Chapter 1300 - 25: The Wang Family is a Demon Cave! (Part 3)

"Second Grandpa, regarding the Blood Venerable, I’ll follow your orders completely," Wang Anye said with a bow.

"Definitely not..." Wang Zongchang waved his hand and took out all the prepared information about the Blood Venerable, pushing it in front of Wang Anye. "Study the information carefully. I’ll listen to you regarding the specifics; we’ll proceed as you decide."

Wang Zongchang was well aware of his own worth and opportunities. The only notable opportunity in his life was that time he was parasitized by the Wedding Robe Blood Gu, which nearly cost him his life.

This matter really had to be led by Wang Anye for it to develop in a better direction.

Wang Anye was at a loss regarding this.

Since childhood, these elders have been overly superstitious about his luck, although he himself thought his luck was just average. Isn’t it normal to find things while out?

Taking his wives and Zongkun diving, encountering an underwater trench and getting stuck, only to be soaked in the essence of the seabed Spirit Vein turning him into an Unparalleled Celestial Pride, although it was a bit absurd, he did endure many hardships in the process.

Is anything ever smooth sailing?

But, let them be superstitious. After all, he couldn’t persuade these obstinate elders; remember when Second Grandpa used to encourage him to jump off a cliff all day as a child.

Grumbling to himself, Wang Anye also carefully studied all the known information.

However, after reviewing the information, he couldn’t help but frown: "The scoped range is too large, with no specific clues. How are we supposed to start looking? Isn’t this like finding a needle in a haystack?"

Wang Zongchang suddenly chuckled.

He patted Wang Anye’s shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Anye, if there were really clear directional clues, would it need you to take action? How about this, just pick a direction at random, and we’ll set off..."

"Second Grandpa, that’s too casual."

Wang Anye was utterly speechless with the elders in his family.

Choosing a direction randomly? What kind of exceptional strategy was that?

"Should I casually suggest something?" Wang Zongchang mused, "Previously, we found Ice Demon Island outside the Hundred Islands Guard, which is a branch base of the Blood Nest. Anye, do you think the Blood Venerable’s lair might be in the eastern sea?"

"It’s possible, but the likelihood isn’t very high," Wang Anye thought carefully, "Throughout these years, I’ve been hunting in the sea with Zongkun, unintentionally picking up many treasures but never seeing any signs of the Blood Venerable’s lair."

"Then we’ll temporarily exclude the East Sea," Wang Zongchang continued, "The southeast direction, all the way to where the Divine Martial Army’s new recruits are trained, is our Wang Family’s main exploration direction; also showing no similar unusual signs. What do you think, Anye?"

"There is a potential for oversight since theoretically, the Blood Venerable’s lair is concealed," Wang Anye considered, "But it might not be the primary exploration direction."

"That’s very clear then." Wang Zongchang clapped his hands, "Heading north again leads to familiar grounds in Longzuo County, which is naturally not suitable as a starting direction. So, we can only head southwest."

Wang Anye thought carefully, nodding in agreement: "The southwest is mostly Desolate Marsh areas, with a mix of unknown entities inside. Few people can deeply explore, making it indeed a suitable primary exploration. I recall An Xin is overseeing the marsh reclamation project. We can go find him to inquire about any unusual occurrences."

"Since Anye, you’ve said this, then it’s probably correct. That’s settled," Wang Zongchang stood up to bid farewell, "These few days, spend time with your family at home. Once you’re rested, find me anytime to depart."

Have they finished discussing already!? Isn’t it too hasty?

Wang Anye felt both helpless and exhausted.

Are these elders too confident in him? After all, in his own view, he, Wang Anye, is just an ordinary guy at best, occasionally having better luck.

But luck is ephemeral and elusive.

Oh well~ Since Second Grandpa is so confident, I might as well give it a try.

After sending off Wang Zongchang,

Wang Anye, along with his two wives, went to visit his great-grandmother Liua Ruolan, only to find that they were enthralled in mahjong, faintly hearing Your Majesty’s reluctant voice: "Ruolan, this time I’ve brought enough capital, I’ll fight again."

Alright!

Wang Anye turned back with his wives and proceeded to visit his grandmother Xu Family and his mother Qiaan Family in order.

This was the filial duty of the younger generation.

Except for his great-grandfather, who temporarily went to the Saint Land for work, Wang Anye’s grandfather and father were both busy, one continuing the reclamation and construction in the Dara Desert, the other assisting Emperor’s Son An in handling affairs.

Only during major festivals or the New Year would they travel far to reunite with the family. However, that’s how it always is with families; men need to handle family businesses externally.

By comparison, Wang Anye’s workload was relatively light; aside from Fish Herding, he was just nominally attached to the clan industry. Most of the time, his great-grandfather encouraged him to travel as he pleased.

After all, venturing out means he can bring more things home.

According to his great-grandfather, who knows, he might return with a Treasure Manual, Immortal Scripture, or Dao Artifact, Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Pill, etc.!

After visiting all the elders, the three of them unknowingly ate to their fill, so they simply rested at home.
