Chapter 139 139

It didn't take long for Tenku to get to the residential building for the participants. Even though he said that he wouldn't make any big movements with his body because it would worsen his injuries, he still had to run because he wanted to get there quickly.

He remembered that he still had business with someone from the big family and hoped that they were still in the building. If they were gone, he wouldn't be able to settle matters with them, one of the geniuses of the four great families, to be precise. Moreover, Tenku had to return to Japan tomorrow because he only had two days left of his Golden Week vacation.

When Tenku wanted to enter the building, he saw Wang Zeming and Wang Haotian coming out.

"Master." Tenku called out to Wang Haotian and approached them.

"Tenku! Are you okay? I heard from the first elder that you were seriously injured." Wang Zeming asked with concern.

"I'm fine now. I have received treatment from the medical team in the infirmary. I apologize for worrying you." Tenku lowered his head slightly to Wang Zeming. He and Wang Zeming had only known a few days. But Tenku could feel that his worries were genuine and not fake.

"That's good! Then what are you doing here? Ah, do you have any business with the first elder? Do you want to talk about the victory ceremony?" Wang Zeming thought that Tenku had come to that place to look for Wang Haotian.

"Yes, more or less like that." Tenku replied with a vague answer because he couldn't tell his true purpose for coming to that building.

​ "Then I won't bother you. I will take my leave now." Wang Zeming bowed his head to Wang Haotian and quickly left the place.

"So, what is your purpose in coming to this building? I know you're not here to see me." Wang Haotian spoke after Wang Zeming disappeared from his sight.

"As expected of you, master. Unfortunately, you're only half right this time. I came here to talk about the martial competition with you, to be precise, the prize. I don't need the title of the strongest young cultivator. Of course, I also came for other purposes.

But before that, I want to know about the continuation of the marriage agreement between Wang Ruyue and Gu Qingyang. With my victory, that thing should have been canceled, right?" Tenku came to that place to settle his business with someone from one of the major families. But he also wanted to know about the end of the matter between the Wang and Gu families.

"You don't need to worry about that. After the victory ceremony, Gu Tianba declared that the marriage agreement between the Wang and Gu families had been canceled. The agreement had many witnesses, so the Gu family wouldn't dare to renege. If they dared to do so, they would lose face in Beijing and provoke the displeasure of many people." Wang Haotian explained and smiled broadly.

He made the right decision by making Tenku his disciple and having him participate in the martial arts competition. His granddaughter was finally free from the marriage agreement that had been a burden on his heart all this time. Tenku could change Wang Ruyue's destiny and bring miracles to the Wang family.

"Ooh... I thought the Gu family would return to their word after losing. But they still have shame and dare not act arbitrarily in front of the city lord and other major families." Tenku nodded in satisfaction after hearing his master's words.

"Even though the Gu family is powerful, they won't dare to do as they please because doing so would displease the other major families. If the other three major families and the Jin family join forces, the Gu family will completely disappear from Beijing. But I saw resentment in Gu Tianba's eyes when he declared the annulment of the marriage agreement.

You might become a target to vent his anger because you are the one who thwarted their plans. You have to be more careful in your actions. They would surely send someone stronger or perhaps elders to kill you. You cannot underestimate the strength of the Gu family just because you defeated their first genius." Wang Haotian said seriously.

"I understand. I won't look down on them just because I defeated a junior from the Gu family. But have you forgotten about the monsters that appeared from space collapse today and the Qi accumulation pill I won from the martial arts competition? I am confident I can break through to the next realm with those two things." Tenku said confidently.

Wang Haotian was stunned when he heard his words. He had almost forgotten that Tenku had killed many low-level monsters and Drakes. With that amount alone, it should be enough for Tenku to break through to the great perfection of the Sky Origin realm. If he added the Qi accumulation pill, he might be able to touch the half-step innate realm.

"Hahaha! You are a little monster! If you break through again, your cultivation base will be the same as mine now! I didn't expect you to catch up to me in less than ten years.

If the people of the four major families knew your true cultivation base, they would be terrified. They would doubt their tens of years of cultivation!" Wang Haotian laughed as he imagined the expressions of the elders of the four great families, knowing that a fifteen-year-old boy had the same cultivation base as them.

Luckily, no one else was around them. If anyone saw Wang Haotian laugh like that, they would think the old man was crazy.

