It did not matter what others said. What mattered to Long Qingfeng was Wang Ruyi's attitude. Wang Ruyi knew that Long Qingfeng was rather proud and paid close attention to this aspect.
Every so often, Long Qingfeng would help the Wang Family with certain tasks, such as escorting goods, dealing with a Sixth Order Demon Beast threatening the safety of the Wang Family's in-laws or strongholds, or suppressing Heretical Cultivators causing trouble.
He did so to accumulate Merit Points and exchange them for Cultivation Resources, rather than accepting handouts from the Wang Family.
Wang Ruyi did not stop him, silently staying by Long Qingfeng's side. The two were inseparable. Even though the Wang Family had not publicly announced their relationship, anyone with eyes could tell what they were.
The Green-Shirted Youth gave an awkward smile and said nothing more. This was not the first time Wang Ruyi had defended Long Qingfeng.
"Let's end the gathering here! Daoist Liu, we still have matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave first."
After saying this, Wang Ruyi left with Long Qingfeng.
"I really can't understand how Fairy Wang took a fancy to Daoist Long. Daoist Long's strength is indeed not weak, but in terms of background and aptitude, how can he compare with Daoist Liu?"
The Green-Shirted Youth complained.
"Could Daoist Long be an illegitimate son of the Dragon Clan? Great strength alone might not win Fairy Wang's favor. In terms of strength, can Daoist Long surpass Qingyu Zhenjun?"
someone speculated.
Qingyu Zhenjun was a Body Integration Cultivator. He possessed a Wood-Attribute Heavenly Spirit Root and was also one of Wang Ruyi's suitors. He had made a name for himself early, gaining some fame by killing multiple Void Refinement Stage Alien Race members during the Racial War.
