1290 They Were Both Barons, Why Is w.a.n.g Teng So Outstanding?

Sullen faced, Lu Qing left the Tiger Strike Forces base with Swait and his men.

Brother Lu. Swait spoke carefully.

He could sense Lu Qings rage and knew he had caused a huge disaster.

Once youre back, go see the Third Prince and plead for forgiveness, Lu Qing said.

!!

But Swait wanted to say something.

Lu Qing glanced back, making him desist.

After taking a few steps, The former stopped all of a sudden and looked further ahead, his expression changing somewhat.

Swait felt that something was off. He too peered into the distance and his pupils shrank. The man exclaimed, Zhou Jingtian!

Why is he here!

Swait stared in disbelief, as though he had seen a ghost.

Lu Qing squinted his eyes and spoke slowly. Looks like the Second Prince overheard something and couldnt sit still.

He was sent by the Second Prince? Swait asked.

Why else do you think hes here? Lu Qing sneered.

The person arrived soon after. He was a tall young man with thick black hair draped over his shoulders; eyes sharp as knives as he grinned at Lu Qing. So, the Third Prince sent you here.

Hmph. Lu Qing scoffed. The Second Prince really is everywhere.

Dont misunderstand. The Second Prince only sent me to give his regards to Baron w.a.n.g Teng. After all, Baron w.a.n.g Teng had just made a contribution, and the Third Princes behavior is really disappointing. The Second Prince is worried that the Imperial Family would be disgraced by his actions; this is just to clean up the Third Princes mess. Zhou Jingtian chuckled.

You! Lu Qing felt irritated.

All right, Ill stop here. Im going to meet Baron w.a.n.g Teng. Zhou Jingtian waved a hand and walked into the Tiger Strike Forces premises.

Lu Qing stared at Zhou Jingtians back, feeling an extreme gloom. His mind was in a rollercoaster as he quickly left with Swait and his men.

Looks like the situation was worse than he had imagined.

Back in the Tiger Strike Forces reception hallw.a.n.g Teng sat on his chair with a blank expression.

Lu Qings aura just then was quite daunting.

He was a cosmos stage martial warrior, but the feeling he gave was something w.a.n.g Teng had never felt before.

This was the first time.

Lu Qing wasnt easy to deal with!

He didnt fear strong opponents, but he had to always be careful and be on guard against powerful poisonous snakes lurking in the shadows. This was truly annoying.

Colonel w.a.n.g Teng, you caused us a lot of trouble, General Cameron said.

I am also helpless on the matter. I didnt provoke them; they were the ones who started it, w.a.n.g Teng said, still playing innocent.

General Cameron was speechless.

You dont look like the one being provoked, at all. You were the one who bullied the Third Princes subordinates.

w.a.n.g Teng suddenly said, winking, To show my appreciation for the generals, I have decided to donate two hundred billion to our headquarters. This can be considered as a contribution to Defense Planet No. 29.

Cough. General Cameron cleared his throat and straightened his face. Dont worry, no one can hurt you while on this planet.

w.a.n.g Teng: _

At this timeHuo Qiya entered and whispered something to the young commander.

Oh? w.a.n.g Teng was surprised. He nodded and said, Bring him in.

Whats wrong? General Cameron asked.

The Second Prince sent someone over, w.a.n.g Teng replied.

The Second Prince! General Cameron looked at w.a.n.g Teng and smiled meaningfully. You are really popular.

I dont want to be involved in their squabbles. w.a.n.g Teng felt helpless.

I wont meddle in this; there are lots of matters that require my attention. Ill be taking my leave. General Cameron shook his head and left.

w.a.n.g Teng was at a loss for words.

General Cameron was really fast when it came to escaping. It was obvious he didnt want to involve himself with either the Second or the Third Prince.

In fact, if it wasnt for w.a.n.g Teng, he wouldnt have gone there.

Huo Qiya entered the reception hall with Zhou Jingtian shortly after.

w.a.n.g Teng sized up the visitor and was surprised. The fellow provoked a feeling similar to how he felt with Lu Qing, while radiating an overwhelming presence.

Hes not easy to deal with!

Baron w.a.n.g Teng, I have admired you for a long time! Zhou Jingtian cupped his fists in greeting.

Baron Zhou Jingtian, please be seated, the young commander said politely.

Zhou Jingtian was also a Baron!

Once he heard about his arrival, w.a.n.g Teng had Round Ball investigate and discovered that the fellow also had n.o.ble status.

Looks like the Princes subordinates are true hidden dragons. Anyone who makes an appearance is a Baron.

All their subordinates were powerful figures, not the run of the mill.

Zhou Jingtian sat down. Before his trip over, he had learned that w.a.n.g Teng was so proud that even the Third Princes subordinates were taught a lesson, not taking the prince seriously.

He felt that w.a.n.g Teng wasnt that easy to get along with.

Still, he felt a bit perplexed, seeing how w.a.n.g Teng behaved in his presence. w.a.n.g Teng was being modest and polite, completely unlike the rumors.

Please have some tea! w.a.n.g Teng waved a hand and a teapot with a faint fragrance appeared on the table. He then moved to serve him personally.

