Chapter 834: Chapter 19: My "Filial" Great-Grandson

...

"Thank you for the compliment, Ancestor Xiaoxiao~~" Wang Anye forced an awkward yet polite smile, "You are very beautiful too."

He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart; the female elders at home and from relatives’ families all loved to take advantage of him. They would hug him, pinch him, and even kiss him out of the blue.

Alas, being too handsome sure is a hassle, always leading to trouble.

"This child’s sweet talk is even more charming than my cousin when he was little." Lua Xiaoxiao laughed as brightly as sunshine, then took out a stack of gold notes from her storage ring and stuffed them into Wang Anye’s arms, "Use these to buy some candy."

The Changning Lua Family, though still a Seventh-Grade Noble Family, had become increasingly prosperous over the last few decades, thanks to being the maternal clan of Wang Shouzhe.

Currently, the Lua Family boasts over twenty cultivators at the Spirit Platform Realm, including three Celestial Human Seeds from the younger generation who are receiving special training.

Obviously, Lua Xiaoxiao isn’t content with just being a Seventh-Grade Noble Family. She aims to elevate the family to the Sixth Grade, or even Fifth Grade, closely following her cousin Wang Shouzhe’s footsteps.

Buying candy? Using these gold notes for candy would require a cargo ship, and it still wouldn’t be finished in thousands of years.

Wang Anye felt embarrassed, but he still politely thanked Ancestor Xiaoxiao, even though his storage ring—[Endless Abyss]—contained a vast number of gold notes, too many for him to count.

Elders from all walks loved giving him money for no reason, despite him being just a child who had little to spend. Sometimes, even if he wanted to spend some, the more he spent, the more he ended up with... alas, it’s a bit troublesome.

"Xiaoxiao." Wang Shouzhe interrupted them, bringing the topic back on track, "What’s the story with this array? Can we really go in despite this vortex?"

Wang Shouzhe had studied some basic knowledge about arrays. However, the art of arrays is profound and requires long-term research and accumulation. As clan leader, how could he have that much spare time?

With that time, isn’t fostering young members of the family more rewarding? Therefore, his understanding of arrays was limited to basic knowledge, while more complex and deep aspects were unknown to him.

On the other hand, Lua Xiaoxiao often took the time to teach basic array classes at the Wang Clan Academy. Over decades, she even discovered a few promising Array Master seedlings, who were now studying under her guidance.

In other families, there were also people learning from Xiaoxiao, more or less.

Within the scope of Changning Guard, Lua Xiaoxiao was evidently already a "top-tier" Array Master.

"Cousin Shouzhe." Lua Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly, "Although this Isolation Array is formidable, it’s been around for a long time. Since Anye has already found the loophole, it becomes straightforward."

Then, after some manipulation by Lua Xiaoxiao, the vortex-like array passage was slowly torn open, revealing a clearly visible large opening.

"Cousin, you take care of Anye outside to support." Naturally, with the array cracking, Lua Xiaoxiao took the lead in making decisions.

Besides, following her into the Isolation Array was a strong team, comprising four Celestial Human Realm cultivators, including Ancestor Longyan, a powerful force. With Wang Shouzhe supporting from outside, even facing a Tier Seven Ferocious Beast accidentally, they could hold their own.

Not to mention, Wang Shouzhe, known for his cautious planning attitude, had the family developed peacefully for so long, amassing such vast wealth and resources, surely he had secretly prepared trump cards for dealing with Purple Mansion Realm cultivators or Tier Seven Ferocious Beasts?

This time, everyone was fully armed, carrying over the trump cards accumulated over the years, thus ensuring safety.

After they entered the array one by one, Wang Shouzhe set up some plant arrays outside, holding back an extra trump card. Then he smilingly engaged Wang Anye in conversation: "Anye, at your age, wearing the Endless Abyss all the time is too ostentatious, isn’t it? Easy to catch thieves’ eyes, right?"

"Hm?" Wang Anye widened his eyes, "Don’t worry, great-grandfather. I am the direct line grandson of the Wang Family and the external direct line of the Qiaan Family. No one in Longzuo County dares to target me, not to mention Elder Qian is watching over me secretly."

That seemed right... it made sense. Wang Shouzhe felt like he had nowhere to press.

This young man’s Endless Abyss was bought by the Qiaan’s at a high price and with connections, given by Qiaan Xuehan as a birthday gift to the great-grandson. So, even though Wang Shouzhe might envy it, he couldn’t openly speak about it.

He couldn’t just directly say to Wang Anye: My dear great-grandson, would it be okay if I exchange an Upper Grade Storage Ring for your Top-Grade Endless Abyss?

That would be too shameless.

"Does great-grandfather want the Endless Abyss?" Wang Anye touched his chin, looking like a nouveau riche, "You should’ve said earlier. As long as you want it, I’ll reward—no, give it to you."

Luckily, he was smart enough not to voice out the word "reward," or he would surely have been spanked by his dad afterward.

Seeing his great-grandsons show such filial piety, Wang Shouzhe was quite pleased.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford a Top-Grade Storage Ring, but it was not a necessity. Such items are rarely stocked, and even searching the entire Daqian wouldn’t yield many.

And soon, the Wang Family was going to explore the Great Outer Domain, and having the person in charge wear an Endless Abyss could lessen a lot of pressure.

Storage rings essentially are dimension spaces carried with you, requiring spiritual power to refine them. Forming a continuous resonance mark with spiritual power inside the storage equipment allows it to be accessed readily, just with a thought.
