Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 540: Chapter 32: The Academic Palace Life of the Young Clan Leader_2

Wang Shouzhe glanced at him, laughed, and said, “That’s not impossible. You will be sixteen after the New Year, and it’s about time for you to contribute to the family. Spending two years in the County Town for some training and life experience could be good for you. After the Spring Festival next year, you can go to the County Town with your father.”

A joyous look immediately spread across Wang Zongcai’s face; “Thank you for your understanding, Fourth Uncle.”

Meanwhile, the banquet in the side hall had already been laid out.

Wang Shouzhe led everyone to the side hall for the meal.

The meal passed in relative silence. Upon finishing, Wang Shouzhe put down his chopsticks and said, “Alright, everyone should get back to work. Practice your lessons and cultivation base diligently because I will be checking next time.”

“Yes, Fourth Uncle/Grandfather.”

… As if they had been pardoned, the children hurriedly and respectfully took their leave.

Once they had put a bit of distance between themselves and the courtyard, they broke into a run. Dining with Fourth Uncle/Grandfather was too stressful.

“Aunt, Fourth Uncle,” Liu Feifei led Wang Shicheng by the hand, salute respectfully and said, “We’ll take our leave now.”

“Don’t rush, Fei Fei,” Liu Ruolan replied, “Take Shicheng and stay at my place for a few days. Help look after Liyue and Zongrui while you’re at it. Your Fourth Uncle and I have to step out; there are some matters we have to attend to.”

“Yes, Aunt.”

Despite her confusion, Liu Feifei still obediently agreed to do what was asked.

It was Wang Liyue and Wang Zongrui, the children, who looked at their mother with wide eyes. How come their father had just returned, yet their mother was already in a hurry to leave with him for some urgent business?

Even Wang Shouzhe was slightly taken aback.

Why was Ruolan becoming increasingly impatient as she grew older?

And for some reason unknown to him, whether it was because of her Spiritual Body or her high cultivation base, Wang Shouzhe felt that her figure and temperament had become more attractive. He hadn’t noticed it before, but after being away from home for almost three months, the changes were evident.

In the meantime,

Wang Shouzhe spent a pleasant first two days and rather an unpleasant remaining three days at the Water Moon Pavilion on Zhuwei Lake.

…

In the same period,

Purple Abode Academic Palace,

Changchun Valley.

It was late spring, early summer. The perfect time as plants start to grow and the Wood Type Spiritual Energy in the world is at its peak, making Changchun Valley the most beautiful to visit.

With the enhancement provided by the top-quality Wood Type Spirit Veins, the Wood Type Spiritual Energy in Changchun Valley exceeded that of other places, making it a place teeming with vitality.

Huge trees are everywhere, their verdant foliage, brimming with energy. The planned Spirit Fields were filled with numerous Spirit Valleys and Spirit Fruits, brightly-colored Spirit Flowers in full bloom, Spirit Bees buzzing around the hillside, Spiritual butterflies dancing around, truly a picture of a delightful spring.

In the depths of Changchun Valley, a small cottage made of wooden structure quietly nestled in a corner.

There was a Spiritual Spring and three parts of Spirit Field in the cottage courtyard.

In the Spirit Field, various fast-growing Spirit Vegetables and fruits were planted.

Next to the Spirit Field, an enclosure was cordoned off, housing six Level One Spirit Birds – Red-Bellied Goldfinches.

Despite being referred to as “finches,” each bird weighed around a hundred pounds. They had golden feathers and a red belly, their tail feathers were like blazing flames, and they were indeed a visual delight. However, all of them were so fat that they couldn’t even fly.

At this moment, a young man, outfitted in the ordinary disciple uniform of Changchun Valley, was working in the Spirit Field with a hoe, weeding vigorously.

The young man’s features were handsome, his temperament exceptional. Despite his modest attire and being engaged in down-to-earth farm work, his remarkable demeanor stood out.

This young man is none other than the eldest son of the Wang family’s direct line, Wang Zong’an.

After clearing all the weeds that were competing for nutrients with the Spirit Vegetables and fruits, he put down the hoe, went into the courtyard for the feed, and began to feed the six Red-Bellied Goldfinches.

They were really fussy eaters. Their food had to include steamed Spirit Rice, along with a specific quantity of Spirit Fruits and Spirit Vegetables, and occasionally a few pounds of meat to change their taste.

Speaking of these Red-Bellied Goldfinches, aside from the slight value of their feathers, their primary function was to lay eggs. Golden Finch eggs were about the size of melons. Whether they were steamed, boiled, or scrambled, they tasted great.

Yes,

Golden Finch eggs were meant to be eaten, and each one could only be exchanged for three study points! The ordinary students couldn’t afford it; only a few Core Disciples would occasionally exchange a few to taste.

According to the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, the most frequent eater of Golden Finch eggs in Changchun Valley was the beloved Little Junior Sister Green Fern of Master Changchun.

However, Master Changchun and Little Junior Sister Green Fern had recently gone out for some business, so the person in charge of Changchun Valley’s external affairs was now the highly respected Senior Brother Jinshan.

Wang Zong’an had been placed in Changchun Valley by Wang Shouzhe, not for him to join the Academic Palace, but rather for him to experience life, gain prestige, and to develop the comprehensive abilities of the future leader of the main branch of the family.

As his father put it, young boys have to take on more hardships as he is the heir to the Wang family.

Therefore, he had hidden his identity, entered school discreetly, and worn the Advanced Breath Concealing Jade Pendant, which could even fool the Divine Sense of a Spiritual Platform Realm Cultivator.

Apart from Master Changchun and Little Junior Sister Green Fern, everyone else in Changchun Valley thought of him as an Ordinary Disciple, did not give him any special treatment, and arranged everything as was custom.

For this reason, besides his chores in the courtyard, he also had to look after almost three acres of the Spirit Field every day.

After finishing all tasks within his quota, he would have about half a day of leisure time, which he could use for cultivation, to undertake tasks, or for networking.
