Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3078: Chapter 92: From Today On, I Will Cast Aside My Pride

...

Of course, the inkstone that Cangping God Emperor used to throw at people is made from the precious Yuntao Stone Inkstone, meticulously crafted. The ink ground from this inkstone carries a trace of the Power of the Great Dao.

However, he wasn’t truly intent on killing Wang Fugui, for he didn’t use much force in his throw.

Wang Fugui casually caught the flying inkstone and respectfully placed it back on the table.

”Your Majesty instructed me to speak freely.” Wang Fugui glanced at Cangping God Emperor, looking quite innocent.

”Hmph!”

Cangping God Emperor snorted coldly, his eyes burning with greater fury.

In his heart, he grumbled endlessly. His Majesty instructed him to speak freely to discuss how to defeat the fierce demonic army; at the very least, he should think about how to defend against it, not how to disgracefully surrender!

What angered him most was that this young man suggested he should issue a decree of self-reproach!

Does he not know that using cunning tactics to slay the Great Commander Apocalypse was the most glorious achievement since Cangping God Emperor took office, already known across the world, with everyone praising it?

If he admits cowardice now, wouldn’t he lose all face?

No way. He, a dignified Cangping God Emperor, even if he were to fight to the death with the demonic clan, would never resort to kneeling for peace.

”Wait, Wang Fugui, could this be reverse psychology?” As thoughts raced through Cangping God Emperor’s mind, he suddenly realized another possibility, his gaze towards Wang Fugui growing suspicious.

”Your Majesty, don’t overthink it,” Wang Fugui calmly said, ”Right now, the demonic clan is truly formidable, with two supreme commanders at Peak Level Seventeen directing the fight, with the potential to call in even stronger reinforcements at any time. How to fight this battle? Seeking peace is indeed the best strategy.”

Cangping God Emperor suddenly felt disheartened, waving his hand impatiently: ”Go, go, go, I don’t want to see you anymore.”

”I take my leave.”

Wang Fugui didn’t argue, respectfully bowed, and exited the Provincy Office.

”Crash!”

Inside the Provincy Office, the sound of Cangping God Emperor shattering the Yuntao Stone Inkstone echoed out.

At the same time, Cangping God Emperor’s voice, full of suppressed anger, rang out: ”This Divine Martial Wang family is utterly shameless. When there’s benefit, they’re more eager than anyone, but when the nation faces crisis, they only know to kneel and beg for peace. A bunch of reputation-seekers! To think His Majesty trusted them so much!”

”Also, the Yun family, Ji Family, all they know is seeking peace like cowards. Go, go, go, all of them out of here! Let His Majesty have some peace.”

The high-level strategical council in the Provincy Office ended amidst the furious roar of Cangping God Emperor.

On this day, it seemed as though the entire Luojing was enveloped in Cangping God Emperor’s wrath, with the skies appearing oppressive and gloomy.

That night.

The night was dark and windy, the stars sparkled across the sky.

In Luojing’s finest inn, the Immortal Welcoming Building.

Though called an inn, the accommodation area of the Immortal Welcoming Building is actually quite expansive, with a unique courtyard layout. Despite being small, it is equipped with all the necessities, not much inferior to the main residences of the prominent families.

Since arriving in Luojing, Wang Fugui had been staying at the Immortal Welcoming Building.

His courtyard is situated on a floating Spiritual Mountain. While not large, it is exquisitely built, with lush greenery and various Spirit Flowers blooming in succession, evidently well-tended.

Although it was late at night, the lights were still on in the study within the courtyard.

Inside the study.

On the intricately carved tea table, a pot of Immortal Tea was boiling, with the fragrance of tea filling the room.

At the tea table, Wang Fugui was quietly drinking Immortal Tea, his eyes half-closed as if pondering something, or perhaps waiting for someone.

Suddenly.

The surrounding space warped slightly, and a middle-aged, dignified man in casual dress appeared from the void.

The man had a commanding presence and a majestic aura, with an air of authority that made him daunting to behold.

Seeing Wang Fugui about to rise and pay his respects, he casually raised a hand to stop him: ”Alright, alright, there are no outsiders here, no need for formalities.”

With that, he sat himself down on the sofa beside the tea table and shifted a bit to find a more comfortable sitting position: ”I must say, you Wang family truly knows how to enjoy life; this peculiar reclining chair is indeed comfortable.”

”Your Majesty, please enjoy some tea.” Wang Fugui politely brewed a new pot of Immortal Tea, speaking respectfully, ”This type of sofa was an idea from our Old Ancestor Shouzhe, crafted by skilled craftsmen. If Your Majesty likes it, I’ll have some sent to Your Majesty’s study and bedroom later.”

The esteemed guest, naturally, was the Cangping God Emperor who had been in a fit of rage in the Provincy Office earlier today.

”No need.” Cangping God Emperor glared at him, ”His Majesty would rather avoid lying around until his bones go soft; an accidental tumble wouldn’t be ideal.”

”Uhm... haha, is Your Majesty still angry about the Provincy Office matter?” Wang Fugui chuckled awkwardly, ”I thought since Your Majesty came personally, you understood Fugui’s sincere intentions.”

”Is His Majesty so petty?” Cangping God Emperor glared at him, ”Enough with the nonsense. You sent a message through Toffee to see me; if you have any cunning plan, spit it out.”

”In such an all-out celestial conflict, what really matters is our foundation and accumulation; there are hardly any cunning tactics.” Wang Fugui stated, ”All we can do is choose some diplomatic strategies to add some chips to our side, while weakening the opponent’s hand. Once more, to ensure national survival, the first step is to propose a ceasefire!”
