On the s.p.a.cecraft, w.a.n.g Teng was surrounded by a bunch of grandmasters.
“Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng, come, have a seat. You must be tired after the journey. Take a rest.”
“Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng, would you like something to drink? We’ve brought along some excellent beverages. You’ll surely enjoy them.”
“Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng, are you hungry? Would you like to eat something first? We have a wide variety of delicacies here at the Secondary Career Alliance headquarters. There’s a bustling street filled with Force chef masters offering all kinds of delicacies. It’s a feast for the senses. Would you like to experience
it?”
As soon as they entered the s.h.i.+p, the grandmasters greeted w.a.n.g Teng with great enthusiasm, offering him all sorts of comforts and treats as if afraid he might be hungry or weary.
Silence.
Luo Tang, Xie Jia, and the other young grandmasters from the Great Qian
Empire were speechless.
These old grandmasters were treating w.a.n.g Teng as if he were some kind of deity.
Was there a need to do this?
Perhaps w.a.n.g Teng was truly a genius, but as grandmasters themselves, they had their own talents. There was no need to fawn over him like this.
Undoubtedly, in the eyes of these young grandmasters, it seemed like Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others were just flattering w.a.n.g Teng.
But they didn’t know the relations.h.i.+p between Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others and w.a.n.g Teng.
w.a.n.g Teng couldn’t help but feel amused. These grandmasters were making a big deal out of nothing. He wasn’t so delicate. Were they treating him like a three-year-old child?
“Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng…”
“Cough, cough, grandmasters!” w.a.n.g Teng looked around at the eager old grandmasters, feeling a bit overwhelmed. He quickly interjected, “There’s no need for all this fuss. As a member of the Great Qian Empire’s Secondary Career
Alliance, I naturally have to do my part.”
“Moreover, when I first arrived in the Great Qian Empire, all of you grandmasters and the Secondary Career Alliance provided me with considerable a.s.sistance.”
“So, whether it’s a matter of principle or personal connection, this is something I cannot s.h.i.+rk.”
The grandmasters were taken aback by w.a.n.g Teng’s words, exchanging glances before smiles gradually spread across their faces.
That smile came from the depths of their hearts. If their previous attempts to win over w.a.n.g Teng were based on recognition of his talent and potential, now they truly regarded him as a member of the Great Qian Empire’s Secondary
Career Alliance.
In other words… one of their own!
They knew w.a.n.g Teng’s background, and generally, it was difficult for outsiders like him to feel a sense of belonging to the Great Qian Empire. That was why they had gone to such lengths to win him over, fearing that he might
leave.
But after hearing w.a.n.g Teng’s words, their worries vanished as they looked at his sincere expression.
Of course, their relations.h.i.+p with w.a.n.g Teng was already very close. That was beyond doubt.
However, they hoped even more that w.a.n.g Teng could become a Secondary Career Alliance member of the Great Qian Empire, truly standing together with
them.
“We old folks are indeed too sensitive,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others sat down nearby, shaking their heads with a smile.
“We’re just looking out for you,” Grandmaster Alfred chuckled.
“In that case, 1 must thank you all for your kindness.”
w.a.n.g Teng finally breathed a sigh of relief, appearing pleasantly surprised as he bowed repeatedly.
“Hahaha…”
The grandmasters couldn’t help but burst into laughter at w.a.n.g Teng’s playful antics.
“By the way, who was that?” Grandmaster Alfred asked curiously. “I couldn’t quite see through that young man just now.”
Curious, the others turned to look as well. They had all been wondering but hadn’t dared to ask in front of him.
“He’s a friend I met along the way. His name is Gu Luo, and he’s from the Gu Hong Territorial Domain.” w.a.n.g Teng recounted what happened along the
way.
“Gu Hong Territorial Domain!”
The grandmasters present were all well-versed individuals, and the Gu Hong Territorial Domain’s reputation preceded it. Hearing this, they couldn’t help
but be surprised.
“His surname is Gu?” Grandmaster Hua Yuan’s expression grew slightly solemn.
The Gu Hong Territorial Domain was already astonis.h.i.+ng enough, let alone with someone surnamed Gu. This ident.i.ty was intriguing.
“He took the initiative to befriend you?” Grandmaster Alfred asked in disbelief.
Xie Jia and Luo Tang, the young grandmasters, exchanged a glance, seeing a hint of shock in each other’s eyes.
An alchemist from the Gu Hong Territorial Domain, who had the surname Gu, took the initiative to befriend Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng.
Could his talent truly be so formidable?
Even an alchemist from the Gu Hong Territorial Domain was willing to set aside their pride to make friends!
“Yes,” w.a.n.g Teng nodded, sensing their peculiar expressions. He couldn’t help but ask, “Is there a problem?”
“This person’s ident.i.ty is probably not simple.” Grandmaster Alfred pondered. “And you may not know, but the Gu Hong Territorial Domain has always been independent and rarely initiates friends.h.i.+ps with others. On the contrary, people from other forces often try all sorts of schemes to befriend them, but it’s usually in vain. Very few can catch the eye of those from the Gu Hong
Territorial Domain.”
“Over the years, only a few top geniuses have been able to earn their friends.h.i.+p.”
“Oh?” w.a.n.g Teng couldn’t help but be surprised.
Grandmaster Alfred’s description of Gu Luo was quite different. The fellow had been extremely enthusiastic towards him, without any airs.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have doubted whether the Gu Luo they described and the one he encountered was the same person..
