Chapter 705: Chapter 88 Immortal Master! Group Immortal Palace? _3

“So, Zongrui has returned.” Wang Shouzhe looked him up and down, his eyebrows revealing a trace of displeasure, “How many times have I told you? You’re the legitimate son of the Wang family. You should set an example for your brothers and sisters. You should carry yourself with calmness in every gesture. Why are you so flustered?”

Wang Zongrui felt bitter in his heart.

How could he maintain his composure in this situation?

Father, oh father, even if you meet your old flame, could you please be a little more discreet? If word gets out, something big is going to happen…

“Father, who is that…” Wang Zongrui asked quietly in a weak voice.

“The head of household,” Wang Shouzhe said calmly.

… “The head of household? How come I’ve never seen her?” Wang Zongrui shook his head and gave a bitter smile. Father’s excuse isn’t suitable. He needs to come up with a new one to maintain family stability and safety.

Suddenly.

The seven-year-old Wang Yingting trotted over, blinking her curious big eyes, “Grandpa, Grandpa, Uncle Zongrui said, the woman who was just called ‘Little Snow’ is your old flame. Grandpa, what’s an old flame? Your stories never mentioned…”

Wang Zongrui was struck as if by lightning, his face pale. He had forgotten in his haste earlier that little Wang Yingting couldn’t keep a secret.

Wang Shouzhe’s cheeks twitched slightly, he looked at Wang Zongrui “kindly” and said: “Rui’er, come to think of it, it’s been a long time since we had a good talk, father and son.”

Then, the noble legitimate son of the Wang family, was brought into the study. As soon as the door was closed, Wang Zongrui’s fearful cries and pleas could be heard: “Father, I’m wrong… That’s not your… Aiyo, I’m wrong. Don’t worry, I will never tell my mother. I swear, I’ll never tell~”

But as soon as his words fell.

Liu Ruolan’s cold voice came from outside the door: “Wang Zongrui, be clear, what wouldn’t you tell me to save your life?”

“Ah, mother!? What I meant was, I’ll never tell you about father’s old flame coming to visit him…”

“Wang Shouzhe, you really do have someone else…” Liu Ruolan’s voice turned even colder, “That woman must be ‘Little Snow’, no wonder you can’t get her out of your head.”

“Wife, let me explain.” Wang Shouzhe was sweating, “This is not what you imagine.”

“Children are still in the room, I’ll wait for you in the ‘Water Moon Heavenly Pavilion’.” Liu Ruolan’s voice was getting further away, no doubt she had already gone to the Water Moon Heavenly Pavilion to wait for Wang Shouzhe.

“You troublesome kid, there was no problem originally!” Wang Shouzhe gave his son an annoyed look.

“Father, you taught me to remain calm in the face of adversities,” Wang Zongrui reminded, “You better hurry to the Water Moon Heavenly Pavilion. Remember, if you’re wrong, admit it, don’t be stubborn…”

“…” Wang Shouzhe.

…

Longzuo County is located in the southeast of Great Qian Land, while Liaoyuan County is in the northeast. Across the sea from each other, in between is a vast and boundless sea known as the “Qingluo Sea”.

Speaking of the “Qingluo Sea”, there is a story.

Emperor Longchang had an eldest princess named “Princess Qingluo”. This Princess Qingluo was intelligent from an early age and possessed exceptional talent. She was inherently a Top Grade Class A bloodline. As a child, she was deeply loved by the previous emperor.

Upon reaching adulthood, she was personally tutored by the previous emperor. Not only did her talent reach the top quality Grade B with the help of Dan medicine, she also advanced to the Divine Power Territory before the age of five hundred. Her cultivation speed was ranked at the top even among the imperial household.

In terms of being favored, only the then “Emperor’s son”, Emperor Longchang was able to match her.

And she was worthy of the previous emperor’s love; she made a name for herself on the battlefield at a young age.

As a reward for her contributions, the previous emperor left a will, granting Princess Qingluo’s descendants the right to retain their mother’s surname “Wu”, be included in the imperial family genealogy, and the same as other princes’ descendants, the right to participate in the “Emperor’s son competition”.

After ascending to the throne, Emperor Longchang heavily relied on her. Among the many princes, none could outshine her.

In her lifetime, Princess Qingluo made countless contributions to the Great Qian Land on the battlefield. Her valiant contributions outmatched several of the current princes of Great Qian Land and were highly regarded as a War Goddess by her generation.

In the Great Qian Land, numerous female Profound Martial cultivators of high-grade families idolized her.

Unfortunately, her life was cut short; Princess Qingluo tragically met an accident on the battlefield and died before reaching twelve hundred-year-old. Her sudden death caused a major uproar in the Great Qian Land.

At the time, Liaoyuan County’s coastal area was being developed. Emperor Longchang, overwhelmed with grief, named the developing sea area “Qingluo Sea” to commemorate his beloved daughter.

Over the years, as the Great Qian Land’s development of the sea area increased, the size of the Qingluo Sea also expanded. Now, the “safe sea area” of the Qingluo Sea is three or four times larger than before, bringing considerable economic benefits to the Great Qian Land.

At this moment, in a reef bay to the north of the Qingluo Sea, several large ships were moored.

These ships were made of colossal wood, with a roaring red dragon painted on their bodies. The bow was raised up high, with thick metal cladding along the edges, emitting a chilling coldness.

Unlike the flat-bottomed riverboats, these sea ships had pointed bottoms, as the sea was deep and the waves were rough. Flat-bottomed boats could easily capsize, only pointed-bottomed boats could withstand the waves.
