Chapter 1229: The Regretful Nancheng Kong

By the time she finished speaking, Qin Yun's face had already turned red.

Hearing Qin Yun's words, Nancheng Kong's expression stalled.

Realizing he had seemingly tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice instead, a wave of annoyance rose in his heart.

"Ahem..."

"There are plenty of rooms in Cuiyu Garden, Aunt Yun, just arrange it as you please; there is no need to wrong yourself."

"I was just saying it, please don't take it to heart."

Qin Yun looked at Nancheng Kong indifferently, "How I make arrangements is no concern of yours."

Nancheng Kong was still somewhat uneasy and was just about to say something more.

Suddenly, he saw Wang Jianqiang turn his head and glance at him.

That glance showed not a hint of anything unusual; in fact, the corners of Wang Jianqiang's mouth even held a kind smile.

But for some reason, the moment Wang Jianqiang's gaze fell upon him,

he felt a chill inexplicably rise in his heart.

His heart skipped a beat.

Only then did he realize that in his excitement, he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

He was clearly undermining Wang Jianqiang.

If this guy held a grudge...

Thinking of this, he immediately shuddered, his scalp tingling.

He gave a dry laugh and, keeping his composure, looked at Qin Yun, "Alright, I won't worry about it, I'll get lost now."

After speaking, he looked at Wang Jianqiang again, "Boss, you go ahead and get busy, call me if you need anything."

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile, "Remember what I told you before you came."

Nancheng Kong nodded calmly.

He left quickly.

After Nancheng Kong left, Qin Yun looked at Wang Jianqiang with a face full of curiosity, "Daoist Friend Wang, what did you say to Nancheng Kong?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "I urged him to change himself and shed his playboy nature."

"I hope he can keep his promise."

By the time he finished, Wang Jianqiang sighed.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's tone, Qin Yun curled her lips, "It is easier to change rivers and mountains than a person's nature."

"Daoist Friend Wang has good intentions, I just fear they will be treated like a donkey's liver and lungs by that kid Nancheng Kong."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "No matter, since I have accepted Nancheng Kong as a friend, I have no intention of giving up on him."

"Sooner or later, I will make him turn back from his misguided path."

Sensing the determination revealed in Wang Jianqiang's expression, Qin Yun once again showed a look of reverence.

Confident, open-minded.

Possessing pride but not arrogance.

Is this the quality of a Top-tier Prodigy?

He is truly worthy of being the person she admires.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang, her eyes sparkling, "Daoist Friend Wang, follow me."

"I will arrange a place for you to stay."

Wang Jianqiang nodded and followed Qin Yun into Cuiyu Garden.

The layout inside Cuiyu Garden was very elegant.

Qin Yun and Wang Jianqiang walked one after the other along a winding path inside Cuiyu Garden.

Qin Yun's waist was slender, and as she walked, her slim waist swayed quite naturally.

This made her already stunning waist-to-hip ratio even more eye-catching.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze drifted, his thoughts gradually wandering far away.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Qin Yun, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

Wang Jianqiang, following behind, seemed not to have reacted in time and bumped straight into her.

Qin Yun stumbled, her face immediately turning rosy.

"Ahem, Yun'er, I was just thinking about some things and got a bit distracted."

A look of apology appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face.

"It's alright."

Qin Yun waved her hands repeatedly and immediately changed the subject, "Daoist Friend Wang, please come in with me."

After speaking, she formed a few hand seals and pointed toward a Pavilion in front.

A flash of Spirit Light passed over the Pavilion, and the door opened automatically.

Qin Yun signaled to Wang Jianqiang with her eyes, then walked inside.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Qin Yun's amazingly curved back and recalled the elasticity from just a moment ago.

He grinned and followed her inside.

"Daoist Friend Wang, although you are a friend of Miss Yu'er, I have no authority to let you stay in Cuiyu Garden without Miss Yu'er's permission."

"Therefore..."

"Before Miss Yu'er comes out of seclusion, you will have to make do with staying here with me for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile, "No matter, that you, Yun'er, are willing to let me stay here is already a great trust in me."

"Daoist Friend Wang need not be so polite; I have already said that I have absolute confidence in your character." Qin Yun smiled gently.

Afterward, she came before a room and opened the door.

The room was very spacious, and the furnishings were quite exquisite.

"Daoist Friend Wang, you shall stay in this room for now."

"I usually live in the room next door; if you have any needs, Daoist Friend Wang, feel free to ask me."

"Of the two rooms opposite, one is a Cultivation Room, and the other..."

"That room is mostly unoccupied during the day, but... Daoist Friend, try your best not to go near it."

Qin Yun was very patiently introducing everything here to Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang did not interrupt halfway through and listened patiently the entire time.

After Qin Yun finished explaining, he entered his room.

Just as Qin Yun was about to return to her own room, she seemed to think of something; she looked at the room opposite, and her heart stirred.

She left the Pavilion, walked out of Cuiyu Garden, and headed in one direction.

She had only just left Cuiyu Garden.

A figure suddenly appeared before her.

"Aunt Yun."

Nancheng Kong had not left.

The moment he thought of Wang Jianqiang, this hungry wolf, potentially devouring the little lamb he had been coveting for so many years at any moment, he felt endless guilt.

He regretted using the rules of Nangong Yu to restrict Qin Yun.

Although he had later relented, Qin Yun had a stubborn personality.

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned Nangong Yu's rules, but since he had, Qin Yun would likely carry them out to the end.

By then...

Wouldn't she be eaten clean by this evil wolf in sheep's clothing, Wang Jianqiang?

"Nancheng Kong?"

Upon seeing Nancheng Kong, Qin Yun frowned, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Nancheng Kong looked cautiously into Cuiyu Garden and whispered, "Aunt Yun, I stayed behind to tell you that that brat Wang Jianqiang is a despicable and shameless villain; his heart is even blacker than mine. You must be careful."

"Don't let him... *ahem*... do that to you."

Hearing Nancheng Kong's words, Qin Yun's expression immediately darkened, "Nancheng Kong, you are becoming more and more base."

"Daoist Friend Wang spared no regard for his own reputation to befriend you, and he has taken great pains to lead you onto the right path."

"Is this how you repay him?"

Nancheng Kong's expression stiffened, "Aunt Yun, keep your voice down, don't let Wang Jianqiang hear."

"What, feeling guilty like a thief?" Qin Yun sneered.

"Aunt Yun, I'm telling the truth."

Nancheng Kong's expression was urgent; he looked into Cuiyu Garden again, his expression full of trepidation, "Aunt Yun, let's leave here first, and I'll tell you more."

Qin Yun frowned, subconsciously wanting to refuse.

However, thinking that this matter concerned the reputation of Daoist Friend Wang, she changed her mind.

She nodded faintly and walked in one direction with Nancheng Kong.

Not long after the two of them left.

A figure appeared outside Cuiyu Garden.

She pointed a finger.

The Restriction outside Cuiyu Garden opened automatically.

She walked into Cuiyu Garden as if familiar with the path, followed the small trail, and arrived outside the Pavilion where Qin Yun lived.

She cast several hand seals.

The Pavilion door opened on its own.

She strolled inside.
