Protect Our Clan Leader

Wang Shouzhe, standing aside, didn’t really mind.

He turned his head to Wang Ningxi and said, “In that case, let’s let our two half-immortal plants see some light too. Ningxi, how did you arrange these two half-immortal plants?”

“These two half-immortal plants, one is ‘Silver Moon Laurel,’ which can absorb the essence of the moon to nourish itself. Once it reaches Level Nine, it can produce Silver Moon Laurel flowers, which are a precious spirit flower tea.” Wang Ningxi said, “After discussing, we thought the family’s Grand Elder Ten is the most suitable to take care of it.”

“Grand Elder Ten?” Wang Shouzhe furrowed his brows and asked, “Who is that?”

“Um… Dad, Ningxi was referring to me.”

Wang Zongrui stepped out from behind Wang Shouzhe, cupped his hands as a salute, and displayed a slightly awkward but polite expression.

As the legitimate second son of Wang Shouzhe, Wang Zongrui was undoubtedly the least noticeable of the five children. Even his younger sister, Fifth Child Wang Lizhu, had a stronger presence than him.

“So it was Zongrui. Yes, you also possess Wood lineage blood, which makes you quite suitable for taking care of the ‘Silver Moon Laurel.’” Wang Shouzhe nodded in agreement and said, “However, the contribution points that need to be deducted must still be deducted. You can slowly make them up later.”

“Yes, Dad.” Wang Zongrui calmly replied.

He had long been accustomed to being frequently neglected by his parents.

There was nothing he could do about it, as his elder brother and sister were big figures of powerful influence, and even his daughter, “Wang Ying Xuan,” was far more well-known than he was.

However, if anyone underestimated him because of this, they would likely suffer the consequences.

Unlike his elder brother Wang Zong’an and elder sister Wang Liyao, after graduating from the clan school, he had been working hard within the family enterprise “Changning United Headquarters,” and he had now risen to the position of “Head Office Director,” possessing top-notch abilities and social influence.

Changning United Headquarters was an important “cash cow” for the Wang family.

Looking across the entire Da Qian, he had become a target of flattery for countless people.

Unfortunately, there were too many dazzling figures in the family, and his strengths were only clearly understood within the Wang family system. He was far less prominent than Wang Zong’an and Wang Liyao, who commanded their own territory, or even less famous than the younger generation, such as Wang Anye, Wang Ying Xuan, and Wang Ningxi.

His most significant identity was being Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan’s second son, and Wang Ying Xuan’s father!

But despite his unremarkable reputation, the contributions he made to the family’s development were real and substantial. Nobody would oppose Wang Zongrui getting the Silver Moon Laurel.

When taken out, the Silver Moon Laurel was still a fist-sized seed.

It was generally elongated oval in shape, wrapped in a thick and hard purple-black seed shell, looking quite durable for storage. If observed closely in the dark, fine silver lines could be seen on the seed shell, emitting a hazy glow in the darkness.

Wang Zongrui held the seed lovingly and observed it for a long time before finally returning to his senses, and began to infuse his Mysterious Energy into it, turning it into his life-bound spirit plant.

The process of refining a life-bound spirit plant was not complicated, especially when the spirit plant itself was still a seed.

With the infusion of Mysterious Energy, the Silver Moon Laurel seed, originally dormant, quickly awakened and radiated strong vitality.

Before long, the seed absorbed enough energy.

“Puff~”

With a soft sound, a tender green bud broke out from the shell, and swiftly expanded under the nurturing of wood-attributed Mysterious Energy, quickly growing into a sapling in Wang Zongrui’s palm.

It was a small sapling, its sturdy trunk covered with oval-shaped, emerald green leaves, with clusters of tiny silver-white flowers hidden under the leaves. Upon closer inspection, the surface of those tiny flowers seemed to be coated with moonlight, giving them a dreamy appearance.

“Yiya~ Yiya~”

The Silver Moon Laurel’s branches and leaves swayed slightly, producing a tender sound.

“What a beautiful little darling.” Wang Zongrui was extremely delighted, and affectionately touched its crown and said, “From now on, Dad will call you ‘King Yinggui,’ how about that?”

“Yiya~ Yiya~” King Yinggui seemed very happy.

“Come, let me introduce you to the family. This is your grandpa, grandma…” Wang Zongrui raised the small sapling and introduced one by one the people crowding around him, “This is your brother Wang Shi Xin, Wang Shi Feng, sister Wang Ying Xuan…”

All the children exchanged glances.

Alright, in an instant, there was suddenly another young sister.

Of course, though the gender was still uncertain now, normally spirit plants nurtured according to a particular gender would grow into that gender, with only a few spirit plants reversing under extreme conditions.

It was said that there was a bigwig named “Jinshan” in Changchun Valley who once grew such a case.

However, such situations were extremely rare, and in most cases, spirit plants were relatively gentle.

“Old Ancestor Grandfather, there is another half-immortal plant, which is the ‘Five-color Gourd Vine.’” Wang Ningxi said, “Considering the family’s Wood Type talents mostly originate from our direct line, I prioritized recommending my grandfather.”

His grandfather was Wang Shizhao, nowadays the Little master of Da Qian, also the Wang family’s spokesperson in the Da Qian court.

“Shi Zhao is indeed a very suitable candidate.” Wang Shouzhe nodded and said, “In that case, Shi Zhao, you should first take this Five-color Gourd Vine.”

“Yes, grandfather.” Wang Shizhao went forward to salute, then received a piece of “dried vine” with roots.

This dried vine, only as thick as a pinky finger, appeared withered and yellow, devoid of any vitality, as if completely wilted. But as streams of wood-attributed Mysterious Energy poured in, the original dried vine gradually awakened from dormancy.
