Chapter 238 - 26 Wang Shouzhe! No Place to Find Despite Tireless Searching_1
Just as Wang Shouzhe and his party were about to go out shopping.
A man in his thirties came to visit. He had also appeared at the banquet two nights ago; his name was Wang Shouxin.
Yes.
His name was the same as the Spirit Shield possessed by Wang Shouzhe.
When they first met, the young members of the Wang family were quite surprised. This was because Wang Shouzhe’s top-grade Spirit Shield was also called the “Guardian Heart Spirit Shield.”
The name was not problematic, it was just a repetition.
However, the shield also had a nickname, known as the “Pot Lid.” Wang Shouzhe unintentionally spoke this name, and his siblings picked up on it and started calling the shield by its nickname.
As a result, when they looked at Wang Shouxin, their expressions were slightly peculiar.
Wang Shouxin felt somewhat uncomfortable at the strange glances he received from his younger siblings. He checked his appearance; was there anything wrong with the way he dressed today?
Moreover, these same siblings had been giving him strange looks since the banquet.
Could it be possible that they admired and respected him?
Suppressing the joyful thoughts in his heart, he gracefully said to Wang Shouzhe, “Younger brother, I have been ordered by the Clan Leader to act as your guide, to take your siblings around the town of Longzuo County, and then to the Academic Palace in a few days.”
Wang Shouxin was not an ordinary clan member, but one of the promising young talents of the Longzuo Wang Family.
He entered the Academic Palace at the age of eighteen.
Around the age of thirty, he attained the Spirit Platform Realm with the support of his family and the palace.
Now, at the age of thirty-five, he was highly regarded by the palace and had the potential to become a Core Disciple. He was the elder cousin previously mentioned by Wang Shouyue.
Once he matures, he can provide mutual support to the Longzuo Wang family, thus enhancing the family’s development.
Naturally, such an excellent individual was recently summoned back by the Longzuo Wang family.
The purpose was to show off the depth of the Longzuo Wang family to Wang Shouzhe and his team, so as not to be underestimated by the Ping’an Wang family.
“Thank you for your kind companionship, brother Shouxin,” Wang Shouzhe respectfully responded.
Longzuo County Town was quite large. Having the local guide, Wang Shouxin, made their travels easier and eliminated unnecessary detours.
Under the guidance of Wang Shouxin, everyone happily toured around Longzuo County Town.
Moreover, Wang Shouxin was mature, steady, cheerful and talkative. He narrated the historical anecdotes and interesting incidents during the tour, which greatly broadened everyone’s knowledge.
The eldest lady, Wang Licui, had her eyes on the food stalls. No matter where she went, she always tasted the local flavor.
“Young brother Shouzhe, I just heard your siblings mention that they want to buy suitable clothing,” While everyone was wandering around, Wang Shouxin pointed to a large ready-to-wear shop and said, “This shop is the best ready-to-wear shop in Longzuo County. It is owned by the Zhou family, a prominent celestial family. The Zhou family is best at tailoring clothes, and they have several master tailors.”
Wang Shouzhe was familiar with this Zhou family.
His wedding dress was custom-made by the Qian family at this Zhou’s Clothing Shop.
Although the price was high, the quality of the clothing was indeed excellent.
Wang Shouzhe understood his wife Liu Ruolan’s intentions. She pitied her sisters and niece and wanted to provide them with some excellent clothing before they entered the Academic Palace.
“My dear, why don’t you accompany our two sisters for a shopping trip and take care of Licui’s clothing,” Wang Shouzhe suggested. “We just passed by the Gambling Stone Pavilion. I heard it’s the largest in the Longzuo County. I’m planning to take Licui there to have some fun.”
Liu Ruolan understood her husband’s intentions and graciously responded, “You can go and have fun. I will take care of things here.”
Wang Shouxin furrowed his brows and reminded in a low voice, “Young brother Shouzhe, it’s generally said that nine out of ten times, one loses when betting on stones. Most of those who gamble on stones end up losing. Only the Independent Cultivators or habitual gamblers would try their luck there.”
Wang Shouzhe inwardly commended.
The Longzuo Wang family was indeed a thousand-year-old prominent family. Even though they had declined, their family education was still commendable.
“Thank you for the reminder, brother Shouxin, could you please accompany Liu Ruolan and the others,” Wang Shouzhe replied with a smile, “I am merely planning to buy a couple of stones for Licui to play with.”
And so, Wang Shouxin agreed.
Subsequently, Wang Shouzhe took Wang Licui to the largest gambling stone shop. After half an hour, he and Wang Licui left there.
By this point, the two had become quite accustomed to this routine.
It was indeed worthwhile to visit the town of Longzuo County, the resources here were abundant.
Wang Shouzhe had a satisfied smile on his face. He gave a contented pat on his storage ring. Although these gambling stones had yet to be opened, Wang Licui had not missed a single stone yet.
She could be considered as having the golden eye of the gambling stone realm.
Back at the clothing shop.
It took more than an hour before Liu Ruolan finally completed the clothing shopping task.
Aside from preparing two sets of excellent spirit silkworm silk clothes for those who would go to the Academic Palace and for her husband, she also specially picked out two sets for Old Ancestor Longyan.
After buying more than ten sets of expensive spirit silkworm silk clothes without batting an eye, she immediately became a VIP at Zhou’s Clothing Shop.
Observing such a generous act, Wang Shouxin felt a chill in his heart.
It was said that the Ping’an Wang family was wealthy, but this was too extravagant, wasn’t it?
By that time, Wang Licui could no longer wait, “Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, I’m starving. Didn’t you promise to take me to the best restaurant?”
“Brother Shouxin, which is the best restaurant in Longzuo County Town?” Wang Shouzhe, who always kept his promises, asked.
Wang Shouxin hesitated slightly before uttering, “The best restaurant in Longzuo County Town is undoubtedly the headquarters of the Hundred Flavors Pavilion.”
