Chapter 768: Chapter 4: My Great Celestial Pride Wife (Request for Monthly Votes)_5
Numerous Seventh-Grade Noble Families are eager for a path to advance to Sixth-Grade, yet you, surprisingly, are reluctant.
However, she didn’t wish to dwell on this matter any longer and instead said solemnly, "Young Master Shouzhe, we’ve received intelligence in the Celestial Palace that Gongyang Strategy has returned from the Immortal Dynasty."
"Gongyang Strategy?" Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly, "Who is that?"
"Young Master Shouzhe, don’t insult my intelligence." Tianyan Fairy shot him a coquettish glance, slightly annoyed, "With your capabilities, how could you not know who is behind Cao Youqing? Back then, Cao Youqing repeatedly troubled the Wang Family, with someone secretly manipulating things. How could you not be aware?"
"Oh~ you mean Master Xuanmiao?" Wang Shouzhe suddenly understood, "I’ve vaguely heard of this person. It’s said that he is a Great Celestial Pride of the Purple Mansion Realm Saint Land, with a boundless future. He will surely become a pillar of our Daqian Kingdom."
"Although Cao Youqing was his follower, he was ultimately executed for his crimes. This matter was judged long ago by the relevant department of the Governor’s Mansion of Longzuo County. By your account, would a noble Master Xuanmiao really trouble my small Wang Family over a criminal repeatedly violating Daqian Law and already executed?"
"Hehe~ Young Master Shouzhe, stop pretending." Tianyan Fairy sneered coldly in anger, "Do you dare swear that you really didn’t know Gongyang Strategy is already involved in the Struggle of the Imperial Sons? If true, I’d crawl three circles on the ground and bark like a dog."
"Alright, alright, so what if I know?" Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "If Gongyang Strategy comes to trouble me, does the Fairy plan to protect me?"
"I certainly have no ability to protect you," Tianyan Fairy said with a mysterious look, "But if it’s His Highness, he might find a way to mediate for you. As long as Young Master Shouzhe nods..."
"Join your camp?" Wang Shouzhe pondered slightly, then shook his head, "It seems that the one your Celestial Palace supports isn’t doing well. Otherwise, you wouldn’t simply be mediating."
Tianyan Fairy’s expression changed, quickly explaining, "Our Highness is kind-hearted and unwilling to..."
"Stop, stop." Wang Shouzhe interrupted, "We remember the kindness your Celestial Palace showed to our Wang Family. However, as I said before, our Wang Family is just a small ship and cannot withstand the tides of the Struggle of the Imperial Sons."
"Our Wang Family just wants to farm honestly, make some small money, earn a living, and support our families."
Tianyan Fairy sighed with regret, "Patriarch Shouzhe’s intention, I understand. But in this world, nine times out of ten things don’t go as we wish. As the saying goes, the tree desires calm, but the wind will not subside. You want to develop quietly, but others might not be willing."
"Thank you for the advice, Fairy. However, I’ve already made up my mind and taken some precautions." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands politely.
"In that case, I won’t persuade you further." Tianyan Fairy hesitated slightly, then said in a low voice, "Young Master Shouzhe, don’t forget, Long Wuji is a person of uncommon origin and an unpredictable temperament. Do not truly clash with him during the fifty-year agreement. Besides, if you have no other way, our Highness’s door will always be open to the Wang Family."
"His Highness may not be as strong, but keeping your Wang Family safe shouldn’t be difficult."
"Alright, then, I thank the Fairy in advance." Wang Shouzhe responded politely.
Tianyan Fairy departed once more, filled with regret.
However, she knew that Wang Shouzhe was not only skillful and decisive but also extremely stubborn about things he decides, not the sort easily swayed.
Better take it slowly~
Just declined Tianyan Fairy.
In the distance, Liua Ruolan approached with a bowl of strange soup emitting icy vapors, casting a cold glance at Wang Shouzhe, "Drink."
"This..." Wang Shouzhe hesitated and tentatively asked weakly, "Ruoling?"
"Stop talking nonsense and drink!" Although the appearance and attire were the same, Liua Ruolan and Liua Ruoling were still easy to distinguish, just look at the aura and attitude.
"Well..." Wang Shouzhe looked at the dreadful soup identical to the previous one and couldn’t help but feel a bit nauseous, "I already drank a bowl earlier."
"Hers, mine." Liua Ruoling cast a forceful glance at Wang Shouzhe as always, curt and concise.
But the meaning was clear, the previous bowl was Liua Ruolan’s, while this one was hers, and dear Wang, can’t favor one over the other.
A chill surged in Wang Shouzhe’s heart. Do they have to be like this? Ruoling, Ruolan, aren’t you two one... have you really internalized this much rivalry?
Under the invisible and cold pressure, Wang Shouzhe drank the dreadful soup in one gulp and had to show a satisfied expression, "Ruoling, your soup is no worse than Ruolan’s."
Seeing him finish, the cold aura around Liua Ruoling dissipated slightly, casting a faint glance at him, "Water Moon Celestial Pavilion, spar."
"This..." Wang Shouzhe felt a sense of dread, looking around quickly, "The children are still here."
"Asleep." The coldness of Liua Ruoling surged again, "My part, are you planning to default?"
Default?
Wang Shouzhe wailed in despair, looking up mournfully, what did he do in past lives to deserve a top-grade Great Celestial Pride wife like this?
Tragedy!
