Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 863: Chapter 25 Shou Zhe Sternly Reproaches Liu Ruolan_4

Just when Wang Shouzhe was basking in his pride, Liu Ruolan had unknowingly already positioned herself charmingly by his side, holding a bowl of freshly reheated lotus seed soup.

“My dear, how was my strategy today? Does it not deserve the title ‘grand vision’?” Wang Shouzhe waved his sleeve with a sense of accomplishment as if his “strategical wisdom would establish an eternal foundation” and then turned to Liu Ruolan, “Of course, this little trick of mine would certainly not have succeeded without your sacrificising your image to cooperate fully.”

As he spoke, he picked up the lotus seed soup and drank it in one gulp, smacking his lips, feeling a warmth in his heart.

Although the lotus seed soup had a “unique flavor,” his wife truly cared for him, having even reheated it for him.

Instantly, his heart felt warm, filled with endless drive.

For this blissful small home, and the cozy larger family, what do hardships or exhaustion count for Wang Shouzhe?

“Husband, you’ve finished your lotus seed soup, and your boasting too,” Liu Ruolan’s eyes hinted a trace of coldness, “It’s time to settle the matter of you scolding me.”

“My dear… I did that for Yuxuan.” Wang Shouzhe felt a chill on his back, a bad premonition washing over him.

“But, you scolded me.”

Liu Ruolan took a casual step closer, a more severe glint appearing in her eyes.

“My dear, I did it for the children of the Wang family.” Wang Shouzhe unconsciously stepped back, feeling somewhat faint-hearted.

“I said, you scolded me.”

The chill emanating from Liu Ruolan intensified.

“My dear, I did it for the eternal foundation of our clan! Most importantly, we discussed and agreed on this plan together—you agreed too,” Wang Shouzhe felt utterly wronged.

“I know, but you scolding me is a fact.”

“Liu Ruolan, don’t think I’m easy to bully. You may be the Great Heavenly Proud, but I’m not easily provoked either.”

“Heh~ Then try me,” Liu Ruolan scoffed coldly.

“If you want a trial, let’s have a trial,” Wang Shouzhe retorted with a cold laugh.

Then, clashing sounds erupted in Clan Leader Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard, interspersed with him occasionally exclaiming, “Liu Ruolan, don’t overdo it, I’m letting you win.”

Then, another round of clamorous fighting noises followed, mixed with painful screams.

Such commotion naturally alarmed most of the clan members.

Many clan members were deeply concerned, their expressions very grave. Indeed, for the education of the Wang children, the couple of the Family Head had started to quarrel.

Master Shouzhe truly had it rough~

Unfortunately, they couldn’t offer any help.

The clan members listened for a while but couldn’t bear it any longer. They had no choice but to shut their doors and tightly close their windows, pretending not to hear.

After a moment, they even picked up the children they had just scolded and scolded them again, as a way of indirectly supporting Master Shouzhe.

Even Old Ancestor Longyan, who had just returned to Long Yan Habitat from abroad and was resting, felt a frown creep across her face after hearing what happened, overwhelmed with sympathy.

“This child, Shouzhe, is struggling so hard for the strong foundation of the family~ I, Wang Longyan, can’t help much, but I can at least continue cultivating diligently and strive to achieve the Purple Abode Realm sooner, becoming a real protector for the family,” Old Ancestor Longyan resolved firmly as she then closed off her six senses from the outside world, ignoring Wang Shouzhe’s covert calls for help, and entered a phase of secluded cultivation.

“Liu Ruolan, don’t be ungrateful! This is the Main Residence, and I am letting you win in front of our clan members,” Wang Shouzhe having no other recourse deployed his final “move,” “If you dare, let’s settle this at Water Moon Heavenly Pavilion.”

“Hmm~ You two indeed often meet secretly while I sleep~”

As Wang Shouzhe finished speaking, the quality of Liu Ruolan’s voice in the small courtyard transformed dramatically but was only heard by Wang Shouzhe.

“Ruoling? I’m done for!”

Wang Shouzhe’s heart instantly plunged into the abyss.
