Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1889: Chapter 170: Digging at the Wang Family’s Walls Is No Easy Task

“That’s kind of bad, I’ve stopped reading romance novels, let alone pirated ones.” Wang Lilong sighed, “If he keeps this up, he’ll never find a girlfriend.”

“Exactly.” Wang Xuanwei shook her head, “I also heard that he went to Beizhou Country for matchmaking a while ago and was also rejected.”

As they exchanged words, Sheng Commandery Prince’s face turned red and then white, wishing he could find a hole to hide in. He hurriedly defended himself, “I failed in matchmaking in Beizhou mainly because your Wang Shouye was causing trouble. Besides, Duchess of Luo Jia never planned to get married. This has nothing to do with me reading pirated booklets.”

“Look, Grand Aunt, he can’t even compete with Great Grandfather…” Wang Xuanwei said.

“Indeed, it’s a bit hard to swallow.” Wang Lilong sympathetically agreed.

“This…” Sheng Commandery Prince was sweating profusely and couldn’t stay any longer. He quickly started recruiting. With a wave of his hand, his staff officer immediately took out a loudspeaker and shouted, “All students passing by, take a look, the Daqian Court School Recruitment Fair is starting. Our top preference is outstanding elites who have been approved to graduate from high clan schools this year.”

“I have a list of this year’s graduates. The top three students, as long as they apply and join the Daqian Court system, will immediately receive a fifth-grade official position. After a three-year transition period, they can directly serve as [Acting County Guardian]. Half of the resources needed for cultivation to the Purple Abode Realm and future Divine Power Territory will be provided by the Daqian Court. Once reaching the Purple Abode Realm, they can take on the [Acting County Guardian] position.”

This treatment is indeed top-notch.

Many onlookers were a bit surprised; the court was determined to recruit people.

The staff officer was proudly confident. With such benefits, none of the top three graduates would escape, even if one of them was from the Wang family.

“Wait!” said Onlooker A, “The benefits are good, but aren’t the top three graduates from higher clan schools all Great Heavenly Proud? They’ve probably already signed contracts for resources, right?”

“We are, of course, aware they are Great Heavenly Proud.” The staff officer said, “Existing contracts are not an issue; our Daqian Court will compensate for any losses.”

“Seems interesting.” A young elite in white appeared, “But now graduates get to choose, too. I need to test your abilities; I don’t want to work with a bunch of fools in the future.”

“Ah, isn’t this Ji Siwu of the Ji family in Longzuo, one of the top twenty from higher clan schools? I heard his overall score in this graduation exam ranked in the top three, truly talented in both literature and martial arts.”

“The Ji family in Longzuo is ambitious, not only accelerating their impact on Fourth Grade families but also plotting for Third Grade. If he joins the Daqian Court, reaching the Divine Power Territory is certain.”

Ji Siwu! He was a key target for recruitment. Sheng Commandery Prince’s spirit was rejuvenated, “Please, Master Ji, enlighten us.”

“This test paper contains some easy questions from the higher clan school graduation exams.” Ji Siwu handed over several papers, “Your Highness and your staff can test your level.”

“This…” Sheng Commandery Prince looked troubled. He knew somewhat of the difficulties of the Wang Family School.

“On a 100-point scale, only 60 points are needed to pass.” Ji Siwu smiled, “Then I’ll join the court.”

However, his staff were confidently saying, “Just some easy questions for points.” With that, they set up tables and chairs and looked at the test papers.

“Uh…” The staff looked at the papers and were dumbfounded; the entire paper was filled with incomprehensible formulas and symbols. Some words they could read, but together it was all gibberish.

An incense stick duration later, they shamefully bowed to Sheng Commandery Prince, “Your Highness, we are useless.”

“Tsk.” Ji Siwu reclaimed the papers, with disdain at the corners of his mouth, “Ashamed to associate with you.”

“Wait, aren’t our conditions tempting enough for you?” Sheng Commandery Prince hurried to retain him, “If the terms aren’t sufficient, we can discuss. You should know I’m not just a Commandery Prince; I’m the son of Emperor Zi’an.”

“The conditions only look decent.” Ji Siwu sneered, “However, the terms offered by Rich aren’t any worse, and the target workplace is Princess of Chuanan from the Immortal Dynasty. Developing Chuanan State is much better than this. Most importantly, I really don’t want to work with a bunch of uneducated people; it’s hard for us to unify our thoughts.”

Rich? Princess of Chuanan?

Sheng Commandery Prince appeared defeated. It was just Ji Siwu, but never mind, there were still many talents left.

But what Sheng Commandery Prince never expected was, the top-ranking Wang Fuqiang directly rejected the invitation, stating his cultural level was insufficient and he wanted to further his studies at the Wang Clan Research Institute…

The second-ranking Chen Yangkang decided to join the Changning United Group.

Not joining the top three was one thing, but even the top thirty started picking and choosing against Sheng Commandery Prince. After all, the top thirty were all at the level of Heavenly Chosen and had already been rewarded and nurtured by the clan school due to their outstanding performance in various aspects.

Many people felt that entering politics might be good, but in the end, they could be caught in the scheming system of officialdom, and future prospects were limited. So, they expressed their desire to join various industries of the Wang family, or the militia, or take Rich’s suggestion to develop in the Immortal Dynasty.

Sheng Commandery Prince only managed to recruit one of the top thirty Heavenly Chosen and had to pay a six million Qian Gold advance cultivation fee for him.

Then there were the top one hundred. Most were Little Sky Pride. Although they also graduated from higher clan schools, they were not as impressive as the genius elites before them, but could be considered backbone talents.

For this group, even with guts, Sheng Commandery Prince dared not let them be County Guardians.

Faced with the ever-lowering recruitment conditions, this group of graduates carefully considered and decided their career directions.

From start to finish, Sheng Commandery Prince only recruited thirteen people: one Sky Pride and twelve Little Sky Prides!

This left him wanting to cry without tears.

The opportunity his father, Emperor Zi’an, had struggled to secure was thwarted by the difficulty in recruiting talent from the Wang’s Higher Clan School.

“Hey, how about me?” Wang Lilong came forward to introduce herself, brazenly saying, “Though I just entered higher clan school, I can sign a long-term contract with you. After I graduate, I’ll work for the court. You just need to cover half of my living expenses now.”

“You?” Sheng Commandery Prince was infuriated, “Wang Lilong, don’t think I don’t know you. When will you graduate from higher clan school? Besides, we’re looking for managerial elite talents, not a violent dragon.”

“Awrr awrr~ I’m so pissed!” Wang Lilong was so angry she revealed her true form, transforming into a ten-zhang long Primitive Azure Dragon, waving her claws and smacking at Sheng Commandery Prince, “Call me a lowly dragon, I bet you’ll never find a girlfriend in your life!”

Wang Zongteng was tossed aside, flapping around, “Yay yay!” (Go, Fourth Sister, eat that big villain.)

“I’m also mid-stage Purple Abode Realm. Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Sheng Commandery Prince started to fight back.

Rumble rumble!

Chaos erupted within the Higher Clan School.

Wang Xuanwei face-palmed, feeling a huge headache. It’s no wonder that Wang Lilong caused a huge commotion on her first day back at the clan school. Do you really think you’re the returning Dragon King?

Also, Great Grandfather’s newly accepted son, Grandpa Wang Zongteng, doesn’t seem easy to manage either. There’ll be lots of trouble in the future, but fortunately, the Elementary Clan School isn’t her responsibility.
