Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1021: Chapter 60: Great Emperor vs Son of Fortune! Utter Defeat_2 Chapter 1021: Chapter 60: Great Emperor vs Son of Fortune! Utter Defeat_2 “Actually, I also guessed on several questions, and just got lucky with the right answers,” said Wang Anye humbly.

He said this, but he was thinking that if Aunt Yuxuan reported to the new recruits’ camp and Miss Artifact Spirit insisted on giving her extra lessons, one of them would surely break down, it was impossible for them to coexist peacefully.

Wu Xue Ning’s expression as she looked at Wang Anye also seemed a bit off.

This was not a matter of Wu Yiluo lacking insight, but rather that she had picked up a treasure.

In terms of appearance, demeanor, wisdom, and even talent, Wang Anye was impeccable. If there was one minor flaw, it was that the foundation of the Rank Six Prominent Family was still slightly weak.

“Humph! The kid does have some tricks up his sleeve,” Emperor Longchang said with a burning sensation on his face.

The set of questions he had produced with pride not only failed to stump Wang Anye but instead provided him with an opportunity to “make a name for himself.”

Fortunately for him, Emperor Longchang was someone who could handle losing. He waved his hand and said, “Young Anye, I admit you are quite exceptional and worthy of our Yiluo.”

“Your Majesty is too kind, Anye simply abides by his duties,” Wang Anye replied, bowing with grace. Young as he was, he displayed remarkable composure and dignity.

“I promised you a favor,” Emperor Longchang said with a now much friendlier expression. “Let’s hear it, what would you like to ask of me? Of course, if you want An Commandery Prince to be chosen as the emperor’s son outright, that’s definitely not possible.”

“Your Majesty, those words were said in jest and weren’t serious,” Wang Anye hastily replied. “If you really wish to reward me, please just give me another red envelope.”

This kid sure had a way with words, much better than his great grandfather Wang Shouzhe.

Emperor Longchang’s mood lifted considerably, and he chuckled as he waved his hand, “As the Great Emperor, my promises are as solid as gold. Fine then, if you want a red envelope, I shall award you another one, not one million, but two million Qian Gold!”

For a child, that was already a huge sum of money.

The entire annual national tax revenue of Longzuo County didn’t exceed a few million.

It was evident that Emperor Longchang was quite fond of Wang Anye, thinking of ways to groom the young boy.

“Two million?” Wang Ying Xuan and Wang Lilong exchanged glances and couldn’t help but whisper to each other, “Aunt Lilong, Anye is indeed clever. He had previously speculated that His Majesty must have overeaten, draining the national treasury and hence, was finding ways to extract money from us in Longzuo County.”

Wang Lilong also sighed softly, “Alas, even the life of a Great Emperor isn’t easy these days.”

“Exactly, even the main branch of the Wang family only gives out red envelopes of one million and fifty Qian Gold each,” Wang Ying Xuan added quietly, “Is a promise from a Great Emperor only worth two million Qian Gold? It seems he really did run out of money…”

Two young girls, a young lady and a young dragon, whispered to each other, thinking they were being discreet.

But who was Emperor Longchang?

He was the mighty Transcendent Emperor, who could hear everything clearly if he wished, even an ant crawling outside the Zhuozheng Pavilion.

Not to mention him, even a Divine Realm Powerhouse like Old Yao had long transcended ordinary human senses.

The two girls’ conversation was crystal clear to both of them, and they exchanged awkward glances, their faces turning embarrassed.

Especially Emperor Longchang who felt his face burning with the accusations. He did enjoy eating, but was there a Void Realm he could not consume?

The treasury was indeed not well-off, but was it so poor that it needed to raise taxes on Longzuo County just to satiate his appetite?

Good job, Wang Shouzhe, growing addicted to maligning me behind my back, eh? Daring to slander me before the children, claiming I oppress Longzuo County for my own gluttony?

He simply didn’t believe that was something Wang Anye had said himself.

A child’s thoughts couldn’t be that complex, could they?

And the Ding Duke’s Mansion too, a group of opportunists all. Giving each child one million and fifty Qian Gold red envelopes as if showing how rich the Ding Duke’s Mansion is.

Did they not see how poor they themselves were? Others might not know, but could he, the emperor, be unaware?

In the end, such ruthless investment was merely to hook up with the An Commandery Prince through Wang Shouzhe and aim for a major comeback with the Power of the Dragon.

Hehe, I see right through your cunning little schemes.

Judging by himself, Emperor Longchang the more he thought about it, became increasingly irritated with Wang Shouzhe and the Ding Duke’s Mansion.

He resolved to properly squeeze them later – they deserved to wear some uncomfortable shoes.

However, confronting the Ding Duke’s Mansion’s extravagant red envelope inflation was a matter for another time. Right now, it posed a huge dilemma for Emperor Longchang.

Oh, the headache!

Why did it always become so troublesome when it came to Wang family affairs?

Was Wang Shouzhe born to be his nemesis?

“Young Anye, tell me, besides the red envelope, what else do you lack in rewards? Treasures, Dan medicine, weapons, armor, all are on the table,” Emperor Longchang offered with a kind smile.

He decided to push the problem back to Wang Anye.

Qian Gold was valuable, but giving away hundreds of millions at a time was not reasonable. After all, a large country always needed cash for various uses.
