Chapter 169: There Aren't Many Good People Like Daoist Friend Lin

Ten hours later.

"Stop~"

"Daoist Friend Wang, wait a moment."

Tu Youyou spoke suddenly and took out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

"What? Is it Long Aoyu?"

Wang Jianqiang paused and raised an eyebrow.

Tu Youyou nodded, "Long Aoyu just asked me to go to his residence, saying he wants to introduce me to a few friends."

"Just tell him to get lost," Wang Jianqiang curled his lip.

"That wouldn't be appropriate," Tu Youyou shook her head, "Youyou feels it is better to go. This way, not only can I keep track of the movements of Long Aoyu and the others at any time, but I can also probe the strength of their group and prepare in advance."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang laughed, "Fairy Tu is indeed meticulous and capable. Since that is the case, then you should go."

Tu Youyou nodded.

She quickly dressed neatly and left the Small Space where Wang Jianqiang resided.

In front of the main gate of Wang Jianqiang's residence, a spatial opening appeared.

Tu Youyou walked out from it, turned to the side gate, and reached out to trigger the Array outside the door.

Inside the Small Space.

Long Aoyu was sitting and talking with a group of people.

"It is truly worthy of being a top-tier residence."

"Daoist Friend Long, this residence is truly enviable."

"With this residence and the resources within to assist, Daoist Friend Long's future cultivation will surely be like a tiger gaining wings."

Listening to the flattery of the crowd, Long Aoyu felt a sense of pride in his heart.

Just then, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation in the Array outside the residence, his eyes lit up, and he smiled at the crowd.

"Everyone, the Saintess of my sect has arrived."

As he spoke, he had already opened the entrance to this Small Space.

A moment later.

A tall figure appeared before everyone.

Seeing this stunning figure, everyone's eyes lit up one after another, revealing looks of admiration.

"Is this the Saintess of your noble sect?"

"Truly as Daoist Friend Long said, her immortal grace is unparalleled."

"Such immortal grace is something this Lu has only seen once in his life."

"Daoist Friend Long has unparalleled style, and Fairy Tu has peerless immortal grace; you are truly a talented man and a beautiful woman."

Hearing the voices of the crowd, a smile curled at the corner of Long Aoyu's mouth.

Tu Youyou was destined to be his.

The crowd's praise for Tu Youyou was also equivalent to praising him.

"Youyou, come over and sit."

Long Aoyu beckoned to Tu Youyou.

Tu Youyou's gaze swept over the nine people beside Long Aoyu, she nodded, and sat on the chair next to Long Aoyu.

Afterward, Long Aoyu began to introduce the nine people beside him to Tu Youyou one by one.

During this time, Tu Youyou did not interject, only nodding silently.

After the introductions, Dan Lingzi suddenly spoke, "The Saintess's complexion seems a bit poor; is something uncomfortable?"

Hearing Dan Lingzi's words, Long Aoyu was startled and looked carefully at Tu Youyou's complexion.

Only then did he discover that Tu Youyou's complexion was indeed a bit pale, and there seemed to be deep exhaustion lingering between her brows.

He immediately revealed a look of concern, "Youyou, what is wrong? Are you alright?"

Tu Youyou's expression stiffened, then she quickly returned to normal and shook her head, "I am fine, just had some trouble during cultivation, nothing serious."

"You, you really don't know how to take care of yourself."

"Didn't I instruct you not to be too impatient with your cultivation?"

Hearing Tu Youyou's words, Long Aoyu shook his head helplessly, "Although cultivation is important, one must also balance work and rest."

Tu Youyou shook her head, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother, I am fine."

Long Aoyu shook his head helplessly.

Just then, Dan Lingzi suddenly said with admiration, "Haha, the Saintess's perseverance is beyond that of ordinary people. In the future, she will surely advance by leaps and bounds on the path of cultivation. Dan admires this; no wonder Daoist Friend Long is so concerned and attentive."

As Dan Lingzi's voice fell, the voices of others rang out one after another.

