Protect Our Clan Leader

...

"?"

Wang Shouzhe wore a slightly stunned look on his face.

Though he prided himself on his good memory, he had no recollection of this young beautiful woman who had suddenly approached him to say hello.

Qian Xuehan and Wang Zonghao were also taken aback, immediately casting Wang Shouzhe ambiguous glances that only men could understand.

Tsk tsk tsk... who would have thought that Master Shouzhe would turn out to be such an experienced playboy? It had been less than a month since he arrived in the Southern Desert, yet he had already attracted a number of beauties.

Rumor has it that the celestial being of the Tian Yan Painting Boat, after meeting Master Shouzhe once, closed her doors to all visitors, leaving everyone to wonder what had happened. Additionally, heavenly prodigy Huangfu Feifei of the Huangfu Clan also seems to have developed some affection for Master Shouzhe.

Seeing all eyes on him, Wang Shouzhe quickly recovered and politely returned the greeting: "May I know who you are, Miss...?"

Mo Wanqiu was quick to respond with another salute, "Master Shouzhe, you flatter me. I’m Wanqiu, a core disciple under Master Xuanyao from the Purple Abode Academic Palace in Longzuo, and also a junior to Sister Luo Qiu. When Miss Li Yao was accepted as a disciple by Enlightened One Tianhe, I had the honor of seeing Master Shouzhe from afar, which is why I’ve come to pay my respects."

From the Xuanyao Lineage?

Wang Shouzhe suddenly understood and said, "So you’re Luo Qiu’s younger disciple. In that case, don’t be so formal, just call me ’Senior Brother’."

Technically speaking, Wang Shouzhe was also a named direct disciple of the Changchun Valley Academic Palace at the Purple Abode.

"I dare not," Mo Wanqiu shook her head hurriedly, "As a follower of Miss Li Yao, I would never be disrespectful to the Family Head."

"Li Yao’s follower?" Wang Shouzhe asked, slightly puzzled, "When did that happen?"

Normally, taking a follower is a significant event. In some senses, Li Yao’s follower is half a member of the Wang family. Therefore, Li Yao should have informed him through a letter.

Before Li Yao accepted Lu Xianghui as her follower, she had indeed written to him, which led him to investigate Lu Xianghui’s background, tracing his ancestry back eighteen generations. After confirming the Lu Family was intertwined but honorable, he gave her the go-ahead.

Mo Wanqiu looked slightly embarrassed, her cheeks flushed as she explained, "Miss Li Yao hasn’t agreed to this yet. However, I believe that sincerity can move mountains... in my heart, she is already my master."

"Uh..."

Wang Shouzhe rolled his eyes inwardly, surprised to find this young girl was so passionate.

However, he thought it best to leave matters among the younger generation to sort themselves out.

At present, there wasn’t much he could say and offhandedly encouraged, "You should work hard then, try to earn Li Yao’s recognition."

"Thank you, Master Shouzhe." Mo Wanqiu’s spirit soared with excitement, her cheeks flushed as she nodded vigorously, "I will certainly work hard."

"Wanqiu, you also recognize Master Shouzhe?" Huangfu Feifei followed them, her eyes sweeping over both of them before landing on her close friend, a suspicious look in her eyes.

"Fei Fei," Mo Wanqiu responded, a bit embarrassed, as she tugged at Fei Fei’s sleeve to whisper, "This Master Shouzhe here is the ’lady’s’ father that I mentioned to you."

"What?"

Huangfu Feifei was somewhat surprised, and couldn’t help but give Wang Shouzhe a few glances, inwardly amazed.

Who would have thought that not only was Master Shouzhe a family man with sons and daughters, but his daughter turned out to be a Great Heavenly Proud!

Alas.... a Great Heavenly Proud daughter, she must have a proud and haughty personality, right? It would surely not be easy to get along well in future endeavors... Ah, that’s a headache~

"It seems Fei Fei and Wanqiu know each other... This meeting is surely fate, I should invite you to a meal to celebrate. However, I’m rather occupied today, so I hope we can do this another time," Wang Shouzhe explained, politely bowing to everyone, "I must take my leave, excuse me."

After bidding goodbye to everyone, Wang Shouzhe left Hundred Treasures Pavilion with Old Ancestor Longyan, Wang Shihai, and Wang Shuzhu.

Watching them leave, Qian Xuehan maintained a calm facade, but inside he felt a mix of emotions.

The Heavenly Proud is worthy of being called a Heavenly Proud! Your journey continues with NovelBin.Côm

Although he had known from the start about Wang Liyao becoming a disciple of Enlightened One Tianhe, he still envied the attitudes others had towards the Heavenly Proud.

If he had such an exceptional aptitude back then, he wouldn’t have needed to lower himself, to forever consent to the dumb woman Cao Li Na, wringing his hands for so many years.

Meanwhile...

At the entrance of the Zuoqiu family’s private room, Zuo Qiu scowled while glaring at Wang Shouzhe.

It was that man who had snatched his treasure pill. Not only that, but the rascal was even more handsome than him. This was unbearable!

However, the veiled, icy woman behind him had an extraordinary body, aloof temperament, and exceptional demeanor, truly a rare find.

As Zuo Qiu thought of this, he couldn’t help but sneak a few more looks at Old Ancestor Longyan.

All of a sudden...

Old Ancestor Longyan turned her head slightly, her icy, deep eyes gaze briefly touching upon Zuo Qiu.

An invisible, yet palpable killing intent enveloped him, as if he had been targeted.

"Huh?"

Zuo Qiu instantly felt as if he’d been thrown into an ice-cold cellar. His body broke out in cold sweat, his hair stood on end.

This feeling was like being fixated on by a ferocious beast. Any tiny abnormal movement would lead to instant death.

The two mid-stage Heavenly Human Realm elders standing beside him noticed the change in the atmosphere, and also instantly felt the dangerous aura.
