Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1779: Chapter 145: Rich’s Sister! Princess Hua Rui_2

The two from the Zhao Clan both looked pleased. One of them stepped forward and respectfully asked, “Old Ancestor, do you know the whereabouts of Butterfly?”

“Jingyu, don’t worry about it. Butterfly’s little schemes can’t possibly escape my notice,” Wang Shouzhe comforted with a kind expression. “It’s normal for a child to run away from home after feeling wronged.”

“Um, Old Ancestor, I’m Jingling, the mother of Rich,” Zhao Jingling said through her tears with a smile. “Since everything is under your control, we can rest assured now, rest assured.”

“…”

Wang Shouzhe coughed lightly, looking slightly awkward.

The Zhao twins looked so alike that he couldn’t tell them apart with the naked eye. Of course, if he made a special effort to observe them or used his God Sense to carefully distinguish them, he would be able to.

But they were both his great-grandsons’ wives, so how could he act so inappropriately as to randomly use his God Sense to probe them?

“That’s what I thought,” Wang Ning Yi and Wang Ning Yao, the two brothers, also breathed a sigh of relief, and happiness showed on their faces. “That little ancestor Butterfly has always been attached to Old Ancestor. Any small thoughts she might have would hardly escape Old Ancestor’s discerning eyes.”

“And you two still dare to gloat?” Zhao Jingling and Zhao Jingyu glared angrily at their husbands. “If it weren’t for you two hitting her too hard this time, would she have run away from home?”

“This, this, this… Wasn’t it because Butterfly was too naughty and couldn’t settle down to study? Otherwise, would we have hit her?”

“How dare you say that! She’s still young, couldn’t you have taught her properly instead?”

“Teach her? She’s only eight, yet as shameless as ever, showing no sign of being the Wang family’s eldest daughter or an outside princess of Da Qian.”

“Enough with you two, Old Ancestor, where is Butterfly? Why don’t we go bring her back now?”

“Bring her back?” Wang Shouzhe shook his head. “It’s too late for that. Butterfly has already boarded the cloud-riding ship going to the Immortal Dynasty.”

To the Immortal Dynasty?

All four of them were taken aback, turning pale: “Old Ancestor, she’s, she’s, she’s gone to the Immortal Dynasty? She’s only eight, how can she run away to the Immortal Dynasty alone?”

“Why not? She got hit, felt upset, so she went out to relax. Is there anything wrong with that? Wang Ning Yi, Wang Ning Yao, you two rascals haven’t taught your daughter well, and I haven’t even settled that score with you yet,” Wang Shouzhe said with a slight frown.

The two brothers quickly began to sweat.

They knew Old Ancestor greatly doted on Butterfly. Seeing his expression, it was clear he was very upset about this incident.

“O-old Ancestor, we, we…” they stammered in apology. “It’s all our fault for not managing Butterfly properly.”

But inside, they felt wronged too.

Back in the day, when Rich was being raised, wasn’t it the same? Why was he so much easier to handle? But with Butterfly, no matter how they tried, it wouldn’t work and things only got worse.

“Hmph, I’ll deal with you two later,” Wang Shouzhe waved his hand. “You should go back now. I’ve already assigned someone to secretly keep an eye on Butterfly.”

“Yes, Old Ancestor.”

Although Wang Ning Yi and Wang Ning Yao were still a bit worried, considering that Old Ancestor was already handling the matter, they thought nothing serious would happen and hurriedly bowed to Wang Shouzhe, then quickly retreated with their wives.

Meanwhile, Emperor Zi’an felt relieved after hearing Wang Shouzhe’s words too.

However, even though the child wasn’t lost, having such a young child go to the Immortal Dynasty still made him uneasy.

After they left, he couldn’t help but complain to Wang Shouzhe, “Shouzhe, it’s not that I want to be critical, but your Wang family is too strict with the children. Hua Rui is still a child, not able to settle down to study is normal. And besides, she carries our Wu family’s Azure Dragon bloodline, she is destined to become a great figure in the future.”

“It’s precisely because of the Azure Dragon bloodline that I worry a bit about her cultural education,” Wang Shouzhe replied with a serious expression, furrowed eyebrows, “But, some things can’t be forced. If need be, I’ll personally tutor her later.”

“Shouzhe, your words are too much…” Emperor Zi’an was infuriated, his anger visible, “What’s wrong with the Azure Dragon bloodline from our Wu family? Does the Azure Dragon bloodline eat up your family’s resources?”

Wang Shouzhe glanced at him without responding.

“…”

Emperor Zi’an grew even more upset.

…

At the same time.

Over the vast, azure sea, a cloud-riding ship from Da Qian’s Changning Region to the Immortal Dynasty glided effortlessly and comfortably above the clouds.

As Changning Guard’s economy develops rapidly, the demand for transporting goods and passengers has been rising, prompting Yao’s Air Transport to increase flight frequencies accordingly. Whereas over by Return to Dragon City, flights have also increased but not as frequently as those connecting with Changning Guard.

Thus, the area of Changning Guard is increasingly becoming the economic hub of Da Qian.

With the Wang family’s deep collaboration with Cold Moon Yao Clan, they have been reaping substantial profits, and their family’s strength is growing at an observable pace, potentially becoming another Overquality Prominent Family in the future.

Yao Chengchao, a young elite of the Yao family’s new generation.

Initially, he wasn’t at the forefront of the Yao family’s priority sequence, even facing some exclusion; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been managing this out-of-the-way flight in Da Qian. But because of this opportunity, he was fortunate enough to ally with the Wang family, achieving an incredible reversal of fortune.

Given his current position as one of the two Void Realm seeds in the family, he ordinarily would not need to partake in routine escort duties. However, this time, the flight of the Wang family to the Immortal Dynasty was quite significant, carrying numerous new Black Armors. These would later be sent to the outer battlefield and were of utmost importance.
