Chapter 2994: Chapter 70: ”Gold and Jade on the Outside” Wang Shouzhe

...

After the photo was taken.

Wang Jinyu immediately warmly greeted the two beautiful ladies.

Taishi Jinglan and Jiang Xiyue also seemed interested in Wang Jinyu and Wang Guilan, who looked extremely outstanding in terms of appearance and temperament.

The two pairs of beauties began chatting amiably as if they were naturally in sync.

”From the Divine Martial World?” Jiang Xiyue furrowed her brows slightly, ”Forgive me, sisters, I’ve never heard of this world. But for a world to produce such goddesses as you two, it must surely be a Sacred Land filled with exceptional talent and beauty.”

It’s true that Jiang Lihuo of the Jiang’s suffered greatly at Wang Shouzhe’s hands, but such embarrassing matters would not be publicly declared within the family. Therefore, very few relatives actually knew the full details, only a few Great Luo Old Ancestors and some core True Immortal realm members.

Jiang Xiyue’s talent and potential were good, but she wasn’t even a thousand years old yet and hadn’t reached the age to enter the family’s core. Being naturally serene, she wasn’t keen on gossip, and thus hadn’t connected Wang Shouzhe to them.

”Sister Xiyue, your sources are too limited,” Taishi Jinglan understood immediately, and her eyes lit up, ”Don’t you know about the buzz going around Luojing recently? Think of it—His Majesty accepted Princess Fei Fei as an adopted daughter. And then there’s the matter of the Ying Clan... and the Yun family.”

”Oh, are you referring to the matter of three favored daughters marrying one man?” Jiang Xiyue’s eyes widened in shock, ”Could it be that Ying Lingzhu and the others married into your Divine Martial World family? Or perhaps, into you two sisters’ family?”

Wang Guilan nodded slightly without denying it: ”The three sisters of Jade River married my elder brother Bao Sheng.”

Speaking of this, even Wang Guilan still found it incredible.

Back then, siblings and peer clan members thought it would be difficult for Bao Sheng to find a wife, and they once believed he might remain single all his life. They never imagined that he would take off with a bang, and marry three all at once.

Now, even their children have grown up.

”It’s truly...” Jiang Xiyue shook her head with regret, ”Miss Ying Lingzhu is an idol among our generation of girls. I never thought she would end up like this.”

To her, Ying Lingzhu and the others were definitely marrying down, due to a forced compromise in a special situation.

”Miss Xiyue, I don’t agree with you. The three sisters marrying my uncle Bao Sheng isn’t necessarily a disadvantageous match.” Wang Jinyu was not pleased with the new friend belittling her uncle and promptly defended him, ”My uncle Bao Sheng is very outstanding. Even across the entire East Xia Divine Dynasty, it’s hard to find anyone who can match him.”

”Sister Jinyu, though we haven’t assessed your bloodline, we do acknowledge both of you as extraordinary Phoenix Gods among people,” Taishi Jinglan was somewhat unconvinced, ”Your uncle Bao Sheng must have quite some skills, but claiming he’s the best in East Xia Divine Dynasty seems a bit too bold.”

”Not going too far, just talking about my family’s first uncle [Tai Shi Yu Shu], who is not yet over fourteen hundred years old, and yet has reached the peak of the Transcendent Void Realm, ranking first on the [East Xia Young Elites List]!”

When speaking of her first uncle, she couldn’t help but radiate pride, with a slight arrogance in her demeanor, clearly holding her family’s first uncle in high regard.

”East Xia Young Elites List?” Wang Jinyu’s eyes twinkled slightly, ”What kind of list is this? What are the criteria for entering it?”

In Wang’s Xinping Town, there’s a local Profound Martial Cultivator list.

This list, despite being labeled ”town-grade,” is actually already recognized as the top sacred list across the Divine Martial World.

Wang Jinyu has exceptional talent and was showered with resources by Old Ancestor Shouzhe, leading her to have negative Merit Points! But because of this, she once ranked among the top on the Celestial Leaderboard, Purple Abode Leaderboard, and Divine Skill Leaderboard.

During that time, Wang Jinyu was quite spirited, able to occasionally claim the top spot on the leaderboard.

However, all of this excitement abruptly ended when she ascended to the Transcendent Void Realm and entered Xinping Town’s Lingxu List ranking.

There’s nothing to be done; this list is just too overwhelmingly competitive.

The Lingxu List is filled with various influential figures, with the names at the top being renowned personalities. As a mere Class C Saintess, how could she compete with Old Ancestor Shouzhe or Old Ancestor Longyan?

Previously, she couldn’t even break into the top twenty with her Level Five Void Realm status. It’s only recently, by completing instances at Zhenze Sword Palace and winning a Sacred Sword [Heavy Profound Sacred Sword] through a drinking game, that she managed to squeeze into the top twenty with the Sacred Sword’s aid!

This left her feeling quite powerless. Ahead of her were various formidable Old Ancestors blocking the way, while behind her, peers and exceptionally talented youths chased her. She felt that just a slight lack of effort on her part, and she would be overtaken by the younger ones.

Especially her uncle Bao Sheng’s three children, who are epitomes of exceptional talent.

This year, the three of them are only thirty-eight years old, with one at Level Four of the Purple Abode Realm and two at Level Three, occupying the top three positions on the Purple Abode Leaderboard!

Just thirty-eight years old～

When Wang Jinyu was thirty-eight, she was still striving hard for the top three on the Celestial Leaderboard, and she felt exhausted every time she thought about it.
