Situ Wan’er glanced at him sternly. Are you serious?
Situ Nan gave an embarra.s.sed smile and shut his mouth. It didn’t seem good to discuss this topic in front of his daughter.
…
As time went by, more and more n.o.bles arrived. Towards the end, a few dukes and earls came too. Of course, some of them sent their men in their place, not attending personally.
These people either looked down on w.a.n.g Teng or were his enemies. w.a.n.g Teng didn’t know how he offended them, but the relations between n.o.bles were complicated.
!!
Many n.o.bles brought their younger generation, so the number of guests got more and more.
Everyone chatted with one another and talked about the major happenings in the universe or an up-and-coming talent. It was a lively sight.
Young friends gathered together and conversed happily. Some were talking about current news while others were exchanging rumors.
“The Parkers family has arrived!” Suddenly, a loud shout was heard.
Everyone turned silent.
The Parkers!
Didn’t they have a grudge with w.a.n.g Teng? Why were they here?
w.a.n.g Teng squinted. A sharp gaze flashed in his eyes.
A group of people walked in. The leader was a muscular elder with a fiery red beard. There was a red flame symbol on his forehead. His aura was overwhelming.
Valteru and Sinclamon followed behind the elder obediently.
The youngsters also came. Andrais was among them. It was easy to tell that they didn’t just come to congratulate w.a.n.g Teng.
“Gasp. That’s the universe-stage martial warrior of the Parkers family, right? Why is he here?” Many people exclaimed in low voices when they saw the elder.
“This is just a baron’s banquet. Why is that antique here?”
“It looks like the banquet won’t go smoothly!”
…
On the other side, Duke Situ frowned slightly.
“Father, what does the Parkers family want?” Situ Wan’er asked curiously using voice transmission.
“Who knows? But I don’t think this is a good thing. Hmph, why is a grand duke targeting a baron? Don’t they find it embarra.s.sing? Do they think they can do anything in this city?” Situ Nan snorted.
“They’re used to being above everyone, so it’s normal they’ll act like this,” Situ Wan’er said calmly.
…
The elder didn’t speak. Instead, Valteru stepped out and said, “Baron w.a.n.g Teng, we came to congratulate you. You will welcome us, right?”
There was contempt in their eyes. They seemed to be mocking this banquet.
“Of course. The famous Parkers family is willing to give me some face. Please have a seat,” w.a.n.g Teng replied calmly.
However, he didn’t welcome them personally. He asked the servants to arrange their seats and treated them like ordinary guests.
The faces of the Parkers family members turned black. The younger ones were indignant. w.a.n.g Teng was looking down on them.
Situ Wan’er was stunned. She turned and looked at Situ Nan, asking using voice transmission, “Has Baron w.a.n.g Teng always been so brave?”
“Hahaha, good lad. He’s like me when I was young.” Situ Nan laughed loudly.
Situ Wan’er rolled her eyes cheekily.
The other n.o.bles were surprised at this scene too. A strange emotion appeared in their eyes.
They were shocked by w.a.n.g Teng’s boldness. At the same time, they paid him a silent tribute. They felt that he was tempting fate.
“w.a.n.g Teng, how dare you humiliate the Parkers!” Andrais scolded him angrily.
“When did I ever do that?” w.a.n.g Teng asked in confusion. He didn’t understand what Andrais was saying.
“Our Parkers family is a ducal family, but you didn’t welcome us personally. Isn’t this humiliating us?” Andrais said coldly.
“That’s not right. I’m attending to this baron. If I have to throw all my guests away because of your arrival, I will be disrespecting them,” w.a.n.g Teng replied calmly.
Baron Weili’s face turned black. He almost fainted.
Why did you pull me in?
Baron Weili glanced at w.a.n.g Teng bitterly. He wanted to say something, but he realized that no one was looking at him.
He was an invisible person!
He decided to remain quiet.
“You’re quibbling. How can a baron be compared to the Parkers?” Andrais asked.
“Are you saying that if your Parkers family is here, I have to ignore all the other n.o.bles and attend to you only?” w.a.n.g Teng shot back.
“You!” Andrais’s expression changed entirely.
Even Valteru and Sinclamon’s expressions changed slightly. Their gazes flickered a little.
What an evil little brat. He was trying to pull all the n.o.bles to his side!
The n.o.bles around them knew that w.a.n.g Teng was making use of them, but their expressions still changed slightly.
At this moment, someone laughed softly, and an old voice was heard, “Baron w.a.n.g Teng, I finally have the chance to meet you. You’ve surprised me.”
The person who spoke was the universe-stage martial warrior of the Parkers family.
“Thank you for your compliment.” w.a.n.g Teng’s gaze turned sharp when he saw the other party opening his mouth. He smiled and asked, “How do I address you?”
“Others gave me the t.i.tle of the Furious Flaming Universe Lord when I traveled the universe in the past!” the muscular old man said in a composed manner.
“It’s the Furious Flaming Universe Lord!”
There was a commotion.
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord had been famous for a long time and had gone into seclusion many years ago. He rarely made public appearances. If it wasn’t for his name, no one would have recognized him.
However, everyone was familiar with his name.
w.a.n.g Teng glanced at everyone’s expression and knew that the Furious Flaming Universe Lord wasn’t an easy character. His heart sank, but he remained expressionless. He pretended to be enlightened and said, “So you’re the Furious Flaming Universe Lord. I’ve long heard about you. What a huge pleasure to meet you!”
Everyone: …
The atmosphere was tense and serious, but for some reason, it started thawing under w.a.n.g Teng’s exaggerated reaction.
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord raised his eyebrows and said in a meaningful tone, “Young people should be full of life, but you can’t be too active either. If you jump around too much, you might die one day unknowingly!”
“You’re right.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded in a humble manner.
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord’s expression softened a little. This young lad was still scared of him.
Just when everyone thought that w.a.n.g Teng was admitting defeat, they heard this voice again.
“Andrais, did y’all hear what he said? Your elder is educating you. Don’t forget his words!”
“Pfft!”
Everyone almost spat out their water. His actions caught them off guard.
Where did w.a.n.g Teng get the guts to say this?
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord was educating him, but he pretended that he was educating the younger generation of the Parkers. Moreover, they couldn’t deny it.
The youngsters looked exasperated. They felt as if they were strangled by their throat. It was suffocating.
Valteru and Sinclamon felt the corners of their lips twitching. They didn’t know how to express their confused emotions.
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord was stunned for a moment. He cursed multiple times in his heart and finally understood why Valteru and the others gave that expression when they talked about this brat.
This was an irritating brat!
“Universe Lord, why don’t you have a seat first? No one dares to come in if y’all keep blocking the entrance,” w.a.n.g Teng said.
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord had never been this frustrated. Yet, w.a.n.g Teng did it. He snorted and sat down at an empty table with the rest of the family.
