Chapter 2332: Chapter 13: The Wang Family’s Incredible Heritage! A World Apart from the Past_2

As they spoke, Ximen Muxue took out a crystal-clear sword from her storage ring. The sword was only palm-sized, yet it exuded a sharp, icy aura.

“A top-grade magical treasure?” Ximen Chuiyu’s eyes lit up. Just as she was about to reach for it, she hesitated. “This must be worth several million Qian Gold, right? Old Ancestor Muxue, this is too precious.”

The family was merely a strong Rank Six prominent family; such a grand gesture might cause serious financial strain.

“To be exact, it cost 4.3 million Qian Gold,” Ximen Muxue said with a smile. “But don’t worry, the family has developed well over the years. The Third Grade Snow Jade Rice we’ve planted on the farms has yielded bountiful harvests year after year, selling for quite a lot. With those profits, it’s easy to borrow some funds from the Wang Clan Bank, and the family can afford it.”

“As for you, Chuiyu, now that you’re part of the Secretariat Office in the Du’s Office, you’ve stepped into high society. If the family can’t even provide a top-grade magical treasure for you, people might look down on you.”

Ximen Chuiyu gritted her teeth and accepted the top-grade magical treasure with determination, saying, “Old Ancestor Muxue, I will work hard and strive to reach the Purple Abode Realm as soon as possible, to bring honor and glory to the family.”

“Then you must work hard and strive to see our Ximen family produce a Purple Abode Master within my lifetime,” Ximen Muxue said with a happy smile.

But she wasn’t joking; she was already over two hundred years old, and it typically took a celestial being until around three hundred years old to ascend to the Purple Abode Realm.

And currently, Ximen Chuiyu had only just ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm. It would probably take over two hundred years to reach the Purple Abode Realm, by which time, the Heavenly Human Ximen Muxue would likely have passed away of natural causes.

“Old Ancestor Muxue, I will work hard and earn money to buy you a Lifespan Extension Pill,” Ximen Chuiyu said, her expression a bit gloomy.

“Lifespan Extension Pills suitable for the Heavenly Human Realm are too expensive, and at most, they would extend my life by ten years or so, so don’t waste money on that,” Ximen Muxue said, winking with a smile. “If you truly want to honor me, just get me an autographed photo of Young Master Ningxi.”

“Old Ancestor Muxue… you’re still thinking of Young Master Ningxi?” Ximen Chuiyu said, half-laughing, half-crying. “I heard that you met Young Master Ningxi once when you were young and were so struck by his presence that your young heart was smitten, and since then, you’ve been collecting his picture books and biographies. I truly want to help you, Old Ancestor, but Young Master Ningxi is such a high and mighty figure, and he only visits the Demon Subduing Prefecture occasionally. I’m afraid I won’t even get a chance to meet him!”

“I don’t care ~ How about you ask your Dean for help? I heard she’s a senior relative of Young Master Ningxi.”

“Old Ancestor, give me a break, please. I only got to see the Dean up close once during the graduation ceremony… I was so nervous I couldn’t even speak.”

“How useless are you? Aren’t you an outstanding graduate? Didn’t you pass the exam to enter the Secretariat Office of the Du’s Office?”

“Old Ancestor…”

…

Demon Subduing Prefecture.

The current Prefect of the Demon Subduing Prefecture is Wang Shoulian, the sixth of the seventh generation “Shou” character branch of the Wang family.

This candidate was personally appointed by Emperor Zi’an. Firstly, although Wang Shoulian was born into the Wang family, he married into a military family and spent his life within the Daqian Military System, possessing dual identities as both a Da Qian official and a Wang family clansman.

Over the years, Wang Shoulian now has a cultivation base at the early stage of the Divine Power Territory, and with his unparalleled heavenly child bloodline talent, his overall strength is well-renowned throughout Da Qian.

Currently, he holds significant sway in the court; he’s a true regional power.

However, Wang Shoulian primarily focuses on guarding and controlling the broader direction of matters rather than managing everything. Most of the time, he is busy cultivating, striving for the next realm.

The various managerial affairs of the Demon Subduing Prefecture are primarily overseen by the Wang family’s direct line, Wang Anru.

Speaking of Wang Anru, although he is not as dazzling as Wang Anye of the “An” character branch, he has always been introverted and steady from a young age, gaining experience in various family industries. He later served as the City Lord of the [Green Luo Guard] and helped his grandfather Wang Zong’an manage Dala County’s affairs. He is a classic example of an excellent internal administration talent.

Within the family, as Wang Anru gradually matured and took on significant responsibilities, his prestige grew daily, rivaling even that of his uncle Wang Shizhao.

Even Wang Shouzhe was rather pleased with this great-grandson, Wang Anru.

Of course, if he ran into his bothersome father, Wang Shihao, Wang Shouzhe’s attitude wouldn’t be as friendly.

The Demon Subduing Prefecture oversees as many as ten newly established counties, with daily affairs being numerous and complicated, which is why Wang Anru established the Secretariat Office.

This Secretariat Office might seem insignificant, but it is the core institution assisting Wang Anru in running the entire Zhenmo State.

Currently, the Secretary-General of the Secretariat Office is Wang YingLei, the fifteenth ranked in the ninth generation “Ying” character branch of the Wang family.

Back when the Wang family’s [Chunlei Plan] began execution, she had already come to the Demonic World. Over two hundred years have witnessed the barren land and harsh conditions of the Demonic World gradually transforming into a Human race paradise, becoming the foundation supporting Da Qian, the Wang family, and various prominent families.

Now, her status has risen substantially, and she commands great respect throughout the Zhenmo State.

It was an ordinary day.

Within the large and structured Secretariat Office building.

Ximen Chuiyu, under the watchful eye of the security staff, swiped her card and entered the office building neatly dressed.
