w.a.n.g Teng’s sudden words left Shouzang Caiyun slightly stunned.
At that moment, Yizang Xinnuo opened the door once again and walked out, casting a somewhat awkward glance at w.a.n.g Teng.
This guy almost saw her completely exposed!
No, he had seen pretty much everything he could.
Growing up, no man had managed to take such advantage of her.
Before, she and Shouzang Caiyun had agreed that after taking a bath, Shouzang Caiyun would come to her room for a chat. Given the coincidental timing of w.a.n.g Teng’s arrival, she hadn’t thought much and directly opened the door.
That was how the scene happened.
She understood it wasn’t the fault of the other party, but she was still a woman, and such situations naturally made her feel extremely embarra.s.sed.
However, as she glanced at Shouzang Caiyun standing beside her, her facial expression immediately returned to normal.
She didn’t want Shouzang Caiyun to notice anything.
w.a.n.g Teng, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but marvel at women’s incredible talent in handling such situations. Their ability to change their expressions so quickly was astonis.h.i.+ng.
Shouzang Caiyun, unaware of Yizang Xinnuo’s discomfort, looked at w.a.n.g Teng and asked, “What happened? Why the urgency?”
“What’s going on?” Yizang Xinnuo also noticed that something was off and quickly inquired.
“It’s about the ident.i.ty of that black-horned youth. It’s best if you inform the family heads about it,” w.a.n.g Teng said.
He didn’t have the contact information for those family heads. Otherwise, he would have contacted them directly without involving Yizang Xinnuo.
In terms of influence, they were likely insufficient.
From this perspective, those family heads regarded w.a.n.g Teng as a junior rather than an equal peer.
This wasn’t surprising. They were the helmsmen of the five major families, wielding immense power. w.a.n.g Teng, despite being a grandmaster figure, found it challenging to stand on equal footing with them.
The fact that Yizang Xinnuo and the others treated him well was already a considerable show of respect.
“Alright!” Yizang Xinnuo, understanding that it involved the ident.i.ty of the black-horned youth, knew there must be hidden details. Without hesitation, she led the two into the room and contacted Yizang Bai.
A light screen appeared, and the figure of Yizang Bai materialized.
Her expression didn’t look very pleasant at the moment, evidently feeling quite troubled about the matter concerning the black-horned youth.
“What’s the matter? Xinnuo!”
However, when she saw Yizang Xinnuo, she remained patient and asked.
“Aunt, Brother Han has something to discuss with you all,” Yizang Xinnuo said.
“Oh, what’s the matter? Please, go ahead and speak,” Yizang Bai’s interest was piqued, looking at w.a.n.g Teng with a smile.
“Family Head Yizang, are the other four family heads with you?” w.a.n.g Teng didn’t rush to explain but asked.
“Yes!” Yizang Bai was somewhat puzzled but nodded.
“Then I’ll get straight to the point,” w.a.n.g Teng said. “Flow much do you all know about the ident.i.ty of the black-horned youth?”
“Is there any other ident.i.ty besides being the young master of the Black Skull Universe Pirates?” Hengzang Chuan’s figure appeared beside her, asking with a serious expression.
As family heads, they were all smart and they could naturally glean some clues from w.a.n.g Teng’s words.
“That’s right! I suspect he’s from the Heishan Royal Clan,” w.a.n.g Teng nodded. “Hengzang Chuan!” Hengzang Chuan’s expression changed slightly.
At the same time, there were a few shocked voices around him, indicating that the other family heads were also astonished by this news.
The Heishan Royal Clan, one of the pinnacle races in the universe – how could they not be familiar with it?
However, the problem was that the black-horned youth was a member of the Black Skull Universe Pirates. How did he become related to the extremely mysterious Heishan Royal Clan?
If w.a.n.g Teng hadn’t just helped them out significantly, these family heads might have already rebuked him for speaking nonsense.
“Young friend, are you sure he is from the Heishan Royal Clan?” Yunzang Ying appeared on the light screen, rubbing his temples as he asked.
“I’m about 80% sure,” w.a.n.g Teng replied casually.
He didn’t say that he was 100% certain. If they asked how he knew, he couldn’t say he obtained the Heishan Royal Clan’s talent from picking up attributes, right?
He only told them because he didn’t want his previous efforts to go in vain. It would be helpful for them to be psychologically prepared and take some other precautions.
As for whether the five families believed it or not, it didn’t matter much to him.
If things went south, he could just leave and report back to the Stellar Academies. Who would dare to harm him then?
Moreover, the person who confronted the black-horned youth was Flan Zhu, and w.a.n.g Teng had no direct involvement.
The expressions of Hengzang Chuan and the others became extremely serious. They were now inclined to believe w.a.n.g Teng’s words.
If the black-horned youth was indeed from the Heishan Royal Clan, their troubles would be considerable.
“Thank you for the reminder, young friend. We will make preparations. If our Five Burial Stars can overcome this crisis, we will certainly express our grat.i.tude,” Hengzang Chuan said.
“You’re too polite,” w.a.n.g Teng replied with a smile.
The light screen disappeared, and Hengzang Chuan and the others didn’t waste time on pleasantries. They were eager to confirm the ident.i.ty of the black-horned youth and formulate countermeasures.
They were initially planning to resist stubbornly, but if the black-horned youth was truly from the Heishan Royal Clan, their situation would become much more complicated.
“Is that black-horned youth truly from the Heishan Royal Clan?” Yizang Xinnuo asked with a worried expression..
