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

Chapter 237 Black Emperor: This wasn't something I said...

Wang Teng's words, seemingly meant to lecture Ye Fan, were actually meant to remind Ye Fan of some principles of conduct and interpersonal relationships.

Of course, this is also laying the groundwork for the future.

To accomplish his goal, he would inevitably have to win over some people, some of whom might eventually clash with Ye Fan. Although Wang Teng knew the general trend of most events in "Covering the Sky," he couldn't make everything perfect, nor could he plan ahead of everything.

So let's lay the groundwork now, so that we can better handle any problems that may arise in the future.

"I understand." Ye Fan nodded.

He knew that Wang Teng was thinking of him.

He was also very moved.

Since arriving in this world riding on a nine-dragon coffin, he has met very few people who are genuinely kind to him.

Wang Teng is one, Senior Brother Lu Hao is one, Ji Ziyue is one, and Elder Li Ruoyu of Zhuofeng is also one.

These were the people Ye Fan felt were genuinely good to him and didn't expect anything in return.

Therefore, Ye Fan was able to listen to what Wang Teng said.

They attended quite a few banquets in the past few days, and there were many other outstanding talents attending these banquets. Although many of these talents were not as good as Ji Haoyue and the others, they were still considered top talents in their respective sects and could be called the best in their respective regions.

Whenever he went to such a banquet, Wang Teng would simply bring Wang Erya and Hei Huang with him.

Some people were curious about Wang Erya's identity. Wang Teng originally intended to introduce her directly, but Hei Huang introduced her first.

"Didn't the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King capture Wang Teng a while ago? The reason Wang Teng escaped was because of this little girl. This little girl has a very special relationship with the Azure Dragon King! I can't say more about the specifics, but those who know, know. It was precisely because Wang Teng brought this little girl with him that he was able to escape from the Azure Dragon King."

Black Emperor chuckled slyly and began to speak.

He was trying to exonerate Wang Erya from her identity.

“I know you don’t care about these things. Even if others want to attack Wang Erya, you are not afraid because you think you can overcome everything. But there are some things you need to consider the consequences of…” Black Emperor transmitted his voice to Wang Teng, speaking earnestly.

This was a rare moment of seriousness on his part as he explained the pros and cons to Wang Teng.

It won't be long before the ancient races revive, and their reappearance will certainly not be a good thing for the human race.

“If you reveal Xiao Er Ya’s true identity now, others might think you’ve been entangled with the ancient clans for a long time. But if you reveal Xiao Er Ya’s identity to fight for the interests of the human race when it’s time to turn the tide, then things will take a different turn,” the Black Emperor continued telepathically.

Although no matter what he does, some people may eventually feel that it's not good for Wang Teng to associate with the ancient clan, there are degrees of influence between the two.

Wang Teng gave Hei Huang a deep look and nodded.

He hadn't expected that Black King, despite his seemingly carefree attitude, would actually offer him some advice at a crucial moment.

Upon hearing the Black Emperor's explanation, the surrounding prodigies immediately revealed knowing smiles.

"I never expected this. I heard that the Azure Flood Dragon King is already very old, and his grandson, the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King, is a rare expert among the demons of the Northern Region. I never thought he would have another one... Never mind, I won't say anymore." A young man spoke with a smile on his face.

"Hehehe, this isn't my idea, you figured it out yourself. Don't spread it around, or the Azure Dragon King might come after me if he hears it."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm known for being tight-lipped. I definitely won't betray you." Black Emperor and the young man exchanged a glance, and the two of them revealed a knowing smile.

Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but purse his lips.

The Black Emperor is still the same Black Emperor.

If this matter were to reach the ears of the Azure Dragon King, Wang Teng would certainly be fine, but whoever spread it would definitely be in trouble.

Over the course of a few days, Ye Fan met many people with Wang Teng, some of whom were quite famous in the Northern Region.

As this process unfolded, Ye Fan's image in the eyes of others also changed.

Although no one said it outright, everyone could sense it, and Ye Fan, as the person involved, naturally felt it even more clearly.

Back in the Northern Region, Ye Fan wasn't exactly universally hated, but given the existence of so many wanted posters, if he were to openly appear in a certain place, the sensation he would cause would be enormous, and many people would want to capture him and hand him over to the Ji family.

But now no one mentions it anymore. When they see Ye Fan, their eyes are filled with admiration, and some of the younger generation's prodigies even take the initiative to toast with him.

Ye Fan accepted all offers without hesitation. If he wanted to make a name for himself in NATO, he certainly couldn't do without these people.

Even if some people are destined to have no further interaction with him, as long as this personal connection exists, it can still play a role in crucial moments in the future.

After several days of revelry, the Black Emperor's belly was round and full.

Although he kept complaining that these things weren't as high-class as what he ate hundreds of thousands of years ago, he still ate quite a lot each time.

As the Yaochi Grand Ceremony approached, Wang Teng began to gradually decline invitations from others.

Everyone else understood Wang Teng's intentions, so few people invited him; everyone was busy preparing to participate in the Yaochi Grand Ceremony.

This is a very big event; it is said that even some descendants of the imperial dynasties in Zhongzhou will be present.

"My Source Technique should be fine now. I will find some suitable Sources to give to Brother Wang to repay your kindness this time," Ye Fan said.

He has always been clear about right and wrong and knows how to repay kindness. If someone is good to him, he will be even better to them in return.

"Why can't you find me some?" Black Emperor asked, staring at Ye Fan.

“You’re an old senior who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, do you really need something like this? Besides, aren’t there some divine sources in Purple Mountain? You can just go and take those divine sources out,” Ye Fan said.

Black King paused for a moment, then charged straight at Ye Fan and bit him.

"You little brat, so that's what you were up to, waiting for me here!" Black Emperor cursed.

What kind of place is Zishan? It is a place that ancient emperors and great emperors have been vying for.

Leaving aside the complex terrain, just considering the divine sources involved, those sealed within are all ancient clan saints!

Although the Black Emperor once followed the Great Emperor Wushi and was very powerful himself, sending him to fight against those saints would be tantamount to sending him to his death.

"That's the source of the divine power, aren't you tempted?" Ye Fan asked.
