Chapter 1455: Chapter 63: Shou Ye! A Big Shot Now_4

“Master Shouzhe’s wisdom and sagacity are far beyond my reach,” Jianming Old Ancestor quickly said with a solemn expression, bowing towards the south.

Even Fang Huaiyuan bowed his hands, his face full of immense admiration for Wang Shouzhe, he sighed, “If only I could meet Master Shouzhe in person and listen to his teachings.”

In Longzuo County, the prestige of the Wang family and Wang Shouzhe was paramount.

Even a single word from Wang Shouzhe held more sway than those of the Great Emperor far away in Return to Dragon City.

“I know this Brother Yuxi; his talent is decent, though slightly arrogant,” Wang Shouye pondered and then said, “Let it go, considering the past acquaintance, Jianming Old Ancestor, please give Shouye some face.”

Jianming Old Ancestor quickly became serious, and bowed, “Master Shou Ye, please don’t be so polite, for our main branch’s Qianjin Lingbo is your grand niece-in-law. For such a minor issue, if you just speak the word, even if it’s to walk through mountains of blades or seas of flames, Jingang Shangguan’s would not refuse.”

“Now that the issue is resolved, that little girl named Lingrou should go home,” Wang Shouye smiled and waved his hand.

What?

That’s it?

Dongfang Lingrou was stunned, their family’s huge disaster was resolved by a single word from the Pill King?

“What are you dazing for, girl, go back,” Jianming Old Ancestor scolded with wide-eyed, “You don’t think that Jingang Shangguan’s would dare deceive Master Shou Ye, do you?”

“Master, I, I am willing to serve as a slave, to attend to you for a lifetime”, Dongfang Lingrou was about to kneel, but found herself supported by an invisible force, unable to kneel.

Meanwhile, she saw the scenery blur before her eyes, and when she regained her senses, she had already left the Hundred Flavors Pavilion, hearing Wang Shouye’s gentle voice by her ear: “Girl, I don’t need you to serve me. You have decent talent, focus on your cultivation, and strive to become someone who can protect your clan and be useful to the Human race.”

“Yes, Master!”

Dongfang Lingrou stubbornly thanked Wang Shouye, then hurried back home.

To her surprise, as soon as she arrived home, she saw that the banners at the door had all been taken down.

Shangguan Yunde, the second ancestor of Shangguan’s, stepped into the Dongfang Clan’s Main Residence with a smile, “Yuxi, brother, it’s like the big water washing the Dragon King Temple—family doesn’t recognize family, I’ve come to apologize.”

“Yunde brother, why would you say such things?” Dongfang Yuxi, confused, quickly invited him into the reception hall.

Soon, Shangguan Yunde’s laughter, along with Dongfang Yuxi’s apologetic laughter, could be heard from inside. The Shangguan Clan stated that there was no rush to repay the debts owed, they could be settled slowly! The two families should interact more in the future to jointly create the future of Tianjin Port.

Moments later, after sending off Shangguan Yunde, Dongfang Yuxi’s aged face was filled with joy, and even his posture seemed less stooped.

“Old Grandfather,” Dongfang Mingxu, witnessing this scene, was incredibly shocked, “How is this possible? Lingrou, did she really resolve this?”

“Lingrou?” Dongfang Yuxi was momentarily dazed, then a bad feeling began to emerge as he looked at the approaching Dongfang Lingrou, “Lingrou, what exactly did you do?”

“Old Grandfather, here’s what happened,” Dongfang Lingrou excitedly began, “I met the Pill King, and with just a word from him, he resolved our family’s great crisis.”

“Wang Shouye?” Dongfang Yuxi’s expression become unpredictable, “Lingrou, tell me everything in detail, not missing a single word.”

Dongfang Lingrou hurriedly narrated her encounter with Wang Shouye, and how events unfolded. Dongfang Yuxi’s aged face displayed ongoing gloom until finally, when Dongfang Lingrou repeated Wang Shouye’s words: “Girl, I don’t need you to serve me. You have decent talent, focus on your cultivation, striving to be someone who can protect your clan and be useful to the Human race.”

Dongfang Yuxi’s body trembled deeply, his face showing guilt and self-blame, murmuring, “Wang Shouye, oh Wang Shouye, I always thought you just relied on your family background and took my opportunity. If our positions were reversed, I, Dongfang Yuxi, could definitely have done better.”

Protecting the clan, being useful to the Human race!

The difference in their magnanimity was simply too great.

A feeling of regret filled his chest, thinking if only he had not been so proud and impulsive in his youth, today’s outcome would not have occurred.

“If only I had Lingrou’s courage, even if I had shamelessly begged Master Danding to allow me to stay as a Named Disciple, how could the entire Dongfang Clan reach such a state?”

“Girl, you are stronger than your old grandfather. Remember the words of the Pill King,” Dongfang Yuxi lovingly ruffled her hair, then turned and walked towards the main house.

“Old Grandfather, where are you going?” The younger generations hurriedly followed.

“I’m going to apply for a job at the Wang Family Pill Refining Department branch,” Dongfang Yuxi straightened his chest, “Guaranteed thirty thousand, with additional bonuses, I, Dongfang Yuxi, will soon be able to repay Shangguan’s debts and allow our Dongfang Clan to rise again.”

“Old Grandfather, let’s go with you, we are also alchemy apprentices, let’s work together to repay the debt.”

“Alright, let’s go together, repay the debt together.”

Meanwhile.

Not far away, hidden in the shadows, Wang Shouye, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but nod quietly. Passing through Tianjin Port and being able to resolve such an old matter was quite gratifying to him.

Hoping that this trip to Da Zhou in search of the Alchemy Codex Opportunity would go smoothly.

I, Wang Shouye, also have my clan to protect.

“Master Shou Ye is truly kind and gentle, it deeply moves me,” a charming and melodious voice sounded behind him, “That young girl has decent bloodline and temperament, perhaps I could help train her? I assure you she will be very useful.”
