Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 237: Chapter 25: Thigh! Targeting Master Binglan (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

Besides, even if he refused, the elders of the Spirit Platform Realm would probably not let him off.

After all, over the years, the majority of the family’s resources have been devoted to the direct line. Only when the direct line achieves the heavenly-human succession will many resources gradually tilt towards the direct vessel.

The direct line has had its fill, but there are still many excellent children in our direct vessel, toiling persistently.

How could we pass up such a lucrative opportunity?

“Wang Shouzhe is indeed a godsend, a mere hint and he points us to a path of great fortune.” Wang Xiaorui finally made up his mind.

Then, Wang Xiaorui began to seriously seek advice from Wang Shouzhe.

Wang Shouzhe casually shared some high-end hotel management concepts that he had learned in his previous life with Wang Xiaorui.

Wang Xiaorui listened, nodding continuously and having sudden enlightenment, as if he had discovered a whole new world. His eyes were radiant as he said, “Since we are doing this, we should come up with an impressive name. How about… Purple Abode Palace?”

Well… it only differs by a word from the Purple Abode Academic Palace.

Clan Leader Xiaorui, you opened your shameless new world quite quickly, didn’t you?

Indeed, once a person disregards his face, the world becomes suddenly clear.

But this is quite good too – it is taking a bit of the fame of the Purple Abode Academic Palace. This world is very sensitive and reveres anything related to the Purple Abode.

And so it goes.

Wang Shouzhe was dragged by Wang Xiaorui to talk until late into the night before he was finally let to go to sleep.

The next day.

After breakfast.

Wang Shouzhe and his entourage went to visit Old Ancestor Zhou Bo.

Old Ancestor Zhou Bo resides in the Pavilion of Looking up at the Sky, beneath the Lingyun Building. The philosophical implication behind this is that he looks up to his ancestors and constantly motivates himself.

He is tall and strong, yet his clothes are simple and unadorned.

Having advanced to the Heavenly Human Realm at a later age, he now appears as a dignified old man.

Even though Wang Shouzhe has already reached the Spirit Platform Realm.

Looking at Old Ancestor Zhou Bo, he still found the elderly man unfathomable and as vast as a deep sea, and as towering as a mountain.

Heavenly Human Realm cultivators enjoy a lifespan of four hundred years.

Having long left their mortal bodies behind, they are vastly different from ordinary human beings. Even their every move seems to contain immeasurable force.

Old Ancestor Zhou Bo first set his eyes on Old Ancestor Longyan.

In his deep gaze, a trace of heartache was revealed, but it was mostly filled with relief.

“Wang Longyan pays respect to Old Ancestor Zhou Bo.” Old Ancestor Longyan took the lead in paying respects.

Subsequently, Wang Shouzhe and the others also paid their respects .

After the formalities and pleasantries.

Old Ancestor Zhou Bo spoke one by one to the younger generation. There was no lofty attitude, but a very approachable demeanor.

When asked about cultivation, he patiently answered every question.

Four hours later.

After Old Ancestor Zhou Bo had given all of the younger ones some small gifts.

Only Wang Shouzhe, Old Ancestor Xuanfu, Old Ancestor Longyan, and the Head of the Longzuo Clan, Wang Xiaorui were left in the room.

With these decision-makers gathered, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Obviously, it was time to discuss the serious matters.

Old Ancestor Longyan gave Wang Shouzhe a look.

Understanding the message, Wang Shouzhe stepped forward and said, “Old Ancestor Zhou Bo, there is something I would like to ask about.”

“When you were supporting the Ping’an Wang family, did you find out who was dealing us blows behind our back?”

Old Ancestor Zhou Bo’s expression also became very grave: “From what I have surmised, most likely there is a prominent family in the Heavenly Human realm behind that incident. But it’s hard to say who exactly it was, as we have no evidence.”

Old Ancestor Xuanfu frowned and said, “Shouzhe, when you exterminated the Liu and Zhao families, why didn’t you think of capturing a live mouth and interrogating?”

“Old Ancestor Xuanfu, at that time the Liu and Zhao families bore deep grudges against me. Any confessions might be false and confuse my judgement.” Wang Shouzhe explained, “It doesn’t matter if the ancestors don’t know. I have been planning for this for many years. It won’t be long before they will show their tails. By then, it will be clear who the venomous snake is.”

Old Ancestor Zhou Bo expressed with a serious expression: “The reason both sides can live in peace now is entirely due to their successful concealment. Once they realize they’ve been exposed, will they risk everything and launch an extensive attack? Shouzhe, I need to remind you. The Celestial prominent families are not easy to deal with.”

