Ch 149: Wang Lin

After the banquet ended, he returned to continue his cultivation. Furthermore, the Immortal Medicine that was incinerated for the Black Dragon had been completely incinerated, and it was time for him to purchase the next batch from Murong Yinxue.

He walked out of the private room, at which time Zhen Yongfu was already waiting for him outside.

Under Zhen Yongfu’s operation, the doors of the two private rooms were shut tight, and the passage of time was paused.

“Hold this token, and you can re-enter at any time to cultivate,” Zhen Yongfu said with a smile.

Lu Qing’an nodded slightly and stepped out: “Let’s go.”

Zhen Yongfu caught up, placing his hand on Lu Qing’an’s shoulder, feeling Lu Qing’an’s Xuji Realm, first-level cultivation aura, and feeling quite emotional, “An Ge, you’ve already reached the Xuji Realm, I’m truly envious, my brother!”

Seeing that Zhen Yongfu had also made a breakthrough, reaching the Xuanguang Realm, seventh level, Lu Qing’an calmly handed Zhen Yongfu the Xuanling Pill he had recently refined, saying, “You’re almost there too. Keep these Xuanling Pills, don’t save them, I have plenty.”

“Hehe, then I won’t be polite, brother!” Zhen Yongfu really cherished these Immortal Grade 5 Supreme Xuanling Pills. With these pills, his breakthrough speed was more than ten times faster than before!

“By the way, An Ge, shouldn’t you leave some for Xu Qingying?”

Lu Qing’an replied calmly, “Don’t worry, she won’t miss out. I’ll give it to her when I see her later.”

During their trip to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, he personally experienced the importance of Zhen Yongfu and Xu Qingying, these two special “accessories”.

Encountering the Demon Race in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave was probably related to Zhen Yongfu, a man with overflowing Fortune, being by his side, while Xu Qingying’s intuition also played a role, especially in perceiving that those following them had no hostility.

He could instantly determine which faction they came from.

Therefore, when he improved, their cultivation could not lag too far behind, otherwise, they wouldn’t be qualified enough to be his “accessories” in the future.

“Hehe, An Ge, you’re so good to Xu Qingying. If she knew, she’d probably be moved to tears. Speaking of which, when will you two settle down? My brother sincerely hopes you’ll get married soon!” Zhen Yongfu patted Lu Qing’an on the shoulder; they had grown up together, and naturally, they both hoped the other would find happiness.

Lu Qing’an didn’t reply to Zhen Yongfu, only glancing at Zhen Yongfu once before directly leaving Liuguang Hall and flying towards the Zui Xian Lou in Wangxu City.

“An Ge, don’t pretend, you can’t reject such a good woman.” Zhen Yongfu quickly chased after him.

Soon after, Lu Qing’an and Zhen Yongfu arrived at the Zui Xian Lou.

By the time they arrived, the place was already packed.

Du Feng, the host of the banquet, was already seated at the head, and to Lu Qing’an’s slight surprise, Bai Lu was actually sitting beside Du Feng.

It seemed he had found the only way to survive.

It wasn’t difficult to guess how Bai Lu had gained Du Feng’s support.

“Junior Martial Brother! You’re finally here!”

As soon as Lu Qing’an arrived, Du Weiwei, with a radiant smile, ran towards him, as if she had been waiting at the entrance for Lu Qing’an’s arrival.

Seeing Du Weiwei approach, Zhen Yongfu couldn’t help but tease, “Senior Sister Weiwei, since you’ve gotten to know my Wu Ge, you’ve really started to ignore me. In the past, you would at least greet me.”

Du Weiwei rolled her eyes at Zhen Yongfu, gently pushing him, and said, “Your Master and your Senior Sister are waiting for you, hurry up and go, don’t bother me.”

“Alright, have a pleasant chat.” Zhen Yongfu smiled, patted Lu Qing’an on the shoulder, and walked towards the main table.

At this moment, he found that his Master, Song Yuanming, and Uncle-Master Bai Lu were actually sitting at the main table, near Du Feng!

This surprised him somewhat.

Had he finally received Du Feng’s protection?

Lu Qing’an smiled at Du Weiwei: “Senior Sister, I kept you waiting.”

“It’s alright, the banquet hasn’t started yet. Come with me, I’ll tell you about the arrangements beforehand.” Du Weiwei smiled, directly taking Lu Qing’an’s arm and walking gracefully to a spacious area.

