Faced with Zhao Yucai's invitation, Wang Zheng himself felt it was unreliable, and he didn't know where the old man got his confidence from.
However, seeing the enthusiasm and expectation in the old man's eyes, Wang Zheng couldn't bring himself to refuse. In the end, he could only flee in defeat under the old man's encouraging gaze.
"Sigh, sometimes I really worry that I'll let these old folks down. Leaving aside Minister Zhao for now, there's also Elder Gu and Commander Sun in southern Beijing..."
Anyway, there's still a year left, let's take it one step at a time. Maybe the overall situation will improve by then...
Wang Zheng was wallowing in self-pity, trying to deceive himself.
Seeing his son looking dejected and seemingly unwell, Wang Shengrong unusually took the initiative to go over and ask what was wrong.
Wang Zheng could only shake his head helplessly at this.
He knew very well that although he had dodged the first day of the month, he certainly couldn't escape the fifteenth. Not to mention the distant future, when he went to Old Li to collect his reward in a couple of days, he would inevitably be met with some anticipation.
With great power comes great responsibility; this is an eternal truth in this era.
Those who demonstrate corresponding talents naturally bear pressure that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Forget it, forget it. I'll take this time to organize and plan, and try to provide them with as much information as possible. I don't have any other skills, so I'll just reveal as much inside information as I know...
Before they knew it, the three of them had walked to the entrance of their hotel.
With a heavy heart, Young Master Wang spotted Duan Zhengkai pacing anxiously back and forth at the door.
When Duan saw Wang Zheng and his two companions, especially Wang Shengrong, he was so frightened that he shrank back and hesitated whether to come up and greet them.
Although he had never met Chu Tianxing, he had seen Grandmaster Wang's face long ago.
Last year, I almost got killed by Young Master Wang because of a single sentence from this newly promoted master. Hesitating, I didn't come forward immediately, and in the blink of an eye, I saw Wang Zheng standing in front of me.
Chu Tianxing ignored the rather frail-looking young man.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it any longer, Duan Zhengkai reluctantly greeted Wang Zheng.
However, Wang Shengrong only glanced at his son before going straight upstairs. It wasn't that Master Wang was arrogant, but rather that he had genuinely forgotten about the young man he had almost killed on a whim. He simply told Wang Zheng not to cause trouble.
After the two grandmasters left, Duan Zhengkai breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, he was startled by Wang Zheng.
"What, does Young Master Duan think I'm weak and not as good as the two Grandmasters, or do you think I, Wang, am easy to talk to?"
Seeing Duan Zhengkai's face turn deathly pale in an instant, Wang Zheng felt that scaring the young master was pointless, so he directly asked:
"Get to the point, stop trembling. It's like I'm bullying you. Did you come all this way just to collect all the spiritual crystals?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengkai seemed to finally remember his purpose, and quickly reached into his pocket to take out a small wooden box, which he respectfully handed over.
Wang Zheng didn't care if there was anyone else around, and simply opened the box and glanced at it.
Wow, good heavens.
The small wooden box was filled with 20 high-level spiritual crystals.
Under the light, it was emitting a rainbow-like glow, as dazzling and beautiful as any gemstone.
Wang Zheng raised an eyebrow, then flipped his wrist and put the box away.
"Young Master Duan, this quantity isn't right. Are you trying to ask me for a favor?"
"Yes, yes, I'm fine. This is the 100 spirit crystals I owe you."
There was no other way; I simply couldn't get that many, so I had to use high-grade crystals instead. Taking into account the exchange rate and losses from trading, 100 crystals—exactly the right amount!
Little did Wang Zheng know that Duan Zhengkai had been forced into a corner, so he told his mother everything about how Wang Zheng had extorted him.
Originally, the Duan family had planned to have a serious talk with Wang Zheng, but when Wang Shengrong showed his aura and stood on the podium, his mother, Yu Yanan, left the capital and went back to Jingxiang to exchange for resources.
Seeing that Wang Zheng had activated the "Heaven and Earth Transformation" skill in the finals, she gritted her teeth and immediately switched to double the amount.
Even if one's own son is a scoundrel, he is still one's own flesh and blood. After all, there is still some connection between the two families. I am also about to transcend the mortal realm. With the contribution points from the military region, I can still gather these resources with some effort.
Even if it means suffering a loss, if it can turn my son back to the right path and prevent him from misbehaving again, it won't be too much of a loss!
The Duan family completely yielded to Wang Zheng and Wang Shengrong, as well as Li Liang, whose strength was no less than their own, which led to the current situation.
As for our young master Wang, he didn't expect Duan Zhengkai to be so shrewd, handling the matter so flawlessly.
He patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.
"Young Master Duan, you're too kind. Since that's the case, then I'll accept it without hesitation. You're on a long and easy road ahead..."
Seeing that the gift had been given out, Duan Zhengkai was all smiles, even happier than if he had gotten a huge pile of resources for free.
"Of course, of course. If Young Master Wang has no other instructions, then I won't bother you any longer."
Wang Zheng waved his hand.
"Let's go, Young Master Duan. But you have to remember, not everyone is as reasonable as me. You'd better watch yourself."
By the way, if you dare to commit any more crimes and I catch you, I won't be so lenient with you then..."
Duan Zhengkai repeatedly said he dared not, then turned and ran away, disappearing from sight in no time.
Watching Duan Shao's departing figure, Wang Zheng smiled but didn't say anything more.
To be honest, Wang Zheng had asked the principal to check the kid's information before and found that he seemed to have changed a lot in the past year, putting more energy into cultivation.
Although his cultivation level was still not very high, he didn't do anything outrageous.
I don't know if he's reformed or if he was completely terrified last time in southern Beijing.
Therefore, regardless of whether Duan Zhengkai sends spiritual energy crystals or not, he doesn't plan to go looking for trouble with him. After all, if this kid just stays at home or school and doesn't go out, Wang Zheng wouldn't go looking for him to beat him up.
Wang Zheng just didn't expect that the other party was really such a coward. Not only did he take the initiative to admit defeat, but he also offered double the resources to apologize.
As the old saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face.
Seeing how self-aware Duan was, Wang Zheng could only say, "No wonder he comes from a powerful family in the capital; they really have a deep foundation..."
