Thus, the matter was resolved.

After paying the compensation, the Liu and Zhao families left in such a pathetic condition, like a defeated pack of dogs. This greatly contrasted with their prior grand entrance causing trouble.

Lei Yangqiu was spared, for now. Having survived the ordeal, he didn’t want to linger here any longer.

The spectators, however, remained for quite a while, still engrossed in discussing the event, sharing their excitement with each other.

The reality for most civilians was a life of hardship and monotony, just managing to make ends meet. Their aspiration was to save money by living a frugal life year after year, to buy land or provide a better future for their children, like arranging good marriages and such.

But today’s dramatic event, with its twists and turns, was undoubtedly a tale they would never forget.

Old Lady Gongsun Hui, along with some sisters-in-law, were in charge of setting up a porridge stall for the commoners, offering them nourishing salty meat porridge.

Today these commoners, even the paupers, looked like mere onlookers. But in reality, they were the crux of Wang Shouzhe’ s plan for the day.

This was equivalent to treating them to feast.

Civilians were seen as insignificant, like ants that could be easily crushed, in the eyes of many prideful scions of prominent families.

However, a large number of such prominent families couldn’t function without these civilians. What would they use to support their lavish lifestyles or buy precious cultivation resources, if not the wealth created by these civilians?

A single civilian might not seem significant, but when their numbers increased, their collective power became immeasurable. They could even suppress powerful individuals like Lei Yangqiu, being a Realm Cultivator and the Fortress Commander, preventing him from acting uncontrollably.

Wang Shouzhe had learned from his previous life that the power of the common populace, once united, was formidable. Even Celestial beings of powerful families needed ordinary people to survive.

Young girls and young male servants of the Wang family volunteered to help with the porridge distribution and maintaining order.

This group also included two legitimate daughters, Wang Luoyi and Wang Luomiao.

Even Wang Luo Qiu and Wang Luo Jing, who had just made significant contributions to their family, were earnestly helping out, completely without any sense of disdain.

Wang Shouzhe was very satisfied with this. The people of their family had a healthy mindset. They would never abandon their humaneness or become arrogant because of their martial power.

Wait, what?

It seemed something odd had crept in.

A muscular man with a pig-headed face was sitting on the ground in front of the porridge stall, devouring bowl after bowl of meaty porridge voraciously, having had more than ten bowls in the blink of an eye.

This little guy!

Wang Shouzhe approached and observed him closely. Surprisingly, the injuries he had from the spirit bee’s sting had healed significantly, his recovery rate was indeed astonishing.

“Is it good?” Wang Shouzhe asked with a smile.

“Very good, very good,” Zhao Dingteng replied instinctively. He raised his head and saw Wang Shouzhe, immediately cowering in fear and guarding his bowl, as though Wang Shouzhe was about to steal it.

Wang Shouzhe was amused, thinking this kid seemed to be terrified of the wrong thing.

He was an innocent boy but was quite wily when it came to combat. If he were to fight Wang Luo Qiu, it’d be tough to predict who would win.

“Okay, okay, eat your fill and then go home.” Wang Shouzhe waved, showing his generosity. He saw no need to argue with a fourteen-year-old boy, even though he wasn’t exactly what you’d call childish.

Although the boy didn’t look his age, he was still only fourteen.

“Clan Leader Wang, it’s Clan Leader Wang.”

Seeing that Wang Shouzhe had come to the porridge stall, all the civilians became eager and excited. Many admired and looked up to him.

Today’s incident not only enhanced the reputation of the Wang family but asserted Clan Leader Wang’s praises in the public’s opinion as well.

“Feel free to eat as much as you like today.” Wang Shouzhe greeted cheerfully, “From now on, if you find life under Liu and Zhao families’ jurisdiction hard, you’re welcome to migrate to the Wang family’s jurisdiction. Here, you can at least live peacefully and happily. In case of a natural disaster, we, the Wang family, will supports you in overcoming the difficulties.”

Many people were moved by Wang Shouzhe’s words. When compared to the high and disdainful Liu and Zhao families, the Wang family seemed like the only real Prominent Family.

Living under the protection of the Wang family seemed much more comforting.

“But Clan Leader, all my fields and home are in the village,” said a self-reliant farmer in ragged clothes. “If we move, we can’t take our lands with us.”

Indeed, indeed.

Many people agreed, all excited about the idea of moving yet faced practical difficulties, all expressing disappointment and frustration.

Among the thousands of civilians were also subjects from the Wang family’s jurisdiction.

Hearing the struggles of the others, they immediately felt superior. A young man in his twenties said, “Your broken houses and fields, how much could they worth? Only the houses and fields within our Wang family’s jurisdiction are valuable.”

Upon hearing this, the people from outside the jurisdiction were dissatisfied, angrily retorting, “How come they’re worthless? They still produce grain and can be lived in.”

The young man haughtily replied, “What do you all know, our Wang family has an Insect Master. This year, our lands only had a decrease in production by half.”
