He had not even finished uttering "share" when Wang Xiaoqiang glared furiously, pointed with his index finger at the man's widely opened mouth, and immediately, the man's mouth was stuck wide open, motionless, looking quite ridiculous.

Seeing this, everyone exchanged glances. They were not frightened by Wang Xiaoqiang's method; to be honest, for a cultivator, such a trick was not clever. In fact, Wang Xiaoqiang had merely shot a Spiritual Energy Needle that sealed the man's throat.

What they dreaded was that Wang Xiaoqiang had actually made a move against the Lin Family Members—a very bad omen. The problem of the Evil Cultivator had not been resolved yet, and if they made another enemy now, wouldn't that be asking for unnecessary trouble? Regardless of how high Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base was, he was not someone the Lin Family Members could afford to offend.

Seeing this, the Lin Family Head Lin Zhiyuan immediately clasped his fists and said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Mr. Wang, my son has spoken out of turn. Please don't stoop to his level..."

Wang Xiaoqiang indignantly retorted, "I came here today out of respect for Immortal Beauty, to help you out of a crisis. Yet it seems you don't take me seriously at all, and I can also see that you seem more willing to sacrifice Immortal Beauty's happiness in exchange for the security of your clan, hmph. I want to ask, you bunch of grown men, relying on a weak woman to bear everything for you, then enjoying a peaceful and happy life, don't you feel ashamed while basking in all this?"

All the men of the Lin Family in the room felt disgraced upon hearing this, lowering their heads in shame. Lin Xianshu, touched by Wang Xiaoqiang's words, felt a warmth in her heart and a twinge in her nose, as two tears slid down from the corners of her beautiful eyes.

"If you don't trust me, then why should I bother helping you? Would that not make me a fool?"

Having said that, Wang Xiaoqiang flung his sleeves and turned to leave.

"Little Qiang, you, you can't go." Lin Xianshu grabbed hold of Wang Xiaoqiang, as a drowning person clutches at a straw.

As Wang Xiaoqiang made to leave, most of the Lin men's expressions changed drastically. Although they didn't think highly of Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation level, an extra helper was always a good thing. However, there were still a few who remained unswayed by Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Immortal Beauty, I came here today mainly to help you. I didn't expect them to look down on me like this. Although I come from humble beginnings, I've never been able to tolerate the slightest disdain from others. So, Immortal Beauty, I'm sorry..." Having said this, Wang Xiaoqiang pulled his hand out of Lin Xianshu's and walked away.

As Wang Xiaoqiang left resolutely, an indignant Lin Xianshu was about to shout at the men in the room, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Instead, she turned her gaze to her grandfather, Lin Zhiyuan, and angrily said, "Grandfather, what are you doing? I managed to invite him with great difficulty, and you've chased him away with your attitudes. Do you think I would invite him if I wasn't confident? Would I joke with the lives of our whole Lin Family? By the way, Grandfather, I forgot to tell you, Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation has reached Divinity Transformation. Do you understand what that means..."

Upon hearing this last comment, all the men of the Lin Family were taken aback. Even though they were not versed in the Path of Cultivation, they had some understanding of the general realms and were shocked to learn that Wang Xiaoqiang was at the level of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Dumbfounded!

Lin Xianshu continued, "Take the Sect Leader of the Mount Hua Sword Sect, Li Gufeng, for example. His cultivation is only just Divinity Transformation, and moreover, Li Gufeng only reached Divinity Transformation last year. In terms of strength, Wang Xiaoqiang is entirely on par with Li Gufeng..."

Lin Xianshu hadn't finished speaking when Lin Zhiyuan interjected remorsefully, "My dear, why didn't you say so sooner? Oh dear, quickly, everyone follow me to chase after Wang Xiaoqiang..."

As the Family Head, Lin Zhiyuan's quick wits and soul power were naturally incomparable to ordinary people. Having made a mistake, he immediately took remedial measures. He believed that given the relationship between his granddaughter Lin Xianshu and Wang Xiaoqiang, the situation could still be salvaged.