"Alright. Can you give me the Qi accumulation pill now? I still have other things I must do." Tenku couldn't help but sigh when he saw Wang Haotian's behavior. He stretched his hand to that old man to ask him to quickly hand over the Qi accumulation pill because he couldn't waste his time in that place.

"Why are you in such a rush? What do you want to do?" Wang Haotian took out a small bottle with beautiful ornaments from his space pocket and gave it to Tenku.

"Do you know where the people from the Lin family are?" Tenku didn't answer Wang Haotian's question and instead asked in return. He took the bottle and put it in his space pocket.

"Lin family? They are still inside. What are you looking for them for?" Wang Haotian asked in confusion. He wanted to know what business Tenku had with the Lin family.

"That's great." Tenku ignored Wang Haotian's question again and quickly entered the building.

"You brat!" Wang Haotian said in annoyance, but he didn't chase after him as he had other more important matters to attend to.

"Forget it. I'll ask him again after we return to the Wang family residence." Wang Haotian sighed, and he walked away from the place.

After Tenku entered the building, he raised his eyebrows because he immediately met the person he was looking for. That person was the first genius and the Lin family, Lin Zhantian. He looks better now after getting intensive treatment.

Luckily, Tenku was in time because Li Zhantian was about to leave the place with the Lin family's disciples and elders. Lin Zhantian noticed Tenku's appearance, and he talked to the people from the Lin family. After that, they left him alone.

"I know your purpose in coming here. So don't mince words with me. What do you want? But I need to remind you again that I will only grant requests within the range of my abilities. More than that, I will refuse it." Lin Zhantian said seriously. He knew that Tenku had come to him because of their bet.

"That's better because I don't want to talk too much either. What I want from you is…." Tenku smiled and said what he wanted from Lin Zhantian.

After Tenku finished his business with Lin Zhantian, he returned to the infirmary. But he was confused when he got there because he saw Wang Ruyue sitting alone, playing with her smartphone. Tenku did not find Huang Yuxin's figure next to her.

"Tenku!" Wang Ruyue noticed Tenku's presence. She quickly kept her smartphone in her pocket and came over to him. Wang Ruyue had changed her clothes and the bandages on her hands. Her expression now became even better than before.

"Where is Huang Yuxin? Is she still getting treatment in the infirmary?" Tenku looked around and asked after he didn't find Huang Yuxin in that place.

"No. Our treatments finished at the same time. But she said goodbye to me after that. She had to return to the Huang family's mansion because she felt there was nothing else she could do in this place. Besides, her mother is sick, so she should be back soon." Wang Ruyue explained.

"When did she leave this place?" Tenku asked another question.

"She just left about five minutes ago." Wang Ruyue replied.

"Then I will follow her. I still have business with her. But before that…." Tenku took something from his pocket and gave it to Wang Ruyue's hand. Afterward, he whispered in her ear and quickly left the infirmary.

Wang Ruyue froze after she heard Tenku's words. She looked at the two small vials in her palm and opened her mouth.

"How did he get this thing?" Wang Ruyue said in disbelief.

Tenku ran to catch up with Huang Yuxin. He quickly found her because she would pass through the Badaling Nationa Forest Park's entrance if she wanted to leave the area.

Huang Yuxin turned around when she heard footsteps behind her and was startled when she saw Tenku.

"Tenku? What are you doing here? Are you also going back to the Wang family residence? Where are Wang Ruyue and the others?" Huang Yuxin asked in confusion because she didn't find anyone behind Tenku.

"No. I came here to chase you." Tenku shook his head.

"You're after me? Would you like to see me off?" Huang Yuxin's heart fluttered as she felt happy after hearing his words.

"Have you forgotten what you said to me before?" Tenku asked in return.

"What did I say to you?" Huang Yuxin tilted her head and thought about everything she had said to Tenku. Her body suddenly trembled when she remembered about it.

"You… you…" Huang Yuxin wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start. But Tenku didn't let her continue her words.

"So, do you still need me to be your fake boyfriend? If so, I'll come over to your house now since I can't do it tomorrow." Tenku said softly.

Huang Yuxin involuntarily shed tears. She didn't expect that Tenku would still remember her words. But Huang Yuxin couldn't keep Tenku waiting for long and had to answer him. She lifted her veil and smiled like a blooming flower as she said.

"Yes! Please become my fake boyfriend and come with me to the Huang family residence now!"
