Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2884: Chapter 41: Anye: I Heard Someone Wants to Test Their Luck

The Eldest Princess of Jade River almost spat out a mouthful of old blood and died on the spot.

When you needed something from this Princess, it was ”Princess” this, ”Princess” that. Now that I’ve just given you a tiny bit of a hard time, you start calling me ’Senior’? I at least have a dating qualification certificate, okay?

Of course, the ”qualification certificate” was just a joke.

With her age and Cultivation base, how could she possibly really date Wang Baosheng?

Even if sometimes she had to admit that Wang Baosheng was indeed outstanding—if only she were a few thousand years younger...

”If it were a ring battle, among the younger generation, who could possibly beat you?” The Eldest Princess of Jade River said coldly. ”Your Wang family took eighty-one Chaos Spirit Stones, and if everyone ends up losing with resentment in their hearts, how could this matter possibly be settled peacefully?”

”Baby Bao Saint, this really isn’t bullying you.” At this moment, the Purple Frost Sword Saint in purple robes stroked his beard and advised, ”You’ve already reclaimed the Immortal Scripture relics and made an advance profit of eighty-one Chaos Spirit Stones; your gains are already extremely generous. You can’t expect your Wang family to pocket all the benefits, can you? Our Purple Frost Sword Palace also paid six Chaos Spirit Stones to buy two slots.”

Upon hearing this, Yin Lingzhu’s expression chilled slightly. Just as she was about to step out and speak, she was pulled back by Wang Baosheng.

”Forget it, forget it, what they’re saying does make some sense.” Wang Baosheng said blandly. ”Each clan did pay for their slots. If we don’t give them a chance to compete for the Opportunity, this matter absolutely won’t blow over.”

”But then, what about your Sacred Image, Brother Bao Saint?” Yin Lingzhu said angrily. ”And inside there’s even something like the [Chaos Marrow Washing Pool], that kind of good stuff. If we’d known this earlier, we should’ve just come explore the dungeon ourselves. Why bother selling slots?”

Wang Baosheng, however, did not regret it in his heart.

The existence of this dungeon had already been exposed. With so many pairs of covetous eyes staring, if they didn’t sell slots, could they have come here this easily and smoothly?

Even with Yin Lingzhu here, and the option of asking the Taoist Master Taichu to act as a notary using his own prestige, it wasn’t impossible; but meddling so arbitrarily in local affairs would definitely leave all the various clans displeased, planting even more hidden troubles instead.

Better to do it like this, and lay everything out on the table.

And the current situation was actually something Wang Baosheng had already anticipated long ago.

Just judging by common sense, no one would be willing to spend a ”huge sum” and end up without even a single shot at an opportunity.

So, with him, Wang Baosheng, being young yet overwhelmingly strong and of outstanding bloodline, how could he ensure those chances were ”fair”?

There was nothing for it but to rely on ”Opportunity.”

Thus, when he proposed selling slots as a solution to the ”immediate crisis,” Wang Baosheng had already inferred that in the end they’d most likely have to depend on luck to fight for Opportunities. This was the kind of ”fair competition” he was more than happy to see, given his absolute advantage.

As for competing in luck...

Wang Baosheng glanced at his great grandfather, Wang Anye, not far away in fluttering white robes, a gentle smile on his face, and at the shy-looking yet full-of-blessing-luck little fat boy that Great Grandfather was holding by the hand, and he instantly felt at ease.

Great Grandfather was right: Bao Sheng, in this life you’re not fighting alone; the family will be your solid backing.

”It’s fine, it’s fine. If I gain it, I’m fortunate; if I lose it, it’s my fate.” Wang Baosheng withdrew his gaze and instead began to comfort Yin Lingzhu. ”It’s just a Sacred Image. With my Talent, maybe I can deduce it myself when the time comes.”

”Even if your luck’s good enough to deduce it successfully, by then you’ll already be a white-haired old Sacred Supreme...” Yin Lingzhu still couldn’t get over it and grumbled, then suddenly had another thought. ”If your luck’s bad and you don’t get the inheritance, then just join the Primordial Taoist Palace. With your aptitude, no matter who you worship as master, people will fight over you. I can compete with you fairly for the Taichu Dao Book’s inheritance.”

”That... we’ll talk about it when the time comes.” Wang Baosheng coughed lightly, a flicker of embarrassment flashing through his eyes.

He hadn’t forgotten that in his past life he’d snuck out quite a bit from the Dao Palace—like a Void Beast egg with Half Immortal potential, the Chaotic World Destruction Pearl, and so on. To put it bluntly, they were all stolen ”loot.” If he went to the Dao Palace, the Taoist Master Taichu would most likely settle accounts with him.

Though he possessed part of his past life’s memories, his skin still hadn’t been tempered as thick as it had been back then.

Besides, he currently bore the responsibility of continuing his family line as the Lil Junior Clan Leader, the heir of the Direct Line. If he could avoid going to the Dao Palace, of course he’d avoid it.

After ”struggling” for a moment, Wang Baosheng put on a helpless expression and looked at the Eldest Princess of Jade River: ”Since that’s the case, then we’ll do as Senior Jade River says and use a ’lottery’ to decide. As long as Senior Jade River can guarantee fairness and justice.”

”You can rest assured on that.” The Eldest Princess of Jade River said confidently. ”I can swear on the honor of the Yuhe Royal Family’s ancestors of all generations that this lottery will be absolutely fair, each relying on their own luck. Besides, the Purple Frost Sword Saint is here to supervise as well.”

With that, all the clans naturally threw their support behind it, one after another expressing their trust in and support for the Eldest Princess of Jade River.

And so the matter was decided.

With a stir of her God Sense, the Eldest Princess of Jade River immediately tossed out a Small Illusion Array Banner and dropped twenty-eight identical-looking number plaques into it.

She said loudly, ”This array isolates all God Sense probing. Everyone will rely purely on luck for the lottery. Who’s coming up first?!”

As soon as her voice fell, someone responded and confidently stepped up to draw.

One draw—and he ended up ranked nineteenth!

His face collapsed on the spot. It’s over, it’s over, I came all this way just to be a background extra.
