……

Just as Wang Shouzhe and his party were preparing to go out for a stroll, a man in his thirties came to visit. He had also appeared at the welcome banquet the night before, his name was Wang Shouxin.

Yes.

His name was the same as Wang Shouzhe’s spiritual shield.

At that time, the younger generation of the Wang’s Clan looked at him with surprise. Because Wang Shouzhe’s top-grade spiritual shield was also called “Shouxin Spiritual Shield”.

There was nothing wrong with the name, it was just a coincidence.

The problem was that the spiritual shield had a nickname, called “Pot Lid”. Wang Shouzhe’s casual remark at the time turned into a prophecy, and this nickname “Pot Lid” was widely used by his brothers and sisters.

So when they saw Wang Shouxin, their eyes were somewhat subtly different.

Wang Shouxin felt a chill in his heart under the gaze of his younger brothers and sisters. He checked his appearance, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with his dress today?

Moreover, these younger brothers and sisters had been casting strange glances at him since the banquet that night.

Could it be that they admired and respected him?

Suppressing the joy in his heart, he gracefully saluted Wang Shouzhe: “Brother Shouzhe, I am here on the orders of the Clan Leader. I am here to guide you all around Longzuo Commandery, and in a few days, I will take you all to the academy.”

This Wang Shouxin was not an ordinary clan member, but a standout among the younger generation of the Longzuo Wang’s Clan.

He entered the academy at the age of eighteen.

Around the age of thirty, he achieved the spiritual platform realm with the support of his family and the academy.

Now at the age of thirty-five, he has received various attentions from the academy and has the potential to be accepted as a core disciple. This is the clan brother that Wang Shouyue mentioned before in the academy.

Once he grows up, he can mutually support the Longzuo Wang’s Clan, making the development of the Longzuo Wang’s Clan flourish.

Such an excellent person was naturally summoned back by the Longzuo Wang’s Clan recently.

The purpose was also to show off the foundation of the Longzuo Wang’s Clan when entertaining Wang Shouzhe and others, so as not to be looked down upon by the Ping’an Wang’s Clan.

“Thank you, Brother Shouxin for your company.” Wang Shouzhe returned the salute humbly.

Longzuo Commandery was very large. With the local snake Wang Shouxin accompanying them, it was convenient to go anywhere, no need to wander around aimlessly.

So under the company of Wang Shouxin, everyone happily started touring around Longzuo Commandery.

Moreover, Wang Shouxin was mature and steady, cheerful and talkative. He talked about the anecdotes and interesting things everywhere they visited, which greatly increased everyone’s knowledge.

Wang Lici, the big girl, was eyeing those food stalls, tasting the food wherever she went.

“Brother Shouzhe, I heard from my younger sisters just now that they want to buy some suitable clothes.” As everyone was strolling around, Wang Shouxin pointed to a large ready-made clothing shop and said, “This shop is the best ready-made clothing shop in Longzuo Commandery. It is opened by the Tianren Clan, the Zhou’s Clan. The Zhou’s Clan is best at making clothes, and there are several master tailors in the clan.”

Wang Shouzhe knew about this Zhou’s Clan.

His wedding clothes were custom-made at this Zhou’s Clan ready-made clothing shop through the Qian’s Clan trading company.

Although the price was high, the quality was indeed very good.

Wang Shouzhe knew what his wife Liu Ruolan meant. She was worried about her sisters and nieces and wanted to help them buy some good clothes before they entered the academy.

“Then, wife, you accompany the two sisters to have a good look around, and you can decide on Lici’s clothes.” Wang Shouzhe said, “We just passed by the gambling stone workshop. I heard that it is the largest gambling stone workshop in Longzuo Commandery. I will take Lici to have some fun.”

Liu Ruolan naturally knew what her husband meant, and she graciously said, “Husband, go and have fun. I can take care of things here.”

Wang Shouxin frowned slightly and reminded in a low voice, “Brother Shouzhe, as the saying goes, nine out of ten gamblers lose. Most of the time, gambling on stones is a losing game. Only those loose cultivators or gamblers would take a chance.”

Wang Shouzhe secretly praised him.

The Longzuo Wang’s Clan, as a thousand-year-old family, even though it had declined, its overall family education was still good.

“Thank you for the reminder, Brother Shouxin. Could you please accompany Ruolan and the others here?” Wang Shouzhe smiled and said, “I am just taking Lici to buy a couple of stones to play with.”

In this way, Wang Shouxin naturally agreed.

Then, Wang Shouzhe took Wang Lici to the largest gambling stone workshop. More than half an hour later, he and Wang Lici came out of the gambling stone workshop.

This process was already familiar to the two of them.

It was indeed Longzuo Commandery, the resources were abundant.

Wang Shouzhe had a smile on his face, and he patted the storage ring in his hand with satisfaction. Although these gambling stones had not been opened yet, the big girl Lici had never failed before.

She was indeed the golden eye of the gambling stone world.

