Chapter 1690: Chapter 122: Scapegoat! King of the North_2

Years ago, the Wang family obtained the second batch of advanced Bridal Clothes Blood Gu from the Blood Venerate’s lair, among which were fourteen Advanced Wedding Blood Gu Essence Edition. Wang Anxin acquired one and thus elevated his bloodline to the level of an Unparalleled Heavenly Child.

Not long ago, he had successfully broken through to the Purple Abode Realm, marking his ascent into the family’s second hierarchy.

“Thirteenth Grandfather,” Wang Fugui said, sweating, “You are a family elder. Wouldn’t it be an exaggeration to say such things about Rich?”

“No worries, no worries. When I was young, the person I admired most was your grandfather. But now, it seems your grandfather is not as good as you,” Wang Anxin chuckled, “Our family has such an important mission. Great Grandfather entrusted it to you instead of Seventh Brother. Seventh Brother should really reflect deeply on this.”

“I suspect Ancestor Grandfather is deliberately retaliating. He just doesn’t want me to return to the Clan School,” Wang Fugui said helplessly, “I merely requested support from the family, asking for some talented individuals to assist the Princess Mansion in Chuan Nan. To my surprise, the people were sent to me, but in turn, I was handed an immense mission.”

“What’s so fun about the Clan School?” Wang Anxin laughed, “Staying in the Immortal Dynasty and cultivating feelings with Mengyu is much better, isn’t it? If it truly doesn’t work, you can dispatch some teachers from the Clan School to give you lessons.”

“Thirteenth Grandfather, attending the Clan School isn’t just about learning knowledge…” Wang Fugui sighed, “Attending the Clan School is a rare experience for me, a valuable life experience. The joy and achievements, the heartaches and setbacks within it, are beautiful memories of a lifetime…”

Before he could finish, Wang Anxin couldn’t bear listening anymore and mockingly said, “Wait! You do indeed have joy and achievement, but could you kindly remove ‘heartache and setbacks’ from your words…”

Who didn’t know, in the family, there are two academic prodigies, one being his son Wang Ningxi, and the other his grandson Wang Fugui. Sandwiched between them, the pressure was truly immense.

Back then, he didn’t perform poorly in the Clan School either, but compared to these two, he was simply a scholarly disaster.

“Well then, since it’s Ancestor Grandfather’s command, I shall delay my return by another two years,” Wang Fugui put away the letter and said helplessly, “After I organize these Wang family talents that came with you, I shall immediately return to the King of the North’s Mansion together with Mengyu.”

“You should understand Ancestor Grandfather’s intentions,” Wang Anxin’s face turned serious, “This matter is of critical importance. A considerable portion of our Wang family’s accumulated resources has been invested in the militia corps. Failure would be devastatingly damaging, hence the plan must have no mistakes.”

“You can rest assured, Thirteenth Grandfather. I have fully understood Ancestor Grandfather’s intentions. I will not fail in fulfilling the task entrusted by Ancestor Grandfather.”

Now a graceful young man, Wang Fugui raised his hand in respect, solemnly pledging his promise.

A few days later.

Princess Yun Mengyu of Chuan Nan suddenly threw a tantrum, claiming she’s had enough of staying in this desolate place, and after causing quite a commotion, insisted on returning to the King of the North’s Mansion.

Wang Fugui helplessly escorted her back to the King of the North’s Mansion.

After returning to the Immortal City with the Yao family’s Cloudy Flying Boat, the news of Yun Mengyu’s princess tantrum spread like wildfire throughout all the prominent families of Immortal City and even reached the Immortal Emperor’s ears.

Although the Immortal Emperor did not issue a formal rebuke to Yun Mengyu, an eunuch transmitted one of the Immortal Emperor’s evaluations, “That child Mengyu is ultimately still too young; she needs to grow and temper herself more.”

This inadvertently released remark naturally cooled the previously soaring hype surrounding Princess Yun Mengyu, causing many families who were planning to invest in advance to retreat into an observational mode.

Meanwhile, with Yun Mengyu and Wang Fugui’s return, a group of related individuals gathered solemnly in the secret chamber of the inner courtyard of the King of the North’s Mansion.

“Li Xuan,” Imperial Consort Jiang Yiyi cried with tearful eyes, “The Princess of Moyan Kingdom’s River Luo is considered a princess, but am not I as the Bright Pearl Princess of Big Liang as much a princess?”

Someone as talented in bloodline and as a Great Heavenly Proud like Jiang Yiyi typically held the title “Commandery Princess” prior to marriage. Only after reaching the Divine Power Territory in cultivation would they be conferred as a princess, granting a formal title like [some country’s certain princess].

Yet, because Jiang Yiyi is marrying into the King of the North’s Mansion of the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty, her cultivation has yet to ascend to the Divine Power Territory, but she will be conferred a princess title in advance before marriage ensuring her status is elevated.

The River Luo Princess married to the Red Moon Family of Chao in Moyan Country, although older than Liang Yiyi in age, is otherwise similar in various aspects to Liang Yiyi.

“Wife, don’t cry, don’t cry. I will think of a solution for this matter,” Crown Prince Yun Lixuan comforted his wife, visibly distressed, “At worst, I shall personally lead the North Region Army to support our Liang Country.”

“Absurd!” The King of the North slammed the table and roared, “The North Region Army is the formal military of the Immortal Dynasty, responsible for guarding the northern borders and routine duty rotations at extraterrestrial battlefields; how could they be casually dispatched for Liang Country’s battles?”

“Old Ancestor,” Yun Lixuan defied stonily for once, “Why is it that the Chao Clan of the Demonic Dynasty can secretly send troops to assist Moyan, but our Yun family cannot? If this time we at the King of the North’s Mansion truly stand by idly, not mentioning how the Demonic Dynasty shall certainly belittle us, how shall I and Yiyi live afterward?”
