Protect Our Clan Leader - Chapter 297

Chapter 297: Chapter 50: Rising Stars! The Young Men of the Wang Family_2

At this moment.

Inside the main residence.

A young man quickly walked out, greeting with a smile, “Sixth Uncle, why didn’t you notify us when you returned? I could’ve met you at Dingpu Ferry.”

This young man appeared to be about twenty-two or three years old, quite handsome, striding with an assertiveness similar to that of a tiger or dragon. His restrained energy revealed a look of respectable cultivation.

Upon seeing him, Wang Shoulian burst into laughter and patted him heavily, “Zongchang, it’s only been half a year and you’ve already broken through the Vital Energy Refining Realm to the mid Level Seven. That’s worth celebrating.”

This young man was the second of the eighth generation with the surname of the Wang family – Wang Zongchang.

He was the second son of Wang Shouxin’s elder brother and the younger brother of Wang Licui.

Wang Zongchang chuckled ruefully while rubbing his shoulder, “Sixth Uncle, you’re just a year older than me, but you’re already at the high segment of the Vital Energy Refining Realm level seven. There’s no way I can catch up.”

Wang Shoulian and Wang Zongchang, one twenty-two, the other twenty-three.

Despite the differences in generation, their ages were similar. They had been close since they were young.

Being able to reach such a cultivation level at such a young age among the children of prominent families, they were considered youths of exceptional talent. This was no less, even slightly better than Chen Fangjie.

During the exchange.

Wang Zongchang noticed Zhou Qingning and immediately became serious, “Sixth Uncle, is this Miss Qingning you mentioned in your letter?”

“Yes,” Wang Shoulian replied with a trace of pride, “Zongchang, why don’t you greet your Sixth Aunt.”

Wang Zongchang quickly and jokingly bowed, “Zongchang greets Sixth Aunt.”

Zhou Qingning’s cheek reddened, she admonished Wang Shoulian with a playful glare, “I haven’t agreed to marry you yet.”

“Ha-ha.” Wang Shoulian laughed, “I’m set on Qing. I’ll be yours in life and death, Zhou Qingning, you can’t get rid of me.”

“You’re truly despicable and shameless.” Zhou Qingning cursed, her face slightly red, but there was a smile in her eyes.

Watching all this, Wang Zongchang quietly gave his sixth uncle a thumbs up. True to his reputation, his thick skin was almost on par with Fourth Uncle.

“By the way, Zongchang, it’s good that you’re here. Come with me to see Fourth Brother.” Wang Shoulian said.

Upon learning that he would have to meet Fourth Uncle.

Wang Zongchang felt nervous, “Sixth Uncle, you know that I’ve been afraid to see Fourth Uncle since I was a child.”

“I’m afraid too.” Wang Shoulian immediately grabbed him, “If we go together, it should help share the pressure.”

And so, they proceeded.

Accompanied by Wang Zongchang, Wang Shoulian led Zhou Qingning into the main residence, heading straight for Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard.

Before he managed to announce himself.

A striking and slightly mature woman stepped out from the courtyard.

The woman gave Wang Shoulian a slight smile, “There’s no need to notify, Sixth Young Master, the Family Head is expecting you.”

After saying that, she gracefully gave a bow and left.

“What…” Wang Shoulian was quite puzzled, “Zongchang, who is this… couldn’t be that Fourth Brother went to the Purple Abode Academical Palace and brought back a senior student sister?”

“No.” Wang Zongchang scratched his head, somewhat perplexed as well, “During recent disaster relief efforts, I didn’t see any senior student sister.”

Following that, the two looked at each other, somewhat surprised and uncertain, it can’t be…

This feels like something bad is about to happen.

At this moment, they heard a gentleman’s voice, “Shoulian, Zongchang. Why are you hesitating at the gate? You’re bringing guests, don’t be impolite, come in quickly.”

Wang Shoulian and Wang Zongchang quickly straightened their faces, bowed to the courtyard and replied, “Yes, Fourth Brother/Fourth Uncle.”

Then guiding Zhou Qingning, the two gingerly entered to pay their respects.

The three of them walked into the courtyard together.

In the center of the courtyard stood a calm, heroic, and authoritative young man.

He didn’t pay attention to his younger brother and nephew.

Smiling lightly at Zhou Qingning, Wang Mou said, “Miss Qingning, I apologize for not coming out to greet you personally.”

