Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1003: Chapter 55: Family Head Meets the Main Vein! Great Emperor Flies in Jealousy_3 Chapter 1003: Chapter 55: Family Head Meets the Main Vein! Great Emperor Flies in Jealousy_3 “Annan, my dear nephew, I’m ranked twenty-first in the family, so you can call me Aunt Twenty-One.” Wang Ying Xuan, cunning despite her young age, patronizingly patted the shoulder of the bowing Wang An Nan and said, “I heard that you were disgraced in Shangjing City after being beaten by Aunt Liyao? Don’t worry, from now on, your Auntie Twenty-One will take care of you. Once I grow up a bit more, I’ll take you with me to sweep through the Imperial Capital.”

Wang An Nan and all the elders were stunned.

This pretty little girl is only ten or eleven years old, right? Isn’t she getting a bit carried away with her talk?

“Wang Ying Xuan!” Wang Shouzhe said with a dark face, “What did I tell you? Don’t bring your bad habits to the Imperial Capital. Annan, although he is your junior, is still much older than you.”

“Yes, Grandfather.”

Wang Ying Xuan pouted, appearing aggrieved on the surface and complying readily, but she muttered under her breath. Aren’t I just looking out for him because he seems quite agreeable, wanting to support him a bit?

Having said that, Wang Shouzhe helplessly apologized and explained, “Esteemed elders, our Ying Xuan is a bit… it’s hard to describe in a few words… Anyway, after taking her to Shangjing City to broaden her horizons, we’re planning to send her to the Sacred Land.”

“To the Sacred Land?” Master Yuchang suddenly saw Wang Ying Xuan with new respect, scrutinizing her and saying, “The child has a decent foundation. She’s already at the Qi Refinement Realm Level Four. Shouzhe, which vein of the Nine Veins in the Sacred Land are you planning to send her to?”

“Why don’t the child come with me to the vein of LuLi Ming Wang’s Hall?” Elder Lingzhu said happily, “With Shouzhe’s child here, her talent should be at least Innate Secondary Quality. If we could invite Master Changchun, who specializes in healing, as her protector, one Marrow-cleansing Spirit Pill along with one Treasure Pill would easily break through her bloodline to Top Grade Class B.”

The Treasure Pill had a fierce effect on improving bloodlines. It was best used when one’s bloodline had reached a double layer and was at the Spiritual Platform Realm, otherwise, it was very likely to backfire.

However, if it were used later on, the effect would be greatly diminished, so if there was an elder to support, it was possible to digest it reluctantly even with a single-layer bloodline.

“This…” Wang Shouzhe laughed helplessly, “I’m afraid Lingzhu will be disappointed; Ying Xuan has already been reserved in advance.”

“Pre-booked?” Wang Lingzhu’s expression became faintly distressed, “Which vein of the Sacred Land exactly? Are there any members of our Wang family there to look after her? Shouzhe, you’re too hasty. If this matter had been discussed beforehand, we would have many options.”

After all, the Great Qian Wang Clan was a Third-Class Aristocratic Family. Even though it was no longer as glorious as in the past, the number of Purple Abode Realm and Tiaren Realm Cultivators in the clan was not small. Just within the various veins of the Sacred Land, there were a total of five Purple Abode Realm cultivators, one of whom served as the vice dean within the Tianfu County Purple Abode Academic Palace.

If it were not for the Sacred Land’s restrictions on the quotas for the top-class families and their unwillingness to cultivate the Great Heavenly Proud together, the Wang family might have sent several more in, and would even try to co-cultivate the Great Heavenly Proud with the Sacred Land.

The Academic Palace Sacred Land preferred to select promising scions with excellent bloodlines from middle and low-ranking families and then cultivate them with care. Thus, the Sacred Land could maintain its superlative status without being gradually controlled by powerful families.

For example, “Jiang Zhencang,” the current master of the Sacred Land, came from the Tianfu Jiang Family.

The Jiang family was once Rank Six but rose to prominence because Jiang Zhencang had a strong bloodline, exceptional talent, admirable character, and outstanding opportunities. He emerged victoriously from among several Quasi Sacred Sons to obtain the position of the Sacred Son and eventually succeeded as the master of the Sacred Land.

However, even as the master of the Sacred Land, Jiang Zhencang could not wantonly bestow benefits upon the Jiang family. At most, during his tenure, the Jiang family’s status would be extremely aloof, and no one would dare to provoke them.

Furthermore, their business dealings would also become smoother, as no one dared to cheat them.

Therefore, the Jiang family gradually rose from Rank Six to a Rank Four Prominent Family, but that’s where their progress halted. Over time, the Jiang family became increasingly complacent and unpopular locally. They were merely maintaining appearances based on the reputation of their ancestor “Jiang Zhencang.”

In fact, the current Tianfu Jiang Family was already too many generations removed from Jiang Zhencang, and due to their own lack of ambition, they haven’t produced any remarkable talents in recent generations. They also haven’t left a good impression on the Sacred Master, leading to a very distant relationship.

Additionally, one of the highly favored candidates for the next Quasi Sacred Son is Gong Yang Ce, from a minor family.

Wang Liyao of the Wang family also comes from a minor family.

However, if Wang Liyao managed to secure the position of the Sacred Master, the Wang family wouldn’t need her to break rules to bring benefits to the Wang clan. What the Wang family needed more was for her to be a stable support. As long as their business could be conducted properly, without attracting envy or harassment from others, that would be enough.

Thus, the Wang family could calmly develop and grow stronger.

With Wang Shouzhe’s ability to make money, why bother desperately trying to poach talents from the Sacred Land?

While the Wang family elders were feeling regretful, Wang Shouzhe coughed twice and said helplessly, “Actually, Ying Xuan has already been reserved by ‘Sacred Master’ Jiang…”

“What?”

Everyone from the Wang family was collectively shocked, looking utterly disheveled.

The Sacred Master wasn’t just the guardian of the Sacred Land but also the protector of Great Qian; extending further out, he was also one of the protectors of the Human race!
