Hearing what the Village Chief and the Security Team Captain said, Li Wei's eyes lit up like light bulbs: "I tell you Shen Qiang, you're really amazing. Now, I admire no one but you. The other day when I met you at the vegetable market, seeing you wearing a big coat and driving a tricycle, I thought you weren't doing well. I never expected you to be a hidden master!"

Tang Meng also smiled with squinted eyes: "It was truly unexpected. Originally, Li Wei and I were thinking that if this matter didn't go well, even if we didn't get married, we'd sell the house rather than let you bear this. But who would've thought, that Hu Yongqiang would come and apologize to you. You're genuinely too incredible!"

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "It's not that I'm amazing, it's just that Hu Yongqiang realized that turning back is the right choice, it's his decision."

"Don't be modest," Li Wei laughed, showing his molars. "Modesty is good, but being too modest is hypocritical. Amazing! Truly amazing! Hu Yongqiang must be afraid of you, otherwise he wouldn't have come!"

Shen Qiang just smiled, there was really nothing else to say.

The Village Chief and the Security Team Captain had things to attend to, so they laughed and chatted with Shen Qiang for a bit, giving a thumbs-up to Shen Qiang's father saying, "Your son is now the number one in our village!"

With that, the two of them bid farewell and left.

Li Wei was grinning from ear to ear, not wanting to leave, but Tang Meng, being quite sensible, knew it was the 28th of the lunar month, New Year's was soon, and every family had affairs to attend to. Shen Qiang couldn't just accompany him all the time, so she pulled him away.

"Shen Qiang, how about I quit my job and follow you? This is too impressive." Li Wei said as he left.

Shen Qiang just smiled.

Because Shen Qiang understood that people do not enjoy perpetual good fortune, and flowers do not bloom for a hundred days.

Classmates feel good when they meet after a long time, but if life truly intertwines together, over time it's not the same.

So let's just forget about this.

Li Wei is not a cultivator.

Nor does he have leadership abilities.

Doing ordinary work at Heshenghe might not be as satisfying as him teaching.

At that point, it would be awkward for both parties, so why bother.

So this matter, unless Li Wei truly has no job, Shen Qiang would not consider bringing him to Heshenghe.

At this time, snow began to fall from the sky, and Xu Nan was very happy running out from the house, saying: "Shen Qiang, it's snowing, can you take me out to play?"

Shen Qiang smiled and agreed, and the other women also came out, still as beautiful as flowers in their feather-soft clothing.

Meanwhile.

Thousands of kilometers away.

On an island.

The sea breeze was gentle. Under the fiery sun, a woman with a sun hat and a white long dress, possessing a perfect figure, stood barefoot on the sea surface.

Buzz!

The long sword in her hand, as wide as a finger, trembled.

Boom!

The water surface a few hundred meters in front of her suddenly split, like glass being cut.

Rumble!

The split sea surface restored itself after a moment.

The woman put away the long sword and turned around. Although she wore sunglasses which made it hard to see her face clearly, her rounded chin, white teeth, and smooth facial contours could make anyone sense without a doubt that she was a beauty.

"Not bad, this Jade Finger Sword is indeed worthy of being one of the top Immortal Artifacts in the Cultivation World legend."

As she spoke.

The woman casually threw the sword she had put away to a man standing by the beach, then returned to her sunshade, laying back on a lounger.

"I thought you'd be thrilled, overjoyed." With the Jade Finger Sword in his hand, a sturdy and handsome man walked toward her and said.

The woman smiled and said very calmly: "If you want to please me, then go get the Black Blade Youying. Now, in the entire Cultivation World, besides it, nothing else interests me."

The man laughed and placed the Jade Finger Sword on the table beside him, then sat next to her and said, looking at the beauty in the long dress lying on the lounger: "Forget it, if it were a one-on-one duel with Shen Qiang, I'd still be very confident, but his situation is too complex; I don't want to lose my life and not get the Black Blade."

The woman laughed and said: "Saying such cowardly words is not like you."

The man laughed: "Beating Ling Zhengyang was already very difficult for me, but that guy couldn't withstand even one move from Shen Qiang's Evil Spirit. I'm not a muscle-headed fool like Ling Zhengyang, so don't give me any more lousy ideas. Without absolute assurance, I won't have any conflict with him."

The woman laughed: "Then why did you bring the Jade Finger Sword? Isn't it to let me deal with him?"

The man smiled and said: "Not at all. I just wanted to bring the Jade Finger Sword for you to try out. After all, this sword is considered an Exotic Treasure in the Cultivation World, and the Sect Leader of Kunlun Sword Sect even provided the Kunlun Sword Technique. So now many Bounty Hunters have taken on the task of killing Shen Qiang."

The woman laughed: "What's the use of accepting the task? A task with a ten-year deadline, even if they accept it, they may not dare to touch Shen Qiang. Moreover, besides the Jade Finger Sword that's somewhat interesting, I've seen five versions of the Kunlun Sword Technique so far. They all look impressive but lack power without the mental method of the Kunlun lineage."

The man smiled and said: "Well then, let's talk about the Black Blade Youying. Do you really not intend to make a move?"

The woman hesitated for a moment and then said: "I heard that the Sword Spirit is even more beautiful than me, which indeed makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. However, I'm interested in it not because I must have it, and it doesn't matter if it's with Shen Qiang or anyone else. Whenever I want it, I can take it."

The man smiled, then said seriously: "Let's talk about matters on the platform. If the Jade Finger Sword and Kunlun Sword Technique were converted into cash, Shen Qiang's bounty, on the entire platform, has already entered the top one hundred, but his own strength is estimated to be outside the top thousand, making him a golden boy."

The woman smiled: "What do you want to say?"

The man hesitated for a moment and said: "I've calculated Shen Qiang's bounty in detail. Currently, the cash bounty is only two billion, which isn't high, but there are many valuable things for his head, such as this Jade Finger Sword and Kunlun Sword Technique, whose value, if sold, is at least fifteen billion."

Smiling warmly at the woman, the man said: "He's already the top first among those under thirty on the platform in terms of the highest bounty, so I personally feel he should be a key observation target because of his meteoric rise, overshadowing other young cultivators."

The woman smiled: "What about Qian Shanxue, weren't you always most optimistic about her and thought she deserved to be included in the list of ten people to be protected? How quickly your affections change, truly realistic."

The man smiled, raising an eyebrow: "Qian Shanxue is excellent. Since the news of her promotion to Major General in the Dragon Group came out, her bounty has increased by another two billion. It's evident that those in the Dark World are very cautious of her, but... she is not irreplaceable. The Dragon Group's Wenren Meiqiao possesses a power that matches hers completely."
