Chapter 564: Good Fortune

Upon hearing Xuanyi's words.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head repeatedly.

"How could that be?"

"How could a junior like me address a senior of such high virtue and prestige by their name? That would be far too rude!"

Hearing the word "senior" once again.

Lan Feng glanced at Xuanyi without leaving a trace.

Seeing the latter looking at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, cold sweat actually began to seep from his forehead.

He was truly afraid of being held in contempt by Xuanyi.

He hurriedly looked at Wang Jianqiang, a flash of urgency appearing in his expression.

"Little friend, you mustn't, please do not call me senior anymore; just call me Lan Feng."

"How can that be, Senior, how could I...!"

"Little friend, I beg of you."

"Hm?" "Hm?" "Hm?" "Hm?" "Hm?"

Wang Jianqiang, Xing Li, the Great Star Envoy, Liuchuan, and the Xuanyu Kingdom Lord all looked at Lan Feng in astonishment, as if a giant question mark were hanging over their heads.

Wang Jianqiang was naturally faking it.

But the other four were expressing their true feelings.

Liuchuan and the Xuanyu Palace Master were one thing; they were seeing Lan Feng for the first time and hearing this name for the first time, so they did not know much about him.

But the Great Star Envoy and Xing Li were very clear about Lan Feng's power.

While they had never had the chance to meet him in person while in the Star Palace, they had seen his portrait more than once.

They had heard the legends of this top-tier prodigy of the Star Palace from thousands of years ago countless times.

In terms of status, he was the master of the current Star Lord and one of the three Supreme Elders.

In terms of strength, he was the undisputed number one powerhouse of the Star Palace.

Although he usually paid no heed to worldly affairs, once he made a decision.

No one in the entire Star Palace could refute it.

He could be called the true master of the Star Palace in every sense.

Yet such a legendary powerhouse, a figure looked up to by countless people.

His personality was actually this humble?

No~

This could no longer be described as humble.

It was simply subservient!

Noticing the strange expressions on everyone's faces.

Lan Feng's expression stalled; he gave a dry cough and looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Little friend, I am not good with words; you had better not argue with me, just call me by my name, I am not used to being called senior."

"Otherwise, I will feel uncomfortable all over."

"So that's how it is."

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a look of sudden realization, "Then I~ shall respectfully obey."

Lan Feng let out a long sigh of relief.

He snuck a glance at Xuanyi.

Seeing Xuanyi's gaze lowered, no longer paying attention to him, he let out a long sigh of relief.

He secretly rejoiced in his own wit.

Afterward, his heart stirred, and he looked at Liuchuan, saying after a moment of contemplation, "I am not very clear about the matters between the Star Palace and Liuli Kingdom."

"How about this, I will call the Star Lord over to first understand the cause and effect, and while I'm at it, have him apologize and provide you with some compensation."

Liuchuan was stunned upon hearing this.

Apologize?

Compensation?

The Star Palace had always acted in a tyrannical manner.

He never expected this Star Palace Supreme Elder to be so reasonable!

After coming to his senses, he immediately shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior."

"If Senior can ensure the Star Palace no longer targets Liuli Kingdom, this junior will already be endlessly grateful; as for compensation, there is no need to mention it."

"That won't do."

Lan Feng shook his head, "Since you are with Senior Wang..."

"Hm?" "Hm?" "Hm?" "Hm?" "Hm?"

"Ahem~"

"Since you have a relationship with Daoist Friend Wang, I cannot sit idly by."

"Although I do not know the details, based on my shallow understanding just now, I can judge that the Star Palace has caused you immense harm."

"If I cannot seek justice for you, how could I face Daoist Friend Wang and Daoist Friend Xuanyi?"

Liuchuan was stunned.

He couldn't help but look at Wang Jianqiang and Xuanyi beside him.

Just a moment ago.

When Wang Jianqiang had first appeared, although hope had reignited in his heart, he still did not have much confidence in escaping the Ancient Star Domain.

But...

Who could have imagined?

A Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would have such extensive connections.

They had actually managed to drag a Supreme Elder of the Star Palace into this.

More importantly.

This Supreme Elder of the Star Palace was terrifyingly humble.

It was completely contrary to the Star Palace's usual style of conduct!

The situation had taken a dramatic turn.

Not only did they not have to flee.

The Star Lord, the ostensible ruler of the Star Palace, even had to personally apologize to him and provide compensation!

After a good while.

Liuchuan finally came back to his senses.

Seeing that Lan Feng looked as if he would not rest until compensation was provided, he could only nod.

"This, very well."

Seeing Liuchuan nod, Lan Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A surge of secret joy rose in his heart.

The final excuse had finally been blocked.

Once he provided compensation to Liuli Kingdom, this Karma could be considered concluded.

In the future, Wang Jianqiang surely wouldn't blame the Star Palace for this, right?

If Wang Jianqiang did not pursue the matter, Xuanyi would naturally have no reason to pursue it either.

Thinking of this, he immediately snapped back to reality.

As if afraid that Liuchuan might change his mind.

He directly employed the Star Palace's contact method to reach the Star Lord.

