Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 66: Hidden Perils of Dangerous Thunderi

Translator: 549690339

In the eyes of Liu Yongzhou, Miss Zhong was the most flawless young lady he had ever seen. She was gentle and captivating, but in every word and every frown, she exuded a touch of ethereal, immortal charm.

Although she never revealed which Profound Martial aristocratic family she came from, she must belong to a very noble clan, as evidenced by her aura. The eldest daughter of the Liu Clan certainly looked remarkable, and two prominent families had proposed marriage to her. However, compared to Miss Zhong Luoxian, she seemed like a farm girl who reared chickens and ducks at home.

Luoxian.

What a beautiful and ethereal name. She indeed appeared like an immortal girl who accidentally fell from the celestial palace.

Even when she was eating the Spirit Fish, she unintentionally ate only the tender parts like the belly and cheeks, often just tasting it for its fresh flavor.

He didn’t dare offer the White Jade Spiritual Rice Wine which he used to consider precious. Its faint disdain and disdain in her eyes, was still fresh in his memory.

The only thing that vexed him and filled him with regret was: why on earth did he drink wine on the boat with that damned Zhao kid, Zhao Dingtian, that day? If not for that, he would have been the only one to save Miss Zhong.

Damn Zhao Dingtian, Luoxian doesn’t like you, but you still dare to pester her every day.

However, his contact with Luoxian would probably end soon. The head of household from Zhong’s family had already found her and was preparing to take her back.

However, this also conveniently informed him that Miss Zhong’s family seemed to be in need of food, and was buying food from a large family in Donghaei. Their relationship seemed very close, and the additional conditions of the other party were not high.

“Yongzhou, tell us the situation.” Liu Shengye interrupted his reverie with a slightly knitted brow.

With his emotions quelled, Liu Yongzhou reported the general situation.

“Could it be a swindler?” A senior member raised a doubt, “There aren’t so many destitute young ladies in this world.”

“Third Uncle!” Liu Yongzhou was somewhat angry, “You should not randomly slander the lady. I just happened to hear about this matter, and Miss Zhong never actively mentioned it. I thought that since Sun Clan is avaricious, I might as well ask Miss Zhong if she could help us buy some supplies.”

Zhong Clan? Which prominent family named Zhong is near Changning? Could it be from somewhere else…

“Yongzhou, even if they are willing to sell, we don’t have enough Qian Gold to buy.’¹ Liu Shengye was somewhat embarrassed, “I wonder if we can still buy on credit and repay double after the autumn harvest.”

“Family Head, why can’t we take out a thousand or two thousand Qian Golds? I can’t handle this.” Liu Yongzhou was now embarrassed. He usually portrayed himself as a wealthy young master to impress Luoxian, but now he had to owe money, especially to his goddess, and he didn’t know how to speak up.

“This…” Liu Shengye pondered for a moment and refused to speak.

Upon a little consideration, Liu Yongzhou suddenly exclaimed with joy, “Could it be that great uncle he…”

His great uncle, Liu Shenghao, was the first in the Spirit Platform sequence that the Liu Clan had been heavily cultivating. The clan had expended a great deal of financial and material resources for this.

Luckily, the overall conditions of the Liu Clan were superior to the Wang Family, and when cultivating the Spiritual Platform Sequence, it did not squeeze the resources of other clan members. Therefore, Liu Yongzhou was able to perform so outstandingly among the younger generation.

If his great uncle advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm, the family would inevitably expand its territory and, as an excellent junior of the Yong generation, wouldn’t he… also have a chance?

He was overjoyed.

Liu Shengye said solemnly, “Since you have guessed the general situation, you are after all part of the core of the Yong generation, so I might as well not hide it from you. However, you must keep it a secret. Yes, your great uncle is making final preparations. The key “Heavenly Spirit Pill”‘ has been purchased. But to ensure absolute success, two more auxiliary spirit pills are still needed. If you accomplish a great feat… you know what that means.”

“All right.” Liu Yongzhou suddenly perked up, “Even if this matter is somewhat embarrassing, I am willing to give it a try.”

It’s normal for the family resources to be slightly tight because they want to advance an ancestor. This wouldn’t be too embarrassing.

Moreover, once the family has more Spirit Platform ancestors, the family’s situation will be greatly improved. If the clan resources increase, from the tone of the Family Head, the next candidate for cultivation may be Liu Yongzhou himself.

Once a family flourishes, it may continue to accelerate its development like compound interest. On the other hand, if a family declines, it will likely become increasingly unlucky and be obstructed everywhere.

In Liu Yongzhou’s view, the Liu Clan is a family that is gaining momentum, while the Wang Family is sinking deeper and deeper into the mire and is unable to extricate itself.