“Especially, Changning Guard City is a pioneer city established in the recent centuries, the Huangfu Clan and Lei Family each have their own backing. Our Longzuo Wang family alone may be unable to contend.”

“This, I have already taken into consideration.” Wang Shouzhe said earnestly, “Old Ancestor Zhou Bo, rest assured. Without a foolproof plan, I will not take action hastily.”

In fact, more than not acting rashly, given the chance to delay indefinitely, he would rather continue growing covertly, only taking action when he could swiftly and effortlessly overturn the Celestial Prominent Families.

However, when in this world is anything that simple?

Even though Wang Shouzhe had made all kinds of precautionary measures, layouts, constantly keeping his cards hidden, and staying behind the scenes. However, as long as the Wang family is developing, there inevitably will be a day when the hidden puppeteer will gradually lose their patience.

Instead of passively waiting for the opponent to deliver a secret blow at an unknown time, it would be better to throw out a bait, forcing the opponent to expose themselves willingly. Only then can the initiative be held in one’s hands.

The current status of the Wang Family Alliance is not to be underestimated. What he fears the most is actually the backing of the so-called Celestial Prominent Families.

The backers of the Huangfu and Lei Clans, Wang Shouzhe had naturally already investigated thoroughly.

That is also the primary reason why he had to make this trip to the Academic Palace this time. That is, Wang Shouzhe also wants to attach himself to a strong patron.

If a local power truly wants to develop, without a solid backing, It would be like duckweed in the water, floating aimlessly and lacking a foundation.

“Old Ancestor Zhou Bo, I have another question,” Wang Shouzhe said earnestly, “excuse my directness. In the past, when our Longzuo Wang family was at the crossroads between Celestial beings and humans, the reputation of our Longzuo Wang family alone would not be enough to deter them, am I right?”

Old Ancestor Zhou Bo nodded, “You’re right, at that time I was but in the advanced stage of the Spiritual Platform realm, I was not qualified to mediate the affair of Changning Guard City. Therefore, I first went to the Academic Palace, through connections, I begged hard to meet with Master Binglan. Even though I ended up not being able to meet with Master Binglan, I did obtain a letter from her!”

“It was with this letter, that I, along with Yu Chen, traveled to Changning Guard City and resolved the affair. But if we wish to intervene in matters of Ping’an Town again, it is absolutely impossible. The capital of Changning Guard City will also not allow us to intervene freely in local affairs.”

As he expected!

Wang Shouzhe breathed a sigh of relief in secret, just as he had guessed, Master Binglan did not disregard the affairs of Old Ancestor Longyan.

In this way, the plan to cling to a powerful patron became even more viable.

“This…” Old Ancestor Longyan trembling with excitement, “Master, Master actually intervened on my behalf. She, she… Old Ancestor Zhou Bo, why didn’t you tell me back then?”

“This…” Old Ancestor Zhou Bo sighed in resignation, “that was Master Binglan’s intention, I dared not disobey.”

Wang Shouzhe, understanding the situation, comforted her: “Old Ancestor, Binglan was considering your feelings. She was afraid that knowing about this situation would have put you in a difficult position and increased your worry and guilt.”

As soon as this was said.

Old Ancestor Longyan sighed deeply once more.

The group then discussed some things about strengthening the connection between the two families and the developments in the future.

This was the rightful course of action, as the two families were created by the same Old Ancestor. Now that each has shake off some difficulties, they naturally had to cooperate and plan for the future together.

Nowadays, although Longzuo Wang family may not be a top-tier Celestial Prominent Family, it remains a time-honored family with a deep heritage. Its alliance with the Ping’an Wang Family naturally brings numerous benefits.

They were engrossed in discussions until the second day.

Only then did Wang Shouzhe find some respite.

Shortly after, Wang Licui caught hold of Wang Shouzhe, to fulfill the promise he made earlier.

In Longzuo County Town, Wang Licui could eat whatever she wanted to.

Watching Wang Licui’s excited gaze.

After some deliberation.

Wang Shouzhe decided to first take Wang Licui to the Gambling Stone Market in the county town to earn a pile of money, then they would have the means to eat to their heart’s content.

All along their journey, every Guard City’s Gambling Stone Market became Wang Shouzhe’s reserved project. Once he was done with a location, that market would probably take years to recover its vitality.

Several big Gambling Stone Market owners will probably be beaten into bankruptcy in the future.

Truth be told, without those spirit stones.

With the level of extravagance of Wang Shouzhe, he would certainly be a little disconcerted.

Luckily, this naughty kid was about to go to the Academic Palace to study, and the Academic Palace provides boarding and lodging to the core and directly apprenticed students.

Thinking of this.

Wang Shouzhe seemed to have a feeling of lightness, as if he was about to lay down the heavy boulder on his shoulder.
