Chapter 1456 - 1459: The Reward I Gave Him
Hearing Zong Zijin use such explicit words to throw shade, the stunning Young Master of Medicine King Valley, Qin Yurou, seemed a bit unhappy. The situation was simple: the restaurant had plenty of empty seats, Zong Zijin didn't sit, and Shen Qiang had clearly expressed that he wasn't welcome, preferring to be seen as rude rather than have Zong Zijin sit next to him.Anyone with a bit of sense would have taken the hint and left once they saw a drink spilled on a seat.
Yet Zong Zijin not only wiped the seat but also sat beside Shen Qiang, chatting away.
This wasn't just provocation; it was downright nauseating.
Even though Qin Yurou saw through all of this, she couldn't speak up. After all, Zong Zijin was also the senior brother of Medicine King Valley, and publicly embarrassing him with internal strife was something she couldn't do.
"Zong Zijin, you're certainly interesting, your face as thick as this, truly a model of virtue and skill." Shen Qiang smiled, "Moreover, knowing who I am, repeatedly provoking me only means your sect is powerful."
Zong Zijin's eyes flashed with pride upon hearing this. After all, in the Cultivation World, aside from the five super first-class sects and the five super first-class families, only two sects had such exalted status. One was the Baihua Palace with its disciples all over the world, and the other was the Medicine King Valley, unrivaled in elixir pills.
If not for that, even possessing Mixed Element Realm strength, Zong Zijin wouldn't have dared to provoke Shen Qiang.
After all, Shen Qiang's rank was there for all to see, a leader of a first-class sect. Besides the twelve towering figures in the Cultivation World, only those with truly extraordinary abilities dared flaunt their qualifications in front of Shen Qiang.
Without a strong sect and power to back him up, the result of provoking Shen Qiang would be certain destruction.
So despite his eyes full of, "You guessed right, my sect is formidable," he merely smiled and said nothing about it, as he had already heard Qin Yurou's words. Besides, what made him prouder was being the first disciple of Medicine King Valley.
Wouldn't it be impressive if he could win against Shen Qiang without revealing his identity?
Even if he couldn't win, at the last moment, when he revealed his status as the first disciple of Medicine King Valley, what could Shen Qiang do then?
So hearing Shen Qiang's words, he smiled proudly and said, "I thought you were someone daring and fearless, Shen. Unexpectedly, you're merely a snob. If I weren't from a reputable family, would I not have the right to sit beside you?"
Upon hearing this, the stunning Young Master of Medicine King Valley, Liu Mei, frowned in displeasure.
The spirited young girl's eyes lit up and she said, "Yeah, Senior Brother is absolutely right!"
Shen Qiang heard this, smiled, and took a tissue from the pack beside Qin Yurou, wiping his hands as he chuckled, "I'm someone with a bit of a bad temper. If I like someone, even if they're penniless, they can sit beside me as brothers. If I dislike them, even if they're the Jade Emperor, they have to roll away."
Turning to Zong Zijin with a smile, Shen Qiang said, "You're too thick-skinned, self-righteous, filled with hypocrisy, gloating all the while. You're a classic hypocrite, a true petty person. From half a mile away, I can smell your deep-seated disdain for others."
"So, for the last time, I remind you, please leave on your own. Don't make things difficult for yourself. I don't know you, you forcefully sitting beside me is harassment, understand?"
Zong Zijin grinned, raised an eyebrow arrogantly, and said, "That's strange. What does me eating with my two junior sisters have to do with you?"
The spirited young girl was about to agree when she caught Qin Yurou's cold gaze and fell silent.
Shen Qiang smiled at Zong Zijin's expression of smug defiance and spoke calmly, "Street thugs like to shout and brandish knives to cover up their incompetence."
"Dirty-minded ruffians like to cloak themselves in moral perfection to feign integrity, yet someone as thick-skinned as to call a deer a horse clearly has no bottom line."
Zong Zijin chuckled and said, "Indeed, studying and eating with my junior sisters is only natural."
Shen Qiang smiled, "You will leave on your own."
"Dream on," Zong Zijin smugly raised an eyebrow and said, "No one can intimidate me!"
Shen Qiang smiled.
The spirited young girl nearby smugly said, "Ha, some people really are arrogant, thinking they can rule heaven and earth."
Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Qin Yurou's face turned cold and she said, "Abi, if you keep talking nonsense, you won't be attending anymore."
Instantly, the spirited young girl was stunned.
Looking at Qin Yurou's cold expression, Zong Zijin smiled gently and said, "Junior Sister is right, Abi, don't speak carelessly. Just follow and support Junior Sister. Do more, talk less, and even if some blind little thug tries to cause trouble, Senior Brother won't ignore it. Don't worry, I'll always be by your sides to protect you."
"Zong Zijin, you're truly shameless." Shen Qiang laughed.
Then, feeling calm, he let go of the restraint on the Thermophilic Streptococcus.
In an instant, Zong Zijin, about to retort to Shen Qiang, suddenly felt his abdomen twist painfully, followed by a tightening at the base of his spine. Although he tried to hold it back, the completely uncontrollable feeling made cold sweat drip from his forehead. Unable to stay seated, he told the stunning Young Master of Medicine King Valley, Qin Yurou, "Sorry, Junior Sister, I need to step out for a moment, I'll be back soon."
Saying this, he turned and left, but after a few steps, he suddenly turned back to grab a tissue from Shen Qiang's platter, smugly saying, "Thanks!"
Shen Qiang smiled.
Watching Shen Qiang's smile, the spirited young girl unhappily said, "Shen Qiang, why do you keep smiling like an idiot?"
Shen Qiang said with a smile, "The reason I smile is simple. Since I can't remain impassive when the sky comes crashing, the more dangerous or angry I feel, the more I must smile, because panic or anger would only make me seem incompetent."
The spirited young girl pursed her lips, "Hypocritical."
Shen Qiang smiled, and the previously silent Qin Yurou awkwardly and apologetically said, "Shen Qiang, sorry, Abi is young and ignorant. Zong Zijin seems to have some misunderstanding with you, so I'll talk to him, he…"
"No need." Shen Qiang interrupted with a smile, "As men, we understand reciprocity in everything we do. For someone as virtuous and talented as he portrays himself, they naturally deserve a reward."
The stunning Young Master of Medicine King Valley was taken aback.
Almost simultaneously.
From the other side of the restaurant came a heart-wrenching scream, the intense sound wave shattering the glass windows in an instant and causing all the utensils in the restaurant to tremble.
"It's Senior Brother!" The spirited young girl was shocked.
Meanwhile, Shen Qiang laughed.
"Hmm, he seems quite satisfied with the reward."
