Chapter 956: I Didn’t. You’re Spouting Nonsense. You’re Framing Me!

Following Sinclamon’s departure, some council members began gloating and started talking.

“Turns out that there is a legacy mark!”

“If there’s a legacy mark, then there’s nothing to question.”

“He should have taken it out sooner! He’s just playing with others!”

“Cao Guan and Sinclamon even wanted to take the baron’s seal away from his hands. This brat is really evil.”

…

Hearing those words, Cao Guan couldn’t stay any longer. His face turned pale, and he glared at Wang Teng. At this moment, he was suffering torment like a cat on hot bricks. However, he didn’t have the same status as Sinclamon and didn’t dare to leave on his own.

“Wang Teng, there is no problem with your identity as an inheritor. However, to inherit the title of baron, you will still need to pass the Consultation Chamber’s assessment.” The head of the council opened his mouth again.

“Assessment?” Wang Teng frowned.

“That’s right. Everyone who is inheriting the baron title must go through an assessment. This is a rule of the empire. Those who are not virtuous or lack potential would be unable to inherit the title,” the head of the council explained.

Wang Teng nodded and asked, “When will I take the assessment?”

“Don’t worry. After discussing the assessment, we’ll inform you about the contents of the assessment later.” The head of the council continued, “Moreover, we will have to wait for Cao Hongtu, the temporary holder of the title, to return. He has made many contributions over the years, and we cannot just erase them.”

Wang Teng frowned again. He always felt that this matter wasn’t that simple. However, judging from the head of the council’s tune, it was obvious that this matter wouldn’t be resolved by just words.

“Go back and wait for our news,” the head of the council said.

The meeting was over, and the council members got up after one another, leaving the hall.

Wang Teng had no choice. He had done what he could. Now, this matter would depend on how the assessment would be arranged and what would happen to Cao Hongtu.

“I didn’t expect Cao Hongtu to do so many things over the years. Looks like he really worked hard,” Round Ball commented.

“I’m afraid that man would be much more difficult to deal with than his useless son,” Wang Teng replied.

“Hmph, back then, I knew he was a scheming man, but Master Nangong didn’t believe me.” Round Ball complained in anger.

“There no use talking about it now,” Wang Teng said helplessly. “Let’s go back and wait for the result.”

“Okay. But don’t worry, I accompanied Master Nangong when he took the assessment. It shouldn’t be a difficult thing for you.” Round Ball assured him.

They had already walked out of the Noble Family Consultation Chamber. However, when Wang Teng passed the stone tablet by the entrance, he realized that Cao Guan was waiting for him outside.

“I can give you money. Leave the city and the empire. Low-class martial warriors like you just want resources. My family can afford it.” Cao Guan stopped Wang Teng. He sounded like he was doing charity.
