Chapter 308: Chapter 56: Wedding Robe Blood Gu! Blessings and Misfortunes Intertwined
...
Ping’an Town, Zhuwei Lake.
In the vast expanse of water spanning tens of thousands of acres, the water is pure and misty.
From time to time, a large fish would leap out of the water, creating ripples upon ripples.
Suddenly.
In the distance, a "vessel" rapidly sped across the water, leaving two long trails behind. The fish were startled, scattering wildly as if in a chaotic dance.
Upon closer inspection, it was no vessel at all, but rather a gigantic turtle. It was the Guardian Spirit Beast of the Wang Family—the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle.
It extended its long, gigantic turtle~~~head, its four paws paddling like oars, moving at an extremely fast speed.
On its thick turtle shell, a boy and a girl were seated.
The girl appeared to be around eight or nine years old, with delicate and lively eyes, resembling a Little Princess.
The boy, about four or five years old, sat obediently on the turtle, holding a large backpack, his youthful eyes filled with worry.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sister, you’ve upset the teacher again today. The teacher said Father must personally take you to the Upper Clan Academy, or he won’t teach you anymore. What should we do?"
"Don’t worry, Brother, I have already made arrangements," the girl said confidently, "Before dismissal, I gave the teacher’s treasured great-grandson a good beating. That little brat will go back and talk some sense into the teacher."
The boy broke into a cold sweat, was this your arrangement, Sister?
He weakly said, "Sister, if you keep fighting with the teacher like this, I’m worried he’ll go crying to Father sooner or later."
"Let him cry then, we’ll see if his precious great-grandson can handle a beating," the girl said nonchalantly, "The clan academy has reformed now. Who told that old teacher to still cling to outdated male-favored ideas? He’s only so tyrannical because he taught Father back in the day. Anyway, as long as he doesn’t change his mindset, I’ll fight him to the end."
The boy looked helpless, Sister, your feud with the teacher is dragging me down, and now even my homework is double the usual amount. Life is getting too hard.
He really wanted to tell his sister, vengeance only leads to more vengeance, can’t you just bow your head to the teacher and make peace?
This boy and girl are naturally the children of Wang Shouzhe and Liua Ruolan, Wang Liyao and Wang Zong’an.
"An’an, what are you afraid of?" Wang Liyao crossed her arms, "As long as you have justice in your heart, resolutely refuse to bow to evil forces. As a boy and the Young Clan Leader of our family, you can’t be too soft."
Wang Zong’an muttered to himself, being soft is wrong. But it’s also not right to solve problems with violence like you do, Sister.
The siblings talked as the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle transported them to the dock behind the Wang Family’s ancestral residence. Wang Liyao patted its head affectionately, and said, "Thank you, Spirit Turtle, I’ll bring you some treats tomorrow morning."
The Primordial Water Spirit Turtle was also very affectionate toward Wang Liyao, rubbing against her before reluctantly leaving.
It’s no wonder, Wang Liyao’s Primordial Water Bloodline was very thick, though not reaching the level of a Primordial Water Spirit Body, it was still very rare. The person and the turtle felt very close to each other.
"Yaoyao, An’an." Qiao’Er approached, picking up their backpacks, her expression slightly grave, "Miss asked me to bring you back."
"Ah?"
Mother didn’t come to pick them up this time.
Wang Liyao asked worriedly, "Aunt Qiao, has something happened?"
Qiao’Er led them back as she said, "Young Master Zongchang had a bit of trouble, the Patriarch and Miss are helping to heal him."
Second Brother is in trouble?
Wang Liyao and Wang Zong’an became worried immediately.
Brother Chang had always been very good to them since they were young. They certainly didn’t want anything to happen to him.
...
Meanwhile.
In the side hall of Shouzhe’s Courtyard.
Liua Ruolan was entertaining Ancestor Ruhong, expressing her gratitude, "Thank you, Ancestor Ruhong, for helping suppress the blood gu in Zongchang’s body and personally bringing him back."
Ancestor Ruhong waved it off repeatedly, "Ruolan, no need to be so formal. Our East Port Chen Family and Ping’an Wang Family are marriage allies, aiding each other is only natural."
Ancestor Ruhong dared not underestimate Liua Ruolan. He had witnessed her capabilities firsthand at the Trial Ground in the Outer Domain.
When this Mrs. Wang erupted, even he felt a subtle tremor of fear. Her future prospects were likely beyond imagination.
Currently, the major strategic plan of the East Port Chen Family was to firmly hold onto the strong alliance with the Ping’an Wang Family.
At the same time, in the adjacent room of the side hall.
Wang Zongchang was tied to the bed, his face distorted, eyes exuding a crimson and violent aura, his heart pounding rapidly. His blood surged, and the blood vessels seemed on the verge of bursting at any moment.
Wang Shouzhe’s cyan profound qi coursed through his system, soothing the constantly damaged blood and blood vessels. His brows were furrowed, a creature resembling a Blood Gu was hidden within Wang Zongchang’s spinal column.
Previously, Ancestor Ruhong had tried his best to suppress it, yet he couldn’t expel it.
Moreover, once the suppression was lost, it would become active again. It released something unknown, causing Wang Zongchang’s blood to boil unceasingly.
If not for Wang Shouzhe’s cyan profound qi, with its powerful healing abilities, Wang Zongchang might have already died from an internal explosion.
All Wang Shouzhe could do was merely help him sustain his life.
Wang Liyao and Wang Zong’an, the two children, returned and immediately became very well-behaved, silently praying for Wang Zongchang.
