Wang Yingxuan, although mischievous and often causing a bit of trouble, is also very loyal. She never betrays her teammates and often takes full responsibility for her actions. If it weren’t for these qualities, she wouldn’t have such prestige in that Beautiful Girl Alliance.

"That’s fine. An Ye also worries about Aunt Lilong’s reckless nature and getting into trouble too." Wang Anye seemed to have expected this long ago, and calmly bowed, "An Ye believes in you, as a National Guardian Divine Beast, you will surely handle matters impartially."

"Oh, so you call me ’National Guardian Divine Beast’ just to flatter me, huh? At such a young age, where did you learn this?" Wu Canglong said with a wry smile, "Alright, alright, since Your Majesty wants to see you, let’s just go together, all five of you."

The other two, of course, referred to Wu Xue Ning and Wu Zhixing.

Wu Canglong couldn’t be bothered to waste words. With a flick of his hand, he swept up all four people and one dragon, lifting them towards the Imperial Palace.

Left behind were Wang Anan and Wang Zhouhua, looking at each other in dismay.

"Ancestor Zhouhua, what should we do?" Wang Anan was anxious and fearful. Going out and losing all three little Wang family members, would he be beaten to death by his father upon returning?

"What else can we do?" Ancestor Zhouhua also smiled wryly, "Quickly go back and inform Yuchang and Patriarch Shouzhe, let them figure out a solution as soon as possible."

After a short while.

Inside the Zhuozheng Pavilion within the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Longchang sat imposingly on a chair, his deep and sharp gaze sweeping over the three little ones of the Wang family.

Although the three little ones were all quite bold, it was their first time seeing the Great Emperor, and being stared at with such a stern gaze made them very nervous. Unconsciously, the three huddled together.

"Your Majesty, that’s enough." Even Old Yao couldn’t bear to watch, and softly advised, "Don’t really scare these children, it’ll be quite embarrassing."

"Hahaha~" Emperor Longchang couldn’t hold back any longer, and laughed heartily, revealing a kind and friendly demeanor, "Someone bring some melon seeds, candied fruits, and other snacks."

"Sit, all of you sit." Emperor Longchang said with a smile, "I am truly gratified, finally someone has managed to subdue the arrogant Wu Xue Ning. Let that girl know there are always others greater than you."

"Ancestor..." Wu Xue Ning stomped her foot and acted coquettishly, "I am very well-behaved."

"Come on, do you think I don’t know your behavior? Proclaiming yourself the second best young talent in Gui Long City." Emperor Longchang interrupted her with a laugh, "This time, being subdued by an eleven-year-old makes me so excited."

"Come, come, all of you sit, don’t be so formal with me." Emperor Longchang warmly invited, "Xue Ning, Zhixing. You two, as the half-hosts, take good care of these Wang family children."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Yes, Ancestor." Wu Xue Ning pouted reluctantly but had no choice but to agree.

"Old Yao, go send a message to Duke Dingguo’s Mansion, tell them I’m quite fond of these kids and plan to keep them in the palace for a few days, so they shouldn’t worry." Emperor Longchang said while secretly chuckling in his heart.

Wang Shouzhe, oh Wang Shouzhe, see if you don’t come running to request an audience with me?

"Your Majesty, why not send a direct message to Patriarch Shouzhe?" Old Yao giggled mysteriously.

Emperor Longchang’s face darkened, slightly embarrassed: "Just send the message as instructed, stop with the nonsense, do you want to be the Great Emperor instead?"
