Chapter 3314

Chapter 3250: The senior was truly shrewd and calculating! (Secondary Professional Alliance Headquarters: You guys know how to promote yourselves!)

“Wait for them to come to us!”

Wang Teng’s eyes flashed, and he immediately realized.

That’s it!

This way, he could not only turn the tables but also keep the other royal family members guessing.

If they came first, he would definitely show his sincerity. Even

without revealing his trump cards, he needed to at least let them see if they had any demands.

Sometimes, he could glean clues from their words, while he could simply sit back and watch.

Various thoughts flashed through Wang Teng’s mind, and he smiled, “Senior is indeed shrewd and calculating.”

He might have thought of these things later, but he had indeed overlooked them just now.

So, if it weren’t for this Silver Knife Venerable’s reminder, he probably would have already come to us.

Old ginger is spicier!

” The Silver Knife Venerable, however

,

was both amused and exasperated by Wang Teng’s praise.

Shrewd and calculating my foot!

That sounded so unpleasant.

He couldn’t tell if Wang Teng was praising him or insulting him.

“Alright! Alright! Go on with your work.”

The Silver Knife Venerable suddenly felt tired, waved his hand, and sent Wang Teng away.

“Okay!”

Wang Teng quickly left, but before turning off the light screen, he suddenly remembered something.

“By the way, please spread the word that I’ve come looking for you, senior.”

The Silver Knife Venerable glanced at him and laughed, “You little rascal, you know how to climb the ladder.”

“Hehe!”

Wang Teng chuckled and took his leave.

Watching the light screen disappear, the smile on the Silver Knife Venerable’s face gradually faded, his expression calm, his eyes deep.

It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

He summoned Diqi and Boragu in.

“Ancestor!”

The two bowed respectfully.

“You two continue to cultivate relationships with Wang Teng in the same way as before,”

the Silver Knife Venerable said after a moment’s thought. “Try to fulfill his requests.”

“If there are any matters you cannot decide, you can inform me directly.”

Diqi and Bolagu exchanged surprised glances.

Was their ancestor not planning to go into seclusion?

Previously, if it weren’t for the king’s sudden summons, the ancestors of the eight royal families would have been in seclusion, including their ancestor.

Since returning, their ancestor hadn’t gone into seclusion again, but instead had been waiting.

That’s why they immediately sought out their ancestor when Wang Teng came, requesting his personal intervention.

This was something he had personally instructed them to do.

They had assumed that after their conversation, their ancestor would go into seclusion again.

Who would have thought that he intended to keep a close eye on Wang Teng’s affairs?!

Did their ancestor value Wang Teng that much?

Although Wang Teng’s bestowal of a royal title was indeed extremely shocking,

and his current status, strength, and talent were enough for the Kalandish family to take him seriously,

it didn’t seem necessary for their ancestor to personally oversee things, did it?

“Ancestor, do you value Wang Teng so much?” Bolagu glanced at the Silver Knife Venerable’s expression and asked cautiously.

“It concerns our eight royal families, so we must take it seriously,” the Silver Knife Venerable said calmly.

Bolagu’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately nodded, “Understood, I will act as you instructed.”

“Spread the word about his visit today,”

the Silver Knife Venerable ordered, waving his hand, “Go!”

“Yes!”

Bolagu’s eyes flashed, his heart filled with doubt and uncertainty. Although he didn’t quite understand his ancestor’s intentions, he still nodded in agreement immediately.

Then he led Diqi out of the room.

“Father, what is the ancestor planning to do?”

Diqi asked curiously.

Is it right to spread the word about Wang Teng’s visit?

Shouldn’t this matter be kept secret?

“Perhaps the ancestor and Wang Teng have reached some kind of deal,”

Bolagu pondered.

“A deal!”

Diqi was shocked. Wang Teng could already make a deal with the ancestor?

Good heavens!

The feeling that the gap between the two sides was widening was becoming increasingly strong.

When he first met Wang Teng, he felt as if he could only look up to him from afar.

But the feeling wasn’t as intense then.

After all, he hadn’t actually seen Wang Teng in person, only briefly through a light screen.

He only knew about Wang Teng’s deeds and the fact that he had just been bestowed the title of King of the Great Qian Empire by the Emperor—all of which were merely hearsay.

Especially since the title itself hadn’t been officially confirmed.

Yet now, even their Kalandish family’s patriarch had personally transacted with Wang Teng.

That feeling seemed to have become tangible!

Diqi finally felt that thick barrier!

