Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1477: Chapter 69 Rich! Slaughter in All Directions (Seeking Monthly Votes) _2

As he spoke, he retrieved another set of questions from his Storage Ring and said, “Come on, try these intermediate education advancement questions from Divine Martial, also ranging from question one to nine.”

Seeing how enthusiastic the teacher was, Wang Fugui didn’t object and began to tackle the problems at hand.

Just like before, it took him the time it takes an incense stick to burn to leisurely complete the questions, all answered correctly once again.

Witnessing the teacher’s face filled with disbelief and preparing to pull out more questions from the Storage Ring, he immediately extended his hand to stop him: “There’s no need for the higher education advancement questions, teacher. I’ve been grinding them before the exams until I was sick of them.”

“An unparalleled genius, an unparalleled genius indeed~” This teacher from the Purple Abode Realm was obviously extremely fond of mathematics; upon hearing that he could even do the higher education advancement questions, he immediately became enthusiastic and started discussing them with Wang Fugui.

Their exchange was a rapid-fire of questions and answers. Those present quickly felt dizzy and overwhelmed, unable to keep up with the train of thought.

“Esteemed young master, there is a problem that has perplexed me for a long time.” Soon, the Purple Abode teacher began to address Wang Fugui with honorifics, with the conversation shifting from a discussion to seeking advice, “I would be troubled if you wouldn’t assist me with it.”

“You’re too courteous, teacher,” Wang Fugui humbly responded, “What problem does the teacher have? Let’s study it together.”

Then, the elder and the youngster began to discuss a mathematical phenomenon.

By this time, the expressions of Wu Zhiyu and the other young masters had turned very stiff, and they were quite uncomfortable. This was certainly kicking an iron plate~

As for the King of the North, his eyes were bulging in disbelief.

What on earth are they talking about? Where am I, the King of the North, right now? What exactly happened?

“Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.” The Purple Abode teacher suddenly became excited, bowing deeply to Wang Fugui, “Hearing the young master’s words is better than reading a hundred years’ worth of books. Your words have given this old man a sudden moment of clarity, as if opening up a whole new world for me.”

“Teacher overpraises me, Fugui was just fortunate to have a moment of inspiration.”

The two began to exchange words of mutual admiration.

“Great-grandfather.” Yun Mengyu said with a teasing squint, “Have you finished the examination? If you are satisfied with Fugui, shouldn’t the promised generous reward be honored now?”

“Of course it will be honored.” Though the King of the North’s face was filled with a grim hue, he had no choice but to pull out an Immortal Crystal note of ten thousand and pass it to Wang Fugui, stating, “You, kid, have genuinely made me see you with new eyes. Work hard in the future, and strive to become a useful person for the human race.”

What?

Yun Mengyu’s eyes widened.

Ten thousand Immortal Crystal notes? Isn’t great-grandfather being a bit too stingy? He clearly doesn’t understand the wealth of Fugui’s family…

Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Wang Fugui with a look.

Wang Fugui stepped forward, bowing deeply in gratitude: “Fugui thanks the senior King of the North for the generous reward.”

Then, he accepted the ten thousand Immortal Crystal notes graciously.

In truth, ten thousand Immortal Crystals was not a small amount.

This was already more than the entire wealth of most Grade Eight Prominent Families in Da Qian, and even for a 7th-rank Aristocratic Family, unless it was as wealthy as the Wang family, coming up with such money would require gathering funds from multiple sources and might even necessitate mortgaging some family assets.

Yet Wang Fugui was merely a ten-year-old child. Overall, the reward from the King of the North seemed reasonable.

Moreover, it was a gift from an elder, and with Wang Fugui’s mindset, how could he begrudge the elder for giving less?

Instead, Yun Mengyu’s expression was slightly displeased.

When she left Changning’s garrison, the red packets given to her by Anye Grandpa and Old Ancestor Shouzhe were much more substantial than this, and they came with no attached conditions whatsoever.

Compared like this, it seemed that her own great-grandfather was a bit too narrow-minded.

“Fugui is indeed quite clever. Solving problems must have tired you, right? Quickly, eat something; don’t starve yourself.” Imperial Consort Jiang Yiyi smile-showered him with several plates of pastries, looking genuinely pleased.

From her perspective, Wang Fugui seemed quite good: well-behaved and generous, yet modest, polite, and intelligent.

“Thanks to the Imperial Consort,” Wang Fugui said with appreciation, bowing before sitting down to enjoy food and drink.

Wu Zhiyu and the other young lads had been so deflated by the encounter that they didn’t want to talk anymore, each one pretending to be nonchalant as they ate and drank, gazing at the sky, the ground, and the refreshments before them – anywhere but at Wang Fugui.

Before long, a change of thought occurred to Wu Zhiyu; if they couldn’t outdo Wang Fugui culturally, they would have to change tactics.

He gave Luo Xuanji a knowing look and said, “Xuanji, I’ve heard your family has come across some good fortune in recent decades, that you’ve made a hefty sum.”

Luo Xuanji instantly understood, putting down his chopsticks to speak with ease, “Speaking of which, it’s indeed a stroke of luck our family’s Yuqing Ancestor had come across.”

“Yuqing?” Imperial Consort Jiang Yiyi suddenly chimed in, “Could it be the one who’s been making waves in Immortal City recently, Luo Yuqing? I’ve seen her once at a tea party; so she is also from the Cold Moon Luo Family.”

“Replying to the Imperial Consort, that is indeed our family’s Yuqing Ancestor,” Luo Xuanji confirmed with a tone brimming with respect, “The young Yuqing Ancestor traveled around the world, encountered the Great Heavenly Proud of Dongqian, and was invited to lay down roots in Dongqian to plan for the future. Later on, due to different ideals, she transferred her allegiance to the current Emperor’s son of the East Qian Country, making meritorious deeds at a critical juncture during the succession contest.”

“Hence, our Yuqing Ancestor is held in high regard by Emperor Zi’an, who assigned her back to our Immortal City, responsible for handling and selling goods from Dongqian and procurement tasks. In turn, our Luo Clan also reaped great benefits, and we’ve been thriving increasingly well over the years.”
