Nangong Residence!
As a baron’s residence, naturally, its architectural specifications were built according to the empire’s standards.
Despite being low in rank, lodgings of normal martial warriors couldn’t be compared to it.
The building looked high-tech like it came from a science fiction movie. At the same time, it had the aura of an ancient sculpture. It looked extraordinary at a single glance.
There were more than ten planetary-stage martial warriors guarding the entrance. Standing in two rows, they gave off a fierce and sharp aura. Their backs were straight like spears. These were martial warriors who had killed before.
They weren’t ordinary planetary-stage martial warriors. They were at the peak of their level.
Wang Teng and An Lan walked toward the entrance.
“Please stop!” a planetary-stage martial warrior blocked their path and ordered in a low voice.
“Why is Cao Hongtu putting on this show? Doesn’t he find it embarrassing?” Wang Teng sneered as he scanned the two rows of martial warriors.
Was he planning to frighten him with these ninth-level planetary-stage martial warriors?
What was he thinking?
He had killed a few celestial-stage martial warriors, so the ninth-level planetary-stage martial warriors were nothing to him.
It looked like Cao Hongtu’s foundation wasn’t very strong.
“This is the baron’s residence. No outsiders are allowed,” the ninth-level planetary-stage martial warrior said coldly.
“Tell Cao Hongtu that I, Wang Teng, am here,” Wang Teng snorted. “I’ll give him ten seconds to appear. If he doesn’t, let him play alone. I’m leaving.”
The planetary-stage martial warrior’s expression changed.
An Lan shook his head. He scoffed at Cao Hongtu’s actions.
Low class.
This wasn’t what a heaven-stage martial warrior should do. He would never do this.
Besides, his opponent was the sly little fox, Wang Teng. He was asking for humiliation with this simple act.
The ninth-level planetary-stage martial warriors were acting on orders, so they couldn’t make decisions. They didn’t know what to do.
“Hahaha…” Peals of laughter were heard at this moment.
The ninth-level planetary-stage martial warriors heaved a sigh of relief.
Wang Teng stood at the entrance and peered inside. He saw a figure appearing ten meters ahead.
This was a lofty and muscular middle-aged man. He had brown curly hair and a stern but sinister face. There was a sharp glow in his inverted triangle eyes. It was impossible for anyone to look directly at them.
The aura he exuded was powerful. There seemed to be frightening energy encased within. This was a true heaven-stage martial warrior.
This person was Cao Hongtu!
“I should call you junior brother, right?” Cao Hongtu walked forward. His voice was loud.
“I’m just an inheritor. I didn’t formally acknowledge him as my master,” Wang Teng said calmly.
Cao Hongtu’s expression froze. But it only lasted for a second. He immediately gave a smile and said, “Same, both of us inherited our master’s legacy. It’s not wrong to call you junior brother.”
“Alright then, Senior Brother Cao,” Wang Teng said. However, his expression remained indifferent.
“I apologize for what happened just now. My subordinates were careless and stopped you. Please come in.” Cao Hongtu didn’t get angry. He raised his hand to welcome Wang Teng inside warmly.
Wang Teng didn’t harp on the topic. With a nod, he walked inside.
“This is?” Cao Hongtu noticed the person in the gray gown following behind Wang Teng. His gaze turned sharp.
“This is my bodyguard. I’m a timid person. Many people want my life now, so I feel more at ease with a bodyguard,” Wang Teng said in a meaningful tone.
An Lan felt frustrated. He was indeed a bodyguard, but as a heaven-stage martial warrior, he had his ego. Could this brat give him some respect during the next introduction?
Cao Hongtu didn’t get awkward. He laughed and said, “Who dares to touch you in Great Qian City? You must be thinking too much.”
“I don’t think so. It’s better to be careful. No one knows what can happen if you push a dog into a corner. Don’t you agree, Senior Brother Cao?” Wang Teng chuckled.
Silence.
Even with Cao Hongtu’s composure, he felt the corners of his mouth trembling. This young brat had a sharp tongue!
He was scolding him indirectly. Was he calling him a dog?
A heaven-stage martial warrior like him was called a dog, yet he couldn’t offer a refute. He felt so exasperated that he wanted to vomit blood.
“Senior Brother Cao, what’s wrong with you? Are you alright?” Wang Teng pretended to be ignorant.
What’s wrong with me?
Don’t you know the answer?
Cao Hongtu felt like cursing, but he maintained his calm expression on the surface. “… I’m fine.”
“That’s good. I thought you were sick. When you get older, you should take good care of your health. Don’t be embarrassed just because you’re a heaven-stage martial warrior. This is human nature,” Wang Teng said.
F**k!?The word got stuck in his throat. He couldn’t say it out loud.
An Lan had a hard time controlling his laughter.
Wang Teng was so evil. He made it sound as if Cao Hongtu was really sick!
