"I shall wait for your response here." Qiang Qing Yun said a moment later.
"Alright." Yuan nodded.
Their conversation ended there, and Qiang Qing Yun waved goodbye as Yuan walked out of the restaurant.
When Yuan left the restaurant, Kelan immediately looked at him with a questioning gaze. He wasn't aware of Yuan's plans or his conversation with Qiang Qing Yun. However, the conversation ended a little too early for his comfort.
Despite understanding Kelan's feelings, Yuan ignored him and left. "Commander Kelan." Qiang Qing Yun's voice resounded from inside the restaurant shortly after Yuan left.
Kelan hastily entered to see Qiang Qing Yun smiling from ear to ear. This caused Kelan's eyebrows to involuntarily raise.
'Why is she so happy when he rejected her invitation?' he wondered inwardly.
"You've done an excellent job scouting such a talented individual. Although I wish to reward you, I don't want to create any misunderstandings since you belong to Celestial Overlord Xu's group."
"It's fine. And honestly, I intended for Celestial Overlord Xu to recruit him, but she refused, so there's nothing else I can do."
"You could've recruited him before I arrived. Why didn't you?" Qiang Qing Yun asked.
Kelan sneered, "And offend you, who has the second largest group in the faction? I'd rather not. There are plenty of talents out there, anyway. We can miss one or two."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that. There may be many talented individuals out there, but there are rarely any monsters like him. Even a thousand geniuses wouldn't be able to compare to him."
"You think so highly of him despite this being your first meeting with him. Why?"
Qiang Qing Yun smiled and said, "You're not the only one in the world who recognizes talent when they see it. That man… I have never seen anything like that before."
'I must get my hands on him no matter what!' she clenched her fists, her eyes filled with determination.
While Qiang Qing Yun waited for Yuan's return, she purchased and drank nearly the entire wine restaurant's stock.
Yuan pretended to contact his family when, in reality, he was spending his time at the Myriad of Techniques with the others.
"Brother!" A familiar figure greeted Yuan when he returned to the Myriad of Techniques.
"Yu Rou…" A warm smile appeared on Yuan's face after seeing his little sister.
Meixiu had revealed Yuan's situation to Yu Rou. When Yu Rou learned of this, she cried like a baby. Fortunately, there were still ways for them to meet inside Cultivation Online.
"Sorry, but I won't be able to visit you for a while." Yuan apologized to her.
"It's okay. It's not like you have a choice." Yu Rou shook her head as she embraced him.
"However, I am worried about your body."
"Acting within the Celestial Overlords without affecting Lady Xu, huh? That's a great idea. I will let her know later." Senior Bai said. freewёbnoνel.com
