Chapter 78: Jiang Nan-Nan’s Reward

Tang Ya noticed Jiang Nan-Nan giving her a strange look, so she quickly pushed Qianran away.

"You little rascal, you didn't call us all here just to try that, did you?" Tang Ya said, eyeing Qianran suspiciously after pushing him away.

"Ahem. Well, let's leave Dong'er and Xiao Xiao out of it."

"I could help you with Nan-Nan," Tang Ya said, rolling her eyes at him.

Recently, Jiang Nan-Nan had been teasing her whenever she went out with Qianran for some private time. If Nan-Nan experienced it herself, maybe she'd stop teasing her.

"How about all of us together then?" Qianran's eyes lit up. Being surrounded by the girls would truly be living the dream.

"You really have some wild ideas. At least not right now—Nan-Nan's still a first-timer," Tang Ya said, blushing but neither agreeing nor rejecting the idea.

"True enough."

Qianran nodded, clearly pleased.

Judging by Tang Ya's attitude, maybe it'd be possible next time.

After all, they were good friends, so it wouldn't be too awkward between them.

"What are you two whispering about?" Jiang Nan-Nan asked, noticing the mischievous glint in Tang Ya and Qianran's eyes as they looked her way.

Standing beside Qianran, she started worrying about her mother, who was still in the Xuanshui Sect. Even though Qianran had assured her he'd taken care of it, she couldn't help but worry.

Taking someone from the Xuanshui Sect wasn't exactly easy.

Seeing Jiang Nan-Nan's worried expression, Qianran quickly guessed what was on her mind and said, "Don't worry. Your mother has already been rescued. We'll make arrangements for her to live here soon." Qianran explained.

Qianrenxue's spiritual power far exceeded that of a Title Douluo, so sneaking into the Xuanshui Sect was easy, without anyone noticing her.

Although getting someone out was a bit troublesome, it was no problem for Qianrenxue.

Currently, Qianrenxue was likely tracking down the Holy Spirit Cult in the Sun Moon Empire.

With her abilities, Qianrenxue's position in the Holy Spirit Cult would likely be no less than that of Ye Xishui.

If Qianrenxue took control of the Holy Spirit Cult, it would be impressive. Although it was weaker than the Spirit Hall of the past, the Holy Spirit Cult still had many powerful members. With Qianrenxue's capabilities, she might even rebuild an organization rivaling the Spirit Hall from a thousand years ago.

It did feel a bit odd, though, for a former Angel God to become the leader of an evil cult.

"Really?"

Jiang Nan-Nan grabbed Qianran's hand, overwhelmed with excitement. Tang Ya was also thrilled for her.

"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Qianran said with a smile, tapping Jiang Nan-Nan's nose.

He'd also received news recently that Xu Sanshi had been taken away by the Xuanshui Sect. Initially, Qianran considered intercepting Xu Sanshi on the way to take him out, but he decided to let it go. Xu Sanshi leaving Shrek Academy meant he'd be out of Qianran's way.

If needed, Qianran could deal with Xu Sanshi later.

Apparently, Xu Sanshi wanted to join the Holy Spirit Cult. Well, as long as he didn't get caught by Qianran's beloved Qianrenxue, he'd be fine.

After all, Qianrenxue was now a high-ranking member of the cult.

The thought amused Qianran.

If Xu Sanshi crossed his path, he'd make sure Xu Sanshi learned some lessons.

"Qianran, you're amazing," Jiang Nan-Nan looked at Qianran with admiration, feeling even more in love. She hadn't expected him to have the power to reach into the Xuanshui Sect and rescue someone.

Qianran was probably a young master of a force even stronger than the Xuanshui Sect. And his status there was likely high.

Jiang Nan-Nan didn't particularly care about her future man's status, but who would mind if it were higher?

Even Dean Xian Lin'er had hesitated when she heard about Jiang Nan-Nan's mother's situation at the Xuanshui Sect, yet Qianran had handled it so discreetly.

"Of course. Who do you think your man is?"

Qianran enjoyed the looks of admiration from Jiang Nan-Nan and Tang Ya.

Sometimes, when Tang Ya and Wang Dong'er knelt before him, looking up at him with those glistening eyes, they really knew how to capture a man's heart.

"If you'd like more information about your mother, you'll have to reward me properly," Qianran said with a smirk, eyeing Jiang Nan-Nan's beautiful figure. And what kind of reward? Well, now that he and Jiang Nan-Nan were officially together, there were some things they could certainly do.

"Pervert."

Jiang Nan-Nan scoffed, her cheeks flushed as she pulled Tang Ya and dashed into the villa.

Of course, she took Qianran's words to heart.

With her constant worry for her mother's safety, she'd been on edge. Now, with Qianran's confirmation, she felt completely at ease. Qianran had helped her so much that she indeed wanted to repay him in some way.

She'd often seen Qianran secretly sneaking away with Tang Ya.

Once, they'd even gone into the woods.

Now that she was with Qianran too, she didn't need to hold back. Xu Sanshi, who'd pursued her for years without success, was nothing compared to what she was ready to give Qianran.

Jiang Nan-Nan's life had been full of hardships, and she feared losing everything she had now, so she was eager to solidify her relationship with Qianran.

As Tang Ya and Jiang Nan-Nan entered the house, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er had already taken the best rooms for themselves.

Wang Dong'er had picked the room closest to the stairs.

This way, she'd know exactly which room Qianran went into if he came upstairs. And if he spent too much time in Tang Ya's or the others' rooms and neglected her…

The four girls were already aware of each other through Qianran.

Even though they had their own thoughts, they were all incredibly warm toward each other, with none willing to be outshone by the others.

The atmosphere felt harmonious.

Still, there was a certain tension in the air.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nan-Nan, being seniors, would take some time to fully blend in with Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao.

"Thank goodness," Qianran thought, relieved that there was no conflict among the four.

If they started fighting, it would be a challenge deciding who to support. Mishandling it would damage their relationships.

"Go ahead and choose your rooms. Here are the villa keys—one for each of you. Feel free to come by whenever you'd like." Qianran had already made several copies and handed one to each of them.

"Qianran, your villa is truly luxurious," Jiang Nan-Nan said, awestruck by the interior. Even the Xuanshui Sect wasn't this lavish. The sect would rather spend money on cultivation tools like soul bones and soul devices than on living luxuriously.

Qianran, however, was different. To him, life was meant for enjoyment, and cultivating was merely a means to achieve a better quality of life.

"This is nothing. I plan to plant trees around the property and even make some renovations to the villa," Qianran said with a smile. With trees around, he could enjoy even more privacy.

While the place was secluded, it was still close to Shrek Academy, so people would occasionally pass by.
