The aura of the Heavenly Puppet Wang Shouzhe surged violently, firmly locking onto the elder of the Huangfu Clan as if the slightest movent from the opponent would trigger an attack, even to the point of self-destruction to take the enemy down with him.
The elder from the Huangfu Clan, battle-hardened and extrely sensitive to killing intent, felt a chill in his heart and imdiately sensed danger. He retreated several feet and said sternly with a cold face, "Friend of the Wang Clan, what are your intentions towards our young miss? Are you trying to provoke a dispute between the Wang and Huangfu Clans?"
His words were tough, but his expression betrayed a sense of bluster.
At this point, he no longer dared to underestimate Wang Shouzhe.
To have a Heavenly Puppet as a guardian, how could he be an ordinary person? Setting aside cost-effectiveness, just in terms of absolute value, a Heavenly Puppet was far more valuable than a Heavenly elder like him.
"Guardian, show so respect," Wang Shouzhe said calmly. "The elder is rely overzealous in his protection, acting out of urgency. Stand down."
"Yes, Master."
Wang Shouzhe's guardian then withdrew his intimidating aura, returning to his unassuming burly man appearance as if nothing had happened.
After this incident, no one dared to look down on the "burly man" again.
After all, purchasing a Heavenly Puppet from the Heavenly Workshop would cost three to four million Top Gold, not to ntion the ongoing maintenance and spirit stone expenses.
For a Purple Mansion Clan, wouldn't it be better to use those three to four million Top Gold to cultivate so outstanding clan mbers to ascend to the Heavenly realm?
"Thank you, Fourth Grandfather, for helping out," Wang Shihai said, swallowing nervously and bowing to Wang Shouzhe with trepidation.
At this mont, he no longer dared to look down on Wang Shouzhe.
With a casual flick of his hand, he could take down Huangfu Feifei, a fellow prodigy, with a single purple gold red envelope. And to have a Heavenly Puppet as a guardian, such a person could not be simple.
Wang Shouzhe gave him an annoyed glance.
Couldn't you just take your beating quietly? Why drag into it?
He really couldn't be bothered with the boy and simply ignored him, turning to Huangfu Feifei with a cupped fist salute, "I was rash just now, my apologies for being impetuous."
He knew in his heart that the girl probably ant no harm. After all, she had just warned him to be careful.
With a light wave of his hand, the net woven from the witch's long hair withered away, turning to dust.
As Wang Shouzhe perford these actions, he felt nothing out of the ordinary, but to others, he appeared as graceful as jade, elegant, and effortlessly charming.
Many young girls by the roadside stared with wide eyes.
Huangfu Feifei was also stunned for a mont before realizing she was free and staggered to her feet.
Her previous arrogance and fierceness inexplicably transford into gentleness and shyness.
She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks warming, "It's not the gentleman's fault. It was Feifei who was presumptuous and ignorant. You were rely administering a small punishnt, and I am grateful that you do not hold my arrogance against ."
"Sss~" Wang Shihai gasped in disbelief, looking at Huangfu Feifei, "Huangfu Feifei, has your brain been knocked silly? Where's your usual ferocity?"
"Huangfu Shihai, if you haven't had enough of a beating, just say the word," Huangfu Feifei retorted with a glare, "I'm all too happy to oblige."
"Scared of you? Bring it on, but no birds allowed~"
"You try it without birds then."
"..." Wang Shouzhe.

As dusk fell, the night grew hazy.
Lights from the pleasure boats on Dongchacha Lake illuminated the dark night with an enchanting glow.
At the dock, the crowd of nobles and wealthy rchants from various clans swelled, easily numbering in the hundreds.
A massive pleasure boat approached, causing a stir among the crowd. Fortunately, many of the guests were "cultured individuals" who refrained from making a racket.
"Fourth Grandfather, you might not be aware," Wang Shihai whispered, "Tianyan Fang has strict rules, entertaining only one group of guests per day. Who gets entertained depends on the question posed by the boat that day, and the first to answer correctly will be tonight's guest. No one else is allowed to interfere with Tianyan Fang's choice, or they risk being blacklisted."
"Sotis, Tianyan Fang doesn't pose a question, and the Tianyan Fairy decides who to entertain. Until the Tianyan Fairy ultimately decides to beco soone's concubine."
"Hmph, it's all just mystique to inflate their own value," Huangfu Feifei scoffed, "It's ridiculous how these nobles of Dongchacha Commandery are blinded by beauty. There must be sothing wrong with that woman. Only those lowly clans would fawn over her, a bunch of shaless lechers!"
No sooner had Huangfu Feifei finished speaking than a shout rang out: "The head of the Huangfu Clan of Dongchacha Commandery, Huangfu Chengping, has arrived. My master requests the Tianyan Fairy to co ashore tonight for a visit to the Huangfu residence."
"…what?!" Huangfu Feifei's eyes bulged in shock, her face full of astonishnt. Huangfu Chengping, wasn't that her father?
"Ha ha ha~" Wang Shihai laughed heartily, then said, "Feifei, who were you calling lowly? Ha~~"
But before Wang Shihai's laughter subsided, another voice ca from the dock: "The head of the Wang Clan of Dongchacha Commandery, Wang Zonghao, has arrived. My master says the Tianyan Fairy is a noble descendant and wishes to take her as a concubine, to cherish her for a lifeti."
Wang Shihai's smile twisted into an awkward grimace as he muttered, "What's with this rhythm? Is the woman I admire about to beco my stepmother?"
Wang Shouzhe's eyes narrowed slightly, the Tianyan Fairy was probably not as simple as she seed. A noble descendant? It seed that both Wang Zonghao and Huangfu Chengping, those two foxes, had caught a scent of sothing.
However, the hype around the Tianyan Fairy was also quite strong, likely with so ulterior motive.
At that mont, a woman's voice ca from the boat: "Thank you both for your affection, but today my mistress already has a guest to entertain."
"May I know which one is Mr. Wang Shouzhe of the Wang Clan? My mistress invites you aboard for a chat~"
