Chapter 1057: Nian Qinghe Sends a Message

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the women understood instantly.

"This... Chen Jiaojiao hasn't finished her Tribulation Transcendence yet. It wouldn't be too late to celebrate after she finishes," Dong Yue pondered for a moment and said.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head with a chuckle.

Just as he was about to speak.

Mu Lingxi suddenly spoke first, "That is not correct."

"Someone in the Gentleman Alliance has broken through to the Great Vehicle stage; this is a massive joyous occasion."

"Important words should be said many times, and important matters should naturally be celebrated many times as well."

"Breaking through and surviving the Heavenly Tribulation are two different things."

"Let's celebrate once now, and once she survives the Heavenly Tribulation, we can just celebrate again."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Wang Jianqiang started to laugh, "That's right, that's exactly it."

"Shall we celebrate? Good idea."

Just at this moment, an untimely voice rang out.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the person who spoke and raised an eyebrow, only then remembering there were three uninvited guests.

Nancheng Kong did not notice the odd look on Wang Jianqiang's face and continued speaking, "When it comes to arranging banquets and feasts, I am the most skilled. Just leave it to me to handle; I will definitely get it done perfectly for you."

"I can help too," Mo Wuming followed up immediately.

Bai Wuqing nodded along.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile, "Very good, worthy of being my good brothers, Wang Jianqiang. Leave it to you all to handle."

After the three of them left, Wang Jianqiang's gaze swept over the women.

"Now that the people getting in the way have left, let's go back."

The next day.

When Nancheng Kong and the other two had arranged everything, they discovered that Wang Jianqiang and the high-level members of the Gentleman Alliance were gone.

No matter how they sent messages, they simply could not get a response.

The three were helpless.

The celebration fell through halfway.

Another ten-plus days passed.

Chen Jiaojiao successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation and returned to the Gentleman Alliance.

She was just about to find Wang Jianqiang to share the joy of her successful Tribulation Transcendence with him immediately.

However, she found the door to Wang Jianqiang's residence tightly shut, and the Array outside the house was also in an active state.

She was stunned for a moment.

Because Wang Jianqiang was in seclusion, she did not disturb him and returned to her own Magic Treasure palace to go into seclusion to refine the Creation Power and condense her Spirit Embryo.

Another forty-plus days passed.

The grand celebration ceremony finally ended.

Only then did everyone learn that Chen Jiaojiao had returned from her Tribulation Transcendence.

Afterwards, everyone revealed looks of surprise and joy.

"Chen Jiaojiao successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation; this is a great joy, we must celebrate!"

Mu Lingxi was the first to react.

Wang Jianqiang's heart skipped a beat, "Ahem, Lingxi, I have some things to handle within these next two or three days, why don't we wait a bit."

"That won't do. What matter could be more important than our Gentleman Alliance giving birth to a Great Vehicle stage Cultivator?"

"This..."

Wang Jianqiang wanted to say something else.

Yan Qingxuan suddenly spoke, interrupting his words, "This what? Could it be that you aren't up to it anymore?"

Wang Jianqiang's expression froze, and he stared wide-eyed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it just a celebration?"

"Fine, I'll let you witness my true strength."

Sixty-three days later.

Wang Jianqiang had just walked out of the house.

"Senior Brother, in another little while, Chen Jiaojiao should be able to come out of seclusion and stabilize her Great Vehicle stage realm."

"Our Gentleman Alliance's first Great Vehicle stage Cultivator coming out of seclusion is a huge joyous occasion..."

"While everyone is here, why don't we celebrate in advance."

Behind him came Mu Lingxi's giggling voice, and immediately after, a slender, elegant jade arm reached out from inside the doorway.

It grabbed Wang Jianqiang, who had just stepped out of the house, and hauled him back in.

"Uh, anyway, she hasn't come out of seclusion yet, so there's no need to be in such a rush; why don't we change the date."

"Hee hee, there's no time like the present; let's do it today."

Twenty days later.

Wang Jianqiang was overworked, and the celebration had to be interrupted.

Wang Jianqiang lay sprawled on the ground, his eye sockets sunken and his skin sallow.

He rested for a full seven days, plus the assistance of a series of Replenishment Pills, before finally recovering.

In the time that followed, he began secluded cultivation to refine artifacts and accumulate Cultivation Points.

One year later.

Wang Jianqiang was refining an artifact when he suddenly sensed that the Array outside his residence had been triggered.

His expression shifted, and his Spirit Sense spread outward.

He immediately discovered a figure waiting before the door of his residence.

"Jiaojiao?"

"She has already come out of seclusion?"

When he "saw" the figure outside his residence clearly, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

With a thought, the Restriction outside the residence dissipated.

Hum~

After Wang Jianqiang dissipated the Restriction outside his residence, a flash of Spirit Light appeared before him, and Chen Jiaojiao stood there.

"Uncle Wang."

Upon seeing Wang Jianqiang, a sweet smile spread across Chen Jiaojiao's face.

"Jiaojiao, when did you come out of seclusion?"

Seeing Chen Jiaojiao, the smile on Wang Jianqiang's face grew even more pronounced.

"I came straight to Uncle Wang's place just after coming out of seclusion," Chen Jiaojiao said.

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a chuckle and looked Chen Jiaojiao over for a moment.

He gave a dry cough, "Jiaojiao, your breakthrough to the Great Vehicle Stage is a blessing for our Gentleman Alliance."

"Such a joyous occasion should be celebrated."

Chen Jiaojiao was taken aback.

Celebrate?

Originally, she had not wanted to go through with such tedious formalities.

But since Uncle Wang wanted to celebrate, then they would celebrate.

Thinking of this, she nodded, "Since that is the case, I will go notify Dong Yue and have her arrange a banquet."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang shook his head with a smile, "Sigh... such cliché celebrations are not the style of our Gentleman Alliance."

Chen Jiaojiao was stunned, "Then what should our style be..."

Wang Jianqiang smiled mysteriously, "Come with Uncle..."

A cup of tea later.

Wang Jianqiang's legs were like noodles, and he returned to the main hall with Chen Jiaojiao's support.

With Chen Jiaojiao's careful support, Wang Jianqiang slowly sat down in a chair.

He leaned back against the chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

He had thought that since his cultivation had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, he could trade a few blows with a Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator even without the help of a Sublimation Pill.

Who would have thought~

The Great Vehicle Stage is, after all, the Great Vehicle Stage.

"Uncle Wang, how are you feeling?"

To the side, Chen Jiaojiao asked with concern.

Wang Jianqiang waved his hand, "It is nothing; Uncle just didn't perform well for a moment, a little rest will be fine."

As he spoke, Wang Jianqiang took out a Pill and swallowed it.

After silently refining it for a moment, his physical condition gradually improved.

Just at this moment.

His expression suddenly shifted.

He flipped his palm, and a Sound Transmission Talisman appeared in his hand.

At this moment, a faint Spirit Light was flickering on the Sound Transmission Talisman.

Sensing the aura emanating from within the Sound Transmission Talisman, Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

A message from Nian Qinghe?

It seemed like it had been a while since Nian Qinghe had been in contact with him; why would she suddenly think to send him a message?

Could something have happened?

Carrying a trace of doubt, he poured his Spirit Sense into the Sound Transmission Talisman.
