Chapter 1014: Chapter 58 So You Are Yiluo’s Fiancé (Seeking Monthly Votes) Part 2 Chapter 1014: Chapter 58 So You Are Yiluo’s Fiancé (Seeking Monthly Votes) Part 2 As the eldest great-grandson of the Family Direct Line, he had accessed the most resources since childhood and naturally shouldered far heavier responsibilities than other children. His marriage was also destined to become a part of the family’s strategic development.

Not only for him, but the same was true for his father, his grandfather, and even his great-grandfather. It was the responsibility that should be borne by someone born into the Direct Line of a Prominent Family. Therefore, regardless of whether he was willing, he ultimately had to be.

After a close examination, Wu Xuening thought that Wang Anye, despite his young age, was handsome, steady, with a demeanor that was gentlemanly and as gentle as jade.

There were many young nobles in Shangjing City, many from origins far surpassing that of a Grade Six Prominent Family, and the Imperial Household also had many outstanding youths. In terms of looks alone, they were not necessarily much inferior. Even among his peers, it was hard to find someone who could match Wang Anye’s temperament…

“He’s not that great; his physique isn’t robust enough,” Wu Xuening said with a hint of sourness, “After all, he’s from a little Grade Six Prominent Family; it seems Wu Yiluo’s taste is rather average too.”

She and Wu Yiluo were both outstanding among the younger generation of girls in the Imperial Household, and both were quite favored by the Great Emperor. On the whole, her bloodline was closer to the Great Emperor’s, belonging directly to the line descended from the Great Emperor.

Wu Yiluo was the descendant of the bloodline born after the Eldest Princess, Wu Qingluo, married into another family. Theoretically, her bloodline was slightly inferior to hers. But ironically, Wu Yiluo had awakened the most authentic Azure Dragon Bloodline of the Imperial family and, moreover, the Great Emperor had said she bore an eight or nine-tenths resemblance to the Eldest Princess Qingluo of those days…

Under the principle of ‘love me, love my dog,’ the Great Emperor was no less fond of Wu Yiluo than of Wu Xuening.

The two equally favored by the Old Ancestor, and equally outstanding Little Princesses, kept an eye on each other, yet they didn’t see eye to eye, which was a perfectly normal occurrence.

Faced with Wu Xuening’s sourness, Wang Anye merely nodded with a smile, then politely said to her and Wu Zhixing, “Regarding today’s events, I will ask for an opportunity to apologize to the Little Princess and Little Commandery Prince over a meal. At the moment, Anye has some matters to take care of, so please excuse me.”

“You go ahead with your business, Anye. Speaking of which, we also share the blame for this incident, and we’ll all gather for a meal another time,” Wu Zhixing quickly responded with a bow. He had a rather good impression of Wang Anye, sensing a kindred spirit in him.

After nodding, Wang Anye looked once more at Wu Canglong and said with genteel courtesy, “Logically speaking, as a National Guardian Divine Beast, when handling matters, one should uphold the principle of ‘fairness.’ Although my Grand Aunt Liling acted somewhat rashly, it was because the Little Commandery Prince, as an adult of the Heavenly Human Realm, took the initiative to strike and sent my niece Yingxuan, who is only eleven, flying. It was in a moment of righteous indignation that she impulsively retaliated.”

“I wonder why, upon arriving, Senior directed his ire straight at my Grand Aunt Liling without considering Zhixing Little Commandery Prince’s first move?”

“What?”

The surrounding crowd was stunned; this young man was audacious, openly challenging the National Guardian Spirit Beast. His words were civil, yet he subtly accused the elder of favoritism.

Especially Wu Zhixing, whose eyes showed a mix of surprise and uncertainty as he looked at Wang Anye.

This dashing young gentleman had been all courtesy one moment, but in the next, he had embroiled him in the issue as well.

“That’s right, that’s right,” Wang Lilong suddenly perked up with vigor, “I just can’t stand that scoundrel bullying my niece Yingxuan. She’s just an eleven-year-old little girl, sniffle, it’s simply too beastly. Righteous indignation, yes, that’s it—I was filled with righteous indignation.”

“Righteous indignation,” sounded so good to her ears; she had to remember it well for use in a future quarrel.

Scoundrel? Beastly? An eleven-year-old little girl?

Wu Zhixing’s face paled as he almost staggered.

That was no light accusation—had he merely tried to block a move for Xue Ning, his overzealous effort had inadvertently caught Yuxuan. If rumors spread, who knows what they might say about him.

“Yes, yes, I was sent flying just now, and my stomach still hurts,” Wang Ying Xuan also quickly jumped in to accuse, “An adult interfering in children’s fights, and still taking sides, is just shameless.”

“What do you mean by ‘taking sides’? It’s clearly because you, this violent and arrogant girl, got carried away and hit too hard. My Zhixing only stepped in to stop you,” Xue Ning Little Princess retorted, flustered and exasperated.

Thereupon, Wu Zhixing could no longer sit still and pulling Wu Xuening, who still wanted to speak, aside, he quickly bowed and said, “Azure Dragon Old Ancestor, let’s proceed by protocol and issue a formal public statement regarding this event. Should rumors spread unchecked, Zhixing will be unable to escape responsibility. Of course, Zhixing was indeed too hasty at the time, and did not exercise proper restraint in his actions.”

Wu Canglong narrowed his eyes, watching Wang Anye with interest, “So, you are Yiluo’s fiance, huh? Quite composed and astute for your age. But rest assured, today’s events are nothing serious, it’s just that someone…”

He paused halfway through his speech, then with a smile continued, “Alright, since you are concerned about Liling, come with me. Someone wants to meet you.”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Anye was not in a hurry, but Wang Ying Xuan was anxious.

After all, the trouble today had started with her, and now, with her safe and sound, her aunt and cousin had both been taken away. How was she going to explain to grandfather?

She quickly cut in, “No, no, if we’re to face trouble, let’s face it together; if there’s joy to share, we share it. This whole issue started because of me; I am the main culprit. If you’re going to arrest anyone, arrest me first.”
