This woman holds imnse nurturing potential.
Moreover, though she is only twenty-three years old, she has already reached the Third Layer of the Qi Refining Realm. Such cultivation, while not as advanced as the bloodline disciples of the family, is not far behind. Hence, her talent is not lacking, and she must also be working extrely hard.
Beside her, Wang Zhong was also taken aback for quite a while before he returned to his senses, smiling wryly, "Wang i, I’ve seen you use makeup techniques before, but never as impressive as this. Truly remarkable."
"Uncle Zhong, it’s just that since I was young and had a plain appearance, I gradually ca to enjoy makeup, entertaining myself behind closed doors." Wang i’s voice was lodious and nimble, her expressive eyes glancing briefly at Wang Zhong, "These minor skills aren’t worthy of the spotlight."
Wang Zhong’s heart pounded like a drum, his breath quickening, as he turned away, "Wang i, please don’t speak to like that anymore, I already have a wife and children."
Were he not so familiar with Wang i, as a man in his thirties or forties, he might have fallen for her charms at this mont.
Wang Shouzhe watched and chuckled inwardly; would he have taken the bait if not for his family commitnts?
"Alright, then this task shall be entrusted to Wang i." Wang Shouzhe coughed lightly and said solemnly, "Wang Zhong, you are usually calm and steady, and you will oversee this intelligence operation. You can requisition family mbers as necessary, and you must ensure Wang i’s safety, avoiding excessive risk to complete the task."
"Wang Zhong accepts the order," Wang Zhong replied seriously, bowing with utmost respect and seriousness.
"Wang i," Wang Shouzhe continued, "Your makeup technique may seem minor, but if used well, it will beco a significant asset. However, your style is overpowered by makeup fragrances, and your deanor often leans too much towards delicate affectation. Against the inexperienced younger generation, that’s fine, but it may not suffice against those sly old foxes of the world."
Afterward, Wang Shouzhe casually shared so theories from past insights, sharing them with Wang i. Techniques like how to present oneself as an elegantly cultivated lady, or how to appear profound and unfathomable through careless gestures.
Things like feigned indifference while truly engaging, or the appearance of closeness masking actual distance!
In Wang Shouzhe’s previous life, there was an abundance of such things, even dedicated courses for nurturing elegant young won, and infamously various PUA trainings and practices.
By sheer exposure, his understanding of the theoretical knowledge was far more advanced and comprehensive than Wang i’s.
Wang i’s eyes brightened more and more, as the patriarch opened a new world for her, revealing vast opportunities awaiting her pursuit.
However, Wang Zhong and Wang Gui found it increasingly unsettling, their bodies trembling.
If Wang i could truly achieve as the patriarch envisioned, would there be any refuge left for n in this world? Wouldn’t her targets be at her rcy, one by one?
"Rember this well, you cannot let the target achieve success in the end," Wang Shouzhe admonished, "First, as a Wang Family General, I don’t wish for you to make such a sacrifice. Second, for n, what they cannot have is most beautiful, leading to boundless imagination and the potential for future utility."
"Wang i will rember the patriarch’s teachings," Wang i was convinced, feeling warmth in how the patriarch protected her, reflecting his profound understanding of human nature and his far-sighted strategy.
After receiving their tasks, Wang Zhong and Wang i departed.
"Wang Gui, go fetch Wang Yong, Wang Wu, and Wang An," Wang Shouzhe instructed again.
Unexpectedly, Wang Gui, who was usually eager to serve, stood in a daze, seemingly caught up in Wang i’s allure. Annoyed, Wang Shouzhe kicked him over, "Can’t you show so promise?"
"Patriarch, I was wrong," Wang Gui imdiately snapped out of it, hurriedly apologizing, then hesitated with a hint of expectancy, "Patriarch, do you think there’s a chance for and i i? Our statuses should be fairly compatible..."
"Heh~" Wang Shouzhe gave him a look, "Wake up. I can tell that Wang i isn’t a woman content to stay at ho as a wife and mother. Her ambitions exceed what you imagine, and you won’t be able to control her. If you’re genuinely looking to settle down, I’ll scout for branches of families with ancestral bloodline connections for you. Now get to work."
"Yes, Patriarch." Wang Gui hurriedly scrambled out.
Taking this opportunity, Wang Shouzhe brewed a pot of spirit tea for himself, sipping slowly to calm and focus. Among the household generals, soone like Wang i, with such extraordinary talent, erged.
However, if it weren’t for Wang Shouzhe taking the reins, and if the more traditional Wang Dingyue were still patriarch, Wang i’s exceptional talent might never see the light of day, possibly never being recognized.
But having discovered such a precious talent, Wang Shouzhe could not let it go to waste. Using it against the younger disciples of the Liu Family and Zhao Family was rely an initial practice for Wang i.
Once this matter is settled, creating a secretive organization centered around Wang i is imperative, building a comprehensive intelligence agency under Wang Shouzhe’s control.
