Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2988: Chapter 68: Wang Family Talents Arrive in Luojing (Part 2)

After all, power and obligation have always been corresponding.

The [Tianwei Saint Mansion] is one of the Eight Holy Mansions, and the Tianwei Saint Clan Wang family was one of the families that followed the Xuanyuan clan in fleeing to the wilderness, and through generations of effort became a Saint Clan.

At its peak, the Tianwei Wang family was ennobled as one of the [Dongxia Twenty-four Meritorious Saint Clan].

Saint Clans like them in Dongxia are generally called ”New Aristocratic Saint Clans.”

Of course, although they’re called ”new aristocrats,” they’ve been around for a million years. The reason for the name is to correspond with ”Ancient Saints,” and secondly, it’s a term from the past that’s continued to the present, and everyone has gotten accustomed to it.

However, a million years have passed, and the twenty-four meritorious Saint Clans have experienced rise and fall. Some have become more powerful, some have long since declined, and some have disappeared in the river of history, rarely known to anyone anymore.

Of course, there are also some previously inconspicuous families that have gradually risen over this million years, replacing other Saint Clans.

Among them, the Tianwei Diao Family has emerged as a [True New Saint Clan] in the past hundred thousand years.

These True New Saint Clans may not have the deep foundations of the veteran Saint Clans, but they also lack the outdated customs and bloated systems of the old ones. Because they are ”young” enough, they are often full of vigor, possess greater explosiveness, and are more aggressive.

The rise and fall of old and new families are not uncommon in the million-year history of the Eastern Dawn God Continent, considered a normal kind of [metabolism]. Once a family becomes decadent and old, a new aristocratic family naturally takes its place.

During this process, some veteran families are naturally unwilling to decline and be replaced, and thus they will employ a series of countermeasures.

For example, this time, it is the Tianwei Wang family’s counterattack against the aggressive Tianwei Diao Family.

This time, they have prepared ample betrothal gifts, intending to marry a talented second daughter of the Jiang’s, [Jiang Xiyue], using old ties and promising that the future son of Wang Yinhang, the firstborn of the Wang family, and Jiang Xiyue will be groomed as the next Saint of the Wang family.

This is considered a mutually beneficial In-laws Alliance for both families.

After all, once Jiang’s grandson becomes a Saint, he will be the Wang family’s Sacred Supreme Old Ancestor in the future, with a lifespan of over thirty thousand years. As long as this Old Ancestor is alive, there will be a close in-law relationship between Jiang’s and Wang family.

With this layer of in-law relationship as a link, the Tianwei Wang family can rely on Jiang’s Danfang to vigorously expand their Spiritual Medicine cultivation and secure stable downstream supplier profits.

For Jiang Xiyue, marrying into the Wang family is not a loss. After all, whether staying at home or marrying into the Wang family, striving to become a Sacred Supreme is difficult, but by marrying into the Wang family, her eldest son already has a reserved seat as a Sacred Supreme.

In theory, with the status of the Tianwei Wang family, along with their offered betrothal gifts and promises, it shouldn’t be difficult to marry a second legitimate daughter of Jiang’s.

Unfortunately, they seem to have come a step too late, as the Tianwei Diao Family had already made a marriage proposal beforehand, offering greater bride prices and ”sincerity.”

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Jiang’s has already agreed to the Tianwei Diao family’s marriage proposal, but because of this, Jiang Xiyue suddenly became ”hotly sought after,” and Jiang’s naturally has to put on airs and take some time to carefully select their future in-laws.

”Old Ancestor, if we can’t make this move work and the Diao family gains the upper hand first, our future days will be tough,” Wang Yinhang, the current firstborn of the Wang family, recalled the attitude of the Sage Old Ancestor earlier and couldn’t help but worry.

”No matter what, we must secure this marriage alliance.” Old Ancestor Chenfeng squinted slightly, his eyes glinting with a sharp light, ”The Diao family’s betrothal gift is a bit better than ours. If we just wait passively, Jiang’s is likely to lean toward a marriage alliance with the Diao family. We cannot just sit and wait for death.”

”For now, we can only think of a way to come up with a new approach. If Yinhang can win over Jiang Xiyue’s heart first, even Jiang’s Old Ancestors will find it hard to break up the lovebirds.”

Misses like Jiang Xiyue, although it’s difficult for her to rise to the Great Luo Realm due to the lack of a Sacred Image, her innate talent and potential are outstanding, and there’s a significant probability for her to become a mid-late stage True Immortal Realm powerhouse in the future.

Even in a family like Jiang’s Ancient Saints, how many mid-late stage True Immortal Realm powerhouses can there be?

Such a woman is naturally not some ”marriage tool” that can be arranged by the family at will. Even if it is an arranged marriage, the family must fully consider her personal will.

If she is determined to marry someone, the family would find it difficult to forcibly stop her.

As for Wang Yinhang, he is handsome, with a not low bloodline and cultivation base, and he is also talented. Compared to the Diao family’s firstborn, he is superior, making the ”beautiful man plan” somewhat feasible.

However, upon hearing this, Wang Yinhang instead grew even more troubled: ”This plan might be difficult. Miss Jiang is one of Luojing’s famous talented women, and her social circle is both high and narrow. It’s hard for me to even meet her.”

This is also true.

Old Ancestor Chenfeng pondered for a moment and then had an idea: ”It’s not that there isn’t any opportunity at all... but we’ll have to ask your aunt Jinyun for help.”

He was referring to the Tianwei Wang family’s once second daughter, [Wang Jinyun].

She married into the Xuanyuan Ancient Saints of Luojing more than a thousand years ago, into the second line of the [Taishi Family], which specializes in historical records, and gave birth to a son and a daughter.
