Chapter 1302: A Chance Encounter with Mingchen

Three days later.

Wang Jianqiang calculated the time and withdrew.

A flash of Spirit Light appeared on his body, and he was fully prepared to depart.

The next moment.

The space rippled like water, and a surge of Space Power enveloped him in the blink of an eye.

"Little Mingyan, once you leave the Phantom Spirit Realm, I will come to find you again."

"I am leaving first."

Wang Jianqiang laughed heartily.

The next moment.

His figure seemed to be swallowed by that rippling space and vanished instantly.

After Wang Jianqiang left.

Mingyan stood up from the pool, looking at the spot where Wang Jianqiang had been before disappearing, her pretty face icy cold.

"Tianyu, is it?"

"When I return to the Mermaid Clan, I will surely make you pay the price!"

……

On a Square in the Inner City District of the Mermaid Clan, a flash of Spirit Light appeared.

A figure flashed into view.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the irregular Jade Stone in front of him, a rich smile spreading across his face.

Now that the Ocean Heart had been obtained, and the Three-Pattern Taiqing Profound Spirit Pill had been successfully refined.

Next, it was time to find an opportunity to break through to the Integration Stage and attempt to gather information about Xiaobai and Luo Yunshang.

He took flight and flew toward the outside of the Square.

The Formation at the edge of the Square was a one-way defensive Formation and did not pose the slightest obstacle to him.

He rushed through the light curtain of the Formation and flew toward the Princess Mansion.

Having not seen each other for so long, Lianyin must have missed him.

Let's go to the Princess Mansion to take a look first.

……

Just as Wang Jianqiang was about to arrive at the Princess Mansion, a figure flew toward him from the opposite direction.

The person who arrived was a youth who was incredibly handsome.

Upon seeing Wang Jianqiang, the other party's expression shifted, and he greeted him with a face full of smiles.

"Brother Tianyu, have you returned from the Phantom Spirit Realm?"

Mingchen?

Seeing the person who arrived.

Wang Jianqiang raised his eyebrows, "I have just stepped out of the Phantom Spirit Realm and was about to go report to Her Highness the Princess."

"I didn't expect to run into His Highness the Prince; what a coincidence."

Mingchen smiled in a very friendly manner, "How was it? Did you obtain the Water Moon Flower?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile, "I obtained it. With this Water Moon Flower, there will be no problems with the cultivation of my Technique. Many thanks to His Highness the Prince for giving me this opportunity to enter the Phantom Spirit Realm."

"Hey, we are friends, after all. Helping each other is only right," Mingchen waved his hand.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, looking moved. Afterward, he glanced toward the Princess Mansion, then looked back at Mingchen.

He hesitated and said, "His Highness the Prince is..."

"Coming from the Princess Mansion?"

A touch of embarrassment appeared on Mingchen's face, and he nodded, "I knew you had gone into the Phantom Spirit Realm and wouldn't be back for a short time."

"During that period, I couldn't help myself and visited Lianyin a few times."

"What was the result?" Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

The look of embarrassment on Mingchen's face became even more pronounced, "I was turned away at the door every time and couldn't see Lianyin."

"I knew it would be like this."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Your Highness is foolish. Haven't I already told you? This matter cannot be rushed; you shouldn't have been so impatient."

"By doing this, other than leaving Her Highness the Princess with the impression that you are pestering her, lowering your own status, and increasing the difficulty for me to play matchmaker, it has no effect at all."

Mingchen's expression stalled, and a look of apology appeared on his face, "Brother Tianyu, I was too impulsive. My apologies."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang shook his head with a smile, "His Highness the Prince need not worry too much. After all, my experience in playing matchmaker is quite extensive."

"Although His Highness the Prince's actions have increased the difficulty of my work, it is still not enough to stump me."

"However, I hope that in the future, before obtaining my consent, His Highness the Prince will not rashly approach Her Highness the Princess again."

Mingchen nodded repeatedly, promising solemnly, "Brother Tianyu, rest assured, it won't happen again."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Since that is the case, I won't delay His Highness the Prince any longer."

"Having not seen Her Highness the Princess for a long time, I must go to the Princess Mansion as soon as possible, and while I'm at it, see if I can find an opportunity to erase the bad impression your pestering has caused Her Highness the Princess."

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, Brother Tianyu. Brother Tianyu must communicate well with Lianyin," Mingchen said with delight.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "His Highness the Prince should not hold too much hope; I also have to find an opportunity to seize the moment."

"The possibility of eliminating the influence in a short time is not high."

"Yes, yes, yes, seizing the moment is good. Brother Tianyu only needs to seize the moment; there is no need to be too deliberate, so as not to attract Lianyin's attention," Mingchen nodded repeatedly.

"It is good that His Highness the Prince can understand."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Just about to head to the Princess Mansion.

Mingchen seemed to suddenly think of something and spoke up to stop Wang Jianqiang, "Brother Tianyu, please stay your steps for a moment."

"Does His Highness the Prince have other matters?"

Wang Jianqiang stopped his steps, turned around, and looked at Mingchen with confusion.

Mingchen pondered for a moment and said with slight hesitation, "Brother Tianyu, when you entered the Phantom Spirit Realm earlier, did you encounter any other clansmen?"

Wang Jianqiang's gaze flickered, and he shook his head calmly, "I did not encounter any. Why? Are there other clansmen inside the Phantom Spirit Realm?"

"Ah, it's nothing, just curious and asking. Brother Tianyu may go now."

Mingchen shook his head repeatedly.

Wang Jianqiang nodded and turned to leave.

The moment he turned, a look of contemplation flashed in his eyes.

Mingchen was born of the Gold Scale Lineage.

Mingyan was also born of the Gold Scale Lineage.

Mingchen could be considered the number one prodigy of the Gold Scale Lineage, and Mingyan's talent was also not ordinary.

These two people must certainly know each other.

It was even very likely that their relationship was not shallow.

Precisely because of this, he chose to lie and conceal the matter between himself and Mingyan.

As for whether Mingyan would leak this matter...

He was not worried in the slightest.

Once this matter spread, it would obviously plunge him into a crisis.

Mingyan was bound by the Beast Taming Art and could not do anything detrimental to him.

Naturally, she could not take the initiative to spread this matter.

On the other side.

Mingchen watched Wang Jianqiang walk away until Wang Jianqiang's back completely disappeared from his field of vision.

Only then did he withdraw his gaze and let out a long sigh of relief.

Back when he handed the Phantom Spirit Realm key to Tianyu, he had overlooked one very important matter.

By the time he went to find Tianyu again, Tianyu had already entered the Phantom Spirit Realm.

This had caused him quite a while of worry.

Fortunately...

Tianyu did not seem to have run into her.

Otherwise...

If her cultivation had been delayed, his own transgression would be great indeed.
