Protect Our Chief
Chapter 902 - 34: Shocked! Long Wuji Falls, Great Emperor’s Furious Outburst
...
Changning listened with a cold sweat.
That Long Wuji really says anything, what do you mean by breaking an engagement? What do you mean by betrothing Wu Xue Ning to An Ye?
Your approach is truly wild.
Let’s not mention whether Long Wuji can follow through with such things without getting beaten to death by Ancestor Dexin. Even if he’s not killed, can he make decisions on Wu Xue Ning’s behalf? She’s a Great Celestial Pride, likely to be titled Princess in the future, and her marriage needs Emperor Longchang’s approval.
Truly boasting without consideration.
Even if we take a step back, assuming Long Wuji can decide, the Wang Family wouldn’t commit such a betrayal.
"Let’s not argue about this matter now." Changning hurriedly changed the topic, pointing to Liua Ruolan beside him, "This lady is my wife, Ruolan. Ruolan, don’t just stand there, Patriarch Long is a guest from far away, greet him."
Actually, Liua Ruolan had already greeted him earlier, but at that time Long Wuji was angry and didn’t pay attention. Now Changning’s words give Long Wuji an excuse to shift focus.
Upon hearing Changning, Liua Ruolan immediately offered a polite greeting, "Liua greets the Patriarch again."
This time, it marked the official meeting with Long Wuji.
Liua Ruolan was naturally very beautiful, with an extraordinary elegance; every gesture was graceful and ethereal, her attire flowing elegantly, possessing even more noble grace than Wang Liyao.
Whether in the family or outside, she is the ideal Mrs. Wang—gentle and generous, handling affairs meticulously and considering the bigger picture.
However, she does have some stubborn traits, such as cooking and the children’s education issues. The Little Cyan Dragon Wang Lilong is still enduring hardships in the Clan Academy.
Don’t think Wang Lilong can act arrogant in the Clan Academy forever. After several joint attempts by Changning and Liua Ruolan to discipline, Lilong has become quite "well-behaved," at least on the surface.
"Greetings, sister-in-law."
Long Wuji hurriedly returned the respect solemnly.
Earlier, he was too eager and hadn’t closely observed Liua Ruolan. Now, upon closer inspection, he felt a slight chill in his heart.
This sister-in-law’s aura was ethereal, akin to a mighty river’s vastness and a rushing waterfall’s vigor, clearly signaling her profound understanding of the Water Element Law, making him feel a hint of apprehension.
It seems Changning’s wife is no simple figure.
Most crucially, the data he had gathered on the Wang Family surprisingly contained little information about Mrs. Wang. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have thought Changning’s wife was so deeply hidden.
She’s hidden way too well~
After officially meeting each other.
Coincidentally, Jiaang Yusong also arrived slowly with Wang Shizhao above the Broken Dragon Gorge.
Wang Shizhao is only forty-six years old this year, still a young lad compared to the surrounding big shots, and his talent is relatively poor, barely making it to a Celestial Pride status.
He usually has many matters to attend to, often helping his father and grandfather with family affairs, thus his cultivation progression isn’t particularly rapid, reaching only the mid-level of the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform Realm.
There’s still a long journey ahead before he tackles the Celestial Human Realm.
While Spirit Platform Realm Cultivators can perform Qi Manipulation Flight to some extent, they fall far short of the Celestial Human Realm. Without Jiaang Yusong’s assistance, he couldn’t keep pace.
Upon arrival, he dutifully took out tables, chairs, and dishes from the Storage Ring, preparing them anew: "Grandfather, Patriarch Long, everything is ready. Please take a seat."
Seeing this, Long Wuji sat down boldly at the dining table: "Changning, why not open a small gap at the gate and release water gradually? We brothers haven’t met for fifty years; there’s no need to rush, we can drink patiently."
"No worries, let the water build up a little longer." Changning laughed, "Our Wang Family’s engineering team and smelting workshop products are reliable enough to withstand this amount of water."
You can withstand it; can my heart withstand it?
The muscles on Long Wuji’s cheek twitched.
The more water stored, the stronger the impact once released. No wonder Changning emphasized earlier that the embankment he constructed was high and sturdy; turns out he was waiting for Long Wuji here~!
If things go south, he’ll have to secretly order the fleet to head towards the Changning Guard dock.
"Brother Long." Changning seemed to see through his thoughts, "While we’re having drinks, your Jiaolong Fleet mustn’t act rashly. Otherwise, my people might mistakenly think the Jiaolong Gang is planning an attack on Ping’an Town, leading them to lose control and detonate the Broken Dragon Gate for self-preservation. If a misunderstanding arises, it won’t end well."
Long Wuji’s face darkened more and more, and with a deep voice he said, "Younger Brother Changning, this round I’ll admit defeat as your brother. I won’t bother with your mingling with Wu Mingyuan. After this drink, I’ll retreat with my fleet."
Patriarch Long was a man of loyalty, heavily valuing those under his command. Even if he wished for Changning’s allegiance, he wouldn’t trade thousands of lives for it.
"Brother Long, you’ve come this far; why rush to leave?" Changning personally poured him wine, smiling warmly and hosting him, "Are you dissatisfied with Changning’s hospitality?"
Upon hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Long Wuji’s deep eyes, his aura suddenly turning dangerous: "Changning, do you truly wish to keep me here?"
"Brother Long is brave and righteous, even if we’re in different camps, I admire your character greatly. But I have a few heartfelt words that I must say." Changning stated solemnly.
