Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3020: Chapter 77: Wang Fugui’s True Purpose

...

A few days later.

The Wang family’s residence in Luojing.

Wang Fugui indeed brought a group of younger family members, following proper etiquette, to visit the Wang family’s Grand Elder, Wang Chenfen.

Grand Elder Chenfen didn’t really have the face to truly avoid them, so over these days, he quickly visited several old friends and then waited peacefully for the Divine Martial Wang family to arrive.

The meeting was, naturally, a joyful and harmonious scene.

For the young people accompanying the Wang family, he offered lavish praise and presented each with a meeting gift. Although the gifts varied, the value was mostly around a Chaos Spirit Stone.

Even Wang Fugui and Wang Fuheng, the two elders of the ”Rich” generation, each received a gift.

Exotic flowers and plants bloomed in the courtyard.

Grand Elder Chenfen personally accompanied Fugui and Fuheng, warmly discussing various topics with them, talking about the Wang family’s founding ancestors and their pioneering days in the Savage Land, establishing a strong Wang family.

Grand Elder Chenfen certainly couldn’t neglect these two brothers.

One was Wang Fugui, who could sit alongside various Sacred Supremes, while the other was Wang Fuheng, who recently bought several key properties in one go. Neither was an ordinary junior within the Wang family.

At the same time, he heard from Wang Fugui and Wang Fuheng some histories of the Divine Martial Wang family branch struggling in distant lands.

Upon hearing some exciting points, Grand Elder Chenfen couldn’t help but clap his hands in praise: ”That’s truly the spirit of our Wang family bloodline, always resilient, overcoming each challenge, regardless of the dangers faced.”

After their discussions, both parties seemed to become much closer.

It was then that Wang Fugui stood up, cupped his hands in regret, and said, ”Grand Elder Chenfen, previously, our Wang family didn’t realize that Miss Jiang Xiyue was supposed to be Yinhang’s suitor. We inadvertently wrecked this matter and hope for your reproach.”

Given Wang Fugui’s current connections and strength, he only needed to inquire a little to understand Grand Elder Chenfen and Wang Yinhang’s activities in Luojing, as well as the current circumstances faced by the Wang family.

Unfortunately, it seems the matter with Jiang Xiyue may be beyond remedy. In just these few short days, she already went out twice with several members of the Wang family and expressed strong admiration for Wang Youdao.

Whatever direction Jiang Xiyue and Wang Youdao develop in next, it will likely be unlikely for her to have any possibility with Wang Yinhang.

”Fugui, don’t speak nonsense. Miss Jiang Xiyue and Yinhang can’t be considered suitors,” Grand Elder Chenfen waved his hand breezily, ”Our Tienwei Wang family indeed has plans to ally with Jiang’s family, but they’ve actually politely declined our proposal. If there’s blame to be had, it’s because young Yinhang is lacking in skill.”

This made the Wang Fugui brothers nod secretly in agreement.

It seemed that Grand Elder Chenfen was indeed a reasonable person, making their special trip worthwhile.

Subsequently, the topic was set aside, and they engaged in various casual conversations, chatting about the anecdotes and gossip of different clans, steering clear of discussions about interests, enjoying a delightful exchange between host and guests.

In this way, after talking for half a day, Wang Fugui led the group in bidding farewell to Grand Elder Chenfen, and left the residence with the younger members.

After the Divine Martial Wang family members departed.

Wang Yinhang returned after seeing them off and voiced his concern to Grand Elder Chenfen: ”Old Ancestor, today you gave out quite a few meeting gifts, didn’t you? Where did you get the money?”

”This...” Grand Elder Chenfen paused for a moment suspiciously, then waved his hand vaguely, saying, ”I, a Sacred Supreme Old Ancestor, can still manage to gather some Chaos Spirit Stones without needing you, a young one, worrying.”

Wang Yinhang furrowed his eyebrows deeply.

He wasn’t foolish; how could he not guess that the money was likely borrowed by the Old Ancestor from old friends?

Had it not been to borrow money, why else would the Old Ancestor, who usually preferred being quiet and less active, go out visiting friends every day recently?

He took out all the meeting gifts he received earlier, worriedly saying: ”Old Ancestor, I have some understanding of the family’s situation. Though these don’t completely fill the gaps, they can alleviate the situation slightly.”

”Nonsense.” Grand Elder Chenfen felt somewhat moved yet still straightened his face and reprimanded him, ”These are resources for your cultivation supported by Fugui and the Grand Elder, carrying their expectations for you. How could I, an Old Ancestor, collect them casually? Don’t worry, about money matters, I have my plans. You just need to focus on calmly cultivating and honing yourself.”

After saying this, Grand Elder Chenfen felt deeply moved.

Yinhang was indeed a good child; it was just a pity that he was too straightforward, easy to be exploited. But, being straightforward isn’t entirely a bad thing; at least, those Divine Martial Wang family children seemed to get along quite well with Yinhang.

It looked like, after this, he’d have to figure out a way to earn some money.

But it’s not easy for a Sacred Supreme Old Ancestor to go out and find work; firstly, there aren’t many suitable jobs, and secondly, he couldn’t take on anything too dangerous, or if he encountered any mishap, it would lead to the downfall of the entire Wang family.

It’s tough, truly, a penny can perplex a hero.

”Yes, Old Ancestor.”

Wang Yinhang nodded mournfully, with a heavy sigh in his heart.

He blamed himself for not being aggressive enough to win Jiang Xiyue’s affection; otherwise, the crisis currently faced by the Wang family would have been easily resolved.

”Yinhang, don’t let the pressure get to you too much,” Grand Elder Chenfen, sensing his dismay, comforted him, ”Although you and Miss Jiang missed each other, she hasn’t been taken by the Diao Family either; this round counts as a draw.”
