Chapter 1374: Chapter 44: Great Emperor’s Complete Defeat (Part 3)

“Originally quite low-key,” Zhao Mingzhi said, “but as the Struggle of the Imperial Sons comes to an end, and with the subsequent Struggle for the Saint Son, Saint Master Jiang is clearly not going to be around for much longer, maybe just a few hundred more years at most.”

“With the Jiang Family becoming active again, they naturally want to grab as much as they can while Saint Master Jiang is still around. Nowadays, in Celestial County, the Jiang Family has made quite a mess, causing resentment everywhere, but with Saint Master Jiang backing them, who dares to oppose them head-on?”

“All the noble families in Celestial County are speculating: has Saint Master Jiang reconsidered things in his old age? Is he preparing to lay a solid foundation for the Jiang Family to advance to become a Third-Grade Noble Family?”

Jiang Zhencang staggered, his old face turning black and white.

He never expected that following Longchang to eat melon would end up backfiring on him.

What does it mean to reconsider in his old age and prepare to collect gains?

His whole life’s reputation for brilliance… tarnished by a family he found bitterly disappointing.

“Zhao the Kid, are you sure the Jiang Family did it?” The old face of Emperor Longchang was also full of awkwardness, originally wanting to catch something on Wang Shouzhe, only to end up catching it on his old buddy Jiang Zhencang.

“How can I not be sure?” Zhao Mingzhi said indignantly, “Even though our Celestial Mansion Zhao Family is downfallen, we still have some of our own information channels. This time I came to see Patriarch Shouzhe, just hoping he can give us extended credit terms, so we can find a way to deal with this batch of goods. With our Zhao Family’s capability and channels, if it weren’t for the Jiang Family’s obstruction, we could easily sell these wares.”

His resentment wasn’t low, indicating he had been oppressed by the Jiang Family for quite some time recently.

“Old Jiang, what should we do?” The arrogance of Emperor Longchang suddenly deflated, weakly transmitting a message, “Should I get Shouzhe to help cover it up?”

After all, they’ve been old buddies for thousands of years; Emperor Longchang was still quite considerate of Jiang Zhencang.

“Cover it up for what?” Jiang Zhencang angrily retorted through transmission, “If it were Shouzhe bullying you, you’d be all over it. Why back down just because an unrelated Jiang Family is involved? Handle it as it should be handled and suppress their arrogance.”

“Alright, alright, actually I was just trying to match wits with Shouzhe, not really bullying him,” Emperor Longchang transmitted somewhat aggrievedly, “You don’t understand, since the Struggle of the Imperial Sons begun, that boy Shouzhe has set so many traps for me! How many times has he defamed me? How many grievances have I suffered? I need to save some face, don’t I?”

“Alright, alright, let’s withdraw for now, we’ll discuss this matter later,” Emperor Longchang saw the atmosphere wasn’t right and prepared to sneak away shamefully.

At this moment, Wang Ansong exclaimed, “Fourth Great-Grandfather, you’re finally here.”

Immediately, Longchang was startled into a shrink; how could Wang Shouzhe have arrived so quickly? Even if there were special means to notify him swiftly, it shouldn’t be this fast, right?

No, no!

I forgot something.

That rascal Wang Shouzhe dismantled a set of Multi-Space Anchor Point One-Way Transmission Array from the Blood Venerable’s relic… How could there not be a Space Anchor set up in such an important economic place as Xinping Town?

Miscalculation, a complete miscalculation.

“Your Majesty, are you here too?” Wang Shouzhe looked at the sneaky Emperor Longchang, ready to flee after making a mistake, and cheerfully greeted, “Are you incognito visiting again?”

It must be said that Emperor Longchang had indeed disguised himself, but his disguise skills were quite ordinary, just barely enough to fool those unfamiliar with him.

This emperor would often loaf around Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard, as long as there was nothing else, he’d sway in front of Shouzhe every day.

To put it simply, even if Longchang died and turned to dust, Wang Shouzhe could still recognize him.

“Your Majesty?”

The scene instantly fell silent; this devious old man full of slyness, was actually the current ruler? This really did not match with the imposing aura of the Longchang era, causing a bit of disillusionment among those present.

“Greetings, Your Majesty,” the Zhao family members hurriedly cupped their hands in salute.

Along the way, the little girl Yuun’er very keenly said, “Grandpa Emperor, please help us Zhao Family to get justice.”

“Well… I haven’t been involved in affairs for a long time, let Shouzhe handle this, let Shouzhe handle it,” Emperor Longchang gave Wang Shouzhe a fierce glare, awkwardly wanting to find a place to dig himself into.

What kind of situation is this?

Obviously wanting to have a good time, yet ended up being turned into pleasure by that boy Wang Shouzhe.

Is it that even with all his unparalleled achievements and fame across the universe, Heaven itself was displeased and specially sent Wang Shouzhe to slap his face?

“If it really doesn’t work, talking to Saint Master Jiang is also fine, right Old Jiang?” Emperor Longchang skillfully sold off Jiang Zhencang and then, with a flicker, tore the space and fled.

He really couldn’t stay in such an embarrassing place any longer.

Saint Master Jiang?

Everyone was struck as if by Celestial Thunder once again.

One devious old man turning out to be Emperor Longchang was astonishing enough; the other old man was actually the current Saint Master Jiang Zhencang!

What a situation this is?

The only two Lingxu Realm elders in Daqian, coming here together incognito.

The tavern owner first felt his legs go weak but then immediately became excited. This was a great opportunity; he could rename the tavern to [The Tavern Where Emperor Longchang and Saint Master Jiang Disguised Themselves to Visit], and wouldn’t that make a fortune?

“Shouzhe, I’m leaving this matter to you. Don’t show any mercy to the Jiang Family on my account, handle it as it should be,” Jiang Zhencang’s old face was hot, and after leaving a parting remark, he also tore the space and escaped.