Star Palace.

Inside a towering building.

The Star Lord, having just received the transmission from Lan Feng, was filled with astonishment.

His master actually wanted him to go and apologize to the remnants of Liuli Kingdom!

And he had to prepare compensation items?

And he had to rush to Xuanyu Kingdom at the fastest speed?

His master usually couldn't be bothered with the affairs of the Star Palace, so why was he suddenly concerned about the matters of Xuanyu Kingdom and Liuli Kingdom?

Following that.

His heart skipped a beat.

A figure suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Could it be related to that person?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Xing Li was a remnant of Liuli Kingdom; this matter had already been reported back when the Great Star Envoy returned from vacation last time.

Xing Li and the Great Star Envoy were both cultivating in the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

That Wang Jianqiang was also a student of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

Is it possible?

That Wang Jianqiang and Xing Li are very close?

Perhaps, his trip to the Ancient Star Domain was specifically to help Xing Li, to help the remnants of Liuli Kingdom?

Wang Jianqiang himself was naturally nothing to be afraid of.

The key was...

The person following him was someone who could not be offended!

Furthermore.

Only if it concerned that person.

Would his master be so cautious and attentive.

Thinking of this.

His face turned bitter.

His figure flashed.

He personally went to the sect treasury to select some items.

And hurriedly left the sect.

Outside Xuanyu Kingdom.

The Great Star Envoy was completely stunned.

Many legends circulated within the Star Palace regarding this number one powerhouse of the Star Palace.

Although she had never met Lan Feng in person, from these legends.

She already had a clear judgment of his temperament.

Overbearing, and protective of his own!

This was the most intuitive feeling those legends brought to her.

However, now.

After seeing that series of actions by Liuchuan after appearing.

The Great Star Envoy's heart was filled with bewilderment.

Lan Feng's series of behaviors completely overturned her understanding.

The number one powerhouse of the Star Palace.

A legend of the Star Palace's generation.

Their personality was actually so gentle and humble!

Could it be that she had been mistaken all along?

Was this the true personality of Supreme Elder Lan Feng?

The Great Star Envoy was lost in thought.

Immediately following, she recalled the words the Supreme Elder had said to Wang Jianqiang, and her heart sank.

Supreme Elder Lan Feng held a revered status.

Since he had promised that the Star Palace would no longer make things difficult for Wang Jianqiang, even the Star Lord could not change it.

This meant that.

The bet between Wang Jianqiang and her had ended early!!!

At the mere thought of the consequences of losing the bet.

Her expression could not help but flicker.

Although the Supreme Elder kept saying that he knew about the Star Palace hunting down Wang Jianqiang.

She could be certain that the Supreme Elder definitely only knew the surface and did not know the inside story.

Otherwise, he would absolutely not be so gentle toward Wang Jianqiang.

The Great Star Envoy represented the future ruler of the Star Palace.

Enslaving the Great Star Envoy was clearly an act of humiliating and trampling upon the Star Palace.

For a major power, this could be called an irreconcilable hatred.

Although the Supreme Elder had a deep friendship with that Star Palace Instructor, when facing a choice of great right and wrong like the sect's dignity.

Without a doubt...

He would inevitably choose to stand on the side of the sect's interests.

Since the Supreme Elder did not know the inside story.

Then perhaps she could remind the Supreme Elder.

In this way, the bet would surely be reversed!

Thinking of this.

She looked at Lan Feng and said, "Supreme Elder, you only know that Star Palace powerhouses are hunting Wang Jianqiang, but do you know why they are hunting him?"

Hearing the Great Star Envoy's words, Wang Jianqiang sneered in his heart.

On the surface, however, he revealed a look of shock and anger, "Great Star Envoy, you..."

The Great Star Envoy glanced at Wang Jianqiang indifferently, a flash of triumph in her eyes, and ignored him.

Lan Feng heard this and was stunned for a moment.

He smiled and said, "Of course I know."

The Great Star Envoy's expression froze.

Wang Jianqiang was taken aback, his expression somewhat uneasy.

"If the Great Star Envoy hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten."

Lan Feng looked at Wang Jianqiang with a smile, "Cultivation is inherently time-consuming and laborious. Daoist Friend Wang values my Star Palace's junior, and to guide her cultivation, specifically had her accompany him by his side, even going so far as to spare no effort to plant a Soul Seal; one can see the painstaking effort."

"Lan Feng is deeply grateful."

"Here, I specifically represent the entire Star Palace to thank you, Daoist Friend."

Saying this, he solemnly bowed with cupped hands to Wang Jianqiang.

Seeing this scene.

The Great Star Envoy felt her head could not quite wrap around it.

She recognized every word Lan Feng said.

But when combined together, it made her unable to help but feel dazed.

No...

Is this right?

Does it mean she was enslaved by Wang Jianqiang, and the Star Palace was slapped in the face.

And in turn, they have to thank Wang Jianqiang?

If not for the fact that Lan Feng had already displayed his strength earlier, and Wang Jianqiang was standing right beside her.

