Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 219: Chapter 18: The Wang Family of Longzuo and the Purple Abode Academic Palace_1

…

“Master Binglan has always highly regarded Aunt Longyan,” Old Ancestor Xuanfu said. “Over the past several decades, I’ve heard multiple times mention of Longyan from Master Binglan in front of all core disciples. After each time, her mood would not be very good for several days. Obviously, she is still deeply concerned about Longyan.”

“How many direct disciples does Master Binglan have?” Wang Shouzhe asked thoughtfully.

“Only one, the Mysterious Ice lineage has always been small in number,” Old Ancestor Xuanfu said with a puzzled look. “Shouzhe, why do you ask?”

“I’m naturally trying to calculate just how much Master Binglan misses Aunt Longyan,” Wang Shouzhe stated calmly, “Our Old Ancestor, in the Spirit Platform Realm, belongs amongst the high segment of the second level of the Mysterious Ice Bloodline, and there is a promising future in the Heavenly Human Realm. However, whether or not they can ultimately reach the Purple Abode Realm, I’m afraid it still requires a proactive engagement.”

“Indeed,” Old Ancestor Longyan concurred realistically, “Unless specific opportunities arise, it will be difficult for me to attain the Purple Abode Realm in this lifetime.”

“Old Ancestor, how many of Master Binglan’s disciples share your same bloodline?” Wang Shouzhe continued to inquire.

“When I left, only three remained,” Old Ancestor Longyan disclosed, “Among them, a senior brother and senior sister have already reached the Heavenly Human Realm. However, after reaching the Heavenly Human Realm, they each awakened an additional bloodline, significantly enhancing their overall strength.”

“Then, amongst all of Master Binglan’s disciples, our Old Ancestor should rank amongst the top five in her esteem,” Wang Shouzhe pondered, “Conversely considered important, she would be very regretful to lose this disciple, but it has not yet reached the point of indispensability. In this sense, there may be a chance to leverage the relationship to some extent, but it will be somewhat challenging to rely entirely on her.”

“Unless the Old Ancestor can exhibit greater potential, such as reaching the Third Level Bloodline in the Spirit Platform Realm.”

Old Ancestor Xuanfu rolled her eyes: “You kid, do you see human hearts as something you can calculate at will? Dare to presume the thoughts of respected Masters.”

This is not a presumption, Wang Shouzhe thought secretly.

Based on Wang Shouzhe’s understanding and various deductions, Master Binglan does indeed value Old Ancestor Longyan considerably, and she was quite regretful to lose this disciple. But indeed, it wasn’t to an extent where it had to be her and no one else.

This has nothing to do with anything else; it’s merely human nature. Even the Masters can’t escape it.

“Anyway, this is roughly the situation. After the New Year, we’ll set off for the Academic Palace at the beginning of spring,” Old Ancestor Xuanfu said.

“Old Ancestor Xuanfu, how many direct disciples and core disciples does Master Changchun have?” Wang Shouzhe asked again.

He now nominally belongs to Master Changchun’s school, but is merely an outsider student by name.

“Master Changchun currently has two direct disciples and around seventeen or eighteen core disciples,” Old Ancestor Xuanfu disclosed. “Shouzhe, are you asking this because you want to compete for the position of direct disciple?”

Speaking of this, her eyes brightened.

If Shouzhe was willing to go to the Purple Abode Academic Palace as an official disciple, wouldn’t that mean Ruolan would have to go too?

To be honest.

Old Ancestor Xuanfu still hoped that Liu Ruolan would have the chance to go to the Purple Abode Academic Palace and become an official disciple.

After all, Changning was too small, and Ping’an Town was even more rural.

Only by standing on the big platform of the Academic Palace could she see a wider world and develop better.

Old Ancestor Xuanfu immediately said, “Shouzhe, with your current Bloodline Talent, if you give up the position of Family Head and join the Academic Palace to focus on cultivation, you might indeed have a shot at becoming a direct disciple under Master Changchun.”

Give up the position of Clan Leader?

What a joke!

Wang Shouzhe needs his family’s powerful influence for his future path in the Heavenly Human Realm, and even the Purple Abode Realm.

Land cultivation is the royal road.

With enough financial and material resources, you can change your fate.

As for the foreign trial grounds left behind by the Old Ancestor, they were indeed a pleasant surprise.

But even without the trial grounds.

Wang Shouzhe has enough confidence that with his ongoing land cultivation, he would prosper; it would just be a bit slower.

Of course, if he had the chance to establish connections in the Purple Abode Academic Palace and boost his background, that would be fantastic.

“I’m used to being free and unrestrained, so being an outside Student is enough. Being a core disciple, let alone a direct disciple, would be too tiring,” Wang Shouzhe stated carelessly.

Old Ancestor Xuanfu was left speechless. The kid is too free and casual, ruining even her dear Ruolan.

Other people fight to the death for a spot as a core disciple.

If they manage to get the status of a direct disciple, it’s like soaring into the skies overnight; an instant advancement.

But in his eyes, these statuses like core disciple or direct disciple, seem worthless.

“There is also another matter,” Old Ancestor Xuanfu said, “Aunt Longyan also mentioned to me that at least one member of the Wang Family, preferably, should join the Purple Abode Academic Palace. In this way, she can develop well in the Academic Palace, gradually mature to become a reinforcement for the family.”

After a little thought, Wang Shouzhe realized this is what most prominent families are doing or planning to do.

Even Heavenly Human prominent families would send a capable member to develop in the Academic Palace. If they could grow to a middle-ranking position in the palace and form a mutual aid relationship with the family, it would ensure the rapid and enduring development of the family.

Take Old Ancestor Xuanfu for example. After becoming a core disciple in the Academic Palace, she has been secretly supporting the family. As a result, the overall strength and foundation of the Shanyin Liu Family has rapidly developed within a few decades.
