Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 791: Chapter 9: This Day! Afraid It’s Going to Change (Requesting Monthly Ticket)_1

…

However, even if it’s difficult, what must be faced has to be faced.

Wang Zong’an quickly collected his emotions and said loudly, “I await Commandery Prince’s arrival, your highness.” Without intending to increase his voice, his words projected with precision towards the two flying carriages.

His voice falling into the ears of those on the flying carriages was unhurried and clear.

“So, this is the Young Clan Leader Zong’an?” In one of the Dragon Hawk flying carriages, Wu Mingyuan sat in a dignified manner and slightly showed his admiration as he heard, “Profound and vigorous energy, calm and composed, this young clan leader seems to be no ordinary person.” As a Quasi Emperor’s Son, he still needed to maintain his demeanor when he’s outside. He couldn’t be like Lord Zhenzuo, quite agitated.

The leader of Sky Pillar, Immortal Tian Yan would occasionally send him information about the figures in the Wang family. Even though Young Clan Leader Zong’an had been mentioned a few times, it didn’t leave a deep impression.

It would seem that Immortal Tian Yan might have neglected some details.

“Wu Mingyuan.” Gongye Qingrui’s almond eyes wide open with anger, “Yiluo is missing, and yet you’re so calm, evaluating others leisurely. Let me tell you, if anything happens to my daughter, I’ll have you accountable!”

“Calm down, calm down.” Wu Mingyuan tried to soothe her, “Longzuo County Town and the Green Luo Guard are places where law and order prevail. Yiluo is a smart child, nothing will trouble her.”

As they were talking,

Two flying carriages pulled by dragon hawks descended from the sky. One of which was a familiar carriage from Lord Zhenzuo Wang’s residence. The other, while modest in appearance, bore the royal emblem, revealing the air of majesty.

Wang Zong’an carefully observed and recognized a symbol signifying the An Commandery Prince’s Residence among the others that the Wang family had been “concerned” about lately. Especially when he noticed the young girl Wu Yiluo, who looked somewhat weak-kneed, fading back, he had already grasped the situation.

Immediately, he stepped forward to greet the honorable guests in the flying carriages before they disembarked, bowing gracefully, “I, Wang Zong’an from the Changning Wang Clan, greet the respected Lord Zhenzuo.”

As for recognizing the An Commandery Prince’s carriage beforehand, he had to feign ignorance for now, lest others learn that the Wang family had already been focusing on him. The City Lord, Zhao Dongyi, slightly behind Wang Zong’an, saluted in the same manner.

The passengers disembarked from the carriage.

Lord Zhenzuo, Wu Dianshan, purposely stepped back allowing Wu Mingyuan, the An Commandery Prince, to step forward first. Patience wearing thin, he introduced Wang Zong’an saying, “Zong’an, no need for such formality. I will introduce you, this is the An Commandery Prince, Wu Mingyuan, and this is An Commandery Prince Consort, Gongye Qingrui.” As impatient as he was, he maintained his protocol.

“Greetings, An Commandery Prince and Commandery Prince Consort. An Commandery Prince, your renowned reputation precedes you.” Wang Zong’an bowed neither arrogantly nor humbly.

The An Commandery Prince stepped forward appreciatively, “Young Clan Leader Zong’an, no need for formalities. I am just an idle prince and do not deserve such high praise.”

After a brief and cordial conversation,

The slightly irritable Gongye Qingrui said, “Young Clan Leader Zong’an, our daughter Yiluo deceived the guards and ran away from home to play in the Qing Luo Guard. Please, we’d like to ask for your assistance in closing off the Qing Luo Guard and finding her.”

No matter if she was the Commandery Princess Consort, or even the An Commandery Prince himself, without the Emperor’s authorization, they had no right to directly command local governments, or ask local prominent families to do anything.

For someone else to do their bidding, they needed to rely on the Commandery Prince’s face to appeal for help. Moreover, although the Changning Wang Clan held the 6th rank, it was not any ordinary Grade Six family.

However, most local governments and prominent families, if there are no conflicts of interest or issues of major concern, will mostly grant them face.

“Zong’an, the An Commandery Prince is not just any Commandery Prince,” Wu Dianshan reminded on the side, “This matter, you must put on full effort and ensure the safety of the young princess.”

Wang Zong’an caught a glimpse behind him, Wang Anye and Wu Yiluo had already retreated against the opposite corners of the wall. They glared at each other from a distance, both looking quite upset with each other.

His eyelids twitched, he coughed and said, “Wang Anye, come here.”

Wang Anye walked over obediently with a gloomy face, showing a state of lethargy. He had always found life to be stale and boring, but now he was finally feeling the excitement it brings.

“Oh, isn’t this the seventh young master of the renowned Changning Wang’s family, Wang Anye? Usually you’re so spirited, why are you so dispirited today?” With a mocking tone, Commandery Prince Wu Dianshan scanned Wang Anye from head to toe, seemingly harboring ill will towards him for past grudges.

“Anye pays his respects to the Commandery Prince,” Wang Anye bowed respectfully, “May I ask how has the Commandery Prince been? Has there been any successful captures of the Silvermoon Flyfish in the Jade Pond Heavenly Lake recently?”

“You little brat… stop bringing up what we don’t want to talk about.” Wu Dianshan puffed out his beard in anger, reproached unpleasantly, “The essence of leisure fishing lies in the process, not the size or quality of the catch. Unlike some youngsters who don’t understand the true meaning, only relying on a bit of luck to show off. Forget it, you wouldn’t understand at this level, don’t ever bring up this topic again.”

“Alright, I’ll change the topic. How has Miss Qianrou been recently? I heard she was unwell some time ago. I even sent her some spiritual medicine, but it was thrown out.” Wang Anye blinked and showed concern, “A few days ago, I planned to visit Miss Qianrou. However, I was told that the Commandery Prince instructed that if I dared to step into the Commandery Prince’s Residence, my legs would be broken…”
