Because right below the mixed-race beauty Nalan Tianyu's reply supporting Shen Qiang, there have been dozens of comments.

"Girl, you look quite presentable, but as soon as there's a post about Shen Qiang, you jump in to defend him. What did he offer you in return?"

"Obviously, you're a little bitch who took Shen Qiang's benefits, otherwise, why would you rush out to lick his boots?"

"Haha, no need to ask, clearly you're a paid Navy hired by Shen Qiang."

Further down, the replies become increasingly offensive one after another. Moreover, Shen Qiang notices the time these replies were posted; almost all of them appeared five to eight seconds after Nalan Tianyu made her statement.

Shen Qiang is not foolish; given this situation, it's easy to discern that these people must be incessantly refreshing, waiting to see who replied and what was said before making a prompt response.

This inexplicably causes Shen Qiang to feel somewhat angry.

Since entering the Cultivation World, Shen Qiang has been advancing amidst skepticism.

He's long been accustomed to people gossiping about him online.

So even if he's aware that the poster is deliberately targeting him, Shen Qiang doesn't take it to heart, because after all, popularity comes with criticism, especially for him, not only being the Dragon Group's only security advisor but also the boss of Heshenghe.

Becoming a legend from scratch inevitably draws some resentment.

For instance, previously, the thirty-two so-called alchemist masters invited to the Medicine King Valley Elixir Pills Conference, were once referred to as the Thirty-two Skillful Hands in the Cultivation World, but this year Shen Qiang got added, meaning unless they trample Shen Qiang into dust.

After the Elixir Pills Conference, Shen Qiang will undoubtedly enjoy benefits in the alchemist field not inferior to theirs.

This implies that income originally meant for them would instead flow into Shen Qiang's pocket.

Where there's profit, there's conflict, an unchanging fact from ancient times to the present.

From small market stalls to grand dynastic struggles, as long as there's a clash of interest, you can never expect peace.

Shen Qiang understands this.

So even if there are countless cultivators slandering him online, Shen Qiang has never truly been angry.

Because it proves they have no other solutions, if they were truly capable enough to face Shen Qiang directly and compete, they wouldn't need to make useless comments online.

Yet Shen Qiang never anticipated this.

That Nalan Tianyu merely stepped forward to say a fair word, and she was attacked as a result.

What's this?

This is simply online harassment, bullying!

Shen Qiang continues reading.

The fifth message is from Baihua Jade Girl, her viewpoint almost identical to Nalan Tianyu's.

But her speech was unharmed and went uncommented on, let alone attacked.

After all, Baihua Jade Girl Qian Dai is a goddess-level figure in the Cultivation World, and after she spoke, close to a hundred youths unanimously agreed with her.

Even those who insulted Nalan Tianyu dared not appear under Qian Dai's comments, because clearly if they dare say one word against Qian Dai, they'd inevitably face countless passionate youths' backlash.

This situation is practically identical to the real world Cultivation World.

Once knowing Baihua Palace is not to be trifled with, they choose silence, thinking Nalan Tianyu is an easy target, and not knowing who she is, they fear nothing.

Shen Qiang continues reading, discovering on the second page, Nalan Tianyu speaks again.

"Don't think I can't see that you're banding together to stop Shen Qiang from attending the Elixir Pills conference, but you'll be disappointed, Shen Qiang's strength is beyond your understanding."

Upon Nalan Tianyu saying this, sure enough, those attacking her accounts appeared again.

Still with insults.

This momentarily makes Shen Qiang quite angry.

As someone who can say they already have some prominence in the Cultivation World, being doubted by others is one thing, but then friends speaking up being verbally abused to death is infuriating.

Continuing ahead.

That girl ID standing under the cherry blossom tree, partially hiding her face with a mask, also spoke up for Shen Qiang, only to be cursed to the heavens.

The more Shen Qiang reads, the more furious he becomes.

He immediately logs into his account and opts for gifting, leaving a message: "Want to show off cursing people online, come find me, picking on girls is no skill, I'm Shen Qiang, if unprovoked, stand out, and if I can't defeat you, I'll write my name backward."

After finishing this, Shen Qiang takes out his phone, flips through the contact list; the masked girl under the cherry blossom tree, Shen Qiang doesn't know who she is or how to contact her.

But Nalan Tianyu's phone number quietly resides in the contact list.

Meanwhile.

In Shanghai.

In a pure white uniform, the tall, graceful Nalan Tianyu sits sideways on a chair in the Dragon Group Demon Taming Safety Department, her long legs crossed, not only alluring in stature, but her white boots accentuate her legs' incredible length.

Her right elbow rests on the chair's arm, her jade hand against her fragrant cheek, her dashing military cap adding an unexplainable touch of arrogance to her beautiful face.

Especially her flawless pretty face, azure eyes, and delicately upturned nose exude a charming beauty.

"Chief, those bastards are so annoying, boldly ganging up to curse people thinks we have nobody, why don't I call on all the demons in the Taming Department to log onto the forum and curse them harshly back!"

Seated in the chair, Nalan Tianyu's pink cherry lips curve into a slight smile, calmly saying: "No need, the Thirty-two Skillful Hands have been renowned for years, they've become accustomed to being the largest under Medicine King Valley, so once Shen Qiang attends the Elixir Pills conference, people will doubtlessly talk about thirty-three skillful hands, which is the last thing they want, so some overreaction is normal."

"But it's too much!" The twin-tailed girl protested.

At this moment, the phone beside Nalan Tianyu suddenly rings.

The twin-tailed girl freezes, then observes Nalan Tianyu picking up the phone, her pretty face suddenly turns rosy, the formerly poised and cold posture becomes uneasy.

"He's calling?" The twin-tailed girl exclaimed joyfully.

Nalan Tianyu nervously nods.

"Hurry and answer, Chief!" The twin-tailed girl urged.

Nalan Tianyu takes a deep breath and presses the answer button.

"Hello, is this Nalan Tianyu? It's me, Shen Qiang. I was just online and saw you advocating for me facing attacks from some anonymous accounts, and I felt uneasy."

Hearing this, Nalan Tianyu's face inexplicably blushes, then she nervously and excitedly replies: "It's alright, I won't mind."

"But I mind, so rest assured, I won't let them have their way; those who attack my friends will have to pay a price..."
