Chapter 738: Chapter 97: The Difficulties of Young Clan Leader Zong’an_3

"Chase!" Taishi An Kang’s eyes sharpened, "Today, we must not let him escape!"

As soon as the words fell, the aura around him surged dramatically.

Amidst the sound of metal clashing, a set of dark armor swiftly spread over his body, and he immediately soared into the air, transforming into a dusky yellow streak of light, chasing in the direction Ancestor Kunhao fled.

Ancestor Qiaan Shaoyuan’s eyes sharpened at the sight, he raised his hand to summon, and instantly, a golden abacus appeared in his hand, enveloping him in a golden radiance, shooting up to the sky.

"Old man, where are you running to?!"

The Seven-tailed Fire Fox also roared with rage, and with a stomp of its four feet, transformed into a crimson radiance and gave chase.

In the blink of an eye, four streaks became four rainbows of light streaking across the sky, disappearing sequentially into the distant horizon.

With the departure of several great figures of the Purple Mansion Realm.

Many people felt a gratitude of surviving a disaster, and some of the weaker willed even fell to the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Wei Wenxun, who was in charge of supervision, did not blame them, as even he, a Celestial Human Realm Cultivator, felt an ominous tremor under such overwhelming heavenly might.

After all, Purple Mansion Ascendants are Purple Mansion Ascendants, each of them has comprehended their own dao, and within each move, the power of the Heavenly Dao Laws is contained. From this perspective, the Purple Mansion Realm is already far detached from the realm of mortals. If placed on Earth, each would undeniably be considered a Land Immortal.

"Fortunately, things have finally been resolved." Wei Wenxun’s face slightly regained some Primordial Qi and said angrily, "Who would have thought Ancestor Kunhao of the Cao Family would be so desperado. Thankfully, Patriarch Shouzhe was wise and foresighted, arranging in advance to invite Ancestor Fire Fox, Ancestor Qiaan Shaoyuan, and Lord Governor to guard us."

While speaking, his attitude towards Wang Shouzhe became more fawning.

This Patriarch Shouzhe truly is a figure who can flip clouds and overturn rain with a turn of his hand, let alone his skill in foreseeing the enemy’s plans, the fact that he was able to invite Lord Governor and Ancestor Qiaan Shaoyuan together speaks volumes of his standing.

"Resolved?" Wang Shouzhe stood with his hands behind his back, a subtle smile gracing his face, "I fear that the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind does not cease. Fairy Youqing, since you have come, do you not plan to come out and meet?"

"Y-youqing Fai... Saint Land Celestial Pride Cao Youqing?" Wei Wenxun’s face rapidly changed, "Could it be that all of this was her doing behind the scenes?"

Just as the words fell.

A figure suddenly soared into the air from not far away, dashing rapidly towards them.

As her concealed aura erupted, the ordinary clothes she wore shattered into pieces, and the disguise was instantly removed. A dreamlike Saint Land Celestial Pride female-style Black Tortoise Martial Attire appeared on her body.

This figure, naturally, was Cao Youqing.

Having reached the Celestial Human Realm, her body’s strength and power have already surpassed mortal levels.

If it’s a crushing-level battle, it’s manageable to use powerful Profound Qi to protect one’s clothing.

But once it comes to battles of the same rank, when experts clash, every move is critical, and there’s no spare Profound Qi or effort to protect ordinary clothes.

Given this, high-tier Black Tortoise Battle Armor gradually became a necessity for experts. Not only do they not need to worry about protecting clothes, but it also provides additional resistance.

This set of Black Tortoise Battle Armor on Cao Youqing is a Magical Treasure level battle armor, specially allocated by the Saint Land to internal female Celestial Pride Cultivators, using over dozens of high-end materials in its crafting.

Any woman in Daqian wearing this, wherever she goes, is mostly respected and treated courteously because it represents her Celestial Pride status and suggests she might become a Purple Mansion Ascendant in the future.

However, in front of Wang Shouzhe, this doesn’t prove effective.

He swept an icy gaze, "Cao Youqing, so it really was you causing trouble behind all this."