This is Zhou Jingtian was shocked when the scent reached him; his eyes were then fixated on the tea. He impatiently took a sip and his eyes gleamed. Sparkling Spirit Tea!

Wealthy fellow!

He was doubtful at first. Once he had a taste, he finally confirmed that it was indeed Sparkling Spirit Tea!

It wasnt an ordinary infusion. It was a precious spirit tea that could nourish the soul. It was expensive!

Such an item was in low supply, and ordinary folk couldnt buy it.

Even Zhou Jingtian could only drink it on occasion, when he visited the Second Princes residence.

He didnt expect to be able to drink it at w.a.n.g Tengs place!

Unbelievable!

I hope you dont mind the poor hospitality, w.a.n.g Teng said.

Zhou Jingtians mouth switched.

Poor hospitality?

Isnt he thinking too little of himself?

We are both Barons, why is w.a.n.g Teng so outstanding?

Zhou Jingtian suddenly wondered if he was a fake Baron.

I wonder, why is Baron Zhou Jingtian looking for me? w.a.n.g Teng asked.

Dont call me Baron; Im a few years older than you. If you dont mind, you can call me Brother Zhou, Zhou Jingtian said.

I guess Ill have to listen to you. w.a.n.g Teng nodded.

Haha, you really caused a huge mess. Many people on the Great Qian Planet have heard about it. Zhou Jingtian was very happy. He smiled and said, Thats the reason why the Second Prince sent me here to meet you.

Could it be that hes trying to rope me in? w.a.n.g Teng smiled.

That was the original intention. But judging by your appearance, I guess you wouldnt agree. There was a flash of light in his eyes.

The Second Prince couldnt afford someone who entertained guests with Sparkling Spirit Tea.

w.a.n.g Teng was an outlier.

Zhou Jingtian was silently praising his wit!

He saved some money for the Second Prince.

Brother Zhou is perceptive. w.a.n.g Teng had already thought about how to reject him, but the other party had already given up. This saved him some trouble.

As for why he gave up on the idea of roping him in, no one knew.

w.a.n.g Teng poured his visit another cup of the precious tea.

The tea was originally for himself. He had exhausted his spirit recently and was drinking more of that Sparkling Spirit Tea to recuperate.

Where did it come from?

w.a.n.g Teng didnt buy it. He found it among the treasures left behind by the Flaming River Universe Lord.

Being a universe stage martial warrior, that powerhouse knew how to enjoy life. But in the end, w.a.n.g Teng was the one who benefited from his stash.

He took it out to entertain Zhou Jingtian when he heard he was there.

The Second Prince had neither feud nor grievances with him. He didnt want another enemy, so he treated the visit politely.

Lu Qing would be fuming if he knew that w.a.n.g Teng had offered Sparkling Spirit Tea to Zhou Jingtian.

The difference in treatment was too obvious!

Zhou Jingtian felt overjoyed. He hurriedly grabbed the teacup and drank it sip by sip, as if afraid to finish it in one gulp.

If Brother Zhou likes it, I can give you some. w.a.n.g Teng shook his head and smiled when he noticed how the other was acting.

Really! Zhou Jingtians eyes lit up.

Of course. w.a.n.g Teng nodded. I still have a lot of Sparkling Spirit Tea and I cant finish it. I can certainly give you some.

Zhou Jingtian was speechless. He also felt that w.a.n.g Teng was a little mysterious.

How luxurious!

A stock of Sparkling Spirit Tea that cant be finished.

Whats with this w.a.n.g family? To actually have such wealth.

Regardless, the Second Prince couldnt afford someone like him.

Various thoughts flashed past Zhou Jingtians mind. He quickly said, You have my sincere thanks.

Youre welcome. w.a.n.g Teng smiled.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

Both of them chatted for a while. Knowing that the young man wouldnt join the Second Princes side, Zhou Jingtian excused himself and left.

w.a.n.g Tengs life returned to normal. As for the turmoil in the Great Qian Planet, it was none of his business.

There were no missions for the time being. He then returned to his room to cultivate in seclusion.

He recently had the idea of merging Ultimas, to see if he could create a stronger one.

There were also domains to consider. He had obtained many of them, and were extraordinary when combined. They would undoubtedly become much more powerful if he merged them.

Time pa.s.sed, night arrived in the blink of an eye.

The Tiger Strike Force members were almost done with their cultivation and w.a.n.g Teng gathered everyone to eat and drink, improving their camaraderie.

A bonfire was lit, the smell of food pervading in the air. Some of the men were competing, while others were playing games. It was a lively sight.

w.a.n.g Teng sat with Huo Qiya, Peggy and the others, and chatted away.

Happy times always pa.s.sed quickly. Two hours went by in a flash.

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the distance.

Boom!

w.a.n.g Teng turned and his expression changed.

Thats Huo Qiya and the others looked over and turned serious.

Its Mister Veblens laboratory. w.a.n.g Teng was quick to recognize the origin and instantly took to the skies. He then shouted, Get ready to deal with any possible accidents. Ill go over and take a look.
