Chapter 974: Chapter 49 Unparalleled Prestige! Old Ancestor Shou Zhe Has Beco a Great Figure Chapter 974: Chapter 49 Unparalleled Prestige! Old Ancestor Shou Zhe Has Beco a Great Figure …
In the Wang family’s guest-reception hall.
“Prefectural Governor, why do you say so?” Wang Shouzhe hurried to support his arm, arranging for him to sit down and speak slowly, soothingly saying, “Don’t rush, don’t rush, let’s discuss the matter calmly.”
Upon seeing Wang Shouzhe, Taishi Ankang seed to find his rock, and his emotions stabilized a great deal.
Only then did Wang Shouzhe divert his attention to look behind Taishi Ankang.
This ti, Taishi Ankang did not co alone; among those who accompanied him was an old man.
That old man wore a simple long robe, exhibiting a cultivation aura that was profound and restrained, subtly exerting so pressure on Wang Shouzhe, clearly a powerful cultivator of the Purple Abode Realm, just like Taishi Ankang.
However, compared to the pri-aged Taishi Ankang, the old man’s back was sowhat hunched, his face riddled with wrinkles, and in many places, liver spots were clearly visible. In his forehead, there lingered an air of twilight that one couldn’t wave away, portraying the image of a person who is old and near the end of his life.
His slightly outdated sleeves were embroidered with a small clan emblem.
In Longzuo County, Wang Shouzhe was quite familiar with this clan emblem.
Always focused on intelligence work, Wang Shouzhe recognized the old man’s background with just a glance.
Although Wang Shouzhe had recognized the visitor, since he did not know the purpose of the visit, he still feigned ignorance and clasped his hands in greeting, “This senior’s deanor is extraordinary, may I know which Prominent Family’s Purple Abode Old Ancestor you are?”
Taishi Ankang, supporting his head, said, “Shouzhe, look at what you’ve done to , made all flustered. Let introduce you first, this is Yan Yufei of Longzuo’s Yan Family, Old Ancestor Yufei.”
“So, it is none other than the greatly celebrated Old Ancestor Yufei himself. Shouzhe has long wished to et the Old Ancestor and witness his grace, regretfully, it has not happened until today,” Wang Shouzhe said politely, bowing his hands in a salute.
The Longzuo Yan Family was indeed a greatly celebrated Purple Abode Prominent Family. However, their territories mostly lay to the north of Longzuo, and their circumstances hadn’t been particularly great in the past few centuries, showing signs of decline, which is why they generally conducted themselves with a low profile.
Therefore, when the in-laws alliance between the Wang family and the Qian Family’s Keep Achieving Comrcial Firm extended their business throughout Longzuo County, the Longzuo Yan Family did not interfere but was relatively cooperative instead.
Just for this reason alone, they had built a good relationship with Wang Shouzhe.
“Not at all, not at all.” Old Ancestor Yufei’s face showed a pleasantly surprised look, and he put on a slightly ingratiating smile as he clasped his hands in return, “It’s said Master Shouzhe is a paragon among people, and Yan had thought it was re flattery. Only upon seeing you today do I realize how understated the rumors were. Master Shouzhe’s deanor is extraordinary, profound, and towering, truly the bearing of a True Dragon.”
In this world, since real dragons exist, the Transcendent Emperor would not use the term True Dragon to describe himself, for it would appear deaning.
But because dragons have noble bloodlines and often top the food chain, the term dragon and phoenix could be used to describe so extraordinary n.
Yet here was Old Ancestor Yan Yufei, a venerable Purple Abode Elder of more than seven hundred years, humbling himself before a younger person, which was rather abnormal and probably due to so desire.
Wang Shouzhe’s mind swiftly speculated, and he already had a rough guess, but his face did not show any signs, and he continued to exchange pleasantries, receiving him with the high regard due to the etiquette of Prominent Families.
After all, be it Taishi Ankang or Yan Yufei, both were notable figures of Longzuo County. With guests arriving, the Wang family naturally could not neglect or lose the proper decorum.
On this occasion, Yan Yufei did not co alone either.
Among the Yan Family’s group from Longzuo, there was the current Clan Leader Yan Feihong, his direct line great-great-granddaughter Yan Shuang Er, and so young n and won from other direct and secondary lines, quite a number in total. They had been arranged by the guards at the gatehouse to be entertained in the Honorable Guest Hall with fine teas and fruits.
Following that, the Wang family went about making arrangents to entertain the guests according to the appropriate protocols.
Since the family’s first ancestor, Old Ancestor Longyan, never wished to make public appearances for social interactions, Wang Shouzhe made special arrangents for Wang Shou Yong and Wang Shoulian, two Celestial Elders, to keep them company, along with the Lil Junior Clan Leader Wang Shizhao.
Furthermore, from the arrival of so many young people from the Yan Family of Longzuo, Wang Shouzhe could make a guess about the purpose of their visit. Therefore, he also arranged for so young elites from his family to accompany the guests.
The private rooms for the young people were set at so distance from their elders’, so as not to inhibit the youth by the presence of their seniors, allowing them to enjoy themselves freely.
On the main banquet table, in addition to a host of elders, was the little direct line girl from the Yan Family, Yan Shuang Er. She appeared to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, exquisitely beautiful and though a bit nervous, she did not lose the poise of a noble’s daughter, appearing dignified and graceful.
What was more important was that Wang Shouzhe saw through her cultivation at a glance. For her young age, she had already reached the seventh level of the Vital Energy Refining Realm, and her Bloodline Talent was undeniably that of a Sky Pride.
“Old Ancestor Yufei is blessed,” Wang Shouzhe personally poured wine for Yan Yufei as a sign of respect and smiled in praise, “Shuang Er is so young yet possesses such a bloodline talent, the Purple Abode Realm awaits her future indeed.”
As he spoke, Wang Shouzhe pulled out a red envelope and handed it to Yan Shuang Er, uttering several auspicious phrases of praise.
Yan Shuang Er hastily rose to give a reverential salute, “Many thanks to Old Ancestor Shouzhe, Shuang Er does not deserve such reward without rit, please take it back, Old Ancestor.”
“No need to worry, consider it a gentle prod for a promising young person from our hotown, it is not worth ntioning,” smiled Wang Shouzhe lightly, “Shuang Er should not feel burdened, just concentrate on your cultivation diligently, and bring glory to our Longzuo County and your Yan Family.”
