Protect Our Patriarch-Chapter 778 Book 6: 52: Shou Zhe ’Bullying’ Little Immortal King Qingyang

……

Seven or eight days later.

Qingyang Immortal Mansion.

On this day, the weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

On the wide straight road within the Immortal Mansion, a land carriage pulled by exotic horses was moving forward briskly.

The land carriage was open-topped, allowing for the enjoyment of the scenery along the way.

At this moment, Wang Shouzhe and his companions were seated on the carriage.

Today, Wang Shouzhe was dressed in a robe of sky blue, not pretending to be as flamboyant as before, but still exuding an air of elegance.

Behind him sat Yun Tiange, Jiang Muxian, and Wang Baoguang.

"Young Master Shouzhe, this straight road was built when the old Immortal King's wife was still alive, planted with famous flowers and exotic plants along the way, known as the 'Three Mile Flower Corridor.' It was once one of the most famous sights in this holy city. If you follow this road all the way, you'll reach the training ground at the end," introduced a middle-aged woman in military attire sitting at the front of the carriage to Wang Shouzhe and his companions.

This woman was Sun Yumin, Aunt Sun, a trusted middle-aged female general by Lüqiu Qingyang's side.

As the carriage moved forward, a spacious training ground soon appeared in their view.

The training ground was set against mountains and water, with an excellent environment, and had a "high-level giant protective array arena," capable of allowing Void Realm cultivators to spar without causing damage.

Such a high-level protective arena was not yet available in the Shenwu World, where Void Realm experts had to spar in the sky or on the sea.

On the training ground.

At this moment, over thirty female generals were standing.

They were well-trained and stood tall, arranged in a simple formation, yet exuding the momentum of a thousand troops.

On the command platform, Lüqiu Qingyang, in green armor and a red cape, looked particularly heroic and valiant.

She was extremely satisfied with the Qingyang Legion she had built with her own hands. Although only a few elite officers were dispatched this time, they still demonstrated the extraordinary nature and potential of her legion.

Just as Lüqiu Qingyang was reviewing the female soldiers, Wang Shouzhe and his companions' land carriage arrived in front of the command platform.

Each of Wang Shouzhe's group disembarked, with Jiang Muxian and Yun Tiange following closely behind. Wang Baoguang, full of curiosity, also followed, his eyes darting between Lüqiu Qingyang and the female soldiers, his mind seemingly racing with thoughts.

Dozens of beautiful eyes, sharp as blades, stared directly at Wang Shouzhe and his group.

Lüqiu Qingyang, not one for unnecessary words, confidently got to the point: "Wang Shouzhe, my Qingyang Legion is usually stationed in the East Sea and is not easily dispatched to the holy city. Today, I've brought a small portion; can you help me assess their quality?"

Wang Shouzhe glanced over and immediately understood.

The four leading female generals indeed had an extraordinary presence, each resembling a battle-hardened female soldier.

Judging by their aura, they were roughly at the early to mid-Divine Realm, yet their aura was so solid it seemed their bloodlines were above ordinary Divine Realm cultivators, likely possessing Void seeds from the codex.

The dozens of female generals behind them also had long and substantial auras, unlike ordinary Purple Mansion Realm cultivators.

When combined, their momentum was like a terrifying ancient fierce beast, extremely ferocious.

One had to admit, the overall strength and deep foundation of the Tianrui Holy Dynasty were far beyond what the Shenwu World could compare to, with a sheer number of strong individuals completely overwhelming.

This Lüqiu Qingyang was indeed capable, able to gather so many female elites.

"It seems quite interesting," Wang Shouzhe praised.

"Just interesting?" Lüqiu Qingyang's lips curled into a cold smile, "Since Young Master Shouzhe speaks so boldly, why not step onto the arena and give some pointers?"

Before Wang Shouzhe could refuse, she had already given the order: "Chunhua, Xiachán, Qiuyun, Dongsun, which of you will go and experience Young Master Shouzhe's skills?"

These four were military talents Lüqiu Qingyang had cultivated with immense effort and wealth.

Now, they had all inherited the Lingxu Codex, and with its help, their bloodlines had reached the extraordinary C-grade, with future potential pointing directly to the mid-Void Realm.

As soon as she finished speaking.

A petite and sweet-looking female general stepped forward: "Subordinate Dongsun is willing to experience the young master's prowess. However, the young master seems very powerful; can Dongsun bring her subordinates to challenge together?"

