Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, they suddenly became very curious about what kind of person Wang Teng’s fiancee was. What kind of peerless beauty could lead this prodigy from the Stellar Academies into the ”grave” of marriage?
Wang Teng felt a bit awkward, lie glanced at Hengzang Bo and the others smiling at him, feeling somewhat powerless.
The elders of the five major families were pressuring him. Knowing that his relationship with Yizang Xinnuo and the others was fairly good, they openly brought up this matter, thinking that he couldn’t bear to directly refuse lest he hurt the hearts of Yizang Xinnuo and the others.
Yet, receiving beautiful women as gifts was indeed a good thing, so he didn’t feel so resistant deep down.
They were indeed a bunch of old foxes!
They found his weakness. He was a softhearted person after all.
Yizang Xinnuo seemed to sense Wang Teng’s dilemma and spoke with a smile, “Elders, Wang Teng is already a good friend to us. He has helped us a lot. Please don’t tease him like this. Let us handle our affairs.”
Yizang Zhao smiled inwardly, feeling pleased with Yizang Xinnuo’s tactfulness. She nodded and said, “Of course, we old folks are just being nosy. Wang Teng, please don’t take offense!”
“Please don’t tease me, seniors,” Wang Teng sighed with relief, shooting a grateful glance at Yizang Xinnuo. lie shook his head wryly.
Seeing his reaction, the others couldn’t help but find it amusing. They didn’t expect that this young genius, who even dared to confront eternal-stage figures, would feel awkward about such matters.
They felt like they had discovered Wang Teng’s weakness and couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
Having a weakness was not a bad thing!
Their approach was correct. They should let Yizang Xinnuo and the others continue to interact with him.
“Furthermore, as a token of gratitude for your assistance to our Five Burial Stars, we’ve decided to open the treasure vault of the Five Burial Stars and allow you to choose three treasures.” Hengzang Bo said.
“Let me choose three treasures!” Wang Teng was taken aback, never expecting such a generous offer.
Previously, he had agreed with the five major families that helping Hengzang Mo and the others return safely from the Five Burial Ancestral Land would earn him half a Five Burial Token and 100 Chaos Coins, all of which the family’s elders had already fulfilled.
Now, they were offering him treasures as well. It seemed like the five major families thought their previous rewards weren’t enough.
It appeared that after the previous battle, the level of importance the families placed on him exceeded his expectations.
“Wang Teng, the five major families are generous, trying to win you over with beautiful women and treasures,” Round Ball remarked.
“I can’t help it, I’m just too outstanding,” Wang Teng shook his head, feeling deeply moved, thinking to himself, “But of course, I’ll accept such good fortune.”
Round Ball:…
“How can 1 accept this!” Wang Teng ignored it and looked at Hengzang Bo and the other elders, feeling a bit embarrassed. “I haven’t really done much. As the Five Burial Stars councilor, helping you is part of my duty.”
“Councilor Wang Teng’s humility is truly touching, but please don’t refuse. This is our heartfelt gesture. Please come with us,” Hengzang Bo and the others stood up and said.
“Oh, you’re too kind, really too kind. But since you all insist, there’s a saying that one should never refuse the kindness of elders, so I’ll graciously accept.” Wang Teng also rose to his feet, smiling warmly.
“Hypocrite!” Hengzang Mo and the others grumbled silently.
Even Yizang Xinnuo couldn’t help but find it amusing. They didn’t expect Wang Teng to act like this.
On the other hand, the elders were delighted. Wang Teng’s willingness to accept their gift indicated a desire for an amicable relationship with the five major families. It was an ideal outcome for them.
“I wonder what treasures the families possess?” Round Ball asked curiously.
“You’ll see soon enough. Keep an eye out, and if you spot anything remarkable, be sure to let me know,” Wang Teng replied eagerly, promptly enlisting Round Ball’s help.
“Sure thing, count on me.” Round Ball chuckled in response.
Soon after, the group, accompanied by Wang Teng, flew towards the central area where the core buildings of the five major families were located.
With their speed, they reached their destination swiftly.
Passing through clusters of buildings, they arrived at a grand castle-like structure at the heart of it all and entered it directly.
There were no guards within the castle, but as Wang Teng scanned the surroundings, he noticed several powerful energy clusters, indicating the presence of at least a few universe-stage martial warriors.
His eyes flickered slightly, surprised by the five major families’ resources. It seemed they hadn’t deployed all their universe-stage martial warriors in the previous battle.
Meanwhile, Hengzang Bo and the others observed Wang Teng discreetly. Seeing him pause briefly at various points as he scanned the area, they couldn’t help but marvel. Wang Teng was no ordinary individual. He could even discern the hiding places of universe-stage martial warriors.
His ability to defeat a universe-stage martial warrior wasn’t a mere chance!
With a sweeping gesture, Hengzang Bo pushed open a massive, imposing door with a resounding boom, then gestured for Wang Teng to enter.
Wang Teng nodded and followed them through the door. Inside, a dazzling array of treasures met his eyes, each radiating a brilliance that dazzled the senses..