Back at the ready-made clothing shop.

It took more than an hour for Liu Ruolan to complete this clothing purchase task.

In addition to preparing two sets of top-quality spirit silk clothes for those who were going to the academy and her husband, she also specially picked two sets for Ancestor Long Yan.

After buying more than a dozen expensive spirit silk clothes without blinking an eye, she immediately became a VIP of the Zhou’s Clan ready-made clothing shop.

Such generosity made Wang Shouxin tremble in his heart.

It was said that the Ping’an Wang’s Clan was rich, but this was too rich, wasn’t it?

At this time, Wang Lici couldn’t wait any longer: “Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, I’m so hungry. Didn’t you say you were going to take me to the best restaurant?”

“Brother Shouxin, which is the best restaurant in Longzuo Commandery?” Wang Shouzhe, who had promised, naturally wouldn’t go back on his word.

Wang Shouxin hesitated slightly and said, “The best restaurant in Longzuo Commandery is undoubtedly the headquarters of Baiwei Pavilion.”

But Baiwei Pavilion was already considered a very expensive restaurant in various cities, and the prices at this headquarters were even more astonishing. This made Wang Shouxin hesitate when he spoke.

Before leaving, the Clan Leader had given him several thousand Top Gold and instructed him to entertain the Ping’an Wang’s Clan well. With these Top Gold, it would be enough to eat a few meals in Baiwei Pavilion.

But the problem was that there was a girl in the Wang’s Clan who was particularly good at eating, and it was a question whether these several thousand Top Gold would be enough for one meal.

This made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.As soon as the Hundred Flavors Pavilion was mentioned, Wang Lici’s eyes lit up, her chubby face full of excitement. “I’ve eaten at the Hundred Flavors Pavilion before, the taste is absolutely fantastic. Let’s eat there, let’s eat there.”

Wang Shouzhe had made a promise earlier, so he immediately agreed, “Alright, let’s go there.”

At the same time, he remembered a scene from nine years ago at the Hundred Flavors Pavilion in Changning Guard. Miss Lici, who was only at the Qi Refining stage at the time, almost ate up a year’s worth of the shopkeeper’s earnings.

God knows how much money it would take to satisfy her appetite this time?

Fortunately, although this girl could eat a lot, she was also very good at earning. The wool she had just sheared at the stone gambling shop was enough for her to eat for a few meals, and there was even some surplus.

Upon hearing Wang Shouzhe’s agreement, Wang Shouxin gritted his teeth, “Alright, the Hundred Flavors Pavilion it is.”

As the host, the Wang’s Clan of Longzuo Commandery naturally didn’t want to lose face. If necessary, they could always ask the clan leader for reimbursement later.

With this thought in mind, he felt more confident.

In fact, he had no idea that Wang Shouzhe had no intention of letting him pay for the meal.

Under the guidance of Wang Shouxin, everyone entered the headquarters of the Hundred Flavors Pavilion.

The building of the Hundred Flavors Pavilion was naturally located in an excellent location, with a grand atmosphere and extremely luxurious decorations.

Ordinary wandering cultivators and merchants could only watch from a distance, not even daring to go in and eat the cheapest dishes.

The most prominent feature here was one word – “Expensive”.

Wang Shouxin, who had some confidence, lowered his voice and introduced, “The Hundred Flavors Pavilion has a history of several hundred years. It was the main pillar industry of the former Purple Mansion Clan, the Yuwen Clan, and has spread throughout the entire Longzuo Commandery, with annual profits that are quite astonishing.”

“But the Yuwen Clan failed to transition to the Purple Mansion a hundred years ago, and the Purple Mansion seed in the family has been stuck at the peak of the Heavenly Man realm, unable to make any progress. They were unable to make another attempt in a short period of time, so this fat piece of meat attracted the covetous eyes of several Purple Mansion Clans.”

“But the Yuwen Clan was ruthless enough. After paying a heavy price, they married a legitimate daughter from the Purple Mansion Clan, the Shangguan Clan, in the capital. It was thanks to this legitimate daughter that the Hundred Flavors Pavilion was able to regain its footing. And that lady was very good at socializing. In less than a decade, she expanded the business of the Hundred Flavors Pavilion by several times.”

“However, it is said that this lady is a husband killer. She killed her husband just two years after she married.”

These were all strange stories and gossip.

But this was in the Hundred Flavors Pavilion, so Wang Shouxin was very careful when he spoke.

Wang Shouzhe also sighed slightly, so this Hundred Flavors Pavilion had such a story. He had only thought of it as a luxurious restaurant before. But now it seems that without strong strength, even a good business is hard to keep.

But on second thought, it was indeed the case.

If it weren’t for the strong backing of the Purple Mansion Clan, how could such a large business be done in every corner of Longzuo Commandery?

With the guidance of Wang Shouxin, an outstanding disciple of the Purple Mansion Academy and a member of the old Heavenly Man Clan, they naturally got one of the best private rooms in the headquarters of the Hundred Flavors Pavilion.

