Protect Our Chief
Chapter 408 - 95: Turn the Tables! Huangfu Family (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)
...
"Junior Brother Shouzhe." Faang You’an’s face darkened slightly and he coughed twice before saying, "That’s because you don’t know much about this world yet. It’s not that Master is unwilling to help. It’s just that every Purple Mansion Ascendant in our Daqian carries very important tasks. A mere Blood Nest is something we can handle ourselves."
Wang Shouzhe ignored him and instead looked hopefully at Junior Sister Lvwei: "Did our Master send any reply?"
"Well..." Junior Sister Lvwei, nibbling on some dried fruit, was caught off guard by the question. Her big eyes rolled around a few times before she awkwardly swallowed the fruit and said dumbly, "There’s a reply. Take a look."
Saying this, she pulled out a letter and handed it to Wang Shouzhe.
Wang Shouzhe opened it and saw only a few words: "Acknowledged, Lvwei has been sent for support."
This...
Wang Shouzhe’s mouth twitched twice.
The Yin Sha Sect bandits invaded and combined with the terrifying Blood Nest relic from the Divine Martial Dynasty, and that’s all the reply there is? What’s the use of only sending Junior Sister Lvwei? Even if Master doesn’t come, a few more senior disciples would be good.
This is really underestimating the Yin Sha Sect and the Blood Nest.
Junior Sister Lvwei, seeing Wang Shouzhe’s disdainful expression, immediately raised her hand weakly and argued, "I’m very strong too, you know?"
"How strong can the Eternal Spring Valley lineage be?" Wang Shouzhe sighed and shook his head.
He had previously been to the Eternal Spring Valley, so he knew better.
Feeling so disliked, Junior Sister Lvwei felt a bit wronged. The dried fruit didn’t taste sweet anymore, and the jerky wasn’t tasty either.
"Don’t mind him, Senior Sister Lvwei." Liua Ruolan laughed and comforted, "He’s just too careful with his life. When it comes to life-and-death situations, he wouldn’t take risks even with a ninety percent chance of success."
"Wife, that’s not quite right." Wang Shouzhe criticized seriously, "When it comes to matters concerning the life and death of the family or risking one’s life, how can you act with ninety percent certainty?"
"As the saying goes, be prepared for the worst. Because it’s impossible to know all of the enemy’s hidden cards, even the lion goes all out when hunting a rabbit. Our Purple Mansion Academy, being the righteous path of the world and taking the protection of all living beings as our duty, yet doesn’t send two Purple Mansion Ascendants to handle such evil occurrences, is truly disappointing."
Faang You’an, who was drinking tea nearby, nearly spit it out.
Just a few mischievous little Yin Sha Sect brats, how are they worthy of having two Purple Mansion Ascendants deal with them?
Every Purple Mansion Ascendant is a pillar of Daqian, carrying far more important missions and tasks. If they had to personally handle every small issue, they’d be exhausted.
This Shouzhe’s line of thinking is truly peculiar.
"By the way, Senior Brother Yoou’an, did the letters I sent to Master Xuan Yao, Lady Illusion Butterfly, Master of Yuan Water Celestial Lake, and the vice principals get any replies? If any of them come, we don’t need any spoils of war." Wang Shouzhe still held a glimmer of hope that perhaps one of the ascendants would have some spare time and come to slay demons and eliminate evil as a side task.
Previously, Wang Shouzhe didn’t have enough of an impression of Purple Mansion Ascendants, until he himself used a ’Purple Mansion Sword Talisman’ and felt that the Purple Mansion Realm was truly strong. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Ancestor Hua Ye, as arrogant and overbearing as he was, wouldn’t stand a chance against a real Purple Mansion Ascendant.
"Uh... Husband, did you write to those ascendants too?" Liua Ruolan placed a gentle hand on her forehead, her pretty face a bit flushed as she spoke, "Our family doesn’t seem to be that familiar with those ascendants, right?"
"The more you communicate, the more familiar you become. I write to them every year, with a generous gift for each ascendant." Wang Shouzhe said, "Relationships need to be built and maintained. Besides, many of our children develop within the Academy, so having more backing is good."
"That’s true, but you haven’t even met the Master of Yuan Water Celestial Lake yet, right? It’s unlikely she’d pay attention to you." Liua Ruolan truly admired her husband. To blatantly cling to powerful connections so openly without concealment, he managed to pull it off.
"I just introduced our daughter Liyao to her situation, preparing to send her to become her direct disciple." Wang Shouzhe said, "It’s clear that the elder is fond of Liyao. She writes back to her every year and sends her little gifts."
Indeed, with Wang Liyao’s extraordinary talent in the Upper Grade B Yuan Water Bloodline, the Master of Yuan Water Celestial Lake is bound to treasure her.
However, given the elder’s personality, she’s unlikely to pay attention to her husband. It’s evident from the fact that she replies to Liyao instead of him.
"Shouzhe, I also followed your intention and visited all the ascendants, each of them replied." Faang You’an mentioned the matter with a slightly flushed face, feeling as if he went begging, "Master Xuan Yao said his celestial human realm direct disciples are too few and busy with other things, so he sent you a sword talisman for protection."
"Sword talisman?" Wang Shouzhe’s heart was filled with joy, "Speaking of which, Master Xuan Yao is still considerate, gifting a sword talisman right off the bat."
He had a deep impression of Master Xuan Yao’s Mountain-Opening Sword Qi, its power should be extraordinary.
"It’s just an ordinary sword talisman, equivalent to a full-force strike of the Celestial Human Realm." Faang You’an took out a sword-shaped jade talisman, engraved with runes and bearing Master Xuan Yao’s unique mark, with a strange look on his face, "Did you think he would be generous enough to give out a Purple Mansion Sword Talisman? That thing consumes the cultivation of Purple Mansion Ascendants."