"Our Qingyang Legion is an army, and the army emphasizes group combat and cooperation, unlike those brutes who only know how to duel. Naturally, we must all go together to better demonstrate our strength," Lüqiu Qingyang smiled, "However, we can't bully Young Master Shouzhe too much. Young Master Shouzhe can also bring people to fight, but the personnel must be limited to your own troops."

With just a few words, she had set the rules, leaving Wang Shouzhe no room to refuse.

"The leaders of the Fourth Battle Group, step forward."

Dongsun was evidently prepared, immediately gathering her seven subordinate generals and leading them onto the arena.

She stood with her hands behind her back, staring directly at Wang Shouzhe, her eyes sharp and filled with battle intent, yet her heart was filled with curiosity.

Who was this person who had angered the legion commander so much?

However, soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a moment. Since this person dared to offend the Qingyang Legion Commander, no matter his background, he couldn't be let off easily today.

In an instant, dozens of gazes focused intently on Wang Shouzhe, eyes bright and piercing.

With people already on the arena, refusing now would inevitably make Wang Shouzhe seem afraid of them.

This was precisely the effect Lüqiu Qingyang wanted.

She knew that such playboys often cared about face, and with a few words of provocation, Wang Shouzhe would definitely accept the challenge.

Unexpectedly, under everyone's gaze, Wang Shouzhe remained unresponsive, but Wang Baoguang beside him was unwilling.

"Wait!"

Wang Baoguang stepped out from behind Wang Shouzhe, looking speechless at the female generals on the arena: "Are you kidding? With just you few, you want to challenge my Ancestor Grandfather? That's too outrageous. Tsk~ If you want to challenge Ancestor Grandfather, you have to get past me first."

With that, he didn't give the female soldiers a chance to refuse, leaping onto the arena.

In an instant, a Divine Realm aura erupted from him, soaring into the sky.

In terms of intelligence, Wang Baoguang was also very clever within the family.

Today, Ancestor Grandfather had specifically brought him here, and with a quick turn of his mind, he understood his elder's intention. Wasn't it just to help Ancestor Grandfather court that Little Immortal King Qingyang? Wang Baoguang was most delighted by such plots.

"Uh…"

Seeing this, Jiang Muxian was the first to be surprised.

She exclaimed in shock: "Baoguang, when did you advance to the Divine Realm?"

"A while ago," Wang Baoguang replied casually, as if it were a matter of course, "Recently, I felt my cultivation was a bit lacking while handling affairs, so I didn't suppress my realm any longer. I found some time to close up a bit and broke through."

Jiang Muxian was dumbfounded…

Could Baoguang be any more abnormal? For others, advancing to the Divine Realm was a major event, requiring all sorts of preparations like incense burning, bathing, taking pills, and closing up for a period to adjust to the best state and brew the feeling.

But for him, breaking through was as ordinary as deciding where to have a meal today.

Actually, she didn't know. Wang Baoguang had reached the pinnacle-level Purple Mansion Realm for a while, but he had been suppressing his cultivation without breaking through.

He had no choice; he had finally outlasted his aunt Huari and taken the first place on the Xinping Purple Mansion Talents Ranking, naturally wanting to stay on the list for a while longer.

Moreover, the Xinping Divine Talents Ranking was notoriously a gathering of monsters. With his qualifications, he could dominate the Purple Mansion Talents Ranking, but once he broke through to the Divine Talents Ranking, he would only be there to be beaten.

However, after being sent to the Holy Domain, the situation changed, and with the major task pressed down by Ancestor Grandfather, he felt his cultivation was a bit low, so he simply leveled up and broke through to the Divine Realm, with his bloodline also advancing a whole level.

With his qualifications, breaking through to the Divine Realm was a natural progression, so there was no need for a big fuss.

Wang Shouzhe was well aware of Wang Baoguang's strength, showing no surprise on his face, and was quite satisfied with Wang Baoguang's tact.

He had specifically brought Wang Baoguang today to let him take the lead.

He put on a helpless expression of "since people are already on the arena, let's just go with it," and said to Wang Baoguang: "Alright, since you want to fight, do it well and don't tarnish the Wang Clan's reputation."

Wang Baoguang immediately became serious, solemnly looking at the female general Dongsun and saying: "Originally, I wanted to show some chivalry, but I dare not defy my Ancestor Grandfather. You eight can come at me together."

He intended to take on eight at once?

