Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1002: Chapter 55: Family Head Meets the Main Vein! Great Emperor Flies in Jealousy_2 Chapter 1002: Chapter 55: Family Head Meets the Main Vein! Great Emperor Flies in Jealousy_2 This time, it was Wang Shida’s turn to greet Wang Shouzhe first: “Shida pays respects to Great Uncle Shouzhe.”

In terms of actual age, Wang Shida was indeed thirty to forty years older than Shouzhe and his cultivation base had reached the Mid Stage of the Heavenly Human Realm. However, Shouzhe held a higher generational rank.

Nobody in the “Shi” generational rank, regardless of actual age, should call those in the “Shou” rank anything other than ‘grandfather’.

Typically, one would address the other clearly by which ‘Grandfather’ they are, but in cases of being of the same clan but different families, and when it’s not clear what the exact seniority is, terms like “Grandfather Shouzhe” are also correct.

“Shida, don’t be so courteous; you’re much older than Shouzhe. Just call me Shouzhe,” Wang Shouzhe hurriedly helped him up, saying.

“Great Uncle, please do not humble Shida so,” Wang Shida, startled, paled considerably, quickly standing straight to decline politely.

Behind him stood a host of old ancestors; if he dared to act too familiarly with Great Uncle, he was sure to get beaten to death.

He swiftly changed the subject, “Great Uncle, allow me to introduce. This is my son Annan. You little rascal, what are you zoning out for? Hurry over and greet the Grand Elder.”

To divert attention, he even kicked Wang An Nan in the rear.

Wang An Nan, kicked off balance, hurriedly bowed deeply to Wang Shouzhe: “Annan pays his respects to Grand Elder.”

Meanwhile, his heart was filled with sorrow.

Since Grand Aunt Li Yao appeared, his, Wang An Nan’s, status within the family had plummeted—from the ‘Future Hope’ of Ding Duke’s Mansion, the Qilin Kid in the ancestors’ eyes, the proud son often boasted about by his father.

Suddenly, he became a scourge, a little rascal…

“Annan, please rise. I have indeed heard of your exploits; you are quite a famed young expert in Return to Dragon City.” After helping him up, Wang Shouzhe pulled out a red envelope and handed it over, “Keep cultivating diligently and strive to enter the Purple Abode Realm soon.”

Red envelopes were not to be given lightly, usually reserved for unmarried younger family members—children. Wang An Nan, known for his playfulness, wasn’t thinking of marrying yet, which made it appropriate for Shouzhe to give one. It would have been inappropriate if he was married.

“Thank you, Grand Elder, for your encouragement.”

With a red envelope to take, Wang An Nan’s mood improved considerably.

However, before his red envelope even warmed up, Wang Shida had pulled him aside and confiscated it.

He sneakily opened a corner and quickly glanced inside. His face immediately turned grave, and he promptly communicated a few messages to Master Yuchang.

The reason being that Shouzhe’s red envelope contained a stack of Purple Gold Notes, roughly ten in number…

Not surprisingly, a Purple Gold Note-filled envelope was considered abundant for someone in the Spiritual Platform Realm, but for a young genius of the Sky People Realm, it appeared rather modest.

Even Master Yuchang’s expression became a bit awkward. Previously, Big Heavenlies Proud from both the Changning Wang Clan and Zong’an had visited the Ding Duke’s Mansion.

Zong’an, although young, had married very early and already had many descendants, naturally ineligible for a red envelope, which would rather be for his issue. But for Li Yao, Master Yuchang had resolutely given a red envelope supplemented by ten Purple Gold Notes.

At that time, it seemed a generous gesture, but compared to what Shouzhe offered… it felt somewhat insufficient.

Wang An Nan, that little rascal, how could he compare to Li Yao?

“Elder members of the family, allow me to introduce as well,” Wang Shouzhe, pulling along Anye, said, “This is my great-grandson, Wang Anye. Anye, come and greet the old ancestors quickly.”

Wang Anye immediately greeted everyone respectfully: “Anye pays his respects to Old Ancestor Yuchang, Old Ancestor Chenping, Old Ancestor Lingzhu… Uncle Shida, brother Annan.”

“Oh, this must be Anye, he’s grown quite handsome,” Master Yuchang said, all smiles while he praised. At the same time, he stealthily took control of the red envelope mentioned by Shida.

He then swapped the shell, adding the five Purple Gold Notes originally meant for Anye, and jovially handed over the red envelope: “What a talented young man Anye is, so young yet already possessing Grandfather Shouzhe’s gentlemanly demeanor…”

He was praised unabatedly.

It was unavoidable, Wang Anye’s status was special.

He was the fiancé of the Little Princess Yiluo. Once the An Commandery Prince assumed his position, Anye would be the proper prince consort.

Moreover, Little Princess Yiluo carried the Azure Dragon bloodline, deeply cherished by the emperor, destined to be groomed as a Great Heavenly Proud. Even if the An Commandery Prince ultimately did not succeed in his rise, Little Princess Yiluo, with her bloodline, would eventually be titled a princess. By then, as long as Anye was willing to relinquish his title as heir of the Wang family, he would naturally become another prince consort.

“Thank you, Old Ancestor Yuchang,” Wang Anye politely accepted the red envelope after getting a nod from his great grandfather.

However, Wang An Nan was dumbfounded nearby.

His ten Purple Gold Notes red envelope, without even a chance to glance at it, was gone like that! At least let him touch it a couple of times~~!!

“Elder members of the family, this is my granddaughter Wang Ying Xuan,” Wang Shouzhe continued to introduce, “Ying Xuan, don’t just stand there.”

Although Wang Ying Xuan was young, she was daring by nature and naturally would not be intimidated by the occasion.

She immediately stepped forward, aptly performing the greetings: “Ying Xuan pays her respects to Old Ancestor Yuchang… brother Shida, nephew Annan.”

Her voice was crisp and clear, resounding with the vigor of a young female general.

She naturally drew praises from all the old ancestors and elders, except for Wang An Nan who was perplexed and speechless. Having a ten-year-old brother Anye was already enough, and now there was even a young aunt?
