Protect Our Chief-Chapter 621 - 59 Tragedy! Wang Shihai

Subsequently, he made an excuse to leave with the elders.

Throughout the entire process, he was neither too cold nor too warm, always behaving politely, as if merely fulfilling the necessary etiquette.

With Wang Shouzhe’s disposition, he naturally wouldn’t blame the Southern Desert Wang Family. Because even the current Longzuo Wang Family has very little interaction with the Southern Desert Wang Family, let alone the smaller branch of the Changning Wang Family.

Their feelings were quite distant, and given the large class differences, it was natural they couldn’t be very warm with each other.

If it wasn’t for the Southern Desert Wang Family previously failing in their welcoming responsibilities, Wang Zonghao might have just gone through the motions for this welcoming banquet, with the main host being, at most, a Celestial Human Realm Elder.

As the clan leader, Wang Zonghao only needed to appear again when Wang Shouzhe and others were leaving, preparing a gift for the Changning Wang Family, which would suffice as fulfilling the etiquette expected between clan relatives.

This is why Wang Shouzhe didn’t want to disturb the Southern Desert Wang Family this time.

Regarding their relationship, feelings, and noble family hierarchy, it’s enough to just go through the motions. Wang Shouzhe might not even see the Ancestor of the Purple Mansion from the Southern Desert Wang Family. Informing them would be meaningless.

...

Only the poor Wang Shihai was caught by his father to serve as the host and guide for the Changning Wang Family during their stay in the Southern Desert.

The next morning.

He unwillingly ran to the courtyard where Wang Shouzhe was temporarily staying, pretending to invite him for a tour around the city. In his heart, he was secretly praying that Wang Shouzhe would refuse, saving him the trouble.

The two thousand Qian Gold his father allocated for hosting expenses could then find a way into his own pocket. Two thousand Qian Gold was a considerable sum for him.

"Shihai, you worked hard to get up early for the reception." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Originally, I wanted to rest a few days after the tiresome journey. But considering your sincere intentions, I couldn’t bear to disappoint you. So, let’s go for a walk."

Wang Shihai almost choked, rolling his eyes internally, thinking, "Who asked you not to disappoint? Feel free to disappoint me, just don’t be lenient."

Unfortunately, Wang Shouzhe seemed to be in high spirits, accompanying Wang Shihai as they headed towards the main gate of the mansion. Behind him, at a distance, followed a humanoid puppet, "Wang Shouzhu", cloaked in a black robe, his true appearance hidden, moving silently and discreetly.

"Is this a puppet guardian?" Wang Shihai asked curiously, "Such a Spirit Platform Realm guardian puppet is worth as much as a magical treasure. You surely spent a lot on this useless thing." He muttered to himself, show-off!

A Spirit Platform Realm puppet guardian could support a Ninth-Grade Noble Family. However, in the eyes of a Purple Mansion Family, it is just redundant, its practicality far less than a lower-grade magical treasure.

After all, within a Fifth-Grade Purple Mansion, Spirit Platform Realm cultivators are almost a standard setup in the household. Unless one’s talent is too lacking or they are an illegitimate child not putting in the effort, normally any Wang Family descendant is mostly a Spirit Platform Realm.

Back then, only Long Wuji could see through the puppet "Wang Shouzhu" at a glance. How could Wang Shihai glimpse its true nature?

"It was just found by chance, repaired for temporary use," Wang Shouzhe chuckled indifferently, "Our Changning Wang Family is merely Seventh Grade, so we are satisfied with this puppet guardian."

Wang Shihai pursed his lips and said no more.

However, as the two walked outside, they encountered some youngsters heading to the clan academy or training ground. At the sight of Wang Shihai, their faces changed dramatically, dispersing quickly as if they had run into a fearsome Demon King of Chaos.

Even a frail and thin little girl, unable to escape in time, collapsed onto the ground in fright, wailing, "Grandmaster Demon King, don’t eat Taotao, Taotao is so scared."

The corner of Wang Shouzhe’s mouth twitched, casting a strange look at Wang Shihai. What kind of person is this kid to scare all the children so badly?

Wronged!

Wronged, truly~

Wang Shihai almost spat blood. Normally, he just had a bad temper and had beaten up a few juniors. Talk of eating people was a rumor! Besides, he didn’t even recognize this bean sprout-like little girl. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The Southern Desert Wang Family was large and populous, and Wang Shihai couldn’t possibly know every child. This little girl cried so irritably that under normal circumstances, he would just turn and leave.

However, with an external "elder" relative present, he needed to avoid creating negative rumors for the Southern Desert Wang Family. Wang Shihai reluctantly went to coax the little girl, and sure enough, she cried even more miserably.

He had no choice but to pull out a red envelope from his bosom and give it to the girl: "Alright, alright, your Uncle Shihai apologizes. This red envelope is compensation."

That red envelope was the one Wang Shouzhe had given him the previous day.

After keeping it on him, he forgot it, hadn’t even opened it. He figured it was merely a hundred or so Qian Gold, so he used it to appease and solve problems for the juniors.

Seeing this, Wang Shouzhe’s mouth twitched, and he cast a somewhat sympathetic glance at Wang Shihai.

The little girl, however, was quite peculiar. Upon receiving the red envelope, she clung to it tightly, ceasing her cries, wiping away her tears and snot, and earnestly said, "Thank you, Grandmaster Demon King, Grandmaster Demon King is a good person."

"What’s your name?" Wang Shihai asked, twitching his mouth, pretending to be kind and gently patting her head.

"My name is Wang Meitao, and Grandmaster Demon King can just call me Tao’er." Wang Meitao couldn’t wait any longer and began opening the red envelope. As soon as she tore a corner, a brilliant purple color was revealed inside.
