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

Chapter 236 Ye Fan Arrives at the Door, the Ji Family Welcomes Him

When the master craftsman at the stone workshop asked if he wanted the stones to be opened, Ye Fan shook his head and declined. These stones were meant to be given away as gifts. Having the Ji family open the stones themselves would be much more sincere than bringing the alien source god source directly to their door.

Moreover, the latter can also indirectly demonstrate one's talent and strength.

After selecting these items, Ye Fan, Wang Teng, and Ji Haoyue went to the Ji family together.

They did not hide their whereabouts along the way, so many people saw them.

When they saw Ye Fan appear together with the Ji family's divine body, and Wang Teng was also there, they all felt somewhat incredulous.

It was already incredible that Ye Fan and Wang Teng appeared together, let alone the Ji family's divine body beside them.

Those watching found it incredible and had no idea what these people were doing.

But seeing them head to the Ji family together, some people had already guessed something.

"Is this a compromise between that young man named Ye Fan and the Ji family?" someone speculated.

If it were just Ye Fan and Ji Haoyue appearing together, others might not have made such a guess.

However, Wang Teng also appeared, and he was someone that the Ji family heavily protected, and even a bounty was placed on his head to find him at great cost. So they couldn't help but wonder if Wang Teng played some role in the process, allowing Ye Fan to sit down and have a proper talk with the Ji family.

Although they were watching the spectacle, none of them dared to step forward and ask any questions.

Because these people have very unusual identities and backgrounds, although they look young, they are all exceptionally strong and originally held very high positions. Ordinary people have no chance to communicate with them, let alone stop them to ask what happened.

In the end, they could only watch as Ji Haoyue led Ye Fan and Wang Teng to the Ji family's residence in the city.

The Yaochi Grand Ceremony was a grand affair, with invitations sent out well in advance. Although the head of the Ji family did not come to the Northern Region in person, he kept a close eye on the affairs of the Northern Region and communicated with the people of the Northern Region daily through the formation.

When they arrived at the Ji family's residence, the Ji family's Supreme Elder personally came out to greet them.

This was the strongest member of the Ji family stationed in the city. The fact that he personally came out to greet them was not to show his respect for Ye Fan, but rather for Wang Teng, something everyone knew perfectly well.

There weren't many people from the Ji family this time; only Ye Fan, Wang Teng, and Ji Haoyue came. Hei Huang and Wang Erya didn't come along.

After entering the Ji family's residence, Ji Haoyue first recounted what had happened, then lightly gave both sides equal blame, thus letting the matter pass.

Next, the Ji family's Supreme Elder and Ye Fan took responsibility for each other, admitting that they had also overlooked some things at the time.

Of course, only they themselves know how much of it is genuine and how much is just acting, but it's something that can't be avoided.

When the conversation got lively, Ye Fan took out five stones and gave them to the Ji family as a token of goodwill.

Ji Haoyue and the others had discussed it beforehand, so at this moment it personally took charge of cutting open these five pieces of stone.

From the five stones, four pieces of alien source and one piece of divine source were cut out, which together were roughly equivalent to seven or eight pure sources.

This was already a great fortune, so the Ji family gladly accepted it, expressed their apologies to Ye Fan, and promised that Ye Fan could cultivate and use the Great Void Technique, but it could not be passed on to outsiders.

Then the group stayed at the Ji family's house and enjoyed a lavish feast.

The news spread that very day. The first reaction of outsiders upon hearing it was disbelief.

Because the Ji family had indeed pursued Ye Fan with great intensity, the other two families, the Jiang family and the Yao Guang Holy Land, were also pursuing Ye Fan, but their main target was Duan De.

The reason for chasing Ye Fan was because some clues showed that the two knew each other and had a good relationship.

However, after Ye Fan visited the Ji family, the Ji family actually gave up their pursuit of Ye Fan and even said that Ye Fan had a good relationship with the Ji family.

After this story got out, many people naturally didn't believe it.

However, as more details emerged from that day, including Ye Fan sending five stones to the Ji family from which he extracted alien source and divine source, the Ji family also lifted some of the restrictions on Ye Fan, promising him that he could continue to cultivate and use the Great Void Technique...

And some of the initial "misunderstandings" were also cleared up.

However, the specific details of those misunderstandings did not reach the outside world. But based on their previous actions, everyone could still keenly sense that the Ji family and Ye Fan seemed to have truly put aside their differences.

Of course, there is another key figure who was the main reason for putting aside the differences, and that is Wang Teng.

Because on that day, besides the Ji family's divine body and Ye Fan, only Wang Teng went to the Ji family's residence.

Moreover, Wang Teng's identity was not a secret in the major cities of the Northern Region, as all three factions were trying to rescue him and had issued various bounty notices.

Therefore, various speculations began to emerge in the Northern Region about what happened between the Ji family and Ye Fan, and what role Wang Teng played in it.

However, this was just something people discussed in private, and it didn't reach the ears of the Ji family, Ye Fan, or Wang Teng.

"I never expected that you could actually make an ancient aristocratic family bow down..." Black Emperor looked at Wang Teng in shock.

Judging from Ji Haoyue's attitude, the Black Emperor could conclude that the Ji family was unaware that Wang Teng possessed an ultimate imperial weapon capable of being fully revived at any time!

But the more this happened, the more Black Emperor felt that Wang Teng was extraordinary.

A powerful, ancient family, unaware of all of Wang Teng's trump cards, was willing to "bow down" for him.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to sigh or wonder if Wang Teng had more influence or if the ancient aristocratic family had better judgment.

"It wasn't me who forced the Ancient Aristocratic Clan to bow down. I have to thank Brother Ji for this. If it weren't for Brother Ji's mediation, even if I went to their door and pleaded until I was hoarse, it wouldn't have mattered," Wang Teng said modestly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, to be honest, if you didn't have an ancient emperor behind you, I would really like to take you as my disciple." The Black Emperor sighed.

"Damn black dog, when it was my turn, he wanted to take me as his pet, but when it was my brother's turn, he wanted to take him as his disciple. The difference in treatment is too great!" Ye Fan cursed from the side.

It's not that I'm belittling Wang Teng, it's just that I simply don't like Black Emperor.

In the following days, Wang Teng and Ye Fan did not frequent the various stone workshops, because powerful forces often came to their door, and young prodigies invited them to small gatherings.

Wang Teng never refused anyone's invitation, and whenever someone treated him to a meal, he would always bring Ye Fan along.

"If you want to make it in the Eastern Wilderness, unless you can outperform everyone of your generation like I have, you still need to develop your network of connections."
