Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 463: Chapter 3: Shou Zhe! Being handsome is the original sin_1

…

After the auction.

Wang Shouzhe politely refused the invitations from the Tuoba Family and Dan Tai Clan to stay for a while, promptly withdrawing under the pretext of sending his daughter to the Academic Palace to avoid being dragged into the vortex of their conflict.

Of course, this reason is true.

This year, his eldest daughter, Wang Liyao, is already nineteen and his eldest son, Wang Zong’an, is sixteen. Both have reached the age to go to the Academic Palace.

Out of the two, his eldest daughter, Wang Liyao, is incredibly talented with unlimited future potential. The platform provided by the Wang family is too small for her; she will certainly be going the Academic Palace route in the future.

Some years ago, on behalf of his wife, Liu Ruolan, he had already written a letter to her name-recorded master, the Sky Master of Tian Lake School in the Purple Abode College, to inform him of Liyao’s basic situation and initially expressed the intention to accept her as a disciple.

This time going out, Wang Shouzhe is prepared to drop her off at the Academic Palace along the way.

As for Zong’an, although he didn’t get the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu, over the years, he has bought many Blood Refining Pills, Enlightenment Pills, and Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills for him to improve his qualifications and he has taken a round of all these Dan medicines.

Last year, Zong’an broke through the second level of the Divine Martial Dynasty’s trial dungeon and got the Junior Bloodline Aptitude Improvement Liquid. Now his bloodline is awakened to the second level. In the Academic Palace, he can be considered as a “Sky Pride”.

However, Zong’an is the legitimate eldest son and it is unsuitable for him to go the Academic Palace route, so Wang Shouzhe never had plans to let him join the Academic Palace fully.

He is taking him along this time just to let him be an Ordinary Disciple in the Academic Palace for a few years, in order to broaden his horizons and avoid living under the shelter of the Wang family from an early age, lest he becomes a frog in a well.

The world is so huge, and Changning is just a small part of it.

As the saying goes, “Born in woe, die in peace,” only by seeing the vastness of the world can you realize how tiny you are. And only then can you always harbor a heart filled with awe and not make some low-level mistakes because you think too highly of yourself.

Yin Yuzhe of the Yinsha Sect is a typical example.

If he didn’t hold himself in such high regard and disregard Huangfu Hua Ye and Huangfu Jinghuan, with his Direct Disciple skills from the Yinsha Sect, how could he have been so easily killed?

…

Half a month later, the Wang family’s caravan arrived at Longzuo County City.

This is Wang Shouzhe’s second time to Longzuo County City. The last time he was here was when Luo Qiu and Luo Jing were sent to the Academic Palace.

Eleven years later, the county town walls still stand as lofty as they used to be.

The traces on the city wall are mottled with the marks of the years but still as sturdy and robust, giving a heavy sense of oppression as if they could stand for thousands or even tens of thousands of years without change.

However, the Wang family is not what it used to be.

Looking at this scene, Wang Shouzhe is also filled with emotions.

Last time they came, the Wang family were an 8th Grade Prominent Family, and now, they are a 7th-rank Aristocratic Family.

The noble families are numerous in Da Qian. Each grade brings different statuses and treatments.

In the past, when the Wang Family came to the county city, they needed to be received by the host family. Now, with the current status and position, even without a guide, they can directly pass through the VIP passage into the city and enjoy the courteous attitudes and admiring eyes of the city guards.

After handing out the name cards, the city guard immediately put on a warm smile, leading the Wang family’s caravan to the VIP channel.

Accompanied by the rolling sounds of the carriage wheels, the caravan slowly entered the city.

After entering the city, Wang Shouzhe and his party didn’t first visit Longzuo’s Wang family but went directly to a storefront in the South Market.

This storefront has three streetside entrances with seven or eight courtyards that can accommodate people, the location is quite good. Of course, the price is also quite good.

Even the Wang family’s wealth felt a major dent by buying the place. It cost a lot of Qian Gold.

County towns are county towns after all. The price of prime real estate of the same size is more than ten times that of Changning. The three storefronts plus some courtyards actually cost the Wang family nearly 150,000 Qian Gold.

Fortunately, the storefront now sells luxury goods, mirrors, glass products, and cosmetics produced by the Wang family. Although the operating time is short and the situation has not completely opened up, it still has a profit of several thousand Qian Gold each year.

If this expensive shop was used to sell salted fish and other common goods, it would take hundreds of years to recover the capital.

Wang Shouzhe expended a decent cost to have a foot in the county city for the future development of the Wang family. As the Wang family grows stronger and stronger, the frequency of visiting the county city will inevitably increase. It’s not like they can always stay at the house of Longzuo’s Wang family, right?

Even if the relationship between the two families is good, they have separated and become different branches. Over time, there are always times when it’s not convenient.

“Fourth brother, sister-in-law, you’re here.”

Seeing the caravan stopping at the doorstep, Wang Shounuo, already in his mid-forties, immediately came out from the storefront.

After paying his respects to Wang Shouzhe and everyone else who came with him, he immediately commanded the young servants to lead the carriages straight into the inner courtyard.

That’s right.

The person in charge of the storefront in the county city is Wang Family’s “Shou” generation’s third child, Wang Shounuo.

The population of the Wang family is gradually flourishing, but the growth of the clan members takes time, and there is still a shortage of those who can handle things on their own. Plus, with the Wang family’s industries expanding, there is a need for clan members to manage each place, thus the manpower remains short.

Wang Shounuo is in his prime and has advanced to become a Spirit Platform Realm Cultivator with the support of his family. It is very suitable for him to be in charge of expanding the industry in the county city.
