Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1296: Chapter 24 Shocking! Someone Infiltrated the Wang Family (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3 Chapter 1296: Chapter 24 Shocking! Someone Infiltrated the Wang Family (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3 Immediately, the Chimei Demon Master nodded gently to Wang Anye and said, “Young friend, you are too kind. Everyone, there’s no need to be tense, my name is ‘Jiang Qingsnow’, a person of the Immortal Palace, and I am currently traveling with my disciples. I had heard about the beauty of Changning before while in the national capital of Dongqian and specially came to see it for myself.”

Her voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of an immortal being, and with her ethereal appearance, she really seemed like a lofty figure from the Immortal Palace who had come to travel.

With such an appearance and temperament, combined with her genuine Divine Power Territory strength, as long as she didn’t recklessly reveal her demonic skills, she could blend in and thrive even within the Immortal Dynasty.

Upon hearing this, the Wang family members breathed a sigh of relief, and their vigilance slightly decreased.

However, in keeping with the Wang family’s characteristic caution, they naturally would not totally let down their guard based on just a few words from her. Verbal assurances weren’t proof, and this woman’s identity still needed to be verified.

Of course, they wouldn’t show any sign of their suspicion in front of her.

“So it’s the revered Jiang,” Wang Anye said politely and respectfully with a bow, “It is our clan’s honor that you, Senior Jiang, grace our Changning Wang Clan with your presence.”

“When I glanced over from afar just now, I saw that you possess exceptional talents, a rare gem hard to find in a thousand years, and thus I was moved to take on a disciple. That is why I revealed my identity and appeared in person,” Chimei Demon Master looked at Wang Anye with admiration and spoke gently, “Would you be willing to take me as your master?”

Yuj, standing behind her, thought her master’s strategy was truly brilliant.

The reasoning was sound, the cause and effect were perfectly connected — incomparably stronger than the careless schemes of Green Ji and Zhiji.

With this smooth talk, she was afraid that the handsome young man called Wang Anye would be totally swayed.

“Take on a disciple?”

The thousands of onlooking masses were indeed having their eyes opened that day.

They had the great fortune to see something of the “Immortal Palace” and “immortals,” and now, this immortal was even here to take on Young Master Anye as a disciple!

Indeed, such was the allure of Young Master Anye that even an immortal couldn’t help but descend to accept him as a disciple!

In fact, for the vast majority of lower-level Profound Martial cultivators, what the “Immortal Palace” was, where it was, or the status of this immortal were all very vague concepts; they just knew it was all very formidable, end of story.

All they knew was that Young Master Anye was incredible, so favored by an immortal, truly worthy of being our Wang Clan’s Lil Junior Clan Leader.

“Senior’s generous affection is both overwhelming and deeply appreciated. However, I already have a master and can only disappoint your great expectations,” Wang Anye responded respectfully and politely.

“Already have a master?” Disappointment crossed Chimei Demon Master’s face, along with a hint of caution, “To miss such a fine jewel is my Jiang Qingsnow’s lack of fortune. Well then, since that is the case, I shall take my leave.”

Yuj felt a rush of urgency upon hearing this.

Master, how can you just leave like that? This is a golden opportunity to infiltrate the Wang Clan! If we can get control of the Wang Clan, our mission can be more than accomplished.

However, as Jiang Qingsnow was about to leave, Wang Anye suddenly spoke up to retain her, “Senior, please wait. You are a distinguished guest of the Immortal Palace, and it would reflect poorly on the Wang Clan if you were to leave like this.”

“I take the liberty of asking you, Senior, to visit our Wang family’s main residence and stay for a few days. I will make every effort to be a good host.”

A Cultivator of the Divine Power Territory from the Immortal Palace was also someone of significance, and Wang Anye wanted to seize the opportunity to cultivate a relationship and add some contacts for the Wang Clan. If one of the family’s younger members could become a disciple of Senior Jiang Qingsnow, that would be ideal.

Of course, if Senior Jiang Qingsnow’s identity proved to be problematic, letting her stay under the Wang Clan’s watchful eyes was safer than letting her wander around outside.

“This…” Jiang Qingsnow’s exquisite brows furrowed, seemingly hesitant, “I was planning to take my disciples on a trip overseas~” The more she responded like this, the more eagerly Wang Anye sought to persuade her to stay; even others, like Wang Shou Yong, couldn’t help but call her Senior repeatedly, urging Jiang Qingsnow to stay as their guest and suggesting that if the Senior wanted to go overseas, the Wang Clan could provide a ship to accompany.

“Under such persistent invitation,” “unable to refuse” any longer, Jiang Qingsnow finally agreed with reluctance to stay at the Wang Clan for a while.

Yuj watched in astonishment, filled with utmost respect for her master’s skills.

No wonder her Master could thrive and eventually leave the Immortal Dynasty unscathed; her grasp on human nature was truly exquisite. Even if she studied for hundreds more years, she might never grasp its essence.

From Xinping Town back to the Wang family’s main residence, the straight-line distance was only two to three hundred li. By taking the flying carriage, an hour and a half were all it took to arrive at the flying carriage station within the Wang family’s main residence.

Decades had passed and the Changning Wang Clan’s main residence had undergone a thorough rebuilding, with a complete transformation in layout.

The original main residence by Zhuwei Lake had expanded more than tenfold after renovations, and both the materials and specifications of the estate had gone up more than a notch from before.

The original main gate and the Prominent Family archway of the residence had also been moved to a location close to the Dingpu Ferry Terminal.

Wang Shuzhe, the head of the family, had strict requirements for the residences of the clan members; any residence belonging to the Direct Line or Direct Vessel had to be inside the main residence of the Wang Clan, and only one such residence could exist.

If a family member needed housing outside for work reasons, even if they lived there for decades or centuries, that would still only be considered a temporary residence. Spouses could temporarily live and reunite in these accommodations, but it was not allowed to use the temporary residence as a permanent home long-term.

Therefore, even Wang Anye, who had married two Commandery Princesses, dared not and would not contravene the explicit orders of Wang Shuzhe; their only home was the internal estate where they had been wed.
