They knew that Isah had evil intentions; it wasnât just pure love.
The outcome was a lesson for him.
âLetâs go. Donât think too much. Lin Chuhan isnât someone you can lay your hands on,â said Xue Fei, patting his shoulder.
HoweverâŠ
âPfft!â Isah vomited a mouthful of blood and stumbled.
Everyone was appalled.
Du Wa quickly grabbed him and asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
âIâm fine.â Isah waved a feeble hand and straightened his body with difficulty. âIâll go back first.â
He stumbled his way out before anyone could reply.
Some people noticed his eyes, filled with emotions; there was fear and regret. He seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying.
âDid that person do it?â someone whispered.
Du Wa swallowed saliva and said fearfully, âI think so. Who else could it be?â
âLooks like the guy isnât completely oblivious to our situation,â said Xue Fei with a bitter smile. âNo wonder. Someone with his status would never let Lin Chuhan venture out alone without any protection.â
âIsah brought this upon himself. Heâs always playing dirty tricks and now heâs finally met someone he shouldnât provoke. Even if he didnât do anything significant, itâs enough to make him fall into an abyss.â Du Wa shook his head. âStill, Earl Wangâs strength is truly terrifying. We didnât even notice when he acted.â
âIs this the might of the first place holder in the League of Talents? That was scary. Iâm afraid he could kill us before we even had time to react,â said the others in horror.
âLetâs go. We canât do anything,â Xue Fei said, âSince he didnât kill Isah in the end, he probably just wanted to give him a lesson. I donât think heâll pursue the matter again.â
âYes.â Du Wa nodded and reprimanded the planetary stage warriors behind him. âSee that? Itâs better to focus on cultivating properly, instead of coming up with nasty ideas. You may run into someone we canât handle otherwise.â
âYes!â The group replied in unison.

Wang Teng discarded the small episode with the Battle Hearth Mercenary Team from his mind. As for Isah, he just gave him a small lesson.
Right from the start, he noticed the fellowâs strange eyes when looking at Lin Chuhan.
He too noticed how the rest were teasing the latter moments before.
Why is he having thoughts about my lady? Is he tired of living?
He didnât act overtly because she was present. He controlled himself.
âWhen did you come back?â Lin Chuhan asked.
âAbout three days ago,â Wang Teng smiled.
âHow long are you planning to stay?â
âDo you want me to stay a few more days?â said the hero with a smile.
âI want you to stay for a year, can you?â Lin Chuhan rolled her eyes.
âReally? Looks like you really missed me and donât want me to leave,â he teased.
Lin Chuhan turned her head and flicked her hair as she replied stubbornly, âMe? No way!â
âIn that case, Iâll leave tomorrow.â He laughed again.
âYouâre only staying for one day?â She was shocked.
âHahahaâŠâ The young earl burst out laughing. He nudged her, âYou canât bear to part with me.â
âYou⊠hmph!â She snorted, realizing he was just playing around.
âAll right, all right. The Stellar Academies gave me one month; I can stay for a few more days,â Wang Teng quickly replied.
Lin Chuhan didnât say anything but her eyes were glowing.
The hero noticed her little burst of excitement but he didnât expose her. He just smiled.
âLetâs have something good to eat,â Wang Teng said.
âI want you to cook for me,â she replied.
âYour standards are quite high!â He smiled and looked at her.
âWhy? You canât satisfy this request?â Lin Chuhan flashed him with puppy eyes. âI canât even eat properly while Iâm on missionsâŠâ
âAll right, I get it!â he quickly interjected. âI agree.â
âGreat, weâre settled then.â She was delighted.
They reached the manor soon after.
The young girl was just back from a trip, so she was a bit unkempt. Some freshening up was in order.
Wang Teng stood in the main hall and spoke to a certain empty spot next to him.
âAn Lan, itâs been a while.â
The air became distorted and a figure in black cloak gradually manifested. He removed his cape, revealing the mechanical face underneath.
âYouâre getting stronger. I didnât expect you to notice me.â An Lan stared at Wang Teng in surprise.
âThis is nothing. Have you forgotten about my space talent?â The latter asked.
âThatâs true.â The other fellow rubbed his head.
âThank you for your efforts during this period,â said the hero, his gratitude evident.
âItâs nothing. I didnât do anything. I just went out to gain more experience,â An Lan replied. âThose mercenaries are quite cautious. They would rarely be in any danger, unless there was an accident.â
âBeing cautious is good. Lin Chuhan has matured greatly.â Wang Teng nodded.
âIndeed. She has improved greatly, and is now a competent mercenary. Sheâll be able to explore the universe on her own when she gets stronger,â the other said.
âIâm just afraid of accidents.â The hero shook his head.
âOh right, I made some gains when I followed them to a planet,â said the covert expert all of a sudden.
âWhat was it?â Wang Teng was surprised.
âAn ore mine!â The former smiled. âIt has materials I need to advance to the universe stage.â
Approaching footsteps could be heard. Lin Chuhan was once again before Wang Teng, looking fresh and rejuvenated. She was clad in a long white dress that enhanced her graceful figure.
