Chapter 902: 34 Chapter Shocking! Long Wuji Falls, Great Emperor Furious (Seeking Monthly Votes) Chapter 902: 34 Chapter Shocking! Long Wuji Falls, Great Emperor Furious (Seeking Monthly Votes) …

Wang Shouzhe was sweating coldly as he listened.

That Long Wuji really had no filter, what did he mean by calling off the engagement? What did he mean by promising Wu Xuening to Anye?

His approach was truly wild.

Not to mention whether Long Wuji could actually do such a thing and whether he would be beaten to death by his family’s Old Ancestor De Xin, even if he survived, was Wu Xuening’s matchmaking something he could decide? She was a Great Heavenly Proud, likely to be titled a princess in the future, and her marriage would need the approval of Emperor Longchang.

He was truly talking nonsense without thinking.

Even if we take a step back and assume Long Wuji had the authority, my Wang family could not commit such an act of betrayal and faithlessness.

“Let’s not argue about this matter for now,” Wang Shouzhe hastily changed the topic and, pointing to Liu Ruolan standing beside him, he introduced, “This lady is my wife, Ruolan. Ruolan, don’t just stand there foolishly; Master Dragon has traveled from afar and is our guest, greet him.”

In fact, Liu Ruolan had already greeted him, but Long Wuji had been too preoccupied with anger at the time to pay attention. Now, by saying this, Wang Shouzhe was giving Long Wuji a way to step down gracefully.

Hearing his words, Liu Ruolan immediately gave a slight bow and said, “Liu Family greets the Master once again.”

This time, it was a formal meeting with Long Wuji.

Liu Ruolan was naturally exceedingly beautiful, with an outstanding demeanor. Every gesture she made was akin to that of a celestial being, her clothes fluttering gracefully, giving her an even more elegant and dignified air than Wang Liyao.

Whether within the family or outside, she was the epitome of a Wang family matriarch—gentle and generous, prudent and mindful of the bigger picture in her actions.

However, she had her quirks, such as in cooking and the education of the children. The family’s Little Qinglong, Wang Lilong, was still suffering in the Clan School.

Don’t think that Wang Lilong could always dominate the Clan School; after being disciplined a few times by both Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan, that little girl had already become “honest and disciplined,” at least outwardly.

“My sister-in-law is polite,” Long Wuji quickly returned the gesture with due solemnity.

He had been too anxious earlier and didn’t observe Liu Ruolan carefully, but now, taking a closer look, he felt a chill in his heart.

This sister-in-law’s presence was ethereal, exuding both a vastness like the great rivers and a chill like the waterfalls, clearly indicating a profound understanding of the water laws, which even made him somewhat apprehensive.

It seemed Shouzhe’s wife was no simple character.

Most crucially, the information he had collected on the Wang family previously barely mentioned the Wang family matriarch. Had he not seen her with his own eyes, he would never have guessed that Shouzhe’s wife was so exceptionally well-hidden.

She had hidden too deeply~ After formally meeting each other, It just so happened that Jiang Yusong arrived with Wang Shizhao, slowly flying to the Broken Dragon Gorge.

Wang Shizhao was only forty-six years old this year, and compared to the circle of big shots around him, he was still a young greenhorn. Moreover, his talents were relatively poor, just barely reaching the level of a Sky Pride.

He was often busy with many matters, regularly helping his father and grandfather manage family affairs, which is why his cultivation progress wasn’t especially fast, just reaching about the Middle Segment of Level Five of the Spiritual Platform Realm.

He still had a long way to go to reach the Heavenly Human Realm.

While cultivators of the Spiritual Platform Realm could fly on their energy for a while, it was ultimately far inferior to the Heavenly Human Realm. If not for Jiang Yusong’s assistance, he wouldn’t have been able to keep up.

Upon arrival, he dutifully took out tables and dishes from his Storage Ring and set the table again, “Grandfather, Master Dragon, everything has been prepared. Please take your seats.”

Seeing this, Long Wuji promptly sat down at the table with a flourish, “Shouzhe, why not slightly open the slot of the gate and let the water flow slowly? We brothers haven’t seen each other in fifty years, we can drink at leisure, there’s no hurry.”

“No worries, let the water accumulate a bit longer,” Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, “The quality of the products from Wang’s Engineering Team and the Smelting Workshop is fairly reliable; this little bit of water can be held back.”

You might hold back, but my heart can’t, Long Wuji’s facial muscles twitched.

The more the water accumulated, the stronger the impact of the flood once it broke through. No wonder Wang Shouzhe had earlier emphasized that the dykes he built were high and strong; he was waiting here for Long Wuji~!

If really necessary, secret orders must be sent for the fleet to move towards the ferry dock at Changning Wei (Weir).

“Big Brother Dragon,” as if seeing through his thoughts, Wang Shouzhe said, “While we brothers are drinking here, your Jiao Long Fleet must absolutely not make any rash moves. Otherwise, my men might misinterpret that your Jiao Long Fleet is preparing to attack Ping’an Town, and they would immediately blow up the Broken Dragon Slot for self-protection. If a misunderstanding arises from this, it would be quite hard to resolve.”

Long Wuji’s face grew darker as he said in a deep voice, “Brother Shouzhe, you win this round. Do as you please and mingle with Wu Mingyuan, I won’t meddle in your affairs any longer. After this meal, I will lead the fleet to retreat.”

Long Wuji had always been a man of his word, valuing the lives of his men highly. Even if he wanted to win over Wang Shouzhe, he wouldn’t exchange the lives of thousands of his men for it.

“Big Brother Dragon, since you’re already here, why the hurry to leave?” Wang Shouzhe personally poured him a drink, his face full of smiles, “Could it be that you find my hospitality wanting?”

At these words, a sharp light flashed in Long Wuji’s deep eyes, and his aura suddenly became more menacing, “Shouzhe, are you truly planning to keep me here?”

“Big Brother Dragon is open-hearted and just, and although Shouzhe has different allegiances, I hold great admiration for you. It’s just that I have a few heartfelt words to express, and it will trouble me if I don’t,” Wang Shouzhe said solemnly.
