NFBE Chapter 386 Reunion with Wang Ya
Chapter 386 Reunion with Wang Ya
After sending the four women back, Shen Xu returned to the Tianhe Club. He expected the guards at the entrance to stop him, but they let him in without saying a word.
Following the route he remembered, he arrived at Lu Qingqing's room and knocked on the door. The reason he came to find Lu Qingqing first was because he only knew where Lu Qingqing's room was.
A moment later, Lu Qingqing opened the door and her eyes showed a clear surprise and delight when she saw Shen Xu, because it was almost dusk and she did not expect Shen Xu to come to see her at this time.
Sitting in the chair in the room, Shen Xu asked, "Senior Brother Lu's matter has most likely been settled. Did he come to see Senior Sister Wang today?"
Lu Qingqing shook her head, then asked, "What did my brother say?"
"He won Miss Qin's heart with great difficulty, so he won't give up so easily. But don't worry, the Qin family won't take action against anyone else. However, the engagement between Senior Brother Lu and Senior Sister Wang will probably be nullified."
“It’s impossible for Senior Sister Wang to be with my brother anymore. This outcome is a relief for both of them.” Lu Qingqing couldn’t help but sigh.
"Alright, let's just leave it at that. Senior Brother Lu might be busy these next few days, but he'll come looking for you after this period. Do you know where Senior Sister Wang is? I have some things I'd like to ask her privately."
"I'll take you."
After Lu Qingqing pointed out Wang Ya's room to him, she returned to her own room. Shen Xu stood at Wang Ya's door, but suddenly felt a little afraid to face her.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Xu gently knocked on Wang Ya's door.
"Who is it?" Wang Ya's slightly haggard voice came from inside the room.
"Senior sister, it's me, Shen Xu. I have some questions I'd like to ask you."
After a while, Wang Ya opened the door. "Shen Xu, what's wrong? Why are you here at this hour?"
"I'd like to ask some questions about Wu Qi."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ya's expression changed, and she said, "Come in and let's talk!"
"I haven't been in the mood to tidy up lately, so the room is a bit messy. Just find somewhere to sit."
"Ok!"
In fact, Shen Xu felt that it might not be a bad thing for Wang Ya not to be with Lu Qingshan. Lu Qingshan was bound by Wang Ya, but wasn't Wang Ya also bound by Lu Qingshan?
In his memory, Wang Ya was a free-spirited woman who dared to love and hate. Perhaps after she stopped being fixated on Lu Qingshan, she might live an even more brilliant life in the future.
"What do you want to ask? Only Father knows the whole story about Wu Qi. I've only heard Father mention a few bits and pieces."
"I want to know how Wu Qi acquired the abilities hidden in the shadows?"
"You've really asked a tricky question. I'm sorry, I can't answer it because it involves Wu Qi's safety."
"The Shadow Clan, right?" Shen Xu suddenly asked.
Upon hearing Shen Xu's words, Wang Ya's expression changed, and she exclaimed, "It really is a big place. Although my father had warned him before we came, he still couldn't bear to show off in front of you."
Actually, I don't know too much. I only know that Wu Qi's father instructed him not to reveal the Shadow's Intent until Wu Qi had grown up. So I hope you can keep this secret for Wu Qi.
"Does Wu Qi know that he knows about this?"
“We only told him not to reveal the Shadow Intent, but we didn’t tell him about the Shadow Clan.”
“I’m sorry, I’ve already told a friend about this, but she’s also a Shadow Clan member, and a Shadow Clan member with a lineage,” Shen Xu said seriously.
He felt that the Wang family had protected Wu Qi too well. Since Wu Qi had such talent, he shouldn't waste his time in the Green Bamboo Mountains. Since the inner demon could teach Ye Zhi, they certainly wouldn't give up on Wu Qi, after all, in Ye Zhi's words, every member of their clan was extremely precious to them.
