Chapter 1048: Dialogue with Nangong Yu

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xuanyi let out a long sigh of relief.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang with a mournful face, "Little brother, wait here for a moment; I will go borrow some Spirit Medicine for you."

After speaking, fearing that Wang Jianqiang would stir up more trouble, his figure flashed and he vanished.

This time, he was not entirely lying.

He truly could not produce seventy portions of Spirit Medicine.

Only after borrowing from the power-holders of various factions in this area did he barely manage to scrape together seventy portions of Spirit Medicine.

Returning to his residence, he handed the seventy portions of Spirit Medicine to Wang Jianqiang.

After Wang Jianqiang checked the quantity of the Spirit Medicine, Xuanyi wore a gentle smile and spoke softly, "Well, little brother, your older brother has some things to attend to next; if you have nothing else, you should leave first."

Wang Jianqiang was startled, "Older brother, you aren't guarding against me, are you?"

Xuanyi's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface, shaking his head with a laugh, "How could that be? If you are free, I would be more than happy to have you come find me."

"I really do have things to do."

Wang Jianqiang stared at Xuanyi again and again.

Xuanyi's expression was sincere as he gazed deeply into Wang Jianqiang's eyes.

A moment later.

Wang Jianqiang shivered and came back to his senses, "Since that's the case, alright then, I understand."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Older brother, once you finish your quiet cultivation, notify me immediately; I will miss you."

Xuanyi nodded with a face full of emotion, "Rest assured, little brother, your older brother will miss you too; even if you didn't remind me, I would notify you the very first moment."

After a deep and emotional farewell, Wang Jianqiang left.

Ptooey!

As soon as Xuanyi closed the door, he spat a thick glob of phlegm onto the ground.

Thinking that he had been swindled out of one hundred and twenty precious Medicinal Herbs by that little brat Wang Jianqiang, his heart couldn't help but ache with sharp stabs.

Those Medicinal Herbs were all quite rare items!

The Great Wilderness Immortal Palace was extremely strict when using them in daily life.

Now...

Not only was the inventory exhausted, but he was also in a mountain of debt.

That little bastard is truly ruthless!

Damn it.

Nothing good ever happens whenever I see that little bastard; it would be best if he never came again.

Ptooey!

On the other side, after leaving Xuanyi's residence, Wang Jianqiang also spat out a glob of thick phlegm.

That old geezer talks a good game.

What quiet cultivation; it was clearly to guard against him and deliberately keep him from coming.

It seems the old geezer is truly feeling the pinch this time.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a faint arc.

He soared into the sky and quickly sped away.

Half a month later.

The Great Star Envoy, Jiuyou, Xiao Keke, Jiang Xuan, Zhou Qingyu, Gu Xinran, Nangong Yu, and Linge, these eight women, arrived at the Gentleman Alliance.

Upon receiving the news, Wang Jianqiang personally went out to welcome them.

"Welcome, noble Fairies, to the Gentleman Alliance."

"Gong Yu is here too? You must be tired from the long journey, right? Someone, quickly arrange a room for Fairy Nan to rest."

"Great Star Envoy, Jiuyou, Ke Ke, Jiang Xuan, Third Miss, Xinran, and Senior Sister Linge, I suddenly remembered some matters to discuss with you; follow me."

Upon seeing the women, Wang Jianqiang summoned a maid to attend to Nangong Yu.

Then, under Nangong Yu's speechless gaze, he left with the Great Star Envoy and the others.

This meeting lasted for a full two months before it ended.

After the meeting concluded, Wang Jianqiang left his residence.

He walked within the Gentleman Alliance.

After this period of construction, buildings had already risen from the ground all around.

As of today, the construction of the new site for the Gentleman Alliance was more than eighty percent complete, finally having the appearance of a sect.

Within the sect, disciples came and went.

Upon seeing Wang Jianqiang, they all bowed respectfully.

Wang Jianqiang wore a smile, looking amiable, and responded to each one.

Just as he arrived at a Square on a mountain peak, a figure suddenly caught his eye.

Under the sunlight, a slender figure stood gracefully.

She had a head of long golden hair.

That long golden hair draped down to below her hips, emitting a brilliant radiance under the sunlight.

She had her back to Wang Jianqiang, as if she were overlooking the mountain below.

Although it was only a back view, that nearly perfect figure already made one feel unable to extricate themselves.

The very next moment after Wang Jianqiang looked at this back view.

The owner of this back view seemed to have sensed someone behind her and turned around to look.

An exquisitely beautiful and flawless face appeared within Wang Jianqiang's field of vision.

Her pale golden, magnificent gaze fell upon Wang Jianqiang, and then, a look of half-smile appeared on that stunningly beautiful face.

"The meeting is over?"

"Daoist Friend Wang, your energy is truly admirable."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "What, do you want to join the meeting too?"

As he spoke, Wang Jianqiang walked to the woman's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

He looked down the mountain.

This mountain peak was very high, the highest peak in this mountain range.

Looking down, white clouds floated beneath his feet, the view was hazy, and mountain peaks appeared and disappeared.

A sense of pride at surveying all the mountains from the summit arose spontaneously.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's voice, which contained a hint of teasing, Nangong Yu curled her lips and did not speak.

Wang Jianqiang was taken aback.

Usually, whenever he made such a tease, Nangong Yu would politely decline.

This time, her reaction was actually somewhat different.

He looked Nangong Yu over in surprise, "If you don't speak, can I take it that you have already agreed?"

Nangong Yu looked at Wang Jianqiang, her beautiful eyes flickering.

Then she laughed, "I actually wanted to refuse, but I have taken too much advantage of you over these years, and suddenly I don't know how to bring myself to refuse."

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up.

This is...

There's a chance!

This girl Nangong Yu is truly too shrewd.

Over these years, no matter how he tried to sweet-talk her, she just wouldn't fall for it.

Originally, he was just habitually teasing Nangong Yu, but he didn't expect an unexpected harvest.

He coughed dryly and said calmly, "You can't put it that way; Wang is an upright gentleman and certainly not someone who would hold a favor over someone's head for gain."

"If you are holding onto that thought, Wang will not act like such a villain."

Nangong Yu looked at Wang Jianqiang with a smile, the teasing meaning in her gaze very obvious.

Fortunately, Wang Jianqiang's thick skin had already been tempered through thousands of trials, so he did not break character.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang remain calm, Nangong Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "Your skin is truly thick."

"Ahem, what nonsense are you spouting? I call this having a clear conscience." Wang Jianqiang glared at Nangong Yu.

"Fine, I know, a clear conscience."

Nangong Yu smiled, then her gaze became distant, "Do you know? From childhood to adulthood, I have seen many geniuses."

"Some were the best of their clan, some were famous in a city, and some could Suppress their peers in a sect..."

"But these heaven-gifted talents were all easily surpassed by me."

"From childhood to adulthood, not a single genius has ever posed even a shred of a threat to me."

"Until I met you."

Wang Jianqiang was taken aback, then laughed, "What, were you Suppressed by my kingly aura?"
