Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 921: Chapter 37 The True Foundation of the Family’s Growth and Expansion! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_4 Chapter 921: Chapter 37 The True Foundation of the Family’s Growth and Expansion! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_4 “Do you know what kind of status the Sacred Master of Lingyun Holy Ground holds? In Da Qian, they’re the only one who can sit on an equal footing with the Great Emperor,” Zhao Xiqing said, shooting her an annoyed look. “Such a person, even in the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty, can walk sideways with impunity.”

“I know, I know, the Transcendent Void Realm is really strong,” Wang Licui said earnestly, picking up the roasted dragon meat and biting into it voraciously once again. “Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be confident about suppressing Fourth Uncle, the Great Demon King.”

“…”

In Zhao Xiqing’s eyes, not only does the master of Lingyun Holy Ground need to have an exceptional cultivation base, but they must also shoulder the significant responsibility of assisting the Great Emperor in protecting Da Qian.

If this lazy girl really became the master of the Sacred Land, our Da Qian might just be ruined.

Although she wasn’t in Da Qian, she still had a lot of affection for it. At that moment, she really wanted to snatch the dragon meat from Wang Licui’s hands, lest she end up supporting the enemy.

…

Ping’an Town.

This is a miraculous place.

In just seventy years, it has undergone earth-shattering changes.

Many of the common folk, the elderly who lived through it all, caught up with a good era. They earned substantial fortunes, married, had children, and continued their lineage. Despite a life of hardship, it was all worthwhile.

Through hard work, they fought out a wealth that generations before them couldn’t have amassed.

Retired elders, while playing with their grandchildren, couldn’t help but boast about their accomplishments, saying things like “I built the embankment of Ping’an Town,” or “I participated in the construction of Shouzhe Pass,” and so on.

But what these elders cared about even more was whether their children had made something of themselves.

As the Wang family’s industries grew ever more powerful, holding key positions within them was no longer something you could achieve simply with passion, unlike decades before.

With the continual expansion of Wang Family School, and village schools popping up one after another everywhere, basic education has essentially become widespread within the Wang family’s territories.

The domestic servants of the Wang Clan Main Residence, as well as the hiring standards for all major clan industries, have been clearly stated: starting from the year 3215 in the Great Qian Longchang Calendar, completion of eight years of Wang Clan’s compulsory education has become a mandatory requirement.

This is a line that cannot be crossed.

As for the elite managers, or high-level technicians, they need to take exams for Wang Family’s Clan School and go through specialized training and assessments in the relevant fields.

If their performance is outstanding, they might be included in Wang family’s intensive training program, even to the extent of consuming precious Enlightenment Pills or Blood Refining Pills to train them into Profound Martial cultivators, with the potential to become cultivators of the Spiritual Platform Realm in the future.

With that, they could leap over the dragon gate, moving from commoners straight up into the clouds, becoming cultivators held in high esteem. If they had the opportunity to reach the Spiritual Platform Realm, that would be an even more incredible feat.

You should know, in those ordinary Rank 9 Prominent Families outside, it’s the family’s Old Ancestor who is at the Spiritual Platform Realm.

Unconsciously, the importance placed on education has penetrated deep into the bones of all Wang family’s subordinate commoners. In their homes, children who do well in studies are doted upon, while those who perform poorly inevitably face their parents’ reprimands and beatings.

After all, if you’re not good at studying, you’re only destined to be at the bottom for life.

And if there’s a child who can get into the main campus of Wang Family’s Pearl Clover Academy—Zhuwei Academy—that’s something to be truly proud of.

Being able to enter any of the major Refining Tool Elite Classes is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate; they could even study alongside the Wang Family’s Direct Line and Direct Vessel heirs from a young age.

Old Sun.

An utterly ordinary old man.

When his parents were young, they encountered a severe flood and fled all the way to Changning Fort, where they were fortunate to be taken in by the Wang family, avoiding a fate of constant displacement.

During those most difficult times, his parents had taken part in river dredging, embankment reinforcement, and terraced fields development, even living in a temporary shelter for a while. But they didn’t find it hard. Instead, they found every day meaningful, full of hope for the future.

Because the Wang family was truly different from other Prominent Families and clans; they actually regarded the common people as human beings.

On Wang family’s lands, there had never been instances of deducting wages or bullying of commoners. Even if a manager dared to act up, they would be caught and punished according to clan rules right away. Hence, within the Wang family’s territory, commoners always felt an extraordinary sense of security.

And even the weakest refugees, as long as they were willing to work, could earn enough to fill their bellies, promising a future to look forward to.

Through work, his parents met and married. As they saved money through hard work, they also took out a loan from Wang Clan Bank to buy a cement house developed by Wang Family’s own construction, and soon after, Old Sun was born. That’s how his family took root and settled in Ping’an Town.

Today, Old Sun’s parents are long gone, and Old Sun himself has aged.

But the proudest achievement of his life is not the multiple houses he has accumulated in the invaluable Ping’an Town, nor is it the newly developed hundred-acre courtyard in Xin An Town. It’s the fact that among his many children and grandchildren, one managed to get into the Refining Tool Elite Class of Wang Clan’s Pearl Clover Academy—Sun Xiaole.

Just because of this, Old Sun walks out with his head held high and his chest puffed out whenever he strolls around.

Seeing him, all his old buddies are full of envy and warmth, flattering and supporting him at every turn.

Who can blame them? Old Sun’s ancestral grave is clearly blessed with good fortune, having a grandson like Sun Xiaole who got into an elite class.
