1609 Arrangement! (2) Wang Teng had managed to become a grandmaster for all three sub-disciplines in a short time. It was unbelievable. Back when he built the teleportation array, he finished the task along with a group of rune masters, so they didn’t know he had already become a grandmaster. However, they knew that the hero wouldn’t lie to them. There was no point. It had to be true! For a moment, no one knew what to say. They were in a daze. Han Ping gave a long sigh after some time and exclaimed, “You’re quite remarkable!” “No wonder you dared to promise that our people could enter the Secondary Career Alliance. It will truly be easier with your connections,” Wu Xingyun said with a shimmering gaze. “I will contact the alliance. You can go ahead and ask the prospects amongst our people to visit planet Yuming soon,” Wang Teng said. “Yes!” Wu Xingyun nodded. “As for the difference between the earth and the greater universe, we can get our people to finish a few simple missions first and learn along the way. This will help them to grow faster and better integrate into the Secondary Career Alliance,” the hero said after some thought. “This is a good idea. I think they’ll be delighted to have such an opportunity,” Wu Xingyun said. After handling some details, Wang Teng looked at Han Ping again and said, “My dan mastery has reached the grandmaster level, so I can help you to solve your hidden health risks.” The expert had been through too many battles on Earth. Due to Earth’s medical technology limitations in the past, he left many hidden injuries untreated, which greatly shortened his lifespan. He almost died during the sea beasts riot. Wang Teng managed to save him in time, but there were still left over health issues. Based on the hero’s estimates, he could help the senior once he attained the grandmaster level. Since this was already achieved, it was time to properly lend a hand. “Really?” Han Ping’s eyes lit up. He was at the planetary stage and his lifespan was elongated, but sequelae remained, affecting his cultivation greatly; he could feel their effects all the time. His body would hurt whenever he cultivated; making progress was extremely difficult. Taking the health issues out of the way, his cultivation speed would be much faster and his potential would also be higher. The celestial stage would be his limit if things didn’t change. “Of course.” Wang Teng nodded. “I’ll refine a pill after I’ve completed all the pressing matters.” “Good! Good!” Han Ping was excited. The man thought that his life would remain the same, yet he managed to advance to the planetary stage. Now, even his health risks could be cured. This equated to having greater heights to aspire to. All this was made possible because of Wang Teng! “Wang Teng… I don’t know how to thank you.” The expert stuttered a little. “It’s nothing. Don’t mention it,” the hero replied. “It might be nothing to you, but you’re giving me a new lease on life,” the expert said in earnest. “All right, this is a good thing. You should be happy.” Hong Tianshi laughed. “Yes, this is a happy occasion.” Han Ping nodded fervently. Wang Teng took a sip of his tea and changed the topic, “Oh right, did you notice anything abnormal about the martial warriors from other countries?” “Nope. They know they can only rely on you so they have been obedient.” “What’s more, you’re now an earl of the Great Qian Empire. The people on Earth know this, no one would dare have any other thoughts.” “Two days ago, they reached out to us and said they wanted to have a chat with you when you returned,” Wu Xingyun replied with a smile. “That’s good. We were all born on Earth, so we should cooperate and help each other,” the hero replied calmly. Wu Xingyun and the others were startled. The new earl’s tone was calm, but they knew he would be ruthless if anyone dared to play tricks. Even they felt oppressed by the young hero’s aura at the moment. All of them knew it was a gravitas compounded with his status and position. Wang Teng was the overlord of multiple galaxies. He held the fate of countless people in his hands. After a long chat, Wu Xingyun, Han Ping, and the others finally left the manor with smiles on their faces. They went to settle their own matters. Being among the Earth’s leaders, they had many things to oversee. Their young overlord had brought back many benefits after his status rose. It was natural that the number of tasks to handle had increased. Fortunately, all those things were beneficial to their planet, so they happily got busy. Once the elders left, Wu Xingyun sighed and rubbed his forehead. He felt a little tired. He would rather cultivate, instead taking care of those activities. Troublesome! … At night. A lively banquet was in full swing at the Zhuang family manor. As soon as the higher ups on planet Yuming and representatives from the elite families heard about the occasion, they all clamored to get an invitation from Zhuang Weize. Everyone knew that Wang Teng’s status had risen. He was now an earl of the empire. Besides that, they also valued his extraordinary potential. The hero’s performance during the League of Talents was known to everyone. Everyone felt that the young earl had a bright future. If they didn’t befriend him now, when would they get another chance? The banquet was extremely lively. Everyone was engaging in conversations and beautiful servants shuttled back and forth amongst the crowd, serving delicious wine and delicacies to the visitors. This didn’t draw the guests’ attention. Everyone was craning their necks, being attentive to the entrance. Even the host, Zhuang Weize, had his eyes glued to the main door, anticipating the appearance of that figure. “Father, it’s rare to see you this anxious,” said a young lady of around seventeen years of age. She covered her mouth and chuckled. “What do you know? Our earl is not an ordinary warrior,” the host replied angrily. “I got sick of hearing his achievements non stop in the past few days.” His daughter rolled her eyes. “Then you should know how amazing his potential is.” Zhuang Weize glanced around him and whispered, “Look at the people around you. All of them are like wolves who caught the scent of meat. How aggressive is their stance to get close to the hero.” “Your analogy is on point.” The young lady looked around and smiled. “You need to understand my effort. I brought you out so you can grab this opportunity,” said the host, trying his best to persuade the young lady. He didn’t have his daughter attend the previous event because Wang Teng was just a baron. His position wasn’t stable at the time, and his future was uncertain. Things were different now. The young fellow had risen in noble status and entered the Stargot onto the Star Rankings. Not even the Parkers could do anything to him now. The young lady shook her head. “No, I have someone I like.” “Why are you so stubborn? Your mother spoiled you.” Zhuang Weize felt helpless. He glanced at the young lady and continued, “You kept saying that you have someone you like but you never tell me who it is. How do I know if you’re lying? “Nevermind, let’s not talk about this now; I don’t care if you like someone else. Since you’re here, try to interact with Wang Teng. “How can any other man be compared to him?” The young lady wasn’t convinced. “I came because my mom asked me to. I’ll leave once I’ve seen him. I wouldn’t be here if you hadn’t begged my mom to ask me to come.” “You little rascal!” The host was infuriated. He expected better from her. The chance was right in front of her, but she didn’t know how to treasure it. Earl Wang Teng had a fiancée, but he was an earl; he wouldn’t settle with just one woman. Being also a man, he knew how his kind were. The young lady wasn’t afraid of her father. She stuck out her tongue and drank her cup of fruit juice nonchalantly. She didn’t care about the banquet, at all. A voice announced by the entrance, “Earl Wang Teng has arrived!” The entire hall went quiet. Then, everyone immediately turned to look and saw a young man with black hair striding confidently with his head up high.
