Back in the room, Shen Qiang gave Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend some antibodies against botulinum toxin, and in about five minutes, Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend had noticeably started to recover. He tossed a bottle of Jade Cream to Xiu Ju to apply on Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend.
Afterward, Shen Qiang left the room with Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong, venturing into the neighborhood.
Sitting by the short concrete wall near the flowerbeds was Ji Liangchuan, whose complexion was visibly distressed.
"It's really surprising. I never thought that Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong would really believe that you could cure that woman, nor did I expect you to trust Shen Qiang. So, I still want to urge you both to think it over carefully. Our Ji Family is a super-first-class family in the Cultivation World."
"And Shen Qiang is merely a cultivator who hasn't even reached the Nascent Soul Stage. He said before that he'd bear the sky if it fell for you, but in reality, he doesn't have that ability. I, Ji Liangchuan, do. As for the woman, what does she matter?"
Ji Liangchuan said with a smile, "I can easily find you a nanny to take care of your girlfriend for life, and then introduce you to a few women from smaller families to bear your children."
Hearing this, both Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong looked at Ji Liangchuan with very cold eyes, not saying a word.
"Why aren't you speaking?" Ji Liangchuan said, "My Ji Family has a flourishing lineage and is renowned in the Cultivation World. As long as you two roll with me, no one would dare be arrogant in front of you."
The two men still didn't speak.
Ji Liangchuan frowned, looked at Shen Qiang, and said, "Are you not letting them talk to me because you're afraid they'll change their minds and join my Ji Family?"
Shen Qiang laughed, "If these two go back on their word, are fickle, and simply go with whoever offers more benefits, then not only will I not care about them at all, but I doubt you would be interested in them either." He turned his head slightly, and said to the two men, "Say something to him. Otherwise, he'll think you've been forced by me and aren't allowed to speak to him."
At those words, Lan Yong couldn't hold back anymore and immediately spoke up, "Ji Liangchuan, you don't have to spout nonsense here. My brother Wu and I aren't kids. What you say doesn't matter. What matters is what you've done. Shen Qiang scolds us, but he genuinely helps. You smile at us, but you're just playing mind games, bragging about how great your Ji Family is while acting like you're bestowing us a favor by letting us follow you."
"It's disgusting." Lan Yong said seriously, "No matter how impressive your Ji Family is, I'm not begging you. No matter how rich you Ji Liangchuan are, I, Lan Yong, don't owe you a dime. So stop beating about the bush with your pointless talk. I'll stick with Shen Qiang because I know he'll help my brother Wu seriously, and he'd do the same for me."
Ji Liangchuan was silent, turning his gaze towards Wu Zhaoyang.
Wu Zhaoyang, a usually stable and reserved man, drew a deep breath and said solemnly, "I love my girlfriend more than myself, so I choose to take care of her myself rather than hiring a nanny, because I'm afraid others won't care for her properly. I'm worried that she'll think I've abandoned her."
"Shen Qiang woke me up. I realized that more than my care, my beloved woman needs health, and Shen Qiang is seriously helping me. As for you, a bastard, you think I need just a nanny to walk away and another woman. If that was really what I wanted, I would have done it myself."
"So I willingly follow Shen Qiang, because I know he sees this point because he genuinely cares about me, while in your eyes, Ji Liangchuan, my existence, Wu Zhaoyang, probably equates to that of a cheap servant."
"Thus, no matter what you say, Ji Liangchuan, I won't follow you."
Ji Liangchuan took a deep breath and said, "So this is how you think. But what if I tell you that I understand you thoroughly, I know what you like and dislike, even having considered a lot for you. Would you change your mind?"
"No," said Wu Zhaoyang.
Lan Yong showed a faint smile, "My brother Shen might look like a scoundrel, but he's loyal and kind-hearted, while you, Ji Liangchuan, appear to be loyal and kind-hearted but are actually a cold-hearted scoundrel at the core. So, we've got nothing to say to you."
Ji Liangchuan took a deep breath and said, "That's your misunderstanding, because you don't really know me."
Lan Yong laughed, "Cut it out, Ji Liangchuan. As your rivals, my brother Wu and I understand you all too well. You're just a selfish little man. You don't need to say more, we know about that beauty lecturer at the Medical University. How good is she to you?"
"Every time we go to play basketball, she's there cheering for you. When you're thirsty, she hands you water. When you're sweating, she gives you a towel. But have you ever given her a proper look? Let me tell you, you never have. You just arrogantly assume that it's all due."
"Furthermore, we all know she's known you for many years, she's been so good to you yet can't get a genuine response from you. What are my brother Wu and I in your eyes then? So, Ji Liangchuan, you might as well give up because I, Lan Yong, might be foolish but not so foolish as to stubbornly think that you would treat me better than her."
Ji Liangchuan was silent, seemingly deep in thought.
Shen Qiang extended his hand with a smile and said, "Ji Liangchuan, do you understand now? The reason you lost to me is not that you aren't good enough, but because you are too arrogant and self-righteous. So now, I think you can hand over the list to me."
Ji Liangchuan frowned, stared at Shen Qiang and said, "You look like you've won, but don't forget your own words. You said you could cure Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend, which is impossible. Even I was helpless with her condition; you can't possibly cure her."
Shen Qiang laughed, "I told you before, my medical skills far exceed your imagination."
"Impossible," Ji Liangchuan said, "unless it's the Medicine King Valley. Otherwise, I couldn't possibly lose. And I know the heir of the Medicine King Valley. So unless I see Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend get better, I won't hand over the list to you. Because..."
Ji Liangchuan was speaking when he suddenly froze mid-sentence.
Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong followed his gaze and turned around, also freezing in shock.
Because at that moment, they clearly saw a young woman, about 1.85 meters tall with an average appearance, being helped out of the dilapidated building by Xiu Ju.
"Ayin!" cried Wu Zhaoyang in ecstasy.
Lan Yong was dumbfounded, "...This is my brother Wu's wife!"
And as the two rushed over, looking at Ji Liangchuan with a dumbfounded expression and a dramatically changed complexion, Shen Qiang smiled and extended his hand, "Fair play to the bet."
Ji Liangchuan sprang to his feet, muttering in shock, "This is impossible!"
Shen Qiang smiled with a slight lift of his eyebrows, "And yet it has happened."
