Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1948 - 1951: The Hesitant Girl and the Alluring Violet

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, the people present all exchanged strange glances. It was clear that although Shen Qiang and Pan Zheng had been smiling, their words had shown an irreconcilable conflict. After all, these two individuals—one a Medicine King, the Alliance Hierarch of the Pill Alliance, and the other one of the top ten alchemists within the circle, also the leader of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands—were not on good terms.Shen Qiang suddenly decided to visit Pan Zheng after receiving a phone call. His attitude was quite blunt, and almost everyone around the table realized that something was amiss.

"Sure, the Medicine King's visit is always welcome, and Pan Zheng is ready anytime." Although Pan Zheng didn't know what Shen Qiang was planning, refusing his suggestion would make him seem petty and weak.

"Then it's settled. I will visit after the banquet."

After saying these words.

Throughout the banquet, Shen Qiang did not speak to Pan Zheng again. His main conversation partner was Ji Liangchuan.

The person who originally represented Long Chang at the Elixir Pills Conference was Ji Liangyuan. He often collaborated with Kunlun's Sect Leader Ma to cause trouble for Shen Qiang.

However, as the tides turned, not only did Shen Qiang not fall, but he became the Medicine King. He revealed his Calamity Relief Golden Pills, and under his Pill Alliance were three hundred alchemists. In this scenario, the Ji Family naturally wasn't foolish. They immediately replaced Ji Liangyuan with Ji Liangchuan to represent Long Chang, dissipating the previous tensions.

Others were representatives of the five top-notch sects and families, exchanging mostly polite words.

By the time the dinner and drinks ended, night had fallen completely. Medicine King Valley organized some entertainment with songs and dance, giving it a resort-like vibe.

The stunning Fairy, Qin Yurou, bid farewell to Shen Qiang with reluctant eyes, and returned to the Medicine King Valley with the Valley Master.

"Wait for me tonight, I want you to confess everything honestly." The alluring Baihua Palace Master whispered before turning to leave.

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit helpless.

Later, he called on Zi Se, whose allure was of a level that resembled a war machine, handed her a laptop, and pointed to some pre-recorded videos. He said, "This is an investigation I asked someone to conduct on the Ye Family for you, take a look."

Zi Se looked at Shen Qiang nervously.

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I didn't see the specifics. Put on the headphones and watch it yourself. We'll talk after you've watched it."

Hearing this, Zi Se hesitated for a moment, then followed Shen Qiang to the edge of the villa area.

It started drizzling again.

She sat quietly on the stone railing of the small bridge.

Her True Yuan quietly dispersed, warding off the falling raindrops.

And Shen Qiang stood quietly by her side, staring into the ripple-filled waters beneath the bridge in the night, lost in thought.

In truth, Zi Se was crucial to Shen Qiang. She was not only the manager of the Datong River Beijing store.

More importantly, she was a member of the Illusion Demolition Group.

Her cultivation was at the Dao Fruit Stage.

From any perspective, she was an absolute elite.

Shen Qiang had countless reasons not to want Zi Se to leave.

There was even a moment when Shen Qiang thought about hiding the investigation results from her, giving her an alternative result. This way, Zi Se might choose to kill Pan Zheng, solving the problem once and for all.

But, unfortunately.

Shen Qiang wasn't someone who would do anything to achieve his goals.

Deep within, Shen Qiang had no qualms about eliminating Pan Zheng, but he hoped Zi Se could understand the whole situation.

After all, anyone who seeks to become stronger will never lack enemies.

But trusted allies are scarce.

Zi Se was a good woman, independent with few words, with no guile, someone to trust.

So, no matter how he thought about it, letting her know the truth and make her choice was what Shen Qiang should do.

If, at that time, she chose to help her father Pan Zheng, then so be it.

If she chose to stay, Shen Qiang would be happier.

After all, whether as friends or half lovers, parting amicably was better than harming her.

Emotions were quite complex.

After all, blood is thicker than water—this can never change.

After a long time, when the raindrops paused, Shen Qiang heard Zi Se's sobbing.

He turned his head and calmly watched Zi Se wipe her tears silently, sitting there without a word. Shen Qiang said, "You should understand the situation now. Pan Zheng didn't lie; what he said was true. He never intended to abandon you; he was helping you find your mother."

Upon hearing this, Zi Se's tears rolled down without making a sound.

Seeing her like this, Shen Qiang inexplicably felt a pang of heartache, but then he took a deep breath and said, "If you want to cry, you will have plenty of time later. But after the Elixir Pills Conference ends tomorrow afternoon, we are headed back. So, I think it's best if you wipe your tears now and come with me to visit Pan Zheng."

Zi Se was stunned. After a while, she nervously asked, "Why?"

"We're all adults here. Telling too many lies is pointless. If you want to reconcile with him, now is the best opportunity."

Looking at the serious Shen Qiang, Zi Se suddenly felt nervous, her expression somewhat lost as she said, "I'm not ready for this kind of thing. Let me think about it. There's no rush; there will be many opportunities in the future."

"Living in self-deception is quite pathetic, but even more pathetic is believing your own lies." Shen Qiang calmly raised an eyebrow and said, "You should know that if you acknowledge him now, then it's done. If you miss today, for a very long, exceedingly long time, you won't want to reconcile. When your emotions settle, you'll have more concerns, and taking the initiative to acknowledge him will be impossible."

"But..." Zi Se hesitated.

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "There's nothing more to say. Remember, you're already an adult. Not only is your father there, but also a biological younger brother. Don't you want to see them and talk with them?"

"I do! But…" Zi Se was clearly full of concerns.

Seeing her hesitant, Shen Qiang shook his head helplessly and then pulled her up, saying, "Trust my judgment. Pan Zheng will be very happy, and your brother too. If Yun Lan doesn't welcome you, ignore her. Remember, you still have Datong River, Heshenghe, and me."

Zi Se was stunned. After a long time, she said, "Is this a confession?"

Shen Qiang laughed, shaking his head, "Of course not."

Zi Se remained silent, her eyes showing disappointment.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang gave her a hug. Then, close to her ear, he whispered, "You're not alone. Trust me, go see him, because sometimes, people or things, once missed, are gone forever."
