Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 157: Chapter 122: Achieved! Covering the Sky with a Single Hand (nearly 6ooo)_i

With the Wang family’s caravan, one by one, they entered Zun City.

The noises of spectating and chattering were growing louder and louder especially from the itinerant traders and distant Independent Cultivators. As they were shocked by the display, they also spread the formidable reputation of the Wang family.

A prominent family must have an intimidating presence to create a sense of awe from people and dissuade them from any malicious thoughts. On one hand, it reduces unnecessary trouble; on the other, the bigger the fame, the easier it is to benefit.

At the same time, while maintaining their intimidating presence, prominent families also have to keep their real depth mysterious.

In simple terms, they must show their might, making people think the Wang family is very powerful while maintaining a sense of mystery about just how powerful they are.

The intricacies and mysteries within this must be carefully pondered and grasped.

For this reason, under the arrangement of Wang Shouzhe, the head of the Python swallow was placed atop the first carriage, and the head of the White- browed Golden Tiger was “unintentionally” semi-concealed in the litter.

The Water Elemental Turtle, carrying a load of prey, unrelentingly paced into Zun City, elevating the shock of the spectators to an extreme point.

After the shock, a sense of awe developed towards the Wang family. With the ability to tame even Level Three Fierce Beasts, the rise of the Wang family seemed inevitable.

They parade through the streets flaunting their achievements, laying the foundation for the Wang family to dominate Ping’an Town in the not-so- distant future.

What to display, what not to display, and how to display each thing, are all the results of the Wang family’s deliberations, not random decisions.

While the spectators couldn’t help but sing the praises of the Wang family, they turned the conversation to Wang Shouzhe, agreeing that he’s a young and promising Clan Leader with a limitless future.

“Big Brother!”

Wang Luomiao broke free from her mother’s hand and pounced over. Her face was so flushed with excitement, her eyes full of pride and admiration for her big brother.

Those road-blocking peddlers, Independent Cultivators, merchant representatives, and town guards, all consciously made way for her.

She is the Wang family’s younger daughter from the main branch—Wang Luomiao, Clan Leader Wang Shouzhe’s half-sister from a different mother, her status incredibly noble.

She leaped forward with her short legs that hadn’t fully grown out yet.

Suddenly, Wang Shouzhe extended his arm to catch her and pulled her up onto the horse. Together, they rode out of the interior of Zun City. He laughed and asked, “You little thing, it’s only been a month since I last saw you, how did you become even more adorable?”

“Big Brother, your words have gotten sweet.” Wang Luomiao happily giggled, “It wasn’t in vain that Ruolan and I wrote a letter to praise you greatly.”

“Eh… you actually wrote a letter to Miss Ruolan?” Wang Shouzhe said, unable to help but laugh and cry, “With your scribbles that look like devil’s symbols, could you even present them? Isn’t that just revealing the lack of cultural foundation in our Wang family?”

“Wang Shouzhe, you, you, you, you’ve gone too far. I’ll fight it out with you.” Wang Luomiao got so angry she bared her teeth and swung her claws, “After all I did to cheer up sister-in-law, you this blockhead. Hum, hum, hum, I originally planned to show you sister-in-law’s reply, now hum, even if you beg me I won’t show you.”

“I never really wanted to see the secret talk between you girls.”

“You, you, you, next time I write to Sister Ruolan, I’ll say what a big baddie you are.”

“As you wish. If I can’t get a wife, I’ll use you, the legitimate daughter, to win approval for a marital alliance.”

Gongsun Hui, who was following closely behind, watched this scene with a mix of amusement and contentment.

Whenever Shouzhe and Luomiao meet, they always have to go through this routine, and Shouzhe actually quite enjoys it.

And Luomiao, even after being infuriated each time, would always throw herself back into her brother’s arms.

The affection between Shouzhe and Luomiao is truly deep.

Afterwards, Wang Shouzhe dismounted his horse to thank Gongsun Hui, Liu Ruolei, and Liu Yuanrui. Then he rejoined the caravan, marching grandly towards the Wang family’s main residence.

A lot of people trailed behind them to watch the excitement, and the number only increased.

Zhou Xuan Guan Weng City, which was bustling just a while ago, emptied out in the blink of an eye, leaving only members of the Liu and Zhao families and some soldiers who had a duty to guard the town, rendering it deserted.

Lei Yangqiu, Town Protector of Ping’an, watched this scene and looked at the increasingly heavy snow, sighing.

“There’s been a complete change of climate in Ping’an Town.”

The faces of the young people of the Liu and Zhao families had completely fallen. Many with fragile hearts who couldn’t bear the pressure simply collapsed and started to cry on the ground.

The Wang family’s caravan moved slowly.

A distance that would usually take less than an hour and a half to travel was dragged out for two and a half hours.

Following the caravan were as many as three to four thousand people. Seen from a high vantage point, it was like a dark sea of people.

The Wang family’s main residence had long since received the news, and the remaining clan members, house servants, and maids were all ready to receive them outside the gate. Fearing there wouldn’t be enough hands, they even gathered many people from the peripheral branches to help with the handling.

“Shouzhe.” Wang Shouxin approached, his face flushed with excitement.

The Wang family had been declining for fifty years and he, Wang Shouxin, had lived for forty-three years, never seeing such a glorious period for the Wang family.

He promptly advised, “Some strong prominent families, if there is a huge bounty from the autumn-winter hunting season, creating a spectacle, will take out a small portion of the prey, usually the common ones. Then they cook them on the spot and distribute the meat to the destitute who couldn’t afford meat all year around.”

“At the same time, some strong prominent families will also sell half or a whole Fierce Beast at a lower price to low-tiered local families to win over popular sentiment and enhance their prestige. This tradition is called ‘Celebrate the Surplus Banquet’.”
