1624 A Small Lesson! (1)

Wang Teng stood in front of the Battle Hearth Mercenary Team and asked. “Are all of you Chuhan’s teammates?”

He was no longer hugging the beauty.

Lin Chuhan stood behind him with her head slightly lowered. There was a red tint on her face; she seemed a bit shy at the moment.

That was her first time hugging someone in front of a crowd.

The mercenary group was stunned; they had just seen something unbelievable.

Is that the cold and distant Lin Chuhan we know?

She looked extremely bashful and gentle.

However, they quickly understood.

The youth standing before them wasn’t a normal person.

They had already made the connection. It was none other than Wang Teng, the warrior who defeated numerous candidates in the League of Talents and claimed the top position.

Everyone was shocked due to the legendary figure making a sudden appearance; the experience was truly surreal.

Only a man like him could bring out the gentle side in Lin Chuhan.

“Thank you for taking care of my fiancée,” said Wang Teng right after.

“Fiancée?!” Everyone was flabbergasted.

Isah’s face looked as white as paper. There was fear in his eyes.

A celestial martial warrior called Xue Fei regained his composure and quickly replied, “You’re too polite. We are a team; it’s only right to help each other. Besides, Lin Chuhan plays a significant role in our team. She was really helpful during our mission.”

As expected of a team leader; he spoke eloquently, neither denying the team’s role nor neglecting to mention Lin Chuhan’s strong points.

This would make the hero feel some gratitude towards them, even if it was just a favorable impression; that would be enough.

At the same time, offending Lin Chuhan never crossed his mind. If he said she was of no help, wouldn’t it be like denying her value?

Based on the young woman’s relationship with Wang Teng, offending her wouldn’t do them any good.

Furthermore, their team could take this opportunity to climb higher, if they could keep Lin Chuhan on their side.

Even if they were just unimportant figures, it was good enough.

A little benefit offered by someone like the young earl was enough to produce immeasurable benefits for them.

This was the sorrow of an ordinary martial warrior!

“Looks like this experience was really beneficial for you.” Wang Teng glanced at Lin Chuhan and smiled.

Lin Chuhan raised her chin and said proudly, “Of course, I’m already at the sixth level of the planetary stage.”

“The sixth level of the planetary stage? Not bad!” He was surprised.

He didn’t have the time to use his Real Eye to check his fiancée’s cultivation just then. When he finally did, he realized that her cultivation had indeed risen greatly, compared to the past.

Lin Chuhan was delighted by Wang Teng’s praises. However, she remained calm and composed on the surface. Such an attitude made her look a bit cute in the hero’s eyes.

Every lady was cute and arrogant in their own way!

Wang Teng smiled, opting not to expose her. He then said to Xue Fei and the rest, “If there’s nothing else, we’ll be taking our leave.”

“All right, all right!” The young mercenaries nodded fervently, not even daring to mention the gathering again.

They knew that Lin Chuhan had rejected them so she could spend more time with the young hero. It would be foolish to impose and become the proverbial third wheel at this point.

“I will send everyone a small gift later. Take it as my way of thanking you,” Wang Teng said.

It’s here!

Xue Fei and the others were elated. However, they went through the motions of refusing at first. “You don’t have to do this. Lin Chuhan is our teammate; it is our duty to help each other.”

“And I appreciate this. Just consider it as a small gesture.” The young earl smiled. Before they could try to reject a second time, he waved a hand and took Lin Chuhan to the flying rune car parked in the distance.

Xue Fei, Isah, and the others watched as they boarded the vehicle and disappeared in the sky. Then, they looked away to exchange glances, overwhelmed by disbelief.

“Sigh~” All of them sighed.

Xue Fei wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with lingering fear, “Earl Wang’s aura is really pressurizing. I couldn’t breathe properly.”

“Yes, that was a scary aura. He doesn’t feel like a celestial warrior,” Du Wa said.

“He’s an earl of the empire who’s not even afraid to go head to head against the Crown Prince. The most shocking of all, the empire even rewarded him for it; he’s not like us.” Xue Fei shook his head.

A young planetary stage warrior said, “An earl. I don’t even dare to think about this.”

Another planetary warrior chimed in, “I didn’t expect Lin Chuhan to have this connection. Still, I knew she was extraordinary.”

Xue Fei said angrily, “Come on, we just thought she was a direct descendant of one of planet Yuming’s elite families. Who could have guessed she had this identity? It’s scary. Earl Wang is the overlord of the entire Yulan Galaxy. He’s much more powerful than the elite families.”

The female mercenaries gathered and discussed happily. “I wonder what small gifts he’ll prepare for us? I’m getting excited.”

Just then, Xue Fei noticed the silent Isah; he had yet to speak until that point. He could only look at the latter with pity. Poor fellow, why did he have to fall for someone who’s not even in the same world as him, let alone the fact she’s already engaged to someone else?
