Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 747: Chapter 101 Old Ancestor Shou Zhe (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1

…

Upon hearing Wang Mei Tao’s words…

Wang Shihai immediately rolled his eyes. Over the years, he had been filled with regret. That purple gold note originally from his great grandfather was meant to support him…

As a result, the damn girl Wang Mei Tao had gained an unfair advantage.

Nonetheless, Wang Shihai probably knew that given his personality, if the purple gold note had been given to him, he would have squandered it long ago. Only that damn vampire, Wang Mei Tao, could maximize the use of those funds.

In the midst of their conversation…

Next to the flying carriage station, the Wang family’s reception staff who had been waiting, began greeting the newcomers.

The one leading was a tall and dignified-looking young man, who bore a strong resemblance to the head of the Wang family, Wang Shouzhe.

He walked briskly towards them, warmly greeted, and said, “I apologize for not greeting you earlier, Wang Zongan, due to the arrival of our distinguished guests from the Southern Desert Sect.”

This man was the current young clan leader, Wang Zong’an.

Wang Zong’an was now 65 years old. However, due to his successful cultivation and the addition of his strong yimu (ether) bloodline, his bodily functions remained youthful and vigorous.

“Zong’an, why have you gone through the trouble to greet us?” Wang Shihai also hastily returned the salutation. In the past, he had spent many years in Ping’an Town and was very familiar with his peers from the Wang family.

“There’s no need for such formalities between us,” Wang Zong’an said with a laugh as he supprted Wang Shihai. Back when they were developing New Peace Town, he and Wang Shihai had cleared out fierce beasts together. They were quite familiar with each other.

In Prominent Families, the position of Young Clan Leader was always a special one. It represented the family’s line of succession, future expectations, and also the family’s face.

For the young and distinguished guests, it was too grand if the family head steppaed out to welcome, but it would not be proper to send an elder. Therefore, the young clan leader had to shoulder a lot of family responsibilities on behalf of the family head.

Usually, it was considered a high honor if the young clan leader came forward to greet.

Subsequently, following proper etiquette, Wang Shihai began introducing the guests from the Southern Desert Wang family. Apart from one Elder who was at the level of Celestial Being, the rest were all young generations of the Southern Desert Wang family.

Take Wang Mei Tao, for example. Although she looked young, she was nearly 60 years old. Originally, the family did not arrange for her to visit Changning. It was only by hitching a ride with Wang Shihai that she managed to come.

“This is Wang Anli, the third son of my eldest brother, Wang Shishan,” Wang Shihai introduced a young man.

“Anli greets fifth uncle Zong’an,” Wang Anli gave a salute with perfect manners.

Wang Shishan, being the current direct line eldest son, held the position of Young Clan Leader. His third son, naturally, was also from the direct line. In terms of succession rights in the family, he was even above Wang Shihai.

The following young generations were also important direct descendants of the Southern Desert Wang family, and the future backbone of the Southern Desert Wang family.

This strong display was due to the Southern Desert Wang family having a positive view of the Changning Wang family’s future, it was both to allow the younger ones to gain experience and foster close relationships.

By the side of the Young Clan Leader, Wang Zongan, was his eldest son, Wang Shizhao.

Wang Shizhao, who was over forty years old by now.

After years of cultivation and experience, he had already started taking charge of some core businesses in the family. He inherited his father’s dignified and steady temperament, handling people and matters with meticulous care.

After Wang Zong’an welcomed the parties from Southern Desert Wang family, he handed over to Wang Shizhao who arranged accommodations for the rest and introduced some core members to Wang Shouzhe.

In the following days, the guests from the Southern Desert Clan would be fully taken care by Wang Shizhao, leading a group of core family members.

Young Clan Leader Wang Zongan remained to welcome important guests at Dingpu Port and the flying carriage station. Then he would arrange for family members of different ranks to take over according to the grade and status of the guests.

For ordinary 7th-rank Aristocratic Families, those sent to greet would all be direct descendants from the ‘shi’ or ‘an’ generation. Only for powerful Celestial famililes, would the ‘zong’ generation elders be responsible for hosting.

When operating, a large Clan or Family must be meticulous and cannot afford mistakes. Otherwise, it was very easy to breed discontent and be misunderstood as the Wang family not understanding the rules and intentionally slighting their guests.

Meanwhile…

At Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard…

This courtyard, after several expansions and renovations, had become much larger than before. However, the overall layout was still maintained in its original style.

In particular, the bedroom for him and Liu Ruolan was still the same as when they got married.

People are like this, the older they get the more they cherish the past.

The early autumn sunlight was very clear.

Wang Shouzhe was half-lying in a sun lounger, squinting and basking in the sun while vividly narrating the story of Zhu Ba Jie carrying his wife in “Journey to the West” to a few children.

This story, he had been telling for over sixty years, accompanying generations of children in the family as they grew up.

Lying on Wang Shouzhe’s belly with his eyes opened wide was his youngest great-grandson, Wang Anru. He was a mischievous little one.

He was four years old this year, his father was Wang Zong’an’s legitimate second son, Wang Shihao.

“Great-grandpa, great-grandpa, why does Zhu Ba Jie need to carry his wife?” Wang Anru asked with a childish voice, “Having a wife is bothersome, isn’t it? Papa says ever since he married mother, he has been held tight all the time and has no freedom at all.”

“Err…,” Wang Shouzhe twitched the corners of his mouth, always hearing some weird things from these young children’s mouths.
