Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 925: Chapter 38: Expansion! Prosperity! The Fundamental Growth of the Wang Family (Request for Monthly Votes)_2 Chapter 925: Chapter 38: Expansion! Prosperity! The Fundamental Growth of the Wang Family (Request for Monthly Votes)_2 Outside Shouzhe Pass, there were countless vast heavens and earth, but also terrifying fierce beasts. For someone who had always lived in the safety of human towns since childhood, this was a rather unfamiliar territory, and the environment where one could encounter a fierce beast at any moment made him feel uneasy.

But when he remembered the mission he was carrying, Sun Xiaole’s heart calmed down.

Before coming, he had already understood what he needed to do.

This time, the Wang family was lucky in their expansion beyond their domain; they had discovered a rare copper ore belt, and the reserves were not low. However, to extract the copper ore and directly transport it back to the Wang Clan’s Artifact Refining Headquarters for smelting was not suitable either in terms of cost or the impact it would cause.

One must know, the value of copper ore was much higher than that of iron ore, it was a piece of fat meat dripping with wealth, and if the noise made was too great, it was hard to ensure that it wouldn’t attract covetous attention.

Therefore, Vice President Wang Shichuan sent Sun Xiaole to oversee the construction of a basic copper refining workshop. They would then gradually scale up operations, smelting the copper ore on site into fine copper before transporting it back to the Wang family.

Sun Xiaole was a top talent and a graduate of the Refining Tool Elite Class. He was smart, eager to learn, and had a stable personality.

Although he was still young and lacked some experience, after the start of the large-scale expansion beyond the domain, all the talent that the Wang family had cultivated over the years had already been put to use, and they were now stretched thin. Therefore, reserve talents like Sun Xiaole also had to be pushed into action ahead of time, letting him grow while on the job.

There were also other caravans similar to Sun Xiaole’s team.

Under the overall coordination of the Wang family, camps were being established one after another beyond their domain. The fierce beasts around these camps had already been selectively cleared, marking out safe zones. Waves of civilians were sent into the camps to remove weeds, rocks, and trees, level the ground, dig trenches, and toil for the future homes they were building.

The human race, as a group, never lacked resilience.

It was because of this spirit of overcoming obstacles and the ingrained earnestness and diligence that they grew and flourished bit by bit. Emperor Ziwei Xuandu was so, as were the ancestors of the Longzuo Wang family, and so was the old ancestor of Zhou Xuan’s Ping’an.

Compared to the ancestors, including Wang Shouzhe, the younger generation of the clan was not much inferior. They too had their full share of passion, never shying from hardship or fatigue, not only carving out the Wang family’s current grandeur but also laying a better foundation for their descendants.

It was the same for the Wang family, the minor Prominent Families, the commoners, and the tenant farmers.

The caravan led by Sun Xiaole had been traveling for almost twenty days before they finally arrived at their destination—Copper Mountain District. Along the way, the journey was fraught with danger, and they even encountered an attack by a pack of wild wolves.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Wang Family caravan were formidable, ensuring the safety of the group and slaughtering the pack of wolves.

They were not the first team to arrive in the Copper Mountain District. The Wang family’s vanguard clearance team, survey team, mining team, and even the construction team from the Wang family’s first build had already left their footprints here. They had barely opened up a dirt road, built temporary camps, and even dug the ditches for water extraction.

The conditions were tough, but during the great pioneering period, whose conditions were not difficult?

Wang ShiKai, a scion of the Wang family’s direct line, was also fighting on the front lines in the Copper Mountain District. Despite being very busy, he still took the time to greet Sun Xiaole, clapping him heartily on the shoulder and saying, “You must be my sister JingLei’s classmate, Sun Xiaole? Work hard here, and if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me for a solution.”

Wang ShiKai, 25 years old this year, ranked twelfth in the “Shi” generation, was indeed Wang JingLei’s older brother. He was also a handsome and valiant man, inheriting the Wang family’s tradition of good-looking men and women, though he had become somewhat tanned from years of working outdoors.

This added even more to his robust and hearty demeanor.

“Twelfth Young Master, I will definitely work hard and not let down the cultivation of the Wang family,” Sun Xiaole also said, having grown up listening to stories of the Wang family at home and feeling grateful in his heart.

If it hadn’t been for the Wang family’s support during that great flood, how could the Sun family be enjoying such good days now?

“Very well, once you achieve some success, I will pick out a nice girl from the collateral bloodlines of a few in-law families to propose marriage for you,” Wang ShiKai encouraged him heartily.

“Thank you, Twelfth Young Master.”

Sun Xiaole felt a pang in his heart, but he was also crystal clear that there was an insurmountable gulf between him and the goddess of his dreams, JingLei.

With JingLei’s talent and level of cultural cultivation, even marrying into a simple 7th Rank Celestial being’s direct line of a Prominent Family would be a disadvantage for her. Only a Rank Six direct line was barely worthy of her.

Moreover, with the Wang family’s powerful development, marrying into a direct line of a Fifth Grade family was highly possible. After all, in the bloodline of JingLei’s grandfather, Old Ancestor Shu Yong, there were three individuals of Sky Pride, making their bloodline as noble as that of any Fifth Grade direct line, if not more so.

From then on, Sun Xiaole settled down and immersed himself actively into his work. At the same time, he resolved to dutifully adhere to his responsibilities, intending to properly marry an earnest girl with whom he could share mutual support and affection in a few years.

Those beautiful memories would be kept forever in the deepest part of his heart. When he was old, he could occasionally take them out and reminisce about his life.

Sun Xiaole was just one of many young people like him who graduated from the Wang Family School’s Zhuwei Academy every year.

Based on their specialty, academic performance, and potential, they would be carefully cultivated and integrated into the vast Wang Industry Group, to shine their light and warmth, becoming the enduring foundation of the Wang clan.
