Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 834: Chapter 19 My “Filial” Great-Grandson

…

“Thank you for your praise, Xiaoxiao,” Wang Anye said with an embarrassed yet polite smile, “You are very beautiful yourself.”

In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel that the female relatives in his family, one after another, loved to take advantage of him, always ready to hug, pinch, or plant a kiss on him.

Ah, a person just shouldn’t be too handsome, otherwise there is never an end to the trouble.

“This kid has such a sweet mouth, even sweeter than my cousin when he was little,” Lu Xiaoxiao said with a radiant smile, then took out a stack of gold bills from her storage ring and shoved it into Wang Anye’s embrace, “These are for you to buy candy.”

Although the Lu Family of Changning is currently just a 7th-rank Prominent Family, due to being the maternal family of Wang Shouzhe, their standing within the In-laws Alliance is very stable. Over the past decades, they have flourished even more.

Now, within the Lu Family, there are already over twenty cultivators in the Spiritual Platform Realm, among whom three are young generations being heavily cultivated as Tianren Realm seeds.

It was quite evident that Lu Xiaoxiao wasn’t content with the Lu Family being merely a 7th-rank Aristocratic Family. She also wanted to advance quickly to the sixth or even fifth rank, staying closely behind her cousin, Wang Shouzhe.

Buy candy? With these gold bills, you’d need a cargo ship to transport the sweets, and they’d last for thousands of years.

Wang Anye’s face turned red, but he still obediently and politely thanked Elder Lu Xiaoxiao, even though in his storage ring, the “Endless Abyss,” he had so many gold bills that he himself couldn’t count.

His relatives loved to give him money for no particular reason, and as a kid, he couldn’t spend much anyway. And sometimes, even if he did want to spend some money, it seemed to multiply instead… Sigh, that was genuinely troublesome.

“Xiaoxiao,” Wang Shouzhe interrupted, bringing the conversation back to the main point, “What’s the deal with this Array? Just because there’s a vortex, does it mean we can really go in?”

Wang Shouzhe had also studied some Array knowledge, but the Path of Array was intricate and mystical, a discipline requiring long-term study and accumulation. With him being the Clan Leader, where would he find the leisure for that?

With the time he did have, wasn’t nurturing the younger generations of the family a better use? Thus, his understanding of Arrays was limited to some basic knowledge, not extending to the more complex and profound.

But Lu Xiaoxiao took the time to lecture on the basics of Array knowledge at the Wang Family School regularly, and over these decades, she had discovered a few decent Array Master prospects, who were now learning from her.

Other families also had members studying under Xiaoxiao to varying extents.

Strictly speaking within the realm of Changning’s defenses, Lu Xiaoxiao was clearly the “top-tier” Array Master.

“Cousin Shouzhe,” Lu Xiaoxiao grinned sweetly, “Although this Isolation Array is quite powerful, it has been around for quite some time. Since Anye has already found a loophole, the rest will be easy.”

Then, under Lu Xiaoxiao’s manipulation, the Array vortex tunnel was slowly torn open until a clear and large gap emerged.

“Cousin, take care of Anye on the outside,” Lu Xiaoxiao instructed. Since it was an Array issue, naturally, Xiaoxiao’s opinion prevailed.

Plus, the team following her into the Isolation Array was strong, with four Tianren Realm Cultivators, including the formidable Old Ancestor Longyan. Combined with Wang Shouzhe’s support from the outside, even if they accidentally encountered a Level Seven Fierce Beast, they would be able to hold their ground.

And considering Wang Shouzhe’s character of always planning for the worst-case scenario, and with the family having prospered for so long, accumulating such a vast wealth of resources, wouldn’t he secretly prepare a few trump cards to deal with Purple Abode Realm Cultivators or Level Seven Fierce Beasts?

This time, everyone was fully equipped, bringing along the trump cards accumulated over many years; naturally, their safety was assured.

Once they all entered the Array, Wang Shouzhe set up some plant Arrays outside as an additional safeguard, then he chatted up Wang Anye with a grin, “Anye, you’re still young. Don’t you think wearing the Endless Abyss all the time is a bit too ostentatious? It could attract thieves, right?”

“Hm?” Wang Anye’s eyes widened, “Great grandfather, don’t worry. I’m the direct great-grandson of the Wang family and the external direct descendent of the Qian Family. No one in Left County dares to mess with me, especially with Old Qian looking out for me in the shadows.”

That made sense… Wang Shouzhe found himself at a loss.

The Endless Abyss on the young guy belonged to the Qian Family who had spent a lot of money and connections at auction to acquire it, a birthday gift from Qian Xuehan to his great-grandson. Therefore, even though Wang Shouzhe was quite envious, it wasn’t appropriate for him to express it openly.

He couldn’t very well say to Wang Anye: Dear great-grandson, how about grandpa trades you a top-grade Storage Ring for your top-quality Endless Abyss?

That would be shameless.

“Do you want the Endless Abyss, great grandfather?” Wang Anye stroked his chin, pretending to be a wealthy tycoon, “You should’ve just said so. If you want it, it’s yours, no—I’ll give it to you.”

Fortunately, he was quick-witted, avoiding saying the word “reward” out loud, or else he would’ve been in for a beating from his father when he got back.

Seeing such filial piety in his great-grandson, Wang Shouzhe felt gratified.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford a top-grade Storage Ring; it just wasn’t urgently needed, rare to make, and scarcely found throughout the vast lands of Da Qian.

And as the Wang family was about to open up new territories, those in charge donning an Endless Abyss would significantly ease the burden.

Actually, a Storage Ring is a type of personal dimensional space, requiring a person’s spiritual power (God Sense) to consecrate. The idea is to form a sustained resonance mark within the space of the storage equipment, allowing items to be stored and retrieved merely with a thought.
