Protect Our Patriarch

Book 2: Chapter 95: Turn it around! Huangfu’s Clan

"Junior Brother Shouzhe." Fang You'an's face turned a bit dark, he coughed twice and said, "That's because you don't know much about this world, it's not that our master doesn't want to help. It's just that every Zifu-level person in Daqian carries a very important mission. A mere Blood Nest, we can handle it ourselves."

Wang Shouzhe ignored him and turned his hopeful eyes to Senior Sister Luwei: "Did our master reply?"

"Well......" Senior Sister Luwei, who was eating candied fruit, was caught off guard by his gaze. Her big eyes rolled a few times, and after swallowing the candied fruit with difficulty, she said innocently, "She replied, take a look."

With that, she took out a letter and handed it to Wang Shouzhe.

Wang Shouzhe opened it and saw only a few words: "Noted, Luwei has been dispatched to assist."

This...

The corner of Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched twice.

The invasion of the Yinsha Sect and the Blood Nest ruins caused by the terrorists of the destroyed Shenwu Dynasty, and this was all she replied? What's the use of just sending Senior Sister Luwei? Even if she doesn't come herself, it would be better to send a few more direct disciples.

This was really not taking the Yinsha Sect and the Blood Nest seriously.

Seeing Wang Shouzhe's disgusted face, Senior Sister Luwei immediately raised her hand and weakly defended, "I'm also very strong, okay?"

"How strong can we from Changchun Valley be?" Wang Shouzhe sighed and shook his head.

He had seen it before in Changchun Valley. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Being so despised, Senior Sister Luwei felt a bit wronged. The candied fruit was no longer sweet, and the meat was no longer fragrant.

"Senior Sister Luwei, don't mind him." Liu Ruolan comforted with a smile, "He is just too cautious about his life. Once it comes to life and death, even if there is a 90% chance, he won't take the risk."

"Madam, you are wrong." Wang Shouzhe criticized seriously, "When it comes to the survival of the family, or life-threatening matters, how can you do it with a 90% chance?"

"As the saying goes, prepare for the worst. Because we can't fully determine how many cards the enemy has, so even when a lion fights a rabbit, it should go all out. We, the Zifu Academy, as the righteous path in the world, have the duty to protect the people. When such evil spirits cause trouble, it's disappointing that they don't send two Zifu-level people to handle it."

Fang You'an, who was drinking tea on the side, almost spat out his tea.

Just a few troublemaking little bastards from the Yinsha Sect, what qualifications do they have to mobilize two Zifu-level people to fight?

Each Zifu-level person is a pillar of Daqian, carrying more important missions and tasks. If they have to personally deal with any Tom, Dick, or Harry, they would probably all die of exhaustion.

This Shouzhe's thinking is really quite unique.

"By the way, Senior Brother You'an. Did I get any replies to the letters I wrote to Master Xuan Yao, Lady Huo Die, the Master of Yuan Shui Lake, and the Vice Principal? As long as they come, we don't need any spoils of war." Wang Shouzhe still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that some senior was free to come and slay the demons and monsters.

Wang Shouzhe's previous impression of the Zifu-level people was not deep enough. It was not until he used a "Zifu Sword Talisman" himself that he realized how strong the Zifu realm really was.

Such an arrogant and domineering Huaye Ancestor, if he encounters a real Zifu-level person, it's questionable whether he can hold on for two rounds.

"Uh... Husband, you also wrote to those seniors?" Liu Ruolan also slapped her forehead, her pretty face blushing a bit, "It seems that we are not very familiar with those seniors, right?"

"The more we communicate, the more familiar we will become. I write to them every year, and I also prepare a generous gift for each of them." Wang Shouzhe said, "This relationship needs to be established and maintained. After all, several of our children are developing in the academy, and it's good to have more backing."

"That's true, but the Master of Yuan Shui Lake, you haven't met her yet, right? I'm afraid she won't pay attention to you." Liu Ruolan really admired her husband. He was so blatant and unashamed of currying favor, and he could actually do it.

"I just introduced our daughter Li Yao to her, and I plan to send her to be her direct disciple in the future." Wang Shouzhe said, "I can tell that she really likes Li Yao. In the past two years, she has always replied to Li Yao's letters and even sent her small gifts."

That's true... With Wang Li Yao's extraordinary talent of having a top-grade E-level Yuan Shui bloodline, the Master of Yuan Shui Lake must see her as a treasure.

However, with her character, she probably won't pay attention to her husband. It can be seen from the fact that she always replies to Li Yao's letters instead of his.

"Shouzhe, I also followed your intention and visited the seniors. They all replied." When Fang You'an mentioned this, he felt his face getting hot, as if he was begging, "Master Xuan Yao said that his Tianren-level disciples are too few and are busy with other things, so he gave you a sword talisman for protection."

"Sword talisman?" Wang Shouzhe's heart was overjoyed, "Speaking of which, Master Xuan Yao is really considerate, giving a sword talisman as soon as he makes a move."

