Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2354: Chapter 18: My Grandson Is So “Filial”

…

In the Spiritual Bamboo Garden.

Wang Fugui served some Wu Dao Immortal Tea to entertain Wang Hanmo, accompanied by Yun Anzhao.

In front of Fugui, Wang Hanmo appeared rather reserved, somewhat uneasy.

“I heard that Brother Hanmo has been implementing sweeping reforms in Jing’an State. In less than two hundred years, Jing’an State has undergone earth-shaking changes, even establishing a number of complete industrial chains. Not only have the prominent families and common folks benefitted, but the Immortal Dynasty’s tax revenue has also increased significantly.” Wang Fugui poured a cup of tea for Wang Hanmo and praised with a smile, “Even the Immortal Emperor holds you in high esteem, often commending you. I truly admire you, Brother Hanmo.”

“Fugui, my virtuous younger brother, you’re too kind. I am ashamed,” Wang Hanmo wiped the sweat from his forehead, a bit embarrassed, “Most of my strategies are imitations of your Wang family and the policies in Chuanan State. Alright, I admit I plagiarized, you can scold or beat me if you wish.”

“Haha, why say such things, Brother Hanmo?” Wang Fugui laughed, “My family’s Old Ancestor has said that all humans are one family. Brother Hanmo can grasp our Wang family’s strategies, naturally understanding my Old Ancestor’s philosophy of common prosperity and hiding wealth among the people. We are not afraid of people imitating, only that they remain stagnant, ignoring the interest of the common people.”

Wang Hanmo suddenly looked solemn, bowing respectfully, “Master Shouzhe’s vision is vast, which deeply impresses me. I truly hope to have the chance to meet Master Shouzhe and receive his teachings in person.”

“Coincidentally, my Old Ancestor is currently in the Immortal Dynasty. I’ll introduce you to him when there’s a chance.” Wang Fugui smiled.

“Then I must thank you, my virtuous younger brother, Fugui.” Wang Hanmo said, both excited and happy.

After this exchange, they clearly became more familiar with each other and began discussing various issues.

One must admit, Wang Hanmo is a brilliant talent in internal affairs, displaying his own thoughts and insights on many matters. Moreover, being a native of the Immortal Dynasty, he sometimes understands the mindset of the Immortal Dynasty people better than Wang Fugui and Wang Shouzhe, making even Wang Fugui feel he has gained a lot from their discussions.

With his assistance to the Princess of Jing’an, it’s no wonder the Princess of Jing’an has excelled both politically and militarily over the years, earning several commendations from the Immortal Emperor.

As the two chatted enthusiastically, they inadvertently conversed for more than two hours.

Yun Anzhao, who was accompanying them, started to feel drowsy. Seizing a moment, he hurriedly changed the topic, “Brother Hanmo, I heard your matter with the Princess of Jing’an has progressed?”

Wang Hanmo’s face froze, “How did you know?”

“Haha, we’re all relatives of the Yun family. I have my ways of getting such little bits of gossip.” Yun Anzhao laughed loudly, “In the future, you and my brother-in-law will be brothers-in-law.”

“No comparison, no comparison.” Wang Hanmo said shyly, “At most, I will just marry into the Yun family. I can’t compare to Brother Fugui’s ability to marry a princess home.”

As he spoke, he silently added in his heart that he married two at once.

One must know, throughout history, it is exceedingly rare for a princess of the Immortal Dynasty to marry outside, let alone serve one husband with other women. Wang Fugui has indeed set a historical precedent.

If such a thing were spoken of in the past, no one would have believed it.

“Of course, my brother-in-law has some incredible skills.” Yun Anzhao said with admiration, “The princess has always had quite a temper, managing even one would be a huge task, yet my brother-in-law has managed two alone.”

Wang Fugui was speechless.

You rascal… If your sister heard this, a severe scolding is inevitable.

However, with this relationship in place, Wang Hanmo regarded Wang Fugui as one of his own. Amidst their leisurely chat, he couldn’t help but seek advice, “Brother Fugui, there’s something I can’t figure out, and I’d like to consult you.”

“Brother Hanmo, feel free to ask. No need to be reserved.”

“Here’s the situation, some of the Demonic Clan prisoners in our defense area often mysteriously disappear. I’ve investigated secretly and found some unusual clues…”

…

A few days later.

Various reports were gathered in Wang Fugui’s Spiritual Bamboo Garden.

“Fugui.” Wang Ningxi also brought back information and discussed, “In recent days, I used my Master’s token to check the Wei family’s transaction records over the years at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. Nothing major was abnormal except one peculiar point. Over the years, they have been quietly purchasing top quality Spirit Stones from the Duobao Pavilion.”

“Coincidentally, just yesterday, an elder from the Wei Family secretly came to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to mortgage a place of magical power inheritance, in exchange for thirty top quality Spirit Stones.”

“Top quality Spirit Stones?” Wang Fugui pondered, “The Wei family is merely a strong first-grade prominent family possessing two ordinary Transcendent Void Realm Old Ancestors. The consumption should not be significant just to maintain cultivation base. Even if these were used for family Transcendent Void Realm seedlings to level up, it’s awfully extravagant and wasteful.”

Top quality Spirit Stones are rare and precious treasures that only those at the True Immortal level might use just to advance a little further in their cultivation.

Alternatively, individuals like Jiang Yuling, who have exceptionally high potential and aspire to become True Immortals at the Void Realm, might use the pure and vast spiritual energy of top quality Spirit Stones to speed up their cultivation or breakthrough barriers.

However, if Jiang Yuling were to use top quality Spirit Stones for daily cultivation, it certainly couldn’t be done, as the demand for Spiritual Energy by Void Realm experts during full-speed cultivation is terrifyingly high, even atop quality Spirit Stones are consumed quickly, it’s too extravagant, basically a bottomless pit.
