Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 754: Chapter 1 My Great Grandfather is Wang Shouzhe_2

Though only nine years old, Wang Anye often received admonitions and instructions from his great grandfather, Wang Shouzhe. He had been attending the Wang Family School for three years and thus was not like ordinary children. Whenever he spoke, he did so with an air of maturity.

“This…” Liu Lizheng immediately began to perspire heavily. He had been confused as to why the heir of the prestigious Wang family had come to inspect the village school of a small village.

Upon facing such pressure, Liu Lizheng promptly knelt down, “Young Master, it was I who was blinded by lust. I forced Zhao to become my concubine… engaged in vile deeds…”

“That’s enough,” Wang Anye waved his hand impatiently, “You don’t need to explain all this to me. I’m only nine years old, I don’t understand all these abominable matters. Zhao from the Clan School complained to me, and since you’ve admitted your faults… Wang Xing.”

“Yes, Young Master,” replied the shrewd servant Wang Xing, gazing menacingly at Liu Lizheng, “What should we do with this criminal, Master?”

“Hmm~My great grandfather once said that even garbage can be useful. I also heard from him that the Green Luo Guard had trouble with a place called Storm Bay during their reclamation work,” Wang Anye pondered briefly, “So, let’s get him a flying carriage ticket and send him to be useful in Storm Bay.”

“Wise decision, Young Master.” Wang Xing seized Liu Lizheng at once.

“Spare me, Young Master! I dare not do it again!” Liu Lizheng wailed miserably, “You… you have no right to punish me. I am the Lizheng, the minor official who was appointed by the local government.”

“So, you are a minor official, and we must respect the rules and laws,” said Wang Anye, touching his chin and looking very serious, “My sixth great grandfather seems to have been transferred to become the Keeper of Changning City. Therefore, we should first send him to the City Guard Mansion for questioning, and if the evidence is conclusive, send him to the Storm Bay in the Qingluo Sea.”

Thus, the decision was finalized.

Liu Lizheng, who was crying, had his mouth stuffed with a rag and was dragged off and bound by the household head. For the rest of his life, he would not have an opportunity for a turnaround.

Two hours later.

On a carriage drawn by a Spirit Cow, Wang Anye was happily munching on roast chicken and mulberries. The villagers had given him these as tokens of gratitude. He had declined the expensive gifts and only accepted some cheap food and interesting stones.

“Young Master, you are so kind-hearted. You came all this way to bring justice to the people over a trivial matter,” said the servant, flattering him.

“Oh…,” Wang Anye sighed deeply, “This can’t be regarded as a trivial matter! My great grandfather once said, ‘A dam thousands of miles long may be breached by an ant’s nest. Do not neglect small good things just because they are small.’”

“Furthermore, as the eldest son of the main family line, I can’t really do anything grand. All I can do is wait to inherit the family business. It’s such a monotonous and dull life without any surprises. If I don’t do some good deeds to relieve my boredom, should I waste my life being a playboy?”

“Eh, this stone seems a little strange. Wang Xing, cut it open.”

A stone provided by the villagers was cut open, revealing a shiny Spirit Stone…

“Young Master, it’s a Spirit Stone. Could there be a Spirit Stone mine hidden underneath the small Dongbin Village? We’ll be rich!” The servant exclaimed excitedly.

“A Spirit Stone mine, huh. That’s fine,” Wang Anye responded without any excitement, looking rather bored, “Since it has not been discovered for so long, it should be just a minor Spirit Stone mine. Report to the family and have them investigate.”

“Yes, Young Master. Are you planning to return to the main residence next?” The servant was used to their young master’s character. Wherever the young master went, he always managed to encounter good fortune and the servant was no longer surprised by it.

“Recently, I’ve been feeling a bit bored. I’ll go to the flying carriage station in New Peace Town and take a rides to the Hundred Islands Guard to watch the sunrise. Then, I’ll head over to the Northwest Guard to watch the sunset for a few days. Next… I’ll head over to the Longzuo County Town and visit my maternal grandfather, my maternal great grandfather, my third great grandfather, and my seventh great grandfather,” Wang Anye said.

The servant broke out in cold sweat. Was this considered on the way? Their Young Master’s itinerary practically crossed through the entire Longzuo County! But he could not defy the Young Master’s command. With a Spiritual Platform Realm household head and Heavenly Human Realm Guards watching over him, no one in Longzuo County would dare touch him with his status.

The carriage drawn by the Spirit Beast cheerfully headed towards the center of New Peace Town.

…

Meanwhile, in New Peace Town.

Without realizing it, several decades had passed since the construction of “Shouzhe Pass”. The once desolate New Peace Town had now evolved into a bustling and increasingly prosperous city.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the “Shouzhe Pass”.

The gate, roughly ten yards high and several yards wide, was awe-inspiring and majestic. Like a grey Jiaolong, it spread across the mountains for about ten miles. Standing at the foot of “Shouzhe Pass”, one could not see the end.

It was like a natural chasm, separating the inner and outer regions.

There were two different worlds on either side of the wall.

Not far away from the “Shouzhe Pass” was the town guard’s mansion of New Peace Town.

Guarding the territory and maintaining the safety of the people was the duty of the town guard’s mansion. To ensure the city gate was protected, the town guard’s mansion was built close to the “Shouzhe Pass”. From the mansion, all one needed to do was open the door to see the towering “Shouzhe Pass”.

Besides, there was a Zun City between the town guard’s mansion and the “Shouzhe Pass”.

In Zun City was the “Trade Office”, which was responsible for supervising trade.

Independent Cultivators, returning from explorations in the outer regions, could establish stalls here and sell the items they obtained during their explorations.
