The gentle shout was heard along with the faint sound of something flying through the air. The arrow formed from the blue flame disappeared without a trace.
Wang Teng heaved a sigh of relief secretly. But his expression remained unchanged, still as calm as ever. He even raised his eyebrow at Sinclamon with a sneer at the corner of his lips.
Stupid bald man, do you think Iâll be afraid just because you look fiercer?
The veins on Sinclamonâs forehead bulged like snakes. If he wasnât stopped, he might have rushed forward and beaten Wang Teng to death.
âSinclamon, Wang Teng, this is the Noble Family Consultation Chamber. It is not a place for you to wreak havoc,â the head of the council glanced at them as he spoke calmly.
âCouncil Head, you canât blame me. That stupid bald heaven-stage martial warrior wanted to bully me because Iâm weaker. He even wanted to snatch my baron seal. You must seek justice for me.â Wang Tengâs expression changed. He started acting pitiful.
âStupid bald martial warrior?!â Cao Guan had just regained his composure when he heard Wang Tengâs words. He was dumbstruck.
Was this fellow sick of living? How dared he ridicule Mister Sinclamon!
The other people had weird expressions on their faces too. They wanted to laugh, but they tried their best to hold it in. They had all been trained in strict aristocratic etiquette. They would never laugh unless they honestly couldnât bear with it⊠hahaha!
Sinclamon clenched his fists tightly. Flames of fury almost surged out of his eyes as he raged silently in his heart.
The head of the council felt his head throbbing. âWang Teng, please donât curse in the Noble Family Consultation Chamber.â
âYes, I understand. I was wrong. Iâll never curse in this chamber again.â Wang Teng nodded hurriedly.
There seemed nothing wrong with this sentence, but it sounded a little strange.
Would he continue cursing once he left this chamber?
This young man was indeed a bold fellow.
The head of the council felt the corners of his eyes twitching. It was difficult for him to lose his composure, but it only occurred for a split second. He soon regained his calmness. âSince youâre unable to prove your identity, weâll talk about this inheritance matter again after some investigation. Before that, youâre not allowed to leave the city.â
Cao Guan was elated after he heard the verdict. Although he didnât achieve his goal today, this fellow wouldnât be able to become the inheritor if he couldnât prove his identity.
âLetâs have an investigation.â The other members of the council nodded and agreed with the headâs decision.
Wang Tengâs performance showed them that this planetary-stage martial warrior wasnât easy to bully. Thus, some members who stood on Cao Hongtuâs side didnât open their mouths.
This young man dared to talk back to the Parkers family, one of the eight dukes. If they stood up, they were just asking for a snub.
They werenât afraid of Wang Teng. They were just afraid of losing face. In their hearts, they had already labeled him as a dead man. He had no chance of living after offending Sinclamon. They just had to wait for the result.
Everyone got up and prepared to leave. They thought that this meeting had ended.
âHmph!â Sinclamon snorted and glared at Wang Teng coldly. He seemed to have sentenced Wang Teng to death with his gaze.
No one could survive after offending the Parkers family.
Cao Guan smirked at Wang Teng. He patted his long gown and turned to leave with a contemptuous gaze.
However, at this moment, Wang Teng sat down and said calmly, âWho says I donât have evidence?â
Everyone stopped in their tracks in unplanned unison. Besides the head of the council, the others had already stood up. After hearing Wang Tengâs words, they turned and looked at him in surprise.
Are you making a fool of us?
Cao Guan trembled and turned abruptly to glare at Wang Teng.
This young man was able to prove it?
Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.
Sinclamonâs gaze also turned gloomy. He furrowed his brows slightly.
Only the head of the council remained in his seat, giving Wang Teng a meaningful smile.
âWang Teng, youâre crazy!â Round Ball knew what Wang Teng wanted to do. It started screaming in his mind, âNo, you canât do it. Youâll die.â
âI have already offended the Parkers family. Why would I be afraid of other martial warriors?â Wang Tengâs tone remained calm. He said softly, âOne more enemy isnât a problem. I wonât die.â
âYou!â Round Ball didnât know what to say.
Wang Teng realized that everyoneâs attention was on him. He smiled and activated the legacy mark left by Nangong Yue.
A rune appeared on his forehead. As this rune lit up, the baronâs seal on the table lit up in response. It seemed to be showing everyone the connection between them.
âNangong Yue passed the Nangong Familyâs legacy to Wang Teng!â
All the members of the council were flabbergasted. Their expressions were interesting to watch.
Cao Guanâs face turned ugly. The legacy of the Nangong family!
This was definitely the legacy of the Nangong family.
Although his father was Nangong Yueâs disciple, he didnât receive this legacy. They wanted to enter the treasure vault of the Nangong family all these years to gain the legacy knowledge, but without the legacy mark and the baronâs seal, they could only dream about it.
They had the treasures, but they couldnât enjoy them. You could imagine how frustrated and exasperated they were.
However, this legacy mark had appeared on Wang Teng.
Cao Guan was green with envy!
His eyes turned red and he wished he could snatch the legacy mark from Wang Teng and paste it on his head.
Sinclamon remained expressionless. However, his gaze had turned sharper.
âI wonder if you guys will acknowledge my inheritorâs identity with this legacy mark as proof?â Wang Teng glanced around him as he spoke. He paused purposely when he saw Cao Guan and Sinclamon.
This was a slap in their faces!
It was a direct and brutal slap!
The expression on the other peopleâs faces turned ambiguous. They looked at Cao Guan and started to sympathize with him and Cao Hongtu who wasnât present.
The baronâs title was flying further and further away!
It was right within their reach, but it had flown away just like that.
Everyone could imagine Cao Hongtuâs expression when he would receive this piece of this. If they were in his position, they might vomit blood out of frustration.
âSince you have the legacy, your inheritorâs identity is justified.â The head of the council nodded.
His words were the verdict. It meant that the Great Qian Noble Family Consultation Chamber, in the representation of the Great Qian Empire, had acknowledged Wang Tengâs identity.
Cao Guanâs face turned pale.
Sinclamon flicked his sleeve and strode out of the great hall silently.
