Is this the man who has reduced his plans to naught time and again?

It is indeed this man who, after deciding to serve the An Commandery Prince, swiftly elevated his patron’s standing. Now, the An Commandery Prince’s prestige among the lower ranked Prominent Families and the commoners has even reached the point where he can hold his own against the Kang Commandery Prince.

There was a time when he did not even take Wang Shouzhe seriously, thinking of him only as someone with a knack for making money.

Yet, who would have thought that such an insignificant figure from a rural family could rise so quickly, to the extent of stirring the winds and commanding the rains, even influencing the future course of the Daqian Dynasty?

“Brother Chengchao, do not be impatient. Young Master Ce is merely executing the order to capture fugitives. He is a Sky Pride of the Sacred Land and certainly will not threaten anyone rashly,” Wang Shouzhe said calmly with a smile, “Since matters have reached this point, I believe Young Master Ce will not let Zhao Zhikun off easily. Brother Chengchao, please have him brought out.”

“Fine, with you and the An Commandery Prince ensuring justice here, I’m not afraid of Gong Yang Ce committing murder and silence others,” Yao Chengchao actually spoke directly against Gong Yang Ce.

Clearly, his previous demeanor had merely been feigning weakness to deceive his adversary.

The Sky Pride of the Sacred Land is indeed formidable, but what does that have to do with Mr. Yao? With incompatible auras and worldviews, forcing friendship would be pointless.

Following that, Yao Chengchao, as instructed by Wang Shouzhe, brought out the disheveled Zhao Zhikun and his wife from their secret hold.

By this point, how could Zhao Zhikun and his wife fail to understand their situation?

They were merely pawns manipulated at will, becoming tools in the power struggle between Kang Commandery Prince and An Commandery Prince.

“That girl I met at the clothing store, she’s with the An Commandery Prince?” Jiang’s eyes seemed clearly unfriendly towards the An Commandery Prince.

Before the An Commandery Prince could reply, Wang Shouzhe stepped forward and apologetically said, “Madam Zhao, the girl is one of my people. She assisted you both in your escape, following my orders.”

“You are Wang Shouzhe?” Jiang’s hatred for Wang Shouzhe seemed particularly intense, she said through gritted teeth, “You, you ruined everything for us. You have already won, why continue to scheme against us, refusing to let us go?”

“Madam Zhao’s words are misplaced,” Wang Shouzhe sighed, “Zhao Zhikun assisted the Kang Commandery Prince in targeting our Wang family; it is normal, as each served their master. However, once you’ve entered the arena of high stakes, whether you lose or win, live or die, it is no longer up to you to decide.”

“One should not enter the fray if they are unwilling to face the consequences. Once involved, one must be prepared to bear the consequences, and not resort to blaming others.”

Zhao Zhikun clutched Jiang, and with a bitter smile said, “Yuanshang, he is right. Since we have lost, we must be prepared to face that. It’s just that this time, not only have I suffered, but I have also implicated you.”

After a pause, Zhao Zhikun bowed to the An Commandery Prince and Wang Shouzhe, and said bitterly: “Your Highness Ming Yuan, Master Shouzhe, it was I who strategized for Kang Commandery Prince, and it was I who targeted the Changning Wang family previously. I Zhao Zhikun alone should bear the blame for these actions and ask that you spare Yuanshang.”

The An Commandery Prince glanced at Wang Shouzhe and then stepped back half a step, standing with his hands behind his back and looking around as if to say, “I don’t have the patience to deal with such trivial matters; Wang Shouzhe, you handle it.”

Wang Shouzhe frowned at the An Commandery Prince.

For a Quasi Emperor’s Son to be so lazy! Usually, it is either farming and researching or happily playing chess and beating the inexperienced.

If he remains this lazy after becoming a Great Emperor, wouldn’t I, Wang Shouzhe, be worked to death?

No, no, for the sake of a relaxed life in my later years, I must not indulge his bad habits.

With this thought, Wang Shouzhe also stepped back and, pulling Yao Chengchao along, began discussing amusing anecdotes about the Immortal Dynasty, adopting an attitude of indifference to the matter at hand.

It’s His Highness competing for the title of Emperor’s son, not me…

At this, it was the An Commandery Prince’s turn to be dumbstruck, recalling how comfortable it was to handle affairs with Zong’an. Zong’an always managed all manner of trivial matters smoothly, allowing him to be worry-free.

Now, handling affairs outside with Wang Shouzhe, he truly understood the principle that there is none lazier, only lazier still.

He now realized why Zong’an’s character was so steady and meticulous, considering every aspect. With such a parent as carefree and unconventional as a wild crane, it would be hard not to be thorough and cautious.

“Young Clan Leader Zong’an truly has it tough.”

After sighing inwardly, the An Commandery Prince had no choice but to step forward and say, “Zhao Zhikun, Jiang, we will set aside your matter for now.”

Having said this, he looked sternly at Gong Yang Ce and said, “Gong Yang Ce, as a Sky Pride of the Sacred Land, one of the future Quasi Sacred Sons, how can you not distinguish between right and wrong, truth and falsehood?”

“Your Highness, it’s just each of us protecting our own lords,” Gong Yang Ce’s eyes flickered a few times, unable to bring himself to lie outright.

“Absurd!” the An Commandery Prince waved his sleeve and said sternly, “You are a successor of one of the Sacred Land’s Nine Veins, a lineal descendent of the Taiyi Jinyang True Method, and surely one of the future guardians of the Daqian. If you lack even basic integrity, how will you protect the Daqian, protect the Human race?”

“If this is the case, I indeed need to meet with Enlightened One Lang Ya and Master Jiang. I need to ask them if the Sacred Land has degenerated to the point where might makes right? To cover up the crimes of Kang Commandery Prince, are you permitted to kill indiscriminately on his behalf?”
