Protect Our Clan Leader

...

However, speaking of it, both the father and son of the Southern Desert County's Commandery Prince's Residence are equally unscrupulous, none of them can criticise the other.

When the Commandery Prince was youthful, he was a hopeless romantic, infatuated with the Academic Palace's Sky Pride senior sister. However, due to "differences in status", they couldn't be together. He refused to marry and have children, almost infuriating his ancestors to death!

It wasn't until he was over two hundred years old, on the brink of progressing to the Purple Abode Realm, that he was forced into marriage by royal decree from the Emperor. Furthermore, his cultivation base was too high, leading to difficulties in having an offspring. After several decades of marriage, the Commandery Prince Consort finally gave birth to Wu Jinghao.

Such a hard-earned child naturally received utmost affection.

Wu Jinghao was no ordinary child either. Even from a young age, he was an arrogant brat, wreaking havoc everywhere with the backing of his prestigious family background.

Later, he and the Wang Shihai of Southern Desert's Wang family, a Fifth Grade Prominent Family, became fast friends and were known as the "Southern Desert's Little Twin Demonic Kings". They were a headache to anyone who encountered them.

However, they refused to acknowledge that they were little demonic kings, instead calling themselves "Little Overlords"!

Following a series of operations, Wang Shihai activated the "Sky Mechanism Recording Disk" quite quickly.

Little Commandery Prince Wu Jinghao finally let go of the Thousand Miles Mirror. He caressed the tube of the mirror and said: "Shihai, this Thousand Miles Mirror you brought is indeed a treasure. Even from such a far distance, we can admire the immortal elegance of Tian Yan. The only inadequacy is that we can't get a bit closer to experience the Immortal's sweet fragrance."

Hearing this, their friends from various prominent families all nodded in agreement.

While the backgrounds of these three friends didn't match that of Wang Shihai or the Commandery Prince's Residence, they were strong Rank Six nobles in Southern Desert County Town, usually behaving as little demonic kings.

"...?"

Wang Shihai's face flushed instantly.

How did he end up with such a group of cronies... If he wasn't helping his great-uncle, he would have kicked them away and made clear his boundaries.

"Cough, cough~ Gentlemen, don't worry, this young master came fully prepared." Wang Shihai said while pulling out an array plate from his storage ring. The array plate had a dull color, decorated with tiny, intricate mysterious runes on its surface.

"Shihai, isn't this the one of your family's cherished treasures - the 'Sky Star Concealment Array'? I heard that once it activates, even a Tianren Realm Cultivator would fail to detect the hidden person's breath." Wu Jinghao looked at Wang Shihai with an expression of 'admiration', "I can't believe you dare to steal the family treasure for a closer look at Fairy Tian Yan.

The say I'm audacious but really, you're just as daring~~! You truly are a brother of mine, Wu Jinghao!"

"Way to go, Shihai!"

"The Little Overlord truly lives up to his reputation."

The other hangers-on roared in approval, one even urging: "Young Master Shihai, activate the array quickly. I can't wait to get a closer sniff of Fairy Tian Yan's fragrance~~."

"Don't rush, don't rush, let me figure it out."

It was Wang Shihai's first time fiddling with this thing, so he wasn't very proficient.

After a while, he finally got the hang of it and injected Mysterious Energy into the indicated part of the "Sky Star Concealment Array".

Soon, the embedded Spirit Stones started up, and the mysterious runes on the array plate rose as if they were alive, encapsulating Wang Shihai and the other four.

Something strange happened.

It was as if an invisible hand had wiped the air clean, and the presence of the five people was erased. Looking from the outside, it seemed as if they didn't exist, and even their breath was perfectly concealed.

This was the power of 'Sky Star Concealment Array'.

With such a concealing artifact at hand, one could avoid danger in an emergency, buy time to escape, or organize a small-scale surprise attack. You can say its functionality is very diverse.

Moreover, it's an extremely precious and rare portable array plate!

The only drawback is that this array plate loses much of its effectiveness during the day, it can only demonstrate maximum efficiency at night when it can blend with the starry sky.

Just as Wu Jinghao and the others were all set and waiting excitedly,

suddenly

a hearty laughter of a man resonated from a distance: "Qingyun is late, I hope the Fairy would excuse me."

As soon as the voice fell, a figure appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The man was dressed in a white robe. His movements were nimble, and he drifted gracefully among the trees and flowers, as though a butterfly flitting around, quite elegant.

Within a few breaths, he had covered tens of meters, elegantly landing in the pavilion. He then provided a grand salute towards Fairy Tian Yan with indescribable charm.

"Thump~~"

As the last note fell, Fairy Tian Yan stopped the strings and stood up to return the salute: "Master Zuoqiu's presence is already more than enough to satisfy me."

While speaking, she cast a coquettish glace at Zuoqiu Qingyun.

Before he could respond, she moved like a floating lotus, lighten landing beside the stone table in the pavilion.

With a wave of her hand, some prepared food and wine flew out of her Storage Ring. With another wave, these items gently landed on the stone table as if being held by an invisible hand.

"I've prepared some light wine and snacks, and although they may not match the delicacy of the ones in noble houses, they are unique. I hope Master Zuoqiu would not mind." Fairy Tian Yan spoke softly as if a spring breeze was brushing past, gesturing towards the seat opposite, "Please take a seat, Sir."
