Protect Our Clan Leader

Wu Dianshan was slightly dumbfounded...

Speaking of the An Commandery Prince, he indeed lagged behind the Kang Commandery Prince in many areas, who was of the same Quasi-Emperor's Son status. But he had two significant advantages.

First, his daughter, Little Princess Yiluo, was deeply loved by the emperor.

Second, the An Commandery Prince was adept at farming and had a large group of experts with advanced agricultural cultivation skills under his command. His ability to cultivate the Purple Jade Immortal Vine was indicative of his mastery and accumulated knowledge in agricultural technology.

Moreover, the Northwest Guard was bathed in abundant sunlight, with a thick fertile soil layer beneath the sandy soil. The Purple Jade Immortal grapes cultivated at the core of top-level spirit veins were surprisingly no worse than those from the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty.

The only regret was the small quantity produced. The majority of the Purple Jade Immortal Wine he brewed was offered up to the Emperor. Most of what remained was divided up amongst the elders in the Imperial Household. Even he, the mighty Left Commandery Prince, could only occasionally taste a glass.

Having spoken so long with An Commandery Prince Wu Mingyuan and even exchanged small gifts, Wang Shouzhe had developed a closer relationship and gained a better understanding of the other party.

It was only then that they began discussing the main topic.

"Your Highness Commandery Prince, my family's disobedient monkey was indeed rude. The fault lies in my negligence and poor discipline," Wang Shouzhe got up and deeply bowed.

The An Commandery Prince quickly helped Wang Shouzhe up, "Shou Zhe, don't be like this. I have already investigated the truth. It was only a series of misunderstandings."

"Though there may have been some misunderstandings, that little monkey's behavior was too impulsive, resulting in the insult to the Little Princess. I assure you, Your Highness, that I will take responsibility for this,"

Having said that, Wang Shouzhe sternly glanced at Wang Zong'an behind him, "Wang Zong'an, that is your grandson. It's up to you to deal with it."

Wang Zong'an's face paled, and he quickly bowed, "Father, I understand."

Then, he angrily turned around and stared at Wang Shizhao behind him, flinging his sleeve, "You are clearly incompetent in teaching your son. Deal with it yourself."

Wang Shizhao's face dropped, and his heart trembled. He quickly bowed to his father, begging for his anger to subside, then turned to Wang Anye with furrowed brows, scolding, "You little beast, how dare you commit such outrageous acts?"

Wang Anye was so frightened his eyes were wide open, "Father, it was all a misunderstanding…"

before he could finish, Wang Shizhao picked him up with one hand, carrying a prepared rattan whip in the other, and began a fierce whipping, while cursing, "I will beat this small beast to death! I might as well not have birthed you."

Wang Anye was screeching. His two short arms and two short legs thrashing in the air, but he couldn't wriggle free from his father's iron grip.

That look was both pitiful and distressing, and hilariously unexpected.

This scene brought great joy to the Little Princess Wu Yiluo hiding behind, covering her mouth and giggling quietly.

You little brat! This serves you right for bullying me and blasting my clothes off with that sword technique you suddenly mastered. You deserve this beating!

"Why does seeing this little kid being beaten make me feel so satisfied? How strange~" On the other side, Wu Dianshan stroked his beard with a "loving" and contented expression.

However, to both Wu Mingyuan and Gongye Qingrui, this was received differently. The husband and wife glanced at each other from a distance, both noticing the other's wrinkling eyebrows.

During these past few days of cool-down.

The couple had also privately discussed the matter.

Overall, although Yiluo was at a disadvantage in this matter, firstly, the cause of this incident was due to her willfulness. Secondly, Wang Anye was only ten years old and Yiluo was only nine. They were both small children, so the impact wasn't significant.

Their initial anxiety and anger stemmed primarily from Yiluo's disappearance which made them feel anxious, resulting in the loss of calm and an overly sensitive reaction.

Once they had calmed down entirely and thought it through, their perspective had gradually changed.

Gongye Qingrui even thought that this incident might not be a bad thing.

Wang Anye was the main descendant of the direct line of the Changning Wang Clan and his maternal family, the powerful Longzuo Qian family.

Although the Wang family was currently only Rank Six, for anyone paying a little attention, it would be easy to see the enormous potential of the Wang family.

On the contrary, the Longzuo Yan family, another old prominent family with Purple Abode status, had gradually declined in recent years.

The primary force of the Longzuo Yan family was located in the north of Longzuo County, focused on livestock raising, secondary farming, and mining. These industries were still okay during the early stages of development of Longzuo County, but later on, with the emergence of various other families, they gradually lost their advantage.

Moreover, the main problem with the Yan Family was that their family's Old Ancestor was now six to seven hundred years old. Unfortunately, a hundred years ago, their family's Purple Abode Seed failed during the challenge and their Spiritual Platform was severely damaged. This had an almost fatal impact on the Yan Family, which was not in a very good state to begin with.

This was also the essential reason why the Yan family had been keeping a low profile recently.

They had no choice but to lay low~

Just the transition of the Purple Abode was enough to make the Yan family worry to death. How could they have the spare capacity to deal with other things? Therefore, they have been focusing their main efforts on the north, striving to maintain their increasingly competitive industries.

In the meantime, they even sold a lot of their industries in the Longzuo County City, on one hand, striving to extend the lifespan of the elderly Ancestor of the Purple Abode, and on the other hand, training the second Purple Abode successor at the fastest speed.
