Protect Our Clan Leader

Wasn’t it said that the Ping’an Wang Family is just a downtrodden minor clan?

How come these young folks are all so impressive?

Even the female members are awe-inspiring, having the demeanor of Spiritual Platform persuits.

This demeanor… even his Longzuo Wang family can’t achieve, can they?

Is he dreaming? Or suffering some kind of illusion…

Wang Shouyue can’t wrap his head around it.

The invigourating woman looked Wang Shou Ye up and down and couldn’t help but laugh: “Who can blame our Seventh Elder, with his striking good looks? His ‘scandalous reputation’ has already spread all over Changning. I’ve heard that several prominent families have already secretly sent people to propose a marriage alliance with our family.”

The Profound Martial families have a custom of proposing marriage, but it’s usually the man’s family that proposes to the woman’s. Only if the girl has taken a shine to a certain young man and insistently requests, will the girl’s family shamelessly do the asking.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shou Ye was at a loss for words, looking deeply troubled. He had no desire for a wife – too much trouble.

At this moment, Wang Zongsheng also quickly jumped off the coach, and respectfully greeted the invigourating woman: “Fourth Aunt, Zongsheng greets you.”

The woman looked Wang Zongsheng up and down and she couldn’t help but criticize: “It’s just been a few days since I last saw you and your muscles have grown considerably. Let me tell you this, as a young man, you should aspire to be like your Seventh Uncle, elegant, scholarly, and dashing, in order to attract the ladies. If you keep bulking up this way, you probably won’t be able to find a wife.”

Wang Zongsheng grinned bitterly. What use was a wife to him?

Quickly changing the subject, he said, “Fourth Aunt, did you just go hunting Fierce Beasts? Your archery skills are truly impressive, killing with one arrow.”

Speaking of this matter…

The woman had somewhat of a proud look in her eyes, but she nonchalantly said: “It was just a Level Two Fierce Bird that it turned out to be quite stupid and not cautious enough. It actually dared to cross the mountains to hunt in Wang’s territory and disturbed the common folk. How could it have possibly escaped?”

“Regardless of the fact that it was only a Level Two Fierce Bird, the admirable fact that you ended its life with one arrow couldn’t be overlooked.” Wang Shouyue joined in the conversation with the woman once he alighted from the coach. Wang Xiaozheng followed closely behind.

As soon as the woman noticed the presence of strangers, she composed herself in an instant and returned the courtesy, asking: “And this young master is?”

“My name is Wang Shouyue, of the direct line of the Longzuo Wang family.” Wang Shouyue replied, sporting an elegant and gentlemanly demeanor, “Might I inquire as to the lady’s name?”

Longzuo Wang family? From the ‘Shou’ generation?

The woman looked somewhat surprised, but she responded with solemnity without straying from manners, “So you are Master Wang Shouyue. My name is Wang Luotong. Nice meeting you, Master Wang.”

“Miss Ruotong, with such extraordinary talents, must be a noble lady of the direct lineage from the Wang family, correct?” Wang Shouyue questioned again, “May I ask if Miss Ruotong is a direct disciple of the Purple Abode Academic Palace? If so, who is your master?”

His guess wasn’t without reason.

This lady named Wang Luotong, regardless of her demeanor or her cultivation base, was indeed extraordinary.

If she was a disciple of the Academic Palace, she should be able to contend for core disciple status.

Even when compared to their Celestial family’s carefully impassioned successors, she wasn’t lacking in any aspect.

It was presumable that she was at least an excellent disciple within the Academic Palace, right?

“The Purple Abode Academic Palace?” Wang Luotong chuckled self-mockingly, “With my level, it’s better not to disgrace myself in the palace. It’s wiser for me to barely scrape by back in the family. And, I’m not of the direct lineage.”

“What?”

How was that possible? Wang Shouyue looked visibly surprised.

Such a gifted woman, not nurtured by the Academic Palace?

And the most shocking was that she wasn’t from the direct lineage.

Not to say that talented women couldn’t come from the collateral branches.

Just that resources within a family were limited. Under similar conditions, the direct line was prioritized first for training to ensure better continuity for the family.

Only when the resources were abundant or the direct line was unfit for training, would the family focus on cultivating disciples from the collateral branches in order to accomplish the Spiritual Platform alternation, or Celestial alternation.

Could the Wang family actually be this resourceful to be willing to nurture a woman from the collateral branches!

Perhaps it was due to this lady’s extraordinary talent that the Wang family squeezed out some resources for her training and, along with her natural talent and hard work, led to her achievements.

What a pity, what a pity!

If this lady were to enter the Purple Abode Academic Palace, her achievements wouldn’t stop here.

Such a gifted woman born in the Pingan Wang family, her talent was truly wasted.

If she had been with the Longzuo Wang family…

The Old Ancestor would have found a way to send her to the Academic Palace.

And to eagerly provide resources for her, so she could compete for the status of core disciple. Once a core disciple, she would become a pillar of support and be of great benefit to the family’s development.

The Longzuo Wang family did have an elder brother in the family who had already joined the Academic Palace and become a core disciple.

Wang Luotong, on one side, was slightly amazed. This guest of the Longzuo Wang family was quite peculiar.

After making a bit of small talk, the guest sank into deep thought.

From time to time, his expressions of frowning, shaking his head, and sighing seemed to signify some kind of regret. His expressions were dynamic and strange.

However, she didn’t mind. As long as she maintained politeness towards the longzuo Wang family, it would be enough.

If he loved deep contemplation, then let him be. She resumed her conversation with her brother and nephew.

Perhaps it was because they hadn’t seen each other in a long time, both Wang Luotong and Wang Shouye were deep into their conversation.

They discussed some strange and unusual stories.

Especially Wang Shouye, as he casually shared funny incidents that happened in Changning with his fourth sister.
