Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 825: Chapter 16 Great Heavenly Proud Sweeps Across the Imperial Capital_4 Chapter 825: Chapter 16 Great Heavenly Proud Sweeps Across the Imperial Capital_4 Wu Zhixing was drenched in cold sweat, saying awkwardly, “This… Grand Aunt, you know me, I actually don’t like to fight at all. The title of ‘Top Ten Outstanding Youths’, that was their own doing, I never agreed to it.”

“As for the Challenger of Heaven, whoever wishes to go, let them. If I have spare time, I’d rather use it to comprehend the laws, striving to grasp Small Divine Power as soon as possible and prepare for entering the Purple Abode Realm.”

“You! You, you, you! You’re really making me angry! Hopeless block of wood that you are!” Little loli Wu Xuening jumped up and down furiously, her baby-faced cheeks flushing with rage.

Seeing this, the beautiful middle-aged woman beside her quickly comforted her with a smile, whispering soothing words. Wu Zhixing also repeatedly bowed and mumbled apologies.

The huffy expression on the little loli’s face slowly subsided.

With her hands behind her back, she started to sigh dejectedly, “Sigh~ why is my fate so bitter? Although gifted with extraordinary talent and exceptional aptitude, born at an inopportune time, I’m too young to catch up with the Emperor’s son’s struggle, and as a member of the Imperial Household with royal blood, it’s inconvenient to join the conflict of the Saint. And on the rare occasion of the Challenger of Heaven, I can only watch the excitement because I’m too weak.”

“Sigh~~ It seems that in this life, I can only rely on being born into the royal family and slack my days away~~ Sigh~ such a miserable fate~ and now, even my usually obedient and well-behaved grandchild doesn’t listen to me.”

How could this not sound so smack-worthy~
Wu Zhixing’s mouth twitched: “Grand Aunt, what exactly do you want to do? Just tell me straight.”

“Hehe~ my dear grandchild, you understand me,” Little loli Wu Xuening’s downtrodden expression disappeared instantly, replaced by a smile, “I want you to take me to White Cloud Tower to observe the Challenger of Heaven. You know, my father won’t let me go if I’m not accompanied by someone with enough strength.”

“This…” Wu Zhixing hesitated.

The little loli narrowed her eyes, clearly meaning ‘dare to refuse and you’ll see’.

Recalling the Grand Aunt’s past “glorious” achievements, Wu Zhixing’s headache intensified. Although reluctant, he finally nodded in agreement.

“Good grandchild, I knew you’re the most obedient. Let’s go, go to White Cloud Tower.”

Wu Xuening opened her eyes wide again, her face looking innocent and cute as she pulled Wu Zhixing out the door, chuckling to herself in her heart.

She knew that her dear grandchild Zhixing would definitely agree. Now she not only had the chance to watch the Challenger of Heaven but also managed to force Zhixing to take action, killing two birds with one stone.

Hehe~ she was indeed so clever~~
…
Inside White Cloud Tower.

Heng Commandery Prince spent quite some effort and finally pacified the diners with his charming eloquence, declaring that if the next fight was not exciting, they would offer refunds!

Then.

He hurriedly rushed to the lounge where Wang Liyao was resting and complained incessantly, “My Miss Liyao, can’t you fight properly for once? Drag it out a bit longer, even just for thirty breaths would be good.”

“Your Highness, when venturing outside, father has given me instructions,” Wang Liyao said solemnly as she leisurely sipped her Spiritual Tea, “One must have their own principles in life and act accordingly.”

“Father… judging by the name Wang Shouzhe, he must be a rigid, dull, and conservative man,” Heng Commandery Prince slapped his forehead, expressing helplessness, “Forget it, let’s do this. From now on until Miss Liyao has finished fighting in the Challenger of Heaven, I will give you a cut of the revenues from White Cloud Tower—a full ten percent! Do you realize how much that is?”

“I’m aware,” Wang Liyao nodded slightly, “That sounds somewhat interesting.”

“Good, good, good, now we can have a proper discussion,” Heng Commandery Prince’s smile grew hearty with relief, “To restore our reputation, the next fight will feature Great Qian Wang Clan’s Wang An Nan.”

“Wang An Nan? From the Great Qian Wang Clan’s ‘An’ generation?” A dreamy look flashed in Wang Liyao’s eyes, “That generation…”

“His status is indeed high within the Great Qian Wang Clan, but he’s still quite young. Miss Liyao, don’t look down on him, he’s the third-ranked, actually second-ranked, young talent in the capital, and his talent has been elevated to Second Rate Supremacy after a series of promotions. At ninety-four years of age, he has already reached Level Four of the Heavenly Human Realm!”

“Alright.” Even with Wang Liyao’s demeanor, she felt a flicker of interest, but the thought quickly passed, and she calmly stated, “Thirty percent, starting from the first battle, of all revenues, and I will cooperate with His Highness the Prince?”

“What?” Heng Commandery Prince gulped, wanting to bargain, but upon seeing Wang Liyao’s serene expression, he gritted his teeth and said, “Thirty percent it is, you—you and Lici are just little gluttons.”

“However, in this upcoming fight with Wang An Nan, Miss Liyao, you must put on a good show, at least lasting the time of one stick of incense, otherwise, it will be difficult for this Prince to make arrangements afterward.”

Suddenly.

Wang Liyao lifted her head, her gaze becoming complex, “Your Highness, do you know that the Great Qian Wang Clan is the main lineage of our Changning Wang Clan?”

“Is that so? That’s right, now that I think about it, there was indeed a ‘Li’ generation in the Wang family before, but it seemed they didn’t amount to much,” Heng Commandery Prince was surprised but grew even more excited and said, “However, this makes it even more sensational. We’re going to make a fortune off this.”

In fact, up until he had spent five years with Lici, Heng Commandery Prince had always considered money as something extraneous…

“Does the Prince know that if we go by seniority, Wang An Nan would be considered my grandson?” Wang Liyao held up her teacup and took a sip, “This point makes it difficult for me, I’d feel a bit awkward to strike him down.”

“Then Miss Liyao’s meaning is…” Heng Commandery Prince was full of doubt, “Should we switch to the fourth-ranked competitor from the Gongye Family instead?”

“No, for this match, the price must go up!”

“…” Heng Commandery Prince.
