Protect Our Chief-Chapter 635 - 65: Feifei! You Can’t Beat Her_2

No wonder.

With Liyao as the bond, both sides effectively share long-term interests, rather than just familial ties.

As their relationship grew closer, Wang Zonghao spoke more casually: "By the way~ Fourth Uncle Shouzhe, there’s one thing I need to ask you about."

"Go ahead." Wang Shouzhe nodded at him.

"It’s like this." Wang Zonghao, with a slightly serious expression, asked, "Fourth Uncle Shouzhe, what is the relationship between the Changning Wang Family and the Southern Desert Mo Family?"

"Oh?" Wang Shouzhe raised an eyebrow, seemingly understanding something, "You’re asking if our two families have any deep interest exchanges, right? Earlier, it seemed like the Mo Family was trying to stir up trouble between the Longzuo Qian Family and the Southern Desert Wang Family, intending to create a rift. Does the Mo Family have some friction with our Wang Family?"

Hearing Wang Shouzhe say "our Wang Family," Wang Zonghao smiled knowingly, saying frankly: "It’s just some interest conflict. I suppose Fourth Uncle knows that the Southern Desert Mo Family is a nouveau riche family from mining, who hurriedly moved their entire clan to the County City without even washing off the stench of their industry, currying favor with this one and pleasing that one, trying to gain footing in the city~"

"But honestly, mining is indeed quite profitable. Therefore, our Wang Family and the Huangfu Family together moved into the territories around the Mo Family, discovered some mining areas belonging to small clans, and signed contracts to cooperate in mining with those small clans."

"Where there’s interest, there’s dispute. The Mo Family believes the Wang and Huangfu families are teaming up to suppress their living space, oppressing and bullying an emerging noble family. These years, they’ve been spreading rumors everywhere and currying favor with outer county Purple Mansion families."

"If Fourth Uncle indeed has a close relationship with that Mo Family, I would naturally give you face." Wang Zonghao spoke frankly, "If it’s just a passing acquaintance... haha, then forget it."

Wang Shouzhe understood.

This was the Southern Desert Wang Family again showing goodwill to him, intending to deal with the Mo Family, yet wanting to hear Wang Shouzhe’s opinion first, showing respect to the Changning Wang Family.

Wang Zonghao, being nurtured as the head of the direct lineage, indeed handled matters thoroughly, especially when he intentionally wanted to befriend you—it’s like a breath of fresh spring air.

However, how could he have any relationship with the Mo Family, let alone endorse them?

Wang Shouzhe smiled calmly, sincerely saying: "The Mo Family holds no significant interest relations with my Changning Wang Family, Patriarch Zonghao need not consider my thoughts, feel free to proceed."

"Since that’s the case, Zonghao understands."

Wang Zonghao’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had made a decision.

...

Meanwhile.

In a private room of a tastefully appointed tavern in the Southern Desert County City, two young women sat facing each other.

On the table between them were two pots of strong liquor and some smokeless charred and roasted meat skewers, their spicy fragrance wafting through the air, whetting the appetite.

Sitting on the left side of the table was a young woman dressed in fiery red, her appearance exuding a heroic spirit, much like a female hero.

This young woman was none other than the young celestial pride of the Southern Desert Huangfu Family—Huangfu Feifei.

Sitting on the right side of the table was a woman dressed in an ice-blue long dress.

A beautifully crafted spiritual artifact level treasure sword hung diagonally at her waist, her long hair reaching her waist, exuding a refined aura, though her delicate pretty face seemed clouded by an unshakable gloom.

"Waoqiu." Huangfu Feifei raised her glass to her, "You’ve been gloomy all day, not saying anything when I ask you why. Do you still consider me a friend? I even thought it was that second-generation scourge from the Wang Family bullying you, so I went and beat him up."

It turns out, the woman in the ice-blue long dress was actually Mo Wanqiu.

"Feifei, it’s some personal matters, nothing to do with that Wang Shihai guy." Mo Waoqiu shook her head, "You really don’t need to worry about it."

"You’re my friend, your business is my business. Who doesn’t know I, Huangfu Feifei, am always faithful!" Huangfu Feifei’s eyes lit up suddenly, with a realization, "Could it be someone in Longzuo Academy bullied you? No wonder you don’t want me to intervene, fearing I can’t handle it?"

"Haha, last time fighting at the Southern Desert Academy wasn’t enjoyable enough. Well, I’m free anyway, let’s go to Longzuo Academy to play. While I’m at it..."

"No!" Mo Waoqiu hurriedly stopped her, "Don’t act rashly! You’re not her..."

"You mean to say I’m not her match?" Huangfu Feifei raised her eyebrows, full of disbelief, "Is that person male or female? How old?"

She was confident but understood the academy was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, masters aplenty; naturally, she couldn’t beat some older celestial prides.

"It’s a woman, only twenty years old..." Mo Waoqiu said helplessly.

"A twenty-year-old woman?" Huangfu Feifei sneered, "Then isn’t she three years younger than me? Waoqiu, do you really look down on me... thinking I can’t beat someone younger than I?"

"No... you misunderstood. This isn’t Lady Liyao’s fault; it’s all because Waoqiu’s talent is dull, not even qualifying to be her follower." Mo Waoqiu’s face drooped, her eyes dim, "Feifei, it’s really not about me looking down on you. Miss Liyao is a great celestial pride~~ I once saw her fight a Celestial Human Realm mid-stage elder; although she ultimately lost, she still wounded the elder. I was captivated by her aura that day and wanted to be her follower, but alas..."
