Chapter 2174 - 2177: Hardheaded Immortal King Cheng Dehai

Upon hearing Wenren Meiqiao's words, Shen Qiang's gaze turned cold for a moment, but then he laughed and said, "Are you sure you're not joking? I humiliated Gong Ziyi a bit yesterday, and today his grandfather is coming?"

"Yes," Wenren Meiqiao replied, "He's on his way here. If you want to avoid him, now might still be time."

Shen Qiang chuckled, calmly looking at Qian Ning's information, and said indifferently, "There's nothing to avoid; if he wants to see me, he can come. I don't care at all because he doesn't have the guts to touch me here."

Upon hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao looked tense and said sternly, "Shen Qiang, don't take it lightly. He won't kill you here, but Iron Hand Immortal King Cheng Dehai is known for being vindictive. If he comes to see you, it's certainly because he thinks you humiliated Gong Ziyi, and he is here to stand up for him, so humiliating you could be the least of it."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Perhaps, but that's how the Cultivation World is. Either you don't compete for anything, let all the benefits go to others and stay as a small transparent figure on the side, or if you try to stand out, a whole bunch of people will jump out."

"When faced with soldiers, build a barrier; when faced with water, build a dam. If you're afraid of the front and back, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes, so there's no need to worry about me."

As Shen Qiang's voice faded, Wenren Meiqiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "No, if Iron Hand Immortal King Cheng Dehai is simply coming for a casual chat, Major General Li wouldn't need to call me and repeatedly instruct me to tell you. So Shen Qiang, you should go; this matter isn't quite right."

"If avoiding and fleeing could solve problems, what would be the use of all this cultivation?" Shen Qiang smiled slightly, saying, "Besides, I would also like to meet such a legendary figure."

Wenren Meiqiao frowned, but as she was about to speak, a male voice full of vigor already resounded like rolling thunder in the room.

"Indeed, a newborn calf doesn't fear a tiger. Shen Qiang, I really like young people like you."

With these words, everyone clearly noticed an imposing elder with a tiger stride entering the room, accompanied by a few Dragon Group officers.

Seeing this, Wenren Meiqiao's female assistant immediately opened the door.

Wenren Meiqiao also stood up.

"Dragon Group, Wenren Meiqiao, pays her respects to Senior Cheng," Wenren Meiqiao saluted, then quickly said to remind Shen Qiang, who was still sitting, "Advisor Shen, this is Senior Cheng, who served in the Dragon Group back in the day, a real senior."

Upon hearing this, the expression of Iron Hand Immortal King Cheng Dehai became more proud.

Yet Shen Qiang remained seated, merely looking at him with a smile, saying, "I am Shen Qiang, honored to have you visit, please sit."

Seeing that Shen Qiang had not stood up, Iron Hand Immortal King Cheng Dehai's expression turned cold, saying, "Indeed, worthy of being the disciple of the War God; his skills may not be outstanding, but his arrogance is learned perfectly."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Group officers looked awkward, unsure of what to do for a moment.

On one hand, Iron Hand Immortal King has served the Dragon Group before and is a senior; on the other hand, Shen Qiang is now the Dragon Group's Security Advisor, a disciple of the Dragon Group's War God.

Neither side is to be offended, so at this moment, looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Iron Hand Immortal King Cheng Dehai's stern face, possessing authority without anger.

Wenren Meiqiao's female assistant, nervously said, "Advisor Shen, Senior Cheng is a respected elder, shouldn't you stand to greet?"

Upon hearing these words, Iron Hand Immortal King looked at Shen Qiang with arrogance, as if saying, understand, kid? You don't have the qualification to remain seated before me.

But Shen Qiang smiled, not only crossing his legs but also calmly sipping tea, saying, "I dislike hypocritical, polite speeches and am tired of meaningless formalities. Let's be honest; since Senior Cheng is here to take me to task, standing to talk won't make him turn away."

"Furthermore, this is Wenren General's office. I am a guest here, not Senior Cheng's guest, so let's skip the formalities. Let's discuss business or do whatever needs doing."

Hearing Shen Qiang's blunt words.

A man beside Iron Hand Immortal King Cheng Dehai angrily said, "Shen Qiang, not just you, this little brat, even if your master was here, he wouldn't dare be so disrespectful to our Immortal King."

Shen Qiang didn't even raise an eyelid, calmly saying, "Shut your mouth, whose belt wasn't tightened, letting you slip out like that? Mind your manners in front of Medicine King, disrespect to the Medicine King is taboo in the Cultivation World."

In an instant, the Dragon Group officers present were dumbfounded.

"Awesome! Advisor Shen Qiang's military rank is just Lieutenant, which is indeed the lowest when making meals for the Combat Team, but Shen Qiang is the legitimate Medicine King in the Cultivation World, a lofty status!"

"Amazing! I forgot, Shen Qiang is the Medicine King, which means he brings a senior aura wherever he goes. Iron Hand Immortal King is cool, but whether Shen Qiang grants him face is another matter; after all, a cultivator might never implore Iron Hand Immortal King once in a lifetime, but who dares say they never consume an elixir pill in their life?"

"What's called extraordinary? This is it!"

"You!" The person beside Iron Hand Immortal King Cheng Dehai angrily opened his mouth.

At this moment, Ye Guyun came bouncing in, raising her brows and sweetly saying, "Shut up!"

Bang!

The office glass shattered.

Instantly, many Dragon Group officers were tense, and simultaneously, Iron Hand Immortal King Cheng Dehai coldly snorted, saying, "Shen Qiang, you certainly have a sharp tongue and are quite arrogant. Such a frivolous young lad, how do you qualify as Medicine King?"

"Not even knowing where to find someone, thinking that flaunting your seniority can cover your lack of basic manners, you better treat your senility soon." Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows and smiled.
