Wang Teng didn't have to wait too long. The aristocratic elders who received the news quickly rushed to the Aristocratic Council.
One runic origin energy flying car after another stopped outside the Aristocrat's Chamber. Then, figures with powerful auras stepped out of the car and strode into the Chamber.
Many people gathered around the Aristocratic Council after hearing the news. There were those who came to watch the show and those who came to inquire about the news, but these people didn't dare to come within a hundred meters of the Aristocratic Council.
The Aristocratic Council of the Empire was an extremely sacred place in the Empire. Not to mention ordinary warriors, even the aristocrats didn't dare to step on it, let alone make a ruckus in front of its door.
At this time, a flying car descended from the sky. A 30-year-old brown-haired man walked down from the car. It was the one from the Cao family.
"It's Cao Guan!"
"He actually came!"
"As the other main character of this matter, how could he not come?"
"I heard that his father, Domain Lord Cao Hongtu, is cultivating on another planet. I'm afraid he won't be able to make it in time, so he's in charge now."
…
The people outside were discussing this matter in low voices. They were discussing this matter enthusiastically.
For ordinary warriors, the affairs of the aristocrats had always been the focus of attention. After all, the aristocrats enjoyed too much preferential treatment. Whether it was jealousy or envy, everyone would subconsciously pay attention to it.
Cao Guan heard these discussions and snorted coldly. He strode into the Aristocratic Council.
In the hall of the Aristocratic Council, Ming Cheng opened his eyes and said indifferently, "All the elders are here. Follow me."
Wang Teng calmly drank the last mouthful of tea before standing up and following behind Ming Cheng.
This made Ming Cheng even more surprised. What kind of trump card did this brat have to be so fearless? Or was it because he didn't know what the Aristocratic Council meant? The ignorant were fearless?
Wang Teng followed Ming Cheng directly to the ninth floor of the Aristocratic Council and entered a huge ancient hall.
Entering the hall, the first thing that caught his eyes was a long table made of an unknown dark blue wood. It looked thick and heavy.
At this moment, the table was filled with people. Were there men and women?
Old and young?
They were all wearing purple robes. Luxurious and noble?
Their faces had an innate sense of self-restraint and nobility.
More importantly?
These people all had powerful auras, far exceeding the universe level?
Just by sitting there and not doing anything, he could make people's hearts palpitate.
This was the pressure of an expert!
When Wang Teng walked into the hall?
These people were all looking at him?
The meaning in his eyes was unclear, and a faintly discernible pressure enveloped him.
"Whoa, what a big lineup!" Wang Teng couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
His footsteps didn't stop at all, as if he wasn't affected at all.
His expression was incomparably calm.
Everyone could not help but reveal a trace of surprise in their eyes.
This young man was something!
"These are the nobles of the Empire?
He has an ancient family behind him. His status is extraordinary and he has great power. Be careful later. "Yuan Gungun reminded him in his mind.
Wang Teng suddenly noticed an extremely hostile gaze landing on him.
And it didn't move away.
Following his gaze, he saw the end of the long table.
A handsome brown-haired man was looking at him coldly.
"Who is this person?" Wang Teng asked in his mind.
"I don't know either!" Yuan Gungun sized up the man and was suddenly stunned, "But he looks familiar?
He can't be that fellow's descendant right? "
"Please sit!" At this time, a slightly old voice resounded from the head of the table.
Wang Teng looked up.
A white haired old man sat at the head of the table?
His gaze was calm as he looked at him.
"This is the elder of the council!" Yuan Gungun said, "Back then when I followed Master Nan Gong to the council to inherit his title, I saw him once?
I didn't expect that after so many years, he still hasn't died. "
"How could such a strong warrior die so easily." Wang Teng directly ignored Yuan Gungun's ridicule. He used his Spirit Vision to look at the old man, but he couldn't see through his strength.
This old man was probably a sector lord level warrior.
Wang Teng discovered that there was an empty seat at the end of the long table, right across from the brown haired man. He walked over and sat down, staring straight at him.
"…" Cao Guan was stunned.
This kid didn't know who he was?
He was so fearless!
Who gave him the courage? Who gave him the courage?
Cao Guan's gaze became even darker, but he had already retracted his gaze. Staring at each other was too embarrassing.
Wang Teng laughed coldly in his heart.
Wasn't it just a competition of gazes?
Who was afraid of who!
As long as he didn't feel awkward, others would feel awkward.
Wang Teng's actions were naturally seen by others. Many revealed looks of interest, but some frowned.
"You're here for Baron Nan Gong's title?" At this time, the white haired old man at the head of the table asked.
"Yes." Wang Teng nodded.
In front of this suspected sector lord level warrior, he was still very honest. He didn't reveal any of the arrogance he had when facing Cao Guan.
This wasn't cowardice, this was respect for the strong!
