Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3022: Chapter 77: Wang Fugui’s True Purpose (3)

Because the ones they fought with the most often were the Xuanyuan clan’s children, and they were particularly fierce towards them.

On this day.

It was one of the monthly Small Morning Meetings.

Many of the court officials in Luojing had gathered at Dingyun Divine Palace, and as they passed by, they did not forget to greet Wang Yincao and Wang Juntong on the stage at the entrance.

Inside the Divine Palace Grand Hall.

Cangping God Emperor, sitting in the position of Divine Emperor, was massaging his temples, looking rather troubled.

It’s no wonder, for having a stage set up like a plaster in front of Dingyun Divine Palace would give anyone a headache.

Below the grand hall were all kinds of court officials and Saint Kings standing.

They were taking out one unresolved matter after another for discussion, and then Cangping God Emperor would make a judgment to set national policy.

This Small Morning Meeting also included Wang Fugui.

However, as the Secretary-General of the Shenwu Sacred Alliance, he was placed among the ranks of overseas ”Feudal Emperors.” Coincidentally attending this meeting in Luojing was the Jade River Saint Emperor Yun Wanli and Wang Fugui.

Under normal circumstances, unless something particularly significant occurred, Feudal Emperors rarely came to Luojing to suffer.

After all, on their own turf, a Saint Emperor wields immense power, able to cover the skies with one hand, and is accustomed to decision-making autonomy, so coming to Luojing would likely be uncomfortable.

The efficiency of the court officials and Saint Kings was very high. Soon, one matter after another was discussed and settled.

Cangping God Emperor let out a sigh of relief, took some Immortal Tea handed over by Old Tan to soothe his throat, and then routinely asked, ”Is there any other matter to report? If not, we’ll adjourn the meeting.”

At the level of a Taoist Master, he no longer needed to emphasize his authority through various means, so his speech was rather casual.

The Sacred Supreme of the Jiang clan, Jiang Shengzhe, immediately stepped forward and reported respectfully, ”Your Majesty, our Jiang clan has agreed with the Shenwu Wang family to return the Red Sun Sacred Fire and Sacred Pill Furnace at the assembly. We request Your Majesty to witness the event.”

Upon hearing this.

Cangping God Emperor seemed even more troubled.

These days, hearing the name Shenwu Wang family made his heart skip a beat; he was immediately displeased, saying, ”Why should I witness the matters between your two clans? Is there some unresolved conflict that requires my mediation?”

”Your Majesty, this time the Red Sun Sacred Fire and Sacred Pill Furnace are not being returned, but redeemed,” Wang Fugui quickly stepped forward to explain. ”There were some disputes between our clans before. To avoid further conflicts after this redemption, the best way is to have someone witness it. After careful consideration, only Your Majesty commands the respect of both our sides, so we boldly chose the court as the place for the return.”

”Fine.” Cangping God Emperor reluctantly waved his hand. ”Resolve the matter between you two quickly, and then we’ll adjourn. And Wang Fugui, can you take those two little troublemakers away from the Divine Palace entrance? At least move the stage somewhere else; blocking the entrance all day, what does that look like?”

”This...Your Majesty, I’ll try my best...” Wang Fugui was also quite helpless, ”Their chosen stage location is very cunning, being in a public area outside the Divine Palace. They are challenging peers of their age, which is in line with our Dongxia Divine Dynasty’s martial culture, so it’s hard for me to forcibly confine them at home.”

Cangping God Emperor’s facial expression twitched.

As their elder, if you sincerely wanted to control them, could those two youngsters dare to disobey?

I see you are still holding a grudge over Wang Baosheng being deliberately targeted by Xuanyuan Haozhe, wanting to see my disgrace!

Perhaps, even the matter of setting up the stage was incited by you!

Seeing Cangping God Emperor on the verge of losing his temper, Wang Fugui immediately changed the topic: ”Sacred Ancestor Shengzhe, the Red Sun Sacred Fire and Sacred Pill Furnace you Jiang clan want to redeem, I have already brought them with me. May I know if your ransom and interest are ready?”

”Originally, when the Red Sun Sacred Fire and Sacred Pill Furnace were mortgaged to the Wang family, the agreed total price was thirty-eight Chaos Spirit Stones.” Although Jiang Shengzhe was full of pent-up resentment, the matter was confirmed by Jiang Lihuo back then, and since the Sacred Fire and Sacred Pill Furnace were still in the other party’s hands, he couldn’t go back on it and had to endure, agreeing, ”Now after one hundred twenty-five years, our Jiang clan will offer an additional Chaos Spirit Stone as interest! To settle this with a total of thirty-nine Chaos Spirit Stones.”

Many court officials and Saint King bigwigs watched the scene with great interest.

They had also heard of this matter before when Jiang’s and Ji Family joined forces against the Wang family, but not only failed to handle the Wang family, they suffered a great loss and even had their Sacred Fire and Furnace seized.

”Only one Chaos Spirit Stone as interest?” Wang Fugui slightly frowned, ”Sacred Ancestor Shengzhe, could it be that you miscalculated?”

”Ha ha~” Jiang Shengzhe’s expression was unfriendly, ”Why doesn’t Secretary-General Fugui calculate it himself?”

”Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll calculate the interest at a relatively low rate with the Jiang clan.” Wang Fugui coughed, beginning to calculate earnestly, ”The principal is a total of 38 Chaos Spirit Stones, and even at an annual interest rate of one per thousand, after one hundred twenty-five years, it would still amount to 4.75 Immortal Spirit Stones in interest.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shengzhe’s expression immediately turned as sour as if he’d been slapped across the face.

He jumped up and exclaimed, ”Wang Fugui, are you crazy? Your Wang family has held onto our Sacred Fire and Sacred Pill Furnace for so long and you’re asking for such high interest? Do you truly think our Jiang clan is easy to bully? Your Majesty, please judge fairly for us.”
