The next morning, after pondering all night, Qingxie put on his clothes and was just about to go out. Before he even opened the door, he could clearly hear his combat team members laughing happily in the living room.

"This place is truly a mansion, so comfortable to live in, it's amazing. Walking downstairs, it's not even two hundred meters to a street full of restaurants. It's fantastic; whatever you want to eat is there. I've roughly estimated, if we eat at a different place every day, it would take three to four months to try them all."

"Tch, all you think about is food. Do you know what the best part about living here is? As soon as you go downstairs, there are all sorts of beautiful women. It's winter, and those girls, long legs, black stockings, wearing down jackets as white as snow. Hahaha, just a short while ago, I saw more than a dozen perfectly built, beautiful women, almost more than the entire last year combined."

"Of course, this is the city center. If we were still staying at our station, haha, forget beautiful women, we wouldn't even have a variety of breakfasts. So, I have to say, we really need to thank that Shen Qiang for letting us stay here."

Qingxie, who was initially about to push the door open, stopped behind it.

"Indeed, to be honest, we spend all day hunting down criminal cultivators, traveling across Jiangnan and Jiaonan. I wouldn't say we have a grand view of the world, but we aren't completely inexperienced either. Just speaking about spending money, why would Shen Qiang spend twenty million to buy us a house to live in?"

"Sigh, you have to give it to him, Shen Qiang is totally aboveboard and daring. Honestly, if I had twenty million, even bothering to acknowledge you guys would be questionable. Even if I wanted to socialize, at most, I'd just treat you to a meal. Expecting me to spend twenty million without expecting anything in return to give you guys benefits would be a dream."

"These words might be harsh, but they are the truth. If I had twenty million, there's no way I'd spend it all on my brothers. So, honestly, Shen Qiang being able to be the King of Demons, his heart and magnanimity are not something ordinary people can match."

Hearing their words, Qingxie's hand on the doorknob twitched inexplicably.

"Shen Qiang is a respectable strongman, not because he has a lot of money, but because he's not like others who think they're something just because they have money, looking down on others. He respects us, so we can't be ungrateful."

"Exactly, look at these pajamas, slippers, bedding, and the environment. Shen Qiang has thought of everything for us. So, I don't care if he's a bad guy, in my heart, he's the most respectable person in this Provincial City."

"Of course, haven't we traveled enough? In all the Cultivation Sects, including those internal to the Dragon Group, who else has treated us like Shen Qiang? He has money, that's his capability, and he treats us like family. Nothing more to say, today I declare if anyone plans against Shen Qiang behind his back, I will be the first to disagree."

"Yes, we won't agree either."

Hearing this.

Qingxie, with a cold face, suddenly pulled the door open and walked out of the room, instantly seeing his combat team members all present in the living room, turning their heads to look at him.

Taking a deep breath, inexplicably, Bianyi's smile floated in Qingxie's mind.

Then he smiled, nodding seriously as he said, "You're right, Shen Qiang indeed is a good person. As long as it doesn't go against major principles, we indeed should protect his interests. After all, there are not many good people like him left. So if anyone is plotting against him behind his back, I won't agree either."

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

"Captain, with you saying that, we feel relieved. Come and eat; that street over there has all kinds of cuisines, whatever you want. Come and see if the hometown dishes taste authentic."

The lively team members pulled Qingxie to the dining room for breakfast.

Qingxie, smiling, however, had a bit of difficulty eating.

Looking at the excited and joyful team members, inexplicably, Qingxie felt anxious in his heart.

"He truly is a tricky man. Humble and courteous in front of so many team members, and very considerate of them. He has already won these team members' goodwill. Although it's unclear if they have spotted something and deliberately said those things for me to hear, or if they genuinely think that way."

"But if he doesn't act recklessly, flaunt his power, and make them hate him, then Shen Qiang will only gain more prestige. By the time I make a move against him, I'm afraid Shen Qiang himself wouldn't even need to do anything; these people would first stand up against me."

"What to do? Directly use the demon beast information and ask Shen Qiang for help in demon hunting? No, Shen Qiang won't go. He's the King of Demons. If that demon doesn't commit evil, Shen Qiang won't take action against it."

"Brother, if it were you, what would you do? Help me!" Sitting at the table, Qingxie, watching the cheerful team members happily praising Shen Qiang while they ate, felt unprecedented despair, with the initial confidence upon coming here already vanished.

Because everything that happened after arriving here completely exceeded his expectations.

In such a situation, trying to sow discord between the team members and Shen Qiang, and targeting Shen Qiang was already impossible.

Even though he had information about the ferocious demon beast, it was of no use because the beast never left the Oasis. Hiring someone to kill and frame the beast then seeking help from Shen Qiang?

This was a plan he'd considered for an entire night, ultimately confirming it would fail.

Because Shen Qiang's Heshenghe doesn't accept all demons.

Innocent-killing demons are ignored by Shen Qiang, so asking Shen Qiang for help would one hundred percent result in Shen Qiang calmly replying to just kill it, the Dragon Group can handle that.

By then, even the only trump card would be useless, making it impossible to kill Shen Qiang.

Not only that.

The Qingyun Sword Pavilion people had already had several small-scale conflicts recently.

They couldn't counterattack Heshenghe, the Carefree Valley's young lady married Heshenghe's president Shen Bian seeking stability, the Villa Master at Hidden Sword Villa has sent his own son to Heshenghe, and Baihua Palace quietly watched on one side.

Heshenghe had stabilized. As long as Shen Qiang doesn't mess up, soon he would ascend smoothly, becoming a respected figure among cultivators.

"So, this is already the last chance to kill him!"

Qingxie's eyes were fierce, somehow in his mind Bianyi appeared with a sneer, looking at him with a 'you idiot' expression.

Suddenly, Qingxie's eyes lit up with a flash of inspiration.

"I understand now! Shen Qiang is truly not just a do-gooder, but considering how he cares for combat members, he's responsible. He's willing to do things for Huaxia's safety and the Dragon Group without asking for anything in return; a soft spot! This is his soft spot, you're finished, Shen Qiang!"
