1607 Return to Planet Yuming! (2)
Someone right by the experts shouted all of a sudden, Hes here!
Zhuang Weize was surprised. Then, he turned serious and raised his head to look at the sky.
A gigantic universe spacecraft entered planet Yumings atmosphere, traveling fast and growing bigger in everyones eyes. The craft only took a few breaths to hover right above them and gradually land on the dock.
Gasp... an eternal-level spacecraft from the military! Several exclamations were heard non stop.
All the vessels of the military had a special symbol. Their models could be found easily online.
Eternal-rank ships were rare, but there were records with their specs and styles.
This made them easily recognizable.
The incoming ship was enormous. Even though it was a few hundred meters in length it was considered among the small-sized category.
The governor looked bewildered. Even at his level, he had only seen this kind of ship a few times. To think that the military would use such a high-class spacecraft to send Earl Wang Teng back. This was proof that they held the young hero in high regard.
Actually, the planets overseer had his own guesses when he heard that the empire had conferred Wang Teng the title of earl.
However, he didnt know that the empire valued the hero this much.
However, it wasnt the moment to think about this. He quickly led his men forward.
The cabin door was gradually opened and a bunch of soldiers alighted. They were extremely cautious as they quickly spread out, watching their surroundings with vigilance.
Most of them were at the celestial stage. There were even some that were of cosmos-stage cultivation.
Zhuang Weize and the others were stunned by the arrangement. A tinge of astonishment flashed past their eyes.
Then, they saw a young man walking down the vessel, encircled by a few figures protecting him. They were in military attire and had powerful auras. One look was enough to tell they were beyond the cosmos stage.
One of them in particular. Even the governor felt the pressure from that expert.
Universe stage!
Zhuang Weize was flabbergasted. The military sent a universe stage warrior to protect Earl Wang. What kind of treatment is this?
He took a deep breath to calm down before striding forward to welcome the youth.
Earl Wang! The governor bowed with respect, not daring to be negligent about it.
Governor Zhuang. Wang Teng nodded calmly when he saw them.
Earl Wang, welcome back, said the former with a smile.
Youre too polite. Why make all this fuss? Others might think that some important character is here, the hero teased.
Youre the overlord of our Yulan Galaxy. Its our job to welcome you back; it would stand as a dereliction of duty if we didnt, Zhuang Weize replied hurriedly.
The young hero smiled. The governor had become even more respectful and careful than before. It seemed that his new noble status had caused many changes.
He exchanged some pleasantries with him before noticing Wu Xingyun and the others. He smiled and said, Its been a while since we last met.
Wu Xingyun, Old Han, and the others had gradually stepped into the greater universe, so they understood how noble and mighty Wang Tengs status was. None of them dared to be as friendly as before.
They thought they had many things to say to him at first. But, they didnt know where to begin when they saw him.
The hero noticed their expressions and smiled. This isnt the place to talk. Lets chat when we get home.
Right, lets head back first, Zhuang Weize agreed.
The immense group exited the space dock with great fanfare and headed to Wang Tengs manor. The soldier detachment stayed closely behind him, scanning their surroundings with zeal.
The hero reached his home after some time passed.
Wang Teng turned to address the universe stage warrior who had been protecting him in silence a few steps behind, General Wei, thank you for escorting me home. I have arranged your lodging so you can stay here temporarily. Ill head to the academy once Im done with some personal matters.
That was the person the military had appointed for his protection!
All right. Call me if you need anything. General Wei nodded and followed the servant to his chamber.
The soldiers scattered across the manor, protecting the inner perimeter.
Zhuang Weize and the others were even more astounded by such deployment.
Earl Wang, well take our leave now.
After making all the necessary arrangements, the governor prepared to leave with his men. He knew that his young superior had many things to say to Wu Xingyun and the elders.
All right, I will look for you in a while regarding territorial matters, said Wang Teng with a nod.
Yes! Zhuang Weize was quick to reply. Oh right, we have prepared a welcoming banquet for this evening. Do you think...
Youre too polite. The hero smiled and pointed his finger at them. He was in a dilemma, but after seeing their looks of anticipation, he conceded. OK, Ill be there.
Those people were the family heads of planet Yumings elite families; their power stretched far and wide and they were still useful to the young hero. He didnt mind accepting their kind favor and flattery.
Sometimes, accepting your subordinates kind gestures was a way to get close to them and make them feel at ease.
Their imaginations could run wild if you didnt give them a chance to curry favor with you.
Well await your presence. Zhuang Weize heaved a sigh of relief and left with his retinue.
Once they left, Wang Teng was finally able to speak with Wu Xingyun and the rest.
Dont you recognize me? Why arent you talking? He smiled.
Youve changed a lot. We dont dare talk to you anymore. Old Han sighed.
No matter how much I change, Im still me. The hero smiled. We are a family. Theres no need for any distance between us.
Oh right, wheres Lin Chuhan and Dan Taixuan? I dont see them.
Wu Xingyun replied, Lin Chuhan joined a mercenary team and is on a mission right now. Dan Taixuan went out to explore the universe; I dont know where she is at the moment.
Wang Teng nodded. He left a clone with Lin Chuhan but it was dormant; it would only be activated if she met any danger. Hence, he couldnt sense where she was, or what she was going through.
As for Dan Taixuan, he wasnt worried. She was a warrior who had gone through the toughest times on Earth. She was anything but ordinary.
The group warmed up after chatting for some time, finding their sense of familiarity again. Everyone laughed and talked happily.
I didnt expect you to take the top position in the League of Talents. Earth has just entered the vast universe network and we already have a genius like you. This is incredible. It feels like a dream. Commander Hong felt emotional.
Thats right. We thought that getting one of the top 1000 positions would be good enough, but you defeated everyone and got first place. Whats more, you entered the Star Rankings too. We underestimated your talent. Wu Xingyun shook his head.
Hahaha, I knew that he was different when I met him in Donghai. He dared to face the Windstorm Giant Ape even though he was much weaker. Old Han laughed, feeling that he had great foresight.
Hong Tianshi (Commander Hongs full name) exposed him, Come on, I heard that you got beaten up badly when you fought with the Windstorm Giant Ape. You didnt have the time to look at Wang Teng.
F**k, stop framing me. I almost lost my life for the sake of Donghai. Who spread the rumor? Old Han was furious.
Everyone burst out laughing.
Wang Teng, given your achievements, the people on Earth will have an easier time in the greater universe, Wu Xingyun said seriously, Let me thank you on their behalf!
He bowed at the hero after he finished speaking.
Theres no need for this. Wang Teng hurriedly helped him up and looked him in the eye. He said in earnest, You dont have to thank me. Im an earthling, too; I hope the Earth will continue to rise. Dont treat me like an outsider.
