Protect Our Clan Leader

Master Changchun had five direct disciples, and only the youngest sister Green Fern was by his side. It was obvious that they had their respective destinations.

The world was too vast, Changning was just a small corner, and there was still so much they didn’t know.

“I see.” Gongsun Yan, a steady and smart young man, instantly came to understand, “Even so, I deeply envy them.”

From a young age, he had a not-so-reliable old father. Under the circumstances, he had to mature early.

But which teenager wouldn’t have a yearning to venture out into the world and experience it?

The world is so vast, everyone wants to see it.

But once you become the clan leader, you become responsible for the entire clan’s future, and your life is centered around the clan, leaving no chance for adventuring.

This is what Wang Shouzhe had said about everyone following different paths.

The other family heads were also quietly discussing, mainly about the disciples of the Purple Abode Academy.

For most Eighth and Ninth Grade prominent families, having a child admitted to the academy was indeed a matter of great pride. If they were to become a Core Disciple, it could totally transform the status of the entire family.

It was for this reason that the development of the Liu Family of Shanyin had been so rapid in recent decades. The City Lord was very polite to the Liu Family of Shanyin, there were signs of him trying to curry favor.

When talking with Liu Gaowang, the other family heads would inevitably commend the elder Xuanchao. It seemed that when Changning produced a Core Disciple of the Academy, they felt a sense of shared honor.

Just as everyone was in discussion.

A crisp crane cry suddenly echoed from the sky.

Accompanied by the call, a crane with black and white feathers, a long neck, and a red crown on its head suddenly broke out from the thick clouds and swooped towards the ground.

It was the Fourth Level flying Spirit Bird, Zhu Topecrane, raised by the Purple Abode Academy!

And behind it, a radiant, magical carriage was being pulled.

The carriage, bolstered by dark brown Spirit Wood and covered with Spirit silkworm silk curtains, was spacious and exquisitely carved. The vehicle was engraved with runes, and its whole body was flowing with the bright light of Formation Energy. In the dim light of the sky, it stood out like a small sun.

Seeing this carriage.

The face of City Lord Xiahou Hongde immediately became serious, and the whispering family heads, too, became solemn.

At the same time, their eyes filled with envy.

Even an ordinary Celestial Prominent Family couldn’t afford a Spirit Beast flying carriage. Probably only units as wealthy as the Purple Abode Academy could afford to provide Spirit Beast flying carriages for the travel of their direct disciples.

Wang Shouzhe was also a bit envious.

Even at the Heavenly Human Realm, mysterious energy would have difficulty supporting the consumption during long journeys of flight. If he had a Spirit Beast flying carriage, it would be very convenient to travel anywhere.

However, such a thing was so rare that he couldn’t afford it for now.

…

While this was happening.

In the sky, several young men and women were sitting in the crane-drawn carriage.

The leading young man, dressed in a sky-blue long robe, had handsome eyebrows, a gentle demeanor, and an impressive overall presence. All the men and women in the carriage looked to him as their leader.

This young man was indeed Fang Youan, the direct disciple of Master Binglan of the Mysterious Ice Palace.

To his left and right were three Core Disciples, two male and one female. They were young, but with extraordinary temperaments, among them was Ji Mingyu.

“Brothers.” A Core Disciple, who was taking a flight on a Spirit Beast carriage for the first time, said in a voice filled with unrestrained excitement as he looked down at the land through the window, “Is that Changning below? From this angle, it really looks grand and majestic.”

“Yangde senior brother.” Ji Mingyu said, “You have been saying the same thing all the way. Stay calm later to avoid losing face in front of the local elites in Changning.”

“Senior brother Mingyu, unlike you born in a noble family and have seen a lot from a young age.” Yangde, the senior brother, chuckled, “This is my first time enjoying a Spirit Beast carriage ride thanks to senior brother Yu An. Don’t worry, I won’t lose face for the academy by keeping calm as befitting of a Core Disciple.”

“Changning? Changning. Why does this name sound so familiar?” One female Core Disciple frowned slightly, “I seem to have heard it somewhere. Brother Yu An, is this your hometown?”

Fang Youan gave a wry smile, “Discussions of family background are prohibited in the academy, but I can make an exception for Sister Long Yan.”

“So it’s Sister Long Yan’s hometown.” Ji Mingyu suddenly got excited, “Does that mean we can meet Wang Shouzhe?”

Everyone looked at him with strange expressions.

You were just recently beaten up by Wang Shouzhe, weren’t you?

Why are you so excited to mention him?
