He Speaks So Well!

_2 Chapter 577: Chapter 45 Is This the Big Boss?

He Speaks So Well!

_2 To put it crudely, in the entire Changning Guard Region, even a fart from him, Wang Shouzhe, was louder than a roar from Wei Wenxun.

Just like the Changning Ferry Terminal, Wang Shouzhe took jurisdiction under the pretense of government inaction.

He only symbolically gave a bit of “lease fees,” there were many such instances.

… Of course, as the City Lord, he also reaped many benefits.

And regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he indeed earned a lot of merits.

Over time, Wei Wenxun became resigned.

Whatever the Wang family wanted to do, they did.

After enduring another ten or so years, once he had gained enough experience, he would be transferred elsewhere.

However, he never imagined that one day he would find himself embroiled in the internal struggles of the Grade Five Prominent Families, as well as the big whirlpool with the Lingyun Holy Ground involved.

He was dragged into all of this by Wang Shouzhe himself.

Being the City Lord, was he really the scapegoat?

“City Lord, you must not say such things,” Wang Shouzhe joked with a bow, “Our Wang family has always held the City Lord in high regard.

However, this matter is of great significance, and we beg for your impartial judgement.”

“Impartial judgement?” Wei Wenxun’s eyelids twitched, and an ominous feeling shot up in his heart, “What do you mean by impartiality, Master Shouzhe?”

“Naturally, it means to go through the formalities, and hand over the case to the Governor’s Mansion of Longzuo County.

We must not conceal anything or frame anyone.

If we need to issue a wanted notice, then we should issue it, if we need to interrogate someone, then we should interrogate them.” Wang Shouzhe said with a “righteous” look on his face, “we must capture the fugitive as soon as possible.”

Wei Wenxun almost fainted from shock.

The one who had escaped was a Sky Pride from the Purple Xiao branch of the Lingyun Holy Ground.

Was he supposed to issue a wanted order for the Holy Land’s Sky Pride?

He was just a small City Lord, how could he offend such a big figure?

Why was he, an innocent person, dragged into your quarrels between immortals?

On the other hand, Qian Xuehan, who was very astute, immediately grasped Wang Shouzhe’s intentions.

He immediately rushed over, draped himself over Wei Wenxun, crying bitterly, “City Lord, save me!

I am Qian Xuehan, the heir of the Purple Abode’s Qian family, I want to report a crime, I want to file a case!”

Wei Wenxun was startled by his yell, and his scalp went numb.

However, he also knew that he wouldn’t be able to escape this.

Given his position and stance, the best course of action was to do everything by the book.

As Wang Shouzhe said, he wouldn’t cover anything up or slander anyone.

Anyway, he was just an innocent City Lord who got involved.

This was too big of a matter for him to decide on.

Let the Prefectural Governor worry about it~

However, Master Shouzhe, could you be any more cunning?

…

As Wang Shouzhe and his people were dividing the spoils of war and discussing how to go through the legal process and preparing summon notices to arrest Cao Youqing.

Several hundred miles away from the incident spot, in a part of the East Sea Area.

A purple ray of thunder streaked across the sky like a meteor and plummeted into the rough sea.

“Zzz~”

Between the flickering electric spark, a group of nearby swimming fishes were electrocuted and floated to the surface belly-up.

After a good while, a figure, battered and exhausted, emerged from the water surface.

This figure was naturally Cao Youqing.

Her veil had long since fallen off, revealing a stunning face with delicate features under it.

However, at this moment, her face was deathly pale and her eyes were ablaze with rage, a mix of fury and reluctance: “Damned Wang Longyan!

Damned Qian Xuehan!

I will absolutely not reconcile with you!”

By now, how could she not realize that she had fallen for a trap set by them?

Not to mention that her original plans now lay in ruins, she herself was almost implicated in it.

Compared to this humiliation, the fact that she lost an “Evil King Kong” wasn’t so grievous.

That was just a subordinate she picked up while she was on the Holy Land’s mission, why would she be bothered about it?

Who was she, Cao Youqing?

She was the “Immortal Child Youqing” of the Holy Land, a Sky Pride destined to become the Master of Purple Xiao.

Countless young elites were more than willing to lie at her feet and become bootlickers.

How could she endure such humiliation and failure?

“Wang Longyan, Wang Shouzhe!

I will remember you!” Cao Youqing furiously slapped the sea, causing waves to crash.

“This debt, I will repay with interest.”

“Pfft!”

Just as her words fell, she felt a sweetness in her throat and a gush of accumulated blood spurted out.

Due to insufficient cultivation level, she forcefully used “Purple Xiao Thunder Escape” which caused significant backlash.

Both her internal organs and meridians were seriously injured.

This reckless use of Mysterious Energy only added salt to the wound.

It took a while before all the accumulated blood was vomited out and she felt a bit better.

Cao Youqing wiped off the blood from the corner of her mouth with an ugly expression.

The injury was more severe than she had anticipated.

Even though she had holy healing medicine with her, she couldn’t recover completely in a short amount of time.

If she wasn’t careful, she might even cause permanent damage and leave behind hidden dangers.

Out of desperation, she had to find a nameless little island in the sea to isolate herself and heal.

She made a mental note of this debt.

She would confront Wang Longyan and Wang Shouzhe once she had recovered from her injuries.

…

A few days later.

At the Dingpu Ferry Terminal, Wang Shouzhe, accompanied by Elder Longyan and other important family members, sent off Qian Xuehan and Elder Qian Jingde, who were visiting on behalf of the Wang Family.
