Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1478: Chapter 69 Rich! Slaughter in All Directions (Seeking Monthly Votes) _3

As Luo Xuanji spoke eloquently, everyone suddenly came to a realization.

It turned out that Luo Yuqing had bet on the right contender in the imperial son’s rivalry in Dongqian.

“Speaking of which, your Luo Clan has quite an eye for talent.” Wu Zhiyu commented like a little adult, “I once heard my elders mention Emperor Zi’an, a relative from our clan. They said he’s a man of great talent and grand vision; supervising the country for a mere century or so, he has made Dongqian’s national strength increasingly prosperous. The imported glass bottles of red wine, cumin seasonings, and special grains from Dongqian have also become quite popular over the years in Immortal City, earning pots of gold.”

“Exactly, our family’s Old Ancestor also holds Emperor Zi’an in high regard,” Luo Xuanji said solemnly and respectfully. “I once overheard my family’s Old Ancestor saying that these years, the variety of Dan medicine ingredients and spiritual artifacts imported from Immortal City to Dongqian are increasing year by year, with a rapid growth rate. Its national strength can truly be described as ‘robust.’ Within a thousand or two years, it could possibly annex those two rival demonic countries.”

Luo Xuanji had a good memory, though he wasn’t deeply knowledgeable he recalled his elder’s occasional remarks remarkably well, and he discussed the topic as if fully versed, hardly seeming like a child just over ten years old.

Together, the two of them praised Emperor Zi’an to the skies.

Suddenly Wu Zhiyu realized, “I almost forgot. The Wang family is also a Grade Five Prominent Family from Dongqian, right? Xuanji, when you have time, say some good words in front of your Old Ancestor Yuqing. She is now a favorite of Emperor Zi’an, sometimes one word from her could outweigh a small family’s thousand years of development.”

Luo Xuanji hesitated momentarily and then said, “Old Ancestor Yuqing values me quite highly, I’ll try when I get a chance. But perhaps the words of the princely heir are even more effective? After all, Dongqian’s Imperial Household is also your direct clan relatives.”

“True, I will write a letter to Emperor Zi’an when I get a chance, asking him to take care of your Wang family a bit,” Wu Zhiyu said with a slight smirk of pride.

With their mutual compliments, they placed themselves on a high pedestal. That Wang Fugui was smart and clever, but after all, he was merely from a Grade Five Prominent Family…

“Enough already,” Yun Mengyu suddenly became displeased, slamming the table and saying, “As if you two kids understand anything, showing off your family background with half-baked knowledge. What does Emperor Zi’an’s great talent have to do with you?”

Although she had been in the Wang family for half a year, besides Wang Fugui, she didn’t click with other children nor did she ever look into Wang family’s marital alliances. Naturally, Wang Fugui didn’t just show off his family background to her, so she was clueless that Emperor Zi’an was actually Wang Fugui’s great-grandfather on his direct maternal side.

Jade Spirit True Monarch, however, was propping up her chin, watching all this with interest.

She had actually expected Wang Fugui to retort a bit, but unexpectedly, he didn’t react at all, just quietly continued eating while pulling Yun Mengyu’s sleeves, signaling her not to bother arguing.

…

This kid Fugui, really was overly mature, Jade Spirit True Monarch gave her forehead a touch, despite her aloof appearance, she considered herself a “chivalrous” person; for enough money, she would dare venture in and out of the Demonic Dynasty.

As the Clan Leader of the Wang family, Wang Shouzhe was generous and full of potential, potentially her major financial backer in the future.

Immediately, she feigned a hearsay demeanor and said, “Li Xuan and Yiyi, actually your Mengyu has quite the eye. As I know, this Fugui is no simple character.”

“Jade Spirit Old Ancestor, do you perhaps know some insider details?” Jiang Yiyi asked curiously.

“Oh, you didn’t know?” Jade Spirit True Monarch said with a mysterious look, “Actually, Fugui is Emperor Zi’an’s direct great-grandson.”

“Ah?” Jiang Yiyi covered her mouth, staring at Fugui with growing curiosity, “No wonder this child is so charming, impeccable in manners and very clever, to be so closely related by blood to Emperor Zi’an.”

With these words.

The faces of the several youths suddenly turned shocked and stiff, sweat dripping from their foreheads; they had praised Emperor Zi’an so much, as though each could speak to him directly, yet they never expected, the silent Wang Fugui was actually so close by blood to Emperor Zi’an…

Even King of the North’s face twitched slightly, casting an unusual look at Wang Fugui, this boy really could keep his calm; had Jade Spirit True Monarch not pointed it out, who would have known his close connection to Emperor Zi’an?

Dongqian has been developing much faster recently, especially in the past few decades becoming more renowned.

Although King of the North held a revered status, also in the Transcendent Void Realm, compared to a Great Emperor who ruled a whole country, he was still slightly inferior in unseen status.

Not good!

Suddenly, he felt unease in his heart, the red envelope was given too little earlier.

The direct great-grandson of Emperor Zi’an, visiting his Northern Territory Mansion, and he had given only ten thousand Immortal Crystals as a red envelope… If this got out, his reputation for being stingy in the Northern Territory would be hard to cleanse.

“Fugui, why didn’t you say earlier?” Jiang Yiyi said somewhat reproachfully, “Wearing this title of a Grade Five Prominent Family, making people underestimate you?” As she spoke, she gave those few youths a displeased glare.

“Imperial Consort,” Wang Fugui saluted, “Although my great-grandfather is none less than Emperor Zi’an, fundamentally I am still of direct long line of the Changning Wang Clan, and besides, our Changning Wang Clan has nothing to be ashamed of.”
