Protect Our Clan Leader - Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Chapter 21 Shocking! There are direct line successors everywhere (asking for monthly tickets) _1

…

“My apologies, everyone.” Wang Shouye continued to greet the peddlers and independent cultivators around him. With a warm smile on his face, he apologized sincerely, “I’m at fault for delaying everyone’s journey. Please forgive me.”

“Seventh Young Master, you are too polite.”

“Yes, yes, these are trivial matters.”

“We are not in a hurry, there’s nothing serious being delayed. It’s your journey, Seventh Young Master, that truly matters.”

Everyone was flattering the Seventh Young Master with cheerful words. Clearly, he held a prestigious position in their minds.

Regardless, Wang Shouye continued to greet everyone he could.

Eventually, he turned to the elder and Wang Shouyue, having noticed their extraordinary presence. He briefly studied them but didn’t say much. Smiling, he gave them a slight bow. “I have caused you both a delay.”

His demeanor was remarkable, his gentlemanly performance was as pleasant as a spring breeze, greatly increasing likability.

Over time, more people have begun to visit the prosperous Wang Family, Wang Shouye thought.

“No problem, no problem.” The elder smiled, “Seventh Young Master, your movement technique is impressive, quite refined and mature.”

“Too kind, too kind. My technique is average at best, far inferior compared to my elder brothers and sisters in the family.” Wang Shouye replied honestly.

Even though it was true.

No visible change appeared on the elder or Wang Shouyue’s faces, but internally they found it hard to believe.

How could a youngster possess such advanced technique and a high level of cultivation, without being a Spiritual Platform seed in his family?

Could the declining Ping’an Wang Family possibly find the resources to foster two successors for the Spiritual Platform stage?

Hence, they assumed he was merely being modest.

At the same time,

Peddlers, visitors, and independent cultivators who are familiar with the Wang Family, started to share tales about the Seventh Young Master, Wang Shouye.

Seventh Young Master Wang Shouye, from a young age, studied the art of alchemy in the Danfang of the Xu Family in Changning.

Despite his young age, he had already become a Level One Alchemist.

Furthermore, because the Seventh Young Master is good-looking, modest, and has a graceful demeanor, he is widely admired and favored by the younger generation in Changning.

Many young ladies from prominent families have set their sights on him, frequently visiting the Xu Family Danfang under the pretense of buying medicines or seeking medical consultation. Some even brought alchemy materials, insisting that the Seventh Young Master help with their alchemy, explicitly stating that he would not be held accountable if the process failed.

This situation left the person in charge of Danfang quite perplexed. While their business improved overall, other resident alchemists began to voice complaints.

Why did everyone ask Wang Shouye for alchemy?

Could the prowess of this young lad, Wang Shouye, really surpass their vast experience?

Was, being good-looking and hailing from a good family, proof that the elixirs he refined were also better?

That Wang Shouye was able to become a Level One Alchemist at such a young age was simply because his family was too wealthy. They allowed him to squander medicinal herbs without worrying about the cost.

His skill was completely a result of endless resources.

However, as soon as these “rumors” were spread, those few alchemists were ambushed in an alley by a group of young ladies from prominent families, thrown into sacks, and ruthlessly beaten.

There are countless similar bizarre stories.

Clearly, Wang Shouye, the Seventh Young Master, had quite a reputation in Changning.

Upon hearing these stories,

The elder and Wang Shouyue shared a glance, both somewhat puzzled.

Has the Ping’an Wang Family really declined to the point where they have to send the inheritor of their direct lineage to learn alchemy at someone else’s Danfang?

Typically,

Successors from prominent families rarely dedicate themselves to mastering a certain craft. They have too many other things to learn.

In addition, they are required to diligently cultivate in order to impact the Spirit Platform Stage as soon as possible. Dedicating time to a side pursuit would delay their cultivation.

But let it be, there is no need to overthink. The Ping’an Wang Family must have their own plans.

Neither of them was in a hurry to approach Wang Shouye and introduce themselves as relatives.

While they were somewhat shocked by his impressive skills, they felt it was only normal.

After all, even though the Wang Family was in decline, it was still possible for them to cultivate a successor of this level if they gritted their teeth and bore the cost.

Especially Wang Shouyue, he was only two to three years older than Wang Shouye. Being at the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm level seven, he felt that he might have a chance to impact the Spiritual Platform Stage before he turned thirty.

With a slightly proud mindset, when compared to Wang Shouye, the successor of the direct lineage from the Ping’an Wang Family, Wang Shouyue seemed somewhat “ordinary”.

Just at this moment,

A cargo ship fully loaded with goods like smoked fish and dried salted fish was slowly approaching the shore. The boatload of fish was obviously highly valuable.

The leader on the ship was a lean young man around twenty-five or twenty-six. Upon seeing Wang Shouye, he exclaimed excitedly, “Young Master, you’re back to Ping’an? You didn’t even come back during the New Year. Sea Lord will be thrilled to hear that you’re back.”

“Oh, it’s Brother Goudan.” Wang Shouye shouted from afar, “How has my father been recently? I haven’t seen him for a long time.” Wang Goudan, from a cadet branch of the Wang Family, had been following his father around since he was young.

“Sea Lord is very energetic!” Wang Goudan replied cheerfully, “Over the past two months, he has been focusing on a Level Three aquatic fierce beast that invaded our waters. He says he wants to catch it to nourish your body.”

Wang Shouye couldn’t help laughing: “My father loves fishing most. It seems he’ll never get over this hobby.” Nowadays, his father, Wang Dinghai, was in charge of all the fishing fleets and no longer needed to be personally involved.

As they conversed, the ferry gradually left the pier and slowly sailed towards the center of the river.