Female General Dongsun was instantly furious, her eyebrows raised: "Arrogant! You seven, show this newly advanced Divine Realm kid some real skill."

"Yes, Lord Dongsun."

The seven Purple Mansion Realm female generals immediately took to the air, surrounding Wang Baoguang.

Each raised their hands.

"Clang clang clang~"

A series of chain clattering sounds rang out as seven divine spirit artifact-level chains, like seven writhing spirit snakes, locked all of Wang Baoguang's escape routes.

Wang Baoguang seemed only able to dodge and weave in a small area, constantly avoiding the chaotic dance of the chain formation, appearing somewhat embarrassed.

"Wang Shouzhe, how do you find this 'Seven Star Immortal Lock Formation'?" Lüqiu Qingyang asked with some pride, "It's a small military formation passed down through generations in the East Sea Immortal King's Mansion. If deployed by seven mid to late Void Realm cultivators with a dao artifact-level Seven Star Immortal Lock Formation, it can trap a True Immortal."

The Seven Star Immortal Lock Formation used by these female generals was clearly a weakened version, but judging by its power, even an ordinary Divine Realm cultivator would find it hard to escape.

Sure enough.

As Wang Baoguang's space to dodge and weave grew smaller, he was finally ensnared by a chain around his foot, followed by his limbs, neck, and waist, all bound by chains, growing tighter and immobilizing him.

"Wang Shouzhe, your junior's bloodline seems quite high," Lüqiu Qingyang commented with a cold smile, "But like you, he's just a flower vase…"

Just as she finished speaking, Wang Baoguang, bound by chains, suddenly twisted and dissipated into energy with a "pop."

The chains clattered to the ground.

"An energy avatar?!" Lüqiu Qingyang exclaimed in shock, "How is that possible?"

When did this kid start using an avatar? How did his true body escape the chains? How did I not notice at all?

Lüqiu Qingyang was shocked and puzzled, unable to comprehend.

Unfortunately, Wang Baoguang was not about to answer her.

Almost as soon as the chains hit the ground, Wang Baoguang's figure suddenly appeared behind a female general, kicking her to the ground in a rather embarrassing position.

Yet Wang Baoguang didn't let her off, pulling out a portable image recorder and snapping away at the female general.

"Bastard!"

The other female generals were furious, immediately wielding their chains to encircle Wang Baoguang.

But Wang Baoguang's form was elusive, the chains unable to bind him, and his mastery of spatial laws was evidently not trivial, having already mastered teleportation to perfection.

Before long, there were seven Wang Baoguang illusions on the arena, each seemingly fake, yet each seemingly real, like seven fluttering butterflies, weaving through the arena, maneuvering among the female generals.

"Click click click~"

The shutter of the image recorder clicked continuously, capturing the female generals' various expressions of surprise, anger, indignation, and despair.

Most importantly, this kid was both ruthless and lecherous, using his agility to specifically kick the female generals' behinds.

"……"

Wang Shouzhe's expression was also somewhat serious.

Was his great-great-great-grandson's head caught in a door? How could he be so lecherous… Instinctively, he glanced at Jiang Muxian.

"No no no…" Jiang Muxian quickly blushed and explained, "Baoguang is ruthless to me too, but he doesn't dare be lecherous, he says I'm…"

Even though she didn't finish the sentence, Wang Shouzhe could tell it wasn't anything good.

"Where did he learn this movement technique?" Wang Shouzhe was also a bit puzzled, "I don't recall our clan having such a lecherous movement technique, combining both spatial and illusionary divine abilities."

"Oh, Baoguang learned it from Senior Cai, it's called 'Seven Rainbow Illusionary Body'," Jiang Muxian explained truthfully, "I saw him use it during a sparring session some time ago, though he wasn't as proficient then."

So he learned it from Cai Youdao…

Wang Shouzhe understood. No wonder this movement technique was both magical and filled with an endless lecherous aura.

But strictly speaking, this movement technique was indeed very compatible with Baoguang, otherwise, he wouldn't have mastered it so quickly.

"But Old Cai is known for being stingy, and Baoguang doesn't have much money to give, right?" Wang Shouzhe was puzzled again.

"It seems Baoguang gave Senior Cai some interesting manuscripts," Jiang Muxian was also somewhat confused, "Reportedly banned rare copies, stolen from his brother, all about things like live-in sons-in-law and the return of the Dragon King. Senior Cai was so engrossed in them that he taught Baoguang the movement technique in exchange for the continuation of the story."

