Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1698: Chapter 124: The Joy of Shou Ye Is Beyond Your Imagination_3

“Fourth Brother’s reminder is correct. Ling Xiao will investigate this matter secretly. If the Wei Family truly dares to collude with the Demonic Dynasty, I will definitely not let them off.” The Duchess of Luo Jia’s eyes sharpened, and she spoke with fierce momentum, “No wonder Fourth Brother sent people to protect Shou Ye’s safety, it’s likely to prevent the Wei Family from retaliating and becoming desperate. Rest assured, I will protect Young Master Shou Ye’s safety no matter what.”

At the same time, two forces each discovered and unearthed a relic of a Magic Cauldron Lord’s lair, and the probability that it’s not the same relic is really too low.

The Duchess of Luo Jia was almost certain that the Wei Family and the Demonic Dynasty were undeniably connected.

Wang Shouzhe nodded inwardly, very satisfied with the Duchess of Luo Jia’s reaction, but then said, “Investigating this matter openly is more advantageous than secret investigation, and the methods are faster.”

The Duchess of Luo Jia was momentarily dazed, then immediately responded, “Fourth Brother means… we intentionally stir the grass to alert the snakes? To induce the opponent to make a mistake and take action, catching them all in one swoop?”

“Smart.” Wang Shouzhe nodded appreciatively, then said, “The Little Demon Sovereign’s personality has two major flaws. First, he does not tolerate his subordinates making mistakes. Once a mistake is made, it needs to be corrected. Second, his ’vision framework’ is very high, occasionally revealing his ideal and ambition to unify the world.”

“It’s actually understandable to have this ambition. His starting point was too high, and his position is too high. With this vision framework, he will inevitably plan and strategize in advance for the future. The things happening in Da Zhou are likely his setup.”

The Duchess of Luo Jia nodded in agreement, “I understand Fourth Brother’s meaning. The previous incidents have not ended, they will come back again. Even if Wei Donglai retreats, the people behind him, possibly the Little Demon Sovereign’s, will not retreat, after all, this is the Little Demon Sovereign’s overall situation, related to his subsequent arrangement.”

“If the Little Demon Sovereign doesn’t come out of seclusion, perhaps this matter can still be muddled and postponed for a while.” Wang Shouzhe smiled, “Now, coincidentally, the Little Demon Sovereign is out, so the pressure naturally falls on the Wei Family, who caused the plan to fail.”

“And Young Master Shou Ye, who ruined their plan, will naturally be seen as a stumbling block and thorn in the side.” The Duchess of Luo Jia responded quickly, her eyes flashed with precision, “Moreover, the Little Demon Sovereign’s ambition to unify the world makes it beneficial with no harm in eliminating a Genius Alchemy Grandmaster in advance.”

The Duchess of Luo Jia reacted quickly, with her own insights as she was born into the Imperial Household, naturally familiar with the behavior pattern of people like the Little Demon Sovereign. She and Wang Shouzhe exchanged words, analyzing the Little Demon Sovereign’s possible arrangements thoroughly within a short conversation.

Then, the two began to discuss how to further enhance their analysis and plans and started to deliberate on how to better leverage the effects, covering various details…

On the side, the Nine Tailed Fox Demon Emperor listened as her hackles rose.

Humans, they are truly terrifying.

Especially Wang Shouzhe, who resorted to various schemes, inducements, and performances.

If he really intended to deal with her Nine Tails, she was afraid she’d be sold by him without realizing it.

After two hours, their discussion came to a close.

The Duchess of Luo Jia cupped her hand to Wang Shouzhe, her face full of admiration, “Fourth Brother is meticulous in thought, Ling Xiao has greatly benefited.”

“Ling Xiao, you are also quick-witted, a heroine among women.” Wang Shouzhe rarely encountered someone who could keep up with his thinking, smiled and praised, “There is no need to alarm Shou Ye for this matter, let him focus on alchemy, and at critical moments have him cooperate.”

“Thank you, Fourth Brother, for trusting Ling Xiao.” The Duchess of Luo Jia was secretly delighted.

Such a major task was directly entrusted to her by Fourth Brother. What kind of trust is this?

It seems Fourth Brother truly regards her as one of his own.

Pausing, a hint of confusion crossed the Duchess of Luo Jia’s face, “Ling Xiao still has one point unclear.”

“Doing this is extremely beneficial for my Da Zhou, greatly undermining one of the Little Demon Sovereign’s major plans. But this matter has little relation to Dongqian or the Wang Family, contrary to inciting further animosity from the Little Demon Sovereign towards Dongqian or the Wang Family. Why doesn’t Fourth Brother simply recall Shou Ye to avoid trouble? Unless, Fourth Brother is…”

“This matter will naturally become clear in the future.” Wang Shouzhe smiled, “Think of Fourth Brother as also possessing a great vision framework, considering issues from a global perspective, and preemptively sniping the Little Demon Sovereign.”

The Duchess of Luo Jia was initially stunned, then respectfully cupped her hand, “Fourth Brother cherishes the world, Ling Xiao is impressed. If everyone in the world could be like you in relieving the worries of His Majesty the Immortal Emperor, why would the Immortal Dynasty fear not flourishing?”

The Duchess of Luo Jia thought Wang Shouzhe was relieving worries for the Immortal Emperor, while the Nine Tailed Fox Demon Emperor’s thoughts took a turn, she couldn’t help but mumble.

Wang Shouzhe, this old fox, perhaps genuinely wants to become the Immortal Emperor?

Should her Nine Tails hitch a ride in advance?

After all, becoming Empress sounds quite nice.

…

A period of time later.

Not far from the capital, Muxian City, less than a hundred miles away, there was an estate. On the surface, this estate seemed no different from the surrounding farms, but deep underground it’s a different world.

The deep passageways intertwined like a spider web, constructing a vast underground palace beneath the farm, like an independent subterranean world.

At this moment.

Inside the underground palace.

Spirit Lamps were embedded on both sides of the passage, illuminating the surrounding stone walls. However, these Spirit Lamps had not been replaced with Spirit Stones for an unknown period of time, and their dim light barely drove the darkness away, even failing to clearly illuminate shadows.