"Indeed, such great perseverance!"

"Worthy of being the Saintess of the same sect as Daoist Friend Long!"

"Truly an outstanding person!"

"I admire you!"

Tu Youyou knew very well where her exhaustion came from.

The crowd's praise made her feel somewhat awkward, and she could only remain silent.

It was Long Aoyu, however, who was full of pride, responding to them one by one, which could be considered as having eased the situation for her.

Afterward, the group began to chat idly.

Not long after, someone suddenly asked Long Aoyu, "Daoist Friend Long, when shall we head to the North City District?"

Upon hearing this, Long Aoyu could not help but have the image of his neighbor, "Daoist Friend Lin," whom he had met earlier, flash through his mind, along with the perfect Wang Jianqiang that Daoist Friend Lin had spoken of.

A look of gravity flashed across his expression.

When he had first arrived in this Shenfeng City, he had been full of confidence about reaching the top of the Shenfeng City Battle Stele.

However, after hearing the warning from the enthusiastic Daoist Friend Lin, this confidence had been dampened quite a bit.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Long has just received some news, news regarding the number one on the Battle Stele."

Hearing Long Aoyu's words, the group perked up and looked toward him.

Long Aoyu took a deep breath and said with a grave expression, "That number one on the Battle Stele... is named Wang Jianqiang."

Hearing his words, the group was stunned.

"That Wang Jianqiang who is ranked first in the Pill Tower?"

"That's right."

Long Aoyu nodded with a grave expression.

Upon hearing Long Aoyu's confirmation, the group looked at one another, then revealed looks of disbelief.

Among them, the one who found it most impossible to accept was Dan Lingzi.

"How is this possible?"

"Daoist Friend Long, could you have made a mistake?"

He stared at Long Aoyu and could not help but press him.

He knew very well how much effort a powerful Alchemist had to pour into the Pill Dao.

A person's energy is limited.

For a Pill Dao genius, being able to ensure their Pill Dao advances courageously while their cultivation base does not fall behind their peers is already considered quite formidable.

To want to reach the very top in both paths?

It is almost impossible!

Long Aoyu heard this and shook his head with a bitter smile, "Long did not dare to believe it at first either, but the facts are just so."

Having said this, he paused, then continued, "According to the news Long received, that Wang Jianqiang is a man of talent and appearance, as elegant as jade, and he is also overflowing with talent, firm and decisive, possesses unparalleled aptitude, and is both wise and brave; he is a person who is very difficult to deal with."

Hearing Long Aoyu's words, the group was stunned.

How is this "difficult to deal with"?

It is simply perfect without the slightest flaw!

Does such a person really exist in this world?

Just as the group was filled with suspicion, a strange look flashed across Tu Youyou's face.

He looked at Long Aoyu and could not help but ask, "Senior Brother, where did your news come from?"

Long Aoyu heard Tu Youyou's inquiry and smiled, "Is Junior Sister doubting the source of Senior Brother's news?"

"Senior Brother can guarantee that the source of the news is absolutely reliable."

Having said this, he looked at Dan Lingzi and the others again and said, "This news was obtained from a Daoist Friend surnamed Lin, who lives right next door to Long."

"He is the number one person in the Artifact Dao of Shenfeng City."

Hearing Long Aoyu's words, Dan Lingzi and the others all nodded.

"Such a figure must be a person whose word is worth its weight in gold."

"Top-tier figures like this cherish their reputations very much and would certainly not lie."

"In that case, that Wang Jianqiang is indeed quite extraordinary."

"Daoist Friend Lin?"

While the others were still immersed in the perfect persona of Wang Jianqiang, Tu Youyou could not help but speak up to confirm this with Long Aoyu.

Long Aoyu nodded, a look of admiration appearing on his face.

"That's right, although Long has only met Daoist Friend Lin once, I could feel that Daoist Friend Lin is a very enthusiastic and forthright person."

"He is helpful and answers every question Long has."

"In this world today, there are not many good people left like Daoist Friend Lin."
