Chapter 2015 - 2018: Jianghu Matters, Solved the Jianghu Way
At the moment they heard the words, the gaze of everyone present instantly focused on Shen Qiang, who was at the rear door of the building. At this time, Shen Qiang wore a calm smile on his face, his tone without a trace of anger. Not only that, under the newly risen sunlight, that smile was surprisingly radiant.Looking at Shen Qiang's handsome face, which remained unperturbed and carried a serene smile, the idol-level genius beauty Kang Luoying couldn't help but blush and inwardly praised how handsome Shen Qiang was. However, she quickly became a bit anxious and transmitted sound:
"Shen Qiang, I understand your intention, but don't act rashly. My Second Master Uncle entered the Dao Fruit Stage seven years ago. He is imbued with a strong Jianghu presence, and his sword technique is exceedingly fierce. Don't agree to his challenge; he won't hold back against you because his own younger brother died in the previous Heshenghe's raid, so he is going to kill you!"
"Leave this matter to me, alright? I will persuade him well." Kang Luoying said anxiously.
"Don't be impatient."
Seeing her anxious expression clearly, Shen Qiang transmitted sound to comfort her, then turned his gaze to the tall and muscular Kang Youcheng, who wielded a broadsword.
"A true man."
Upon seeing him, Shen Qiang's eyes lit up.
This Kang Youcheng, looking at his face, seemed to be around forty years old. Considering he was a cultivator, his actual age might be older.
Though he held the sword horizontally in front, causing trouble, deep in Shen Qiang's heart, he didn't dislike this fellow.
Because this fellow, though crude, unreasonable, and even downright irrational.
But his personality somehow made Shen Qiang like him.
After all, compared to those who smile on the surface while harboring malice beneath, this person is easier to deal with. You don't have to guard against him all the time or worry about him scheming behind your back. Such a person, when displeased, will directly confront you. After the fight, once the anger subsides, it's over.
While those who are deeply scheming, you might not even understand which word you said wrong, and they might hold a grudge, harming you openly or secretly.
At the same time, seeing that Shen Qiang not only did not get angry but instead looked at Kang Youcheng with appreciation, those representatives from various sects exchanged glances.
"Kang Youcheng! How audacious of you!" said an instigator who quickly changed expression as a child peeing in front of everyone, not only acting with high drama and fury but also harshly criticized: "Shen Qiang, Shen Medicine King, holds such a noble status! How can a commoner like you challenge him? Step down immediately!"
Another person immediately echoed with arrogance, "Indeed, Kang Youcheng, you should understand that Shen Medicine King has a reputation for hanging the pot and reviving lives, with achievements only heaven and earth can express, enough to shine alongside the sun and moon. How can insignificant beings like you compare?"
Hearing their words, Shen Qiang glanced at both coldly.
Because though Shen Qiang was not foolish, he was not so naive as to not hear that these two idiots were trying to create enmity.
After all, the underlying meaning of their words was that Shen Qiang's high status meant killing people from the Qingyun Sword Pavilion was insignificant.
"Yes, yes, Kang Youcheng, you're a grown man, yet how can you be so immature? Hurry and leave; this is a high-level meeting, not somewhere for you to act out." Naturally, when someone is stirring up trouble, there are always those who can't resist joining in and go along with it.
"Shut up!" Kang Youcheng, whose True Yuan erupted like substance, indeed was furious and shouted: "The children of the Kang Family were also born from their parents! Hence, their blood can't be spilled in vain!"
The broadsword suddenly pointed at Shen Qiang, and although no Sword Qi was emitted, the direction of the blade still froze Shen Qiang's body.
"Do you see, this is the true face of the great families and sects." Bianyi, smiling with narrowed eyes, whispered to Shen Qiang: "Restraining others while developing yourself has always been the unchanged goal of various sects in the Cultivation World, so don't be fooled by illusions. When everyone praises you, some people are waiting for you to fall."
Shen Qiang slightly smiled and transmitted sound in reply: "Very normal; if it were us, money in our own pockets is the most reassuring. Whether to give it to others, how to give it, and how much to give is up to us. So rather than agonizing over how others treat us, it's better to think about how to continue growing stronger."
Bianyi smiled and seriously nodded.
Meanwhile.
The face of the Second Elder from Qingyun Sword Pavilion was about to explode with anger as he watched these other sect representatives, supposedly there as witnesses to observe the ceremony, purposefully stirring trouble in front of him, while Kang Youcheng foolishly fell into their trap. Furious, he shouted: "Kang Youcheng! Are you done with your nonsense? Get out of here!"
This situation made some cultivators present, with cold smiles, show mocking expressions, exchanging winks, after which one sneered.
"Indeed, I really don't know what kind of prank you from Qingyun Sword Pavilion are pulling. Don't they even know basic manners? Bringing out such a fool to provoke Shen Medicine King, is this sincere? With such rudeness, are you sure about your genuine submission?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
All eyes were fixed on Shen Qiang, only to find that Shen Qiang was all smiles.
"Pretending, Shen Qiang must be angry, though very angry, letting Qingyun Sword Pavilion leave, and then Heshenghe remains as Heshenghe, with the three hundred demons unable to make a ripple."
"Quickly get angry, upset, furious, do something, and then hahaha, I'm raising little demons, and I'm being super first-class."
Yet, amidst their eager anticipation for Shen Qiang's outburst.
Smiling, Shen Qiang didn't even look at them but instead gazed at Kang Youcheng, saying, "A man must have the courage of a man; you want to settle the score for killing your Qingyun Sword Pavilion people, which shows me that people in Qingyun Sword Pavilion still have passion at their core, so I respect you."
Fidgeting his fingers with a smile on his face, Shen Qiang continued, "But at the same time, I'm not someone who can tolerate my subordinates being slaughtered and then welcome someone with a smile, so your suggestion matches my intentions greatly."
"I'll take this sword of yours, but afterward, if no one from Qingyun Sword Pavilion stands up to take a punch from me, don't expect the people from Qingyun Sword Pavilion to have the audacity to stroll into my Heshenghe without a care."
Instantly, everyone present was stunned.
At the same time, the dozen or so Great Demons who appeared behind Shen Qiang instantly had their eyes glaze over coldly.
"Your Majesty, let me do it, I can't hold back any longer!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for remembering the brothers who died!"
At this moment, Shen Qiang waved his hand and said, "This matter doesn't require you all; I am the boss of Heshenghe, so I'll handle this."
The demons were silent, not daring to make a sound, and subsequently, Shen Qiang calmly glanced at Kang Youcheng and said, "Come on, don't hold back, because when I strike you, I won't show any mercy either!"
