Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1794: Chapter 148: Princess Su Yun VS Wang Ningxi (Request for Monthly Ticket)_4

Although the position of Princess Mansion Head has not been formally appointed, Wu Yinghao is the most favored candidate. Without any surprises, Wu Yinghao will likely secure the position.

This is one of the reasons why the Wu Family of the Cold Moon has been heavily supporting the Eldest Princess Su Yun.

Once the Eldest Princess ascends to the position of Immortal Emperor, the Wu Family of the Cold Moon will inevitably rise in stature, strengthening the family’s power in the future.

The other staff members are also outstanding young elites from the various Prominent Families and even the Imperial Household within the Immortal Dynasty, all future pillars of the Human race.

This demonstrates that the Eldest Princess Su Yun has more advantageous resources compared to other princesses.

Once everyone had gathered, the Eldest Princess Su Yun quickly recounted the day’s events and said, “Everyone, you are aware of the situation. The Hundred Refinements True Monarch is one of the top Artifact Refiners in our Immortal Dynasty. If he is recruited by the East Qian Country, given his status and influence, it will undoubtedly lead others to follow suit. Therefore, we must thwart Wang Ningxi’s plot. Do any of you have a Crafting Tool Genius to recommend?”

Wu Yinghao slightly raised his sword-like brows and said, “Your Highness, although Wu’s Family has a few youngsters with decent artifact refining talent, expecting one to be praised by the Hundred Refinements True Monarch is likely beyond their reach.”

The rest of the young elites, after careful consideration, also shook their heads with sighs.

While their families boast talented elites, none meet the standards of the Hundred Refinements True Monarch.

It’s not that they lack confidence in their children; the circle of Artifact Refiners is just that small, with many young refiners aspiring to train under the Hundred Refinements True Monarch. They may have tried privately but were unsuccessful.

The Eldest Princess Su Yun furrowed her sword-like brows, slightly angered, and said, “In our Immortal Dynasty, with young talents emerging endlessly, is there truly no one who can rival that Wang Ningxi?”

“Your Highness may not be familiar with the artifact refining realm, hence unaware of some details. This field emphasizes talent and isn’t solely reliant on strong bloodline talent,” Wu Yinghao explained. “To have the qualification to inherit the Hundred Refinements True Monarch’s mantle, one must possess not only extraordinary bloodline talent but also outstanding talent in artifact refining. Moreover, the Hundred Refinements True Monarch was among the most brilliant Crafting Tool Geniuses of our Immortal Dynasty in his youth. It’s hardly simple to receive his praise.”

“Brother Yinghao,” a young elite proposed, “Isn’t the royal family of the Dongqian your Wu Family’s branch? Might you be able to leverage connections within the Dongqian royal family to ease Your Highness’s worries?”

“While the Dongqian royal family is indeed a branch of ours, they’ve long separated and operate as an independent family and country, not as our household staff to be directed at will.” Wu Yinghao frowned. “Moreover, Dongqian has been developing rapidly over the years and holds immense future potential. If Wang Ningxi can successfully expand the Hundred Refinements True Monarch’s mantle, allowing it to surpass its predecessor, perhaps it wouldn’t be entirely bad. At least from a Human race perspective, it doesn’t harm us.”

“Brother Yun Hao, you can’t be so neglectful of your allegiance,” someone criticized. “Although Dongqian belongs to the Immortal Dynasty faction, it still differs from our Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty in nationality. If my family were to casually recruit from your Wu Family of the Cold Moon and take things, and then claim it doesn’t harm the Human race overall, would you be pleased with that?”

“That’s a fallacious argument,” Wu Yinghao retorted angrily.

“All right, all right, we are all on the same side, let’s not argue,” said Yun Xiuyuan, a young Commandery Prince from the Imperial Household. “Speaking of Crafting Tool Geniuses, there is one within our royal family.”

Unlike in Dongqian and other places where one can become a Commandery Prince at the Purple Abode Realm, members of the Immortal Dynasty’s royal family are only granted this title upon advancing to the Divine Power Territory, with the title of ’King’ bestowed at the Void Realm.

“Xiuyuan, I’ve never heard of a young Crafting Tool Genius within the royal family,” the Eldest Princess Su Yun said, both curious and doubtful.

“Your Highness, you spend most of your time on outer region battlefields, even when returning you only rest for a few years, so you might not be familiar with the younger generation in the family,” Yun Xiuyuan explained. “Furthermore, that boy Tongguang has an eccentric personality, spends all his time at home researching artifact refining, even becoming obsessed. If not for close family ties, I might not even be aware of him.”

“An eccentric personality?”

The Eldest Princess couldn’t help but recall the behavior patterns of those direct male Artifact Refiners, a smile tugging at her lips.

“Good, the more peculiar the personality the better; obsession is also welcomed. I find Wang Ningxi’s personality rather odd as well. Then, Xiuyuan, go fetch Yun Tongguang, let me meet him first. Meanwhile, the others also seek out other Crafting Tool Geniuses. We’ll assemble a group to try our luck. Perhaps the Hundred Refinements True Monarch might just fancy them?”

“Yinghao stays behind; I have some questions for you while the others go busy themselves.”

“I comply with Your Highness’s command.”

The group of young elites promptly excused themselves, leaving Wu Yinghao alone.

Wu Yinghao felt slightly anxious, respectfully saying, “Your Highness, I truly have no intention of disloyalty.”

“I kept you not for that reason; I’ve always trusted your character.” The Eldest Princess said casually, “A young Honorable Guest has arrived at my mansion, apparently she’s your relative. Please accompany me to welcome the young guest.”

“Certainly, Your Highness.”

Only then did Wu Yinghao breathe a sigh of relief, curious internally. Who could this young Honorable Guest be, his relative nonetheless, and valued so highly by the Eldest Princess?

Just then, before they could proceed.

Suddenly.

A maid serving Princess Hua Rui burst out from the adjacent room, frantically shouting, “Your Highness, Your Highness, something terrible has happened. The Little Princess Hua Rui—she’s fainted.”

The Eldest Princess’s expression changed, swiftly entering the adjacent room.

She found Wang Jidie sprawled over an examination paper, having fainted.

Under the light, her once fair and delicate skin had somehow turned bright red, seemingly emanating heat, as if a blazing fire were burning within her body.

The condition looked alarming.

“This…”

The Eldest Princess hurried forward, grasping her wrist, infusing pure Mysterious Energy into her body to protect her heart vein and stabilize the rampaging energy within.

However, once the Mysterious Energy infused, she realized the oddity.

This scorching, overpowering force within the girl’s body wasn’t an external invasion but originated deeply within her own body, surging from her own bloodline.

Her expression subtly changed: “This feels like a secondary bloodline metamorphosis! What a fierce transformation, her body might not withstand it. Quick! Summon the imperial physician.”

Meanwhile, the Eldest Princess Su Yun was internally tumultuous with shock.

She had heard earlier in conversation with the little girl, learning that she possessed a First Class Heavenly Proud Bloodline, and her family had planned to help her break through the bloodline as she matured further.

Unexpectedly, she underwent bloodline metamorphosis for no apparent reason.

Such occurrences are extremely rare, albeit not entirely without precedent.

“Could she be…?”

The Eldest Princess’s heart trembled, her gaze gradually revealing a peculiar expression.

“Kill kill kill! You foreign demons, roll back to where you came from! Those who dare offend my Divine Dynasty shall be slain by me! Kill them!” In her unconscious state, Wang Jidie’s whole body trembled violently, seemingly recalling something, suddenly roaring as if speaking in her sleep.
