Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 327: Chapter 62: End up with an extra wife! It’s tough being a Young Clan Leader_3

In Wang Shouzhe’s words, this scene could be described as: the Old Ancestor Hua Ye was adept at grabbing the spotlight.

Now, with an invitation from the Old Ancestor Hua Ye, who had recently risen to become the top master of Changning Weicheng, Wang Shouzhe naturally wouldn’t decline publicly and offend him.

According to tradition, he had prepared ample gifts and leisurely travelled in his carriage to the south of Changning Guard City.

The main residence of the Huangfu Clan was located in the south of Changning Guard City. There were numerous businesses and branches of their connections around, all of which belonged to the Huangfu Clan.

A family with a history of five hundred years had developed a truly frightening number of direct lines and branch cousins. Some of the outstanding members among them have now become the mainstay of various industries in the Huangfu family, providing a steady stream of financial and manpower support for the Huangfu Clan’s development.

But enough of that for now.

Wang Shouzhe’s carriage, under the protection of his household guards, had just arrived to the south of the city when it was halted.

The one who had halted the carriage was not a stranger, but the head of the household of the Changning Xu family.

The head of household had an impressive aura and strength, reflecting the power and foundation of an old Grade Eight Prominent Family.

He politely clasped his hands in salute, saying, “Family Head Wang, our Family Head Xu has invited you to join him in a carriage.”

“Since Uncle Wu invites me, I won’t refuse,” responded Wang Shouzhe.

Wang Shouzhe was not surprised, and he smiled, issuing some instructions to his guards before openly climbing into the carriage of the Xu family’s head, Xu Anbang, with no intention of concealing his actions.

Such a scene would naturally be noticed by significantly interested parties.

However, as of now, Changning Xu family and Ping’an Wang family had been getting closer and cooperating with each other is no longer a secret, so it’s not surprising to many people.

However, Wang Shouzhe had just settled into Xu Anbang’s carriage and before he even had time to exchange pleasantries with the other party, the carriage was stopped again.

He lifted the curtain to see that the one who had stopped the carriage was an old man who looked like a plain and unimpressive servant. However, the aura and power that was leaking from the old man could not be hidden from the eyes of a Profound Martial cultivator who was in the Spirit Platform Realm.

Without a doubt, this was a strong individual in the Spiritual Platform Realm.

The old man saluted Wang Shouzhe, “Master Shouzhe, my mistress wishes to meet with you.”

Wang Shouzhe’s mouth twitched.

Even with the makeup and disguise, could he not recognize his own Grand Elder Xiaohan?

Needless to say, the so-called “Mistress” in the carriage behind him was none other than Wang Mei, who was disguised as “Lady Ji”.

This was not part of his plan, and he didn’t know what she was up to.

As he was considering how to decline, he saw the curtain on the opposite side being lifted, and a graceful and charming woman stepped out of the carriage and elegantly walked up to him and Xu Anbang, looking at them with a smile.

“Master Shouzhe, Master Xu, could you do me this favor?”

Regardless of whether it was out of courtesy or other reasons, neither Wang Shouzhe nor Xu Anbang could refuse. They politely invited her onto the carriage.

The three of them together in one carriage, heading towards the main residence of the Huangfu clan.

Such a scene quickly reached the ears of Huangfu Jinhuan, who was preparing a banquet.

Upon hearing the news, he couldn’t help but chuckle, “That woman surnamed Ji really has no patience and couldn’t wait to act. With this move, she not only puts pressure on us but also smartly hedges her bets on both sides. A commendable calculation.”

Huangfu Deyun was somewhat worried, “Uncle Jinhuan, could she really be cooperating with the Changning Xu family and the Ping’an Wang family?”

“Hmph, it doesn’t matter.” Huangfu Jinhuan sneered coldly. “After tonight, she’ll know who the real master of Changning Weicheng is!”

…

At this moment, in Xu Anbang’s carriage, the air was filled with the scent of tea, but the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Even though the space within the carriage was already quite spacious, because of Lady Ji’s presence, Wang Shouzhe and Xu Anbang had to squeeze on one side, facing her.

Lady Ji watched Wang Shouzhe with deep, melancholic eyes, as if she was holding back unspeakable grievances.

However, Wang Shouzhe was not making eye contact and completely ignored her grievances.

What a joke! Even if she had grievances, he couldn’t afford to sit next to her. Otherwise, this day next year would probably be the anniversary of his death.

“Shouzhe, what is this…”

Xu Anbang glanced at the enchanting Lady Ji, then back at Wang Shouzhe. With flickering eyes and an unsettled heart, he asked.

Did he know about something huge?

“Ahem…”

Wang Shouzhe immediately coughed twice, explaining to Xu Anbang, “Uncle Wu, Lady Ji here is my business partner. You mustn’t misunderstand.”

“No, I’ve not misunderstood,” said Xu Anbang, appearing completely enlightened, and nodded repeatedly. “I know, she’s your business partner, and definitely not anyone else.”

After a pause, Xu Anbang, looking very supportive, said, “Don’t worry, Shouzhe, I will keep this to myself.”

“Alright.” Seeing him believe so, Wang Shouzhe knew he wouldn’t be able to clear up this misunderstanding. No longer bothering to explain, he glanced at Lady Ji and said, “Lady Ji, aren’t you afraid that Huangfu Jinhuan would be suspicious for you ditching his carriage to join ours?”

“Master Shouzhe, you joke,” Lady Ji covered her mouth laughingly, her eyes twinkling and full of charm. “The Huangfu Clan of Changning are but my business partners. I am not their subordinate, so who needs their permission to ride another’s carriage?”

“Moreover, it’s exactly the suspicion that I want to create. The more suspicious he is, the more chaotic his mind will be. And chaos often leads to mistakes.”
