Chapter 1045: Senior Brother Cao, Are Y’all Unwilling To Leave? (1)
Wang Teng’s baron ceremony ended amid a huge commotion. The ceremony seemed simple, but it was dignified and stately.
This was the power of the Great Qian Empire. Even a simple baron ceremony was interesting to watch.
The ceremony today undoubtedly left a deep expression on everyone’s heart. Wang Teng’s potential was etched in their minds, not just the female martial warriors.
In an instant, Wang Teng’s baron ceremony became a hot topic in the city. Countless people discussed it happily.
The news continued spreading, reaching numerous life planets through various channels.
Information traveled quickly in the universe. There was also the virtual universe. The news was no longer constrained to one planet.
Of course, Wang Teng didn’t know all these. He left the Great Qian Palace with the nobles.
“Baron Wang Teng, your ceremony has ended. We’ll wait to drink your congratulatory wine!” an old baron laughed and said.
“That’s right. This is a happy affair. We’ll definitely come and mooch a drink off you.” The barons didn’t act arrogant because of their status. All of them were talking with smiles on their faces.
The grand dukes didn’t join them. As grand dukes, all of them had their pride and ego. They wouldn’t bootlick him just because he had high talent.
Even if they wanted to pull Wang Teng over, they would use other methods such as tying their interests together.
This was a status problem. Their status was too high!
After handling all these enthusiastic nobles, Wang Teng heaved a sigh of relief.
“Baron Wang Teng!” A voice was heard.
“Guardian Ming Cheng!” Wang Teng was surprised when he saw the person.
“Your fief has been decided. The head of the chamber asked me to inform you. I’ll accompany you to claim back the Nangong Residence too,” Guardian Ming Cheng said.

“Yes. The higher authorities made the decision together. It’s not bad.” Ming Cheng smiled.
Wang Teng heaved a sigh of relief. He was worried that the Parkers would meddle in this affair and give him a fief hard to manage.
Now, it looked like they didn’t have the right to interfere.
“Shall we head to the Nangong Residence now?” Guardian Ming Cheng asked.
“Alright. Sorry to trouble you, Guardian.” Wang Teng nodded.
He didn’t have a residence even though he had been living in Great Qian City for some time. Naturally, he wished to get a place to call home quickly.
Cao Hongtu had stayed there for too long. It was time to take it back. With Ming Cheng’s help, he wouldn’t dare to pull any tricks.
“This is great!” Round Ball was even more excited than him. It started shouting in his mind.
Wang Teng smiled. Ignoring it, he headed to the Nangong Residence with Ming Cheng. He called An Lan and brought him along too.
…
Nangong Residence.
This was Wang Teng’s second time here. The previous time, he came as a guest, but now, he was the owner, the real owner!
Wang Teng stood in front of the door with a heaven-stage martial warrior standing on either side of him.
The expressions of the guards beside the door changed slightly. They didn’t dare to make any noises.
When Wang Teng walked in, the guards didn’t try to stop him.
“Are we letting him in just like this?” a guard whispered.

“Sigh, looks like it’s time for us to leave the residence.” Some guards sighed and shook their heads with complicated expressions.
They followed Cao Hongtu partly because of his ability, but the main reason was the baron’s title.
Since he had lost the title, their status dropped. Cao Hongtu was still a heaven-stage martial warrior, but this status wasn’t as powerful as a baron.
Wang Teng walked to the lobby before the Cao family appeared unwillingly. None of them was willing to leave the residence, especially Cao Hongtu’s descendants.
The Nangong Residence was a facade. They wouldn’t be able to enjoy a high-end lifestyle after leaving this place.
They stared at Wang Teng bitterly, but no one dared to say anything. They were afraid of him.
“Senior Brother Cao, have you packed up? I’m moving in today.” Wang Teng smiled when he saw Cao Hongtu.
“Wang Teng, do you have to be so heartless?” Cao Hongtu asked expressionlessly.
He had put in a lot of effort and time to get the baron’s title, but in the end, he lost to Wang Teng who came out of nowhere. Wang Teng threw a wrench in the works by snatching the baron’s title from him. He couldn’t take it lying down.
“I gave you two days to prepare. If I were heartless, I would have chased you out,” Wang Teng replied calmly. “Senior Brother Cao, are y’all unwilling to leave?”
“Wang Teng, this is too much!” Cao Guan roared angrily with bloodshot eyes.
His father was a baron-to-be, so he had been living a good life all this while. Many people were willing to curry favor with him, but everything was gone now.
When Wang Teng first came, Cao Guan was all high and mighty. He showed contempt towards him, and now, he was getting chased out of his house like a dog.
The difference was too big. He couldn’t accept it.
All this was because of Wang Teng.
You could imagine how much he hated Wang Teng.

Cao Guan’s face turned pale. Beside anger, he felt fear creeping up his heart too. He took a few steps back involuntarily.
