Chapter 965: Meeting an Old Acquaintance

Five days later.

Zhou Qingyu sat cross-legged and stared blankly at Wang Jianqiang, "What was that power from before? It was actually able to purify my foundation!"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "A unique power of mine. How about it? As your servant, I can not only help you grow Medicinal Herb, but also warm your bed and help you cultivate."

"Impressive, right?"

Zhou Qingyu's pretty face flushed, "Who asked you to help... with that?"

Wang Jianqiang revealed a look of surprise, "You don't want to purify your foundation anymore?"

"I do."

Zhou Qingyu said subconsciously, without even thinking.

Immediately following that, she realized what she had said, lowered her head in shyness, and dared not look at Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Third Miss, I have a secret I want to tell you."

Zhou Qingyu was startled, "You aren't going to tell me that the name Wang Daniu is fake, are you?"

Wang Jianqiang was startled, "How did you know?"

Zhou Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled, "Under normal circumstances, even if a genius's name isn't one of those high-and-mighty ones, it is at least relatively elegant."

"The name Wang Daniu is too vulgar."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "That is true, I suppose."

"What is your real name?"

Zhou Qingyu looked at Wang Jianqiang with some impatience.

A sense of anticipation stirred in her heart.

In her view, since Wang Jianqiang was so powerful, he must surely have an equally extraordinary name.

At the very least, it would certainly sound better than the name Wang Daniu.

Wang Jianqiang smiled confidently, "My real name is Wang Jianqiang."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingyu fell silent.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Wang Jianqiang: born a king, building strength.

Whether it was how it sounded on the surface or its underlying meaning, this name was overflowing with dominance.

It was no wonder that Zhou Qingyu was so shocked upon hearing this name that she couldn't react for a moment.

"Alright, although the name is good, it is just a code name after all; no need to be so surprised."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Zhou Qingyu came back to her senses.

She gave him a strange look.

Her red lips parted, but in the end, she said nothing.

She nodded silently.

"Third Miss, I have another secret I want to tell you."

Just then, Wang Jianqiang spoke up again.

Zhou Qingyu was startled, "You have more secrets?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "I am actually not an Out-of-Boundary Cultivator, but someone from the Immortal Abandoned Land."

"It was only due to an accident that I inadvertently ended up in Biyu City."

Hearing this explosive news, Zhou Qingyu was stunned.

She immediately reacted, nodded with a solemn expression, "So that's how it is."

At this moment, she finally understood why Wang Jianqiang had to use the alias Wang Daniu.

The Immortal Abandoned Land and those Outside the Realm are natural enemies.

If Wang Jianqiang had not assumed the identity of Wang Daniu, his true identity would have been exposed, and he would have certainly died.

Thinking of this, a flash of reproach crossed her face, "This matter is of great importance; every additional person who knows adds a layer of risk. You shouldn't have told me."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "It's fine, I am already preparing to return to the Immortal Abandoned Land in the near future."

Zhou Qingyu was startled, then immediately reacted, "You are confessing your identity to me now because you want to..."

"That's right, I want to take you back to the Immortal Abandoned Land with me. Are you willing?" Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Zhou Qingyu felt a warmth in her heart and agreed with a nod, without much hesitation.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Afterward, he did not linger any longer.

"You should prepare yourself first; I will send word to call for you when I leave the Beast Taming Sect."

After greeting Zhou Qingyu, he reverted to the appearance of Wan Guiyuan and left Zhou Qingyu's residence.

"Wan Guiyuan?"

After Wang Jianqiang left Zhou Qingyu's residence and had just walked a short distance, a voice containing a hint of surprise and joy suddenly reached his ears.

Hearing this voice, Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

This voice seemed somewhat familiar.

He turned his head in confusion.

A woman in a yellow dress with a charming appearance and an incredible figure appeared in his field of vision.

The moment he saw this woman in the yellow dress, Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up.

Huang Xue?

At the same time.

Upon seeing Wan Guiyuan, Huang Xue's expression became even more agitated.

Back then, Wan Guiyuan went to her residence and spent several days conversing with her.

Before leaving, he had said he would return to find her and bring her resources to help her promote to an Inner Sect Disciple.

But so many years have passed.

Relying on her own efforts, she had already broken through to the Golden Core Stage and become an Inner Sect Disciple.

Yet Wan Guiyuan never came to find her again.

She once suspected that she had been deceived by Wan Guiyuan.

She went to the core area several times to look for Wan Guiyuan, but she was never able to see him.

Although she was angry in her heart.

As time went on, it faded.

However, just two years ago, Wan Guiyuan became the Vice Sect Master.

Her thoughts became active once again.

Looking back on the past.

Wan Guiyuan reached the top of the Spirit Ranking, entered the Outer Realm Battlefield...

Which of the things he did was not a major event that shocked the entire Youzhou?

Perhaps Wan Guiyuan not coming to find her back then was not because he broke his promise, but because he had to prepare for these major events and could not be distracted.

It was not heartlessness!

Out of this thought, she finally made up her mind to go to the core area.

She wanted to try to see if she could meet Wan Guiyuan.

She did not expect that she would run into Wan Guiyuan just after leaving her residence.

What is he doing in the Inner Sect area?

Could it be...

That he is here to find her?

It must be!

Wan Guiyuan has now achieved success and fame.

He has no major tasks to do, so he must have thought of the promise between them and come to fulfill it.

At the thought of this possibility.

Her heart became increasingly excited.

Wan Guiyuan is the Vice Sect Master after all.

If she were to be with him, wouldn't she be the Vice Sect Master's wife?

As the Vice Sect Master's wife, she would help the Vice Sect Master manage such a large sect and be respected by many Beast Taming Sect Disciples.

Abundant resources would be available at her beck and call.

This kind of life should be very hard and boring, right?

Would she be able to adapt to it?

Just as Huang Xue's expression kept changing and she felt anxious about gains and losses in her heart.

A gentle voice suddenly reached her ears, "Junior Sister Huang."

Junior Sister?

Hearing Wan Guiyuan's address for her, Huang Xue felt even more excited.

He is calling her Junior Sister!

Sure enough, he had not forgotten the affection from back then.

Huang Xue came back to her senses and looked at Wang Jianqiang with a face full of smiles, "Greetings, Senior Brother Wan."

"Xue'er and Senior Brother Wan are truly fated; I was just walking around casually, and I didn't expect to happen upon Senior Brother Wan."

"Come to think of it, Xue'er and Senior Brother Wan haven't seen each other for many years."

"Is Senior Brother Wan here in the Inner Sect area to find Xue'er?"

As she spoke, deep anticipation appeared on her face.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, "Back then, I made a promise to Junior Sister Huang, but because I was tied up with trivial matters, I was late in fulfilling it, and I have always felt guilty."

"Now that I finally have time, I went to the Outer Sect, wanting to look for Junior Sister Huang."

"I didn't expect that Junior Sister Huang had already broken through to the Golden Core Stage and promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple."

"So I came to this Inner Sect to look for you."

"I didn't expect to run into Junior Sister Huang just after arriving in this Inner Sect area; it saves me from having to ask around everywhere."
