Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2750: Chapter 8: Lovers Become Siblings? (Part 3)

Wang Baoguang spoke with confidence, analyzing the reasons for his actions with Taoist Master Taichu: ”As for the delayed action, it was for a reason. Think about it, what is Ji Kunlun’s status? He is a noble son of the Tranquil Sky Divine King Palace, how could my humble family provoke him?”

”If I were to accuse Ji Kunlun without solid evidence, wouldn’t he tear me to pieces once he comes to his senses?”

”Therefore, once we act, we must capture concrete evidence to nail Ji Kunlun’s crimes. Otherwise, if he gets a chance to reverse the situation, I’m done for. I deliberately provoked him earlier to force him into saying something wrong, thereby confirming the charges.”

Taoist Master Taichu also acknowledged that Wang Baoguang had some valid points.

From Wang Baoguang’s standpoint, handling the matter this way is indeed the safest approach.

Moreover, Ji Kunlun’s schemes are extremely secretive, and all Wang Baoguang’s speculations are just that—speculations. If it were a timid disciple from the Dao Palace, even if they guessed some of it, they might pretend not to know.

After all, everyone knows the Tranquil Sky Divine King Palace is difficult to provoke, and it’s natural not to want to get involved in this power struggle. Furthermore, Wang Baoguang wouldn’t be known by anyone for it regardless.

But Wang Baoguang didn’t just get involved; he utilized his family’s long-established connections, invited several Sacred Supremes to step in, and in doing this, he certainly offended the Tranquil Sky Divine King Palace completely, truly showing his loyalty.

He knows very well that Wang Baoguang normally doesn’t get along with Spiritual Bamboo, and has even been beaten up by Spiritual Bamboo numerous times.

Yet, even knowing this, he still looked at Wang Baoguang with a burning displeasure, the gaze as if wishing to tear him apart: ”You’re stopping Ji Kunlun is one thing, exposing him is another, why did you have to place your brother in Bliss Great Joy? Do you not know what might happen?”

”Taoist Master~ I am shallow in my knowledge, completely unaware of Bliss Great Joy.” Wang Baoguang blinked his eyes, looking innocent, ”Moreover, my brother Bao Sheng and Senior Sister Spiritual Bamboo hit it off as if they were old friends, thinking of her as a confidant. Upon hearing she might be in danger, he was beside himself with anxiety, requesting the presence of Emperor Tianrui and Elder Ding Sheng of the Si Family. Only he has the authority to directly call upon the Great Elder of our Wang family’s tribute. Now, seeing Senior Sister Spiritual Bamboo trapped within, his heart was anxious, naturally wanting to rush in for rescue. What’s wrong with that?”

”His nature is forthright, as the saying goes, one takes discretion in an emergency, under such circumstances who would think much? Taoist Master, you doubting us like this truly chills the hearts of us loyal ones.”

Wang Baoguang’s words, the Taoist Master Taichu didn’t believe half of it.

However, at this point, what else could he do?

The people were there to save others, even if there were miscalculations, it could be attributed to accidents. It was impossible to keep on blaming them, right?

He suspected that Wang Baoguang did it on purpose, but it was ultimately only his suspicion without any evidence.

Unable to do otherwise, Taoist Master Taichu had to patiently and anxiously wait outside the red mist.

Hoping Spiritual Bamboo can hold on...

But, even Taoist Master Taichu himself didn’t believe this thought!

For a moment, Wang Baoguang and Taoist Master Taichu stopped speaking, and the atmosphere outside the red mist inexplicably grew awkward.

Emperor Tianrui and Elder Ding Sheng of the Si Family couldn’t quite bear it, hastily pretending to deploy troops and clean up the battlefield, flying somewhat away from Taoist Master Taichu and the others. But out of curiosity about what would happen next, they never actually left, continuing to circle around, silently observing the unfolding development.

In this tangled yet awkward atmosphere, time scrunched slowly onward.

Who knows how long it took before the substantial red mist gradually dissipated, Wang Baosheng supporting Yin Lingzhu, came flying out of the mist.

Emperor Tianrui and Elder Ding Sheng swiftly flew over at this sight.

All the big shots collectively looked at the pair, and saw that Yin Lingzhu was weak all over, cheeks flushed, appearing to have suffered greatly, yet her clothes were relatively intact.

Old Hui, witnessing this, changed his expression slightly, hurriedly stepping forward, producing a spirit blanket to wrap around Yin Lingzhu, then taking her from Bao Sheng’s arms, allowing her to lean on him.

Both Emperor Tianrui and Elder Ding Sheng of the Si Family secretly cast eyes full of envy at the daft young Wang Baosheng.

This lad, this maneuver was a major gain, his future prospects are boundless~

”Master, it’s Spiritual Bamboo who has caused you worry.” Yin Lingzhu felt both ashamed and embarrassed, hastily bowing.

”It’s nothing, it’s nothing, ultimately it’s the grudge between me and the Nirvana Buddha Master, implicating you.” Taoist Master Taichu comfortingly offered her words.

Though he didn’t show it openly, seeing his beloved disciple in such a state, his heart was torn between pain and anger, a fierce light flickering in the depths of his eyes.

That old dog Nirvana, I, Taoist Master, absolutely will not let this matter rest!!

He was truly infuriated.

Yin Lingzhu was his personally taught disciple; for someone to scheme against her was tantamount to climbing atop his head and defecating.

Not to mention, when he originally chose to bring Yin Lingzhu under his wing, it was not only due to her outstanding character and exceptional talent, but somewhat with the warmth of remembering an old mentor.

Through many years together, he had long since considered Yin Lingzhu as his daughter!

”Master! Yin Lingzhu’s eyes also flickered with deep anger, ”Our Heaven Pillar Saint King Mansion will not let this matter rest either. I will report this to His Majesty the Divine Emperor, and let the old man assert his stance.”
