Wang Teng had already taken his seat.
Behind the two rows of seats, there were many small tables for the younger generation. Wang Teng sat at the table behind Göring.
He glanced at Lord Yang discreetly. He saw that Lord Yang's facial features were well-defined and he looked dignified. He had a dignified aura.
He could also tell that Lord Yang looked similar to Li Rongxue.
At this moment, a few guests cupped their fists at Göring from afar.
The young people behind the guests couldn't help but look at Wang Teng. They were very curious about the identity of this young man who came with Göring.
"President Göring, who's this young man behind you?" Lord Yang asked.
"He's a disciple that I just accepted. His name is Wang Teng," Göring said.
Lord Yang was very easy-going and didn't put on airs. He smiled and said, "President Göring accepted Wang Teng as a disciple. You must be very talented."
"Lord Yang, you flatter me. He's just a little talented. It's not worth mentioning," Göring said humbly.
As they chatted, more guests arrived one after another.
"President of the Alchemy Guild is here!"
"Master of the Su Family is here!"
"Lord of Yang City is here!"
"Master of the Wan Family is here!"
…
They were all big shots in Yang City. After they came in, they all congratulated Lord Yang.
"Greetings, Lord Yang. Congratulations on curing the poison and regaining your strength!" Master of the Su Family bowed and said.
"You're welcome. Master of the Su Family, please take a seat," Lord Yang said with a smile.
"Su Lingyun greets Lord Yang!"
"Su Lingxuan greets Lord Yang!"
Two beautiful girls behind Master of the Su Family bowed to Lord Yang at the same time.
"My nieces are getting more and more beautiful!" Lord Yang praised.
"Congratulations on your recovery, Lord Yang!" Master of the Wan Family didn't want to be outdone. He quickly went forward and cupped his fists.
"Master of the Wan Family, please take a seat," Lord Yang said with a smile.
"Wan Feifeng greets Your Highness." A young woman in her twenties standing behind the head of the Wan Clan bowed.
"Niece Wan, you're here too. You've become so beautiful after all these years. I wonder which family will benefit from you in the future." Lord Yang laughed out loud. Then, he asked curiously, "Oh right, why didn't the two of you come today?"
"Those two brats are always causing trouble outside. They were injured a few days ago and are still recuperating at home," Patriarch Wan said.
After exchanging some pleasantries, everyone took their seats.
Su Lingxuan saw Göring and Wang Teng at a glance. He informed Patriarch Su and ran to their side.
"Teacher!"
"Senior Brother!"
"Have a seat," Göring said with a smile.
Su Lingxuan winked at Wang Teng and then sat down beside him.
When Su Lingyun saw this, she couldn't help but frown. A hint of jealousy appeared on her pretty face.
Wan Feifeng glanced at Wang Teng discreetly. She already knew that Wan Feiyu and Wan Feipeng were injured by Wang Teng. A cold glint flashed across her eyes.
More and more people arrived. Wang Teng saw Shu Hongye and Tan Shasha. The two girls nodded at him and Su Lingxuan before sitting down in their respective seats.
"The Principal of the Yang City Academy is here!"
A burly old man with white hair and a beard walked over. Behind him were a young man and a young woman.
"Principal Yang is here!" Lord Yang stood up to welcome him.
The Principal of the Yang City Academy received the same treatment as Göring.
Among all the guests, only the two of them were welcomed by Lord Yang personally.
This surprised Wang Teng. In his opinion, the Principal of the Yang City Academy must have an extremely high status. He might even be higher than Göring. He didn't expect Lord Yang to treat them as equals.
"Congratulations on your recovery, Lord Yang," Principal Yang said.
"You're too kind, Principal Yang." Lord Yang personally led him to the first seat on the right. It was right across from Göring.
"Dongfang Yu greets Lord Yang."
"Yi Kaicheng greets Lord Yang."
The young man and woman behind Principal Yang bowed.
"Both of you are young talents. You've really brought honor to Yang City," Lord Yang said with satisfaction as he patted their shoulders.
"You're too kind, Lord Yang. This is what we should do!" The two of them replied.
Everyone looked at the two young men with admiration in their eyes. It was rare to see such outstanding geniuses.
"So these two young men are Principal Yang's favorite students. They're indeed extraordinary!"
"Dongfang Yu is now ranked tenth on the Gifted Ranking. I heard that her strength has improved again. She might be able to move up one or two ranks."
"Yi Kaicheng is not bad either. He's ranked 21st. He's indeed worthy of being Principal Yang to be able to nurture such talented students!"
…
The surrounding guests were impressed by Principal Yang's ability to judge people and his ability to teach them. They couldn't help but feel envious when they looked at Dongfang Yu and Yi Kaicheng, who were already powerful cultivators. It would be a great thing for the family if their disciples could achieve such achievements. What a pity …
However, these two young talents were both commoners. If they could be connected by marriage, it would be a good way to rope them in.
The eyes of the family heads lit up. They all had their own thoughts, but they were still chatting casually.
The guests finally arrived. Lord Yang stood up and raised his wine cup. "I invited all of you here today to thank all of you for taking care of Yang City when I was severely injured. I'd like to propose a toast to all of you."
He finished his cup in one gulp.
"You're too kind, Lord Yang!"
Everyone immediately stood up and drank the wine in their cups.
"Sit. Everyone, sit." Lord Yang gestured with his hands and said, "There's one more thing. Everyone knows that I was accidentally poisoned when I was hunting a poison-type star beast a few months ago. Fortunately, my daughter ran around and found the antidote for me. Otherwise, I would have died. Hence, I have to thank my daughter today."
As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful figure slowly walked over with the help of a maid.
"Rongxue, you've done such a great service. I have to reward you," Lord Yang said.
Li Rongxue bowed to Lord Yang and said softly, "Father, you're fine. This is the best reward for me."
"Hahaha, you're indeed my good daughter." Lord Yang laughed and said, "However, I still have to reward you. I'll definitely choose a good husband for you in the future. As long as you like the young talents here, I'll kidnap them for you."
"…" All the guests were speechless.
Li Rongxue's face turned slightly red. She didn't expect Lord Yang to say this at this time.
However, the young men's eyes lit up. They immediately sat up straight and puffed out their chests. They hoped that Li Rongxue would see the best side of them.
If Li Rongxue liked them, they would become Lord Yang's son-in-law. They would be able to achieve great things in the future with just a word from Lord Yang.
To put it bluntly, Lord Yang was the ruler of the entire Yang City. He also had the bloodline of the Empire. If he married Li Rongxue, he would have a meteoric rise.
This was also why Yao Yu wanted to take the risk previously. In fact, many people had similar thoughts.
At this moment, Yi Kaicheng, who was sitting behind Principal Yang, had a glint in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
