Protect Our Clan Leader

However, the moment Senior Brother Jinshan’s words were spoken…

The disciples of Changchun Valley were instantly dazed, their eyes wildly heating up in an instant.

Going to visit the other branches has always been a matter that the disciples, who are in their thirties and forties, dream of.

Going to the Mysterious Ice Palace to learn something new is something they had not even dared to think of before today.

Facing the eager anticipation of many eyes…

Wang Shouzhe felt it wasn’t right to dampen their enthusiasm on the spot, so he immediately changed the topic and said, “Brothers and sisters, I’m somewhat exhausted after the fight just now.”

The implication of his words, of course, was to drop the matter of visiting the Mysterious Ice Palace.

However, Senior Brother Jinshan took it the wrong way, his face immediately turned serious and he said, “Brother Shouzhe is absolutely correct. He should take a good rest before we head to the Mysterious Ice Palace for a challenge. Servants! Clean up the resting room in the Instructing Dao Palace, bring out all of the tasty foods to restore Vital Energy.”

“Yes!”

The disciples cheered heartily and promptly ran off to carry out the tasks with burning enthusiasm.

As long as Brother Shouzhe could take them to the Mysterious Ice Palace to learn something new, they were willing to do anything.

Half an hour later, in one of the rooms of the Instructing Dao Palace, Wang Shouzhe, Liu Ruolan, Liu Ruolei, Liu Xuanfu, and others looked at each other.

“Brother-in-law, you’re not really going to the Mysterious Ice Palace, are you?” Liu Ruolei asked with concern, “The Mysterious Ice Palace is not like other places. The disciples and seniors there, even… sigh, they are very domineering and not easy to provoke.”

Old Ancestor Xuanfu also frowned slightly and said, “The number of core disciples in the Mysterious Ice Palace is not much, but if you go to the Mysterious Ice Palace, there’s one person you need to watch out for.”

“His name is Ji Mingyu, a disciple of the direct line of the Ji Family from Longzuo, who was sent to the Academic Palace simply because he was the second son.”

“This child is only in his forties, yet he has already reached the third tier of the Spiritual Platform Realm. With his strong bloodline and solid foundation, he is even more impressive than Cousin Longyan was at that time. Over the last few years, he has been leading new disciples around to broaden their horizons. Although he has yet to reach the status of a true Sky Pride, he is not far from it.”

Even when Old Ancestor Xuanfu spoke of him, her face was serious and laced with a hint of envy.

“Oh…” Wang Shouzhe remained noncommittal, in fact, he was not even considering going to the Mysterious Ice Palace.

He was not like Wang Luoqiu, who harbored a strong ambition to rule.

The greatest aspiration of his life is to manage his little family well, to provide for his family, so they can live comfortably, and at least not worry about resources for cultivation.

As for fighting and such, he was not interested at all.

“I think, my husband is more concerned about Master Longyan’s dignity.” Liu Ruolan explained with a smile, “If we initiate a fight, wouldn’t we be putting Old Ancestor in a tough situation?”

“Only my wife truly understands me.” Wang Shouzhe looked at Liu Ruolan tenderly, took her hand and said, “Having a wife like Ruolan is the purpose of my life.”

“Being your wife, Shouzhe, is the greatest fortune of my life.” Liu Ruolan’s face turned slightly red with joy, revealing her bliss.

“Hiss!”

Not again!

Liu Ruolei shuddered. Every time she saw her sister and brother-in-law showing off their love, she felt the world was being malicious towards her.

Unfortunately, this couple seemed to enjoy it, ready to express their love at any moment.

Old Ancestor Xuanfu’s gaze also became vacillating, obviously sharing the same impulse to draw a sword.

As they were chatting, a disciple from Changchun Valley spoke respectfully from outside the door, “Brother Shouzhe, are you rested? If you’re alright, Master would like to speak with you.”

As expected!

Wang Shouzhe chuckled.

The invitation of Master Changchun was within his expectations.

The reason why he showed off at the last moment was not only to salvage some dignity for Changchun Valley and to repay the teachings of the Master, but also to win over Master Changchun.

He did not dare to hope that he could instantly gain his favor, but at least he hoped to earn some status in Master’s eyes.

He didn’t want to be seen as a disregarded commoner, but as a person of use.

The worst thing in life is not being used, but being of no use to anyone.

In this way, if he encountered any unfair treatment in the future,

He wouldn’t be completely out of options, at least he would have a place to lodge a complaint, a path to tread upon.

“My wife, Old Ancestor Xuanfu, you both should rest a bit. I’ll be back soon.”

After instructing them a bit, Wang Shouzhe left with the disciple and left Instructing Dao Palace.

Changchun Valley is situated on a top grade Spirit Vein, with Spirit Fields located everywhere within the valley, planted with shimmering Spirit Plants, occasionally interspersed with towering Spirit Trees. Spiritual Tea leaves exuded a lush, fresh fragrance. Looking out, it was teeming with life. Even the air seemed to be filled with the sweetness of vegetation, creating an invigorating mood.

The further into the valley, the higher the level of the Spirit Fields.

Unconsciously, the surrounding Spirit Fields had transitioned from Lower Grade Spirit Fields to Middle Grade Spirit Fields and from Middle Grade Spirit Fields to Top Grade Spirit Fields. The level of the Spirit Plants in the field also kept increasing.

Various Spirit Seeds treasures seemed to appear everywhere, ready to be picked up.

Wang Shouzhe felt an invisible pressure. It was worthy of being called the sacred land of the Academic Palace. There were many Spirit Plants he had never seen or heard of before.

In the end…

Following a slippery wall of cliff filled with Spirit Moss, the leading disciple finally stopped in front of a very simple thatched cottage.

“Brother Shouzhe, the Master is waiting for you inside the house, I can’t accompany you inside.” The disciple from Changchun Valley bowed and said.