He was deeply impressed by Master Xuan Yao's opening mountain sword qi, which should be very powerful."It's just an ordinary sword talisman, equivalent to a full-strength strike from a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator." Fang You'an took out a sword-shaped jade talisman, which was carved with runes and also bore the unique mark of the mysterious ascetic. He said with a strange expression, "You didn't think he would be generous enough to give a Purple Mansion sword talisman, did you? That thing would consume the cultivation of a Purple Mansion ascetic."

"This..." Wang Shouzhe took the sword-shaped jade talisman, feeling somewhat disappointed.

But thinking about it, the mysterious ascetic was not his father, so how could he possibly give a Purple Mansion sword talisman.

Even if it was his father, he wouldn't damage his own cultivation to refine a Purple Mansion sword talisman in his prime.

"This thing is good, if used well, it can be a small trump card." Wang Shouzhe said, "I have seen similar jade talismans at the auction in Duobao Pavilion, one of them costs tens of thousands of Top Gold. It seems that the gifts I've sent over the years have not been in vain."

"I didn't get to meet the owner of the Yuan Water Heavenly Lake, and she refused to see me. However, afterwards, she sent me a Yuan Water Spirit Shield talisman through her personal disciple." Fang You'an took out a light blue water spirit talisman and said, "After crushing this Yuan Water Spirit Shield talisman, it can form a Yuan Water Spirit Shield, which can withstand one or two attacks from a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator. It's somewhat useful at critical moments."

"Things that can save lives, the more the better." Wang Shouzhe also knew that this was already a good thing. It seems that writing to her every year did have some effect.

"Lady Phantom Butterfly did meet me and gave me an illusion jade talisman. Its function, naturally, is to cast an illusion. If the opponent's willpower and divine consciousness are not very strong, they will fall into the dream. If they can't get out, they are likely to die in the dream." Fang You'an said, "However, this thing is powerful, but it also has a big drawback, because any cultivator who can advance to the Heavenly Human Realm has strong willpower and divine consciousness."

"It can also be considered a trump card." Wang Shouzhe quite liked this illusion jade talisman. It was difficult to deal with Heavenly Human Realm with this, but if used well, it could have a surprising effect at critical moments.

Trump cards, the more the better. Even if he didn't use them, he could put them in the family treasure house as a foundation.

"As for the vice president, he has already taken his disciples to travel around the world, and I couldn't visit him." Fang You'an still felt a bit embarrassed when he thought of the things Wang Shouzhe had asked him to do. It was really humiliating for him, a proud disciple of the Xuanbing Palace, to go to the ascetics one by one to ask for things.

If it weren't for his good relationship with Shouzhe, he probably wouldn't have been able to bring himself to do it.

But having said that, he was surprised to get quite a few things. Those three jade talismans together were worth at least tens of thousands of Top Gold.

Wang Shouzhe played with the three jade talismans for a while, then put them in his storage ring and asked, "What about the 'Six Polar Sun Flame Bead' that I asked Brother You'an to buy?"

As soon as this was mentioned, a pained expression appeared on Fang You'an's face: "The 'Six Polar Sun Flame Bead' is indeed quite effective against Yinsha Sect cultivators. But if you exchange it with the academy's credits, it's worth about 200,000 Top Gold. This kind of one-time consumable is almost as expensive as a magic weapon. I didn't have enough credits, so I had to ask several junior brothers to help me get it."

As he spoke, Fang You'an took out the "Six Polar Sun Flame Bead" and handed it to Wang Shouzhe.

It was about the size of a fist, and its whole body was red as fire. Even though its power was sealed inside the bead, one could still feel the vast and pure flame energy contained within.

"I'll give you 250,000 Top Gold for this."

Wang Shouzhe took the Six Polar Sun Flame Bead, then directly took out a stack of gold tickets and handed them to Fang You'an. Among them, two of the gold tickets were made of purple paper.

This kind of purple gold ticket was made from a spiritual material called Purple Blood Dragon Spirit Wood, which was processed into paper through a special method. It was extremely durable, fireproof and waterproof, and could be stored for thousands of years without decaying.

Therefore, in Daqian's "National Bank", it was used as large-denomination banknote paper, and each one could be exchanged for 100,000 Top Gold!

Even a ninth-grade family with poor economic conditions might not be able to touch a purple gold ticket in their lifetime.

"This..."

Even Fang You'an, a genius with a good family background, was shocked by Wang Shouzhe's generosity. In the academy, Top Gold could be exchanged for credits from other students.

In other words, he made a profit of 50,000 Top Gold by buying a Six Polar Sun Flame Bead for Shouzhe this time.

The pain of running out of credits disappeared in an instant, and Fang You'an's gaze at Wang Shouzhe became a bit hotter: "Junior Brother Shouzhe, if you want to exchange anything in the academy in the future, just tell me."

He was a genius aiming to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm. Even with the support and subsidies from his family, plus the resources he earned from taking on academy tasks, it all boiled down to two words - not enough!

"Junior Brother Shouzhe, isn't it too extravagant for you to use this to hit people?" Even the rich lady, Little Sister Green Wei, was a bit surprised, "Even if the opponent is a high-level Heavenly Human Realm, Brother You'an and I can handle it together."

