…

In the end, Wang Shouzhe still could not avoid that calamity.

Water Moon Heavenly Pavilion had become an indelible mark in Wang Shouzhe’s life.

The unpredictability of Liu Ruoling’s appearance also added a touch of thrilling excitement to his otherwise calm life, occasionally bringing him “fright” or “delight.”

However, this process usually started with fright, followed by delight, and then fright again… The experience truly filled Wang Shouzhe’s heart with mixed emotions, making him sigh at the cruelty of fate.

Five days later.

Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan returned to their cozy family courtyard and resumed their warm yet mundane everyday life, as if that fierce battle of the night had never occurred.

The clan members, upon hearing of the couple’s grand battle that night, were somewhat curious about the outcome but wisely refrained from asking too much.

After all, according to some clan members who went to report and consult on work, the Family Head appeared somewhat pale and seemed somewhat frail, likely having been at a disadvantage.

Therefore, the clan members who adored the Family Head buried this incident deep in their hearts and also made a silent resolution to properly educate the family’s children not to bother the Family Head any more—He had it tough enough already.

That day.

Was like any other.

Except that there was a mysterious woman in Wang Shouzhe’s study.

She wore a water-blue Profound Martial battle dress, her figure was curvy and attractive, her hair was tied up at one-third its length, she wore a mysterious veil on her face, and a longsword hung on her back, making her look heroic yet ethereal.

What caused Wang Shouzhe’s cheeks to twitch was that she bore a faint resemblance to Li Yao, even some of her small accessories were almost identical.

“Hao Commandery Prince comes from a direct line of the Emperor’s second son, and although this branch of the family isn’t very prosperous, it does include a Prince and over ten Commandery Princes…” While the mysterious woman was reporting information, she noticed that Wang Shouzhe was somewhat distracted and couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly, “Family Head, I am reporting information to you, please focus.”

“…” Wang Shouzhe’s eyelid twitched, and he couldn’t help muttering, “Wang Mei, dressed like this, how do you expect me to concentrate?”

This mysterious woman was none other than the most miraculous head of household of the Wang family—Wang Mei.

“Family Head, this is the most popular dress among women in Return to Dragon City now,” Wang Mei flipped her hair nonchalantly and said, “Ever since Miss Li Yao swept through Shangjing City and dominated her peers to become invincible, her style of dress has become incredibly popular. I also wanted to ease your longing for your beloved daughter, Family Head, do not be distracted by inappropriate thoughts.”

At that moment.

Wang Shouzhe’s brow twitched, feeling an impulse to throw her out. What kind of bizarre idea was this?

“Let’s stick to business.”

Wang Shouzhe sipped his tea, forcibly suppressing his urge to lash out.

Every time Wang Mei came to report work, she wore a different outfit, and each time she left him at a loss. This time she even dressed up like Li Yao—what would be next, dressing up like Ruolan?

Such that Wang Shouzhe was almost forgetting what she originally looked like.

Wait a minute…

Wang Shouzhe’s brow furrowed slightly, descending into thought.

What did Wang Mei originally look like?

“Hao Commandery Prince has always been exceptionally talented, with a strong bloodline, and entered into the Military System for training. Due to his divine strategy in warfare and always being the first to engage in critical situations, he has reversed adverse battle situations several times and thus has earned the title ‘Little Military God,’ and is greatly loved by the soldiers within the Military System,” Wang Mei reported seriously.

As Wang Shouzhe listened, browsed through the information on the papers, he couldn’t help frowning and said, “This person not only has the desire to govern, but he is also a military genius. Coupled with his exceptional origin, he does sound like a perfect candidate for Great Emperor.”

“Exactly,” Wang Mei nodded, “Even though the competition for Emperor’s son hadn’t started before, Hao Commandery Prince already had a high support rate within the Imperial Household and Military System, far surpassing the current Kang Commandery Prince. If it hadn’t been for his unfortunate pursuit of an enemy force deep into foreign battlefields right before the competition started, leading to his ambush and subsequent fall in that foreign battlefield, there would have been no doubt in this competition for Emperor’s son.”

“His résumé and character are quite good,” Wang Shouzhe examined Hao Commandery Prince’s past closely and analyzed his personality, “This person’s commanding presence, quite indeed has the makings of a bold and visionary leader. He could be a great Emperor, far surpassing Kang Commandery Prince and An Commandery Prince. No wonder, An Commandery Prince has such high regard for him.”

Previously, when An Commandery Prince mentioned his “Brother Emperor Hao,” Wang Shouzhe had been cautious and commanded Wang Mei to investigate further.

Accustomed to relying on intelligence and predicting the enemy’s moves, Wang Shouzhe naturally wouldn’t miss such important information, especially given Hao Commandery Prince’s significant influence on An Commandery Prince’s development.

“Can you find out how he fell on the foreign battlefield?” Wang Shouzhe half-closed his eyes, rhythmically tapping his fingers on the desk, “There are some doubts about this. Judging by the results presented by his previous battles, Hao Commandery Prince indeed has a daring spirit, often employs cunning plans, yet his strategies are very meticulous. And he was well aware of the perils of fighting in a foreign battlefield; he wouldn’t have ventured there lightly without substantial benefit.”

“Family Head, about Hao Commandery Prince’s matter, Emperor Longchang has already issued a strict order forbidding discussion about it, and the information on that battle has also been sealed,” Wang Mei said helplessly, “The time you gave me was too short. If you give me some time to investigate slowly, perhaps there will be some findings.”
