Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1013: Chapter 58 So You Are Yiluo’s Fiancé (Seeking Monthly Votes) Chapter 1013: Chapter 58 So You Are Yiluo’s Fiancé (Seeking Monthly Votes) Just then, a figure emerged from the shadows and hovered not far from Wu Canglong, bowing respectfully and saying, “This is Wang Zhouhua of Ding Duke’s Mansion, greeting Elder Canglong.”

He had braced himself to come forward, never having imagined that the children of the Changning Wang Clan could cause such trouble. Unwittingly, they had stirred up a major incident, alarming Elder Canglong.

“Ding Duke’s Mansion, ah…” Wu Canglong’s expression softened slightly. “I say, young Zhouhua, I sensed earlier that you were hiding in the dark. What, is this little scale dragon a spirit pet raised by your mansion?”

Wu Canglong and Emperor Longchang were different; he had fought side by side with the Founding Emperor and had also had a good relationship with the Wang family’s Old Ancestor Dingxuan. Back when his strength was not as great as it is now, he had even been saved by the Wang family’s Old Ancestor.

“Reporting to Elder Canglong”, Wang Zhouhua said with a bitter look, “That child Liling, belongs to a branch of our Changning Wang Clan in Ding Duke’s Mansion, and she is the legitimate daughter entered into the clan’s registers by the current Family Head.”

“Changning Wang Clan? They have been rising in fame lately; I’ve heard they are an emerging family with great potential.” Wu Canglong smiled meaningfully. “It doesn’t seem they completely disgrace the Little Azure Dragon.”

“Yes, yes.” Wang Zhouhua honestly echoed, “Liling doesn’t know the rules of Return to Dragon City, and it’s our Ding Duke’s Mansion who has failed in our teaching duties. Our mansion will take responsibility for all the damages caused this time.”

Wu Canglong waved his hand, “The matter of compensation can wait. Kids are impulsive and cannot hold their peace; this sort of minor squabble isn’t the first, we just deal with it as usual. Divide responsibilities, tally the losses, everyone pays according to the rules. But I see that both Xue Ning and Zhixing are also responsible, it shouldn’t be your mansion alone bearing the brunt.”

“Thank you, Elder Canglong.” Wang Zhouhua bowed gratefully. “May I then take Liling back first and have Master Shouzhe discipline her?”

“Although Liling has been entered into the Wang family’s registers, she is ultimately the descendant of that old dragon-head from the Southern Wilderness. Looking at the density of her bloodline after transforming into a dragon body, it’s much purer than the ordinary Dragon Clan, probably a direct descendant of the old dragon-head.” Wu Canglong continued, his ears twitching slightly as if receiving a message, then swiftly his eyes darted about, and with a flick of his sleeve, he said, “This is a serious matter. If you want to take Liling back, it’s better to have Master Shouzhe personally explain it to His Majesty.”

Wang Zhouhua’s heart skipped a beat.

Is that so? A children’s fight could actually involve His Majesty?

His Majesty has always shown less favor to Ding Duke’s Mansion, recently even giving Longzuo County and the Changning Wang Clan a hard time over taxes. Could it be that His Majesty will take this opportunity to make things difficult for the Changning Wang Clan?

In that case, Master Shouzhe might have trouble on his hands, for Emperor Longchang is not an easy person to deal with.

Just then.

Twelve-year-old Wang Anye stepped forward, adjusted his demeanor, and bowed from a distance to Wu Canglong: “Changning Wang Clan’s Anye, greets Elder Canglong.”

Despite his young age, he was well-behaved and sensible. Being the Young Clan Leader, he was destined to shoulder heavy responsibilities from birth, and his nature possessed a composure uncommon among his peers.

This contrast between his age and mature demeanor impressed Wu Canglong, who took a keen interest and said, “Young man, are you also trying to catch a dragon? I advise you to go back and bring your Wang Shouzhe here.”

“Not at all”, Anye replied calmly, clasping his hands, “It’s just that I’ve heard the elder is a brother of the Founding Emperor and had battled in foreign lands. Now a Guardian Divine Beast protecting Da Qian’s Ping’an. Now that the elder is present, Anye can’t help but feel admiration and must pay his respects.”

The boy speaks so well.

Wu Canglong’s gaze softened further, and he smiled lightly, “In those days, I was merely one of the emperor’s beasts in battle, fortunate enough to live long enough. As for the title of Divine Beast, I’m far from it, barely half a National Guardian Spirit.”

“Anye? Wang Anye? Why does this name sound so familiar?”

As the two spoke, Commandery Princess Xue Ning on the side furrowed her brow slightly and murmured under her breath.

“Grand Aunt, think about Princess Yiluo”, Wu Zhixing whispered a reminder.

“Yiluo? What’s good about that brat—wait a minute!” Xue Ning’s beautiful face suddenly showed a look of astonishment, “I remember now, isn’t Wu Yiluo’s betrothed named Wang Anye?”

An Commandery Prince was one of the two Quasi Emperor’s Sons, and his rising momentum naturally attracted much attention. Wu Yiluo was his only daughter, deeply favored by the Great Emperor, who personally named her Yiluo, recalling the beloved elder daughter Wu QingLuo that the emperor had sired while still a Quasi Emperor’s Son.

It is clear the emperor regards Wu Yiluo almost as a daughter.

Although the engagement of Wu Yiluo and Wang Anye was handled discreetly, it still could not be concealed from attentive observers, thus Anye’s name also entered the ears of Da Qian’s high-ranking officials.

“You, you, you…” Xue Ning stepped forward briskly, scrutinizing Wang Anye up and down, “Are you Wu Yiluo’s fiancé?”

“I’ve met the little princess Xue Ning; indeed, I am”, Anye replied.

Although deep down, he was somewhat resistant to the arranged marriage and did not have a good impression of Wu Yiluo. But who would have thought that he, being the Young Clan Leader from birth, had to carry such a mantle?