"……"

Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched, speechless.

Cai Youdao, at his age, was still obsessed with live-in son-in-law manuscripts…

The arena battle continued, the situation already one-sided.

"Enough!"

Dongsun, seeing her female elites humiliated, could no longer bear it. She summoned a dao artifact-level "Great Halberd" from her storage ring.

With a swing of the halberd, the space was cleaved, destructive energy surging towards Wang Baoguang like a tidal wave.

Her cultivation was already at the third level of the Divine Realm, a notch stronger than Wang Baoguang, who had just entered the Divine Realm, and her power was naturally formidable.

Unfortunately.

Wang Baoguang, with a Heavenly Son C-grade qualification, had his bloodline reach the ninth level "Enlightenment True Body" when breaking through to the Divine Realm, a bloodline level even ordinary Void Realm cultivators might not reach. With the advantage of his bloodline, Dongsun's participation couldn't change the outcome.

He merely flickered, disappearing from the arena. In the next instant, Wang Baoguang reappeared behind Dongsun, snapping away at her graceful figure and curves.

The damage wasn't great, but the insult was immense.

"I'll kill you!"

Dongsun, enraged, unleashed her bloodline power, a fierce ancient beast's shadow appearing behind her.

Amidst the roars, a savage, fierce, and domineering aura spread from her, instantly boosting her momentum.

Terrifying power surged around her, continuously infusing into the dao artifact-level great halberd.

The halberd grew larger and larger, its terrifying power distorting the surrounding space.

Dongsun's hands, gripping the dao artifact halberd, began to tremble slightly, yet her gaze remained fixed on Wang Baoguang, her entire being like a beast ready to pounce, wanting to devour Wang Baoguang entirely.

However, before she could unleash her well-prepared move.

Suddenly.

A small, ancient bronze mirror appeared before Dongsun, a hazy beam of light shooting from it, enveloping her head.

"Freeze!"

Wang Baoguang's voice came simultaneously.

This was Wang Baoguang's half-immortal artifact, the "Soul Fixing Mirror," exchanged for many merit points, capable of soul attacks, highly effective when used unexpectedly.

In an instant.

Dongsun's soul trembled, as if her acupoints had been struck, frozen in place, her bloodthirsty eyes filled with dullness.

Behind her, the Dharma Aspect shadow dissipated, and the massive halberd clanged to the arena floor, leaving cracks.

"Click click click!"

After a rapid series of photos, Wang Baoguang flickered behind her, chuckling: "Miss, just chasing power in big moves won't do, your wind-up is too long."

With that, he kicked Dongsun's behind, sending her flying dozens of meters.

The intense pain snapped her back to reality, roaring in anger and humiliation: "Bastard, pervert, I'll kill…"

"Enough!" Lüqiu Qingyang couldn't stand it any longer, scolding, "Dongsun, we admit defeat if we're not as skilled. Train well and reclaim your honor later."

"Yes, Legion Commander." Dongsun, blushing, retreated to the ranks.

"Hehe~ Wang Shouzhe, you're something~" Lüqiu Qingyang ground her teeth, glaring at Wang Shouzhe, "You actually brought such a lecherous kid to play the pig to eat the tiger, quite interesting~"

She had realized that the kid named "Wang Baoguang," purely in terms of bloodline awakening, was already on par with her, both at the Heavenly Son and Daughter level, so it was normal for Dongsun to lose.

"Baoguang's strength isn't bad, he's not playing the pig to eat the tiger." Wang Shouzhe, though disapproving of Baoguang's lecherous combat style, still recognized his combat prowess.

"I don't care about him, I care about you."

Lüqiu Qingyang, uninterested in his explanations, stepped onto the arena, stepping through the void.

With a wave, the ancestral immortal artifact of the East Sea Immortal King's Mansion, the "Heaven Burning Spear," fell into her hand, and with a sweep, flames filled the arena.

"Wang Shouzhe, let's have a duel. If you win, I'll admit you're impressive."

"……" Wang Shouzhe shook his head, "I haven't fought in a long time, and we're not children… let's not be so childish."

"Aren't we all children?" Lüqiu Qingyang looked puzzled, "Being a little childish is normal, right?"

This age concept…

Wang Shouzhe rubbed his temples: "Qingyang, how old are you?"

