Chapter 2416  Secondary Career Alliance Exchange Summit! Departure! (3)

"Councilor Wang Teng, there's no need to be so polite," Duke Yaheng remarked with a smile. "Even if you've already recovered, these pills are beneficial for body conditioning. Taking them more frequently can also prevent any lingering injuries. I've heard that Councilor Wang Teng is a grandmaster alchemist, so you must understand them better than we do."

"I feel embarrassed." Wang Teng replied, chuckling. "But since you have already put it this way, if I were to refuse, it would be rather impolite of me."

Shelly: …

This person seems to have quite thick skin!

Duke Yaheng, however, laughed heartily, appearing delighted. After a few more exchanges, he inquired, "I saw representatives from the Virtual Universe Company visit a few days ago. I wonder what brought them here?"

"It's nothing much, just some collaboration," Wang Teng guessed the intentions of the Five Burial Stars but was willing to extend them a favor. Therefore, he didn't divulge the true purpose of the Virtual Universe Corporation's visit, just smiled faintly and brushed the topic aside.

Seeing his reluctance to elaborate, Duke Yaheng didn't press further. After a few more pleasantries, he took his leave.

Shortly after, Bi Chunrou of Azure Sky Island and Jin Hongcai of Golden Peak City also came to visit, presenting valuable elixirs as gifts.

Out of courtesy for the elixirs, Wang Teng treated them all with kindness. However, when they inquired about the purpose of the Virtual Universe Corporation's visit, his responses remained consistent with before.

This left them feeling helpless but unable to inquire further.

The members of the two major universe pirate groups and the Shadow Fortress had already departed. Their situations were quite peculiar, being entities that shunned the light, they naturally wouldn't openly associate themselves with Wang Teng.

"Brother Wang Teng, come visit our Golden Peak City when you have the chance," Jin Yubao, the chubby lad, warmly invited before departing.

As for the young lady from Azure Sky Island, Wang Teng couldn't help but feel her gaze was peculiar, yet he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He wondered if he was so charismatic.

The members of the two major universe pirate groups and the Shadow Fortress had already departed. Their situations were quite peculiar, being entities that shunned the light, they naturally wouldn't openly associate themselves with Wang Teng.

Yizang Xinnuo and others were deeply concerned that Wang Teng might disclose the god-stage prodigy contract to other forces. Therefore, after Wang Teng met with representatives from those factions, they couldn't resist coming to inquire about the situation.

"Brother Wang Teng, it seems that various forces hold you in high regard. I've never seen them treat the same person with such courtesy," Yizang Xinnuo remarked with a smile.

"It's probably because of the Virtual Universe Corporation," Wang Teng replied lightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He knew why Yizang Xinnuo came, but he wanted to tease her intentionally, so he mentioned the Virtual Universe Corporation on purpose.

Sure enough, at the mention of it, Yizang Xinnuo's heart skipped a beat, and she asked involuntarily, "Did you tell them the purpose of the Virtual Universe Corporation?"

"Of course, there's nothing to hide, especially since they've also sent me quite a few spiritual treasures. It wouldn't be right to keep them in the dark," Wang Teng said casually.

Yizang Xinnuo had suspected as much but she couldn't help feeling disappointed. It seemed that this news couldn't be exclusively held by their Five Burial Stars.

"Of course. This is Brother Wang Teng's personal matter, so you can choose to disclose it to whomever you wish," she replied, quickly recovering and offering a smile, pretending not to mind.

"Indeed," Wang Teng nodded, adding, "But I only told them that the Virtual Universe Corporation came for some cooperation without specifying the details."

Yizang Xinnuo saw the hint of amusement on Wang Teng's face and suddenly realized that she had been played.

This guy was too cunning!

"Hahaha…" Wang Teng couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Just kidding, don't be angry. Consider it a gift from me to the five major families, a token of my sincerity."

"Brother Wang Teng, you're quite naughty, you know? You really disappointed me," Yizang Xinnuo couldn't help but roll her eyes coquettishly.

Just as they were talking, Round Ball suddenly spoke up, "Wang Teng, there's a message for you."

"Whose message?" Wang Teng paused for a moment, inquiring.

"It's from those grandmasters of the Great Qian Empire," Round Ball replied.

Wang Teng's interest piqued. He said to Yizang Xinnuo, "I need to answer a call. I'll return to my room."

"Alright," Yizang Xinnuo, although curious, didn't pry further. She just nodded obediently.

Wang Teng promptly returned to his room and said, "Connect."

Round Ball initiated the communication, and a holographic screen materialized, displaying the figures of Grandmaster Hua Yuan and others.

"Do the grandmasters have something to discuss with me?" Wang Teng asked casually.

His relationship with these grandmasters was very close, so he spoke very casually, unlike with others.

"Grandmaster Wang Teng, the biennial exchange summit of our Secondary Career Alliance is about to begin," Grandmaster Hua Yuan said.

"Exchange summit?" Wang Teng was stunned.

"Yes, it's an internal exchange event of the Secondary Career Alliance, usually attended by extraordinarily talented individuals dispatched by various territories' Secondary Career Alliances. It serves both as a platform for exchange and to showcase the strengths of each territory's Secondary Career Alliance, facilitating comparisons and evaluations," Grandmaster Hua Yuan explained.

"So, you're suggesting that I attend?" Wang Teng chuckled.

"Hehe, exactly. The exchange event mandates participation from geniuses under the age of 300. You are the most suitable candidate," Grandmaster Alfred grinned and continued, "Moreover, achieving a good ranking at the exchange event brings immense honor, an honor that no secondary occupation practitioner can refuse."
