Chapter 1106: The Ancestor Has a Sharp Eye After All

As he spoke, a strange look appeared on Gui Yingjun's face, "I never expected that you brat would actually come from the Immortal Abandoned Land."

"You certainly hid yourself deep enough; even I failed to see through it."

An awkward smile flashed across Wang Jianqiang's face, "Senior, this junior only pretended to be Wan Guiyuan earlier to save my life; I did not intend to deceive anyone."

Gui Yingjun shook his head, "I already know the ins and outs of the matter, so do not worry. Since you joined my Beast Taming Sect, you are a member of my Beast Taming Sect; I am not that pedantic."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang nodded with a chuckle.

Just then, Gui Yingjun suddenly spoke again, "However..."

"Wen Ya and Long Er are the future of my Beast Taming Sect."

"For you brat to have led them astray, that is a bit unprincipled!"

Wang Jianqiang's expression froze, then he shook his head with a chuckle, "Ancestor, aren't you being a bit distant by saying that?"

"What do you mean by 'led astray'?"

"I am the Vice Sect Master of our Beast Taming Sect, and in the future, I will very likely become the Sect Master of our Beast Taming Sect, leading the entire Beast Taming Sect."

"Isn't it just right that Wen Ya and Long Er are with me?"

Gui Yingjun was stunned, "Who said you would become the Beast Taming Sect Master in the future?"

Wang Jianqiang gave a cheeky grin and said as if it were only natural, "I became the Vice Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect at such a young age; wouldn't it be simple to get promoted one more level?"

"Besides, I am peerlessly gifted and dashing in appearance; am I not ten thousand times better than that old fogey Wen Tiansheng?"

"If Wen Tiansheng can be the Beast Taming Sect Master, am I not more than qualified?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the expressions of Wen Ya, Long Er, Liu Yanran, and Xuan Ji all became strange.

After being stunned for a moment, Gui Yingjun burst into loud laughter, "Well said, I just appreciate your bold and lawless temperament."

"Unlike Wen Tiansheng, who is gloomy and full of bad intentions."

Wang Jianqiang gave a shy smile, "Ancestor, you overpraise me. I am indeed much stronger than the Sect Master, but the Sect Master is not without his merits."

Gui Yingjun gave a playful smile, looked Wang Jianqiang over, and laughed, "Not bad, not bad. Dashing in appearance; I actually didn't expect your true appearance to be even more outstanding than Wan Guiyuan's."

Hearing Gui Yingjun's words, the expressions of Xuan Ji, Wen Ya, Long Er, and Liu Yanran became strange once again.

"Ahem, Ancestor, you have misunderstood."

Wang Jianqiang gave a dry cough, "This appearance is also not my original look."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Gui Yingjun was stunned.

Then came a moment of awkwardness.

"Your Disguise technique has some real merit; even I, your Ancestor, have been fooled by you several times."

"Not bad, not bad."

Wang Jianqiang nodded repeatedly, "Just luck, just luck~"

As he spoke, a flash of Spirit Light appeared on his body, and he transformed into his original appearance.

He said to Gui Yingjun with a chuckle, "Ancestor, this is my original appearance. How is it? Is it even more outstanding? Were you stunned?"

Gui Yingjun's mouth hung open, and he couldn't speak for a long while.

After a good while, seemingly feeling the atmosphere was a bit awkward, he looked at Xuan Ji, Wen Ya, Long Er, and Liu Yanran.

"Ahem, you all don't just stand there; there are no outsiders here, so sit down."

"Jianqiang, you come and sit too."

Wang Jianqiang's expression froze.

He found a seat and sat down without changing his expression.

Gui Yingjun's gaze swept over the five of them, and he asked with a face full of curiosity, "I heard the Sect Master found an Eighth-Rank Alchemist friend to help?"

"How come I never heard that he had befriended an Eighth-Rank Alchemist?"

"That bastard is the same; he has come to the front lines so many times and never came to report to me."

"You all just came from the sect; did you see that Alchemist?"

As he spoke, his face was already filled with excitement, "Tsk tsk, this good-for-nothing fellow can actually befriend an Eighth-Rank Alchemist; it seems he is not entirely useless after all."

"Being able to befriend an Eighth-Rank Alchemist is definitely the greatest contribution he has made to the sect during all these years of managing the Beast Taming Sect."

By the time he finished speaking.

He realized no one was responding to him. He subconsciously looked at the five people and found that, except for the faint smile on Wang Jianqiang's face.

The other four all had strange expressions.

He couldn't help but be stunned, "Why do you all have such expressions?"

Hearing Gui Yingjun's words, Xuan Ji, Wen Ya, Long Er, and Liu Yanran subconsciously looked at Wang Jianqiang.

"Gui Shu, we have indeed seen that Eighth-Rank Alchemist."

Long Er was the first to recover, looking at Gui Yingjun with a grin, "And it's not just us who have seen him; you have also seen him, Gui Shu."

"I have seen him too?"

Gui Yingjun was stunned, "I have indeed seen a few Eighth-Rank Alchemists, but they have all died of old age."

"There isn't a single one left alive; I remember that clearly. Other than that, I haven't seen any other Eighth-Rank Alchemist."

"Ahem, Ancestor, that Alchemist is outstanding and has an extraordinary bearing. Think about it carefully, you should be able to remember," Wang Jianqiang said with a chuckle.

Gui Yingjun was stunned. He looked Wang Jianqiang over carefully and said uncertainly, "That Eighth-Rank Alchemist, could it be you?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Wang Jianqiang's face became even richer, "The Ancestor truly understands me. I only told the Ancestor two of my most insignificant traits, and the Ancestor was actually able to guess it."

Gui Yingjun could no longer care about Wang Jianqiang's infuriating tone.

After hearing Wang Jianqiang's definitive answer, he stood there completely dumbfounded.

Wen Tiansheng's so-called Alchemist friend was actually Wang Jianqiang!

Just how old is Wang Jianqiang?

The cultivation is only at the Spirit Transformation Stage, right?

He has lived for so long; he has seen Eighth-Rank Alchemists, even Ninth-Rank Alchemists, and has even witnessed the Immortal Tribulation.

To boast that he is knowledgeable and experienced is not an exaggeration in the slightest.

But he has never seen anyone at such an age and such a cultivation level become an Eighth-Rank Alchemist!

Let alone seen it.

He hasn't even heard of it!

"You~ you brat, you aren't pulling this Ancestor's leg, are you?"

After coming back to his senses, Gui Yingjun looked at Wang Jianqiang, full of suspicion.

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow, "Ancestor, I have always respected you; how could I possibly play you for a fool?"

Gui Yingjun subconsciously looked at the expressions of Xuan Ji, Wen Ya, Long Er, and Liu Yanran.

Seeing that the four of them looked normal, it seemed they had already known this news.

Coupled with their words just now.

He finally started to believe it a little.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang and swallowed his saliva, "You brat really are an Eighth-Rank Alchemist?"

"Wrong, an Eighth-Rank Intermediate Alchemist."

Worried about scaring Gui Yingjun, Wang Jianqiang didn't dare to say that he had already reached the Eighth Rank Advanced level.

Upon hearing this, Gui Yingjun was stunned for a moment.

"Hahaha, awesome~"

"I knew it, with that cowardly look of Wen Tiansheng, how could he possibly befriend an Eighth-Rank Alchemist?"

"So that Eighth-Rank Alchemist is actually the Vice Sect Master of my Beast Taming Sect!"

"Good, good, good. From the very first moment I saw you, I felt that you had a future and would definitely make it."

"My eye for talent is truly sharp!"
