Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3109: Chapter 99: The ”Ordinary” Members of the Wang Family_4

He paused for a moment, unable to help but feel a bit emotional: ”I didn’t expect that a high-ranking miss like Miss Keying would be so approachable.”

He couldn’t help but recall the scene when that so-called Ji Family noble young master came to inspect the workshop, causing the entire workshop to hold emergency meetings and study sessions. Compared to Miss Keying, that so-called ”noble young master” seemed lacking by more than a notch.

”Don’t misunderstand, I am not some high-ranking lady,” Wang Keying waved her hand with a smile, ”In our Divine Martial Wang family, I am just an ordinary girl from the direct lineage.”

An ordinary direct lineage member?

Ximen Yaoqing looked astonished, shaking his head in disbelief: ”Impossible, impossible! Even in such an ancient God Clan like the Ji family, someone like Miss Keying would definitely be among the top of the young generation.”

Wang Keying smiled helplessly.

Misunderstandings like this happen every day. Although she indeed worked very hard, when she graduated from the High Clan School in her year, her overall ranking was just tenth!

She could accept being called a young clan elite, but being called a top figure made her blush.

Every year there are many graduates from the High Clan School, and there are many clan members like her, certainly not top figures.

However, this time when the family decided to develop in Luojing, she signed up immediately, wanting to seize some opportunities for more development space. But, many young clan members had the same idea, so she would have to compete fiercely in Luojing.

As they were chatting, another group of people suddenly walked out from the entrance of the Immortal Welcoming Building.

It turned out Wang Ningxi had just met with a Saint King from the Xuanyuan family in the Immortal Welcoming Building and was seeing him off.

After the Saint King was seen off, he was preparing to board a flying carriage accompanied by the head of household.

Seeing the situation, Wang Keying quickly apologized to Ximen Yaoqing, then hurried a few steps forward, respectfully calling out sweetly: ”Ningxi Old Ancestor.”

Wang Ningxi paused and looked at Wang Keying, feeling she was somewhat familiar, yet couldn’t recall her name.

To avoid embarrassing Wang Ningxi, Wang Keying quickly stepped forward and respectfully explained: ”Ningxi Old Ancestor, my name is Wang Keying, a child of the ’Ke’ generation from the lineage of Sixth Ancestor.”

”Oh, so you are Keying from Shu Lian Sixth Uncle’s lineage.” Wang Ningxi’s expression showed ”realization,” then he looked at her lovingly, smiling, ”I remember you, and how has your work been going in Luojing recently?”

The Wang family now had a vast number of clan members, with outstanding young talents everywhere. Just this time, thousands of young members came to support Luojing, scattered in various management posts, which naturally didn’t require Wang Ningxi’s management, so he couldn’t possibly know each one personally.

”Thank you for your concern, Ningxi Old Ancestor. Everything is going smoothly and quite challenging,” Wang Keying respectfully said, ”I am currently working on recruitment for Dongxia Military Industrial Group.”

”Very good, start from the bottom and work diligently to accumulate experience. I believe you will succeed.” Wang Ningxi encouraged her with a few words and then said, ”I’ve arranged to meet Shou Ye Seventh Old Ancestor, so I’ll take my leave first. Once I’m free, I’ll invite you young pillars of the family for a meal.”

”Thank you for the encouragement, Ningxi Old Ancestor. Goodbye, Ningxi Old Ancestor.”

Wang Keying stood in place, respectfully watching Wang Ningxi’s flying carriage leave.

Until Wang Ningxi’s flying carriage was out of sight, she finally withdrew her gaze, with a hint of excitement on her face, murmuring in disbelief, ”I didn’t expect to be so lucky, just coming out for some air and bumping into Ningxi Old Ancestor. I have to post this on social media...”

Next to her, Ximen Yaoqing looked disoriented and messy in the wind.

With this stance, it truly seemed that Miss Keying was not the crown jewel of the Divine Martial Wang family... This is outrageous... What kind of terrifying family is the Wang family after all?

Half a day later.

In the study in the courtyard of the Wang’s Alchemy Department branch bought in Luojing.

Wearing a blue robe, elegant ”Wang’s Seventh Old Ancestor” Wang Shouye, looked complicatedly at the two women in front of him.

