Wang Ke continued to ponder as he ambled onward.
“Tong An’an? How come? Didn’t I hand Tong An’an to Mo Sanshan? How did he appear here again? Could it be a twin brother of his? Impossible! I’ve never heard anything about him having a twin brother! Mo Sanshan releasing him again is the only possibility!” Wang Ke muttered to himself with a grim look.
Why did Mo Sanshan release Tong An’an? Wang Ke had a worried look on his face.
“Mo Sanshan, that old bast*rd is acting suspicious, always ‘carelessly’ letting Tong An’an escape… Tong An’an escaped from our sect last time, and now, he let Tong An’an off again? He must have done it deliberately! The old bast*rd! Fortunately, I was prepared. Ptooey! Now I know your true colors, you son of a b*tch. You have ties with the demonic sect!” Wang Ke said.
Mo Sanshan is indeed acting suspicious… But how did Tong An’an appear here?
“I’m sure Tong An’an is here to kill me and take back the Lightning Whips! Humph, dream on! No one can grab what’s already in my pocket!” Wang Ke muttered to himself contemptuously.
“But what is Zhang Li’er doing here? And masked of all things? Didn’t she leave with her juniors already?” Wang Ke was curious.
Wang Ke reached a conclusion after a moment of silence.
“I get it now. It’s all clear! Although I settled our grudge by saving Zhang Li’er and her juniors, she’s still unwilling to give me up. She even tried following me as I went to pee, but then she met with Tong An’an who was coming to kill me; that’s why they started fighting. Is that the reason? Sigh! Why be this persistent! Us together is not meant to be!” Wang Ke sighed helplessly.
Soon after, he reached the exit connecting with the Great General’s Residence.
“Clan Lord?’ His Big cousin-brother waited by the door.
How come the Clan Lord rushed over with two people in tow?
“Where are the Golden Crow Sect disciples? Quick! Call them so they can take Zhang Li’er away!” said Wang Ke.
“The Golden Crow disciples? They left already!” the other explained.
Wang Ke: “…………………..!”
Damn, were they in such a rush to escape?Leaving Zhang Li’er behind?
“They told me they had to take Zhang Shenxu back in a rush to heal him. They were also badly injured, so they could no longer stay in the capital. That’s why they left in a hurry… Oh, and also to search for their injured cranes. They also wanted me to relay a message to you!” Big cousin-brother said.
“To me?” Wang Ke was surprised.
The Big cousin-brother relayed the message, “Yeah, a female disciple said, ‘I know that our senior sister went to find you. She could not shake off her feelings for you, Wang Ke; that’s why we won’t be waiting for her. Wang Ke, let me tell you… Although our senior can be quite violent at times, that is only a pretense. She appears cold on the outside, but she’s filled with passion and tenderness. So, don’t take her words too seriously! We have to go, please take good care of her! She’s our sect’s treasure; even our Sect Lord dotes on her. I promise you the entire Golden Crow Sect will come for your head if you dare let her down and break her heart! Humph!’”
“What… the hell?” Wang Ke looked shocked.
You guys left Zhang Li’er to me, asking that I take care of her?Freaking hell!We are in no way related!Uhh, no. She’s the one who has the hots for me! I have nothing to do with this!
What do you mean letting her down?Nonsense!It’s all of you imagining things! I was clear from the very beginning!Your whole sect will come after me if she’s heartbroken?How am I responsible for this?
Wang Ke looked extremely annoyed. What is all this!
“Clan Lord, is Zhang Li’er your…?” his Big cousin-brother asked curiously.
Wang Ke looked at the rare beauty he was carrying while feeling troubled. I probably would have reluctantly accepted her advances if I hadn’t met Princess Youyue first. But, what should I do now?Will my life go down the drain just because of her?
“It’s none of your business. Call our little cousin-sister here and take care of Zhang Li’er!” said Wang Ke, feeling irritated.
“Understood!” His Big cousin-brother reacted immediately, and Little cousin-sister arrived shortly after.
“Clan Lord?’ the latter said.
“Hmm, you’ll be responsible for taking care of Zhang Li’er. Remember, she might wake up at any moment; once she does and asks where I am, just tell her you don’t know. None of you knows! She might just give up and return to her sect if she doesn’t find me!” Wang Ke said.
“Understood!” The Little cousin-sister carried Zhang Li’er away.
Wang Ke turned around to see about dealing with Tong An’an.
His head ached as he looked at the demon cultivator.
“Clan Lord, you showed me the portrait before; this is Tong An’an, right? A Golden Core warrior? Very dangerous?” Big cousin-brother looked at Tong An’an with a serious look.
“Dangerous? Nope. He’s not dangerous!” Wang Ke shook his head.
“Not dangerous? But he’s a Golden Core cultivator! And one that has reached an advanced tier!” the other felt surprised.
Wang Ke shook his head again. “His nickname is ‘Effortless’!”
“Effortless?” His Big cousin-brother was confused.
“Yeah, he’s already fallen into my grasp so many times! It’s effortless to capture him; that’s why I call him ‘Effortless’!” Wang Ke explained.
“Uhh? It’s effortless to capture him?” Big cousin-brother was a bit stunned.
“Yeah, he’s not threatening at all! I’m just thinking about what to do with him,” Wang Ke said with a frown.
“Kill him, of course! Isn’t he a demon? You’ll earn virtue merit if you kill him!” said Big cousin-brother.
“Kill him? But that doesn’t make the most of his value!” Wang Ke was still contemplating with a frown.
“Oh?”
“I would have done so if he were an ordinary demon, but he’s quite the influential figure in the demons’ circle and is now on the Demonic Sovereign’s wanted list. I’m thinking about how to maximize the value I can get out of him!” Wang Ke explained with a frown.
“He’s wanted by the Demon Sovereign? Why not hand him to the Demon Sovereign?” Big cousin-brother asked curiously.
Wang Ke’s eyes glowed, “Yeah, why didn’t I think of that? Hahaha!”
“Clan Lord, I’m sure this isn’t difficult to imagine, don’t you think?” Big cousin-brother felt puzzled.
“Nope. I wasn’t talking about your suggestions; I was thinking about developing the God Wang Company’s business in the demonic sect. If… I can get the Demonic Sovereign to take part in the company’s Ribbon-cutting Ceremony… My business will flourish over there! This Tong An’an is a bargain, to think he can attract the Demon Sovereign’s attention so he can help me! Haha!” Wang Ke was overjoyed.
Big cousin-brother was stunned. “We can also sell insurance plans to the demonic sect?”
“That’s right! But don’t overthink; you need to focus on managing the Great Qing Empire well. I’ve built a good foundation for you and hired Innate Stage cultivators to lead the army; make good use of them and quickly reunify the empire. Don’t let problems take root!” Wang Ke reminded his subordinate.
“Understood!” his Big cousin-brother acknowledged respectfully.
After a few more indications, Wang Ke dragged the unconscious Tong An’an as she headed to the Royal Palace. Wang Ke was looking forward to using the latter to convince the Demon Sovereign.
Meanwhile—the battle inside the Royal Palace was over.
“Dao Lineage Words, Lin Bing Dou Zhe! Seal!” Zi Bufan shouted.
“Roar~~~~~~~~~~~!”
The ley line dragon roared before its spiritual body shrunk and went into Zhu Yan’s belly.
Zi Bufan and Zhu Hongyi did all they could to set a seal on his belly.
Zhu Yan was still unconscious. His shirt was torn off, and a gold dragon pattern appeared on his belly. It looked intimidating.
“Okay, good. The ley line is sealed!” Zhu Hongyi heaved a sigh of relief.
