Protect Our Chief

Chapter 984 - 51: The Wang Family Dominates Longzhou! A Clash of Wits with the Great Emperor

Although the Basic Bloodline Talent Improvement Liquid is relatively scarce at the moment, if necessary, it can be replaced with the Bone Marrow Purify Pill and the Infinite Treasure Pill. The Infinite Treasure Pill has better effects; the only issue is that it’s too rare and expensive.As of now, not only is the family’s alchemist Wang Shouye incapable of refining it, but even his master, Master Dan Ding, cannot yet produce it.

Wang Shouzhe had already investigated thoroughly. Some of the Infinite Treasure Pills auctioned off in the auction houses are circulated from Lingyun Sacred Land, while others are imported from the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty. It’s said that the price in the Immortal Dynasty is considerably cheaper than here in Daqian.

Coincidentally, Liyao’s master, Celestial River Zhenren, plans to take Liyao to the Immortal Dynasty for some experience. If, during this opportunity, they can find a small supply channel for the Infinite Treasure Pill, that would be ideal.

As for the Wedding Robe Blood Gu, throughout the history of Daqian, there indeed have been a few Blood Nests discovered. However, firstly, the overall quantity of Blood Nests remains extremely low; secondly, most Blood Gus from the past have been gathered by the Sacred Land. Apart from a few specimens and Blood Gus used for research, the rest were taken to be used on the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Some criminals, to atone for their sins, were willing to try enhancing their bloodlines with Blood Gu. If they failed, they failed, but if they succeeded, they could enhance their strength and then use their merits on the battlefield to erase their previous crimes.

Therefore, the Wedding Robe Blood Gu can only be obtained by chance and cannot be used as a regular method for bloodline enhancement.

Actually, what Wang Shouzhe desires the most is the formula for the Basic Bloodline Talent Improvement Liquid. Although it’s not as effective as the Infinite Treasure Pill, it’s most suitable for young children.

"Yes, Fourth Grandfather."

Wang Yinglei is considered a little goddess outside, yet in front of Wang Shouzhe, she behaves obediently like a small quail.

Wang Shouzhe methodically showed concern for everyone before getting to the main topic.

"Shijing, Shilian." Wang Shouzhe asked with a smile, "I heard that you two have been getting close to those two girls from the Yian Family lately? How do you feel about it?"

Both Wang Shilin and Wang Shilian blushed upon hearing this and became a bit bashful.

Among them, Shijing has a younger brother named "Shilun," named after the phrase "full of wisdom," hoping the beloved grandson would be knowledgeable and distinguished.

As for Shilian, Wang Shou Lian passed down a character from his own name to his grandson, also hoping the best for him.

This is quite common among noble families, where the clan name signifies the same lineage and family, the generational character represents inheritance, and the last character often carries some meaning of hope, so characters like Xing, Ping, An, Rui, etc., with positive connotations appear frequently.

Some younger names also stem from their ancestors, which is also a form of inheritance.

After all, there are only so many names that sound good, and in families that have been passed down for thousands of years with a massive population, it’s normal to have repeated names.

Leaving aside the idle talk.

Seeing their bashfulness, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but laugh and scold, "Men should marry when grown, and women should be wed when grown. Both of you are boys; what is there to be shy about?"

For someone like Wang Shouzhe, who has the family inheritance rights from the direct lineage, marriage is often a matter of great importance and usually out of one’s control. But for the direct lineage children within the family, there are many more choices. Young people often organize spring outings and gatherings, and sometimes, if they find someone agreeable, they inform their parents, and then the man can propose marriage.

This is a tradition among noble families.

This time, sending Shifeng with them and the young people from the Yian Family on a trip was with such intentions.

"Replying to Fourth Grandfather, it’s quite good," Wang Shijing quickly stood up and said, "Although the Yian Family girls’ education levels are not on par with the girls in our Wang Clan Academy, being from a direct lineage of a Fifth-Grade Noble Family, their temperament and upbringing are still decent, and their characters and tempers are nice as well."

Wang Shilian quickly nodded in agreement as well.

The excellent girls in the clan academy are either sisters or cousins, or perhaps selected elites from among the commoners, making it hard for them to find suitable partners within the academy.

It’s not that they look down on those commoner-origin girls; it’s just that the bloodline level of commoner-born girls tends to be lower, and reckless unions would be irresponsible to future generations.

"What does Fong’er think?" Wang Shouzhe looked at his grandson Wang Shifeng.

He was quite satisfied with this grandson. The children from his second son Zongrui’s line might not match the talent and bloodline of Zong’an’s line, but they all have stable personalities and are capable of practical work.

Of course, that crazy Yingxuan is an exception.

That girl gives both Zongrui and Xunfeng headaches, and even Wang Shouzhe feels overwhelmed.

That so-called Beautiful Girl Alliance, although transformed by her into a study alliance with everyone’s grades improving, she never forgets her original intention. She always considers herself as the future Female War God, often "assembling the army" for collective training, and then gathering a group of boys for a fight, causing chaos at home with countless complaints.

Just because now her grades have improved, she’s respectful to the clan academy teachers, and even encourages the girls under her command to study hard and improve academically, there’s no suitable reason to discipline her at the moment.

He truly wishes she would grow up faster so he can send her off to Lingyun Sacred Land to wreak havoc there, allowing him, Wang Shouzhe, some peace and quiet.
