Chapter 2771: Chapter 13: I Treated You Like a Sister! But You Want to Be My Old Ancestor_3

For the sake of that kid at home who has a hell of a time finding a wife, Yun Tiange was really going all out.

Even if it didn’t work out, giving it a try wouldn’t be too big of a loss.

However, her words had only just fallen when—

”Boom!”

The entire top-floor premium private room exploded with a thunderous bang.

Countless building fragments blasted outward, and a terrifying Energy Shock Wave swept out, startling the guests in the private rooms below and in the main hall.

The furious voice of the Jade River Eldest Princess also rang in Yun Tiange’s ears: ”Good for you, Yun Tiange! I treated you like a sister, and you actually want to be my Old Ancestor! I’ll fight you to the death!”

As she spoke, her figure had already shot out of the shattered private room, charging straight at Yun Tiange in hot pursuit.

In the blink of an eye, the two humanoid figures with terrifying auras shot straight toward the Ninth Heaven one after the other, and very soon rushed into the boundless, ethereal Tianhe.

”Boom boom boom!!”

The sky instantly resounded with muffled thunder-like rumbles.

Streaks of flickering light lit up within the Tianhe, setting off layer upon layer of Energy light patterns. One look and you could tell it was two mighty experts locked in battle.

Yet all of this didn’t seem to affect the girls who were busy cranking through the blind-date exam papers; after all, Wang Baosheng was invigilating the exam, and none of them wanted to miss such a great opportunity.

Even if the odds were a bit slim, they still had to give it a shot.

After being flustered for a short while, they quietly went back to working seriously on the questions.

Meanwhile, Wang Baosheng was carefully grading the newly handed-in papers, solemnly and fairly scoring each young lady.

In fact, although some people’s Intelligence was indeed rather so-so, once most of the blind-date girls got serious, their scores really weren’t that low; on average they far surpassed ordinary people.

Which was only to be expected.

Among the offspring of Prominent Families, generation after generation of outstanding Bloodline genes keep stacking up, so the probability of producing talented individuals is higher to begin with—let alone the fact that these girls were already the elites selected from each clan.

In the end, about ten percent managed to pass Wang Baosheng’s preliminary screening requirements—eleven in total. Among them were two eldest daughters of Immortal Clans and one princess of the Immortal Dynasty.

”Next, we move on to the second-round dating segment.” Wang Baosheng meticulously handed qualification certificates to the eleven girls who had passed the prelims.

Girls holding this certificate had the right to invite him out to play, deepening their mutual understanding during the outings to see whether their temperaments suited each other.

If it had been before, this batch of girls might have already flung their sleeves and stormed off. But after witnessing how outstanding Wang Baosheng was, their entire way of thinking had undergone a complete upheaval.

Unconsciously, a faint sense of hostility actually began to rise between the girls who had obtained the preliminary qualification certificate.

Yin Lingzhu smacked her forehead as well.

She could swear this was the most ridiculous blind-date convention she had ever seen—yet somehow, that virtuous little brother Baosheng of hers had actually made it work.

If this went on, what if he really clicked with some girl by accident?

All of a sudden, her sense of crisis surged.

It seemed that from here on, she could only keep a close eye on Wang Baosheng and be prepared to accompany him at all times during his blind-date activities. If there were any signs of something actually succeeding, she’d have ways to sabotage it.

Over the following period of time, with Yin Lingzhu by his side, Wang Baosheng began accepting invitations from those Prominent Family young ladies, proceeding with the second phase of the blind dates—spring outings, trips, meals together, listening to music. His days were, frankly, quite delightful.

Meanwhile—

The Jade River Yu Clan began openly and brazenly targeting the Jade River Wang family, launching suppressive measures against them across all segments of their industrial chains. For a time, the Jade River Wang family was plunged into a wail of misery within; everyone was on edge.

The two Old Ancestors of the Jade River Wang family had no choice but to invite Wang Anye and Wang Baosheng to jointly discuss countermeasures.

In a secret chamber.

Facing the questions from Wang Anye and Wang Baosheng, the already decrepit Immortal Monarch Yuanjing sighed and finally revealed the secret behind why relations between the Yu Clan and the Wang family had deteriorated so badly.

It turned out that the Jade River Wang family and the Yu Clan had originally come from the Central Lands together, following the Yun family to pioneer this Jade River region. From six hundred thousand years ago onward, the two families had always gotten along well, helping and spurring each other onward, and even maintaining extremely close intermarriage ties.

Strictly speaking, the blood flowing in the veins of the Han Yue Wang family and its branch, the Changning Wang Clan, actually contained a portion of the Jade River Yu Clan’s Bloodline as well.

However, ever since a hundred and twenty thousand years ago, when the Jade River Wang family inadvertently obtained a ”half Sacred Image” along with the location of the ruin associated with that Sacred Image, everything began to change.

At that time, the Jade River Wang family was still thriving, with deep foundations and plenty of talent. If they could successfully find the other half of the Sacred Image within the ruins and inherit the legacy contained within, they would have the chance to become a Sacred Race in one fell swoop.

The Jade River Wang family began focusing all their attention on exploring the ruins.

Those ruins were a trial site left behind by some ancient Sect, opening once every thirty thousand years—but only those with True Immortal Seeds of the Void Realm had the qualifications to enter.

As for Cultivators above the True Immortal Realm, they would be blocked outside the ruins; if they dared to force their way in, they would be attacked by the ruins’ Protective Array.

In order to complete the trials within the ruins and obtain the Sacred Image inheritance and treasures, the Jade River Wang family started spending enormous sums to cultivate Transcendent Void Realm True Immortal Seeds. They even went so far as to sell off their property to help them enhance their Bloodlines and accelerate their Cultivation, hoping to increase the odds of success a little.

Unfortunately, fate was unkind. Two successive generations of outstanding True Immortal Seeds actually died within the ruins, and along with them, two volumes of Immortal Scripture were lost there as well.