"I'm still young, only four hundred and eighty-one," Lüqiu Qingyang said proudly, "Seventh level of the Divine Realm."

"……"

Wang Shouzhe was speechless.

After a moment, he continued: "I'm also at the seventh level of the Divine Realm, but I'm a few decades younger than you. How about this, just sparring is boring, by the way, do you have money?"

"What do you want to do?" Lüqiu Qingyang stared at Wang Shouzhe warily.

"Let's bet on something, whoever wins gets five, no, three Chaos Spirit Stones?" Wang Shouzhe was somewhat tempted.

With so many descendants at home, resources were never enough, so he seized every opportunity to earn a bit.

"Three Chaos Spirit Stones?" Lüqiu Qingyang's face turned red, lacking confidence, "I don't have that much money."

Though the East Sea Immortal King's Mansion was wealthy, and the East Sea Immortal King doted on Lüqiu Qingyang, how could she have so many Chaos Spirit Stones?

"How much do you have?" Wang Shouzhe was slightly disappointed.

"Well… I can scrape together about thirty Immortal Spirit Stones," Lüqiu Qingyang felt a bit guilty.

In truth, she was already considered a famous little rich lady, yet compared to Wang Shouzhe, she still felt like a pauper.

"Alright, let's bet thirty Immortal Spirit Stones," Wang Shouzhe decided, leaping onto the arena, "Little Immortal King Qingyang, I'll let you make the first move."

Thirty Immortal Spirit Stones weren't a small amount, worth him making a move, enough to get the kids at home an immortal artifact or something.

Lüqiu Qingyang was a bit dazed, had she agreed to the bet?

However, with the arrow already on the bowstring, Lüqiu Qingyang had great confidence in her combat prowess, at least within the Tianrui Holy Dynasty, she should be invincible among her age group. And Wang Shouzhe was a few decades younger than her, how could she admit defeat?

"Alright! A bet it is, thirty Immortal Spirit Stones it is." Lüqiu Qingyang gripped the Heaven Burning Spear, launching a strike at Wang Shouzhe. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Flames swept out, filling the sky.

Once Lüqiu Qingyang got serious, her strength was evidently not weak.

Seeing this, Wang Shouzhe remained unhurried.

Without moving, two shields appeared before him, one being the half-immortal shield "Shield Mountain," obtained at the officer training camp. The other was the half-immortal shield "Military Shield," picked up by Anye at the Shenwu Heavenly Abyss, repaired and made one of his shields.

The two half-immortal shields combined, covering Wang Shouzhe tightly, blocking the raging flames outside.

Currently, Wang Shouzhe only had these two shields. The other divine spirit artifact-level and dao artifact-level shields had been gradually "eliminated" and left to the descendants, with Liu Safety currently wandering with Wang Yingxuan.

At the same time.

A crimson immortal bow flew out, hovering above Wang Shouzhe's head, continuously firing flaming arrows at Lüqiu Qingyang, each arrow being deflected by her.

This was Wang Shouzhe's Sun Shooting Immortal Bow.

"Shoot the sun, just auto-attack, focus on harassment," Wang Shouzhe instructed.

"Yes, Master." The Sun Shooting Immortal Bow began to circle the arena, continuously harassing Lüqiu Qingyang, hindering her movements.

Seeing Lüqiu Qingyang overwhelmed, Wang Shouzhe began tossing seeds.

These seemingly ordinary seeds, once they hit the ground, began to take root and sprout. Under the stimulation of life source profound energy, their roots and stems broke through the arena's cracks, absorbing the immortal spirit energy from the land within the Immortal Mansion.

In a few breaths, the high-level arena was covered with vines like Witch's Long Hair, even propping up the arena, creating a primeval forest atmosphere.

Witch's Long Hair No. 196!

This was Wang Shouzhe's exclusive version of Witch's Long Hair, capable of entangling a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator for a short while, and with a slightly larger quantity, directly trapping and killing a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator.

And with such dense Witch's Long Hair on the arena, growing hundreds of meters high, even Divine Realm, or even Void Realm cultivators caught in it would be in grave danger.

Most terrifyingly, amidst the Witch's Long Hair forest, many Bloodthirsty Vines, resembling giant pythons, roamed. These were new Bloodthirsty Vines created through the collaboration of Lu Wei, Li Yue, and Zong Teng, with growth potential reaching the ninth rank, easily catalyzed.

The only flaw was their low intelligence, completely different from intelligent spirit plants.

