Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1299: Chapter 25: The Wang Family is a Hellhole!_2 Chapter 1299: Chapter 25: The Wang Family is a Hellhole!_2 Afterward, Wang Shouzhe was chased away.

Using the Great Emperor’s words, it was because “you, Wang Anye, have too good luck; staying with you for too long might rub off some bad luck. It’s better for us father and son to avoid contact as much as possible.”

Meanwhile, Emperor Longchang had taken his newly made friend and gone to seek revenge on Liu Ruolan.

The master and disciple duo of Chimei were completely passive, dragged into Liu Ruolan’s yard without understanding how everything unfolded. Somehow, they both felt an intense sense of danger.

This Wang family was too terrifying~ …

Having been sent home, Wang Anye was somewhat bemused and also slightly worried for that Senior Jiang.

However, the great grandfather might not seem reliable, but he wasn’t even close to being the most ruthless in the Wang family. Apart from possibly losing some money, Senior Jiang shouldn’t encounter any other troubles.

Well, better to spend time with the wife.

The news of Anye couple’s return quickly spread throughout the Wang family estate, and all the minor cousins and younger relatives came flocking, wielding their talent for flattery. Usually, they’d come smiling and leave in the same manner.

That whole day, there had been an incessant stream of visitors to Wang Anye’s courtyard, only quieting down as the evening drew near.

There was no helping it—the Wang family was flourishing more than ever.

The next day.

Just as Wang Anye was preparing to take his wives to visit some elders, another guest arrived.

“Anye.”

A mature man wearing dark soft armor appeared at the door.

This man was none other than the second oldest of the Wang family’s “Zong” generation, Wang Zongchang—and Wang Licui’s younger brother.

Now over a hundred and sixty years old, Zongchang had benefited from the new recruits’ training camp in his youth, his bloodline reaching Mid Class C of the Great Heavenly Proud. Over seventy years had passed, and his cultivation base had also reached the ninth layer of the late stage in the Heavenly Realm.

With a few more years of diligent cultivation, he could reach the Peak of Tianren Realm. After refining his skills for another decade or so, he could advance to the Purple Abode Realm. By then, he would prolong his life to eight hundred years.

Due to his rapid ascension, he still looked as handsome as ever, albeit slightly darker in complexion.

Moreover, since he possessed the Xu Wind bloodline, Wang Shouzhe had designated him as an exploratory scout, insisting on any related treasures and techniques to be his, deducting them directly from his Contribution Points.

Zongchang was proficient in wilderness survival and exploration, and possessed many admirable treasures. Over the years of the family’s rise, Wang Zongchang had silently contributed immensely to the family, being considered an indispensable right-hand man by Wang Shouzhe.

Seeing Wang Zongchang visiting, Wang Anye hurriedly led his two wives to greet him: “Anye pays respect to Second Grand-uncle.”

Wu Xuening and Wu Yiluo both dutifully paid their respects as well.

Observing the family hierarchy was fundamental in the household. Even if Xuening and Yiluo were Little Princesses of the Imperial Household, they still had to show their utmost respect to their elders when at home.

Afterwards, the usual pleasantries were exchanged, and an array of Spirit Melons, Spirit Fruits, and Spiritual Tea was offered. Then the two Little Princesses discreetly retired to their rooms, leaving the adults to discuss important matters.

Naturally, the tea and fruits Wang Anye’s family served to the elders were extraordinary, and Wang Zongchang thoroughly enjoyed them.

Once satisfied with the tea and the meal, Zongchang had Wang Anye dismiss everyone else and took out a secret letter: “This is a confidential command from your great grandfather, have a look for yourself.”

Wang Anye’s demeanor turned serious. It had to be something significant for the great grandfather to send a covert command.

He immediately took the secret letter and carefully read it, but couldn’t help but feel bemused.

The great grandfather had only mentioned two matters.

The first was an order that he must have two more children before advancing to the Purple Abode Realm. Whether he wanted the same wife to bear both or have each wife bear one, that was up to him—but Wang Shouzhe wanted two!

His great grandfather Wang Shouzhe always doted on the younger generation, with two exceptions where his resolve was unwavering. One was the issue of the younger generation marrying and having children, and the other was their education; regardless of whether one was a fish or a tree, they had to study.

“Your Second Grand-uncle advises you,” Wang Zongchang, sipping his Spiritual Tea, spoke earnestly, “Do not oppose your great grandfather on this matter. Those in the family who’ve tried to resist him have never succeeded.”

“This… Anye understands,” said Wang Anye, his expression grave.

The great grandfather was obviously long aggravated by the fact that they, a trio of spouses, only had two children.

Their lack of enthusiasm about having more children was largely due to their worldview and upbringing. All three of them had yet to reach a hundred years of age, and were both Grade A and World’s Best Sky Prides!

At such an age, for those without cultivation, it would indeed be considered old, but for Sky Prides and Great Heavenly Prides of their caliber, it wasn’t considered old at all.

In the Imperial Capital, Sky Prides of such an age were referred to as “youths,” with many not even yet married.

Initially, after marrying, Wu Xuening and Wu Yiluo did each have a child, but after birthing, they spent well over a decade raising them at home. Then, sneakily deciding not to bear more, they left the kids to grow independent early, spending their days with Wang Anye, living the life of Immortals.

They probably couldn’t sidestep this issue now.

And the other matter was to have Wang Anye work in tandem with Wang Zongchang to search for any clues related to the Blood Venerate’s lair. It seemed to also concern whether the child Ningxi could be healed.
