Chapter 1256: Worrying About a Misunderstanding

Kong Yu did not notice the slightest bit of Wang Jianqiang's small movements.

At this moment, all of her attention had already been drawn in by the content of Nancheng Kong's words.

Wan Guiyuan is nearby?

She could not help but feel a bit worried in her heart.

Between her and Wan Guiyuan, quite a few things had indeed happened.

And she had indeed developed special feelings for Wan Guiyuan.

Wan Guiyuan had also indeed said that he admired her very much.

Back then, she had believed this deeply without a doubt.

But...

As time passed, Wan Guiyuan never contacted her again.

She was no longer certain if Wan Guiyuan's words from back then were sincere.

The reason she had stated this matter so definitively was merely to try and deceive this "Nancheng Kong."

But she had not expected.

Wan Guiyuan was actually nearby!

No wonder Wan Guiyuan had not sent out any news for so many years.

It turned out he had been training in the Sea Region all along.

Just at this moment.

She suddenly saw Nancheng Kong flip his palm and take out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Then, his lips moved slightly as he transmitted a message outward.

There was no need to guess; he was definitely transmitting a message to Wan Guiyuan.

At this moment, Kong Yu's mood was extremely complicated.

There was both worry and a sense of anticipation.

The worry was being rejected by Wan Guiyuan and falling into the hands of Nancheng Kong.

The anticipation was that after missing Wan Guiyuan unilaterally for such a long time, she finally had a chance to receive a response.

Although she was not certain now whether this response would be good or bad.

"I have already sent a message to Brother Wan; at most, in half a day, Brother Wan will arrive."

After Nancheng Kong finished the transmission, he looked at Kong Yu and spoke indifferently, "I hope you haven't lied to me, otherwise..."

"I, Nan, will let you know how formidable I am."

Kong Yu fell silent upon hearing this.

Although she was worried in her heart, she still tried hard to maintain a calm appearance.

Time passed slowly.

Amidst Kong Yu's anxious mood, the half-day passed with great difficulty.

At a certain moment.

A sound of breaking through the air suddenly came faintly.

Kong Yu, who was waiting anxiously, hurriedly looked up.

On the distant horizon, a figure flew over.

The instant she saw that figure, Kong Yu felt a surge of joy, a glimmer of light appearing in her eyes, but then, as if thinking of something, this glimmer of light quickly dimmed.

A moment later.

The distant figure flew over and appeared before the two of them.

"Brother Wan."

Seeing Wan Guiyuan, Nancheng Kong changed his previous overbearing and ostentatious posture, a humble smile appearing on his face.

"Brother Nan."

Wan Guiyuan smiled and nodded, "You said earlier that you ran into an acquaintance of mine..."

As Wan Guiyuan spoke, he looked toward Kong Yu, who was currently restrained in Nancheng Kong's palm.

The instant he saw Kong Yu, his words stopped abruptly.

His brows furrowed tightly.

"Let go."

He suddenly spoke, his voice no longer as gentle as before, even laced with a bit of coldness.

Nancheng Kong was stunned upon hearing this and subconsciously loosened his palm.

Kong Yu felt her chest loosen and regained her freedom.

She looked at Wan Guiyuan, a flash of hesitation crossing her face, "Wan~ Daoist Friend Wan~"

As she spoke, her heart was filled with trepidation.

She was very worried about being met with a cold face from Wan Guiyuan.

But the next moment, the worry in her heart vanished instantly.

Upon hearing her greeting, Wan Guiyuan's tightly furrowed brows immediately smoothed out, and a warm, spring-breeze-like smile appeared on his face.

"Fairy Yu, long time no see."

Seeing the smile on Wang Jianqiang's face and hearing his gentle tone.

Kong Yu suddenly felt a bit choked up.

Back then, she had secretly given her heart to him because of just one sentence from Wan Guiyuan.

But after the trip to the Outer Realm Battlefield, Wan Guiyuan had never appeared again, and she had even thought that she had been deceived by Wan Guiyuan.

It seems now...

Things do not appear to be as bad as she had imagined.

Wan Guiyuan did not ignore her; it was just that he was busy cultivating and had not managed to contact her.

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly felt clear and bright.

"Daoist Friend Wan."

She called out softly, her figure flashed, and she appeared beside Wan Guiyuan.

After a flash of hesitation crossed her face, she took the initiative to hold Wang Jianqiang's palm.

Wan Guiyuan held Kong Yu's palm back tightly, looked at Kong Yu, and said softly, "Fairy Yu'er, here..."

"What happened?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Yu looked at "Nancheng Kong".

Before Kong Yu could speak.

"Nancheng Kong" suddenly revealed an embarrassed expression and spoke first, "Daoist Friend Wan, it is all a misunderstanding."

Wan Guiyuan looked at Nancheng Kong with a serious expression and did not speak.

Nancheng Kong seemed to be very wary of Wan Guiyuan; seeing this, he hurriedly explained, "I happened to run into Fairy Yu'er earlier, and Brother Wan, you know my personality; Fairy Yu'er is so beautiful, cough cough..."

Having said this, he changed the subject, seemingly afraid that Wan Guiyuan would misunderstand, and quickly explained, "But Daoist Friend Wan, rest assured, I haven't had the chance to do anything yet."

"After learning of her relationship with you from Fairy Yu'er's own mouth, I immediately contacted you and did not touch her in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, Wan Guiyuan looked at Kong Yu.

Kong Yu nodded.

Wan Guiyuan's expression eased slightly, and he looked at Nancheng Kong again, "In that case, many thanks to Brother Nan for giving Wan some face."

"Brother Wan is joking; it is I, Nan, who should be apologizing to Brother Wan." Nancheng Kong smiled reluctantly.

"The ignorant are not guilty."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

Hearing Wan Guiyuan's words, Nancheng Kong let out a long sigh of relief, and then, seemingly feeling uncomfortable, said, "Brother Wan, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

"I will visit Brother Wan another day to offer a formal apology."

He greeted Wan Guiyuan and left quickly.

His appearance was somewhat dejected.

Kong Yu watched all of this, her heart in a daze.

This Nancheng Kong is a terrifying existence whose strength is enough to easily crush Senior Brother Xuan Che.

Yet, when facing Wan Guiyuan, he was so wary, one could even say fearful!

At this moment, an indescribable sense of security suddenly appeared in Kong Yu's heart.

It was as if no matter what he encountered, he could handle it calmly and unhurriedly.

This feeling of stability was something she had never felt from Senior Brother Xuan Che.

At this time.

Wan Guiyuan turned his head and looked at her with a gentle expression, "Fairy Yu'er, did you come to the Sea Region by yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Yu opened her mouth, about to say something.

Suddenly, she held it back.

She nodded lightly.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Although there are no Sea Clan forces in the peripheral areas of the Sea Region within these hundred thousand miles, it does not mean that there are no Sea Clan Cultivators lurking about; it is still very dangerous."

"How about this, I will see you back."

"No, there is no need."

"I can go back by myself, many thanks for your concern, Daoist Friend Wan."

Upon hearing this, Kong Yu suddenly realized.

Perhaps Senior Brother has not fled far; if Daoist Friend Wan sees her off, what if they run into Senior Brother?

She was not worried about Daoist Friend Wan coming to any harm, as he could even scare off Nancheng Kong.

She was only worried that Daoist Friend Wan would misunderstand something after seeing Senior Brother.