Given Wang Shouzhe’s intelligence network, how could he not know Zhou Qingning?

If he didn’t even know who his sixth brother’s girlfriend was, how could he compete with those who were once his secret rivals?

Zhou Qingning quickly bowed and said, “Qingning pays her respects to the Wang Family Head.”

Wang Shoulian and Wang Zongchang also hurriedly bowed in respect.

After the formal greetings.

Wang Shouzhe entertained them in the side hall.

As the hostess, Liu Ruolan personally served spiritual tea and some fresh fruits and snacks to her brother, nephew, and Miss Qingning.

This was a necessary etiquette.

The three of them quickly rose to thank Liu Ruolan.

On an ordinary day, Liu Ruolan would not want to interrupt their brotherly discussions.

Today, with Zhou Qingning present, she accompanied her and chatted with her to help alleviate the young girl’s nervousness.

“Sixth Uncle has good taste and is also very lucky.” Liu Ruolan lavished praise on Zhou Qingning, “Not only is Miss Qingning very beautiful, but she also has a valiant personality. It is rare to find such a great girl.”

With this praise, Zhou Qingning’s cheek turned slightly red and she lowered her head in silence.

Wang Shoulian took her hand and said to Wang Shouzhe, “Fourth Brother, we need your help with this matter. After all, Qingning was born in a military prominent family. My father he…”

Military prominent families and local families are two different systems, usually not intermarrying, therefore this is also a hindrance between Wang Shoulian and Zhou Qingning.

Before he could finish his words, Wang Shouzhe interrupted and said, “You don’t need to say much, as long as you decide to spend your life with Miss Qingning, I will talk to your father.”

With a mix of surprise and joy, Wang Shoulian took Zhou Qingning’s hand and thanked Wang Shouzhe, “Thank you, Fourth Brother, for standing up for us.”

Knowing the kind of man his fourth brother was, if he promised, he would definitely keep it.

Zhou Qingning also blushed and thanked Wang Shouzhe.

Wang Shouzhe continued with Liu Ruolan, “Wife, the wedding of my younger brother is a big matter, especially when the other party is from a military prominent family. We have to be meticulous in handling the marriage etiquette and adapting to their traditions to avoid any talk. But you, being the eldest lady of the Wang family, should take charge of this.”

“Yes, my lord.” Liu Ruolan nodded, “For the matter of Sixth Uncle, I will handle it properly.”

Naturally, Wang Shoulian and Zhou Qingning thanked them again and again.

They never expected things to go so smoothly, their hearts were filled with joy.

After settling this matter.

The expression on Wang Shoulian’s face became serious as he started to discuss important matters, “Fourth Brother, our father asked me to report that the western half of our Changning Guard City has suffered a lot due to the flood. And the Dingnan Town and the two other Guard Cities have suffered even heavier losses. Particularly the Zhentze Guard City is almost completely submerged, with many victims.”

“Many survivors have started moving east, and some have arrived at our Changning Guard City.”

Wang Zongchang’s face changed, “The losses are so severe?”

When Ping’an Town was fighting the disaster earlier, everyone had worked together to overcome the crisis. He had thought that this flood wasn’t much but he didn’t expect that it was actually so severe upstream.

“If the water level starts to drop, I’m afraid it’ll lead to an epidemic, right?” Liu Ruolan also frowned with worry.

An epidemic is extremely frightening, and once it begins to spread, it could easily turn into a major disaster.

“We must be prepared,” Wang Shouzhe said with a solemn expression, “Zongchang, you go to Donghaei Guard City and Hundred Islands Guard City today and try to buy as many medicinal supplies as possible.”

“Yes, Fourth Uncle.”

Wang Zongchang responded solemnly. He was now an adult and gradually becoming a pillar of their family. He was no longer the young man he used to be.

“Moreover, our father heard from the City Lord that the Disciples of the Purple Abode School are leading a team for disaster relief. The City Lord’s intention is that all those who are heads of families at the eighth grade and seventh rank should personally welcome the disaster relief team from the Purple Abode School.” Wang Shoulian added.

“A Disciple from the Academy? Wang Shouzhe raised an eyebrow a bit, “Do you know which Disciple it is?”

“About that…” Wang Shoulian shook his head helplessly, “The City Lord did not say, and our father did not dare to ask more.”
