Chapter 1219: The Talkative Wang Jianqiang

Hearing Shui Chengtian's words, Qingcheng was stunned.

What was going on?

She had originally assumed that Wang Jianqiang had confessed his relationship with her to her father, and that her father, disapproving, had deliberately said such things in front of Wang Jianqiang to humiliate him.

But now it seemed she had misunderstood something?

Wang Jianqiang was somewhat speechless.

He could tell that Shui Chengtian seemed to have gotten stuck in a rut and truly hadn't realized it.

He looked at Shui Chengtian, and after a moment of silence, said in a rather strange tone, "Senior, do you think it's possible that…"

"That country bumpkin, that wild man you spoke of…"

"Is actually me?"

Huh???

Shui Chengtian almost thought he was experiencing auditory hallucinations.

"Wa—Wang Daoist Friend, wh—what did you just say?"

He seemed somewhat agitated, his speech even trembling a little.

"I said, I am the wild man in Senior's mouth." Wang Jianqiang repeated it again.

Shui Chengtian was stunned.

The next moment, he turned and flew out of the imperial palace.

Qingcheng was dazed, "Father, where are you going?"

"I'm going to call off the engagement."

From far away, a voice trembling with excitement came back.

Qingcheng was stunned.

What was going on now?

Why was she feeling a bit confused?

During the time she had entered the Treasure Land, what exactly had happened?

……

Shui Chengtian's efficiency was surprisingly high; he had left two hours ago, and the engagement had been called off an hour ago.

In the remaining hour, he had rushed back in a great hurry.

Although he had made use of a Transmission Array in between.

But at such extreme speed, Shui Chengtian, this Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator, still expended a massive amount of energy.

Qingcheng, who had already learned everything from Wang Jianqiang, looked at Shui Chengtian, who had just returned and was panting heavily, and blinked her beautiful eyes.

"Father, didn't you say that we Cultivators of the Shuiyue Divine Dynasty might bleed or lose our lives, but we must never go back on our word?"

"What kind of talk is that? This is called a strategic tactical adjustment." Shui Chengtian glared, "Besides, you are my most beloved daughter, my own flesh and blood. Since you don't like that Bu Renyi, how could I force you to marry him?"

"And furthermore, what is my relationship with Daoist Friend Wang? How could I reject Daoist Friend Wang's face?"

"And furthermore, what kind of thing is that Bu Renyi? How can he compare to Daoist Friend Wang? Just hearing that kid's name, I suspect he's no good. Look at Daoist Friend Wang, his name… hmm… he is a man of talent, upright in character, sincere and loyal, and possesses peerless natural talent. Being favored by Daoist Friend Wang is your good fortune."

Qingcheng: ……

Wang Jianqiang: ……

Little Chicken: ……

Huanxin: ……

Mu Lingxi blinked her eyes, "Senior, that doesn't seem to be what you said just now."

"Didn't you say that Bu Renyi had upright character and excellent appearance, and that his cultivation talent was also very strong?"

Shui Chengtian clearly hadn't expected there to be such a straightforward person present.

Choked by his own saliva, after a bout of violent coughing.

His old face flushed red as he said, "I—I was deceived by that old friend of mine."

"I just went to the Bu family and saw for myself, it's completely not like that."

"Oh~ so that's how it is."

Mu Lingxi nodded with a completely innocent face, seemingly having believed it.

Shui Chengtian's face was full of embarrassment.

Distracted by Mu Lingxi, he sadly discovered that the shame of seemingly being seen through lingered in his heart, and he couldn't shake it off.

His thick-skinned nature was limited after all.

He could no longer make things up.

In the time that followed, Shui Chengtian tried every possible way to get close to Wang Jianqiang.

The form of address evolved from Daoist Friend Wang to Worthy Nephew Wang without him even realizing it.

Mu Lingxi did not interject again.

But whether it was his imagination or not, even though Mu Lingxi's gaze was clearly innocent and clear, he always felt a strange sense of being seen through.

Finally, he could no longer endure it.

"Ahem, that, Qingcheng, you and Daoist Friend Wang haven't seen each other for a long time, you must have a lot to talk about, right?"

"I won't disturb you two."

After saying this to Qingcheng, he prepared to leave.

