1622 I Miss You! (2)

Visiting w.a.n.g Teng to offer an apology was the main reason for their visit.

The young hero was now an earl. Their family couldn’t afford to offend him; their rise and fall was at his mercy.

Even though the latter didn’t care, they couldn’t pretend that nothing happened.

Such were the survival rules for small figures.

This was so, even if the Zhuang family was large in a certain sense.

Still, this was only the case within the influence of planet Yuming. Once they stepped out of the Yulan Galaxy, they were nothing.

The reason why those families were able to survive thus far was closely related to their cautious and careful way of living.

Zhuang Caixuan suddenly regretted helping her friend, Clara. It may be somewhat unfair to the other party, but compared to the welfare of her family, all of this was insignificant.

The governor noticed that their superior had truly let the matter to rest so he quickly said, “You are truly magnanimous, to not hold grudges against us.”

“Little Xuan, quickly, thank Earl w.a.n.g.”

Zhuang Caixuan immediately complied.

w.a.n.g Teng wasn’t affected by their praises. He replied indifferently, “You need to think carefully about these matters in the future. I am about to report to the Seven Stellar Academies, and I don’t have time to spare right now, especially with people I have no connections with.

“Yes!” Zhuang Caixuan replied sincerely. She was overwhelmed with shame.

“All right, you can leave now,” the hero said.

Zhuang Weize didn’t dare say more, quickly departing with his daughter.

The young earl shook his head once they were gone.

Round Ball appeared and asked, “Do you find them irritating?”

“A little. I’m too lazy to deal with such trivial matters,” said the former, feeling helpless.

The small helper smiled and said, “You have suddenly risen to a high position and don’t understand the troubles of the people below.”

“I won’t make things difficult for them as long as they are diligent and conscientious.”

“This needs time, you need to be patient,” said Round Ball, “However, your path lies elsewhere. You will only continue to rise in the future; the Zhuangs would only have the chance to contact your subordinates by then, as there would be no need for you to appear in person.”

w.a.n.g Teng nodded and changed the topic, “When is Lin Chuhan arriving?”

“At around 10 am tomorrow,” said the little one.

The hero nodded, then went about finis.h.i.+ng all the delicious food on the table, letting out a satisfied belch in the end.

The amount served was enough for several people, yet he actually finished it on his own. A martial warrior’s appet.i.te could be quite terrifying.

Then, he went back to his cultivation room and resumed his cultivation.

…

Zhuang Caixuan immediately contacted Clara as soon as she got home.

The virtual universe, in a luxurious reception room—

Wearing a s.e.xy dress, Clara was seated on a sofa, anxiously waiting.

The door opened abruptly and her friend walked in.

The temptress hurriedly got up to welcome her. “Little Xuan, how was it?”

“I’d rather not talk about it. Sister Clara, you really made things difficult for me this time,” Zhuang Caixuan complained, “my father took me to see him and apologize. I didn’t know that such a small thing would have such a big impact.”

“Huh?” The host was astounded. “How did it become like this?”

“We underestimated the weight of w.a.n.g Teng’s earl t.i.tle. My dad is fearful of ever offending him,” the governor’s daughter said dejectedly. She plonked on the sofa and laid down like a deflated balloon.

Her friend’s expression kept changing. In the end, she sighed and said, “The weight of an earl from the empire is indeed not something that your Zhuang family can afford to offend. I didn’t think it through and made a mistake. Little Xuan, I’m really sorry. I didn’t want things to turn out this way.

“Nevermind!” Zhuang Caixuan couldn’t bear to see the other so distraught. She waved a hand and said, “Let’s forget the matter. Earl w.a.n.g didn’t take it to heart. My dad was just too worried.”

“Little Xuan~” Clara sat down beside the latter and held her hand with a grateful look.

“Sister Clara, you made me lose face this time. How are you planning to compensate me?” said the former, suddenly flas.h.i.+ng a mischievous smile.

“How do you want me to compensate you?” said the other, responding with a seductively smile of her own, while placing her hand on Zhuang Caixuan’s chin.

The latter blushed, and the atmosphere became a little ambiguous.

Silence is golden.

… (let’s skip this part) …

After fooling around in the reception room for a while, the pair finally collapsed on the sofa, panting softly, looking like two fish caught on the sh.o.r.e. They had played too vigorously.

“Sister Clara, what about your pill?” Zhuang Caixuan’s face was pink, revealing a hint of satisfaction.

“I’ll think of a way out,” Clara replied after some contemplation. There was a s.h.i.+mmer in her eyes.

“If all else fails, I can use the connections of my family to find someone who can refine a grandmaster six-level pill for you,” said the other.

“It’s all right, I will deal with this myself. I won’t trouble you anymore.” Clara shook her head. Then, she stood up and tidied her clothes. “Little Xuan, I’ll be taking my leave now. We’ll meet again soon.”

Zhuang Caixuan laid weakly on the sofa and waved her hand gently. “All right, Sister Clara. See you soon.”
