âLetâs go!â he said to Lin Chuhan and got ready to leave.
The young woman nodded.
The couple ran into a few individuals the moment they walked out of the smithing room. Wang Teng raised his eyebrows.
âYou must be Grandmaster Wang. Indeed, young and promising,â said a middle-aged man in front of a group. The slightly plump fellow was all smiles as he walked over with enthusiasm.
It was a heaven stage martial warrior!
âYou areâŠâ Wang Teng was puzzled.
He noticed that the person standing behind the man was the senior man who was serving as his liaison.
The plump middle-aged man introduced himself. âIâm the person in charge of this branch, Achille.â
âNice to meet you.â The hero offered a polite nod.
While the Secondary Career Allianceâs overseer held a respectable position, the young hero was grandmaster, a person of an even higher status. There was no need to be overly polite or deferential. He needed to uphold his status.
âGrandmaster Wang, what did you forge? How could it cause such a lightning calamity?â the overseer asked prudently.
âIs there a problem?â Wang Teng saw it coming.
The recent tribulation had been anything but normal; drawing attention was only natural. Being responsible for the allianceâs operations justified him showing up to find the cause.
âNo problem at all. However, the lightning calamityâŠâ Achille was afraid of offending the earl, so he was caught in a dilemma.
âI think it was just a fluke. Iâm in the dark about this, just as you are,â said the hero while shaking his head, appearing genuinely puzzled. He continued, âI will compensate accordingly if needed be.â
âLook at what youâre saying. Only one array suffered damage; that is not a problem. No compensation is needed,â the overseer replied in a hurry. âSince it was just a coincidence, I wonât keep you any longer.â
Wang Teng nodded and left quietly with Lin Chuhan.
Achille stared at the heroâs back with an ambiguous gaze.
The staff member behind the plump fellow asked. âSir, thisâŠâ
âSince Grandmaster Wang says that itâs a coincidence, itâs a coincidence.â The former glanced at his aide and laughed.
âYes.â The staff member shuddered and quickly nodded.
âBowen, do you think the lightning calamity summoned by Grandmaster Wang was⊠reliable?â Achille asked, rubbing his chin as he looked at the middle-aged fellow next to him.
Bowen gave him an awkward smile and replied, âI donât think so.â
âThatâs right. How can a normal tribulation fail to strike its target? It must be something wrong with the calamity itself.â The overseer clapped his hands.
âYouâre right.â Bowen nodded, the corners of his lips twitching.
âŠ
The young pair left the alliance chapter and drove their flying rune car and went back to the manor.
âWill this matter affect you?â Lin Chuhan asked worriedly.
The tribulation had indeed been strange. She was worried that someone could start to investigate the matter.
âDonât worry. They wouldnât risk offending me just for an unknown factor.â He flashed a lighthearted smile.
The young woman nodded in silence.
The sky had grown dark by then. Wang Teng only took a day to make a pill and forge the Luck Tear. His efficiency level was sky high.
The pair ate dinner and took a stroll within the manor. Then, the hero pulled Lin Chuhan into a room.
âWhat do you want?â She blushed. Is this fellow going to do something weird? Has the day finally arrived?
âWhat are you thinking?â Wang Teng was stunned for a moment before he leaned towards her with a smirk.
âNothing. Iâm not thinking of anything.â Her ears turned red. The hero had the urge to pinch them.
He reached out and gave a gentle squeeze. His eyes lit up at once; the feeling was superb.
Wang Teng felt he discovered something extraordinary, never imagining that a girlâs earlobe could be so soft. It felt like⊠jelly!
He wanted to lick it.
Lin Chuhan felt weak. She murmured in a shy and sweet voice, âDonâtâŠâ
The young earl couldnât bear it anymore. He kissed her.
The two parted after some time. Wang Teng still had a lingering desire for more.
She lightly tapped him and said with a playful pout, âYouâve become naughtier.â
âHaha, really?â Wang Teng smiled. He took out the Luck Tear and said, âLet me put it on you.â
âWang Teng, this is too precious. I canât take it. You need it more than me,â she said.
âTake it. I bought it for you.â
âButâŠâ Lin Chuhan wanted to reject it again.
âNo buts.â Wang Teng ignored Lin Chuhanâs rejection and placed the jewel around her slender and fair neck.
âSeriouslyâŠâ She was a bit annoyed by Wang Tengâs domineering behavior, and yet, she felt a hint of sweetness in her heart at the same time.
âActually, youâre mistaken. It doesnât have much effect on me,â said the hero with a smile.
âReally?â The girl still had her doubts.
âWhy would I lie to you?â Wang Teng said as he observed the bejeweled result. He nodded in satisfaction. âYes, it looks great on you.â
