Protect Our Chief-Chapter 606 - 54: Heaven-Reaching River! Liyao’s Elegance_3
On the surface, his posture appeared relaxed and leisurely, as if he were taking a casual stroll. However, after he and Jiaang Yusong passed by, the Celestial River behind them shattered as if it had breached its embankment.
The river water gushed down with a clattering sound, instantly resembling a torrential downpour on the river’s surface.
The originally rapidly dropping water level began to slowly rise again.
Seeing this, the crowd, who had just been stupefied by the "Great Divine Techniques," once again displayed expressions of shock.
The Purple Mansion Realm truly lives up to its reputation; its power is indeed not to be underestimated!
Long Wuji was so formidable and forceful that even Wang Liyao’s expression became extremely grave.
She had only interacted with Long Wuji briefly, yet she had already realized that he was different from those Purple Mansion Ascendants at the Academy.
The Academy’s Ascendants valued rules and image, and most of their conduct fell within the boundaries of rules. But Long Wuji, however, seemed somewhat unpredictable, with a proud and flamboyant nature, making it difficult to anticipate his final decisions.
If he ultimately decided to become an enemy of the Wang Family, it would indeed be tricky to handle.
"Elder Long, oh Elder Long, I hope you act rationally and don’t harm my father," Wang Liyao whispered, a stern look flashing in her clear and bright star eyes, "otherwise, Liyao may go to any lengths... to annihilate your Jiaolong Gang."
At the same time.
Broken Dragon Gorge.
Towering perilous peaks stood by the riverside, with jagged rocks that looked like a grimacing stone sculpture, day after day, year after year, overlooking the Anjiang River flowing beneath.
Here at Broken Dragon Gorge, the width of the Anjiang waters suddenly narrowed, and using the gorge as a dividing line, the originally less gentle water flow became even more turbulent and surging, with the sound of waves never ceasing all year.
But now, on these usually rarely visited dangerous peaks, a stone pavilion had appeared.
This pavilion was built entirely of gray-white foreign cement, with a regular shape and a design that was much more spacious than conventional pavilions.
If it weren’t truly open on all sides, one might mistake it for a hall.
Inside the pavilion was a stone table, upon which various bowls and plates of fruits had already been placed, with the spirit wine warmed. A red copper incense burner was set in the center of the stone table, emitting spirals of fragrant smoke.
These items were clearly carefully prepared, with everything from the vessels holding the food to the spirit fruits in the dishes being exquisitely refined.
Wang Shouzhe sat by this stone table.
Today, his attire was very formal. He wore a headpiece, jade belt, sash, and accessories without missing anything, even using spiritual silkworm silk, which he seldom wore, for his clothes.
It’s well known that he usually dresses carelessly, sometimes not even bothering to wear a headpiece, let alone a jade belt or sash.
However, after such preparation, the effect was quite impressive.
His features were already outstanding, and his presence extraordinary. Now, meticulously dressed, as he sat there, he appeared truly elegant and dignified, with wide sleeves fluttering, fully displaying the noble family charm.
At his feet lay a small fox.
The little fox’s fluffy tail curved into an arc, wrapping around Wang Shouzhe’s ankle, its belly rising and falling as it slept soundly.
Behind Wang Shouzhe stood two men.
The man on the left was large and muscular, with thick limbs and clad in heavy armor, standing there like an iron tower, exuding an imposing evil qi.
But upon closer inspection, one would find that the "man’s" face had a subtle metallic sheen, revealing that it wasn’t a real human but an almost lifelike human-shaped puppet.
This was a Celestial Human Realm Puppet, discovered as a broken puppet in the relics of Gongye Zi in the Qinglian Fire Valley.
Over the past year, Wang Shouzhe had specifically hired artifact refiners from the Celestial Workshop, spending a huge sum to repair it.
Despite the hefty cost, the expenditure was worthwhile.
With this puppet, the Wang Family effectively gained a second Celestial Human Realm powerful being, providing close protection to Wang Shouzhe and significantly enhancing his personal combat strength.
Beside the celestial human puppet stood a gentle and refined young man.
This young man was naturally Wang Shouzhe’s eldest son, Wang Zong’an.
A short while ago, a letter from Wang Shouzhe summoned Wang Liyao and him back from the Academy, all for today’s event.
A year’s life in the Academy brought significant changes to Zong’an as well.
The most notable change was that his previously somewhat withdrawn and solitary demeanor had become much more cheerful. He not only spoke more but also exuded a more gentle and calm presence, increasingly aligning with Wang Shouzhe’s demeanor.
It was clear that his mindset had undergone considerable transformation over the year.
The two of them and the puppet quietly stayed in the pavilion.
Wang Shouzhe was composed and unflustered, as if he were merely on an outing.
This made Wang Zong’an admire him immensely; father indeed was father, calm and collected in the face of major events.