Lu Qing’an didn’t expect Du Weiwei to take his arm, but he couldn’t directly push her away, so he could only listen quietly to Du Weiwei, occasionally glancing towards the main table.

It was already very lively over there.

After Zhen Yongfu joined Song Yuanming and Murong Yinxue, he also took a seat at the main table. The strong individuals of the Xianjian Sect were all present, with several Huan Yu Realm cultivators among them, conversing merrily with Du Feng.

“Junior Brother, you don’t need to perform the apprenticeship ceremony again later. When my father introduces you, just stand up and greet the guests. Don’t say anything else. Something will happen at tonight’s banquet that’s not something we juniors can interfere with…”

Du Weiwei seriously instructed Lu Qing’an, and her hand was still holding Lu Qing’an’s arm, showing no intention of letting go.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing’an nodded slightly, roughly understanding what was about to happen.

It should be related to Bai Lu.

The Wang Family hadn’t arrived yet; the show wouldn’t begin until they did.

He had just thought this when, the next moment, he found the entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent, and the gaze of everyone present suddenly shifted to the entrance.

He and Du Weiwei also looked over.

At this time, they saw several figures slowly appearing. Among them, two elders, a middle-aged man, and a young man walked slowly towards them.

Lu Qing’an recognized two of them: Wang Xiaohong and Xu Qingshan.

As the Guild Master of the Large City Alchemist Guild, Xu Qingshan seemed somewhat lacking in presence, standing beside a cold-faced White-Haired Elder.

The gaze of the vast majority of those present fell on the White-Haired Elder and the middle-aged man beside him.

These two were the people most widely discussed in Wangxu City in recent years!

Wang Lin, a Ninth-Rank Immortal Alchemist, and his son, Wang Quangu!

Lu Qing’an’s gaze also fell on this father and son.

Their facial features were somewhat similar to Wang Xiaohong’s, especially their sharp, eagle-like eyes, giving people the impression that they disliked everyone.

“A Ninth-Rank Immortal Alchemist, still at the Huan Yu Realm, third level. As for Wang Quangu, he’s already at the Saint Spirit Realm, fifth level,” Lu Qing’an secretly calculated in his heart, then looked at Bai Lu on the other side.

When Bai Lu saw the father and son, he lowered his head slightly, his face looking rather unsightly, not daring to look directly at the pair.

Wang Quangu was Bai Lu’s enemy, and now Bai Lu was only at the Saint Spirit Realm, first level, while Wang Quangu was already at the Saint Spirit Realm, fifth level. Their status and strength were worlds apart.

Without Du Feng’s help, Bai Lu would undoubtedly die.

“Haha, Old Master Wang, long time no see!” Du Feng, as the host of the banquet, stood up with a smile and went to greet Wang Lin.

Wang Lin didn’t look directly at Du Feng, coldly glancing at Bai Lu, who was bowing his head behind Du Feng, before turning back to Du Feng: “Little Du, I always thought you were a smart man, but I didn’t expect you to choose to stand against our Wang Family.”

Du Feng didn’t expect Wang Lin to start a fight so directly. Seeing that his Senior Sister hadn’t arrived yet, he still smiled: “Old Master Wang, you’re wronging me. We’ve always had a good relationship, don’t say these hurtful words.”

Many guests had come early, wanting to see this scene, especially some Huan Yu Realm cultivators from the Xianjian Sect, who instantly focused their attention.

They looked like they were enjoying the gossip.

“I won’t take back what I’ve said publicly. I’ve already given you enough face by coming here today. You better think carefully and don’t make a mistake.” Wang Lin stared at Du Feng, his voice low and expressionless.

Du Feng still smiled: “Old Master Wang, why don’t you sit down first? I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. Today is a great day, I hope you’ll give me some face, how about that?”

Wang Lin stared at Du Feng for a while, then chose not to turn against him on the spot, also wanting to see what Du Feng intended to do, so he tacitly agreed to Du Feng’s suggestion.

Du Feng then smiled and took Wang Lin’s hand, walking towards the main table.

At this time, Du Feng looked at Lu Qing’an and Du Weiwei, gesturing for them to come forward.

Lu Qing’an nodded and walked towards Du Feng.
