Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 871: Chapter 27 The Wang Family Gains the Purple Abode! The Green Jiao Transforms into a Dragon (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

The water here is too deep, far too deep.

An Commandery Prince shivered in his heart, quickly reined in his thoughts, and pretended he hadn’t noticed anything as he remarked, “Having Shouzhe’s assistance is the greatest fortune for me, Wu Mingyuan.”

However, he thought to himself that his future son-in-law Anye having Lu Wei’s Pride’s bloodline might not be such a bad thing after all.

…

West Sea Prefecture.

As one of the several Da Qian rivers, Peace River’s basin includes a portion that lies within West Sea Prefecture, overlapping with the largest freshwater lake in the prefecture, West Sea.

On the Peace River, there is a gorge called “Flying Eagle Gorge.”

The torrential river waters split here: one part continued flowing eastward, while the other merged with West Sea.

From a bird’s eye view, this scene was vast and magnificent, with the endless expanse of West Sea unfolding slowly ahead, reflecting the sky and the clouds, involuntarily arousing admiration for the majestic power of nature.

Near the gorge.

On the towering rocks, a middle-aged man dressed in simple fisherman’s attire, sporting stubble, continuously cast and reeled in his Luya Rod.

He wore a conical hat and wooden clogs, the very image of a fisherman; yet, his whole aura exuded an indescribable dominance and strength, clearly no ordinary man.

Behind the middle-aged man stood two burly men.

One of them, bald-headed with a striking scar from his left eye to his mouth, looked fierce and formidable, the very image of ferocity.

He stood arms folded, straight and stiff, behind the middle-aged man, appearing like a loyal bodyguard.

The other burly man was idly leaning against a rock.

He was eight feet tall, his physique all sinew and muscle, clad in a rough leather armory, dressed rather casually, but his hands were as white as jade, exquisitely maintained like fine porcelain, which contrasted starkly with the rest of his rugged appearance.

If Wang Shouzhe were here, he would recognize at once that the unassuming middle-aged man was none other than Long Wuji, the leader of Jiaolong Gang.

The burly man standing arms folded was his adopted son, Zhao Wu Qing, the Great Commander of Jiaolong Gang, who had once been captured by them.

As for the other, his hands white as jade, he was naturally the third master of Jiaolong Gang, the Slaughter Spirit Hand “Du TianGang.”

Suddenly.

Long Wuji, who was reeling in his catch with the Luya Rod, had a slight change in expression. His actions suddenly altered and soon, a lively West Sea Snowy Skin Fish was pulled up.

Seeing this, Zhao Wu Qing, who was behind him, leapt forth agilely and expertly clasped the gills of the Spirit Fish, rendering its struggles futile.

“Leader, your Luya skills have improved quite a bit,” Du TianGang remarked with a rough, loud voice and a grin, “Just this morning, you’ve already caught two three-pound and five two-pound Snowy Skin Spirit Fish, releasing those under two pounds.”

“After practicing for so long, of course, the skills should improve,” Long Wuji casually put down the Luya Rod, satisfied, and leaned against a nearby rock, “It’s a pity that the Snowy Skin Fish here in West Sea are still too small. It would be amazing to catch five-pounders. I’ve heard that near the Green Luo Guard in the Dongfang seas, some superior cold sea Spirit Fish can put up a really addictive fight.”

Despite saying this, Long Wuji appeared very smug. The West Sea Snowy Skin Spirit Fish were always extraordinarily expensive tributes, commanding high prices in Return to Dragon City. But, these Spirit Fish moved swiftly, diving deep into the sea the moment there was any disturbance, making them very difficult to catch with nets.

It was unexpected that fishing for Snowy Skin Spirit Fish with a Luya Rod would be this easy.

Following Long Wuji’s lead, Du TianGang praised him a few more times, then said with a beaming smile, “Leader, I’ve heard that Qingluo Guard in Longzuo County is flourishing more and more, and even the goods passing from us have increased. Last time, one of my guys went there disguised to scout, came back as if he’d lost his soul. It would be great if we could have such a territory as well~”

Speaking, he paused and looked at Long Wuji with a hint of expectation, “Since there are no more pirates at sea now, and the Cao Family has declined, how about we acquire a few sea ships and expand our business to the sea?”

Long Wuji shot him a glance, a cold light flitting across his deep eyes, “What, thinking of going back to your old ways, returning to our original trade?”

“No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare~” Du TianGang was chilled by that stare, he quickly waved his hands to show his innocence, “With the court’s crackdown on pirates much stronger than before, I’m not a fool to rush into the line of fire. I’m talking about legitimate business, purely legitimate.”

“You still have some sense,” Long Wuji withdrew his gaze, returning to his languid demeanor, “Qingluo Guard might be prosperous, but isn’t that all built up by Wang Shouzhe? As long as we can get the Wang family on board with us, what’s there to worry about making money?”

“Exactly, exactly. Wise leader,” Du TianGang quickly agreed.

“A truly smart person should not only see what’s right before his eyes, but look farther beyond. Qingluo Sea is merely a near-sea port; beyond the vast oceans lies a broader world,” Long Wuji gazed toward the distant sea, his eyes deep, his expression proud, somewhat like he was strategizing over an empire,” When Wang Shouzhe joins us in the future, I’ll have him help me plan—we’ll explore overseas together, discover other continents. Then, I’ll lead you all in achieving noble ranks and titles!”
