Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3089: Chapter 95: North Polar Region! Wang Baoguang Pays a Visit

...

”Theft Sage?” Wang Shouzhe was also quite surprised and pondered as he spoke, ”I have heard this name before, but it seems you’ve been lying low for a while. I wonder why you are targeting my wife this time?”

”Why else?” Liu Ruolan said coldly, ”Isn’t it just to steal the Taoist Yuan Pill?”

”No, no, no, I wanted to trade... using my Spirit Stone and Storage Ring in exchange for the lady’s Taoist Yuan Pill.” The Theft Sage repeatedly explained.

However, not a single person present believed him.

Fortunately, at this time, his disciple Ji Xuyue stepped forward to speak for him, ”Senior, my master is telling the truth. My master has already washed his hands of wrongdoing for many years. This time, to buy the Taoist Yuan Pill for me, he even scavenged resources from the Demonic Clan territory and secretly sold them, managing to scrape together enough money.”

”Little girl, you’re probably being lied to by your master.” Taoist Master Tian Yan snorted coldly, not believing his words at all, ”As they say, old habits die hard. I do not believe he has truly changed.”

”Demonic Clan territory?” Wang Shouzhe raised an eyebrow slightly, showing some interest, ”Go on, tell me more.”

”Alright, alright. The situation is actually like this...”

The Theft Sage also knew that Wang Shouzhe held a very high position among the great figures, so he dared not be sloppy. He quickly recounted the events of the past twenty to thirty years, including several times when he was nearly surrounded and trapped by the Demonic Clan army.

After listening, Wang Shouzhe nodded slightly and made no comment, only saying, ”Take out all the money from your Storage Ring.”

The Theft Sage’s face immediately turned sour, but he still obediently took out all fifty-three Chaos Spirit Stones, along with some scattered fragments, leaving nothing behind.

Then, he looked eagerly at Wang Shouzhe, ”Young Master Shouzhe, I’ve given all my money to you, can you give this old man one more chance?”

Wang Shouzhe was noncommittal and casually instructed Ming Wujie by his side, ”Senior Wujie, check his recent delivery records in the Demon City.”

”Yes, Young Master.” Ming Wujie accepted the order and left to carry out the task.

The Theft Sage was overjoyed, understanding that he was being given a chance, and he quickly bowed repeatedly in thanks, ”Thank you, Young Master, thank you, Young Master.”

”Don’t thank me.” Wang Shouzhe waved his hand indifferently, ”In my life, I despise nothing more than sneaky Independent Cultivators. No one’s belongings come out of thin air; you just steal them and vanish miles away as if nothing happened, while others suffer losses for no reason.”

”This time, even if what you said is true, it only proves you haven’t stolen anything recently. However, seeing that you are willing to reform, I am also too lazy to bother with you about this matter.”

”Even so, I must thank you for your generosity, Young Master.” The Theft Sage wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, deeply grateful as he bowed in thanks.

”Alright, I’ve finished dealing with my affairs. Whatever happens next is up to you.” Wang Shouzhe said to The Blissful Master.

The Blissful Master instantly understood, lifting her leg to walk toward the Theft Sage.

A sinister smile appeared on her beautiful face, as she laughed eerily, ”Sikong Liuxiang, you’ve stolen from our Blissful Divine Religion three times in recent millennia. Today, let’s settle the score. Our Master will tie you up at the gates of our religion...”

”Young Master! Young Master, save me~!”

Before the words were finished, the Theft Sage lunged toward Wang Shouzhe, urgently pleading for help, ”Young Master, save me! This old man is willing to pledge allegiance to you and redeem myself!”

”What use do I have for a thief?” A cold gleam flashed in Wang Shouzhe’s eyes, ”To send you to steal for me?”

”This old man can do many things.” The Theft Sage gritted his teeth and said with determination, ”I also heard that the Young Master seems to be planning to deal with the Demonic Clan. This old man is willing to be a scout for you.”

”I don’t trust you.” Wang Shouzhe remained unmoved.

”This...” The Theft Sage Sikong Liuxiang seemed at a loss.

His disciple Ji Xuyue’s eyes suddenly brightened, as if she had seen an opportunity, and she rushed forward to Wang Shouzhe, ”Young Master, I am willing to stay by your side as a servant and hostage. I believe my master will use his merit to clear his past crimes.”

”Xuyue, you...” The Theft Sage looked shocked.

”Master, I don’t want to live a life of hiding anymore.” Ji Xuyue turned to look at her master, her face full of determination and resolve, ”I believe Master can succeed.”

”My dear disciple, Master... sigh~” The Theft Sage’s eyes were full of heartache, ”It is my fault that you’ve suffered.”

Wang Shouzhe pondered.

Time slowly passed.

Just as the Theft Sage and Ji Xuyue were anxious, he finally spoke, ”In that case, Ji Xuyue will stay with Ruolan as a maid for now. Once the Theft Sage has accumulated enough merit, I will have Taoist Master Taichu write letters to seniors across the continents to cancel the wanted notice. At the very least, I can guarantee that you can live openly and honestly in Dongxia and Southern Blaze.”

Upon hearing this, the Theft Sage was so moved that tears almost came out, as he hurriedly bowed and saluted, ”Sikong, thanks, Young Master.”

He never expected that this Young Master was so powerful that he could even deal with the Dongxia Divine Dynasty.

”Master.”

”Xuyue!”

The master and disciple were also overwhelmed with excitement. Not only had they survived, but they also felt that the future held hope now.

”Master, I will also work hard to help you accumulate merit. Let’s work together and strive toward a happy life.”
