1360 Storm in the Capital (3)

“That’s right, he’s our man. We can’t let anyone hurt him.”

“Hmph, let’s see who dares to try.”

…

All the generals instantly switched on their ‘parent’ mode, wanting to protect Wang Teng. They didn’t care about others, at all, and neither did they fear anyone who stepped up against them.

“Oh right, this lad is going to participate in the League of Talents, right? Looks like the military will be in the limelight this time.”

“That’s good. Our reputation will rise even higher, and more talents will want to join us.”

“How unexpected. We didn’t do a thing and a talent fell in our hands.”

“Either way, Wang Teng made a huge contribution this time; a reward is in order. I heard that he’s already a colonel; a rank promotion would be inappropriate. We can give him the National Military Medal first.”

“The National Military Medal? He does have the right to receive it, given his merits. No objections here!”

“Me neither!”

“This also works as a way to protect him. Yes, let’s give it to him.”

…

This was how Wang Teng receiving the great honor was decided. No one would ever think that the medal would be handed to him because of a few sentences.

Only a few of these medals had been given out in the Great Qian Empire. And yet, it was going to be bestowed upon a celestial warrior.

The young hero would have been denounced had he not made such a massive contribution.

“All right, that’ll be all for the rewards matter. I have something more important to tell you all,” said the calm voice.

The hall became silent again.

“When you go back, please inspect the situation on all planets. Even the devil ovum appeared; I have a feeling that this dark apparition battle is not a coincidence.

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat. They turned grim.

This was something on their minds, too. They had been fighting against the apparitions for many years. They would have died long before, never reaching such high positions if they couldn’t detect this.

“Yes!” Everyone was quick to reply.

“Okay, you can leave now. Report immediately if you discover anything.”

Then, the voice wasn’t heard again. The great hall turned silent.

The holograms started to disappear; everyone left within a few seconds. The hall was empty, as if no one would have been there.

…

In the capital city, within a golden and extravagant great hall—a young man was cultivating in a cross-legged position. Wisps of golden light seeped into his body, strengthening his aura.

The cultivation speed attested to the young man’s high talent. At the same time, his scripture was top-grade.

Either of those two factors meant that he wasn’t an ordinary person.

The young man’s black hair flowed down his back. He was a handsome fellow who gave off a noble vibe, along with an outstanding aura.

After his cultivation progressed for some time—he gradually opened his eyes and a sharp gold light flashed in his pupils.

“Come in!”

A cold and distant voice came out from his mouth.

No noise was heard outside the great hall. The mere sound of footsteps were heard after the order was given.

A figure walked in at a fast pace. If Wang Teng were present, he would recognize the man. It was Lu Qing, the person who took Swait from him.

He was the Third Prince’s subordinate!

“Your highness!” Lu Qing walked in and bowed respectfully.

The person cultivating was the Third Prince of the Great Qian Empire.

“Why are you so anxious?” the prince asked calmly. The sourcᴇ of this content is novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

“Your highness, the people below have sent this report. Please have a look.” Lu Qing hesitated for a moment before passing the document to the noble.

“Hmm?” The prince glanced at the other, then opened the letter. He skimmed through it and frowned.

The atmosphere tensed up.

Lu Qing saw the latter’s expression and knew that the mood had soured. The prince was… angry.

The lackey stood at the side, trembling in fear. He wouldn’t dare open his mouth at the moment, and his heart pounded furiously. He was having a hard time keeping composure.

He didn’t expect Wang Teng to complete such a huge undertaking.

In the past, he had only felt that Wang Teng was a haughty fellow when he saw him on Defense Planet No. 29. He didn’t even care about the Third Prince.

He was filled with contempt for the young man. Since he had offended the prince, his life would be cut short, even if he was talented.

But now…

The other party was still alive and kicking; quite well at that.

The Third Prince would no longer be able to touch him as easily as in the past.

“He’s quite lucky,” the Third Prince said indifferently.

“Yes. Wang Teng is just a celestial warrior; all of those merits must be due to some extremely lucky windfall. Maybe the generals on that planet helped him. He won’t be able to achieve this on his own,” Lu Qing agreed.

“Based on the outcome, the higher ups in the military will take notice of him soon. I can give him one more chance to come under my wing the next time I see him,” the Third Prince said.

Lu Qing was shocked. The prince still wants to pull Wang Teng over? But, based on the young man’s personality, he would definitely disagree. Many thoughts went through his mind, but all he said was, “It is his honor to have the fortune of your good graces.”
