Chapter 1228: Fan-Girl Qin Yun

The beautiful woman's words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving Nancheng Kong dumbfounded as he listened.

For a fleeting moment, he even felt that what Auntie Yun said made sense.

However...

He quickly regained his senses and shook off that unrealistic thought.

Wang Jianqiang did not respond, only smiling bitterly and shaking his head continuously.

His face revealed a look of humility.

Just then, the beautiful woman seemed to have thought of something; she frowned as she looked at Nancheng Kong, her eyes filled with a trace of disdain.

She then looked at Wang Jianqiang, and the disdain in her eyes instantly transformed into reverence.

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke, "Daoist Friend Wang, it is best if you associate less with Nancheng Kong."

"As the saying goes, one who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black."

"This playboy is rotten wood that cannot be carved; I fear your lifelong reputation will be ruined by him."

"It is not that I do not trust you, Daoist Friend..."

"I just feel there is no need for you to get stained by this piece of rat droppings."

As soon as the beautiful woman's words fell.

Nancheng Kong's vision went black, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.

No...

Wang Jianqiang was so rotten he was practically oozing pus; he had never in his life seen anyone worse than Wang Jianqiang.

Since he had gotten to know Wang Jianqiang, he felt he had become even more shameless than before.

Who was the ink, and who was the rat droppings?

Hadn't she gotten it backwards?

A wave of resentment rose in his heart, and he subconsciously wanted to argue a few words for himself.

But just as he opened his mouth, he saw Wang Jianqiang's face, which was hanging with a kind smile, right in front of him.

His heart trembled.

He immediately swallowed the words that had reached his lips back down.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Nancheng Kong with a smile, his face full of encouragement.

Then, his gaze shifted and landed on the beautiful woman, and he shook his head with a solemn face, "Sister, that is not quite right. While it is true that one who stays near vermilion gets stained red and one who stays near ink gets stained black, there are also lotus flowers that rise from the silt without being stained, and are cleansed by clear ripples without being bewitching."

"If one can be influenced, it only means that Wang's own character has flaws."

"Wang does not boast, but Wang believes in his own self-control."

"And I also believe that one day, I will be able to make Daoist Friend Nan as excellent as I am."

Nancheng Kong:...

The beautiful woman's expression was one of worship, and she sighed with emotion, "As expected of Daoist Friend Wang; this self-confidence and this quality make it hard not to feel admiration."

"Sister, you overpraise me."

Wang Jianqiang smiled lightly.

The beautiful woman shook her head, then said softly, "Daoist Friend Wang, my name is Qin Yun; you can just address me by my name, or call me Yun'er."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Yun'er, I am an old acquaintance of Yu'er, and I have some urgent matters to attend to with her."

"Could you please inform her?"

Upon hearing Wang Jianqiang's form of address, Qin Yun's face flushed slightly, "Daoist Friend Wang, it is not that Yun'er is obstructing you, but Yu'er is currently in seclusion, putting all her effort into cultivating a Technique, and it will take at least a month before she can come out."

"Before then, she absolutely cannot be disturbed, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted, so..."

Speaking to this point, a trace of apology appeared on Qin Yun's face.

"So that is how it is."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang revealed a look of sudden realization, "Since that is the case, I will not make things difficult for Yun'er."

As he spoke, he tapped his finger.

A streak of Spirit Light flew out and hovered in front of Qin Yun, "This is my method of communication. I will wait for Yu'er at the Nan Family for some time. If Yu'er comes out of seclusion, I hope Yun'er can notify me at the first opportunity, or tell Yu'er of my arrival."

"Rest assured, Daoist Friend Wang; once Yu'er comes out of seclusion, I will certainly notify you immediately."

Wang Jianqiang nodded and turned to look at the somewhat dazed Nancheng Kong, "Daoist Friend Nan, let us leave first."

Hearing this, Nancheng Kong recovered from his stupor.

A flash of strangeness and envy crossed his face.

Qin Yun was no simple maid; she was his mother's Personal Maid.

She had been by his mother's side since his mother was young, and had grown up with her.

The two had a very deep bond, like sisters.

This was also the reason Nancheng Kong dared not provoke Qin Yun.

Qin Yun was beautiful, and her figure was stunning.

He had long harbored thoughts about Qin Yun in his heart, but after being beaten by his mother and Qin Yun together, such thoughts had never appeared again.

But not daring to think about it did not mean he did not want to.

He never expected...

The beauty he had thought about for so many years had always either beaten or scolded him.

Yet Wang Jianqiang had only come for the first time, and he was already on such intimate terms with her.

Damn it...

There is no justice in the world.

He cursed inwardly.

On the surface, they dared not defy the wishes of Wang Jianqiang.

They nodded, then turned and left with Wang Jianqiang.

Qin Yun watched Wang Jianqiang's retreating figure, her expression hesitant, seeing that his back was about to disappear from view.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Daoist Friend Wang, please stay your steps."

Hearing the voice from behind, Wang Jianqiang paused, turned to look at Qin Yun, and asked, "Yun'er, is there anything else?"

Qin Yun flashed forward, caught up to him, and said to Wang Jianqiang, "Daoist Friend Wang, why don't you just stay at Cuiyu Garden for now?"

"That way, once Miss Yu'er finishes her seclusion, I can notify you immediately."

Wang Jianqiang was taken aback, a look of hesitation appearing on his face, "This... is it appropriate?"

"Although I, Wang, can guarantee with my character that I will not do anything untoward, I am a grown man staying in Cuiyu Garden."

"Will it affect the reputation of you, Yun'er, or Yu'er?"

Qin Yun smiled and shook her head, "If it were someone else staying here, perhaps it might."

"But Daoist Friend Wang is different..."

"Who in the world doesn't know of Daoist Friend Wang's character?"

Hearing Qin Yun's words, Wang Jianqiang was stunned, then began to laugh, "Since that is the case, then many thanks to you, Yun'er."

To the side, Nancheng Kong was filled with envy.

This was a golden opportunity to have contact with Aunt Yun!

His eyes darted around, and he gave a dry cough, "It just so happens I haven't seen my sister for a while, so I'll stay at Cuiyu Garden temporarily as well."

"No."

As soon as Nancheng Kong finished speaking, Qin Yun refused him flatly without a second thought.

Nancheng Kong's expression stiffened, "Aunt Yun, what do you mean by this? You aren't afraid of Wang Jianqiang staying here, so what could be the problem with me?"

"I am Yu'er's brother; surely you aren't afraid of any rumors spreading?"

Qin Yun sneered, "Rumors might not be an issue, but given your past track record, there's no telling what kind of trouble you might stir up."

"Furthermore, Miss Yu'er explicitly stated that you are not allowed to enter Cuiyu Garden; I cannot disobey the young lady's orders."

Nancheng Kong was choked with anger, "You know how to listen to Yu'er now? Yu'er also said that without her permission, no male is allowed to enter Cuiyu Garden."

"Then why are you letting Wang Jianqiang stay?"

Qin Yun frowned, then let out a cold snort, "Miss Yu'er did indeed give that order, but I have my own private room in Cuiyu Garden, which I am free to arrange."

"At worst, I will just let Daoist Friend Wang stay in my room."
