Protect Our Clan Leader
Chapter 1146 - 88 "Rogue" Great Emperor! Commandery Princess Bears Shame

...

However, Wang Shouzhe was just venting his frustrations.

If he truly dared to bear such thoughts, Emperor Zi'an would probably find a reason to neglect the political affairs and directly come after his life.

Besides, if we really were to discuss relationships based on bloodline, parts of the Wu's Family bloodline exist within the Wang family's bloodline as well.

After all, during the prospering periods of Ding Duke's Mansion, marriages with the Imperial Household were inevitable, and there were quite a few with the direct line. As a branch of the Changning Wang Clan, they naturally couldn't avoid involvement.

If we really delve into the specifics, it would become unclear.

Oh, never mind!

Wang Shouzhe sighed deeply.

Serving such a Great Emperor was truly exhausting.

No, Emperor Zi'an has also grown increasingly whimsical, constantly complaining about being too tired—either asking for Wang Shouzhe to return from retirement or requesting more elite disciples from the Wang family to assist him.

Currently, Wang Zong'an was still in charge of the Dala Desolate Desert development plan, while Wang Shizhao along with several promising young descendants, had been sent to Return to Dragon City to assist.

That guy, he isn't even in power yet, and he's already thinking about emulating Emperor Longchang in shirking his duties?

…

At about the same time.

Outside the Wang Family School.

Zhuwei Lake had undergone several expansions, and its water surface area had increased manifold. Now, as one of the bases for the Wang family's Grand Spirit Gathering Array, a top-grade water spirit vein had been embedded underneath it.

Nourished by the water aura, the aquatic plants along the shore grew lush and vibrant, full of spiritual essence. Even the spirit fish and spirit frogs in the water were livelier and plumper than before.

A breeze swept over, causing ripples to dance across the surface of the water. From time to time, a few flat boats rowed past, creating a picturesque scene of poetic beauty.

At this moment.

On the leisurely waterside deck by Zhuwei Lake, a barbecue stove had been added.

Emperor Longchang, who was politely "requested" to come out by the clan school's guard team, was sitting by the stove, blissfully grilling spirit meat and spirit fish.

The reason he was not captured was simply that he was mistaken for a distant "elder" of Wang's Fifth Son's Little Touch, and that was why he was just invited out.

Wang's Fifth Son's Little Touch and Li Xian, therefore, got a brief moment to breathe, being allowed to keep him company for a while.

At this moment.

Wang Dalang and the other four young wolves sat squatting beside the barbecue stove, their nostrils fluttering non-stop as drool almost flowed down incessantly.

As a little sapling, Li Xian was half-dangling on the deck, her long roots threading through the gaps of the waterside deck, burrowing deep into the riverbed to draw nutrients from the earth.

As a tree, Li Xian did not reject meat, especially delicious meat; her resistance was not strong.

"Wang Dalang... You youngsters," Emperor Longchang, expertly grilling the meat and sprinkling carefully crafted spices from the treasure Pixiu ring, spoke in an instructive tone, "whether being wolves or humans, one must always keep a heart willing to learn until old age."

"You have grown up now and need to learn to be independent. As for education, I am determined not to spoil you. You must study hard and strive to become wolves that are useful to both the Wang family and Da Qian. Come, eat some meat."

As Emperor Longchang distributed the meat, Wang's Fifth Son's Little Touch devoured it rapidly, nodding with a 'woof woof woof'. They really admired the old emperor immensely; not only was his barbecue delicious, but his words were also incredibly reasonable.

Li Xian extended a few branches to wrap around the grilled meat and fish, her roots piercing into them, visibly absorbing the barbecue at a tangible rate.

"Little Immortal, as a Tree of Life from legends, you need to eat more," Emperor Longchang said affectionately, "Come, eat slowly, your Grandpa Emperor still has plenty here."

Emperor Longchang could never have imagined that Wang Shouzhe's life-bound spirit plant would be a Tree of Life. It was truly unbelievable how much luck that fellow had accumulated over his lifetimes to attain such an incredible opportunity.

He was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Yiya~~ Thank you, Grandpa Emperor," said Li Xian gratefully.

"Why be polite? You are already calling me Grandpa Emperor; you are my granddaughter, my own granddaughter," Emperor Longchang said affectionately and kindly. "Your Grandpa Emperor has decided, to ensure you have a healthy and safe environment to grow, Grandpa Emperor will stay with the Wang family to protect and instruct you."

As he spoke, he casually allocated more than half of the grilled meat and fish to Li Xian.

Wang's Fifth Son's Little Touch was somewhat dumbfounded.

Was this a shift of favor? Suddenly, the meat in their mouths didn't taste as good.

"Yiya, Grandpa Emperor is really yiya," Li Xian said happily.

As Emperor Longchang personally barbecued for Li Xian and Wang's Fifth Son's Little Touch, a tall figure appeared at the edge of the waterside deck.

This man, dressed in a white long gown, was truly composed and elegant, with an extraordinary bearing.

This figure was naturally Wang Shouzhe.

He approached the deck where the emperor was and bowed, "Your Majesty gracing the Wang family, Shouzhe apologizes for not welcoming you from afar, please forgive me."

"Ah, Shouzhe has come," Emperor Longchang greeted warmly with a smile, "Come, come, We have grilled another batch of spirit meat, let's eat together."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang Shouzhe complied, but inside he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

His Majesty, having lived for over three thousand years, truly had a skin as thick as city walls, capable of acting as if nothing had happened after causing such chaos.
