Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 621: Chapter 59 Tragedy!

Wang Shihai_2 Chapter 621: Chapter 59 Tragedy!

Wang Shihai_2 Then, he found an excuse to leave with the elders.

Throughout the entire process, he was neither too cold nor overly friendly, but remained courteous.

He merely fulfilled the expected social etiquette.

In Wang Shouzhe’s view, naturally he wouldn’t blame Southern Desert’s Wang family.

Even the current Longzuo Wang family has very little interaction with the Southern Desert Wang family, not to mention the smaller branch of the Changning Wang family.

… They were very estranged from each other, and there was a large gap in their status, so naturally, they could not become overly friendly.

If it hadn’t been for Southern Desert Wang family’s previous negligence in welcoming them, perhaps this feast would have only been treated as a formality by Wang Zonghao.

The maximum he would consider it as, would be an obligation carried out by a Celestial Elder.

As the Clan Leader, all Wang Zonghao needed to do was present when Wang Shouzhe and the others were leaving, prepare a gift to give to the Changning Wang clan, and that would be considered as fulfilling the necessary etiquette between fellow clans.

This was why Wang Shouzhe didn’t want to alert the Southern Desert Wang family on this occasion.

Given the relationship, feelings and status of the families, it would be enough to go through the motions.

Wang Shouzhe wouldn’t even be able to meet the Purple Abode Old Ancestor of the Southern Desert Wang family, so notifying them would be meaningless.

…

The only unfortunate one was Wang Shihai, who was grabbed by his father to perform the duties of escort and guide for the Changning Wang family during their stay in Southern Desert.

Early the next morning,

He reluctantly ran to the courtyard where Wang Shouzhe was temporarily staying and cordially invited him to visit the city, silently praying that Wang Shouzhe would reject his offer so he could be freed from such a chore.

The two thousand Qian Gold that his father had left for him to use for hospitality could also be pocketed if managed wisely.

Two thousand Qian Gold was a considerable sum for him.

“Shihai, thank you for getting up so early to accommodate us.” Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, “I initially intended to rest for a few days due to the fatigue from the journey.

But considering your sincere efforts, it would be heartless to let them go to waste.

Let’s go and take a stroll with you.”

Wang Shihai almost choked on his breath.

In his heart, he rolled his eyes.

Who would blame you for letting them down?

You’re free to let me down.

Please, don’t be soft-hearted.

Unfortunately, Wang Shouzhe seemed to be in a good mood and headed towards the main gate with Wang Shihai.

Behind him and a yard away, a Puppet named “Wang Shuzhu” followed him like a shadow.

He was covered in a black robe, his face was not visible and his footsteps were silent, quite low-key.

“Is this a puppet guard?” Wang Shihai curiously said, “A puppet guard at the level of the Spirit Platform Realm is worth a magical treasure.

You really were willing to buy this useless thing.” He muttered quietly to himself, “Show off!”

A puppet guard of the Spiritual Platform Realm can play a major role in a 9th rank family.

But in the eyes of a Purple Abode Family, this item is as useless as chicken ribs, nowhere near as practical as a low-grade magical treasure.

After all, once a family reaches the 5th grade Purple Abode, cultivators at the level of the Spiritual Platform Realm are almost a standard configuration.

Unless they are genuinely untalented or born to a concubine and not hard-working.

Most Wang family members with normal bloodlines would have a Spiritual Platform Realm cultivator.

It was only Long Wuji who could guess the true nature of the puppet “Wang Shuzhu”.

How could Wang Shihai have the ability to understand its true intent?

“I just picked it up.

After a few repairs, it was usable so I just kept using it.” Wang Shouzhe casually laughed and said, “Our Changning Wang Family is only 7th rank, so I’m quite satisfied with this puppet guard.”

Wang Shihai made a face but didn’t say anything more.

However, as the two continued to walk outside, they encountered some youngsters on their way to the clan school or to the training grounds for cultivation.

Their faces changed greatly at the sight of Wang Shihai and they scattered as if they had encountered a great demon.

Even a frail, delicate little girl, who did not have the time to run away, fell to her knees on the ground because of fear and began to cry loudly: “Demonic Grandpa, don’t eat Peach Peach, Peach Peach is very scared.”

Wang Shouzhe’s mouth twitched and he looked at Wang Shihai in an odd way.

What kind of existence was this boy that he could scare a bunch of children like this?

Unfair!

So unfair~

Wang Shihai almost spat out blood from anger.

Normally, he just had a short temper and had beaten a few young kids before.

But eating people and such was just a rumor!

Moreover, he didn’t even recognize this girl who looked like a bean sprout.

The Southern Desert Wang family was large, with many people, so it was impossible for Wang Shihai to recognize all the children.

The sobbing of the little girl annoyed him, and as usual, he would have just left.

But out of fear of causing a bad reputation for the Southern Desert Wang family due to the presence of an “elder” from the same clan, Wang Shihai stiffly went to comfort the little girl.

As expected, the little girl cried even more loudly.

Left with no other option, he took out a red packet from his pocket and slipped it to her: “Alright, alright, your uncle Shihai apologizes.

Consider this red packet as compensation.”

The red packet was the one Wang Shouzhe had given him the other day.

He had forgotten about it after keeping it in his pocket, he didn’t open it to check.

Figuring it was probably around one hundred Qian Gold, he thought of giving it to the young child to ward off misfortune.

Seeing this, Wang Shouzhe’s mouth twitched, and he gave Wang Shihai a sympathetic look.

The little girl, however, was very peculiar.

As soon as she received the red packet, she clung to it, and stopped crying, wiping away her tears and said earnestly: “Thank you, Demon Grandpa.

Demon Grandpa is a good person.”

“What’s your name?” Wang Shihai forced a smile, put on a gentle facade, and patted her head.

“My name is Wang Mei Tao, but Demon Grandpa can call me Peach Peach.” Wang Mei Tao could not help herself and started to untie the red packet.

As she untied one corner, a hint of purple came into sight.
