Chapter 545: Meeting Xuanyi Again

"This child is becoming more and more lacking in propriety lately."

"To even provoke someone as magnanimous and upright as you, Daoist Friend Wang, is simply too much."

Gu Xinran was still somewhat angry.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and offered a few words of comfort.

Gu Xinran's expression gradually recovered.

Feng Yichen had been watching the two of them the entire time, not daring to interject.

What he found somewhat unacceptable was this:

Regarding such "transgressive" behavior from Wang Jianqiang, his aunt actually showed not the slightest resistance or avoidance.

No way, right?

This scoundrel Wang Jianqiang wouldn't really be about to become his uncle-in-law, would he?

"Oh, look at me being muddled, I was only focused on being angry."

"Let's go inside to talk."

Gu Xinran gave Wang Jianqiang a gentle smile.

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

His arm did not let go.

The two walked toward the courtyard gate together.

"Yichen, why haven't you opened the gate yet?"

After the two reached the courtyard entrance and saw the gate was tightly shut, Gu Xinran frowned and glanced at Feng Yichen.

"Oh~ alright~"

Feng Yichen subconsciously opened the courtyard gate.

Afterward, the two walked inside.

Feng Yichen rubbed his brow in distress.

What kind of situation was this?

Wang Jianqiang, his own arch-rival and junior fellow student.

Now, in a sudden turn of events, he was actually a generation above him.

How was he supposed to face him in the future?

Forget it.

Uncle Wang it is, then.

Fortunately, his aunt was still relatively restrained and didn't make him call him Uncle-in-law directly.

After conversing with Gu Xinran for a long time.

Gu Xinran ended the conversation with a hint of reluctance and proposed leaving the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

As a Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Student who had already graduated.

Being able to enter and exit the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace at will was already the Instructors giving her face.

If she stayed here too long, it would put the Instructors in a difficult position.

Afterward, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

"Aunt, take care on the road."

Feng Yichen looked at Gu Xinran and said with concern.

Gu Xinran nodded faintly.

"Xinran, take care," Wang Jianqiang said.

"Mm, until we meet again, Daoist Friend Wang." Gu Xinran looked at Wang Jianqiang tenderly and slowly flew into the air.

"If you have the chance, you must come visit my Gu Family."

"I will."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded.

Gu Xinran smiled at Wang Jianqiang, turned around, and flew toward the distant horizon.

Watching Gu Xinran's departing back.

Feng Yichen felt a pang of heartache.

When his aunt left, the only person she paid attention to was this bastard Wang Jianqiang.

She didn't even spare him a single glance.

After Gu Xinran's figure disappeared.

Wang Jianqiang withdrew his gaze, looked at Feng Yichen, and said with a beaming smile, "Great nephew, Uncle is heading back now. If you need anything in the future, just come find Uncle. Don't be a stranger, we're all family."

Having said that, he ignored Feng Yichen's dark expression.

With his hands behind his back, he strolled leisurely back toward his residence.

One month later.

Wang Jianqiang was cultivating inside the Cultivation Room.

A figure suddenly flashed into view.

Seeing the person who arrived, Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

He stood up and bowed to the other party, "Greetings, Vice Palace Master."

The person who arrived was none other than Nian Qinghe.

Nian Qinghe nodded and looked at Wang Jianqiang, "The result of your application to increase the reward share is out."

Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred.

After he returned, he had reported the mission process to Nian Qinghe through his Identity Jade Token.

And he had put forward a request to increase the mission difficulty and raise the reward.

At the time, Nian Qinghe did not respond to him directly.

Instead, she said she needed to submit an application.

After that, there was no news.

A whole month had passed, and the result was finally out.

"How is it?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at Nian Qinghe's beautiful face and asked.

Nian Qinghe smiled, "Not bad. The original mission reward was only 30 points, but now..."

"It has increased a bit."

"Increased to how much?" Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up.

Nian Qinghe glanced at Wang Jianqiang, "One thousand points."

Upon hearing this, a thick look of joy immediately appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face.

The points of the Dark Pavilion could be used to exchange for various items.

One point was roughly equivalent to one hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

That is to say, after this mission, he had earned one hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Of course.

That is how one compares it.

But the purchasing power of points and Mid-grade Spirit Stones is completely different.

Many high-level items are very difficult to buy in the outside world, or even priceless and unmarketable.

Yet in the Dark Pavilion, there are many high-level treasures with clearly marked prices.

Items that cannot be bought with Spirit Stones in the outside world can be bought in the Dark Pavilion with points.

One hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones might not count for much relative to Wang Jianqiang's current net worth.

But the value of one thousand points cannot be ignored.

To him, it could be considered quite precious.

"Your Dark Pavilion points will be automatically displayed on your Identity Jade Token; if you want to buy any items, just contact me."

"Someone will be sent to deliver them to you then."

"As for the points, they will be automatically deducted after purchasing items."

Nian Qinghe's voice continued to come through.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Understood."

Nian Qinghe stared at Wang Jianqiang, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "I heard you obtained a lot of Ancient Cultivator Blood; would you be willing to sell some?"

"The Dark Pavilion can offer a high price to purchase it."

Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred.

"What is the price?"

Nian Qinghe pondered for a moment, "I only wanted to consult your opinion first this time; if you are willing, I will report it to the Dark Pavilion after I return."

"At that time, there will be a specialized Dark Pavilion member to coordinate with you."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "That is fine."

He had a lot of Ancient Cultivator Blood, and he had no use for it right now anyway, so if the price was right, he wouldn't mind selling some.

"Good, three days later, I will bring the person from the Dark Pavilion to discuss it with you."

Nian Qinghe nodded and was about to leave.

A voice suddenly came, "By the way, Vice Palace Master, this student has a suggestion, though I don't know if I should say it."

Nian Qinghe's expression stirred, "Speak."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "Next time you come, could you knock first? You appear and disappear so unpredictably; what if I were doing something in the room?"

"Wouldn't that be quite awkward?"

Upon hearing this, Nian Qinghe nodded, "In that case, you come to my place in three days."

"That works too."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "It will be a good chance to learn the way, and it will be more convenient if there is anything in the future."

Nian Qinghe glanced at Wang Jianqiang, her expression revealing not a shred of emotion.

The next moment.

She suddenly disappeared.

Deep within the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

In a Pavilion.

Nian Qinghe flashed into view.

Thinking of Wang Jianqiang's words just now, her face couldn't help but flush red.

This little brat is getting more and more outrageous.

He actually dared to joke with her, a Vice Palace Master, to her face.

I must teach him a lesson later.

Otherwise, how could things go on like this?

……

Three days later.

Wang Jianqiang received a voice transmission from Nian Qinghe.

Following the directions in Nian Qinghe's voice transmission, he entered Nian Qinghe's Residence Space.

When he saw Nian Qinghe again.

Another figure was standing beside Nian Qinghe.

That was a middle-aged man with a faint smile on his face.

The middle-aged man had a kind face and appeared to have an extremely good temper.

But the moment he saw the other person, Wang Jianqiang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

This person.

Isn't he that unreliable Instructor who managed the Transmission Array when he returned from his break back then?
