Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 596: Chapter 51 Wang Shouzhe!

This is my family’s Old Ancestor!_3 Chapter 596: Chapter 51 Wang Shouzhe!

This is my family’s Old Ancestor!_3 The reason being that this place is near the outskirts, and it had been developed less than five hundred years ago.

There were still no Rank Six Prominent Families settled here, and the base of the Prominent Families as a whole is still rather weak, giving him a space to exert his ambition and ideals in.

However, when he arrived, he realized this place was just a pitfall.

From his initial zeal, to his struggles and defiance, finally accepting his fate like a salted fish, getting by until his term was over.

The local overlord of Changning Defense, the “Wang Clan”, could do whatever they pleased to stir trouble.

… Yet, unbelievably, he had already given up, but Wang Shouzhe continued to not let him off, constantly placing all the blame onto him.

The previous time was the violent assault case of Cao Youqing, the Sky pride of Lingyun Holy Ground, which had already pushed him onto a burning stake.

He had to tread careful, acting meticulously without giving any loopholes.

This time was even worse, stirring up a case of river bandits attacking, the prime culprit being Zhao Wu Qing, the adopted son of Long Wuji, the Overlord of Peace River!

When they delivered the culprit to the Changning City Defense Office, they had already almost solidified all of the evidence, restoring the sequence of events as they were.

As the City Lord, he merely needed to follow the evidence provided by the Wang Clan, and go through the procedures of the Daqian Law.

Unless there was an accident, Zhao Wu Qing and his group would be convicted of organizing the river banditries and looting, both the crime and the punishment were extremely severe.

City Lord Wei Wenxun wasn’t a fool, of course he knew he was tangled once again in a vortex of the struggle of the powerful.

Hence, on the first night, he immediately sent out some core and trusted followers to urgently ask for instructions from the Prefectural Governor in the County Town.

The next day, he only received an eight-word reply from the Prefectural Governor, “Handle according to law, administer impartially.”

Wasn’t this just nonsense?

Due to Wang Shouzhe’s secret propaganda, the case of Zhao Wu Qing organizing river banditries and looting the merchant ships in our Prominent Family records had already been heard around mostly half of Longzuo County.

The focus of many Prominent Families were on Changning City Defense Office, on him, Wei Wenxun.

During this, if he made even the slightest misstep, Wei Wenxun’s official career for the rest of his life would come to an end.

In this situation, only by putting on the face of an impartial Law Preserver would there be a slim chance of survival.

As such, his backing would be Daqian Law, causing the emperor issues until he would be able to stand tall and speak.

Yet if an immortal gave another chance to him, Wei Wenxun, even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn’t choose to rule over Changning Defense!

He would rather go to a city indirectly controlled by a Rank Six Prominent Family, it’s still a physical being with no actual power, and wouldn’t be used as the scapegoat~

Besides the miserable Wei Wenxun, all of Changning Defense’s Prominent Families have shown a loose exterior but a tight interior, every household ransacked their ‘abundant household’ and sent family members to purchase useful Spiritual Artifacts and Jade Talismans or various offensive treasures.

Meanwhile, within their respective households, they starts to organize the training of their family people and servants, preparing for a possible war.

On the contrary, the leader of the In-Laws Alliance, the Changning Wang Clan, was still following routine.

Doing the reclamation work, farming, those who were Artifact Refiners continued refining.

The young and successful Wang Zongyao, was one of the family-designated Artifact Refiner successors.

From the time he started coming in contact with Artifact Refining until today, the time was less than a year, but his life was filled to the brim.

Every single day, besides following a regular Artifact Refiner to learn about the general knowledge of Artifact Refining, he also had to study on his own the various Artifact Refining documents left by the Heavenly Craftsman, cultivate the Fire Order Method “Ye Tian Jue”, leaving quite a bit of time for smelting metals and crafting artifacts.

That’s right, every artifact refiner starts from being a blacksmith.

“Ding dong!

The hundred fine iron hoes that you, Fourth Young Master Zongyao, crafted have been appraised: twenty-five are rough grade, thirty-six are common grade, and forty-nine are good grade.

After deducting the costs of materials, you’ll get fifty-one Family Contribution Points.”

“Ding dong!

Congratulations to Fourth Young Master Zongyao for receiving the mission ‘Craft a Hundred Fine Iron Shovels’, with a time limit of one month, among which not less than sixty shovels of good grade and ten shovels of excellent grade.

Please Fourth Young Master continue to study the Art of Artifact Refining, hopefully becoming an Artifact Refining Master soon, and struggle for the rise of the Wang Clan!”

No matter how many times he saw the appearance of the family Artifact Spirit, or heard the “ding dong” from the Artifact Spirit, Wang Zongyao’s eyelids will still twitch.

What kind of disgusting soul was hidden beneath his Fourth Uncle’s dignified exterior?

“Ding dong!

A new series of family tasks have appeared, ‘Propagate the Clan’.

Please Fourth Young Master…”

Wang Zongyao ran away wildly before the Artifact Spirit finished.

Propagating the Clan and the like, where can it be as interesting as accepting an Artifact Refining task?

Even if every propagation of a clan member had extremely high Family Contribution rewards…

The reward is so high, that he began to fear that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation…

Behind him, the Artifact Spirit’s sigh could be heard: “Alas, this family task is really too hard to promote.

I should suggest to the owner that the “Propagate the Clan” task be changed to a mandatory family task.”

Hearing this sound, Wang Zongyao ran even faster.

Until he used a movement technique, and arrived at the Main Residence’s entrance.

However, he heard a crane cry, and a flying carriage skimmed down from the clouds.

As the flying carriage’s litter opened, five lovely figures fell from the sky.

They were all wearing the battle skirts of the female disciples of the Purple Abode Academic Palace, heroic and beautiful.

In a short span of ten breaths, they had all fallen at the entrance of the Main Residence.

Wang Zongyao quickly went over to greet them, saluting them with a bow: “Zongyao pays his respect to Elder Aunt Xuan, Aunt Ruolei.

Pays his respect to Fifth Aunt, Sixth Aunt.

Pays his respect to Sister Li Yao~”
