News that Wang Teng was back in Donghai spread quickly.
All the factions were already paying close attention to him, especially since the majority of them learned the result of the Global Exchange Conference.
The Global Exchange Conference was an important event for martial warriors. A person who could defeat the talents of the other nations already possessed great potential. Many people had already regarded Wang Teng as a rising formidable warrior.
The Zhou family.
Zhou Baiyun had brought Wang Teng’s news back home. The Zhou family immediately gathered together for a family meeting. Most of the family members were present, including Grandpa Zhou, Zhou Weiqiang, and many others.
“Did you say that Wang Teng has become the chief commander of the Black Sparrow Troop?” Zhou Baiyun’s second brother, Zhou Shaohui, asked with wide eyes.
The other people were looking at Zhou Baiyun too. They couldn’t believe the news she brought back.
“Wang Teng told it himself when Governor Jiang offered him a government position. I think it’s real,” Zhou Baiyun said. The young man’s figure flashed in her mind.
“Erm…” The Zhou family gasped. They were at a loss for words.
‘Wang Teng was so young. He wasn’t even 19 years old!
A19-year-old chief commander!
It was hard to believe.
But since Governor Jiang was present, Wang Teng wouldn’t lie to him. This meant that it was the truth.
“It looks like we underestimated him.”
“Wang Teng has a huge potential, and his background is amazing too!”
“That’s right. How can he get such an important position at his age without anyone supporting him?”
‘There was a huge commotion. Everyone started discussing in amazement.
“Quiet!” Grandpa Zhou knocked on the table loudly.
Everyone shut up and looked at Grandpa Zhou.
“Dad, how should we handle this issue?” Zhou Weiqiang frowned and asked.
“ll bring Little Yun with me to congratulate them tomorrow,” Grandpa Zhou said.
Zhou Weiqiang glanced at Zhou Baiyun. He nodded and said, “That’s good. The Wang family is getting more and more powerful. We should get off our high horses and befriend them.”
“Grandpa, why don’t I go with you?” Zhou Shaohui smiled and asked.
“Don’t create trouble,” Grandpa Zhou said angrily.
“Ican make friends with him. We are of similar age, so we might have some shared interests,” Zhou Shaohui continued.
“Oh, you know that you’re his peer? Look at you. Besides pleasure and excitement, what do you know? He’s a martial warrior, the chief commander of a troop. Why would he share your interests? What a joke!” Grandpa Zhou got angrier as he talked. He snorted and said, “Stay at home. Don’t go anywhere.”
Zhou Shaohui turned red and white in anger. He felt awkward. Grandpa Zhou had scolded him in front of so many people, making him embarrassed.
But it was Grandpa Zhou. As his grandson, he didn’t dare to talk back.
Zhou Baiyun’s eldest brother, Zhou Shaoan, wanted to say something, but he decided to keep quiet after seeing Zhou Shaohui get scolded.
It made sense. Wang Teng was a formidable martial warrior and the chief commander of a troop. On the other hand, he had achieved his position because he was the third generation of the Zhou family. He had nothing worth boasting in front of Wang Teng. The other party might not even glance at him if
he went.
The Zhou family wasn’t the only family in Donghai. The other families were getting restless too. All of them prepared their gifts to congratulate Wang Teng.
At night, Wang Teng accompanied his family for dinner and stayed with them for a while longer. Lin Chuhan got up and wanted to leave.
Li Xiumei asked Wang Teng to send her home.
The street lights shone down on a newly paved road, shining on them and casting long shadows. The two of them walked side by side.
The surroundings were quiet. Only their footsteps echoed softly.
After some time, Lin Chuhan opened her mouth and asked, “You’re leaving tomorrow?”
“Yes. I have an important matter. I have to leave,” Wang Teng replied. Suddenly, he sniggered. “You don’t want me to leave?”
“No. I’m helping my uncle and auntie to ask. They were missing you when you weren’t around.” Lin Chuhan’s heart jumped. She tried her best to remain indifferent.
“Oh… is that it?” Wang Teng emphasized his words. Then, he stopped and leaned towards Lin Chuhan, giving her a mysterious smile.
“What are you doing?!” Lin Chuhan was shocked. She almost bumped into his chest.
“Nothing. I haven’t seen you in a while, so I want to take a good look at you.” Wang Teng smiled.
Lin Chuhan noticed his cheeky expression, but his gaze was serious. He seemed sincere about etching her face in his heart. Her heart pounded furiously.
He must have had a difficult time!
He had earned all the abilities and power he had today through his hard work.
Lin Chuhan’s heart softened. She stared at Wang Teng absentmindedly.
Just like that, the two of them stood on the small path and stared into each other’s eyes. A faint emotion was intertwining around them.
Wang Teng stepped closer gradually. His scorching breath landed on Lin Chuhan’s face.
Lin Chuhan seemed to know what was going to happen. Her heart was beating like a drum, and she clenched her fists nervously. Her eyelashes were trembling slightly.
She didn’t evade
Finally, their lips touched
After some time, Wang Teng finally stopped unwillingly. He looked at Lin Chuhan and smiled. “You’re mine now.”
Lin Chuhan blushed. She rolled her eyes and said, “I knew you were up to no good!”
Before Wang Teng could reply, she walked away.
“You still allowed me to.” Wang Teng laughed as he caught up with her. He walked backward as he stared at Lin Chuhan’s face joyfully. He loved to see her getting embarrassed.
“I didn’t allow it. Someone’s skin is so thick that I can’t chase him away,” Lin Chuhan glared at him and replied.
“Hahaha, how can I get a girlfriend if my skin isn’t thick enough?” Wang Teng laughed proudly. He then held her hand and walked forward.
Lin Chuhan walked a little slower, looking at his back view. A smile appeared at the edge of her lips uncontrollably.
This feels… not bad!
Wang Teng sent Lin Chuhan home. When Mother Lin and Lin Chuxia saw them holding hands, they understood immediately.
Lin Chuhan felt embarrassed when her mother stared at them elatedly.
“Wang Teng, when did you come back?” Mother Lin greeted Wang Teng enthusiastically with a smile. She urged him to come in.
“Tjust got back today,” Wang Teng replied.
“Have a meal with us tomorrow.”
“Auntie, I have something on tomorrow. I need to leave immediately,” Wang Teng replied helplessly.
“Mom, Wang Teng is the chief commander of the Black Sparrow Troop now. He needs to go for the handover.” Lin Chuhan helped him explain.
“Chief commander!” Mother Lin was flabbergasted. She continued hurriedly, “Your business is important. We can always have a meal another day.”
“Alright, T’ll come another day,” Wang Teng smiled and replied.
He stayed with the Lin family for some time before leaving…
