Chapter 952: So, What Do You Mean By Perfectly Justifiable?

w.a.n.g Teng didnt have to wait long. The n.o.ble elders hurried over to the Great Qian n.o.ble Family Consultation Chamber when they received the news.

Rune energy flying cars stopped outside the chamber one after another, and powerful figures stepped out of the cars and strode toward the building one by one.

Many people who had heard the news gathered around the chamber. Some were watching the show, while others were trying to get information. However, no one dared to go within a hundred meters of the building.

The Great Qian n.o.ble Family Consultation Chamber was an extremely solemn and sacred place in the Great Qian Empire. Not even n.o.bles dared to enter the chamber easily, not to mention make noise in front of it.

This time, a flying car landed from the sky, and a brown-haired man who was in his thirties came out. He was the one from the Cao family.

Its Cao Guan!

He came!

Hes the other main character in this matter. How could he not come?

..

I heard his father Cao Hongtu was cultivating on another planet and couldnt rush back in time. Thats why he is in charge now.

The people outside were discussing in low voices and were extremely enthusiastic.

For ordinary martial warriors, matters concerning n.o.bles were always the focus of attention. After all, the n.o.bles enjoyed too much preferential treatment. Whether it was jealousy or envy, people would pay attention to them subconsciously.

Cao Guan heard what they were discussing and snorted as he strode into the consultation chamber.

In the chambers lobby, Ming Cheng opened his eyes and said, All the elders are here. Please follow me.

w.a.n.g Teng was calm. After drinking his last sip of tea, he stood up and followed Ming Cheng.

This made Ming Cheng even more surprised. What kind of trump card does this fellow have such that he has no fear at all? Or is it because he doesnt understand the significance of the consultation chamber?

w.a.n.g Teng followed Ming Cheng and arrived at the ninth level of the chamber. He then entered a huge and quaint hall.

The first thing that caught his eye was a long table made of an unknown navy blue wood, which looked thick and uncommon.

At this instance, everyone was seated around the long table. There were men and women of different ages. They were all dressed in purple robes, looking luxurious and n.o.ble with innate self-restraint and elegance on their faces.

Most importantly, these people had immense auras which far surpa.s.sed that of cosmos-stage martial warriors. Even if they sat there motionless, people would still feel their hearts palpitating.

This was the pressure from the strong!

When w.a.n.g Teng entered the hall, everyone looked at him with different intentions. Overwhelming pressure crept up on him.

Woah, what a huge spectacle! w.a.n.g Teng smiled in his heart.

His footsteps didnt stop, and his expression was extremely calm. It was like he wasnt affected in any way.

There was a hint of surprise in everyones eyes. This young man is interesting!

These all are the n.o.bles of the empire, representing the ancient families with respectable statuses and great strength. Be careful. Round Ball reminded him.

w.a.n.g Teng suddenly felt a hostile gaze falling on his body, which never left him.

Following the gaze, he saw that there was a brown-haired man staring at him with cold eyes at the end of the long table.

Who is that? w.a.n.g Teng asked in his mind.

I dont know either! Round Ball sized up the man and was suddenly taken aback, But he seems familiar. Is he that b.a.s.t.a.r.ds descendant?

Please take a seat! At this moment, a slightly old voice came from the head of the table.

w.a.n.g Teng looked up and saw an old man with pale hair sitting in the head seat. He was looking at him calmly.

Thats the head of the council! Round Ball said, Back then, we met once when Master Nangong inherited the t.i.tle of baron. I didnt expect him to still be alive after all those years.

How can such a strong person die so easily. w.a.n.g Teng ignored Round Ball. He couldnt even gauge how strong the other party was with his Spiritual Sight.

This old man might be a universe-stage martial warrior.

w.a.n.g Teng found that there was an empty seat at the end of the long table, which happened to be directly opposite the brown-haired man. He then walked over and sat down before looking straight at him.

Cao Guan was dazed.

Does this fellow know who I am?

Such fearlessness!

Who gave him the courage? Who gave him the guts to be like this?

Cao Guans eyes became even more gloomy, but he had already retracted his gaze. Having a staring challenge was demeaning to his status.

w.a.n.g Teng sneered in his heart.

A staring challenge?

Im not afraid of you!

As long as he wasnt embarra.s.sed, the one who was embarra.s.sed would be him.

The others could see w.a.n.g Tengs behavior. Many people showed interest, but there were also others who frowned.

Are you here for Baron Nangongs t.i.tle? the old man at the head of the table asked.

Yes. w.a.n.g Teng nodded.

In the presence of someone who was likely a universe-stage martial warrior, he was still very honest and didnt reveal the slightest defiance that he had shown to Cao Guan.

This was not cowardice but respect for the strong!

And with what ident.i.ty have you come here? The old man probed.