Lüqiu Qingyang, entangled by Witch's Long Hair several times, finally broke free, yet recalling the situation left her still shaken, urgently wielding the Heaven Burning Spear to burn the Witch's Long Hair forest. Under her violent assault, swathes of the Witch's forest were incinerated, and the Bloodthirsty Vines retreated.

Unfortunately.

Just as she finished burning one Witch's Long Hair forest, Wang Shouzhe planted another, merely needing to wave his hand and infuse some life source profound energy.

"Boom boom boom!"

Lüqiu Qingyang unleashed one big move after another, yet the terrifying vines only grew more numerous, like an endless wildfire.

Both sides entered a "stalemate," neither willing to yield.

Wang Shouzhe leisurely set up a tea table on the arena, sipping tea slowly, occasionally replenishing some life source profound energy.

Time passed bit by bit.

Night fell, then dawn broke.

Lüqiu Qingyang, relying on countless profound energy replenishing pills in her storage ring and a qi-recovery dao artifact, barely held on.

Yet even so.

After three days and nights, she finally couldn't take it anymore, collapsing to the ground, allowing the countless Witch's Long Hair to engulf her.

"Looks like I won," Wang Shouzhe, bored, packed up the tea table, waving his hand to wither the Witch's Long Hair forest into dust.

"A bet is a bet." Lüqiu Qingyang, with the help of her subordinates and Aunt Sun, scraped together thirty Immortal Spirit Stones, tossing them to Wang Shouzhe, "Get lost, and don't let me see you again."

Wang Shouzhe, tactfully taking the spirit stones, left with Baoguang, Muxian, and Yun Tiange.

After Wang Shouzhe left.

Lüqiu Qingyang finally couldn't hold it in, squatting down and bursting into tears.

This fight was lost too unjustly, too frustratingly, she fought hard for three days and nights, while that Wang just drank tea for three days and nights.

It was infuriating~!

She must show that Wang a thing or two!

On the returning flying carriage.

Yun Tiange sat at the table, rolling her eyes at Wang Shouzhe: "Young Master Shouzhe, you really have too much time on your hands, coming to bully a child for no reason."

"I'm also just a 'child' of over four hundred," Wang Shouzhe said innocently, "Lüqiu Qingyang is decades older than me."

Joking aside, Wang Shouzhe took out the won Immortal Spirit Stones, giving one each to the "children" Baoguang and Muxian.

"Thank you for the reward, young master," Jiang Muxian accepted with a blush, delighted."Worry not, Ancestor Grandfather. From now on, your matters are my matters," Wang Baoguang declared, thumping his chest loudly. "I'll definitely keep quiet about your flirtations this time."

"What about me?" Yun Tiange asked, looking displeased.

"You're an adult now, worldly and with a bigger appetite," Wang Shouzhe chuckled. "Immortal Spirit Stones don't entice you much, so I won't bother giving you any."

"I'm going to write to Ruolan's sister and complain," Yun Tiange said with a glint in her eyes.

"Two stones, take them or leave them," Wang Shouzhe said, producing two Immortal Spirit Stones and pretending to take them back.

"I'll take them!"

Yun Tiange quickly snatched them away.

Though she preferred Chaos Spirit Stones, having Immortal Spirit Stones was still good. Given her status, saving up for even one Immortal Spirit Stone wasn't easy, but bit by bit, she could eventually gather enough for a Chaos Spirit Stone.

After taking the Immortal Spirit Stones, Yun Tiange felt a bit better. She glanced at Wang Shouzhe and said, "I know you're not one to act without benefit. You wouldn't come all this way just to bully a young girl. There must be more to why you're suppressing Little Immortal King Qingyang."

"It's nothing deep. I just heard that Lüqiu Qingyang has good potential and a stubborn character. I quite like her. At least, she pleases me more than Prince Wenyu. I hope she doesn't let me down," Wang Shouzhe said with a smile.

"..." Yun Tiange was taken aback. "Are you planning to meddle in the Tianrui Holy Dynasty's succession?"

"Not that dramatic. I just noticed Prince Wenyu seems quite idle lately, and the other two princes aren't giving him any pressure," Wang Shouzhe said calmly, gazing at the clouds outside the flying carriage. "To become a useful Holy Emperor, one must experience some pressure and setbacks to grow."

Yun Tiange secretly rolled her eyes.

Prince Wenyu should really thank you~~~