This private room was located on the second floor, connected by a corridor. Through the newly installed western glass windows of the private room, one could see the large stage in the middle of the corridor inside the Hundred Flavors Pavilion.

The Hundred Flavors Pavilion was no longer limited to catering. It also had occasional song and dance performances, and all the artists invited were famous in various commanderies.

It was said that this was a precedent set by that lady, and it was also a way to attract popularity.

However, it was clear that Wang Lici had no interest in song and dance performances.

As soon as she entered the private room, she started to order a lot of dishes from the menu. This meal was something she had worked hard to earn, so she had to get her money’s worth.

The others naturally let her order. Although Wang Lici’s skills were not great, when it came to eating, no one was more professional than her.

Wang Shouxin was watching with a pounding heart, calculating whether the several thousand Top Gold in his pocket would be enough to pay the bill.

Just at this moment.

A group of distinguished guests arrived at the Hundred Flavors Pavilion.

The shopkeeper personally led the group to welcome them. The woman who got off the luxurious green-scaled heavy horse carriage was a seductive and charming woman.

Accompanying her were two young men.

One of them was very young, looking to be in his early twenties, with a clean face that still had a hint of youthfulness.

The other was a young man in purple clothes with an extraordinary demeanor. He wore a jade crown and a treasured sword at his waist. He looked to be in his mid-twenties, but his eyes were as deep as a cold pool, and his aura was restrained and leak-free, clearly a young and powerful cultivator at the Spirit Platform stage.

Under the shopkeeper’s welcome, the three of them entered the Hundred Flavors Pavilion and headed for the private rooms on the second floor.

The seductive woman softly said to the young man in purple, “Master Chi, after my younger uncle enters the Purple Mansion Academy, I hope you can take good care of him.”

This young man in purple was named Chi Junjie. Although he was born in a rank eight family in Langyou Guard,

However, he was talented and entered the Purple Mansion Academy for development at an early age. Because of his outstanding performance, he is now highly valued by the academy and is being assessed for inclusion in the core disciples.

Once listed as a core disciple, the allocation and supply of resources would be different, giving him a chance to strive for the Heavenly Man realm in the future.

Such a person, even though he is still young, is already extraordinary.

However, Chi Junjie’s face became serious, and he bowed to the seductive woman, “Madam Bilian, you’re being too serious. This is my duty. Besides, Brother Yuwen has a medium-grade B-class Xuanbing bloodline. With such talent, he will stand out in the academy in no time. Maybe in the future, I will have to rely on Brother Yuwen to take care of me.”

This woman was none other than Madam Bilian, who had competed with Wang Shouzhe for the Marrow Cleansing Pill at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion in Donghai Guard.

Speaking of Yuwen Jianye beside her, a look of indulgence appeared on Madam Bilian’s enchanting face, “Although Jianye is my younger uncle, his brother died early, so he has been close to me since he was a child. This child has a good talent and bloodline, but he is still inexperienced and too shy in dealing with people. With Junjie taking care of him in the academy, I can rest assured.”

However, as soon as she finished speaking, her face turned cold, and she said with slight dissatisfaction, “It’s a pity that we didn’t get the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Otherwise, Jianye’s bloodline could have possibly broken through to the upper medium grade, ranking among the minor prodigies, and even had a chance to compete for the direct discipleship. That damn Wang Ziteng…”After the incident, she naturally did some investigation. She found out that the private room was reserved by the great-grandson of the East Sea King—Dantai Heyu, and that the guy was named Wang Ziteng, who seemed to come from a powerful family in Lingbei Commandery.

Her anger was not entirely due to the fact that the Marrow Cleansing Pill was snatched away. After all, it was a fair auction, and the highest bidder won.

Her anger and hatred came from her “warm invitation” to make friends.

That “Wang Ziteng” casually said,

“I have no fate with you!”

This was too dismissive of her.

Lingbei Commandery was located in a remote and desolate place, even if she was dissatisfied, she couldn’t reach out to him.

So she had to swallow her anger until now.

Suddenly! At this moment.

From a superior private room next to the corridor, a gentle and pleasant male voice came: “Wang Lici, have you ordered enough? Let your fourth aunt order some of her favorites.”

“No need, no need, Lici’s order is enough.” A pleasant female voice said, “She has already ordered a lot of my favorites, this girl is so considerate. Fourth aunt loves you.”

“Thank you, fourth aunt, you are the best.”

This was a very ordinary conversation.

But when it fell into Lady Biyao’s ears, her delicate body trembled heavily, and her eyes burst with light.

A feeling of both anger and inexplicable excitement rose in her mind.

“Wang Ziteng!!!”

This voice, she had dreamed of it many times, it was so familiar and “intimate”.

This was like finding something without even looking for it!

She really wanted to laugh out loud, haha, Wang Ziteng, Wang Ziteng.

You actually fell into my hands, let’s see how I deal with you!
