Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1601: Chapter 100 Wang Shouzhe! Just Kill Me Already_4

If placed in a First Grade family of the Immortal Dynasty, he could easily become one of the successors of the entire family.

In terms of handling family affairs, maturity, and capability, Wang Anru far surpasses them by leaps and bounds. At the very least, Wang Anru never behaves like a carefree son of privilege.

“By the way.” Wang Shouzhe suddenly remembered something as he sipped his tea. “Do you know about Emperor Zi’an’s son, Sheng Commandery Prince, planning to head to Beizhou for marriage seeking?”

Wang Anru froze for a moment before replying, “This matter, Ru’er has indeed heard of it. I’ve heard that the Beizhou Princess Luo Jia is exceptionally talented and is currently seeking a husband within the Immortal Dynasty’s allied forces. Great Grandfather, what is your intention?”

“This time, you should also make a trip to Beizhou,” Wang Shouzhe instructed.

“What?” Wang Anru exclaimed in surprise and excitement. “Great Grandfather, this is absolutely unacceptable. Ru’er has been married for years, with numerous descendants already. Besides, I’ve heard that Princess Luo Jia is twenty years older than me. I cannot let my wife down. But if Great Grandfather forces me…”

“What nonsense are you thinking?” Wang Shouzhe glared at him impatiently, interrupting. “I’m simply asking you to accompany Sheng Commandery Prince to Beizhou and assist him in winning the favor of the beauty. This is undoubtedly a matter where the benefits to our Da Qian far outweigh the disadvantages.”

Wang Anru wiped the sweat from his forehead in shock, feeling utterly disinterested, and said tearfully, “Great Grandfather, I’m very busy managing the Green Luo Guard; I really do not want to go.”

“I just happened to think of it,” Wang Shouzhe said leisurely. “The main reason is Emperor Zi’an’s request, insisting that our Wang family sends two outstanding young members to support the occasion.”

“In that case, Ru’er does have some candidates in mind,” Wang Anru perked up and began shifting responsibility. “They’re ten times more suitable than Ru’er.”

“Let’s hear it,” Wang Shouzhe said, showing some interest.

“One of them is my twenty-first brother, Wang Anyuan.” Wang Anru began recommending, “Don’t be fooled by Anyuan’s low-key demeanor. Though he has just turned a hundred, his cultivation base has already reached Level Eight of the Heavenly Human Realm. He possesses a rare Geng Metal Bloodline, specializing in swordsmanship, and is quite remarkable.”

“Anyuan.” Wang Shouzhe nodded approvingly. “He’s a child from my second brother, Shouyi’s lineage. His bloodline and abilities are indeed outstanding. By the way, I remember that lad hasn’t married yet, right?”

“Twenty-first brother is obsessed with swordsmanship and is still lingering in the High Clan School without graduating. Previously, when the family urged him to marry, he claimed he wouldn’t marry until he reached the Heavenly Human Realm. Then he said he wouldn’t marry until he attained Purple Abode. I think he’s intentionally shirking his responsibilities, unwilling to contribute to the family.” Wang Anru thoroughly sold his twenty-first brother, “Why not let him go to Beizhou to broaden his horizons? Maybe he could even bring back a Beizhou Prominent Family’s daughter-in-law with him.”

“Humph, not marrying is out of the question. I almost fell for his tricks.” Wang Shouzhe’s face darkened as he nodded in agreement. “Anru, who’s the other candidate?”

“The other one is the third sibling of the Ning generation, Wang Ningyu, who’s two years older than twenty-first brother.” Wang Anru continued.

“Ah, you’re recommending Ningyu?” Wang Shouzhe nodded approvingly. “He belongs to my eldest brother Shouxin’s lineage. I recall he’s the third person in our Wang family to awaken the Ice Phoenix Bloodline? Even Old Ancestor Longyan views him with special regard.”

“More than just special regard. I heard Old Ancestor has even passed down one of her surplus Divine Spirit Treasure Swords to Wang Ningyu.” Wang Anru continued selling his nephew thoroughly, “That lad acts as lofty as snow, constantly looking down on others. It’s said that Grand Elder himself arranged several matchmaking plans for him, but he ruined them all.”

“Fine, this matter is up to you then.” Wang Shouzhe ordered sternly, “Inform those two ungrateful brats that their mission is to accompany Sheng Commandery Prince to Beizhou. Firstly, to help him win the princess. Secondly, to display their talents and bring back two Beizhou brides themselves.”

“Great Grandfather is wise.” Wang Anru flattered, “If our Wang family establishes a marital alliance with Beizhou Prominent Families, our Green Luo Guard Fleet could engage in extensive trade with Beizhou in the future.”

After delivering his praise, Wang Anru bade farewell to Great Grandfather and promptly arranged a banquet at the Xinping Town tavern, inviting Wang Anyuan and Wang Ningyu to dine.

Inside the private room of the tavern.

The two young elites of the Wang family respectfully greeted Wang Anru, “Greetings, Tenth Brother/Tenth Uncle.”

Wang Anru, despite being from the direct lineage, counted only as a collateral direct descendant. Nevertheless, as a high-ranking figure managing the Green Luo Guard, he naturally stood miles above these two academic underachievers who haven’t yet graduated from the High Clan School.

“Anyuan, Ningyu, no need for formalities.” Wang Anru amiably patted his younger brother and nephew on their shoulders. “We’re all family, just sit down and talk.”

Wang Anyuan and Wang Ningyu breathed a slight sigh of relief, respectfully taking their seats while toasting and dining with Wang Anru.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere between them became much more relaxed.

“Anyuan, Ningyu.” Wang Anru spoke earnestly, “This time, I’ve secured an excellent task for you in front of Great Grandfather.”

“Tenth Brother/Tenth Uncle, please instruct.” The two straightened their postures solemnly.

“You are to accompany Sheng Commandery Prince on his diplomatic mission to Beizhou, support his efforts to win Princess Luo Jia’s favor,” Wang Anru stated seriously. “However, that’s merely the secondary task. The primary task, as commanded by Great Grandfather, is for each of you to showcase your talents and marry brides yourselves. The targets are Beizhou Imperial Household’s eligible Commandery Princesses. To broaden the scope, any unmarried Commandery Princesses under 250 years old will do.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Anyuan and Wang Ningyu felt as if struck by lightning, tears almost spilling out. Tenth Brother/Tenth Uncle, do you really have to be so ruthless?

We’re only just over a hundred years old, still naïve students who haven’t graduated from High Clan School yet. We don’t want to marry so soon!
