When the Third Prince, Shentu Jingming, smelled the fragrance of the tea, he knew it was something special, and immediately approached with a smile, trying to get a share.
"Iâm talking with my familyâs child. What are you, an outsider, doing here making a fuss?"
Wang Longyanâs face instantly turned cold. She grabbed his collar with one hand and threw him out. Then, with a wave of her delicate hand, a vast Glacial Sha Mysterious Energy formed an isolating barrier, leaving only her and Wang Shouzhe to talk.
"Shouzhe, be honest, what exactly is your relationship with Junior Sister Green Fern?" Wang Longyan asked, sipping Immortal Tea and glaring at Wang Shouzhe. "Donât say I didnât warn you. You mustnât wrong Ruolan, as she has sacrificed and contributed so much for our family."
"Old Ancestor, Iâm innocent~" Wang Shouzhe quickly defended himself, "Junior Sister Green Fern and I are innocent, with absolutely no private affection. I will never fail Ruolan."
In front of Ancestor Longyan, no matter how capable Wang Shouzhe was, he was still a junior, a child. Just like how Wang Fugui, who might be stirring up trouble outside, would still listen obediently when he returned home and faced Wang Shouzhe.
"Junior Sister Green Fern is the reincarnation of the Demonic Plant Honored One, which means her future potential is immense, possibly achieving the True Immortal Realm. But this also makes me a little worried," Ancestor Longyan said, frowning and looking conflicted, "After all, the Demonic Plant Honored One is one of the ten most wanted in the Divine Dynasty. If she recovers her memories and goes berserk, what should we do?"
Itâs known that the Demonic Plant Honored One, although not a true Demonic Cultivator or a bloodthirsty character like some other wanted figures, still had a notorious name in history, stirring up numerous Forbidden Techniques and extreme research results. Otherwise, she wouldnât have become a wanted criminal.
"Old Ancestor, I actually trust Junior Sister Green Fern quite a bit. Her nature is pure, but she just lacks the common ethical standards, always focused on conducting more extreme research," Wang Shouzhe pondered, "Rest assured, Iâll keep an eye on her and wonât let her repeat past mistakes. But that Third Prince... Old Ancestor, should we take this opportunity to eliminate him? So he doesnât keep pestering you or have the potential to expose Junior Sisterâs identity."
"This..." Ancestor Longyan hesitated for a moment and then shook her head, "Shentu Jingming may be a Demon Dynasty Prince, but his nature isnât evil. Besides, the Demon Emperor seems to dislike him but actually spoils him quite a bit. Should anything happen to him, thereâs no telling if the Demon Emperor might go mad and do something drastic."
"The secret of Junior Sister Green Fern being the reincarnation of the Demonic Plant Honored One, I will personally warn Shentu Jingming and make him swear not to reveal it. Rest assured, although heâs a little reckless, he values loyalty and will keep his promise."
"Then letâs do as the Old Ancestor suggests," Wang Shouzhe nodded, no longer dwelling on the matter.
After exchanging a few more words with Ancestor Longyan and finishing a pot of tea, he then allowed her to lift the Glacial Sha barrier.
Seeing this, the Third Prince, Shentu Jingming, who had left earlier, came over again eagerly, "Ruobing, when you threw me out earlier, I accidentally picked up a Spiritual Medicine. This is your Opportunity, you must accept it."
As he spoke, he handed Ancestor Longyan a Spiritual Medicine with at least thousands of years of cultivation.
At the same time, his eyes glanced at the leftover tea dregs from Ancestor Longyanâs drink, and using his God Sense, he attempted to covertly take them.
"Shentu Jingming, what are you doing?" Ancestor Longyan furrowed her brow, her expression hard to describe.
"This..." The Third Prince, caught stealing, was a bit embarrassed, "Arenât I practicing thriftiness? I thought Ruobingâs leftover tea could still be used for making tea porridge or something..."
Ancestor Longyanâs face turned dark.
She snatched the tea dregs back, and then from the two qian of Immortal Tea given by Shouzhe, she split some and threw it to the Third Prince, "Take it, and donât do such shameless things again."
"Is this for me?" The Third Prince was astonished and flattered.
"If you donât want it, give it back to me!" Ancestor Longyan glared at him with disdain.
"I want it, I want it!" The Third Prince quickly tucked the Immortal Tea carefully into his clothes and pressed his chest, his face brimming with happiness. "As the saying goes, âSincerity can cut through gold and stoneâ. I knew my persistence would pay off, and look, Iâve received Ruobingâs gift."
"Come over here, I have something to tell you."
Ancestor Longyan called him aside, gave him a stern warning, and then cautioned, "If you canât keep this matter a secret, donât blame me for being ruthless."
"Donât worry, Ruobing." The Third Prince patted his chest, making a loud noise, "This matter will go to my grave with me, not even my parents, the Demon Emperor, will know. As for Old Zhuo, Iâll warn him too. If he dares leak anything, hehe~~ this Princeâs wrath is not something simple."
As he spoke, he glanced slyly at Old Zhuo.
Old Zhuo felt his heart seize, secretly smiling wryly.
The Third Prince was thoroughly enchanted by Wang Ruobing.
But then again, Wang Ruobing was indeed outstanding, with few in her generation able to match her. As for this matter, he could only play dumb, pretending to know nothing.
Otherwise, if the naive Third Prince truly unleashed his anger, it might cause a significant disaster.
