Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1531 - 1534: Fraud in a Fit of Arrogance

The instant Shen Qiang's threatening words reached his ears, Zong Zijin felt his hair stand on end. Standing before him, Shen Qiang was not only taller but also exuded a terrifying aura. His fierce gaze made Zong Zijin suspect that Shen Qiang might actually kill him.Overwhelmed by a profound sense of fear, Zong Zijin instinctively wanted to say, "Don't worry, Shen Qiang, I won't tell anyone."

But just then, he caught sight of his graceful and pure junior sister standing nearby, and suddenly he snapped back to his senses.

"Shen Qiang wouldn't dare to kill me. He wants to be with my junior sister, but since I'm handsome and capable, he feels he can't win over her heart and defeat me. That's why he's trying to scare me into showing weakness, attempting to ruin my image in her eyes."

"Moreover, this is a two-pronged strategy from Shen Qiang. On one hand, he's showing off his tricks in front of my junior sister. On the other hand, he's frightening me, warning me. Shen Qiang, you're indeed formidable, but only I can defeat you."

Zong Zijin, with brightened eyes, said coldly: "Shen Qiang, there's no need for such words. I'm not afraid of you. Put away that villainous look; it doesn't work on me."

Upon hearing this, Abbi, the spirited girl, had her eyes sparkle.

"Wow, senior brother is so cool too; he doesn't seem to be any worse than Shen Qiang."

At the same time, Zong Zijin raised an eyebrow with confidence and transmitted his voice, saying: "You wouldn't dare to touch me because you're chasing after my junior sister. If you hurt me, even if it's for the honor of our sect, my junior sister would turn against you."

Looking at the proud gaze of Zong Zijin, Shen Qiang smiled, glancing at Qin Yurou, who stood silently by with an inexplicable smile on her delicate face; Shen Qiang felt she might have seen through something.

Shen Qiang then smiled and said to Zong Zijin: "Then I'll take your words as a tacit agreement that you won't tell anyone about my plan."

Zong Zijin, raising an eyebrow proudly, said: "Shen Qiang, I warn you, don't talk to me in that commanding tone. Besides, we're no longer kids; you should know I'm not a tattletale."

"Maybe." Shen Qiang chuckled, raising his eyebrows.

Zong Zijin snorted coldly and said: "Shen Qiang, you're really impolite. We can barely communicate because of you. If you're so capable, continue doing what you do. Goodbye."

After finishing, Zong Zijin shrugged his sleeves and turned to leave.

Shen Qiang hastily shouted: "Zong Zijin, where are you going? You need to stay in my line of sight, or who knows if you'll spill my plan?"

Zong Zijin laughed, raising an eyebrow proudly: "Shen Qiang, listen well. First of all, I'm not one of your Sheng He's people; your words have no binding power over me. Second, don't think so highly of yourself. Can you guarantee that among so many cultivators, no one would betray your schemes?"

"Third." Zong Zijin said righteously: "Don't assume the worst of others with your petty mindset. I'm not a scheming villain like you. My pride, you wouldn't understand."

Watching Zong Zijin acting almost like a saint, Abbi's gracious eyes sparkled with admiration: "Senior brother truly is a straightforward and righteous man." Then, looking at Shen Qiang, she inexplicably wanted to laugh: "Shen Qiang, why are you so bad, huh?"

Seeing Shen Qiang showing a helpless expression, the proud Zong Zijin left after receiving praise from Abbi.

Watching him go, Abbi's lovely eyes lingered on his figure, while she sneered at Shen Qiang: "Shen Qiang, I've never seen such a scheming and malicious guy like you. You're too sinister. Though they say all's fair in war, your tricks aren't exactly honorable."

"Look at my senior brother, now that's what you call a gentleman. There are few people as bad as you, from head to toe you're just rotten!"

Watching Abbi snickering even while gazing straight at Shen Qiang, the absolutely beautiful campus belle, Qin Yurou's eyes curled into a smile. Then, she transmitted a message to Shen Qiang, who was smiling at the side: "Shen Qiang, you bad guy, what are you up to? I seem to not fully understand."

"If you really worry that Zong Zijin will reveal your plan, all you had to do was remain silent. He wouldn't have known what you were thinking. Instead, you chose to out that aloud."

"You warned him directly not to tell, but I feel that all you did was purposefully remind Zong Zijin, so if he leaks your plan, you'll just end up being the laughingstock, playing the fool."

"So is it safe to say you're plotting against him?"

Gazing at the sparkling eyes of Qin Yurou, who was communicating with him, Shen Qiang's eyes instantly brightened.

"This is a true campus belle. Being beautiful, well-born, and doing well in studies aren't extraordinary. After all, with some effort and rote memorization, scores can be decent. But being truly smart, that's rare."

Thinking this, Shen Qiang smilingly transmitted a message: "You might be mistaken. He's your senior brother. How could I be plotting against him? You're overthinking. Earlier, I just got carried away and said my true thoughts. But fortunately, I know you won't share this with others, nor will Abbi, and your saintly senior brother wouldn't tell others, so let it be our little secret."

Hearing this, the stunning Qin Yurou immediately determined that Shen Qiang indeed was scheming against Zong Zijin. Because even a little kid knows, when you ask someone not to share your secrets, often by the next day, everyone knows it.

As the King of Demons and a Dragon Group's Security Advisor, if Shen Qiang didn't understand such a basic principle, how could he flourish so well?

So Qin Yurou chuckled softly and then said: "Alright, since you put it that way, I'll believe you didn't plan against him nor utilize him. You just got carried away, but still, I hope you'll refrain from interacting too much with Zong Zijin."

"He is my senior brother. If you really hurt him, the sect would struggle to explain, given he's highly esteemed there. Our friendship is important, but the sect's interests come first."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled and replied: "Okay, for your sake, as long as he doesn't go too far, I'll ignore him with diplomatic tolerance. But he plans to accompany you for protection at noon; I have no way to refuse. If he decides to act recklessly in public view, I can't promise restraint."