The other party’s status and identity far surpassed his own.

“Truly a prodigy!”

Diqi couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly, then asked, “Father, can you guess what kind of transaction it is?”

Bolagu rolled his eyes at him and said, “How could we possibly fathom the thoughts of our patriarch?”

“Should I go and ask Wang Teng?” Diqi asked.

“Absolutely not!” Boragu quickly interrupted him, saying solemnly, “We must never get involved in this matter again.”

“Just follow the Ancestor’s instructions, maintain the same good relationship with Wang Teng as before.”

Diqi’s lips twitched; this always felt somewhat hypocritical, but since the Ancestor had given the instructions, he could only nod, “Understood

. “

Inside the room aboard the Machine Race’s god-level spaceship,

Wang Teng sat in a chair, stroking his chin, lost in thought.

“Wang Teng, do you think this patriarch of the Calandish family is trustworthy?”

Roundy asked after a moment.

“Seven or eight points trustworthy,” Wang Teng pondered.

“Seven or eight points!” Roundy exclaimed in surprise, “It seems you trust him quite a bit.”

“No, you don’t understand!” Wang Teng smiled meaningfully, “It’s either 100% trust or no trust at all.”

59

“”

—

Roundy’s lips twitched, realizing he had been naive.

This is a little fox!

He suddenly realized.

What trust? It’s just a mutually beneficial arrangement.

That’s fine, at least Wang Teng won’t be easily manipulated.

“So, are we just waiting for those royals to come knocking?” Roundy asked.

“Not bad!” Wang Teng nodded and laughed, “Let’s play the fisherman and wait—for those who are willing to take the bait!”

“Willing to take the bait!” Yuan Gun Gun muttered, then chuckled, “What a fine ‘willing to take the bait’.”

“By the way, what was the second benefit you mentioned earlier?” Wang Teng changed the subject and asked again.

“This benefit shouldn’t involve so much scheming!”

Yuan Gun Gun smiled and continued, “The Deputy Professional League headquarters is planning to give you the status of an Honorary Senior.”

“Honorary Senior!”

Wang Teng’s expression changed, and he asked, “Isn’t there only Senior? What the heck is this Honorary Senior?”

He had never heard of any Honorary Senior in the Deputy Professional League headquarters!

Yuan Gun Gun said, “I checked, and this Honorary Senior is indeed a first-time occurrence; it has never existed before.”

“So, you’ve made the Deputy Professional League headquarters break a precedent.”

“Hahaha—” Wang Teng laughed triumphantly, “Am I that awesome?”

Yuan Gun Gun looked at him quietly, surprisingly not saying anything this time.

Clearly, he also felt that Wang Teng had truly pulled off an incredible feat this time.

To have the Sub-Professional Alliance headquarters change its rules and create a specific position for a particular individual—Wang Teng was the first.

Such an honor was, frankly, truly remarkable.

It was legendary!

Therefore, besides feeling moved, all that remained in Yuan Gun Gun’s heart was admiration.

“Not bad! Not bad! They actually gave me an honorary elder status.”

“They’re quite generous!”

Wang Teng laughed before asking, “What kind of authority does this honorary elder status entail?”

Yuan Gun Gun transmitted the relevant information into Wang Teng’s mind, and after he had digested it, said, “Generally speaking, only god-level sub-professionals can hold the elder status.”

“Although you’ve only been given an honorary elder status, not a proper elder,” “

you’ll enjoy all the benefits an elder can enjoy, except for the lack of significant power.”

“That’s enough for you.”

A glint flashed in Wang Teng’s eyes, and he nodded slightly.

He truly only needed the benefits.

And although he didn’t have that much power, compared to ordinary elders, his power was already greater.

Ordinary elders simply cannot compare to him, this honorary elder.

His authority completely crushes those elders.

“You are, after all, a Seventh Saint, and now you’ve avenged the Secondary Profession Alliance headquarters.”

“The Secondary Profession Alliance headquarters naturally can’t let you hold an ordinary elder position anymore.”

Roundy explained, then asked, “Should I contact the Secondary Profession Alliance headquarters immediately?”

“Contact them. At least the Secondary Profession Alliance headquarters gives me more peace of mind than the Great Qian Empire,” Wang Teng said.

“Alright, I’ll contact Elder Dan Chen right away!” Roundy didn’t hesitate and immediately began the contact.

Soon, another light screen projected.

Elder Dan Chen’s image appeared, his expression amiable, a hint of joy on his face, clearly in a good mood.

