi's somewhat tactless voice rang out immediately after.

Wang Jianqiang glared at her and poked her smooth forehead with his finger, "Are you stupid? Those are my private property; how could I just take them out to save these insignificant people?"

"Isn't that a waste?"

"Do you know that waste is shameful?"

"Oh."

Mu Lingxi suddenly realized, then looked at Su Yutong in confusion, "Your cultivation is clearly the lowest among these people, so why is your blood essence loss the least?"

Su Yutong's expression faltered, and she shook her head, "I don't know either."

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang curled his lip, "Need you ask? She is Ye Lingyun's childhood sweetheart; that old fellow Ye Zhenshan must have shown her mercy for Ye Lingyun's sake."

Su Yutong fell silent, her expression complex, not knowing what she was thinking.

Mu Lingxi, meanwhile, was struck by a sudden realization.

Afterwards, Wang Jianqiang destroyed the Blood Sacrifice Array within the lake of blood and led the others out of this Underground World.

They did not return directly to the sect.

The information for this mission had been inaccurate; there were no Demonic Sect cultivators in Black Water City at all.

He needed to make a trip to the Su Family and have the Su Family Clan Head, Su Tong, report the information again as the basis for their mission completion.

One hour later.

The group of four returned to the Su Family.

Seeing that Su Yutong had been rescued, Su Tong was overjoyed.

He showered Wang Jianqiang with endless gratitude.

Finally, he looked at Su Yutong, his expression filled with emotion, "Yutong, it is your good fortune to have made three such loyal friends."

Su Yutong:...

Seeing Su Yutong looking somewhat dazed, Su Tong sighed with emotion, "The three of them came to the Su Family a few days ago and said they were your good friends, so I told them about your disappearance."

"I didn't expect the three of them to be so concerned about you that they went to look for you immediately."

Good friends??

Su Yutong couldn't help but look at Wang Jianqiang, even more bewildered.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "We never said that; it was just Clan Head Su's accurate guess."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang flatter him, Su Tong smiled and sighed, "Little brother is truly a man of talent; if Yutong were not already betrothed, I would have wanted to climb the social ladder and form a connection."

"Betrothed?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at Su Yutong thoughtfully.

"Yes, my daughter was betrothed to Ye Lingyun of the Ye Family when she was young." Su Tong nodded with a smile, "That child Lingyun is also in the Hehuan Sect; you should know him, right?"

"Quite well." Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Su Tong nodded and continued, "Yutong and Lingyun have been close since childhood, and both are very satisfied with the betrothal. According to the agreement, they will hold their dual cultivation ceremony the year after next."

"Since you are all good friends with Yutong, you must come and have a wedding drink then."

"Father, don't say any more."

Su Yutong could no longer listen, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Look, this girl is even getting shy." Su Tong laughed heartily.

"It's not that."

Su Yutong was getting anxious, but for a moment, she didn't know how to speak up.

Wang Jianqiang gave Su Yutong a look that was half-smile, then looked at Su Tong and said cheerfully, "Clan Head Su, I'm afraid we won't be able to drink that wedding wine."

"Why, no time?"

"That's right, you disciples of major sects prioritize cultivation above all else and cannot be delayed. It was my rudeness."

Su Tong expressed his understanding.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "On that point, Clan Head Su has guessed wrong."

"The Ye Family will likely be completely wiped out in Black Water City in a short while. If Clan Head Su is not afraid of being implicated, I wouldn't mind having a wedding drink."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Su Tong was greatly shocked, "Little brother, why do you say that?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

He recounted the actions of the Ye Family.

After hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Su Tong was completely stunned.

"So there were no Demonic Sect disciples in Black Water City at all; all of this was the work of the Ye Family!"

After a long while, Su Tong finally recovered from his shock.

He gave Wang Jianqiang a bitter smile, "It turns out I was deceived by Ye Zhenshan; I have let little brother see a fool of me."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "This cannot be blamed on Clan Head Su. Later, I will have to trouble Clan Head Su to report the truth to the Hehuan Sect again."

"I understand," Su Tong nodded.

"Oh, that's right, may I ask how old you are, Clan Head Su?" Wang Jianqiang suddenly asked.

Su Tong was taken aback, a bit confused, but still answered truthfully, "I am one hundred and eight years old this year."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled, "In that case, Clan Head Su, you can just call me by my name or 'Brother Wang'; 'little brother' is a bit too young, and I'm not quite used to it."

Su Tong was stunned, "Little—Brother Wang, how old are you?"

"102 years old."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's age, Su Tong was dumbfounded.

He was that old!

Before, after hearing about the Ye Family affair, he had even prepared to play matchmaker between Yutong and this person.

After hearing Wang Jianqiang's age, he immediately dismissed this idea.

A person over a hundred years old, and only at the Foundation Establishment Stage—what kind of future prospects could he have?

Whether he can even break through to the Golden Core Stage remains an unknown.

Yutong is only in her early twenties and has already reached Foundation Establishment.

Her future as a Golden Core expert is set in stone.

This person is not worthy of Yutong.

No, Yutong is so beautiful; it is impossible for him not to have designs on her.

I must find a way to cut off his path.

Thinking of this, his heart stirred, and he looked at Wang Jianqiang apologetically, "So Brother Wang is already 102 years old; it was my rudeness."

"Brother Wang saved Yutong's life, so if you don't mind, from now on, let us address each other as brothers."

"Brother Su is joking, I would be very happy to," Wang Jianqiang smiled.

"Brother Wang is straightforward."

As he spoke, he beckoned to Su Yutong, "Yutong, regardless of how things were between you and Brother Wang before, from today onwards, you must address him as Uncle when you see him, do you understand?"

Su Yutong was stunned.

How did the situation change so quickly?

In the blink of an eye, Wang Jianqiang had become her uncle!

"What are you still dazed for? Why don't you come over and call him Uncle Wang?"

Seeing Su Yutong dazed, Su Tong immediately shouted to Repel her hesitation.

Su Yutong came back to her senses, feeling quite troubled.

Wang Jianqiang just watched this scene with a smile, not saying a word.

"What, you've grown up, your wings have hardened? You won't even listen to what I say now, is that it?"

Seeing that Su Yutong still didn't speak, Su Tong was so angry his face turned red.

"Father, it's not—I—"

Su Yutong looked at her father and saw that he was not going to let the matter drop.

She sighed inwardly, ultimately choosing to obey.

With a flushed face, she looked at Wang Jianqiang and, after a long time, squeezed out two words, "Uncle... Wang..."

Seeing his daughter finally say those two words.

Su Tong immediately laughed, the heavy stone that had been hanging in his heart finally dropping.

He felt secretly smug.

My daughter is calling you Uncle; as long as you have any shred of shame, you can't possibly have designs on my daughter anymore, right?
