Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wang family.
In the lobby, more and more guests arrived. The place started to get lively.
Wang Teng’s childhood friends entered the lobby with their fathers.
“You can play with the young ones yourself,” Father Xu smiled and said.
“Alright, we won’t hover around old people like you,” Xu Jie teased.
!!
He had started practicing martial arts and wasn’t as frivolous and useless as he was in the past. As a result, his status in his family improved. He didn’t fear his father anymore and even teased him occasionally.
“Young brat,” Father Xu scolded as he kicked him.
Bai Wei and Yu Hao laughed at the side. The three youngsters went to look for their own circle of friends.
“Why do you seem a little absentminded?” Xu Jie noticed Bai Wei’s abnormality and asked.
“Nothing.” Bai Wei tidied her fringe and shook her head.
“Really? I can tell there’s something wrong with you at a glance.” Xu Jie rolled his eyes and observed his surroundings before whispering, “Do you like Brother Wang Teng?”
“No way!” Bai Wei blushed and shook her head in a flurry.
“You can’t hide anything. We knew about it a long time ago,” Xu Jie said.
“That’s right.” Yu Hao nodded.
He had some feelings for Bai Wei, but he bottled them after realizing that she fancied Wang Teng. He had a girlfriend now.
Bai Wei also stopped denying it. She shook her head dejectedly.
“You’re too hesitant. How will Brother Wang Teng know if you don’t dare to say it?” Xu Jie expressed disappointment.
Bai Wei sighed. She knew that she had missed many opportunities.
“It’s not too late. I heard that martial warriors in the universe have a long lifespan. They normally have many wives. You might have a chance.” Xu Jie chuckled and winked at Bai Wei.
“Ah!” Bai Wei was shocked, failing to react.
“It’s up to you.” Xu Jie sniggered. He didn’t seem worried about making things more complicated.
“Hey, y’all are here.” A voice was heard beside them.
Baili Qingfeng, Lu Shu, and some others walked over. They were Wang Teng’s classmates at the Huanghai Military Academy. They were all youngsters, and with Wang Teng as the topic, they gradually got familiar with one another.
“Old Lu, when did you guys come?” Xu Jie walked forward and asked with a smile.
“We just got here,” Lu Shu replied.
“We’re still single, but Wang Teng is already getting engaged. This is unexpected.” Baili Qingfeng shook his head.
“He silently left the singles club. So infuriating.” Hou Pingliang bared his teeth.
“Erm, I’m getting engaged too,” Song Shuhang suddenly said.
Everyone: …
“F**k, really?” Hou Pingliang was the first to shout. He sounded as if he heard something incredible.
“We agreed to be single together, but you’re leaving first,” Baili Qingfeng said bitterly.
“Work harder.” Song Shuhang patted Hou Pingliang’s shoulder to encourage him.
“Go away!” Hou Pingliang slapped his hand and rolled his eyes in anger.
“I’m lucky that I have a sister.” Lu Shu felt fortunate.
“What right do you have to speak, you sister fanatic?” Everyone looked at him with disdain.
Bai Wei and Xu Jie shook their heads and laughed when they saw them fooling around.
“What stage are you all at?” Xu Jie asked curiously.
“We’re around the same, 9-star soldier level,” Baili Qingfeng glanced at the others and said.
“9-star soldier level? You’re quite fast. I’m only at the 7-star level.” Xu Jie exclaimed.
“What can I do? I’m gifted.” Song Shuhang shrugged.
“F**k!” Xu Jie cursed involuntarily when he saw Song Shuhang’s irritating expression.
Guests started arriving while they were chatting. Suddenly, shouts were heard in front.
“Look, the leader of martial arts is here!”
“The three great commanders too!”
“Principal Ye Jixin from the Jixin Martial House is here!”
“Hey, those two are famous businessmen with the surname Ma, right? They came together? What a rare sight.”
…
All the important figures in Country Xia were here. This caused a commotion among the crowd.
Times had changed, but these characters were still influential figures on the planet. Ordinary families wouldn’t be able to see them normally.
But they appeared simultaneously at the Wang family’s engagement banquet. The Wang family was indeed powerful.
No, Wang Teng was the one who was powerful.
After these important figures arrived, they gathered together and conversed with one another. The atmosphere was harmonious.
The other families didn’t dare to disturb them. They watched them from afar and paid attention to them.
The arrival of these important figures made them the limelight of the banquet. It was hard not to observe them.
“Thank you for coming to the banquet today. It’s the Wang family’s honor to have you,” Grandpa Wang came forward to welcome them. He was full of smiles. It was easy to tell how happy he was.
“Wang Teng’s engagement party is a happy affair. We have to be present.” The leader of martial arts laughed.
“Wang Teng is getting engaged in the blink of an eye.” Commander Hong felt emotional. He had the strongest relationship with Wang Teng among the three great commanders.
“Thank you for taking care of him. Wang Teng wouldn’t be who he is today without your help,” Grandpa Wang thanked them sincerely.

“Don’t say that. We didn’t help him much. He achieved everything himself.” Commander Hong waved his hand.
They chatted for some time. Soon, the hour arrived. The lobby dimmed, and a beam of light lit up on the platform in front.
A young man and a young lady walked out. They seemed perfect for each other.
The young man wore a black suit and was exceptionally handsome. He stood tall and straight, giving off an outstanding aura.
The lady wore a long red gown showing off her lean figure. She was pretty and charming. Tonight, she was the most beautiful here.
The couple caught everyone’s attention once they came out. No one could shift their gaze away.
“Thanks everyone for coming to our engagement.” Wang Teng looked around and smiled. “I’m actually a little nervous to have so many people as my witness.”
The crowd laughed out of courtesy.
After the laughter subsided, Wang Teng opened his mouth again.
“I’m very happy today because the lady I love dearly is going to become my fiancée.”
He looked at the girl beside him with love and care. His voice had never been so gentle. A ring appeared in his hand.
What ring was that?
A crystal shimmering as bright as a star was etched on it. It gave off a dazzling glimmer.
This was the longest-lasting crystal in the universe. It was multiple times more precious than a diamond.
Everyone stared at the crystal, especially the ladies. They ogled the divine crystal in envy.
Bai Wei and Zhou Baiyun wished that they were the ones wearing this ring.
In a corner, one more person was staring at this scene absentmindedly. Her expression was complicated.

“Finally, I can hold your hand.” Wang Teng gradually slid the ring into Lin Chuhan’s finger.
Lin Chuhan started to tear up a little when she heard his whisper. She stared at the young man in a daze. No one else could enter her eyes anymore.
