Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1487: Chapter 72: Being Too Handsome is Also a Trouble

…

“Miss Ji, greetings.” Wang Anye also stood up, returning the greeting gracefully, “I am Wang Anye from the Wang’s family in Dongqian Changning of East Qian Country, it’s a pleasure to meet Miss Ji.”

Ever since Wang Anye arrived in the Immortal Dynasty, this wasn’t his first time being approached.

Being exceedingly handsome can also be a kind of trouble.

However, as the saying goes, one doesn’t slap a smiling face. When someone approaches courteously and politely, it’s appropriate to respond. After all, being out and about, it’s better to have more connections than enemies.

For descendants of Prominent Families, expanding their knowledge and connections while roaming the world is also very important.

Wang’s family in Dongqian Changning?

Jiqianqian pondered, naturally she had not heard this name before.

In fact, she had only heard about East Qian Country, as for what famous Prominent Families exist in East Qian Country, she practically knew nothing, let alone a suffix of Changning that followed.

“So it is Master Anye.” Seeing it was a Prominent Family she did not know, Jiqianqian was not disappointed but replied very courteously, “Speaking of which, this is my first time meeting a friend from East Qian Country. If Master visits Chaoyang State, I could offer you some advice. Besides, besides being a disciple of the Immortal Palace, I am also a descendant of the Chaoyang Ji Clan.”

“Chaoyang Ji Clan?” Wang Anye was slightly startled.

Unexpectedly coincidental, it turned out to be a clan from his Master’s bloodline.

Before Wang Anye could react further, Ji Wuchen was the first to become agitated: “Anye, quick, ask her which branch of the Ji family she belongs to? She bears some resemblance to my wife in my younger days, Fu Hongye.”

Ji Wuchen’s wife Fu Hongye fell in battle in the Immortal Demon Battlefield, slain by Chao Qiubo. To avenge his wife, Ji Wuchen embarked on an assassination mission to the Demonic Dynasty, and although he fortuitously succeeded, he also perished and became a Sword Spirit.

But he still had descendants in the Immortal Dynasty, a fact well known to both him and Anye.

“Master, don’t rush. Who inquires about someone’s ancestors right off the bat?”

Wang Anye comforted Ji Wuchen, then smiled warmly and kindly at Jiqianqian, “If Miss Jiqianqian does not mind, why don’t we sit down and chat for a bit? I also wish to learn more about the local customs of Chaoyang State from Miss Jiqianqian.”

After Jiqianqian blushed slightly and agreed.

Wang Anye then had the leftovers cleared away, and arranged for a fresh delicious meal, then sat down to dine with Jiqianqian.

After some casual conversation, they became much more familiar with each other.

Wang Anye then casually mentioned, “Previously in Dongqian, I had the fortune to admire a painting by Master Ji, the ‘Painting of the Divine Dynasty Twilight’. This painting is grand and atmospheric, yet carries a desolate sense of the end of just a generation of the Divine Dynasty, truly a divine masterpiece. During my travels in Chaoyang State, I plan to visit the former residence of Master Ji.”

“Painting of the Divine Dynasty Twilight?” Jiqianqian’s expression suddenly turned complex, and she hesitated with her words, seemingly torn.

“Miss Jiqianqian, being born into the Ji clan, could it be that you are a descendant of Master Ji?” Wang Anye asked, feigning nonchalance.

“This… Master Anye, I won’t hide it from you,” Jiqianqian bit her lips lightly, her expression grew somber as she spoke of this matter, “The Master Ji you mentioned is indeed my ancestor. However, that ‘Painting of the Divine Dynasty Twilight’… alas, it’s an ancestral treasure, and as descendants, we should have kept it safe, but due to our Ji clan’s decline, in order to nurture outstanding descendants of our own, we had no choice but to sell many ancestral treasures, it’s somewhat disgraceful to admit.”

“Ah, my apologies, my apologies, it was Wang Mou who spoke out of turn,” Wang Anye bowed in apology.

“It’s alright—” Jiqianqian waved her hands, her eyes filled with resolve, “Great clans are like ocean tides, they rise and fall. Thanks to Master, at least Jiqianqian knows that our family’s ancestral treasure has ended up in East Qian Country. Once I earn enough money later on, I plan to buy back the ancestral treasures at a high price from Dongqian.”

“Um…”

Wang Anye’s expression twisted, hesitating whether he should tell her that the painting was actually already…

“This girl, she does have some of my past elegance,” Ji Wuchen didn’t mind these details, still immersed in the excitement of meeting his descendant, he was quite pleased with Jiqianqian’s performance, eagerly instructing his beloved disciple, “Anye, spend more time chatting with her.”

“Yes, Master.”

Seeing his Master finally reuniting with his bloodline descendants, Wang Anye naturally wouldn’t refuse this request.

However, to avoid any misunderstanding, he specifically mentioned in the conversation that he already had two beloved wives, and even had grandchildren.

Jiqianqian didn’t expect people from Dongqian to marry so early.

In the Immortal Dynasty, while it was common for those with lower qualifications, talented individuals with high potential often would not marry easily, and even when getting married, they are extremely selective, with many still unmarried even in their two or three hundreds.

Moreover, the more talented the individuals, generally the later they marry.

Especially the princesses of the Immortal Dynasty, many remained unmarried even after reaching the Divine Power Territory.

After all, the higher the talent, the faster the cultivation speed. The qualifications of princesses of the Immortal Dynasty are of the Unparalleled Heavenly Child level, typically reaching the Celestial Being status before thirty. After reaching the Heavenly Human Realm, the likelihood of conception drastically decreases, so marrying a few years earlier or later doesn’t make much difference; most princesses simply take more time to choose carefully, seeking a more suitable consort.

As for a disciple of the Immortal Palace like Jiqianqian, she broke through to the seventh layer of the Heavenly Human Realm at just around one hundred and fifty years old, and among the multitude of disciples in the Immortal Palace, she is considered a flourishing young lady still.
