Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 19 The Hands-Off Manager Sets Off for the Eastern Wilderness

“In that case… then that’s fine, but you need to keep an eye on the time, your little brother might be born soon.” Wang Chengkun hesitated for a moment before speaking.

With a powerful ancestor protecting him, and his master, the Crane Immortal, who has surpassed even that level, Wang Teng should be fine as long as he doesn't encounter any ancient beings who have lived for thousands of years.

However, Wang Chengkun still offered a reminder.

Wang Teng, who was looking forward to his trip to the Eastern Wilderness, was stunned for a moment. What the heck?

My baby brother is about to be born?
Is it Wang Chong, that bastard who betrayed his brother?
No, given the Wang family's current situation, Wang Chong shouldn't be too outrageous.

However, considering that Wang Chong was his younger brother and that his older brother was Wang Teng, Wang Teng was still not entirely at ease.

He decided in an instant that he would have to come back in a while!

He took Wang Chong under his wing and trained him!
He wasn't entirely at ease with the Wang family members.

“I had a premonition a few days ago, and after using my divine sense to probe, I learned that you will have another younger brother,” Wang Chengkun said, explaining his earlier statement.

“Brother…” Wang Teng murmured to himself.

The gears of fate have begun to turn, but fortunately, I had already modified the parameters of my destiny.

“Yes, your younger brother will be born in about six years,” Wang Chengkun said.

The process of a cultivator conceiving life is not a ten-month pregnancy. Rather, the time required increases as the cultivator's cultivation level rises. For many supreme cultivators, it can take hundreds of years to conceive life.

"Six years is still a long time. I will come back before my younger brother is born," Wang Teng said.

There are still more than ten years before Ye Fan comes to Beidou, so there is no conflict between the two. Wang Teng can manage his time well.

Moreover, in just over a decade, he could cultivate to the Dao Palace realm with his eyes closed. At that time, using the Dao Palace deities as his avatars, Wang Teng would be able to do even more.

"When do you plan to leave?" Wang Chengkun asked.

"I need to arrange things at the Justice Hall within a month. Thank you for your hard work, Father," Wang Teng said.

He was a hands-off manager for a year, and the fact that the Gongdaotang (Court of Justice) was still standing there was definitely thanks to the sacrifices of his father, Wang Chengkun.

Otherwise, the pressure from within the family alone would be too much to bear.

“This is what I should do. I am not only the head of the Wang family, but also your father. I support your decision to make the Wang family better, both morally and logically,” Wang Chengkun said.

Originally, he shared the same thought as the other elders: how could the Wang family, as a major clan in the Northern Plains, punish its members for trivial matters?

However, after what happened with Wang Fei, Wang Chengkun began to support Wang Teng.

In the following days, Wang Teng appeared at the Gongdao Hall, partly to prove his return and intimidate the Wang family members who were dissatisfied with the Gongdao Hall, and partly to encourage the more than twenty people in the Gongdao Hall.

In fact, many members of the Wang family wanted to join the Gongdaotang in the past year, but Wang Teng was not present, and the family head, Wang Chengkun, also stated that he would not take charge of the Gongdaotang. Therefore, in the end, these lists all fell into Wang Teng's hands.

"Not a single one!" Wang Teng tossed the list aside. "When it was easiest to offend people, they weighed the pros and cons one by one. Now that the pros outweigh the cons, they don't need to offend people like before. They want to join, but nothing is easy."

Gongdaotang has been offending people from the very beginning, especially at the start, where it offended elders and clan elders, putting it under immense pressure. If those people hadn't been the elders' juniors, they probably would have suffered greatly back then!

Now that the atmosphere within the Wang family has improved and the Gongdaotang (a disciplinary body) no longer has to offend people every day like before, they want to join. But it's not that simple, so Wang Teng simply waved his hand and rejected them all.

Upon hearing this news, the Wang family was in an uproar. Some elders' faces darkened immediately. They wanted to give their juniors more seniority and wanted them to join the Hall of Justice, but Wang Teng refused to give them face. Some people reported directly to the family head, but the response remained unchanged: the Hall of Justice belonged to Wang Teng, and only Wang Teng's word mattered.

Some elders wanted to find Wang Teng and use their connections, but they were surprised to find that Wang Teng was no longer with the Wang family.

Yes, Wang Teng directly used the large domain gate in his family to cross a domain and travel from Beiyuan to the Northern Domain of the Eastern Wilderness.

He came to the Eastern Wilderness alone from the Wang family. Faced with this unfamiliar land, Wang Teng did not stay.

He used the domain gate again, traversing from the northern region of the Eastern Wilderness all the way to the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness.

This place is quite far from Kitahara.

The protector hidden in the void behind Wang Teng found it unbelievable. How could this little guy run so fast?

However, he still silently followed behind Wang Teng, protecting the most talented only son of the Wang family in this generation.

It took Wang Teng a full six months to travel across the entire region, including the time spent traveling between domain gates and waiting for the domain gates to open.

This is also a place that Wang Teng is very familiar with—Tai Xuan Men.

"It's actually a domain gate of the Tai Xuan Sect." Wang Teng exclaimed in surprise.

This major sect in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness in the original work, a force that ranks among the top 100 in the Southern Region, actually opened the Domain Gate to ferry travelers.

He didn't stay there for long either. After leaving the Tai Xuan Sect, Wang Teng stopped not long after he had walked away.

It has a little tail on its back.

He didn't make a big fuss along the way, but in some ways, the fact that a boy who was only nine or ten years old could cross the void using a domain gate was itself a very high-profile act.

Therefore, he was naturally seen as easy prey and was targeted by a group of people.

"Interesting. Two Dao Palace Realm cultivators and one Other Shore Realm cultivator, they dare to come out and rob people?" Wang Teng didn't even turn his head. With a sweep of his divine sense, he had already detected the realms of the cultivators behind him.

While refining his Dao Source, Wang Teng's medicinal properties were activated, and he successfully cultivated divine sense. Now, his divine sense source is about the size of a fist, and with a slight sweep, he can roughly detect the situation of the people behind him.

There were three people, not even one of them who was at least at the third level of the Dao Palace.

Wang Teng was not afraid of this strength.

He simply took a detour and came to a secluded place, where he deliberately lured the three people out.

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at this secluded place, the three people appeared impatiently.

Three people, one in front and two behind, drove the divine bridge, blocking Wang Teng's path.

"Whose child is this, crossing the domain gate alone? Aren't you afraid of running into bad people?" one of the cultivators from the Dao Palace Secret Realm said, with what he thought was a kind smile on his face.

Wang Teng remained calm, raised his hand to summon the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword, and a golden arm guard appeared on his forearm.

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, he directly raised the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword in his hand.

"Three Slashes of Chaos!"
