Chapter 1398: Meeting Jiayue Again

Jiayue looked at the Sea Giant Clan Great Elder with a calm expression, her eyes filled with determination.

Seeing this, the Sea Giant Clan Great Elder paused, his gaze flickering for a moment before he said softly, "Jiayue, today's matter is not a private affair, but concerns the clan's policy. I need a reason."

Upon hearing this, Jiayue's expression did not change in the slightest, remaining calm, "A friend of a good friend of mine is a Cultivator of the Jade Clam Clan."

The Sea Giant Clan Great Elder was stunned.

His brows furrowed tightly.

After a good while, he suddenly laughed, "A friend of a friend? Calculated this way, it could also be considered your friend."

"Since that is the case, then the Jade Clam Clan and our Sea Giant Clan can also be considered friends."

Having said this, he looked at Bei Lingyun again, the expression on his face changing from before, filled with a gentle smile, "The matter in the Treasure Land was just a slight misunderstanding. As for compensation, let it be dropped."

The Sea Giant Clan Great Elder's change in attitude was too great and too sudden.

Bei Lingyun only reacted after a moment of being dazed.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "Many thanks to the Great Elder for your understanding."

Afterwards, she looked at the person who had spoken, a flash of gratitude appearing in her eyes, "Many thanks, Fairy Jiayue."

"Senior, you are too kind."

Jiayue shook her head.

Following this, the interaction between the two clans changed from its previous tense state.

It turned into something relaxed and pleasant.

Jiayue seemed to have lost some patience and stood up, "Great Elder, you all continue chatting, I would like to go out for a walk."

The Great Elder did not think much of it and nodded.

Bei Lingyun's heart stirred; she flicked her finger, and an exquisite Jade Order the size of half a palm appeared before Jiayue.

"Holding this order, you may move about within my Jade Clam Clan at will."

"Many thanks, Senior."

Jiayue smiled and reached out to catch the Spirit Token before her.

Wang Jianqiang was lying leisurely in his residence.

Having been idle for many days and feeling restless, he was preparing to make a trip to the Necklace Space.

Since coming out of the Phantom Spirit Realm, he had not stopped supplying resources to Lan Nianbing.

He did not know to what extent Lan Nianbing's cultivation had recovered by now.

He prepared to take advantage of this free time to check properly.

Just as he was preparing to enter the Necklace Space, a message was suddenly received on his Sound Transmission Talisman.

With a movement of his consciousness, a familiar voice rang out in his mind.

Jiayue?

Hearing this voice, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow, then revealed a faint smile.

Just a moment ago, Jiayue told him that she had arrived at the Jade Clam Clan.

At this moment, she was preparing to come find him.

Wang Jianqiang moved his consciousness and told Jiayue his location.

Not long after.

A tall yet slender and graceful figure appeared before Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and leaped up.

He hung himself onto Jiayue.

He laughed and said, "Little treasure, when did you arrive?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's form of address, Jiayue pursed her lips and smiled, "I just arrived, and I came to find you, Brother Qiang, the very first moment."

As she spoke, she reached out to support Wang Jianqiang, holding him against her chest.

At first, Wang Jianqiang didn't think anything of it, but not long after, he suddenly reacted, and his face couldn't help but darken.

Damn it~

No matter how you look at it, this is like holding a child..

He hurriedly jumped down from Jiayue's embrace, staring at her again and again, always feeling that Jiayue was intentionally teasing him.

Jiayue felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at, looked herself over, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Qiang, what's wrong?"

"Is there something wrong with me?"

Wang Jianqiang did not see anything unusual on Jiayue's face.

He withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Ahem, nothing, just suddenly felt like you've become even more beautiful."

"Really?"

Jiayue was full of surprise, looked herself over carefully again, and looked at Wang Jianqiang with a puzzled face, "It seems there's no difference from before."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "With a Magic Treasure blocking, how could one tell?"

"Come, put away your Magic Treasure, let Brother Qiang take a look at you."

"Oh."

Jiayue nodded and was just about to do as told.

Wang Jianqiang suddenly reached out and stopped her again, "Wait, it seems someone is coming."

Jiayue was startled, "Who?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "An informant I arranged earlier."

"An informant?"

Jiayue was taken aback.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "You will know in a moment."

After speaking, he pointed to a room, "You go inside and hide first."

Jiayue nodded.

Her figure flashed, she entered the room Wang Jianqiang had pointed to, and then tightly shut the door.

Wang Jianqiang withdrew his gaze, moved his intent, and opened the Array outside the residence.

A moment later.

A figure flew in hurriedly.

"Greetings, Daoist Friend Tianyu."

Upon seeing Wang Jianqiang, a reserved yet charming smile immediately appeared on the newcomer's pretty face.

"So it is you, sister."

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile, "Back then, I asked sister to help me keep an eye on Biyan'er's whereabouts; have you gained any results by coming here so suddenly today?"

Hearing this, the newcomer nodded with an excited face.

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up, "Where is Biyan'er now?"

The newcomer opened her mouth, preparing to speak.

Immediately after, as if thinking of something, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Daoist Friend Tianyu, is the heavy reward you mentioned earlier true?"

Wang Jianqiang was taken aback, then began to laugh, "Naturally, it is true."

Hearing this, the joy on the newcomer's face instantly became intense.

Following that, she quickly suppressed the joy on her face and waved her hand with a magnanimous expression, "Daoist Friend Tianyu, whether there is a heavy reward or not is unimportant; we are all friends, and helping each other is only right."

"Sister is wrong to say that."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "I have already said it so many times; I, Tianyu, have always been one to never treat friends unfairly. If sister acts like this, wouldn't you be putting me in an unrighteous position?"

"This..."

"Daoist Friend Tianyu, please do not be angry; blame me, sister. It was I who spoke wrongly. If you feel uncomfortable, you may punish me; I will certainly not say a single word of 'no'."

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up, then, as if thinking of something, he glanced at the room to his side without changing his expression and said with a chuckle, "This... let's talk about the punishment later; sister should first tell me about Biyan'er's whereabouts."
