Chapter 2525: A Grand Chess Game, Part 2

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"In this way, the three princes will inevitably be suspicious of each other. Then, I can use the authority of the [magazine] to gradually reveal various secrets among the three princes... causing them to constrain and bite each other."

"With the abilities of the First Prince and the Third Prince, they probably can’t outdo Prince Wen Yu; perhaps by then they’ll be burdened with a terrible reputation. However, with me, Wang Baoguang, the ending will be different. Fragrant Jade Holy Concubine is Wen Yu’s prince’s fatal flaw in his final blow!"

Wang Baoguang excitedly said, "The final result is the three princes ’perishing together,’ completely ruining their reputations. At this time, we will come out to clarify, publicly declaring that the rumors about Qingyang Princess’s affair with you were concocted by the three princes to suppress Qingyang, thereby restoring your reputation and the princess’s."

"However, before that, I personally suggest that you, Old Ancestor Grandpa, should secretly take in Qingyang Princess! By then, the person at the helm of the Tianrui Saint Dynasty will be listening to you, and our Wang family in the Tianrui Saint Dynasty will get whatever we want! Wind, rain, everything!"

Wang Shouzhe’s eyelids twitched wildly, and the more he listened, the more his expression became hard to describe: "You dog thing, you have laid out quite a grand game of chess! Are you trying to lead your Old Ancestor Grandpa to his doom?"

"Old Ancestor Grandpa, you’re sacrificing for the Wang family." Wang Baoguang laughed dryly a few times." I am sure Old Ancestor Grandma will understand you."

"I won’t take her." Wang Shouzhe sneered and glanced sideways at him, "If anyone should, you should. Anyway, you’re not married. Simply become an in-law to the East Sea Immortal King Mansion."

What?!!

Wang Baoguang’s heart skipped a beat, and his legs became weak, "thud" went directly to his knees, plaintively crying: "Old Ancestor Grandpa, please spare me! How can I snatch a woman from Old Ancestor Grandpa? Besides, do you think with my capabilities, Qingyang Princess would fancy me? It would be a wonder if she did."

"Alright~ stop fake crying here, at least act more authentically." Wang Shouzhe rolled his eyes and waved his hand, signaling him to get up.

Wang Baoguang finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Wang Shouzhe’s attitude soften, got up all at once, and cozied up to Wang Shouzhe, starting to massage his shoulders.

Wang Shouzhe did not stop him, allowing him to come closer.

Sipping his tea to calm his mind, Wang Shouzhe, while enjoying Wang Baoguang’s service, began analyzing Wang Baoguang’s plan: "Your previous arrangements are quite thoughtful with certain feasibility. However, your plan is still somewhat rough, with multiple flaws that need careful consideration to be refined and patched up. Prepare several backup plans to address any unforeseen circumstances. After you go back, organize your thoughts and write me a detailed proposal."

"As for the part about taking Qingyang Princess, you should quickly dispel that filthy thought. Our Wang family’s foundation relies on our own abilities, and we do not need to climb up by associating with a woman."

"Yes, yes, Old Ancestor Grandpa, you are right." Wang Baoguang quickly admitted his mistake with an awkward smile, "However, we still need to cooperate with Qingyang Princess. We must make sure she remembers our kindness."

"Apart from that, you must be cautious in concealing yourself." Wang Shouzhe earnestly advised, "Since you’re going to cause a stir, you must remain in the shadows. Once you’re exposed, you will lose everything."

"Don’t worry, Old Ancestor Grandpa," Wang Baoguang beat his chest confidently, "Over the years, I’ve battled wits with Bao Sheng countless times; my experience in this regard is absolutely rich. Do you know why Bao Sheng ultimately had to give me a magazine approval number? Ha-ha, that’s because without it, my underground magazine could still spread far and wide, and he could never pin me down with evidence."

"Rather than face an entirely uncontrollable underground magazine, he preferred to give me a proper approval number; at least he could monitor my magazine’s content to moderate my actions. Bao Sheng, that brat, actually has a keen sense of the bigger picture."

Wang Shouzhe glared at him.

Indeed, this dog thing does have some skills. Being able to compel Wang Baosheng to compromise is no easy feat.

Though he has been in the Sacred Domain all these years, he has been closely watching Bao Sheng’s actions, and his abilities are well understood.

"Alright, get out of here." Wang Shouzhe impatiently waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, I’m going out."

Wang Baoguang rolled halfway out, then rolled back, eagerly looking at Wang Shouzhe: "Old Ancestor Grandpa, please refrain from clarifying anything just yet. Stay ambiguous for now, give me some time to lay out the plan."

Wang Shouzhe’s cheek twitched: "Get out, I understand."

"Thank you, Old Ancestor Grandpa."

Wang Baoguang joyfully rolled out.

"..."

Watching the back of his joyful departure, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help feeling a deep sense of helplessness.

Not afraid of a reckless child, but fearing a reckless child who simultaneously has abilities, truly making discipline difficult~

Forget it~ forget it~ at least this time he’s doing serious work, although the process may be somewhat absurd, the result is indeed what he is happy to see.

Just let him go and try it then~

With a sigh in his heart, Wang Shouzhe quickly sorted out his emotions, temporarily casting Wang Baoguang’s matters aside, and commanded someone to call over Jiang Jian Mu and instruct him to go outside to help him purchase a villa.