"Wang Shouzhe!" Cao Youqing’s arched brows were furious, her pretty face filled with resentment and unwillingness, "Why? Why can you always foresee my actions?"

Wang Shouzhe ignored her and instead turned to speak earnestly to Wang Zong’an, "Zong’an, this is precisely why I’ve often told you, ’Character decides fate.’ Looking back, Cao Youqing attacked Qiaan Xuehan publicly, from her behavior, we could deduce two points. First, this woman acts unscrupulously, with reckless audacity. Second, she has extreme confidence in herself, often leaving no room for retreat."

"After repelling her at first, I arranged for someone to investigate her profile. It turns out this woman has been arrogant and unruly since childhood, with a vengeful character. Only after being sent to the Lingyun Sacred Land, where talents gather, did she slightly restrain herself. Yet restraining herself still could not entirely hide her nature, even within the Saint Land, she often clashed with others, standing high when gaining advantage but plotting to retaliate even when suffering losses."

Cao Youqing’s face turned blue upon hearing this, and she yelled angrily, "What does my personality have to do with you?"

"Father, I understand now." Wang Zong’an responded politely with an elegant demeanor, "Father knew her narrow-mindedness would compel her to act against us. Thus, he intentionally set a trap, showing weakness to lure her in. I have learned much."

"What?"

Cao Youqing was dumbstruck, so that’s how it is...

No wonder, every time she got caught in his plans, her character was indeed the biggest flaw.

Though filled with resentment internally, she learned something. Indeed, all those years of hard struggle in the Land of Thunder Punishment slowly chipped away some of her vengeful energy.

Wang Shouzhe patted his son’s shoulder, saying, "An’er, ponder upon this carefully."

Wang Zong’an pondered momentarily, his body trembling, he suddenly understood, "Father, I truly understand now. Father’s intention is to warn me, to take heed, avoiding haste and impulsiveness, refraining from turning every interaction into a life-and-death struggle. Otherwise, not only would it harm oneself, but also implicate the family. Therefore, it’s fair to say that the Liaoyuan Cao Family met its current fate because of Cao Youqing’s involvement."

"This..."

Cao Youqing’s delicate frame trembled again.

The most truthful words often come from the mouths of enemies.

It was indeed her repeated caprice that led the Cao Family into the abyss, attempting revenge, hoping to recover all lost, now even the ancestors are swept into it... 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Alright, alright, I, Cao Youqing..."

"Fool!" Before Cao Youqing could finish, Wang Shouzhe patted Wang Zong’an’s shoulder again, "Although Cao Youqing’s character is problematic, much of it stems from the consequences of family conduct. As it’s said, ’If the upper beam isn’t straight, the lower beam is crooked,’ a family with flawed customs and clan regulations will unavoidably face issues eventually. Without Cao Youqing, there would be Cao Shaoqing, Cao Laoqing, and so on... As the Young Clan Leader, the burden on your shoulders is heavy, you must set an example for the clan~"

Wang Zong’an’s mighty body trembled fiercely in guilt, "Father’s words, I shall remember deeply. Anything you require, just instruct Zong’an, and Zong’an will not disappoint you."

While speaking, he was also secretly excited internally.

Having his father by his side, guiding and teaching patiently, does it mean... he, Wang Zong’an, has finally... Come on, come on~ Let the burden on his shoulders be even heavier.

Even Cao Youqing by the side was slightly dumbfounded, it’s like... Wang Shouzhe’s words seemed somewhat sensible.

Could it be that it was indeed the Cao Family’s fault, her fault, Cao Youqing’s fault?

Yet, she truly envied that Wang Zong’an, having such a wise father making timely teachings, sadly her father...

"Not so, the reason I told you so much is to share a principle with you." Wang Shouzhe said seriously, "In the future, when encountering this kind of woman, stay far away, don’t provoke her. Reflecting on it now, nothing major requires your action."

"So, you should focus your efforts more and make your biggest contribution by giving me more grandchildren."

Wang Zong’an seemed struck by lightning, utterly bewildered.

Me, Wang Zong’an, with a Great Celestial Pride status, does it mean my highest mission in life is to reproduce offspring for the Wang Family?

Me, Zong’an, is this easy for me?
