Chapter 972: A Good Big Brother

Five days later.

Zhou Qingyu left with a face full of shyness, and seeing that there was no one in the main hall, she ran back to her room as if fleeing.

After Zhou Qingyu ran away.

Wang Jianqiang walked out of the room, his face full of emotion, "Third Miss is still so shy."

Just at this moment, his expression shifted, and he took out a Sound Transmission Talisman to listen for a moment.

With a flip of his palm, he put away the Sound Transmission Talisman.

With a thought, he opened a Space Channel and walked inside.

……

After leaving the Residence Space.

Wang Jianqiang walked all the way toward the depths of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

Not long after.

He arrived outside an exquisite Pavilion.

Just as he arrived before the Pavilion door, the owner inside seemed to have sensed his arrival.

The Pavilion door opened directly.

Wang Jianqiang's footsteps did not pause in the slightest as he walked inside.

A blur passed before his eyes, and he immediately arrived in a vast space.

He continued walking toward the depths of the space.

Not long after.

He entered a Pavilion that looked exactly the same as the one in the outside world.

Walking into a main hall, a young and beautiful woman appeared in his field of vision.

The woman had a tall figure, with a slender waist and a graceful bearing.

Seeing this figure, a thick smile immediately bloomed on Wang Jianqiang's face, "Vice Palace Master, you are truly becoming more and more beautiful."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's laughter, Nian Qinghe pursed her lips, "Since you can still be this glib, it seems you haven't suffered too much in these years."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "That's for sure, I am a Disciple of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, the man you, Vice Palace Master, have taken a fancy to; how could I lose face for you?"

Nian Qinghe glared at Wang Jianqiang, "Do you think I can't hear that you're taking advantage of me? Want me to beat you up, is that it?"

"Vice Palace Master, what are you saying? Why don't I understand?" Wang Jianqiang's face was full of surprise.

Nian Qinghe gave a hum, "Who took a fancy to you?"

Wang Jianqiang suddenly realized, "So that's what the Vice Palace Master was referring to."

As he spoke, a strange look appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face, "My words just meant that you value me, what is the Vice Palace Master thinking about?"

"How could you even twist that?"

"Could it be that you have some improper intentions toward me?"

Speaking to the end, Wang Jianqiang revealed a look of terror, "I am still just a baby of over two hundred years old, how could you bring yourself to do it? You beast~"

Nian Qinghe: ~

She sighed with some mental exhaustion.

This bastard is truly becoming more glib, and his skin is getting thicker and thicker.

She knew that if she continued to dwell on this topic, she would definitely be the one to suffer, so she decided to change the subject, "Where did you go during the years you disappeared? What did you experience?"

"Me~ I went Outside the Realm and became the Vice Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Nian Qinghe rolled her eyes, "Forget it if you don't want to say."

Wang Jianqiang's expression stalled.

No...

What he said was the truth.

Just as he was about to explain, he suddenly saw Nian Qinghe flick her palm.

Five Space Rings appeared before him.

His expression shifted, "This is...?"

"The reward for your help in getting Wenxian City through the crisis this time, as well as compensation for your losses," Nian Qinghe said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang resolutely shook his head, "As a member of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, a member of this world, and a person you, Vice Palace Master, have taken a fancy to, what is it for me, Wang, to make some contributions for this world, for the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, and for you, Vice Palace Master?"

"Isn't this only right and proper?"

"Does it still require a reward?"

"This is an insult to my loyalty to this world, to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, and to you, Vice Palace Master."

Wang Jianqiang's tone was impassioned, revealing sincerity within.

Nian Qinghe glanced at him, "You don't want it? Very well, then I shall take them back."

As she spoke, she reached out her palm, intending to take back all five Space Rings.

"Wait!"

In that very instant, Wang Jianqiang suddenly flashed forward, blocking before her palm.

His broad, thick hand directly grasped her palm.

He said with a face full of sincerity, "Although the principle is indeed that principle, if the Vice Palace Master is bestowing a reward from the heart, it would be too discourteous of me to refuse."

"For the sake of the Vice Palace Master, even if it goes against my own heart, I, Wang, will not shirk from it."

While speaking, his other hand gave a light flick.

Those five Space Rings instantly vanished from sight.

Seeing this scene.

Nian Qinghe's eyelid twitched; she withdrew her palm from Wang Jianqiang's hand without changing her expression, took a deep breath, and said, "That's enough, there's nothing left for you to do, get lost."

"Don't be in such a rush, Vice Palace Master."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, but he did not retreat; instead, he shamelessly leaned in closer.

Nian Qinghe stepped back with a look of utter disgust, putting some distance between them, and asked, "What else is there?"

Wang Jianqiang's expression turned serious, and he sighed, "It's nothing major, it's just that I haven't seen my old brother Xuanyi for quite some time, and I miss him dearly."

"Since you, Vice Palace Master, have a way to contact old brother Xuanyi, I wanted to ask you about his whereabouts."

Hearing this, a strange look appeared on Nian Qinghe's face.

"She is..."

She was about to speak, but her gaze suddenly flickered and she stopped, saying calmly, "Why are you looking for him?"

Wang Jianqiang said, "Didn't I already say? It's been a long time, and I want to see my good big brother."

A flash of contempt crossed Nian Qinghe's eyes, "He left the Immortal Palace to go on a mission; he is not inside the Immortal Palace."

Hearing Nian Qinghe's words, Wang Jianqiang frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, "Vice Palace Master, my old brother Xuanyi is just an ordinary Instructor who guards the Transmission Array, so why does he always have to go outside to perform missions? Isn't the Immortal Palace being a bit too harsh on my good big brother?"

Nian Qinghe did not expect Wang Jianqiang to suddenly become so indignant; she was stunned, and felt even more strange in her heart.

My good big brother?

This form of address is truly affectionate.

If someone who didn't know better heard this, they would certainly think that this Wang Jianqiang and the good big brother he speaks of were very close.

But she knew exactly what kind of people these two were.

This sentence.

Not even a single punctuation mark can be trusted.

She shook her head, "The personnel deployment of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace is not something for a student like you to interfere with."

Wang Jianqiang let out a long sigh, "Fine, after all, I am currently of low status and little influence; one day, I will become strong enough so that my good big brother will no longer have to work so hard."

By the end of his sentence, a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Vice Palace Master, I will head back now."

He looked at Nian Qinghe and turned to leave.

A moment later.

Wang Jianqiang left Nian Qinghe's Residence Space, a look of regret flashing in his eyes.

He was planning to make a trip to the Gu Family recently.

He had wanted to drag Xuanyi along as free labor to back him up, so that in case any accidents occurred, he wouldn't have to make his beloved Xiaobaibai do the work.

He hadn't expected that old turtle-bastard to be as stubborn as a mule and refuse to show himself.

"Xiaobaibai, are you sure Xuanyi was just hiding nearby?"

He sent a message into the Spirit God Ring without changing his expression.

"I am sure."

Xiaobai's voice immediately entered his mind.