But such plans are premature, reliant on her performance this ti.
For now, set it aside.
Soon after, Wang Yong and several other household generals reported in, receiving their respective orders and setting off to handle their assigned tasks.
And so, Wang Shouzhe found himself montarily unoccupied.
As the head of a family, he naturally couldn’t, nor needed to, manage everything personally. Micromanaging would only undermine their ability to handle affairs, and leave him with insufficient ti and energy.
At this juncture.
A voice ca from outside the door, "Is the patriarch available? I’m Wang Xiaoyu, the maid from Miss Luoyi’s room."
"Co in." Wang Shouzhe said.
At the entrance of the side hall, a young maid of about eighteen or nineteen walked in. She was quite pretty, much more so than Wang i. However, compared to Wang i’s allure after using an evil technique, she was not on the sa level at all.
One has to admit, the Makeup Technique, one of the three great evil arts, is truly terrifying.
Wang Xiaoyu dared not look up at Wang Shouzhe. She respectfully said, "Xiaoyu pays respects to the Patriarch. Miss Luoyi said it has been so days since she last saw the Patriarch and has specially sent Xiaoyu to ask if the Patriarch has ti to dine together."
Wang Luoyi.
That was Wang Shouzhe’s full-blooded elder sister. In his mory, the two siblings had a deep bond, relying on each other after losing their mother at a young age.
Imdiately, a sense of longing surged in his heart, and he nodded, saying, "Go back and inform my sister that I’ll make slight preparations and head over."
Wang Xiaoyu accepted the order and withdrew.
anwhile, with the help of the servant Wang Gui, Wang Shouzhe washed his face, tidied his clothes, and looked at himself in the large copper mirror. Hmm, his appearance seed quite heroic and outstanding, full of vitality yet not lacking in reserve, a very good look indeed.
If he had this look and deanor on Earth, Wang Shouzhe reckoned he could live off his face alone.
Wang Shouzhe took so Spirit Tea, the sea treasures brought back by the Hundred Islands Guard, and a few gold pearls infused with Spiritual Qi. With the gifts prepared and carried by Wang Gui, he then leisurely strolled over.
Back then, Ancestor Zhou Xuan, for long-term considerations, had planned and built the main residence very large. Sister Wang Luoyi’s courtyard was more secluded, and it took nearly a quarter of an hour to walk there.
In this main residence, there were many kinds of vegetation everywhere, lush and verdant. Especially since so ancient species and trees were planted at the ti, now over a hundred years have passed, and they have grown into towering trees, with canopies stretching to provide shade. Walking under the sun not only does not scorch but gives a sense of coolness.
This fully embodies the saying "the descendants enjoy the shade of trees planted by their ancestors."
The closer the main residence is to the mountains, the quieter it becos. This place was mostly for daughters and younger family mbers to live, except for the very young ones who would live with their parents, the rest would move out to live independently.
Besides the courtyards, there were also small ponds, rockeries, flower beds, pavilions, corridors, and more, with quite an elegant scenery.
Wang Shouzhe was strolling along, enjoying this rare peace when suddenly.
A burst of noise ca from ahead.
"Wang Shou Lian, if you lose, you’ll see what happens!" A sowhat bossy little girl’s voice sounded.
"Go, Fifth Brother! I support you. Losing to Sixth Brother would be too embarrassing." Another familiar girl’s voice, alright, it was Wang Luojing’s voice.
At the sa ti.
The sounds of punching and kicking, and the clash of Qi Force were heard.
Were Fifth and Sixth engaged in a spar?
Among the male Shou generation of the Ping’an Wang Family, from the oldest Wang Shouxin to the youngest Wang Shouye, there were seven in total. Wang Shouzhe was only ranked fourth, with three younger brothers behind him.
The ones sparring now were Fifth Brother Wang Shouyong and Sixth Brother Wang Shou Lian.
Such is the way of Noble Families. The longer the family history, the greater the age gaps within the sa generation.
Wang Shouzhe smiled and decided not to join the commotion, lest the few of them beco restrained.
Just as he was about to slip away quietly, he suddenly heard Big Girl Wang Lici’s voice: "Wang Shouyong, Wang Shou Lian, haven’t you eaten? Your blows are so weak, what kind of n are you?"
"Big Girl, stop causing trouble from the sidelines." Wang Shouyong called out, "If you’re so good, why don’t you co up?"
"Yeah, Big Girl, you have to call us uncle!" Wang Shou Lian chid in while fighting, "Our generation is higher than yours."
"Sigh, what good is a higher generation? I gave you my fish snacks for nothing, and they didn’t increase your strength at all." Wang Lici sighed deeply, "Sigh, with how you are, how can you beat Uncle Four, that Great Demon King?"
Uncle Four...
Great Demon King?
Wang Shouzhe touched his nose in bewildernt. When did he get this nickna?