"What did you say?" Wang Ya immediately stood up and asked in disbelief.
“She wants to meet with Wu Qi, and I think Wu Qi is now qualified to know the truth. Moreover, with the help of my friend, Wu Qi can even stay in the Four Directions Sword Alliance.”
"This... but I can't make that decision!" Wang Ya paced back and forth in the room anxiously, her mind still unsettled.
"Senior Sister Wang, I won't harm Wu Qi. Wu Qi isn't a child anymore. How long do you plan to keep this from him? If he really wants to go to Zhongzhou on his own, now is an excellent opportunity."
“You’re right. If Wu Qi stays with us at the Green Bamboo Sword Sect, when will he ever have the strength to go to the Central Plains?”
"But can your friend really get Wu Qi to stay in the Four Directions Sword Alliance?" Wang Ya stopped and stared intently at Shen Xu.
"I can't guarantee that, but even if he can't become a formal disciple of the Sword Alliance, he will definitely be able to stay in the Sword Alliance and enjoy the benefits of a Sword Alliance disciple."
Since the Sword Selection takes place once every ten years, if a genius with exceptional talent emerges during these ten years, the Sword Alliance is not entirely without leeway; all that is required is for an elder to accept him as a disciple.
Moreover, he felt that it wouldn't be too difficult for someone like Xinmo to get Wu Qi into the Sword Alliance.
“Shen Xu, Wu Qi is lucky to have a friend like you. I will explain what happened today to Wu Qi, and I will also explain to my father when we get back. I believe he will understand.”
"Alright! I'll bring my friend to see Wu Qi tomorrow. By the way, are you going to the auction tomorrow, Senior Sister?"
"Yes! We plan to check out the Class B auction at Bishuiquan tomorrow."
“Perfect timing, I’m going to that auction tomorrow too, let’s meet there!” Shen Xu couldn’t help but smile.
"It's getting late, Senior Sister, you should get some rest too."
Shen Xu got up and walked to the door, then turned his back to Wang Ya and said, "Lu Qingshan will regret not marrying you, Senior Sister."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ya froze on the spot, then smiled softly.
When Shen Xu walked out of Tianhe Club, a crescent moon was already hanging high in the sky.
Before coming to Tianhe Guild Hall, he had already told Li Xiaoyi and the others that he would not be returning to Qinglingxi today. After all, he would be coming to Tianjian City again tomorrow, so he might as well stay in Tianjian City for one night.
He was a little worried that Qiling Baihe might throw a tantrum and refuse to cooperate with the performance tomorrow, but during this time Qiling Baihe had gradually figured out the value of the Nourishing Yuan Pill.
Tempted by three million Nourishing Essence Pills, even the Spirit-Praying White Crane would probably find it difficult to maintain its arrogance.
But if three million isn't enough for its appearance fee, then he still has to go to Tianjian Mountain to persuade it, since the Praying Spirit White Crane is the core of his marketing plan.
Tomorrow's auction is the key to reaping the rewards of victory; it can't afford to fail. If it doesn't go through with the wood carvings, millions of dollars in value will evaporate out of thin air.
After a while, Shen Xu walked out of a hotel in a daze, suspecting that he had walked into another shady establishment.
With a sigh, Shen Xu couldn't help but curse his own stupidity. During the Sword Selection, the hotel rooms in Tianjian City were already ridiculously expensive, not to mention during the Four Directions Auction, the prices of those hotels almost made him think the innkeepers had gone mad. The Sword Alliance really should do something about these outrageous innkeepers.
Moreover, the checks in Tianjian City were exceptionally strict at this time. He was checked three times while looking for an inn. If he hadn't been a disciple of the Sword Alliance, he would have been imprisoned in Tianjian City long ago.
Left with no other choice, he showed his jade token as a disciple of the Sword Alliance. After strongly refusing the innkeeper's request to stay for one night for free, he checked into a luxuriously decorated room at the normal price.