Learning that Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation was on par with Li Gufeng, the Sect Leader of the Hua Immortal Sword Sect, not one man in the room dared to underestimate Wang Xiaoqiang any further. They all immediately followed Lin Zhiyuan, rushing out after him, with Lin Xianshu also in pursuit. Fearing Wang Xiaoqiang might leave for good in his anger, she quickly performed a movement technique and, like a phantom, she flashed out of the room.

However, when all the members of the Lin Family came out, they discovered that Wang Xiaoqiang had already disappeared without a trace. The men of the Lin Family became as anxious as ants on a hot pan, circling frantically. The family head, Lin Zhiyuan, said to Lin Xianshu, "Xianshu, hurry and give Wang Xiaoqiang a call, tell him we've offended him and want to apologize in person, to ask for his forgiveness…"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xianshu did not delay and immediately took out the Message Jade Slip from her bosom to communicate with Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang was originally taking the opportunity to visit his hometown and was about to fly away when he received the message from Lin Xianshu. He didn't refuse to talk to her because she was not the one who had offended him, "Hello, Little Qiang, where are you? You mustn't leave… please, I beg you, do it for me this once. If you leave, not only will my Lin Family suffer tonight, but I won't be able to take it either…"

Listening to Lin Xianshu, who hadn't even given him a proper look during their first meeting, now begging him, the feeling of being needed filled him with satisfaction. Wang Xiaoqiang decided to help, not for any other reason but for Lin Xianshu. If he didn't help, Lin Xianshu would definitely not get through it easily. Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "Alright, I'll come back."

With a flash of his figure, Wang Xiaoqiang was back in the office hallway.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang return, the men of the Lin Family immediately bent slightly at the waist, not daring to lift their heads too high. The family head, Lin Zhiyuan, even went up to Wang Xiaoqiang and bowed deeply, "Mr. Wang, I am deeply sorry for the earlier offense. This old man represents the entire Lin Family in offering you our apologies and hopes that you will not take offense with us unworthy commoners."

After Lin Zhiyuan's bow, the rest of the Lin Family men also stepped forward and simultaneously bowed deeply to Wang Xiaoqiang, saying in unison, "We are sorry, Mr. Wang!"

Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand, "Alright, I've come back, so I won't dwell on it…"

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang willing to return, joy and gratitude surged in Lin Xianshu's heart. Without thinking, she stepped forward and latched onto Wang Xiaoqiang's arm tightly, as though afraid he would leave again.

Being tightly clung to by Lin Xianshu in front of so many men from the Lin Family, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a wave of satisfaction… and wrapped his arm around Lin Xianshu's waist…

The expressions on the faces of the Lin Family men who saw this were as bizarre as they were awkward, and as uncomfortable as they were embarrassed. To be honest, even if Wang Xiaoqiang was Lin Xianshu's boyfriend or even her husband, to touch Lin Xianshu so publicly in front of them, in front of the core members of the Lin Family, was a form of desecration, a deep desecration. It was a clear sign that he did not regard these men at all.

However, at that moment, not a single one of the Lin Family men dared to utter a word or even show their feelings on their faces. Lin Zhiyuan turned around and harshly instructed the family's core members, "What are you standing around for? Get back to the conference room."

"Yes!" No one dared to object. They immediately responded and fled towards the conference room as if escaping. Out of sight, out of mind; for them, returning to the conference room was a relief.

Lin Zhiyuan then turned back to Wang Xiaoqiang with a smile, "Mr. Wang, I shall return to the conference room as well, and I will prepare a pot of fine tea for you…"

"Haha~~~~ Good, I'm actually quite thirsty right now, so I'll take you up on that tea later…" Wang Xiaoqiang replied with a triumphant smile.

"Then I shall take my leave…" Lin Zhiyuan didn't dare to look at the pair and, with his head bowed like a eunuch, retreated to the conference room to personally prepare tea for Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Let go!" As soon as Grandpa Lin Zhiyuan had left, Lin Xianshu swatted away Wang Xiaoqiang's Demon Palm with a fierce glare, that beautiful blushing face of hers showing an irresistible charm when annoyed, a vision of stunning beauty…
