Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1644: Chapter 111: Can You Know Anye and Rich? _3

“Ancestor Grandpa, I was not being mischievous…” The Duchess of Luo Jia bowed with a somewhat aggrieved expression, “I believe in the character of Young Master Shou Ye. He definitely wouldn’t casually slander the Wei King’s Mansion.”

“Presumptuous!” Emperor Yuan Ping said angrily, “Your friend has character, but does that mean the Wei King’s Mansion doesn’t have character?”

“Ancestor Grandpa, you are right, it’s all Ling Xiao’s fault.” The Duchess of Luo Jia’s eyes shifted, and she suddenly changed her attitude, pitifully saying, “Ling Xiao is willing to apologize to His Highness the Wei King.”

“If apologies were useful, what would be the use of laws?” Emperor Yuan Ping said angrily, “The Wei Kings of all generations have been the backbone of our Great Zhou, and Bo Yu is the spine of our Great Zhou…”

“Your Majesty, let it go, let it go.” Wei King Wei Boyu hurriedly advised, “Right and wrong are clear in people’s hearts. The Duchess of Luo Jia just temporarily listened to the words of petty people. It’s better to drop the matter now to avoid damaging harmony.”

“No.” Emperor Yuan Ping said sternly, “Bo Yu previously said that etiquette cannot be abolished, and the law cannot be abolished either. It’s understandable that the Dongqian Mission guests might misunderstand the Wei King due to lack of familiarity, but how could Ling Xiao be so confused? If not severely punished, how can the wrongs of the Wei King’s Mansion be washed away?”

Crap.

Wei Boyu secretly thought things were not looking good, and he also felt some regret.

Emperor Yuan Ping seemed bent on not letting this go easily.

It was also his own fault for being too hasty. If he hadn’t stepped forward, how could he have allowed Emperor Yuan Ping to sense something unusual and seize the opportunity? Yet if he hadn’t stepped forward, the situation would have been equally unfavorable given the Duchess of Luo Jia’s persistence.

Blame it on that Dongqian lad. Is he really confident, or just talking nonsense?

Everyone’s eyes simultaneously turned toward Wang Shouye.

“…”

Wang Shouye was speechless.

He, although obsessed with alchemy and not fond of politics, was not a fool. It now appeared he had become a sharp blade in Emperor Yuan Ping’s hand, poised to strike the Wei King’s Mansion.

“Young Master Shou Ye, it’s Ling Xiao who dragged you into this.” The Duchess of Luo Jia apologized through voice transmission, “You are an elegant and virtuous gentleman. If you wish not to get involved in disputes, I can assure you no one will dare to force you. At worst, I’ll reveal my extraordinary bloodline, which will surely influence Ancestor Grandpa’s decision.”

“It’s okay. Can anyone in the world avoid disputes?” Wang Shouye replied calmly through voice transmission, “Since my Wang Clan members have come with the mission to Great Zhou, it naturally means my fourth brother has plans to step into the Great Zhou market. By then, it won’t matter if we cooperate with the Great Zhou Imperial Household or the Wei King’s Mansion, one will inevitably be offended; trying to please both is just wishful thinking.”

“Since Lady Ling Xiao and I are old acquaintances and I disfavor the Wei King’s Mansion, I shall first forge a good relationship for my fourth brother.”

Luo Jia, although not understanding who exactly this “fourth brother” of his was, felt relieved at the decision of Young Master Shou Ye, and quickly replied through voice transmission: “Then I trouble Young Master Shou Ye to expose the Wei King’s Mansion’s tricks. Regardless of the outcome, if your family conducts business in my Great Zhou, I, Ling Xiao, will ensure your clan’s unhindered passage.”

The rapid exchange between the two swiftly reached a mutual understanding.

Wang Shouye stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, “I am Wang Shouye of the Changning Wang Clan from Longzuo of Da Qian, paying respects to Emperor Yuan Ping.”

His demeanor was calm and composed, even in the presence of two Void Realm experts, he showed no fear.

After all, he interacted with many in the Void Realm back home, and Emperor Longchang was so “approachable” that he naturally didn’t feel much awe toward the Void Realm Emperor.

Sheng Commandery Prince also hurried to step forward, pay respects, and added, “Reporting to Emperor Yuan Ping, Senior Shou Ye is the second-ranked Alchemy Grandmaster in our Da Qian, with his alchemy skills second only to the Profound Pill Enlightened One of the Lingyun Holy Ground.”

He had to elevate Wang Shouye’s status to prevent others from thinking him easy to bully.

Second Alchemy Grandmaster in Dongqian?

With this identity revealed, everyone’s gaze toward him changed.

Not only did the younger generation present show respect, but even the Cultivators of the Divine Power Territory no longer regarded him as a junior. They considered him a figure of great importance, and the facial expressions of the two Void Realm majestic figures became much more serious and solemn.

To be so young and already the second Alchemy Grandmaster in Dongqian, not to mention his current identity being already prestigious in Dongqian, the terrifying part was the power backing him.

Everyone knew that for an alchemist to grow quickly, it required burning money, and burning money, and burning more money. Any force slightly weaker simply couldn’t cultivate such an elite.

For a moment, many were silently speculating about what kind of family the so-called Changning Wang Clan was to possess such profound resources.

“Wait a minute!” Wei King Wei Boyu suddenly recalled something, looking at Wang Shouye sharply, “What relation do you have with Wang Anye and Wang Fugui?”

“Does the Wei King actually know my great-grandnephew Wang Anye and my sixth-great-grandnephew Wang Fugui?” Wang Shouye was also slightly surprised.

“Know?” Wei Boyu’s face turned increasingly unsightly, sneering, “I, Wei Boyu, don’t have the qualification to know the renowned ’Young Master Anye’ and ’Young Master Fugui’ of the Immortal Dynasty.”

Renowned in the Immortal Dynasty?

Wang Shouye was baffled.

What on earth did Anye and Fugui do in the Immortal Dynasty to cause someone as far away as Wei Boyu in Great Zhou to gnash his teeth like this?

“So, Young Master Shou Ye is actually an elder to Young Master Anye and Young Master Fugui.” Emperor Yuan Ping’s attitude towards Wang Shouye also suddenly became amiable, smiling, “Young Master Shou Ye, you might not know, your great-grandnephew Wang Anye recently competed for the famous [Sword Array Dual Ultimate Codex] in the Immortal Dynasty and actually outshone the two young masters of Jing’an Wei Clan and Chaoyang King Mansion. His prospects are immeasurable.”
