Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1657: Chapter 115: My Disciple’s Luck Reaches the Heavens (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

…

Just as Emperor Longchang was filled with inexplicable resentment and Wang Shouzhe was “retaliatorily” dispatched to the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

In Da Zhou, Muxian City, at the Wei King’s Residence.

The Wei King’s Mansion is located in the western part of Muxian City, a magnificent and ancient architectural complex. The surrounding area is enclosed by towering walls, making it appear almost like a small city from the outside.

The night was deepening, but the study deep inside the Wei King’s Mansion was still brightly lit.

After the incident at Qiu Huang Tower some time ago, the Wei King’s Mansion had its reputation utterly ruined. Not only was its reputation damaged due to the scandal of using forbidden medicines, but even the most promising youngster of the clan, Wei Donglai, had been defeated by Wang Shouye. This could be said to have brought their prestige to its lowest point in years.

Although the Wei King’s Mansion is vast with many elders holding high positions and power in the court, not suffering any critical damage, the momentum that had been built with great effort was completely dissipated. From now on, it’s feared that Wei Donglai’s hopes of marrying the Duchess of Luo Jia are dashed.

At this moment, in the study, Wei King Wei Boyu was sitting behind the desk, pinching his eyebrows, his face showing a mixture of worry.

Wei Donglai, standing to the side, also felt troubled by the previous incident.

“Old Ancestor, that Wang Shouye cannot be left alive.” Recalling the incident, Wei Donglai couldn’t calm his anger, his face was cold with killing intent as he said, “Why don’t I take some of the Divine Power Territory uncles and lie in ambush outside the Qiu Huang Tower? It’s hard to believe he never goes out alone!”

Hearing this, Wei Boyu shot him a glance, his face suddenly turned cold: “Fool!”

“Old Ancestor, I…” Wei Donglai was startled, hurriedly seeking forgiveness.

Wei Boyu, however, didn’t give him a chance to speak, coldly said: “Do you even know the origins of that Profound Pill True Monarch?”

“This…” Wei Donglai hesitated in confusion, “Isn’t he just a True Monarch from thousands of years ago? Even if he left a legacy, didn’t he long pass away? You’re also a Void Realm True Monarch, so why fear him?”

Wei Boyu was almost infuriated to death: “The Profound Pill True Monarch was the Imperial Husband of the Third Generation Immortal Emperor Guangming of the Immortal Dynasty. Even the current members of the Imperial Household have to call him Old Ancestor! If Wang Shouye is indeed a descendant of the Profound Pill True Monarch, there must be some connection with the Imperial Family’s Yun family. Otherwise, how could a small Fifth Grade Prominent Family like Da Qian nurture an Unparalleled Heavenly Child?!”

“He might be a secretly cultivated and highly valued Alchemist by the Yun family. If you kill him, you are going against the Imperial Household! At that time, it won’t just be you, even our Wei King’s Mansion might not be spared! Even our main lineage of Jingan’s Wei Family won’t be able to protect us!”

From the standpoint of logic, Wei Boyu’s speculation is indeed the most reasonable.

Unfortunately, the Wang family is just like an oddity among the Prominent Families. This seemingly reasonable speculation, while not exactly true, is at least unrelated to the actual situation.

Yet, ironically, from the outcome, he subtly guessed the correct answer.

Upon hearing this, Wei Donglai broke out in a cold sweat: “I understand, I will instruct the family to behave and refrain from provoking Wang Shouye for the time being.”

Wei Boyu then softened his expression slightly and nodded: “At least you’re not completely foolish. But simply not provoking them is not enough. In the near future, prepare a gift and personally deliver it to Qiu Huang Tower to thank him for his guidance.”

Wei Donglai’s face changed slightly: “Old Ancestor, this…”

As the acknowledged “Little Prince” of the Wei King’s Mansion, he has always been proud and lofty. Even when facing the favored Duchess of Luo Jia, he was reluctant to lower himself. Now he is being asked to bow to a wild boy from Dongqian, how could he be willing?

However, observing Wei Boyu’s expression and considering Wang Shouye’s potential backing, he ultimately dared not retort, swallowing his anger and agreeing.

For today, he would endure the humiliation, but in the future, when the time is right, he would surely repay today’s disgrace a hundredfold, a thousandfold!

Wei Boyu, having lived for thousands of years, having encountered countless people, knew Wei Donglai’s character all too well. Just by observing his expression now, he could almost guess what was going through this boy’s mind.

He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Compared to the Duchess of Luo Jia, his child still lacked a bit of depth in scheming, and was rather impulsive in acting. While he could handle tasks well, he was ultimately unfit to lead a family~

If only they could bring the Duchess of Luo Jia into the family, the couple would complement each other perfectly. With the Duchess’s Imperial bloodline, she could mediate, and even the old Emperor would be apprehensive, making the future of the Wei King’s Mansion secure. But now, with his plans disrupted, he’s afraid the future for the Wei family is…

Well, we’ll just take it one step at a time~

Since his schemes have already failed, the Wei Family will temporarily lie dormant for a period, waiting for the right moment.

He waved his hand tiredly: “I’m a bit fatigued, you may go now~ Don’t forget what I’ve told you.”

“Yes, Old Ancestor.”

Seeing this, though Wei Donglai still had more to say, he ultimately dared not speak further, slowly bowing and withdrawing.

This side has temporarily laid low, while on the other side, Wang Anyuan and Wang Ningyu have stirred things up once again.

Originally, with their spectacular performance at Qiu Huang Tower and the persona and image they crafted, along with still being single, they had garnered quite a bit of fame. Subsequently, both were frequently invited to gatherings of the ladies from prominent families in Muxian City.
