The True Inheritance

"Something you need to tell me? Is it the price for accepting the inheritance?" Wang Teng asked.

"Consider it a small request of mine. If you accept my inheritance, you will be half my successor. Asking you to do something for me isn't excessive, is it? Of course, only when you are capable. I won't force you," the man in white said with a faint smile.

"You've already put it that way. If I refuse, I'd just seem petty. Go on," Wang Teng said.

The man in white smiled again and slowly said, "You may not know this, but besides my knowledge, cultivation techniques, and vast wealth, my inheritance also includes my Baron Title in the Great Qian Empire."

"What!" Wang Teng's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Do not doubt it. My Baron Title is hereditary. Under the Great Qian Empire's hereditary system, aside from my blood descendants, my inheritor is likewise qualified to inherit it," the man in white said.

"Then why didn't you pass it down to your blood descendants? You lived for so long; it's impossible that you had no descendants, right?" Wang Teng asked.

"I have no descendants," the man in white said calmly.

"Uh... sorry." Wang Teng gave an awkward laugh.

"However, I have a disciple," the man in white suddenly said in a gloomy tone.

"...Can you not pause so dramatically when you speak?" Wang Teng said speechlessly, rolling his eyes. "You have a disciple, so why are you telling me this?"

"My disciple was among those who persuaded me to pursue Agu Lu back then," the man in white said. "Yet the information they gave me was false."

"So you were deceived, then set up and killed?" Wang Teng asked in astonishment.

"You could put it that way," the man in white said.