One was his long-time assistant Dongfang Lingrou, who silently followed him in development and gradually became his most trusted right-hand helper, and the other was wearing a luxurious outfit, exuding a majestic and ethereal aura, the Imperial Princess Luo Jia.

Correction, now Luo Jia is already the Empress of Da Zhou, and should be addressed as [Emperor Luo Jia] or [Empress Luo Jia].

Because she had always unreservedly aligned with the Wang family, latching onto their industrial prowess, and now the Zhou Empire in the Divine Martial World had an upheaval, its strength not what it once was.

This time, riding on the momentum of the Divine Martial World expanding into the Sacred Domain, Da Zhou had also extended its industrial footprint into the Sacred Domain early and had accumulated its own True Immortal capital.

Under her leadership, Da Zhou would eventually become an immortal dynasty.

Unfortunately, Empress Luo Jia’s greatest wish was not to be an Empress of an immortal dynasty. Without the burden of responsibility, she wouldn’t even want to be this Empress.

She even envied Dongfang Lingrou, as Dongfang Lingrou could, no matter the time or place, quietly stay by Shou Ye’s side.

And Dongfang Lingrou also harbors some hostility and rejection towards Luo Jia, seemingly unwilling to see her frequently finding opportunities to approach Senior Shou Ye.

In Dongfang Lingrou’s view, this Empress Luo Jia tagging along to Luojing this time, claiming she needed to invest and develop there, was but an excuse. Her real intention was nothing other than harboring improper intentions towards Senior Shou Ye, hoping to seize the opportunity to do something shameless far from the emperor.

Both women remained silent.

The atmosphere in the study gradually became strange.

Wang Shouye looked at the scene, inwardly sighing bitterly.

I, Wang Shouye, just wanted to quietly practice alchemy in this life and clear the family merit points, why is it so difficult?

Just as he was lost in thought, pondering how to break the deadlock, Wang Ningxi entered the study led by the head of the household.

As soon as he saw the scene in the study, Wang Ningxi paused, immediately clasping his hands together: ”Shou Ye Old Ancestor, looks like I came at a bad time.”

That said, he immediately tried to back out of the study to escape.

The private lives of elders are certainly not something he could meddle with.

”No, you came at the right time.” Seeing him, Wang Shouye seemed to see a savior and quickly kept him, ”Ningxi, I have something important to discuss with you.”

”Ningxi Young Master, have some tea.” Dongfang Lingrou smiled gently, pouring good tea for Ningxi.

On the other side, Empress Luo Jia seemed unwilling to be outdone, also smilingly pouring tea for Ningxi: ”Ningxi Young Master, I will visit you in a couple of days for tea, I won’t disturb you today.”

With that, the two women exchanged glances and left the study, leaving a private space for the men.

”Tsk tsk!”

Looking at the two cups of tea on the table, one on the left and one on the right, Wang Ningxi couldn’t help but tease with a smile, ”Shou Ye Old Ancestor truly has the charm, no matter where you go, you always have beauties accompanying you.”

Wang Fugui had gone to the Destroyer Devil Territory, and over these years, the primary affairs of the Wang family in Luojing were mostly managed by Wang Ningxi and Wang Shouye. The two had frequent interactions, and their relationship was already very familiar, naturally having no reservations when speaking.

”You cheeky lad, even daring to tease an old ancestor.” Wang Shouye, exasperated, knocked Ningxi’s head lightly, speaking with helplessness, ”It’s tough for me; Fourth Brother insisted I come to Luojing to manage the big picture. You know, I’m truly not good at dealing with people. Ah~~ I really miss the days back in Changning Weicheng, quietly studying alchemy.”

Lost in thought, memories seemed to flood back to Wang Shouye of the scenes from back in the day.

He could even remember how, while learning alchemy in the alchemy workshop, the arrangement of the rooms and the repeated practice sessions, until he finally managed to increase the formation rate of Little Pei Yuan Dan to six stable pills, and the excitement of achieving that.

Back then, the Wang family was just a small Rank 9 prominent family, and he was merely a humble alchemy apprentice, learning alchemy skills because of marital connections.

Back then, he would never have imagined that in just over a thousand years, the Wang family could reach the point it has today.

Thinking back, it’s truly full of sighs.