"Then what identity are you using to come here?" The white haired old man asked.
"Naturally as the successor." Wang Teng said indifferently.
Hearing the words successor, Cao Guan's expression changed. He glanced at the head of the table.
"Oh, do you have proof?" The white haired old man asked again.
"Elder, he has Baron Nan Gong's seal." Ming Cheng said from the side.
When Wang Teng heard this, he took out the seal and placed it on the table.
When Cao Guan saw the seal, his eyes turned red.
The baron seal was the symbol of status. They didn't have the baron seal, and only had the identity of Nangong Yue's disciple. It wasn't legitimate.
All along, this had been a huge worry for him and his father!
Now, the Baron's seal was right in front of him!
It was a pity that he couldn't snatch it.
The most painful thing in the world was this ….. so angry!
What kind of people were present? They only needed one look to determine that the seal in front of them was the Empire's baron seal.
No matter whether Wang Teng's identity as the successor was real or not, the baron seal was at least real. This added another layer of halo to Wang Teng's identity.
"What do you all think?" The white haired old man said indifferently.
Everyone was silent. It was as if no one wanted to be the first to speak.
Cao Guan's expression was gloomy. He wanted to say something but stopped.
"Cao Guan, what do you think?" The white haired old man directly called his name and asked directly.
Cao Guan glanced at Wang Teng with a mocking smile on his face as he said, "Elder, I think that this person's background is unknown. Maybe he was just lucky and got my grandmaster's baron seal from somewhere. Then, he claimed to be his successor. I hope that the Aristocrat Council can give an order to investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Excuse me, I want to ask, who are you?" Wang Teng interrupted him and asked.
Cao Guan felt that he was being looked down upon. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He said, "My father is Baron Nangong's only disciple, Cao Hongtu! Naturally, I am Baron Nangong's grand disciple. "
"So it's a grandson." Wang Teng said.
"…" Cao Guan's anger, which had just calmed down, could not help but erupt again. He coldly snorted and said to the people around him, "Sirs, my father is the only disciple of Baron Nangong. Nominally, my father is the rightful successor, and not just anyone can become the successor because they have the Baron's seal."
"Cao Guan is right. If anyone can claim to be the successor just because they have the baron seal, then wouldn't our Qian Empire's title be a joke?"
"Nominally, Cao Hongtu is definitely more suitable."
"This matter needs to be discussed at length!"
When everyone heard Cao Guan's words, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Cao Guan looked at Wang Teng with a proud expression.
"Bullsh * t! Bullsh * t! Master Nangong never said that he wanted to inherit the title to Cao Hongtu. He has no right. " Yuan Gungun roared in Wang Teng's mind. If it weren't for the last bit of rationality he had left, he would have jumped out and argued with Cao Guan.
"Don't get too worked up. This is just the beginning." Wang Teng picked his ear and sneered in his heart. He said to Yuan Gungun in his mind.
It seemed that Wang Teng's calm tone gave Yuan Gungun confidence. He gradually calmed down and said coldly, "Wang Teng, slap his face for me. I'm ninety percent sure that Cao Hongtu has something to do with Master Nangong's death. This kid in front of you is his son. Collect some interest from him first."
Wang Teng waited for Cao Guan to finish speaking with great interest. He turned to the cabinet elder and said, "Can I ask a few questions?"
"Of course!" The white-haired elder nodded.
"I want to ask, is there a rule in the Empire that states that a Baron's disciple can inherit the title without a will?" Wang Teng asked with a faint smile.
"There is no such rule!" The white-haired elder said.
"I also want to ask, did Baron Nangong leave a will for your father to inherit the title?" Wang Teng looked at Cao Guan and asked.
Cao Guan's expression suddenly changed.
"Are you not going to answer my question?" Wang Teng tilted his head and stared at him with a threatening gaze.
Cao Guan's expression darkened.
"Is there a will?" Wang Teng asked with a calm expression.
Cao Guan was extremely sullen, but he couldn't answer directly.
Originally, Nangong Yue didn't have any other relatives or successors. As his only disciple, Cao Hongtu was the heir. It was up to him to decide if there was a will or not. Cao Hongtu pulled many strings and finally received a lot of votes from the cabinet and obtained the title of temporary Baron.
As long as he made enough contributions, he would be able to remove the word 'temporary' and obtain the real title of Baron.
However, now that Wang Teng suddenly appeared with the Baron's seal, the lack of a will became Cao Hongtu's biggest problem.
"Baron Nangong didn't leave a will." The white-haired elder glanced at Cao Guan and said.
"I understand. Thank you, cabinet elder, for your explanation." Wang Teng nodded. Then, he turned and glanced at Cao Guan. He asked calmly, "In that case, where did you get your so-called 'right and proper'?"
"You!" Cao Guan's face was ashen. He stared at Wang Teng as if he wanted to eat him alive.
