Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2904: Chapter 46: So We’re Married Now? (Part 2)

After some polite exchanges, Wang Anye and the others followed the Eldest Princess of Jade River inside.

Seeing this, Yun Tiange also wanted to follow excitedly, but she was stopped by a sideways glance from the Eldest Princess of Jade River and then mercilessly left outside.

Yun Tiange: ”...”

This double standard is really too much!

Not to mention Yun Tiange here being quite upset, on the other side, those who were invited inside, like Wang Anye and Wang Baosheng, also felt uneasy.

Once the maids served tea and snacks and left one after another, the room suddenly became quiet.

In this awkward atmosphere, Wang Anye stood up with a stiff smile, cupped his hands, and said: ”Your Highness the Eldest Princess, today Anye has brought the little rogue from home to apologize.”

As he spoke, his face turned stern: ”King Baofu, do you realize the kind of foolish things you’ve done?”

Having been called by name, the little fat guy, King Baofu, shivered all over.

He widened his eyes, his round face full of inexplicable terror: ”I, I, I... I didn’t do anything!”

”You dare say you did nothing!? Wang Anye shouted angrily, ”Had you not foolishly meddled with the Qi luck, how could such a grave incident have occurred?”

King Baofu, on the verge of tears from being scolded, looked as aggrieved as he could be: ”I, I was just worried about Brother Baosheng, thinking of adding a bit of luck to help him through difficult times~”

Besides, how could he possibly disrupt the Cycle Heaven Dao’s operations?

At most, he could just add a bit of luck to Brother Baosheng, steering things that were heading in a bad direction towards a good one.

Moreover, Brother Baosheng couldn’t get a wife for so long, and the Old Ancestor was worried sick. Now he suddenly has three marriage prospects, isn’t this a great thing?

”You dare talk back?” Wang Anye grabbed King Baofu, pinned him on his lap, and gave him a sound beating while scolding, ”Had you not been messing around, how could things have turned out this way?”

Poor King Baofu was beaten so badly that his eyes were filled with tears, and he kept crying out in misery. It was truly as pitiful as could be.

”Young Master Anye... please stop hitting him.” The Eldest Princess of Jade River couldn’t help but softly persuade, seeing that the little fat guy was indeed being beaten miserably, ”Actually, this isn’t entirely Bao Fu’s fault. He only acted out of concern for Baosheng, which drove him to desperately enhance the Qi luck.”

”Your Highness the Princess is truly kind and gentle.”

Wang Anye wisely followed her advice, immediately releasing the pitiful King Baofu, and solemnly assured: ”Rest assured, Your Highness, the Wang family will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation regarding this matter. Wang Baosheng!”

”Great grandfather.” Wang Baosheng stepped out trembling.

”You rascal, look at the mess you’ve caused.” Wang Anye grabbed him, full of anger, and gave him a vigorous beating while scolding, ”As a direct line Lil Junior Clan Leader of the Wang family, you should set an example for the family. Yet at a critical moment, you lost control and committed a colossal mistake. Do you acknowledge your mistake?”

”I acknowledge my mistake, great-grandfather.”

Wang Baosheng, trembling all over from the beating, was pale-faced but gritted his teeth without letting out a cry, showing much more toughness than King Baofu.

Nonetheless, judging by his complexion, it was clear that this beating was not light.

This, at least, dissipated much of the resentment in the heart of the Eldest Princess of Jade River.

She also advised, ”Young Master Anye, actually, this matter isn’t entirely Baosheng’s fault either. No one wanted such things to happen. Ultimately, you could blame that Mysterious Female... sigh~~”

In truth, if analyzed closely, this matter really couldn’t be blamed on Wang Baosheng. It was under the influence of the Mysterious Female Saint Pearl that everyone lost their mind.

”Thank you, Princess, for your understanding. However, ultimately, it is Baosheng’s mistake.” Only then did Wang Anye release the severely beaten Wang Baosheng, firmly stating, ”Rest assured, Your Highness, the Wang family will see this through.”

Wang Anye really didn’t have any other tricks up his sleeve. He only remembered that when he was young, the Old Ancestor would handle things this way - beat them first until someone couldn’t bear to watch, then apologize and assure responsibility with a sincere attitude.

Admittedly, Wang Anye’s series of actions, though simple and rough, indeed dissipated much of the resentment and unease in the Eldest Princess of Jade River’s heart.

”Young Master Anye, this matter is indeed quite complex.” The Eldest Princess of Jade River sighed softly, ”Please don’t punish Baosheng anymore; let me calm down first.”

”Of course.” Wang Anye hurriedly stood up to take his leave, ”In that case, we shall take our leave for now.”

He paused for a moment and then added, ”Oh, by the way, Great Elder Yidie discovered during his interactions with the freed Heritage Artifact Spirit that there’s actually a small, single-direction moving array hidden in this Heavenly Abode Courtyard, and its destination is just near the Jade River Sacred Dynasty. If you wish to return, Your Highness may leave at any time.”

Apparently, this moving array was a backup left by Crystal Thirty-Nine and the old Tian Yuan.

However, when this Tian Yuan relic Heavenly Abode was established, the Jade River Sacred Dynasty’s area was probably still a Wilderness Area, and now it has become a prosperous Sacred Dynasty. Even Crystal Thirty-Nine and the old Tian Yuan couldn’t have foreseen this.

Moreover, they have confirmed the identity of the old Tian Yuan.

That old man was precisely the Tian Yuan Taoist Master of the Tian Yuan Dao Sect, who perished due to the Genesis Crystal. Somehow, his True Spirit did not enter the Cycle River but fell into the hands of the Crystal Ancient Tribe. After the tribe’s demise, he escaped alongside Crystal Thirty-Nine to this Tian Yuan Courtyard.
