...
Upon hearing these words, Huangfu Feifei raised an eyebrow.
What was this celestial being from Tian Yan up to? Even if Master Shouzhe was so outstanding, she wouldn’t degrade herself to this extent, would she? Even if born in the dust, the celestial being from Tian Yan was, after all, a genius in the Heavenly Human Realm. Even in the Academic Palace, she would be considered a direct disciple. Would she degrade herself to such an extent?
"How... how could this be... how could this be?"
Wang Shihai felt like spitting out blood, his gaze filled with desolation.
The celestial being from Tian Yan was, after all, the goddess in his heart. Why did she stoop so low as to beco a concubine for the fourth grandfather?
Even more so, she even put forth such a submissive attitude. What man could resist such an offering? It was over, the goddess was definitely about to turn into a grandmother.
Surprisingly.
"Sigh~" Wang Shouzhe sighed, shaking his head, "Thank you for your misplaced affection, Senior. It’s a pity that my Wang family is but a humble 7th-rank aristocratic family with ager wealth and resources. We can’t afford to take in more geniuses. Here is the fee for today’s music performance, I will take my leave first."
Saying so, he stood up and set out a stack of gold tickets.
This stack of gold tickets amounted to at least ten thousand Qian Gold, far exceeding the normal expenses. It was clear that Wang Shouzhe did not wish to have any further dealings with her.
Following that, he ignored the change in Tian Yan’s eyes and elegantly flew away.
"Fourth Grandfather, wait for ."
Sensing that sothing was wrong, Wang Shihai, unwilling as he was, had no choice but to follow promptly.
"Hehe~ As expected of Master Wang, possessing such determination." Huangfu Feifei was secretly delighted in her heart. She disdainfully glanced at the celestial being from Tian Yan, before following closely behind Wang Shouzhe.
...
anwhile.
In the Tian Yan painting boat.
After Wang Shouzhe left, the forced smile on the face beneath the celestial being from Tian Yan’s veil disappeared instantly.
"I didn’t expect that Wang Shouzhe would be so impervious. He didn’t leave any chance for ." She furrowed her brows, a hint of solemnity crossed her eyes. "Auntie, your insight into people is superior to mine. How do you perceive Wang Shouzhe?"
Upon hearing this, a middle-aged maidservant, who had been silently standing in the corner, slowly walked out.
"I observed that, while his actions might seem absurd, they carry underlying principles. His wit is sharper than most people," her attire remained the sa as before. Her dull and ignorant eyes were replaced by a wise and profound light. "As a genius in the Heavenly Human Realm, you are willing to beco a concubine.
Yet he, as the head of a 7th-rank aristocratic family, remains utterly unmoved, even showing great resistance. This is very unusual. Either he is naturally extrely cautious, reluctant to take even the tiniest of risks, or, he was on his guard all along, already having a vague idea about our objective."
"On guard all along?" The celestial being from Tian Yan showed her surprise. "That’s not possible, is it? The ’Struggle for the Throne’ has just barely begun. The conflicts in each county are still lurking beneath the surface. Even the Wang family from Southern Desert and the Huangfu Clan are oblivious. How could he, being the head of a 7th-rank aristocratic family, have been on guard all this while?"

"It’s not inconceivable for him to be on guard." The middle-aged servant’s eyes flashed, as if reminiscing. "The world is unpredictable. Even the most humble independent cultivator could grow to be master in the Purple Abode. History tells us there have been many visionaries who led their clans to glory. My lady, rember this, Anything is possible.
A cultivator from Profound Martial wants to live long, they should never underestimate anyone."
Seeing her like this, the celestial being from Tian Yan knew her aunt must have thought of that man.
She was a bit lancholic, yet she didn’t know how to comfort. All she could do was nod respectfully: "Yes, Auntie, I understand."
The middle-aged maidservant reigned in her thoughts, and continued: "Furthermore, when Master Wang Shouzhe first saw you, he had clear and calm eyes without the slightest hint of trying to be composed. There was even a noticeable lack of reverence in his eyes for your impressive bloodline. It wouldn’t be possible if he didn’t have broad experience."
The celestial being from Tian Yan nodded in agreent.
She was very confident in her own appearance and temperant. With her looks and bloodline, she could compete for superiority even in Dragon City of the Great Qian land, let alone in a common county town like Southern Desert. Here, her status was enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with a direct line descendant of a Purple Abode Family.
She wouldn’t be so sought-after in Southern Desert County otherwise.
No ordinary 7th-rank Aristocratic Family Head could remain so calm at their first eting.
But she still had doubts: "However, according to the information received from Longzuo County, it seems that Wang Shouzhe has never left Longzuo County. His trip to Southern Desert seems to be the farthest he’s ever travelled. How could he have such broad vision? Could our information be incorrect?"
"It’s possible..." the middle-aged maidservant nodded slightly. "My lady, don’t forget that our information network in Longzuo county has not been active for very long. Omission is indeed possible. Of course, it doesn’t rule out the possibility that he’s had unique experiences. Regardless of the situation, he is soone we should try to further explore and win over."
The celestial being from Tian Yan contemplated: "Aunt is right. This man and the whole Wang family are quite extraordinary and may be hiding other secrets. Who would have thought that such an insignificant 7th-rank aristocratic family could be this formidable. Several Sky Pride seeds have appeared in their family, not to ntion a great Sky Pride daughter who has beco a disciple of Master Tianhe...
How could we not vie for such a promising family?"