"Wait~"

Just as he turned around, Qingcheng suddenly called out to him, "Father, I haven't reported my gains from the Treasure Land to you yet."

According to the rules, those who return from the Treasure Land must report their gains.

"No rush. You chat with Daoist Friend Wang first; it won't be too late to report back after you finish catching up."

"It's not like a day or two makes a difference."

Shui Chengtian waved his hand with a chuckle.

Just as his voice fell, a voice suddenly followed, "A day or two isn't enough; it will likely take at least twenty days."

The person speaking was not Wang Jianqiang, but Mu Lingxi.

"That long?"

Shui Chengtian was stunned and spoke subconsciously.

It's just catching up, does it really take that long?

Is there that much to talk about?

"My master's duration has always been like this," the little chick nodded proudly.

Always?

Shui Chengtian was full of bewilderment.

He couldn't help but look at Wang Jianqiang, "Do you often catch up with people for this long?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "How could that be? Senior, you've misunderstood."

That's what I thought~

Catching up for over twenty days straight without a break?

Who could have that much to talk about?

This is no longer something that can be described as being talkative.

Besides.

Wang Jianqiang is an Eighth-Rank Alchemist.

How precious is the time of an Eighth-Rank Alchemist?

How could he waste so much time on idle chatter?

As expected, it wasn't true.

Just as Shui Chengtian breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Jianqiang's voice came again, "I only catch up for this long with those close to me and certain people I find agreeable."

Shui Chengtian's expression froze, and then he reacted.

In that case...

The twenty-plus days are real?

Seeing Shui Chengtian's expression, Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Senior wouldn't really think I catch up with people often, would you?"

"With my time being so tight, how could I possibly waste it like that?"

Shui Chengtian was speechless for a moment.

It seems he wasn't struggling with this topic, was he?

Forget it~

The longer the time, the better the relationship between Qingcheng and her, which can be considered a good thing; there is no need to dwell on it.

He shook his head secretly.

"So that's how it is."

"No problem, there's no rush to report the gains. You two chat; never mind twenty-some days, even a month is fine."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, "Senior is truly broad-minded and magnanimous."

After Shui Chengtian left.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Qingcheng with a smile, and Qingcheng seemed to have thought of something.

After hesitating for a moment, she began to put away her Magic Treasure.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang revealed a look of surprise, "Qingcheng, what are you doing?"

Qingcheng glared at Wang Jianqiang with a blushing face, "Playing dumb, are you? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

"I just want to help you improve your cultivation."

Wang Jianqiang revealed an innocent look and continued to ask, "What are you thinking about?"

Qingcheng was stunned.

She couldn't help but look at Mu Lingxi.

Mu Lingxi nodded, "Senior Brother obtained a very miraculous treasure that can help people significantly improve their cultivation in a very short time."

"We have all used it; only you haven't used it yet, and Senior Brother has always felt bad about it."

"Before coming here, Senior Brother did indeed say that after meeting you, he would help you improve your cultivation as a priority."

As she spoke, Mu Lingxi deliberately revealed a trace of her aura.

In an instant, Qingcheng felt a pressure so powerful it made her heart tremble.

She had no doubt that the current Mu Lingxi could likely kill her with a single strike!

You must know, although the Treasure Land had little effect on the improvement of cultivation.

But the opportunity she obtained was immense; merely a "side effect" of that opportunity still allowed her to successfully reach Spirit Transformation, and go a step further to reach the Spirit Severing Mid Stage.

Now, because of the opportunity she obtained in the Treasure Land, her combat power has undergone another transformation.

At the same level, her combat power far exceeds what it was before.

Even so, when facing Mu Lingxi, she still felt a sense of being unable to resist; one can imagine how formidable Mu Lingxi's current cultivation is.

From this, it can be seen.

The treasure on Wang Jianqiang must have an extremely astonishing effect.

Possessing such a precious treasure, Wang Jianqiang was actually thinking of her in this way...

After coming back to her senses.

Qingcheng looked at Wang Jianqiang, a touch of being moved appearing on her face.

However, this touch of being moved only remained on her face for a moment; as Wang Jianqiang's voice came again, it instantly vanished into thin air.

"You still haven't told me what you want to do?"

Wang Jianqiang blinked his eyes, his face full of curiosity.
