...
Days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days had gone by.
On the beautiful Dongchachah Lake, a splendidly styled pleasure boat drifted along.
This was the famous Celestial Splendor Boat.
Inside the spacious pavilion of the pleasure boat.
A group of young people dressed in elegant and stylish attire were drinking fine wine, listening to elegant tunes, and boasting grandly.
"Speaking of which, on that dark and windy night," the Junior Prince Wu Jinghao said dramatically, "that ruthless Zuoqiu Qingyun used despicable ans of poisoning..."
A quarter of an hour later.
"I, Junior Prince Wu Jinghao, battled that vile scoundrel for three hundred rounds!"
A quarter of an hour later.
"Who would have thought that the scoundrel would be so despicable..."
A quarter of an hour later.
"Despite that scoundrel’s insults, I remained unmoved... Of course, while Shihai and the others’ performance was slightly inferior to mine, overall it was decent."
"Junior Prince is mighty, Junior Prince is impressive."
A group of a dozen or so young progeny flattered the Junior Prince with all sorts of praises.
"Junior Prince, tell us more about Fairy Youqing, is she really as formidable as the rumors say?"
"Ah, Fairy Youqing, even though she tried hard to hide her origin, under my discerning eyes, I instantly saw through her true colors..."
"Junior Prince, I heard your father was grounded?"
"Naturally, just a few days ago, Master Yaoguang of Qeng’an Academy personally arrived at our Southern Desert County City. In front of Lord Governor, my father, and Zuoqiu Family Ancestor, I showcased the Celestial Secret Recording Disc, and oh my, you can’t imagine the scene.
Master Yaoguang first saw the arrogant deanor of Zuoqiu Qingyun in the earlier part of the recording, and then saw the latter part with the untouched influences from his younger days, and he was so enraged that he crushed the Celestial Secret Recording Disc."
"And my father was grounded by my mother with a fit of rage at ho."
"There’s sothing else you wouldn’t imagine. Zuoqiu Family had an estate in our Southern Desert County called ’Qian Garden.’ After Zuoqiu Qingyun got into trouble, the Governor’s Mansion sealed and searched it. Guess what they found in the secret room? Filth that was outrageous and utterly heinous!!"
"Fortunately, Shihai and I had already discovered that Zuoqiu Qingyun was up to no good."
"Junior Prince and Young Master Shihai have made great contributions this ti. It’s said that the Governor even gave them considerable rewards. The Princess Consort of Southern Desert rewarded the Junior Prince with a million Qian Gold."
The Junior Prince smiled with imnse satisfaction, waving his hand grandly: "Everyone, feel free to eat and drink, it’s all on , the Junior Prince! Tianyan, play another tune for everyone~"
Tianyan Fairy, sitting beside them, though her eyes were filled with a smile, the charming face beneath her veil was a bit stiff. These cheeky little rascals just wouldn’t stop boasting.
If it weren’t for the fact that they truly did co forward to heroically save the day back then, she, Tianyan Fairy, might have kicked them all into the river.
Even Wang Shouzhe sat beside them, watching the scene with a smile, occasionally sipping his little wine and appearing to be in a rather good mood. These free-spirited and sowhat naive young people reminded him of the long-lost youth.
He didn’t dislike the Junior Prince and Wang Shihai; compared to soone like Zuoqiu Qingyun, who was bad to the core, these young people were rather endearingly innocent.
"Are you satisfied now?" Tianyan Fairy shot him a glance before transmitting a voice ssage, "You orchestrated everything from behind the scenes, resolving the hidden threats and distancing yourself from the matter entirely."
"Fairy mustn’t speak nonsense," Wang Shouzhe replied with laughter through transmitted voice, "This matter has nothing to do with . The Junior Prince and the others can vouch that this was all done by the Saint Land Celestial Pride, Cao Youqing."
"Cao Youqing, hehe~" Tianyan Fairy felt utterly wronged and couldn’t express it.
...
Several days later.
Wang Shouzhe bid farewell to the Southern Desert Wang Family and embarked on his journey ho.
The Southern Desert Wang Family also expressed that in the near future, they would send young family mbers and elders for a trip to Longzhou to visit the Longzuo Wang Family and the Changning Wang Family.
However, Wang Shihai couldn’t hold back and left early with Wang Shouzhe.
This trip to Southern Desert, although taking Wang Shouzhe two or three months in total, resulted in great gains. The Infinite Treasure Pill allowed Wang Shouzhe to successfully ascend to Great Celestial Pride.
Moreover, the relationship with the Southern Desert Wang Family had rapidly ward. Nurous other scattered gains were significant as well.
Let’s not ntion the return journey for now.
The Wang Family of today was no longer the weak Wang Family of the past. Even if Clan Leader Wang Shouzhe wasn’t ho for a short ti, the family would continue to develop smoothly according to its normal trajectory.
Changning Guard, Ping’an Town.
Zhuwei Lakefront.
As June approached, the weather grew increasingly hot. The wheat’s filling period had long ended, and strings of golden, heavy wheat ears hung in the lakeside wheat fields, presenting a scene of abundant harvests as far as the eye could see.
On the embanknt by the lake, tenant farrs were shirtless, opening the sluice gates, using the water diversion device built by the Wang Family to channel lake water into the ditches to irrigate the wheat fields.
On the wide foreign cent roads, won with baskets in hand walked with children, heading out to the fields to deliver als to their n.
On the sparkling lake surface, fishing boats occasionally paddled through, slicing the waves. Across the lake, the outline of Zhuwei Mansion could be seen.
Every so often, there were Household Generals patrolling, leading teams of household servants along the lake’s edge. These servants wore uniform outfits, with knives at their waists, appearing spirited and disciplined, imdiately giving a strong sense of security.
