Chapter 88: Personal Bodyguard

~8 min read 1,412 words

Si Tianyong admitted that he was already cunning enough, but he hadn't expected that Wang Jianqiang actually had eight hundred schemes up his sleeve.

Even more cunning than him!

Now, not only did Wang Jianqiang have evidence in hand, but he had even recorded the scenes of him intentionally destroying evidence twice.

If this matter were to continue to escalate, not only would Wang Jianqiang be fine, but in order to establish an image of dignity and justice in the hearts of the Disciples, the sect might truly do as Mu Yutong said and reward Wang Jianqiang!

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of stifled frustration in his heart.

He, a dignified Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, had actually been outsmarted by an ant who had just reached Foundation Establishment!!!

If they were in the outside world, he could have wiped the other party out with a single breath.

However, within the sect, everything had to be done according to the rules.

He could appropriately exploit loopholes in the rules or violate them in secret, but he could not break them in public.

He took a long breath in and out, repeating this several times before suppressing the anger in his heart.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang with a gloomy gaze, "Kid, you had better pray that you don't fall into my hands in the future."

"Otherwise..."

A cold light flashed in his eyes.

Then he looked at Shangguan Yurou and Mu Yutong, snorted coldly, and vanished instantly.

Seeing Si Tianyong retreat, Shangguan Yurou and Mu Yutong both relaxed their expressions simultaneously.

"Greetings to the two seniors."

Just then, Wang Jianqiang walked up and bowed to the two, "Many thanks to the two seniors for upholding justice for this junior."

Mu Yutong smiled lightly, "If you want to thank someone, thank Lingxi. If Lingxi hadn't begged me earlier, I wouldn't have offended Si Tianyong for your sake."

Before Wang Jianqiang could speak, Mu Lingxi at the side couldn't help but curl her lips, "Little Aunt, your relationship with Si Tianyong is already very poor, are you still afraid of offending him?"

This dead girl was actually undermining her in front of an outsider!

Mu Yutong couldn't help but curse in her heart.

On the surface, she acted as if she hadn't heard Mu Lingxi's words, not even glancing at Mu Lingxi, and continued to Wang Jianqiang, "Since the matter is over, I will not stay here any longer."

After speaking, she gave Mu Lingxi an imperceptible glare and disappeared from sight.

"Master, why did you come suddenly?"

Yan Qingxuan landed beside Shangguan Yurou.

"It was your senior sister who sent me a message," Shangguan Yurou said, looking deeply at Wang Jianqiang.

A telepathic message entered his mind.

"Wang Jianqiang, I already know about the matter between you and Dong Yue."

Wang Jianqiang's heart skipped a beat.

In his mind, Shangguan Yurou's voice continued to come through.

"Your talent in the way of alchemy is indeed powerful; thank you for helping Dong Yue refine the Small Creation Pill."

So it was about this!

Wang Jianqiang was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's expression, Shangguan Yurou smiled, thinking she had guessed Wang Jianqiang's thoughts, and her voice continued to enter his mind.

"Don't worry, I am Dong Yue's Elder, and I am on the same side as Dong Yue and Yan Qingxuan. I will not tell anyone that you can refine a Second-tier Perfect Pill."

Wang Jianqiang coughed dryly and nodded calmly.

After a round of telepathic communication with Wang Jianqiang, Shangguan Yurou did not linger and also left.

Before she left, a telepathic message appeared in Yan Qingxuan's mind.

"Qingxuan, this child is of extraordinary significance to our lineage. From today on, you will protect him in secret."

"You must guard him day and night; do not let the slightest accident happen to him."

Yan Qingxuan was startled.

Thinking of Wang Jianqiang's talent in the way of alchemy, she immediately reacted.

"I'm leaving too."

After Shangguan Yurou left, Mu Lingxi greeted Wang Jianqiang and left in a hurry.

She had been preparing to go into seclusion after obtaining the Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill, but she had rushed over immediately upon receiving Wang Jianqiang's distress signal.

Now that Wang Jianqiang's danger was resolved, she felt relieved and her mind returned to the seclusion and breakthrough she had been longing for.

As for Wang Yuyao, because she was seriously injured and needed to go back to heal, she also left after saying goodbye.

In the end, only Yan Qingxuan remained by Wang Jianqiang's side.

Seeing that she showed no signs of leaving, Wang Jianqiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Yan Qingxuan, "I've troubled Elder Yan with today's matter as well."

Yan Qingxuan looked at him with a half-smile.

"Is that all you have to say since I didn't help? You old rascal are truly realistic."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "Elder, you're wronging me. It's just that there were two seniors here earlier, and besides, who said I was just brushing you off?"

"Your appearance was the grand finale; my gratitude to you is the most sincere."

"That's more like it."

Yan Qingxuan looked around, "Let's go, I have a few things to give you."

As she spoke, she waved her palm.

When Wang Jianqiang came to his senses, he found that he had already been brought into mid-air and was flying rapidly forward.

A moment later, the two landed in front of a quiet little courtyard.

Yan Qingxuan pointed at the courtyard.

"You have now reached Foundation Establishment; let this be your residence in the Inner Sect from now on."

Hearing Yan Qingxuan's words, Wang Jianqiang finally remembered.

It seemed his transfer order hadn't come down yet!

Under normal circumstances, once an Outer Sect Disciple achieves Foundation Establishment, the sect's transfer order is bound to be issued within three to two days, or seven to eight days at the longest.

He had achieved Foundation Establishment for so long, so why hadn't the sect's transfer order come down yet?

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's expression, Yan Qingxuan smiled.

"No need to doubt, your transfer order was issued long ago."

"However, transfer orders for Outer Sect Disciples promoting to Inner Sect Disciples are uniformly distributed by the Outer Affairs Hall; your transfer order should still be in Senior Sister's hands."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang suddenly understood in his heart.

Some time ago, he and Dong Yue had been busy improving their alchemy cultivation through a "special Secret Technique."

Dong Yue must have thought it would be inconvenient after he entered the Inner Sect, which is why she temporarily withheld his transfer order.

That was quite thoughtful of her.

At this moment, Yan Qingxuan's voice came again.

"After becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, your residence in the Outer Sect will be reclaimed by the sect; if you have left anything behind, you may return to the Outer Sect to retrieve it within three days."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

"And these."

Yan Qingxuan brushed her palm in front of her, and three Jade Slips appeared, slowly flying in front of Wang Jianqiang.

"These three Jade Slips are the Dragon Roar Ancient Bell Artifact Diagram, the Soul Forging Technique, and an Incomplete Ancient Pill Recipe, all of which I won outside the Cold Pool Secret Realm back then."

"Winning the wager was thanks to you."

"I have no use for these things, so I will give them to you."

As she spoke, Yan Qingxuan paused and took out two more Jade Slips, "And these two techniques."

"They are the Explosive Force Art of the Zhengyang Sect and the Sword Cultivation Technique of the Wan Jian Sect, though they are only rubbings."

"Although they lack the Artistic Conception of the originals and cannot be cultivated to a profound level, they are sufficient for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like you."

Looking at the five Jade Slips in front of him, Wang Jianqiang felt joy in his heart and waved his hand to collect them all.

Only then did he look at Yan Qingxuan and chuckle, "How could I be so embarrassed to accept these?"

Yan Qingxuan rolled her eyes at him and casually tossed over a Jade Pendant.

"This is the secret command to open the courtyard gate."

After speaking, her figure flickered and she disappeared.

Wang Jianqiang only thought that Yan Qingxuan had left, not knowing that he had gained a personal bodyguard who would watch him at all times.