She would have already been unable to stop herself from suspecting that the other party was an impostor pretending to be Wang Jianqiang.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Wang Jianqiang felt a bit embarrassed in his heart after hearing Lan Feng's words.

He smiled warmly, "Xiaofeng is too polite. I don't have any other hobbies; I just like guiding others in their cultivation in my spare time."

Xuanyi looked at Wang Jianqiang.

He curled his lips.

Then he looked at Lan Feng again.

He could not help but complain in his heart.

This kid has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked quite principled before.

Who knew he could be so fierce when it comes to bootlicking!

Just at this moment.

Lan Feng's gaze shifted back to the Great Star Envoy.

He said solemnly.

"Great Star Envoy, Daoist Friend Wang is giving you a chance, so you must seize it well."

"You must not let down Daoist Friend Wang's painstaking efforts, do you understand?"

The Great Star Envoy's expression was somewhat stiff, "But, I..."

Lan Feng shook his head, cutting off the Great Star Envoy's words.

He looked deeply at the Great Star Envoy.

"You are the strongest heaven-gifted talent of this generation in our Star Palace, and also the future leader of our Star Palace."

"I would never harm you."

"Do you understand?"

The Great Star Envoy was startled.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang, appearing lost in thought.

After a moment of silence.

She nodded.

"I understand."

Hearing the Great Star Envoy's words, Lan Feng began to smile.

He turned his head to look at Wang Jianqiang, his face full of sincerity, "Daoist Friend Wang, there is no need to stand on ceremony between family; from now on, the Great Star Envoy is entrusted to you."

"If she does anything wrong, feel free to discipline her."

Wang Jianqiang glanced at the Great Star Envoy.

The latter's expression was rigid, and she hurriedly turned her gaze away.

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

He looked at Lan Feng and nodded with a beaming smile.

Half a day later.

The Star Palace Palace Master hurried to the Xuanyu Kingdom royal palace.

Upon seeing Xuanyi, his expression was one of shock.

Subconsciously, he was about to bow and pay his respects.

He was intercepted by a single look from Xuanyi.

Afterwards, under the witness of Wang Jianqiang and the others.

He apologized to Liuchuan and offered compensation.

The Star Palace Star Lord.

In this Ancient Star Domain, he is already an overlord.

Throughout the entire Ancient Star Domain.

Which major power's Cultivator wouldn't be respectful upon seeing him?

Yet now.

This absolute overlord of the Ancient Star Domain was acting like a grandson.

Nodding and bowing the entire time, without a shred of temper.

It made Liuchuan and the others feel as if they were in a dream.

Especially Xing Li and the Great Star Envoy.

They hadn't had much contact with the Supreme Elder Lan Feng, so perhaps they could say they had misjudged his personality before.

But the Star Lord was someone they saw often.

Was this still that majestic and dignified Star Palace leader who could swallow mountains and rivers?

After the surprise.

The two revealed completely opposite emotions.

Xing Li's heart was filled with excitement and joy.

After this battle.

The Star Palace would no longer view Liuli Kingdom as a thorn in its side and had agreed to help them rebuild Liuli Kingdom.

In the near future.

Liuli Kingdom would surely reappear in the world, and far exceed what it once was.

The Great Star Envoy, however, revealed a complex expression.

With things having developed to this point.

Her wager with Wang Jianqiang was now beyond dispute.

At the thought of the consequences of losing the wager, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her expression.

After the meeting ended.

Lan Feng and the Star Lord both seemed very busy.

They left in a hurry.

Wang Jianqiang and the others settled down peacefully within Xuanyu Kingdom.

The next day.

Wang Jianqiang found the Great Star Envoy.

He discussed the matter of the wager's outcome with him.

Five days later.

Wang Jianqiang returned to his room and thought for a moment.

He then opened the door and walked out.

These past few days, Xing Li had been helping Liuchuan plan the reconstruction of Liuli Kingdom.

She had just returned to her room.

A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Her expression stirred.

She stepped forward to open the door.

A familiar figure came into view.

"Daoist Friend Wang."

Seeing this figure, a warm smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Wang Jianqiang and Xing Li had not seen each other for a long time.

Naturally, the two had much to say to each other, and it was not until five days later that Wang Jianqiang left Xing Li's residence.

Just as he was about to return to his own quarters.

He saw someone walking toward him.

"Little Friend."

The person who arrived also saw Wang Jianqiang, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Senior Liuchuan."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Senior, are you going to...?"

Liuchuan smiled, "After the great battle, Li has been working hard to handle various matters before her injuries have even fully healed."

"I haven't seen her for the past few days, so I was worried her injuries might have recurred and came specifically to check on her."

"I see."

Wang Jianqiang laughed upon hearing this, "Senior, rest assured, her injuries have already healed; she has been with me these past few days and hasn't had time to go out."

"Hm?"

Liuchuan was stunned.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and explained, "Five days ago, I brought her some cultivation treasures unique to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace."

"And personally guided her cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Liuchuan smiled gratefully.

"So that's how it is, thank you, Little Friend."

As he spoke, he sighed with emotion.

"Having a friend like you is Li's good fortune."
