Protect Our Chief

Chapter 1034 - 63: Autumn Wind Rises! The Great Emperor Misses Wang Shouzhe

"Uh..." An Ye scratched his head awkwardly, "Actually, those words aren’t mine; my great-grandfather said them. My great-grandfather is Wang Shouzhe, a descendant of Ancestor Chuanwu.""Cough cough~"

As a person and an Artifact Spirit started chatting away, Emperor Longchang felt a bit awkward listening from the side, especially when it turned into nonsense.

He interrupted, saying, "An Ye~~ let’s make a deal. You’re still young, holding onto a Dao Artifact might be too showy and unsafe. How about I keep it for you until you grow up..."

"An Ye, whatever you do, don’t believe him." The Seventh Sister of the Legion Banner hurriedly interrupted upon hearing this, "This rascal is clearly trying to go back on his word and keep me captive."

Saying this, she turned to Emperor Longchang and said, "Hey hey, I’m telling you, even if you kept me locked up, I wouldn’t help you at all."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Emperor Longchang’s old face blushed, "I’ve lived three or four thousand years, how could I deceive a twelve-year-old child? Besides, he’s our Imperial Family’s future son-in-law. But he’s still too young, it’s not possible for him to go to the battlefield, and having the Legion Banner is just a waste~~ the army and battlefield are the Legion Banner’s true place."

"It’s fine~~ I’m just tired now, and my inner wounds aren’t fully healed, so I temporarily don’t want to go to war. During this time, I can accompany An Ye as he grows up, and when he’s older, I’ll take him to the battlefield to fly and build our careers together..." The Seventh Sister of the Legion Banner replied calmly, clearly having planned everything long ago.

"This..."

Emperor Longchang couldn’t do anything about her.

A Legion Banner unwilling to cooperate, even as a Dao Artifact, would be ineffective on the battlefield. If he truly insisted on keeping her, she might end up being idle without contributing at all.

After all, she’s the Legion Banner of the Divine Martial Dynasty, and has little recognition for Daqian Kingdom.

Fortunately, she did acknowledge An Ye quite a bit, willing at least to accompany him to the battlefield.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Longchang reluctantly accepted the facts: "Forget it, forget it, let An Ye keep it. After all, the Seventh Sister has been gathering dust in the Divine Weapon Hall for a long time, without An Ye inviting her, she would likely remain dormant."

"Oh, this rascal...well, this Great Emperor isn’t so bad, he has some of the stature and capacity a Great Emperor should have; Seventh Sister’s view of you has somewhat changed." Seventh Sister had initially thought Emperor Longchang would persist in arguing, anticipating how to handle him, yet found herself surprised by his quick concession.

Indeed, for an Emperor should have the capacity to accommodate others and demonstrate magnanimity. With such traits, the country can sustain long-term stability, and the noble families under his rule would be genuinely convinced.

But this is the sort of magnanimity expected of an Saint Emperor; she hadn’t expected this from the small-scale Daqian Kingdom’s Emperor. After all, this Daqian Kingdom’s Emperor is only at the Lingxu Realm.

At this moment, she found Emperor Longchang much more agreeable, even letting go a bit and saying: "Alright then, for normal situations, naturally don’t bother me. But if you encounter a formidable opponent you can’t handle, I can lead An Ye for a wave of support, provided you ensure An Ye’s safety."

"That sounds great. Anyways, An Ye doesn’t need to command, I can send experts to ensure his personal safety." Emperor Longchang’s heart was pleased, feeling this was a decent solution.

He didn’t mind Seventh Sister’s high-and-mighty, big-sister persona. After all, she was the Legion Banner of the Divine Martial Dynasty, with seasoned qualifications, naturally entitled to speak this way.

This resolved the issue, but Emperor Longchang, looking at Wang An Ye, still felt severely affected emotionally.

He, a Great Emperor, entered and exited the Divine Weapon Hall countless times, yet Sister Hei Bu treated him as invisible.

This little rascal Wang An Ye visited the Divine Weapon Hall once and managed to lure out a hidden Dao Artifact.

The disparity between people is indeed vast.

Most importantly, he still had to find ways to protect him, preventing harm from coming to him if people learned of this incident.

"Old Yao, I’m a bit tired, I’ll go rest first. Oh, arrange for Wang Family’s little ancestors to stay in the Immortal-Viewing Pavilion near the Imperial Garden, where the scenery is beautiful and Spiritual Qi is abundant, beneficial for kids their age. Additionally, ensure their daily necessities match those of Xue Ning, don’t let them be treated badly."

"Zhixing and Xue Ning should settle in too, to entertain these little guests on behalf of me."

After making these arrangements, Emperor Longchang hurriedly went to recuperate. Today’s events dealt him constant blows, staying any longer would surely decrease his lifespan by a few years.

By this time.

Emperor Longchang faintly regretted "inviting" those few youngsters into the Imperial Palace for reception. Yet as a Great Emperor, his words once spoken, could not be easily altered.

He could only hope Wang Shouzhe would come soon to take away those youngsters.

And also to quickly take away those five little wolf cubs...ah~ how unspeakable.

Those five little wolf cubs, bringing joy and healing while occasionally causing enormous psychological trauma, truly a bittersweet experience. Even now, they continue their mental battles...

"Awoo awoo~" Within the Great Emperor’s chamber, several little wolf cubs sensed and swiftly came, happily leaping and frolicking around him. Perceiving the Emperor’s foul mood, they swarmed over, performing various tricks.
