Chapter 842: Chapter 21: Emperor Longchang Appears! Spirit Treasure Qianqiu Takes the Stage

...

In truth, this is also a common human sentiment. How noble is the status of a Great Celestial Pride, a direct disciple of the Longzuo Purple Mansion Academy’s dean?

The person thought fondly of the old blood ties and happily acknowledged kinship, yet Wang Anan blurted out, "I am your grandfather!" This was not merely taking advantage of the Great Celestial Pride, but rather an arrogance akin to that of city folk looking down on rural relatives...

Under normal circumstances, the elders would at most reprimand Wang Anan for lacking manners and not displaying the demeanor expected of the Daqian Wang Family as the main line.

But the issue is, the other party is Wang Liyao. Her future potential is limitless; as long as she does not fall midway, at the very least she could take over the Longzuo Purple Mansion Academy.

If fortune reaches the absolute peak, it’s not impossible she might soar like a Cyan Phoenix into the Nine Heavens... becoming one of the two most powerful figures in the Daqian Kingdom!

Such a person, even in the prestigious Duke Dingguo’s Mansion, only the Divine Seed Wang Zhouhui could barely compare to her.

With such a Great Celestial Pride, can one not allow a bit of temper?

Fortunately, the current patriarch of the Daqian Wang Family, Wang Yuchang, is a revivalist leader, striving to change the declining situation of the Wang Family.

Immediately, he assumed a posture, clasping his hands and bowing to Wang Liyao, "Yaoo’Er, regarding this matter..."

However, before he could complete the bow, Wang Liyao hurriedly stepped forward to support Wang Yuchang’s arm, repeatedly saying, "Patriarch Yuchang, you must not! You are an ancestor of the ’Yu’ generation; such a bow is not something I can bear."

In the clan, generation is highly respected.

Even though Wang Liyao is of the Great Celestial Pride status, and of noble identity, were she to brazenly accept a bow from Wang Yuchang, it would bring ridicule to the entire Changning Wang Family.

Rumors would undoubtedly claim Wang Liyao to be arrogant and ignorant, possibly affecting her future path as a Saint (or Saintess).

Wang Yuchang was naturally just posturing.

Upon hearing Wang Liyao calling him an ancestor, his heart rejoiced. Immediately, he seized the moment and clasped her arm, speaking with excitement and frustration, "Yaoo’Er, upon first hearing that you were a blood relative of our Duke Dingguo’s Mansion, I was ecstatic. I personally pored over the clan records and legacy chronicles to verify, while instructing people to tidy up the family estate."

"I was about to send someone to welcome you to the main residence. But I didn’t expect that reckless brat, how dare he, how dare he~~~~ Wang Shida, why are you still in a daze? Look at the son you raised!" As Wang Yuchang spoke more, he grew increasingly angry, his face turning slightly red, his whole body trembling.

Wang Shida shivered with fear, hastily took out a thorny vine, and began to lash at Wang Anan who was on the stretcher, cursing as he whipped, "I’ll beat you to death, you brat. How did I, Wang Shida, end up with such a scoundrel? Enough is enough, today I’ll consider myself short of a son..."

Wang Anan cried out miserably, feeling deeply wronged in his heart. Father, I used to be your pride~~ can’t you just pretend? Is it necessary to hit so hard...

"Miss Liyao, I was wrong! Please forgive me this once."

He knew, to untie the bell, the person who tied it is required; after suffering agony, he could only plead with Wang Liyao.

However, Wang Liyao completely ignored him, continuing to speak politely with Wang Yuchang, "Patriarch Yuchang, I appreciate your kindness. It’s just that I’m quite comfortable residing in the White Cloud Tower, moving here and there is inconvenient."

"How can that be?" Wang Yuchang’s face turned solemn, "Yaoo’Er, you are of Duke Dingguo’s Mansion bloodline. Now that you are in the Capital City, how can you live in a tavern? If this gets out, people will say our Duke Dingguo’s Mansion lacks manners."

They started chatting?

The father and son duo, Wang Shida who was beating and Wang Anan who was being beaten, were dumbfounded.

Miss Liyao, they’re still hitting the kid over here, shouldn’t you intercede before chatting with the ancestor?

However, given the situation, if Wang Liyao did not intervene, the beatings had to continue. Wang Shida could only keep on whipping, and cursing. Meanwhile, Wang Anan had to keep crying out pitifully.

But none of this seemed to disturb Wang Liyao. When she felt the moment was right, she bowed to Wang Yuchang and said, "In that case, I shall follow Patriarch Yuchang’s arrangements."

"Good, good, our family’s Yaoo’Er is discerning and courteous, I am deeply gratified." Wang Yuchang’s dignified and handsome face showed utter joy, "Yaoo’Er, rest assured, consider our family’s ancestral residence as your home; all your needs will match the standard of our family’s Divine Seeds."

"Thank you for your care, Ancestor." Wang Liyao gracefully bowed in thanks, "Once I have tidied myself up and bid farewell to the Prince, I shall return home with the ancestor."

Return home?

"Good, good." Wang Yuchang’s smile grew even brighter, "then Yaoo’Er, take your time. We are in no rush."

No rush?

Wang Anan felt his heart breaking.

Ancestor, your beloved great-great-great-grandson is almost beaten to death, and you are in no hurry? Miss Liyao is heartless, but Ancestor, your heart is even more so...

With Wang Liyao’s graceful departure, the sounds of Wang Shida’s scolding, the lashes, and Wang Anan’s cries for mercy on the platform continued unabated.

Among the onlookers, many who were previously laughing at his plight now began to feel a twinge of sympathy for Wang Anan. This kid is really pitiful, isn’t he? Hahaha~
