Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2314: Chapter 8: I Was Almost Dead, and Only Now Am I Successful! (Part 4)

“Uh…”

Now, the pressure was on Master Changchun.

He looked at Shouzhe awkwardly and said, “What do you think, how should we handle this matter?”

“The night is deep, and most guests have already rested,” Wang Shouzhe said. “Master, why don’t you rest for the night, and tomorrow morning, I’ll gather the guests and explain everything clearly.”

Following his advice, Master Changchun went back to the small house to rest, while Wang Shouzhe and a few disciples temporarily stayed outside the house.

Initially, Wang Shouzhe’s arrangement seemed fine.

But at dawn, just as the sky began to show a faint white line, a dazzling light pierced through the clouds, rushing in from the distant sky.

A vast icy chill descended from the sky, instantly covering half of Changchun Valley.

The disciples in the valley were startled awake by the commotion and came out to check. They saw in the snow-light, a woman dressed in palace attire, descending on an ice crystal longsword.

She had a cool and ethereal face, her beautiful eyes were notably profound, carrying a compelling sharpness as she glanced around. She seemed to blend into the surrounding ice and snow, her clothes fluttering, exuding an imposing aura.

The chilly aura made the flowers, grasses, and trees in Changchun Valley wither a bit.

Some old people in the valley immediately recognized her.

The person who arrived was none other than Enlightened One Binglan from the Icy Soul Sacred Land.

And the sword beneath her feet was her Ice Soul Dao Sword.

At this moment, however, Binglan’s ethereal face expressed an indescribable sadness.

“Senior Brother.”

Before Binglan even arrived in person, her voice reached first.

She cried out mournfully, her figure rushed into the small wooden house like a dazzling light.

Wang Shouzhe hurriedly stepped forward, “Shouzhe greets Senior Binglan, please don’t be too sad.”

In the early years, Binglan Enlightened One took great care of the Wang family, and she was the master of Old Ancestor Longyan, so Wang Shouzhe naturally held her in high regard.

“Shouzhe, you are here too, but how can I not be sad?” Binglan Enlightened One’s tears kept falling, “Although I have had misunderstandings and disagreements with Senior Brother, I have always treated him coldly over the years. But if it hadn’t been for Senior Brother saving me back then, Binglan would have been… It’s my fault that I didn’t forgive him sooner~”

“Well…” Wang Shouzhe’s scalp was faintly tingling, sensing trouble, he hurriedly wanted to explain, “Senior, in fact, my master…”

“I understand, he has true spirit exhaustion beyond recovery, I just want to see him one last time,” Binglan Enlightened One said while heading into Master Changchun’s bedroom, her tears flowing continously, “Senior Brother, your Binglan Junior Sister is here to see you. Actually, I always wanted to tell you, I still like you, Senior Brother… I have forgiven you for the past.”

Wang Shouzhe followed in feeling chilled down his spine, only to see Master Changchun lying on the bed shivering speechlessly.

Master, how could he dare get up right now?

Binglan Enlightened One, known for her bad temper, was obviously extremely heartbroken to reveal such heartfelt sentiment. If she found out that Master wasn’t actually dying and still had a bright future, she would likely go berserk.

However, pretending to be dead isn’t a solution for Master, it only makes things worse. Things that need facing should be addressed promptly.

Immediately, Wang Shouzhe flicked his fingers lightly, and a thread of energy silently hit Master Changchun’s knee.

Master Changchun winced in pain and jumped up with an “Aiyo”.

Realizing he couldn’t continue pretending, he glared at the mischievous Wang Shouzhe, then looked at Binglan apologetically and greeted her weakly, “Junior Sister~ you’re here.”

“?”

Binglan Enlightened One’s tears still hung at the corner of her eye, looking shocked at Master Changchun with his loud voice and ample vigor, “You, you, you… you…”

“Well… I was about to die, but Shouzhe came and saved me, and it seems I can live for a long time,” Master Changchun’s old face twitched, he chuckled awkwardly, “Surprised, isn’t it?”

“I don’t believe you! Changchun, you dare to lie to me!” Binglan Enlightened One was exceedingly angry, summoning her Ice Soul Dao Sword and slashing towards Master Changchun, “Just like before, you’re a liar!”

She was clearly furious, and although the strike wasn’t at full strength, she still used two to three percent of her power. The fierce sword light seemed poised to cut Master Changchun in half.

If it truly hit, Master Changchun would at least lose half his life.

Wang Shouzhe hastily wielded a half-immortal artifact longsword to block the attack for Master Changchun.

“Boom!”

The collision of sword lights shattered explosively, a terrifying energy shock wave instantly blowing the small house into pieces, Master Changchun was flung into the sky.

“Wang Shouzhe, stand aside, or I’ll hit you too,” Binglan Enlightened One furiously shouted.

“Alright, alright, I’m moving, I’m moving,” Wang Shouzhe hurriedly stepped aside.

It wasn’t as if he couldn’t defeat Binglan Enlightened One. With his current divine power territory advanced stage, he could handle Binglan Enlightened One. However, there was clearly something odd between Master and Binglan Enlightened One, and it wasn’t appropriate to intervene too much.

Seeing Binglan Enlightened One aggressively charging to attack, he swiftly advised, “But my master’s ‘injuries just healed’, his foundation is still relatively weak, Senior Binglan, please have mercy, don’t let him be killed.”

“Hmph! Such an old liar, better dead,” Binglan Enlightened One’s tone slightly eased, but she still didn’t intend to spare Master Changchun, her figure flickered and rose up, attacking Master Changchun in the air.

“Boom boom boom!”

A series of booming sounds immediately resonated in the air.

In the sky, Master Changchun dodged east and west, repeatedly pleading, “Junior Sister, I was wrong, Junior Sister, listen to my explanation… regarding that matter back then…”

However, before he could finish speaking, his words were interrupted by the fierce sword intent.

“Boom boom boom!”

Every sword light exploded like a continuous thunderclap, shaking the very ground of Changchun Valley.

For a moment, all of Changchun Valley was alerted. Even those disciples who were heavy sleepers were awakened now, rushing out of their houses.

Senior Sister Green Fern also flew to Wang Shouzhe’s side, somewhat worried, “Junior Brother Shouzhe, is Master going to be alright? Should we help?”

Jinshan followed half a step behind, watching the situation in the sky with a tense expression, “Junior Brother, maybe you should advise them~”

“Nothing to worry about, as long as there’s no death it can be salvaged. Besides, Senior Binglan measures her strikes,” Wang Shouzhe took out a melon, sharing it with Senior Sister Green Fern and Jinshan, then fetched a recliner to sit on, eating his melon while saying, “Let’s watch while eating. I never thought Master and Senior Binglan had such a dramatic past. The matters of the elders aren’t ours to meddle in.”

“Hey, from Master’s tone, there seemed to be another senior sister involved?” Senior Sister Green Fern ate her melon, eagerly watching the duo combat and argue, listening to snippets, her imagination running wild, “I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it, our Master was quite dashing and handsome in his youth~~”
