Protect Our Clan Leader

"That would work," Wang Shouzhe thought for a moment and then took out a Sky Mechanism Recording Disk. After activating it, he said, "Mr. Yusong, please feel free to say anything."

"What... should I talk about?" Jiang Yusong asked, his expression one of dismay.

"Talk about His Majesty's current rule, discuss the Kang Commandery Prince's character and behavior. Don't worry, just share some honest opinions; there's no need to hold back." Wang Shouzhe smiled, his demeanor as gentle as jade, elegant, and showing his "thoughtful consideration."

Jiang Yusong's face turned slightly dark.

Wasn't this the legendary test of loyalty?

A short while later, Jiang Yusong left Wang Shouzhe's courtyard, his face deathly pale.

The cold breeze blew, leaving his back feeling chilly. Looking back at Wang Shouzhe's courtyard, his eyes filled with a hint of fear.

No wonder when he mentioned Master Shouzhe to the Wang family's children, it scared them into crying on the spot, calling him the "Great Demon King."

At the time, he was somewhat puzzled; Master Shouzhe had always been as warm as the spring breeze, exceptionally caring toward the clan's children, even nurturing outstanding Sky Prides like Li Yao and Zong'an. How could he have earned the title "Great Demon King"?

But just now, he had finally understood what it meant to meet the "Great Demon King."

Those parts kept inside the Sky Mechanism Recording Disk as a test of loyalty, if heard by His Majesty, would surely lead to a gruesome execution and the decimation of his entire family.

If heard by the Kang Commandery Prince, he would unhesitatingly be ground into mincemeat.

"Well, having boarded Master Shouzhe's ship, I never intended to disembark," Jiang Yusong said, forcing a smile and shaking his head.

Now that the test of loyalty had been delivered, from here on out, he would just need to diligently fulfill his duties.

Thinking of the first task Master Shouzhe had assigned him, Jiang Yusong felt a tingling on his scalp. Master Shouzhe really did dare greatly.

While Jiang Yusong's thoughts drifted, a figure wearing a floral dress and carrying a beautiful bag—a Little Qinglong—majestically floated about a yard above the ground, passing him by.

As a genuine Azure Water Dragon, Wang Lilong had the pride that came with being a dragon. Anything that could be floated through, she would never crawl.

Tailing this Little Qinglong was a young boy who seemed listless, as if he'd already given up on life.

This boy was naturally Wang Anye.

Overseeing his Grand Aunt Lilong every day, Wang Anye felt his life had dimmed, and he was too weary at heart.

This Grand Aunt Lilong was even more troublesome than Wu Yiluo, that mischievous spirit.

"Is that... is that a dragon?" Jiang Yusong rubbed his eyes, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest.

Of course, he knew the common knowledge that any creature referred to as a "dragon" was at least Level Seven!

And only monsters or Spirit Beasts that reached Level Seven could transform their shape and size at will.

"What are you looking at? Haven't seen a dragon before? Keep staring, and I'll eat you, roar~"

Wang Lilong "displayed her ferocity," brandishing her claws at Jiang Yusong before continuing to float back to Master Shouzhe's courtyard arrogantly.

Wang Anye helplessly greeted the sweat-soaked Jiang Yusong, trying to calm him, "I'm sorry, sir. My grandma doesn't have any ill intentions; she just enjoys scaring people. You don't have to be afraid."

Then, he hurried after her with his short legs: "Grand Aunt Lilong, wait for me."

Moments later, the courtyard echoed with Wang Lilong's sweet, coquettish voice: "Daddy, I'm back from school, I want a hug~~"

"Were you well-behaved at the Clan School today, Long'er?"

"I was very good today, just ate two teachers and five classmates, teehee~"

"You little rascal, go on, your mother has prepared 'Red-Blood Eel and Mixed Nut Spirit Rice Soup' for you to rejuvenate and nourish your brain, specially waiting for you to come back from school, to replenish you~" Wang Shouzhe's voice was especially "affectionate."

"Daddy, I just remembered I promised to go to a classmate's house to do homework, see you!"

Before even finishing speaking, Jiang Yusong felt a streak of blue adorned with flowers flash past him, stirring up a series of breezes.

But before it had gotten far, that "lightning" flash was suddenly seized by Wang Li, a prominent lady of the Wang family—the figure of Liu Ruolan grabbing her back: "You girl, your academic performance has been suffering, and it's hard at the Clan School too, how can we not nourish your brain?"

"Oh, Anye is here too? What are you doing shrinking in the corner with your head bowed, Grandmother almost didn't see you. It's been a few days since you last visited Grandmother, perfect timing today, you're in luck, I made extra 'Red-Blood Eel and Mixed Nut Spirit Rice Soup.' You're also exhausted from studying daily, eat with Long'er."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt in Wang Anye's gloomy life.

His heart shattered, tears shamelessly trickling from the corners of his eyes, while his face still forced a sweet smile: "Ye'er loves the soup Grandmother makes the most."

"Then why are you crying?"

"These are tears of joy and excitement."

"Such a good boy... Grandmother loves you the most."

Amid the ongoing voices, Jiang Yusong mechanically moved his feet, walking further and further away.

His mind was still shocked that Master Shouzhe was raising a dragon as his daughter, yet another part of him was moved by that warm scene.

As the saying goes, the devil is in the details; Master Shouzhe and his wife were so patiently caring towards their children, and the children so adoring of them. Such a warm little family, truly enviable.

Worth following such masters and mistresses!