Naturally, as an heir, w.a.n.g Teng said lightly.

Cao Guans expression changed, and he glanced towards the head of the table.

Oh, do you have any evidence? The old man continued with his questions.

Reporting to the head of the council, he has Baron Nangongs square seal, Ming Cheng responded in his place.

w.a.n.g Teng heard that and immediately took out his square seal again and placed it on the table.

Cao Guans eyes went red when he saw the square seal.

The barons seal was the symbol of status. They didnt have the barons seal and were only Nangong Yues disciples. They didnt have the right to the t.i.tle.

This had always been a major concern for him and his father!

And now, the barons seal had appeared in front of him in such a grand manner!

It was a pity that he couldnt s.n.a.t.c.h it.

There was nothing more painful than this It was so infuriating!

With just one look, the people here would be able to determine that this square seal was undoubtedly the barons seal. Regardless of whether w.a.n.g Teng was a true heir, the seal was genuine. This was enough to raise his status.

What do you guys think? the old man asked calmly.

There was silence all around as if no one dared to be the first to speak.

Cao Guans face was gloomy, and he hesitated.

Cao Guan, what do you think? the old man called him and asked directly.

Head of the council, I think that this persons origin is unknown. It is possible that by a stroke of luck, he found my masters barons seal and claimed to be his heir. I hope the n.o.bles will order a thorough investigation about this matter. Cao Guan glanced at w.a.n.g Teng with a hint of mockery.

Sorry, who are you? w.a.n.g Teng interrupted him and asked.

Cao Guan felt that w.a.n.g Teng was looking down on him. He took a deep breath to suppress the fury in his heart and said, My father is Nangong Yues only disciple, Cao Hongtu! Naturally, Im Nangong Yues grand disciple.

Oh, a grandson, w.a.n.g Teng replied.1

Cao Guan had finally managed to extinguish his anger, but it was re-ignited. He snorted and said to everyone around him, Sirs, my father is Nangong Yues only disciple. By right, hes the right inheritor of the t.i.tle. Its perfectly justifiable. Someone cant become the inheritor just because he has the barons seal.

Cao Guan is right. If anyone can proclaim that hes the inheritor just because they have the barons seal, this baron of the Great Qian Empire will be a joke.

Yes, Cao Hongtu is more suitable.

We need to discuss it long-term!

The people around them started discussing in low voices after hearing Cao Guans words. Cao Guan glanced at w.a.n.g Teng proudly.

Bulls.h.i.+t! This is all bulls.h.i.+t! Master Nangong never said that he wanted to pa.s.s the t.i.tle to Cao Hongtu. He doesnt have the right! Round Ball yelled in w.a.n.g Tengs mind. If it wasnt held back by its rational side, it would have jumped out and refuted Cao Guan.

Dont be angry. Were just starting. w.a.n.g Teng dug his ears and sneered as he calmed Round Ball down in his mind.

Round Ball found its confidence from w.a.n.g Tengs composed tone. It gradually controlled himself and scoffed. w.a.n.g Teng, slap him for me. Im 90% certain that Cao Hongtu is related to Master Nangongs death. This brat is his son. Lets get some interest from him first.

w.a.n.g Teng waited for Cao Guan to finish speaking. Then, he turned and asked the elder on the middle seat, May I ask a question?

Yes. The old man nodded.

Is there a rule that the barons disciple can inherit the barons t.i.tle if he died without writing a will? w.a.n.g Teng asked with a gentle smile on his face.

Theres no such rule, the old man said.

I also want to know if Baron Nangong left a will for your father to inherit his barons t.i.tle? w.a.n.g Teng turned to Cao Guan.

Cao Guans expression changed.

Are you not going to reply to my question? w.a.n.g Teng tilted his head and stared at him intently.

Cao Guans face turned black.

Is there? w.a.n.g Teng continued probing calmly.

Although Cao Guan felt frustrated, he couldnt answer w.a.n.g Teng directly.

Since Nangong Yue didnt have any descendants or inheritors, his only disciple, Cao Hongtu, inherited his barons t.i.tle. This could be done without any will. Cao Hongtu also used many of his connections to gain multiple votes in the chamber and received the right to take over the barons t.i.tle temporarily.

Once he made enough merits and contributions, he would be able to kick away the temporary and become the real baron. However, a young man suddenly appeared with the barons seal and the non-existent will became a problem.

Baron Nangong didnt leave behind any will, the old man glanced at Cao Guan and replied for him.

I understand. Thank you for your answer. w.a.n.g Teng nodded. He turned and looked at Cao Guan, his tone calm. In that case, what do you mean by perfectly justifiable?

You! Cao Guans face turned green with anger. He stared at w.a.n.g Teng as if he wanted to eat him up.
