Chapter 1364 - 41: The Saint Land Now Bears the Wang Name

"It’s just a pity that a Treasure Manual can only be inherited by one person. If I could choose more...," Lingyun sighed. "I want all four of you precious ones, boohoo~ why must it be such a painful choice? Wouldn’t it be great if I could have all four?"

The tone of this Treasure Manual Spirit sounds a bit like a scoundrel.

"Sister Lingyun, it’s okay. I can go to the Immortal Dynasty and snatch a Treasure Manual," Wang Yingxuan said nonchalantly. "With my strength, I’m sure I’ll get the attention of a Treasure Manual."

"Boohoo~ But then you’d belong to another Treasure Manual, huh? Just thinking about it makes my heart ache." Unable to have her share, Lingyun appeared quite distressed, only able to watch helplessly as one after another joined the embrace of other Treasure Manuals.

"Lici, get ready, we’re going to the Immortal Dynasty for the inheritance. We don’t care about this broken Lingyun Treasure Manual." Though Master Yunyang acknowledged Wang Liyao’s prowess, he wasn’t very satisfied with the selection mechanism for the Saintess.

The Lingyun Sacred Land has a quite comprehensive requirement for inheritors, but that doesn’t mean all Treasure Manuals are this comprehensive.

"Leaving now?" Wang Shouzhe slightly frowned, "Elder Yunyang, the big girl rarely comes back, let her stay at the Wang Family’s main residence for a while. Her father, Wang Shouxin, barely caught the last train to the Celestial Human Realm."

"It’s just that my sister-in-law of the Xu Family is too weak, barely reaching the Spirit Platform Realm thanks to piled-up resources. Now, her lifespan is running low, so let’s have Lici accompany her for the last few years."

Xu Family has survived this long thanks to Wang Shouzhe’s help in nurturing and extending her life, but even so, her days are numbered.

"Yeah, yeah." Wang Lici nodded repeatedly, "Fourth Uncle is right, I want to go back to spend a few years with my parents and also see the kids at home. I heard my brother Zongwei, my brother Zongchang, and my sister Liwan all have lots and lots of kids. Have they reached the ’Bao’ generation yet?"

"The ’Bao’ generation? It’s more than just that..." Wang Shouzhe chuckled, "Since that rascal Zongwei turned over a new leaf, although his performance isn’t dazzling, he lives a solid life. Now, he can be considered an ancestral-level figure in the family. Don’t underestimate him; while he may not be highly skilled, he sure is prolific... His descendants certainly take after him in that regard. The only ’You’ generation and the two ’Jin’ generation members are both from his line."

From Wang Shouzhe’s older brother, Wang Shouxin, each generation firmly held the position of the eldest brother and eldest sister.

From Ancestor Wang Zhouxuan’s start of the Wang family lineage, the sons have gone through the characters: Yu, Chen, Qiong, Xiao, Ding, Shou, Zong, Shi, An, Ning, Fu, Bao, You, Yin, Huan, Hong; to Wang Shouzhe’s generation, it’s the seventh generation, and now at the You generation, it’s already the fourteenth generation.

Similarly, the women have passed through the characters: Zhu, Long, Ling, Zhen, Liu, Luo, Li, Ying, Xuan, Mei, Ji, Gui, Jin, Jun, Pei, Ke; and now to the Jin generation, it’s also the fourteenth generation.

Now, little Wang Youjing, who still has a runny nose, is precisely the male head of the fourteenth generation. And the eldest sister among the girls is Wang Jinyi. These little rascals now love running to Shouzhe Courtyard to listen to stories.

As for Wang Shouzhe’s line, it’s only reached the ’Ning’ generation, and each is not too eager to marry and have kids... showing just how deep the obsession of the eldest’s line is with maintaining the eldest roles for each lineage.

"Wow, even the You generation and Jin generation are here, haven’t I become a true ancestor?" Wang Lici exclaimed, both amazed and excited. "I still remember when I accompanied Ancestor Longyan out, how anxious and cautious I was, afraid to serve improperly. Finally, it’s my turn as Ancestor Wang Lici, time to find some juniors to serve me."

This stance truly has a sense of a long-suffering wife turning into the matriarch.

Wang Shouzhe’s face blackened with anger. Ancestor Longyan needed care because she was unwell. You are strong enough to smash a mountain with one punch, yet you expect the juniors to serve you?

The juniors aren’t busy? They’re all caught up with school and work.

Moreover, back then you were just following along for food and drink, responsible only for making the ancestor happy; it was your aunt-in-law who did the actual serving work.

"Lici," Wang Shouzhe said earnestly, "I’ve heard Ning Xi report that you’ve been wandering outside for too long these years, and your knowledge is quite out-of-date. Just as well, it’s time to go back to Upper Clan Academy and have the juniors give you a refresher course."

"What, go-go to school?" Wang Lici’s face stiffened, "Fourth Uncle, I’m already so old, and you want me to go to Clan Academy?"

"What, you’re not willing?" Wang Shouzhe looked at her with a half-smile, "Or have you reached the Purple Mansion Realm, become an Unparalleled Celestial Pride, and the beloved Fairy Lici, and now your Fourth Uncle can’t govern you anymore?"

"No, no, no." Wang Lici’s expression turned worse than crying, forcing a flattering smile, "Fourth Uncle, you’re the boss, whatever you say goes."

"Sister Lici..." Lan Wan’er came over to comfort her, "Don’t cry, it’s just going to school, grit your teeth and close your eyes, it’ll be over quickly."

"Wan’er, you’re truly my good sister." Wang Lici’s heart felt warm. "It’s so great you can accompany me to Clan Academy."

"What? Sister Lici, you misunderstood..."

"I’m not mistaken. Good sisters share the good and the hard times."

"Boohoo~ Sister Lici, you’re too good to me."

"Hey, hey, that Jiang-something Yuan, Yao-something, why are you running away? Come back, come back, let’s take a stroll at our Wang family, and while you’re at it, go to school with us... Not going? Haha~ my Dharma Illusion... Hmm, that’s more like it. We’ve weathered many storms together, and I do feel quite a lot for you all."
