Protect Our Chief-Chapter 629 - 63 Being Too Excellent is Also a Trouble

...

"Fourth Grandfather..." Wang Shihai swallowed and said, "Is your Changning Wang Family really that strong? Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Huangfu Feifei’s bright eyes kept circling around Wang Shouzhe. This Young Master Wang was not only handsome and elegant like an Exiled Immortal, with unfathomable cultivation strength at such a young age, but he was also a promising noble family patriarch?

However, the thought that Wang Shouzhe was already a patriarch brought a touch of disappointment to her eyes. Any noble family patriarch must have a wife and children. This is a law of survival for any noble family. Clan leaders, first wives, eldest legitimate sons, and eldest legitimate daughters are the indispensable foundations of a family, each having their status and responsibilities.

In the face of those few pairs of eager eyes, Wang Shouzhe remained as calm as ever, took a sip of wine, and said, "I came to the Southern Desert firstly to attend the auction, and secondly to experience the local customs."

"Both the Southern Desert Wang Family and the Southern Desert Huangfu Family have stood strong in the Southern Desert for one to two thousand years. They have weathered countless storms and hardships, and the heroic deeds passed down by their ancestors are innumerable. As for the meager achievements of my Wang Family, what’s there to boast about?"

"That’s true..." A proud expression appeared on Wang Shihai’s face, "Our Southern Desert Wang Family has taken root in the Southern Desert, pioneering new frontiers, and countless sacrifices and contributions have been made by our ancestors over the generations."

"But, Fourth Grandfather, your Changning Wang Family’s achievements are not the same as an ordinary Seventh-Grade Noble Family, are they? Our Southern Desert Wang Family has shown a lack of hospitality this time..." At this point, Wang Shihai blushed slightly, a little embarrassed.

There are often many rules governing interactions between noble families. If the Changning Wang Family were an ordinary Seventh-Grade Noble Family, his hospitality would have been adequate.

But with the kind of strength and resources mentioned by Tianyan Fairy, it requires his father to host the entire event to meet the courtesy standards. At the very least, the Young Clan Leader of the Southern Desert Wang Family should have accompanied throughout the event.

"No harm, no harm." Wang Shouzhe laughed and said, "Our Wang Family is only a Seventh Grade. Moreover, Shihai, you are a Direct Lineage Celestial Pride and a future clan elder figure. Don’t belittle yourself. Besides, I quite like you, young man."

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Fourth Grandfather." Wang Shihai grinned with pride. Although he was not the Young Clan Leader, he was a rare Celestial Pride Bloodline, and his future achievements were indeed expected to surpass those of the Young Clan Leader.

"I see that Fourth Grandfather’s cultivation should already be in the Late Stage of the Spirit Platform Realm, right? If my guess is correct, Fourth Grandfather should also be of the Celestial Pride Bloodline?"

"Most likely not just an ordinary Celestial Pride Bloodline," Huangfu Feifei added with a mysterious look in her eyes.

"Not bad, not bad, should be similar to all of you," Wang Shouzhe modestly said, "Let’s all work hard together to strive for early achievement of the Purple Mansion Realm."

Achievement of the Purple Mansion Realm as soon as possible?

"Fourth Grandfather, you speak boldly. The Purple Mansion Realm isn’t so easy to achieve, especially since I’m only in my twenties..." Wang Shihai rolled his eyes. Although he had the Celestial Pride Bloodline, as long as resources were sufficient, there was a great chance for him to reach the Purple Mansion in the future.

However, even for a Celestial Pride, he wouldn’t reach the Celestial Human Realm until his eighties or nineties, and he would have to cultivate for another two to three hundred years before hoping to break through to the Purple Mansion.

The process is excessively lengthy, and any accident could occur along the way. If one accidentally falls into demonization or has bad luck or severe injuries that affect one’s foundational essence, it would all impact the journey to the Purple Mansion.

Therefore, although the status of a Celestial Pride is high, it’s only a Purple Mansion Seed. Not every seed grows into a towering tree. Similarly, not every Purple Mansion Seed becomes a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator.

"I think Young Master Wang is correct. As Celestial Prides, we ought to have higher aspirations. Becoming a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator sooner can alleviate the pressure on the family," Huangfu Feifei said with a glow of confidence in her eyes.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The sound of a few applauses echoed, and Tianyan Fairy looked on with a sigh of envy: "Truly envious of you Celestial Prides with noble family backgrounds... Alas~ pity me..." She sighed deeply, genuinely eliciting sympathy and appearing heartbreakingly charming.

Wang Shihai was about to speak when Wang Shouzhe preempted him, interrupting, "Tianyan Senior. This wine is sweet and smooth, with a lingering taste, very good. Is it also brewed by you, Senior?"

"Tianyan... Senior?" Tianyan Fairy’s eyes watched Wang Shouzhe as if a trace of grievance rose continuously within her... This fellow, why does he always disrupt her plans and rhythm? It’s making her feel suffocated, as if a breath is stuck in her chest.

"Senior is a Celestial Human Realm cultivator. Even with a Celestial Pride Bloodline, you must be at least eighty or ninety, right?" Wang Shouzhe said with a slightly altered gaze, "Calling you Senior, is there anything inappropriate?"

"Not! At! All!" Tianyan Fairy’s beautiful face under the veil twitched uncontrollably, suppressing the urge to vent on Wang Shouzhe. "This wine is called ’Hundred Flowers Intoxication,’ made by using various spirit flowers to brew wine. If Young Master Shouzhe likes it, please drink a few more cups."

"This wine is excellent, worth drinking a few more times," Wang Shouzhe praised.

"Does the young master not wish to hear of this one’s life story because this one comes from a humble background?" Tianyan Fairy coldly asked in a muffled tone, feeling aggrieved.

"Of course not... We came to the pleasure boat for enjoyment. There’s no need to tell stories that are too miserable lest they spoil the drinking mood. Besides, among the hundreds of pleasure boats at Dongchachah Lake, doesn’t every maiden have a bit of a tragic background?" Wang Shouzhe said playfully while enjoying Hundred Flowers Intoxication.