“Elder!”

Wang Teng bowed slightly.

“Wang Teng, you did very well this time.”

Elder Dan Chen immediately praised him, his tone full of admiration.

“Our Secondary Professional Alliance headquarters has really gotten its revenge this time.

“

“In the outside world’s discussions, it has finally salvaged some face.”

Wang Teng was somewhat surprised, not expecting the outside world’s opinions to change so quickly.

He knew that before, because of the Secondary Professional Alliance headquarters’ fall, many people, besides sympathizing and feeling sorry, also had some negative comments.

Many people felt that the Secondary Professional Alliance headquarters used to have such a great reputation, yet it couldn’t even stop a single invasion by the Dark Species.

Wasn’t that just empty talk?

But now, Dan Chen Yuan Lao actually said that the outside world’s comments about the Secondary Professional Alliance headquarters had improved considerably.

How could he not be surprised?

The change in public opinion was too fast.

Could something have happened that he didn’t know about?

Or perhaps other martial artists from the Secondary Professional Alliance headquarters actually participated in the battle?

Seemingly sensing Wang Teng’s surprise and confusion, Dan Chenyuan immediately explained with a smile, “It’s mainly because of you.”

“You have no idea how high your reputation is now.”

“Everyone knows you’re from our Sub-Professional Alliance headquarters. You helped those strong individuals reverse the battle and completely defeat the Dark Race. This isn’t just your achievement, it’s also the honor of our Sub-Professional Alliance headquarters.”

“Wait, is this reasonable?” Wang Teng asked incredulously, “Just because of me alone?”

“Yes, basically all because of you alone.”

Dan Chenyuan looked at him and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“From this perspective, you’ve succeeded in what we discussed last time!”

“Even with my high reputation, it shouldn’t be this bad.” Wang Teng still found it hard to believe.

He alone had changed everyone’s perception of the Sub-Professional Alliance headquarters; if word got out, how many people would believe it?

“Wang Teng, you really shouldn’t disbelieve me, Dan Chen Yuan Lao is absolutely right.”

A round, chubby voice suddenly appeared in Wang Teng’s mind, saying, “You might not know this, but now, whenever people mention you, they inevitably mention the Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters.”

“That’s a kind of deep connection!”

“Really?” Wang Teng asked suspiciously, “Why does mentioning me inevitably lead to mentioning the Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters?”

“Shouldn’t they mention my martial arts strength?”

“Hehe~ You’ll have to ask Dan Chen Yuan Lao about that.” The round, chuckled strangely, not giving him a direct answer.

“Did the Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters do something?”

Wang Teng felt helpless, but immediately thought of something and looked at Dan Chen Yuan Lao to ask.

“It’s nothing.”

Dan Chen Yuan Lao’s eyes suddenly became somewhat unfocused, and he said guiltily, “We just slightly publicized the pills we refined for you, and the relationship between what you did and the sub-profession techniques.”

Wang

Teng’s lips twitched, and he thought to himself, “Good heavens. “

The Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters, you guys know how to promote yourselves!

They even knew to link his methods to his secondary profession! Now, no one can help but think of the Secondary Profession Alliance headquarters.

Amazing!

Although he knew the Secondary Profession Alliance headquarters was going to heavily promote him, he didn’t expect them to do it this way.

He was afraid they would leak some of his secrets.

They hadn’t discussed this with him beforehand! This

made him quite annoyed!

Why are all these big powers like this?

So tiring!

“Um, it’s normal publicity! This is all normal publicity!”

Dan Chen Yuan Lao coughed and quickly said, “Don’t feel guilty, we won’t harm you, we’ll only help you.”

“This is good for us, and it’s also a huge benefit for you.”

“After all, what we secondary professionals want is fame!”

Wang Teng rolled his eyes at him, then suddenly had an idea. He feigned a wronged look and said, “Whatever you say, I can’t change anything anyway, I can only let you big powers manipulate me.”

Upon hearing this, Dan Chen Yuan Lao immediately panicked.

This was unacceptable!

If Wang Teng were to develop a grudge against them, it would be a huge loss for the Deputy Professional Alliance headquarters.

They were initially worried that Wang Teng would be dissatisfied.

However, the situation was urgent; if they were even a step too late, missing the peak of the media frenzy

, the effect of later publicity would be greatly diminished.

Unfortunately, Wang Teng was still aboard the Machine Race’s god-level spaceship at that time, and they couldn’t contact him, so they had to act on their own.

Unexpectedly, this situation has actually arisen.
