Protect Our Clan Leader-Chapter 903 - 34 Shocking! Long Wuji Falls, Great Emperor Furious (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

Long Wuji’s face finally eased up, and he raised his glass with a smile, "Just as I thought~~ With my judgment, how could the Bright Pearl whom I hold in such high regard lack quality or virtue? Fine, let’s hear what you’ve got in mind."

"Ruolan, go and release the water from the Broken Dragon Slot slowly so that Big Brother Long can drink without worry," Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, then turned and instructed Liu Ruolan.

"Husband..." Liu Ruolan’s eyes glanced at Long Wuji for a moment, seemingly still somewhat apprehensive.

"It’s alright, Big Brother Long is a hero who keeps his word," Wang Shouzhe heartily complimented Long Wuji, "Since he said he would admit defeat and not interfere, he will certainly not go back on his word."

"Yes, husband."

Liu Ruolan bowed slightly and gracefully departed.

Before long, rumbling sounds could be heard from within Broken Dragon Gorge. The Broken Dragon Slot opened a gap, and the long-accumulated water gushed out through the breach, a magnificent spectacle to behold.

However, this controlled release of water did not bring a significant impact downstream, let alone the possibility of sweeping away the fleet. The stored water would be gradually released over several days.

"Shouzhe, your ’Broken Dragon Slot’ is truly remarkable, ingeniously designed, a piece of heaven’s craftsmanship," an emotionally relaxed Long Wuji began to shower praise on the Broken Dragon Slot, "Only an Immortal Dynasty like the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty would use such ingenious methods to manage the great rivers."

The Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty, a name Wang Shouzhe had heard countless times. It was said to have a long history and formidable strength, with a territory many times larger than that of the Great Qian Land, possessing all manner of inconceivable, advanced techniques beyond the imagination of the people of Da Qian.

Presently, his grandniece Wang Licui was traveling in the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty with her Master.

Having heard so much about it, even Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but feel a certain longing for that legendary Immortal Dynasty. But as the head of his clan, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to spare the time to visit the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty and see it for himself anytime soon.

"Shouzhe’s Ping’an Town is quite reminiscent of the early stages of towns under the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty," Long Wuji admired endlessly, drinking his wine, "The port is well-organized, and even the river embankments are built so magnificently broad and powerful. The people live in wealth and enjoyment, content and happy. Just thinking about it is admirable."

Having kept an eye on Wang Shouzhe for so long, Long Wuji was certainly not ignorant about Ping’an Town.

While Ping’an Town’s prosperity couldn’t be compared to that of the County Town or Shangjing City, among the towns and villages around Guard City, it may not be entirely unique, yet it was nonetheless one of the very few.

What’s more important was that all this was achieved by Wang Shouzhe in just seventy years. Meanwhile, the other wealthy and powerful places had mostly gone through a thousand, or even several thousand years of accumulation; there was no comparison at all.

That was why Long Wuji had such appreciation and even admiration for Wang Shouzhe.

"It’s just a pity, Shouzhe, that you and I are ultimately not on the same path," Long Wuji said regretfully, his expression somewhat disheartened.

"Actually, when Big Brother Long extended the invitation, I did give it some thought," Wang Shouzhe clinked glasses with him and took a sip, "I even spent a great deal of time and energy studying the various merits and achievements of Kang Commandery Prince, as well as his personality."

"And what did you find?" Long Wuji asked with increased interest.

"I found that Kang Commandery Prince has a harmonious family, treats Zhao Yijing, the legitimate daughter from the Zhao Clan, with mutual respect after marriage.

He is also very strict in educating his descendants, has quite a royal demeanor, and there’s never been word of his descendants stirring up any kind of scandal," Wang Shouzhe pondered, "Moreover, he is adept at forming alliances wide and far with various Prominent Families, Princes, Commandery Princes, etc., and has garnered tremendous support. Even in the Sacred Land, he’s well-spoken of."

"It is said that he recently joined forces with Gong Yang Ce to the outer realms’ battlefield. With their skills and strategies, if all goes well, they are bound to achieve considerable Merit Points and gradually earn the respect of the Military System."

"Overall, Kang Commandery Prince is a rather remarkable Quasi Emperor’s Son with a sense of ambition; many aspects of him are beyond reproach."

Long Wuji’s unease grew as he listened, and he couldn’t help but frown, "If he’s that outstanding, does he not deserve your allegiance? Shouzhe, are you really willing to throw away a bright future for the sake of a great-grandson’s marriage contract?"

"But his excellence is all in service of becoming the Great Emperor. It feels to me as if he has been preparing for the position of the Great Emperor since he was a child," Wang Shouzhe sighed, a solemn look crossing his eyes, "Of course, that’s not necessarily a mistake.

After all, considering Kang Commandery Prince’s identity, Bloodline Talent, age, and so on, he fits the conditions of a Quasi Emperor’s Son perfectly. Your Prince De Xin’s line has naturally instilled great hopes in him from a young age."

"Indeed," Long Wuji nodded frequently when he heard Wang Shouzhe’s analysis, "Our Old Ancestor De Xin has always placed great importance on Wu Chengsi since he was a child, educating him according to the standards of an Emperor’s son and strictly demanding him to make no mistakes.

Even for marital matters, we were extremely selective, waiting for a daughter of the Zhao Clan’s main line, leading to marriage only after his forties. And he himself is very hard-working, satisfying both the Old Ancestor De Xin and other Princes."

"That’s exactly it," Wang Shouzhe’s mouth revealed a knowing smile, "Bearing high expectations from a young age, carrying the mission of competing for the position of the Great Emperor, shouldering a heavy burden, every step taken was to get closer to the throne. Time and again, he provided satisfying results to his elders, growing amidst various praises."
