Protect Our Clan Leader

Capítulo 2224: Chapter 252: First, Let’s Take Down the Demon Lord!

However, just as Crown Prince Jingming was trying his best to build up his mental strength, Wang Shouzhe had already leisurely put down the garden shears and greeted him with a smile: “Brother Jingming, we haven’t seen each other for some time since we parted on Green Immortal Island.”

In an instant, tears almost fell from Shentu Jingming’s eyes.

Big brother, don’t say it out loud, I don’t want to know your big secrets at all~~

Zhuo Lao also suddenly grew tense, feeling as if he had fallen into a grand conspiracy.

“Don’t be nervous.” Wang Shouzhe patted his shoulder, “Come, sit down and talk, try the Immortal Grade Spirit Rice wine I brewed myself.”

Shouzhe set up a small table in the courtyard. This time, Liu Ruolan did not cook personally, but rather the cook prepared some simple home-cooked dishes.

The reason for this is not because Liu Ruolan knows her culinary skills are not proficient, but she believes that her carefully cooked delicacies should be enjoyed only by those who appreciate them.

This Shentu Jingming was undoubtedly not quite there yet. As for the Old Ancestor, he always had a bland palate and rarely loved her meticulously concocted dishes.

The Immortal Spirit Rice wine was very tasty, rich and with a lingering sweetness, and the side dishes were fresh and flavorful.

But Shentu Jingming found the food tasteless, his eyes occasionally darting between Wang Shouzhe and Wang Ruobing.

“Old Ancestor, you haven’t had hometown food for a long time.” Wang Shouzhe dutifully served Longyan some food, “These years, you’ve worked hard running around outside.”

“Shouzhe, we’re all doing it to protect the family, what’s there to talk about hard work?” Longyan ate the hometown dishes, her eyes softening with warmth, “If anyone has worked hard, you’re the one. You’ve been under too much pressure these years.”

This warm scene made Shentu Jingming even more uneasy.

To reveal secrets right in front of him, could they be planning to kill him after the meal by signaling with a cup smash, with hundreds of elites charging out to silence him?

“Brother Jingming? Are the dishes not to your liking?” Wang Shouzhe noticed his discomfort and asked with a smile, “Why not, I can have the cook prepare some other dishes for you?”

Shentu Jingming’s heart skipped a beat, he couldn’t take it anymore, so he steeled his heart, slammed his chopsticks on the table and said: “Master Shouzhe, if you want to make a move, get on with it, this soft knife grinding is unbearable.”

!!!

Zhuo Lao was so scared by his action that his heart missed a beat, nervously staring at Wang Shouzhe’s face, gripping his chopsticks tightly.

If Wang Shouzhe showed any sign of abnormality, Zhuo Lao feared he would be unable to hold back.

But Wang Shouzhe just slightly froze, looked at Shentu Jingming with a bit of surprise: “Make a move?”

“Isn’t it so? I’ve stumbled upon such a big shady, no, secret of yours…” Shentu Jingming patted his chest, ready to die heroically, “Go ahead, do what you will, dying in Ruobing’s, sigh, her family’s hands, I have no regrets.”

“Brother Jingming, you’re overthinking it.” Wang Shouzhe smiled and shook his head, “You and I have no feud, and I find you quite congenial, why would I kill you?”

“Not kill?” Shentu Jingming looked confused, “But, aren’t you afraid I’ll reveal your secret?”

“Brother Jingming is not such a person.” Wang Shouzhe’s expression grew serious, “I often hear the Old Ancestor and Rich speak of Brother Jingming as someone with great mind, ambition, and vision. Therefore, I don’t want to hide it from you anymore.”

These words made Crown Prince Jingming feel as light as a feather, his eyes full of hope: “Goddess Ruobing really said that about me?”

Wang Longyan coldly glared at him: “Eat.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll eat right away, right away.” Shentu Jingming started wolfing down food, feeling the dishes were extraordinarily delicious, enjoying them greatly.

Even Zhuo Lao silently breathed a sigh of relief, quietly eating his meal.

Admittedly, this Wang family’s Spirit Rice was truly superb, seemingly sweeter than the same variety from the Demonic Dynasty.

Once relaxed, Zhuo Lao also ate with relish.

After the meal, Wang Shouzhe ordered the servant to clear away the leftovers and brought out tea sets to entertain everyone with tea: “To be honest, the internal strife within the Immortal-Demon Dynasties is somewhat laughable. Not to mention the Demonic World and Demonic Clan constantly harboring ambitions of invasion, looking at it broadly, our Divine Martial World is but a remote corner of the countryside, constantly fighting amongst ourselves is indeed unwise.”

“Brother Shouzhe’s thoughts resonate with me.” Shentu Jingming said excitedly, “I keep telling the old folks at home, we need to look at the long-term, expand our vision, our goal should be the Starry Sea. Under my influence, the mindset of the old folks in our family, no, the Old Ancestor has broadened just a tad.”

“Alas, it’s a pity, though the tree wants to be still, the wind doesn’t rest.” Wang Shouzhe sighed, “Some people just love internal fighting.”

Shentu Jingming clearly understood what he was talking about, his expression becoming grave and serious: “Brother Shouzhe, I’ve heard about the situation East Drought and the Wang family face nowadays. How about this, I’ll first send people to reprimand the Great Emperor of South Qin and West Jin and the Yinsha Sect, ordering them to retreat, and also assist the East Drought Defence Zone on the outer battlefield to resist the Demonic King Fortress’s invasion.”

“Brother Jingming is noble.” Wang Shouzhe saluted with clasped hands.

Even Longyan nodded slightly, giving him a look of approval and encouragement.

This Shentu Jingming, though usually playful, could still be relied upon at critical moments.

In an instant, Shentu Jingming felt as light as a feather: “Hehehe~ Brother Shouzhe is too kind, truth be told, I can’t stand the Demonic Lord’s shady behavior, if there’s anything else you need me to do, just ask, I’ll fully cooperate.”

“Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony with Brother Jingming.” Wang Shouzhe continued casually, “First of all, we need to eliminate the Demonic Lord.”

“Alright… Wait!”

Shentu Jingming’s words were half out when his eyes widened in shock and disbelief, looking at Wang Shouzhe.

His voice became stammering and incoherent: “Brother Shouzhe, what did you say? Eliminate the Demonic Lord? And first of all…”
