Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 869: Chapter 27 The Wang Family Gains the Purple Abode! The Green Jiao Transforms into a Dragon (Seeking Monthly Votes)

…

Under the faint gaze of Senior Brother Jinshan, Wang Zong’an was now looking at the Longevity Tree with a tender expression in his eyes.

Ever since he had obtained the spirit seed of the Longevity Tree, he had been diligently nurturing it and building a bond. After ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm, he refined it into his life-bound Spirit Plant.

Having become his life-bound Spirit Tree, one couldn’t say that there was complete mutual understanding between the man and the tree, but their connection went beyond that of ordinary Spirit Plants. Wang Zong’an could clearly sense her happiness, anger, sorrow, and a myriad of subtle emotions.

Despite being only a few meters tall, the effort and resources poured into its cultivation were vast and heartbreaking, even more so than raising children.

“Whoosh whoosh~”

In the howling northwest wind of the Great Desert, the Longevity Tree swayed its leaves joyfully, each leaf lush and jade green, radiating a strong vitality.

The lively branches affectionately rubbed against Wang Zong’an’s body, just like a young daughter snuggling up to her father.

“There, there, Yinglu, it has been hard on you staying inside the Xirang Bracelet these past days,” Wang Zong’an said indulgently, soothing the Longevity Tree “Wang Yinglu” with a gentle tone as if talking to his own child, “I will make sure to treat you to a good meal to make it up to you.”

Wang Yinglu was overjoyed, and once again, the wood-attribute spiritual energy diffused outward, making every breath feel refreshing and invigorating.

Unlike some Senior Brothers in Changchun Valley with unhealthy thoughts, Wang Zong’an had always treated the young Longevity Tree as he would a daughter.

He had even specifically reported to his father, giving her the name “Wang Yinglu,” which was officially recorded in the family registry.

Whenever he thought of those Senior Brothers with unhealthy thoughts, Wang Zong’an couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Senior Brother Jinshan.

Seeing him staring dumbfoundedly at Wang Ying, Wang Zong’an immediately became vigilant, guarding against Jinshan like he would a thief, “Senior Brother Jinshan, I have already repaid Green Fern Senior Sister’s debt for you. Given your repeated offenses, I must ask you to keep your distance from my daughter. Otherwise, I will tie you up and send you back to Senior Sister immediately.”

“Daughter?”

Senior Brother Jinshan looked at Zong’an as if he were looking at a pervert, utterly astounded. I, Jinshan, am already wretched enough, but Zong’an, you’re even more…

“Stay back ten meters!” The normally good-natured Wang Zong’an couldn’t control his volcanic outrage under such a gaze, “If you dare come within ten meters of my daughter, don’t blame me for being heartless.”

Senior Brother Jinshan’s heart trembled, and he hastily retreated more than ten meters away.

Then, Wang Zong’an began to whisper to the Longevity Tree Wang Yinglu, occasionally throwing cautionary glances at Jinshan.

His demeanor was as if he were instructing his daughter to stay far away from that wretched pervert; should he dare to approach, she should beat him without mercy, and if she couldn’t beat him, she should call for Daddy, and Daddy would come to beat him to death.

“Whoosh whoosh~”

Wang Yinglu waved her branches, giving Senior Brother Jinshan a contemptuous branch gesture from a distance.

Senior Brother Jinshan felt like crying from afar. Great Young Master Zong’an, not only did you secretly whisk away our precious treasure of Changchun Valley, but you also taught her to scorn me…

Why is my life, Jinshan, filled with nothing but tragedies?

Zong’an, oh Zong’an, as a young master with a perfect life like yourself, how could you possibly understand the bitterness and misery of my life?

In this brief interlude.

An Commandery Prince Wu Mingyuan and Little Commandery Prince Wu Shengjun had also gradually recovered from their shock.

Having visited Changchun Valley several times for this protective forest, how could they not recognize the Longevity Tree?

My goodness~~ I didn’t expect the Wang family to be so generous, to have even brought a Longevity Tree Spirit Plant.

You should know, in the whole Great Qian Land, only Longzuo’s Purple Abode Academic Palace had a Longevity Tree.

Even the Cu Wei Sect, one of the Nine Veins that outshines Changchun Valley in many regards, still falls short in this aspect.

“Very well, thank you, Young Clan Leader Zong’an, for your strong support,” An Commandery Prince said with joy sprouting in his eyebrows, bowing politely, “With the blessing of the Longevity Tree, our protective forest will be able to grow faster and the survival rate of the saplings will surely see a great improvement.”

You should know that currently, only about one-third of the newly planted saplings in the protective forest is surviving. Each section of the forest has only barely taken shape after multiple re-seedings. This Longevity Tree is indeed a huge help.

“Your Highness is too kind,” Wang Zong’an hastened to support An Commandery Prince, smiling, “Our families are relatives by marriage, so it’s only right and proper to help each other. Besides, my father has decided to support An Commandery Prince, we will do our utmost. However, Yinglu is still young, and her coverage of the Longevity canopy is small. We need to plan a route for her and set up a Spirit Stone Array in advance for her to absorb energy.”

“Spirit Stone Array?” An Commandery Prince’s expression turned serious, but he immediately said solemnly, “Alright, leave this task to me. I will think of a way to gather a batch…”

Little Commandery Prince Wu Shengjun, hearing this at the side, trembled inwardly, his face unconsciously tensing.

Though the Longevity Tree was desirable for greatly accelerating the growth of the protective forest, improving the survival rate, and hastening the formation of the oasis, it required a large investment of Spirit Stones…

Just the thought alone was enough to make Wu Shengjun feel breathless with heartache.

The current state of Commandery Prince’s Residence was such that, due to his father’s commitment to a grand ideal, they had long since spent all available funds, and had even sold many ancestral possessions.

The grand Commandery Prince’s Residence, apart from a beautiful manor, was practically reduced to an empty shell.
