Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 2060 - 2063: The Brightest Rising Star

"These two beauties, one is the young master of Medicine King Valley, the absolutely stunning fairy Qin Yurou, and the other is Pan Meiqing, the daughter of the leader of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Pan Zheng. Behind both of them stand the two most pinnacle forces of alchemists in the cultivation world today. Therefore, whether in terms of etiquette or presentation, we must do our utmost to ensure everything is perfect, and absolutely must not let the cultivation world laugh at us."At the front building of the Heshenghe Mountain Villa, on the terrace, the Great Elder Fu Bo was instructing the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing under the morning sun.

"Moreover, attention should also be paid to the Four Small Danqing group. They've formed the Pill Alliance, and it's associated with Heshenghe. Those who don't understand the relationship might instinctively think this alliance belongs to Shen Qiang, but in reality, the person truly holding the reins of power in the alliance is none other than Yu Xinghuo."

"So in terms of treating him, it has to be on par with the Valley Master and the leader Pan Zheng, basically equal, but just slightly below those two. This measure must be grasped well."

Upon hearing this, the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing's eyes lit up, and she said, "Fu Bo, I've consulted some ceremonial officials on these matters, so now I have two plans. The first plan is to seat them together, with the Medicine King Valley Master Qin Yongquan as the main guest, Pan Zheng as the second, and Yu Xinghuo as the third."

Fu Bo frowned and said, "That's not suitable. If these three sit together, Pan Zheng and Qin Yongquan might bicker, and then Yu Xinghuo would be neglected."

"The second plan is to have the three of them seated separately, all as main guests," said the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing.

After a brief silence, with a slight frown, Fu Bo said, "This plan works, it will save a lot of trouble, and they won't feel neglected."

"I understand now," said the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing. "But we haven't finalized the choice of accompanying guests, as our villa is home to demons, I'm worried they won't blend well with the cultivators."

Hearing this, the Great Elder Fu Bo immediately said, "This matter must be handled cautiously. Since the birth of cultivators, the divide between Dao and demons has always been labeled as truth. Arranging demons to be accompanying guests is absolutely out of the question, it would make those cultivators turn hostile!"

"And even if they don't turn hostile, if word of this gets out, it will cause many incidents, since Heshenghe is not without cultivators. Arranging demons as companions, in some sense, is also disrespectful."

Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing said, "Then it can only be people from Qingyun Sword Pavilion, but now that Qingyun Sword Pavilion is newly established, their hearts are uneasy. If they accompany the guests, any careless remark might provoke them to draw their swords."

The Great Elder Fu Bo frowned and said, "Only their people can accompany. Zuo Lianghao is too young, lacks presence, and can't hold the scene, not experienced enough. Bianyi is a talent and can accompany the main guest. Bai Jiao and Xu Nan are proper young ladies, and sufficient to accompany the female guests."

"But otherwise, we are severely short of manpower. Qingyun Sword Pavilion must send people. Otherwise, the scene will turn into chaos, and Heshenghe and Shen Qiang would lose face. Then the cultivation world would say that Shen Qiang can only make pills, and his subordinates are all useless, unable to handle anything well."

Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing said, "I understand, but I've discussed this with Kang Luoying. She said that the elders of Qingyun Sword Pavilion and her uncles do not wish to participate in these events. If forced, they will come, but with reluctance, no matter how courteous they speak, they won't host well."

Hearing this, the Great Elder Fu Bo frowned slightly, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Bring some trusted individuals, prepare the carriage, contact Shen Qiang, he must go to Qingyun Sword Pavilion himself and make things clear to those people."

"Shen Qiang going in person?" Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing was surprised, "Why not just make a call..."

"A call won't do. A tree fears being skinned, a person fears meeting face to face. By phone, all you'll get are their evasions and insincere words. Besides, Qingyun Sword Pavilion is now Shen Qiang's, yet he hasn't been there. The people of Qingyun Sword Pavilion still think of it as before, so deep down, they feel Shen Qiang can't control them from afar."

The Great Elder Fu Bo said, "Therefore, Shen Qiang must go in person. We can't be afraid of the trouble. Shen Qiang now is not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. When handling matters at home, one can be casual, but the whole cultivation world is watching. If he cannot demonstrate the demeanor and ability expected of a prominent sect, he will be mocked."

Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing said, "I understand, then I'll arrange it now."

"Don't tell Kang Luoying that Shen Qiang is going," the Great Elder Fu Bo said. "That child is straightforward, she will tell the people of Qingyun Sword Pavilion, and then the elders of Qingyun Sword Pavilion might claim they are closing off to cultivate or pretend to be sick, and we'll discuss once they arrive."

"I understand, Fu Bo, then I'll notify Ye Guyun and Ke Bizhu now."

Watching the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, Fu Bo smiled and said, "Go. If Shen Qiang is reluctant, tell him that unless he sits in the master seat of Qingyun Sword Pavilion, those in Qingyun Sword Pavilion will never truly regard him as the real Master of the Pavilion."

"Hmm, he will understand."

With that, the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing got up and quickly left.

Watching her increasingly mature and capable figure, the Crane Spirit and Black Bear Spirit bringing over tea looked on with great satisfaction.

"Shen Qiang surely is impressive. Previously, Chu Qing often threw tantrums and acted willfully, but now, beside Shen Qiang, she's competent, mature, and already capable of standing alone."

"Indeed, when faced with things she's not familiar with, she still seeks advice from others, and that is true growth."

Listening to them, the Tiger Demon Fu Bo said gravely, "Actually, she's under a lot of pressure. Shen Qiang now is no longer that foolish boy who was ridiculed everywhere. His every action is watched by cultivators and spoken of. Anything will be magnified infinitely."

"In the past, things could be done just adequately, and no one would say much, at most just mentioned his humble beginnings. But now it's different. As the Medicine King, if he can't even handle hosting guests, his reputation will plummet."

The Black Bear Spirit Xiong Zhenghui asked in puzzlement, "Is it that serious?"

The Tiger Demon Fu Bo said, "Even more serious than you think. Do you know the biggest difference between esteemed families and commoners? It's not entirely about the difference in ability, but in the details of etiquette. If he doesn't handle it well, Shen Qiang's success will only make other cultivators label him as a nouveau riche. Once this impression takes root in the cultivation world, it will be very difficult to change. Therefore, we must do everything possible to help Shen Qiang become the most brilliant new star in the cultivation world, rather than the most rustic nouveau riche."