"Under normal circumstances, if you use this treasure to hit someone, it is indeed a bit extravagant." Wang Shouzhe put away the Six Polar Sun Flame Bead and said calmly, "However, if someone else buys it to hit someone, it's not considered extravagant.""People buy it just to smash it?" Little Sister Luowei was surprised, "There are such fools in this world?"

"Little Sister, you don't know the whole story." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "As the saying goes, 'one is often unaware when they are in the game'. If someone is willing to use this thing to smash others, they must have a bigger plan. We just need to sit back and watch the show~"

……

Several days later.

In the Zhe Mei Garden, Huangfu Jin Huan met with Lady Ji again.

He looked at the Six-Pole Sun Flame Bead that Lady Ji took out, his eyes flickering, showing a bit of heartache, but also as if he was expecting something.

"Master Jin Huan." Lady Ji said lightly, "It's not that I'm stingy, but my brother Mingyu had to exchange a lot of academic credits for this Six-Pole Sun Flame Bead in the academy. He spent about three hundred thousand Top Gold, and also owes a lot of favors."

"I won't take advantage of you, I want to get a benefit of one hundred thousand Top Gold for my brother Mingyu."

"Four hundred thousand Top Gold……"

Huangfu Jin Huan's eyes tightened, this price was obviously beyond his expectation.

"No, four hundred and fifty thousand Top Gold." Lady Ji said slightly displeased, "Favors are favors, but I've been running around for so long, and I still owe my brother Mingyu a favor. Doesn't Master Jin Huan have any gesture to show?"

Huangfu Jin Huan had also tried to exchange for the Six-Pole Sun Flame Bead, but the threshold for this exchange was extremely high, requiring not only a large number of academic credits, but also the status of a direct disciple.

Ji Mingyu has performed well in recent years and has been accepted as a direct disciple by Master Binglan, which has given him the qualification to exchange.

The direct disciples of the academy are all proud talents with noble status. If the Huangfu Clan were at its peak, they could still make some connections. But now, even in Changning Wei, the Huangfu Clan's words are not as effective as before, let alone the Purple Mansion Academy, where they have no connections.

"Lady, this price is indeed a bit high." Huangfu Jin Huan's face became somewhat awkward and embarrassed, he pleaded weakly, "You must be clear about the situation of my Huangfu Clan in recent years. I hope you can give some discounts."

"If you can't come up with the money for a while." Lady Ji said, "I'm willing to let you owe it for a while."

"Thank you, Lady Ji." Huangfu Jin Huan's face brightened, he thanked her repeatedly, "In the crisis of my Huangfu Clan, having Lady Ji's strong support, my Huangfu Jin Huan and my clan will always remember. If there is a chance, we will definitely repay."

"Don't rush to thank me." Lady Ji said with a sideways glance, "The Six-Pole Sun Flame Bead is valuable, you can owe it, but you have to mortgage something."

Huangfu Jin Huan's expression froze, he smiled bitterly, "Lady, my Huangfu Clan in recent years……"

"Spare me your excuses. With the reputation of your Huangfu Clan now at rock bottom, if you can borrow one hundred thousand Top Gold without a physical mortgage, I'll take your surname." Lady Ji's expression turned cold, she waved her fan and changed her face, "I consider the Huangfu Clan as friends, but it's a pity that the bright moon shines on the ditch. Huangfu Jin Huan, do you think I'm a fool? Servants, see the guest out!"

"We are willing to accept the mortgage." Huangfu Jin Huan quickly agreed, coaxing Lady Ji, "Lady, please calm down. I was just being reckless."

In recent years, the Huangfu Clan has already mortgaged many not-so-valuable fixed assets. What's left in their hands now are all family foundational industries like farms and ranches.

But that young master has been urging him several times, gradually losing patience, leaving Huangfu Jin Huan with not much time to plan. Such a great opportunity for the Huangfu Clan to rise again, cannot be missed.

As a result, the Huangfu Clan gritted their teeth and mortgaged several valuable farms on the outskirts of Changning Wei City.

These farms are all located in the core area of Changning Wei, and their value and price have always been high.

Farms close to the city are naturally much more expensive than those in remote rural areas, and they are always in demand but rarely on sale, very few people sell farm assets in the core area.

From this, it can be seen how deep the foundation of the Huangfu Clan is. It was only after being suppressed by the Wang's Clan and their allies that they gradually began to use the family's foundational assets.

And the four central farms that Huangfu Jin Huan mortgaged, their total value is almost equivalent to five hundred thousand Top Gold.

Now, with Huangfu Jin Huan's big signature, all four central farms were mortgaged to Lady Ji, stating that if four hundred and fifty thousand cash is not returned within three years, these four farms will belong to Lady Ji.

And as a return.

Huangfu Jin Huan finally got the Six-Pole Sun Flame Bead, one of his most relied upon trump cards for a turnaround.

The reason why it is one of them.

That's because after suffering many losses at the hands of Wang Shouzhe, Huangfu Jin Huan has also learned to be smart, as the saying goes, prepare for the worst, it's never wrong to prepare a few more trump cards.

This time, the Huangfu Clan must turn the tables!