He is full of confidence. After accomplishing this great feat, his future achievement will be unlimited.

Two days later.

In the side hall of the Wang family main residence, upon hearing some news, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but chuckle, putting down the secret letter in his hand. Immediately, he bowed his hand to the visitor and said, “Brother Chen, you’ve worked hard on this matter.”

“Leader Wang.” The man hurriedly returned the courtesy, his expression slightly apologetic, “During the last visit to the Hundred Islands Guard, I was not aware of your identity, please forgive any unintended slight.”

This man was Chen Fanghua, an elite member of the Chen Clan who had accompanied him to meet the Hundred Islands Guard. With his extensive sea-faring experience, sharp interpersonal skills, and tactful demeanor, he was an exceptionally talented individual.

This time, in a bid to strike at the Liu and Zhao clans, besides Wang Mei, the head of household, other household guards could not be used.

Fortunately, the plan required the strength of the Chen Clan. After much thought, he wrote a letter to Chen Fangjie, seeking his support in carrying out his scheme. In exchange for his help, a share of the profits would be guaranteed upon the plan’s success.

Given Chen Fangjie’s personality, he naturally wouldn’t refuse to collaborate with Wang Shouzhe.

Even if the plan were to fail, given the influence of the Chen Clan of Donggang, and its unique yet far geographical location, he truly had no fear of offending the Zhao or Liu clans.

Once Chen Fanghua arrived, Wang Zhong integrated him into the plan. He and another relatively unknown Chen Clan member, disguised as the head of household for Zhong Luoxian, came to find the missing young lady.

The plan was carried out successfully. The so-called “best friends” Liu Yongzhou of the Liu Clan and Zhao Dingtian of the Zhao Clan, had both been ensnared. The operation had now progressed to phase two.

“Brother Chen, don’t be too formal.” Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, “During our last trip to the Hundred Islands Guard, I was totally dependent on your help. It should be me apologizing to you for concealing my identity. Let that be water under the bridge. For now, during this operation, it is utmost important for you to ensure your safety, Brother Chen. If anything goes wrong, I would rather abort the mission than risk any safety issues.”

“This plan is ingenious, and our part of it is quite simple, nothing could go wrong.” Chen Fanghua said in admiration, “Leader Wang really found an amazing ally, a woman with the grace of a fairy. Fortunately, I am already married and know she belongs to you, or else I might have fallen for her.”

A fairy? Haha~

Wang Shouzhe chuckled to himself. If you, Chen Fanghua, saw her real face, that would truly shock you.

Huh?

Not quite, Wang Shouzhe strained to recall what Wang Mei looked like, but he couldn’t even remember her face. A dry smile twitched at the corner of his mouth. True enough, household head Wang Mei was so ordinary, her true face had almost no presence and was easily forgettable, even more so than that of a passerby.

After Chen Fanghua had left.

Wang Shouzhe opened the secret letter from Wang Mei again. The seared lacquer seal had already been broken by him, but the astonishing news had led him to put it aside temporarily.

Now, after reading it carefully again, he knitted his brows tightly, this situation was troublesome indeed.

The progress of Liu Shenghao of the Liu Clan along the Spirit Platform path was not much of a secret. However, he always kept a low profile, and many times his existence was overlooked. Moreover, not long ago he had just revealed that he had barely reached the Level Nine of the Vital Energy Refining Realm.

But now, in the blink of an eye, he had already quietly reached the Peak Level Nine, and was secretly preparing for the last step, even securing a Heavenly Spirit Pill.

The Wang family originally estimated that it would be at least five years before Liu Shenghao took the final step.

The Liu Clan, which had been independent for only fifty years, is growing stronger. Apart from satisfying the development of the family, they had managed to save up a Heavenly Spirit Pill so quickly, and was indeed not to be underestimated.

The talent of the Liu Clan’s Family Head, Liu Shengye, was mediocre, but his ability to earn money was truly great.

Wang Mei’s information should not be wrong, it was a truth Liu Yongzhou had spilled in his drunken state.

This is a common mistake among many men. In front of a woman they admire but feel inadequate to woo, they would attempt to boost their own worth.

If the Liu Clan could produce a Spirit Platform Realm elder at any time, what about the Zhao Clan?

The Zhao Clan had always been even more low-key than the Liu Clan. Perhaps at this moment, their journey to the Spirit Platform had also reached a key junction.

Wang Shouzhe’s face was solemn, tapping on the table, lost in thought. After a long while, he wrote a secret command and sealed it with melted wax before sending it secretly to Wang Mei.

This matter couldn’t be taken lightly. If not handled properly, it could spell the end of the Wang family. But if it worked out, it could deliver a fatal blow to their enemies.
