Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2217: Chapter 251: “Shou Duke” Wang Shouzhe

…

Old Man Xiang said with a face full of joy, “Not only that, Your Highness, to commend you for your extraordinary contributions to the Da Qian, has specially conferred upon Master Shouzhe the title of [Shou Duke]. Look, I’ve even brought you the Shou Duke seal.”

Shou Duke!

Wang Shouzhe looked shocked.

He never expected that Emperor Zi’an, not only forcibly elevated the Wang family to Third Grade, but also arranged a [Shou Duke] title for him.

Is he afraid that he isn’t high-profile enough~

“Duke.” Old Man Xiang looked at Wang Shouzhe with a full smile, “Your title of Duke is hereditary, without substitute, and it’s the third Duke title in our Da Qian. His Highness asked me to inquire if you are surprised and delighted?”

Surprise is there, but not delight.

Wang Shouzhe was speechless.

Emperor Zi’an is afraid he’ll run away or just has nothing better to do full of boredom? The Duke title, as if he cherishes it greatly.

However, no matter what is said, the Wang family are subjects of Da Qian, the imperial edict has been issued, and he has no reason not to accept it.

Wang Shouzhe could only accept the decree and salute to thank: “Shouzhe thanks His Highness.”

“During this period, the old servant will stay at the Wang family to supervise the craftsmen in constructing the Shou Duke stele building. By the way, the plaque at your home has to be changed to [Shou Duke’s Mansion]. From now on, all your appropriate treatment and support will be funded by the national treasury~”

I thank you national treasury for supporting me~

Wang Shouzhe secretly rolled his eyes.

With Emperor Zi’an’s spending speed, if the national treasury doesn’t randomly ask the Wang family to lend money, he will thank heaven and earth.

“Also, His Highness said he’s too busy this period, so he won’t personally come over this time.” Old Man Xiang finally added a sentence.

Upon hearing this, Shu Yong and Shu Lian behind Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but secretly laugh.

His Highness isn’t busy, he’s afraid of being beaten if he comes?

Obviously knowing that Fourth Brother likes to keep a low profile and hide his talents, yet deliberately making a grand scene known to everyone, isn’t this purposely challenging Fourth Brother?

However, Shu Yong and Shu Lian’s hearts are still pleased that Fourth Brother could be conferred as [Shou Duke].

After all, this represents the overall strength of the Wang family has reached a new level. The Wang family’s ancestors have always been Daqian People, never thinking of switching allegiances or betraying, now their descendants bear the honor, this serves as an account to the ancestors.

Following this, once Fourth Brother ascends to the Void Realm, he might be bestowed a title as the king of a different surname.

But, after Emperor Zi’an caused such a scene.

Wang Shouzhe’s divine skills banquet and Duke banquet cannot be careless this time. Helplessly, he could only earnestly start organizing the banquet, preparing to widely invite kin and friends from all parts of the world at a select date.

…

And at almost the same time, over at the Daqian Defense Area Headquarters, as the [Wanghai Ship] officially docked at the port, the passengers who traveled with the ship also disembarked one after another.

Yet what they saw in front of them made many cultivators who came for the first time show expressions of surprise and shock.

The new Ximen family was equally stunned by this scene in front of them.

Before coming, they had imagined countless possibilities of the Demonic World, recalled many ancient rumors, considered many potential challenges they might encounter, but none of them expected that the Main Defense Base of the Demonic Realm outside the territory would be like this.

The dome here is clear and transparent, the demonic evil energy in the sky has been cleaned and isolated, the red sun shining down has almost no strange colored light, looking clean and tidy.

Here, reinforced concrete is everywhere, with buildings towering, the roads clean and neat, and both sides planted with a large number of plants unique to Da Qian.

Compared to the initial base, here has undergone a transformation as if under a new sky, and the area has expanded several times over.

Now the headquarters of this defense area has a total population and rotating stationed troops of over a million, even within the base, to get from one location to another, one has to take public transportation.

Led by the warm and kind Old Liu family, the Ximen family changed several public transport lines and successfully reached the Daqian Development Company’s Devil World Sub-branch Office.

It was a multi-story office building tens of floors high.

Placed elsewhere, such a skyscraper would be an eye-catching existence, ample as a local landmark, but within this base, such tall buildings are commonplace, so this office building nestled among a cluster of tall buildings appears quite inconspicuous.

With the help of the staff, the Ximen family quickly verified their visas, applied for the Expansion Order, and drew their allotted land randomly within a closed draw box.

It was only after drawing their allotment that they noticed that there was an enormous stack of maps waiting for development, each marked with hundreds of development sites, theirs being just one of many insignificant ones.

It is imaginable how vast the land awaiting development is.

The development contracts were ready-made. Under the guidance of the staff, Ximen Xuesong quickly signed a series of contracts, received the Expansion Order, a land title certificate with a land code, stamped with the official Da Qian seal, and a detailed map of the land.

This is not a small piece of land, but it has as much as fifty thousand acres of wilderness.

This virtually blinded the Ximen family’s eyes.

Fifty thousand acres of wilderness, this is five times more than the existing farmland Ximen family currently possesses!
