Chapter 1861 - 1864: Purely Kind People Can Never Be Leaders

In an instant, the seductive purple seated in Shen Qiang's embrace and Pan Zheng sitting opposite him both froze momentarily. Subsequently, purple looked surprised but delighted, her expression suggesting she wanted to laugh but couldn't, as beautiful as a blooming rose, fragrant! Gorgeous! Yet not at its peak.After a brief silence, Pan Zheng's eyes similarly glowed bright, his gaze intense, subtly excited yet with a sinister smile, "It's good for young people to be confident, but being overly confident means arrogance, and arrogance often leads to recklessness, which can result in destruction."

Shen Qiang laughed, "If you want to lecture me, don't waste your time. Proving I'm arrogant is simple, just compete in Dan Fighting with me; the loser will work for the winner for free for ten years. That's fair."

"I'm the leader of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, one of the top ten alchemists nowadays. Do you think I would compete in Dan Fighting with someone like you?" Pan Zheng laughed.

Shen Qiang said, "The reason you're not willing to compete in Dan Fighting with me is because you know you'd lose. Otherwise, there's no need for me to be in the Thirty-two Skillful Hands. Just compete directly, wouldn't winning a ten-year slave be better?"

Hearing this, purple's eyes suddenly brightened.

But Pan Zheng's gaze turned cold.

"Shen Qiang, you're really arrogant. Among everyone in the alchemist circle, you're the first to talk to me, Pan Zheng, in this way."

Shen Qiang chuckled lightly, "Firstly, I can do what the Thirty-two Skillful Hands can. If you're talking about commanding at the Pill Conference, it's simple, I've already achieved that, so the title of Thirty-two Skillful Hands is meaningless to me."

Pan Zheng was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I can offer you something you can't get."

Shen Qiang smiled, "I'll give you thirty seconds to explain."

Upon hearing this, Pan Zheng smiled and said, "It seems Mr. Shen is straightforward, so I'll get to the point. After joining the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, I can not only put you on the top hundred alchemist list but also offer some unexpected benefits, such as... winning the championship, runner-up, or just being a judge at the Pill Conference."

Shen Qiang frowned, then laughed, "Are you saying you can decide the judges' rankings at the Pill Conference?"

"Pretty much!" Pan Zheng smiled.

Shen Qiang appeared surprised, his eyes showing some repulsion, and said, "Oh? That's really disappointing, the Pill Conference's judging results can be controlled by you? It seems you're more powerful than Medicine King Valley?"

"Without manipulation, it wouldn't be called operation." Pan Zheng smiled and said, "Rather, it's called letting nature take its course! You, Shen Qiang, as the boss of Heshenghe, the King of Demons, don't you understand this reasoning?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled, "Good, good, impressive, I understand your point. The conversation is over, this is the end, you may leave."

In an instant, purple's eyes sparkled once more.

Pan Zheng was stunned, "Shen Qiang, what do you mean by this?"

"I don't have a habit of teaming up with idiots." Shen Qiang said calmly, "Whether self-righteous idiots or those who think they control everything, of course, you can understand this as referring to you."

Pan Zheng frowned and said, "Shen Qiang, have you really thought it through? You should know if you refuse me, your Pill Conference entry won't even make it to the top eight tomorrow."

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Like you, I am competitive, but as a doctor, I'm more aware of one thing: concerning the patient is far more important than winning prizes, so there's no need for further discussion, you're not welcome here, you may leave."

Hearing this, Pan Zheng was silent for a full five seconds, then stood up and smiled, "Regrettably, this conversation seems a bit unpleasant. However, I still hope you seriously consider my proposal, effective until the official judging starts tomorrow."

"No need." Shen Qiang raised his eyebrow calmly.

Pan Zheng smiled and said, "It's good for young people to be determined and daring, but it's equally important to be practical. If you suffer losses, crying afterward is too late."

Shen Qiang laughed, raising an eyebrow and looking at Pan Zheng as he stood up, "You may be skilled at politics, but you've mistaken me for someone else because I'm not like you. Compared to being threatened, usually, I prefer to threaten others."

Upon hearing this, Pan Zheng laughed, "Oh, it seems negotiation has broken down. That's really disappointing."

Shen Qiang didn't utter a word, simply gestured with his finger, and purple immediately stood up, coldly saying, "Mr. Pan, you should leave."

Pan Zheng smiled, nodded, then suddenly looked at purple and said, "What's your name? I feel a close connection with you."

"You don't have the right to know." Purple raised her eyebrows and said, "Please!"

Pan Zheng's eyes showed a trace of disappointment, but he smiled slightly before turning to leave.

As he walked away, the curvy seductive purple turned back around, her face blushing as she saw Shen Qiang still sitting there drinking tea, and then said, "Shen Qiang, did you see that? I told you long ago, he's a scoundrel. Just think, he even wants to control the Pill Conference, threatening even you; what else can't he do?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyun standing nearby exploded, "What? That guy with glasses dared to threaten Shen Qiang?"

Shushing!

Shen Qiang raised a finger, indicating Ye Guyun should be quiet.

But she was displeased, came over and pressed Shen Qiang's shoulder, "Shen Qiang, you're too polite to them. These bastards should be killed, then let's see who dares mess with us again."

"And then?" Shen Qiang raised his eyebrow saying, "Killing is easy; if necessary, I can wipe out everyone who comes here, but then what? I and Heshenghe would become representatives of evil, cultivators would unite to battle us nonstop, fighting and killing constantly, is that fun?"

Hearing this, Ye Guyun fell silent.

At this point, guests had left, and there weren't many people in the afternoon. Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu came over and said, "Truly smart people find ways within the rules to get everything they want, I think Pan Zheng belongs to this category."

"A cunning approach, constantly testing boundaries, yet leaving people powerless." Shen Qiang said, "This guy seems deeper than Bianyi, clever, but not as ruthless as Bianyi."

Ke Bizhu hesitated with surprise, then said, "I think Bianyi is quite nice."

Shen Qiang laughed, and just then, seductive purple walked to Shen Qiang's side, earnestly saying, "Shen Qiang, you've seen what kind of person he is now, help me kill him!"

Ye Guyun immediately raised his hand, "I agree!"

But Shen Qiang, leaning against the chair, shook his head and laughed, "Not in a position to handle this; if Pan Zheng doesn't seek profit for Thirty-two Skillful Hands, then he truly is a scumbag. So I think he's good, and you need to understand, truly kind people can never be leaders."

"So, unless there's incontrovertible evidence of his crimes before me, I won't kill him!" Shen Qiang said seriously.
