Chapter 1635: Chapter 109: The Wang Family’s Elites Demonstrate Their Prowess Abroad

…

However…

Let’s put aside the question of whether the Wang Clan’s Clan Leader has any peculiarities; one cannot deny the immense depth and strength of this family’s foundation.

The Duchess of Luo Jia, after all, hails from the Great Zhou Dynasty’s imperial family. She is well-informed and has excellent discernment and judgment.

Take the “Double Kings of Dongqian” for example. Their talent and potential clearly place them among the top ranks of the Great Heavenly Proud, qualifying them even to inherit a codex. Even in the worst-case scenario of not obtaining a codex, these two would still stand out as elites among cultivators of the Divine Power Territory.

As for Wang Shouye, with whom she had some entanglement previously, he is even more extraordinary. With the talent of an Unparalleled Heavenly Child and the Profound Pills Codex, barring any surprises, he is destined to become one of the most outstanding alchemists in the entire Immortal Dynasty in the future.

The potential development of this family is evident from just the tip of the iceberg, let alone the fact that all prominent families habitually conceal some trump cards. What they’ve revealed now is likely only a portion of their true capabilities.

For a moment, the Duchess of Luo Jia found herself increasingly intrigued by this Changning Wang Clan.

What kind of prominent family is this?

Should the opportunity arise, she must gain a better understanding and foster connections.

“Ling Mother, send someone to infiltrate the East Qian Country Delegation. Investigate closely what kind of background this Changning Wang Clan truly has,” the Duchess of Luo Jia instructed. “Be mindful of your approach; do not antagonize our guests.”

“Rest assured, Your Highness. The current development trajectory of Dongqian is exceedingly strong. The soon-to-be-crowned Emperor Zi’an is also a ruler of remarkable talent and vision. Cultivating amicable relations benefits us more than harms us,” Ling Mother respectfully replied. “This old servant will not ruin the Duchess’s important affairs.”

After a pause, Ling Mother hesitated slightly before bowing and asked, “Your Highness, your bloodline has already reached the level of an Unparalleled Heavenly Child. Why do you choose to conceal this from His Majesty? This forces him to publicly arrange a marriage selection for you to counter the Wei King’s Mansion’s aggressive pressure for marriage.”

“You, as an Unparalleled Heavenly Child, need not fear the Wei King’s Mansion no matter how arrogant they act. They would have to withdraw their covetous desires in shame.”

“Revealing my bloodline talent prematurely won’t solve the fundamental problem.” The Duchess of Luo Jia’s expression was indifferent, though a sharp gleam flashed in her eyes. “The real issue with the Great Zhou Dynasty is that the imperial family is too weak, which has emboldened the Wei King’s Mansion. Only by genuinely strengthening the imperial family, stabilizing the situation with power and capability, can we ensure that the One King and Six Dukes will truly pledge their loyalty. As for the marriage selection, let it proceed. If I encounter someone who genuinely wins my affection, marriage isn’t entirely out of the question.”

As she spoke, the image of Wang Shouye unexpectedly surfaced in the Duchess of Luo Jia’s mind.

He was powerful, courteous, humble yet determined, and possessed extraordinary ambition and magnanimity. Being with him was comfortable and natural. He was reliable, inspiring trust in those around him.

His character and strength were both exemplary.

Sigh~

The Duchess of Luo Jia let out a deep sigh in her heart.

After meeting a man like Wang Shouye, how could any of the imperial family’s sons from other nations who had come seeking marriage compare?

Forget it~ The matter of marriage selection could be dealt with later. For now, she might as well observe whether there were any young elites among the current visitors to the Great Zhou Dynasty worth investing in or allying with.

Meanwhile, on the arena stage at Qiu Huang Tower, as the “White-Clothed Phoenix King” Wang Ningyu made his grand entrance with an overwhelming presence, the atmosphere immediately reached a fever pitch.

Apart from Wang Ningyu’s supporters shouting his name and reciting his poems, the followers of the Little Saint Master Jiang Yuanwu could no longer sit still and began to cheer for Jiang Yuanwu to take the stage.

Within the private box where Jiang Yuanwu was seated.

Jiang Liyue and Chen Yixuan’s eyes gleamed with fervent light.

If not for the constraints of being young misses of prominent families’ direct lines, they might have already rushed out to shout Wang Ningyu’s name.

“The White-Clothed Phoenix King’s aura is too overwhelming, making him seem even more dazzlingly handsome.”

“It’s as if an Exiled Immortal has descended from the far heavens. Oh~ I’m intoxicated. How could there be such a man with an aura as pure as ice and snow in this world?”

As their words intertwined, the two women’s gazes clashed, suddenly igniting sparks of tension. Waves of enmity began to ripple between the “inseparably close” friends.

“I can’t stand it anymore,” murmured the young Duke Chen Taiching, rolling his eyes. “Wang Anyuan and Wang Ningyu, this uncle and nephew duo, are truly unmatched at flaunting. Just for an entrance, they’ve staged such an elaborate display—those unaware might think a True Immortal had descended.”

“What do you know? This is called a sense of occasion…” Jiang Liyue and Chen Yixuan snapped back simultaneously. “Even if it’s ‘flaunting,’ they have the strength to back it up. Based on the potential and prowess showcased by the White-Clothed Phoenix King, he stands equal even with the best heirs of First-Grade Prominent Families. Why shouldn’t someone like that flaunt a bit?”

Jiang Yuanwu’s face no longer bore its earlier nonchalance; instead, a trace of solemnity crept in. “This person is even more remarkable than I initially anticipated.”

“His comprehension and application of the Ice Phoenix Bloodline have reached a state of perfection, and his understanding and control of the Small Divine Power are exceptional. He’s not on the level of an ordinary Great Heavenly Proud. Interesting, interesting. I hadn’t expected to encounter such a proud child in the Great Zhou, apart from the two from the Wei King’s Mansion. Dongqian is certainly not to be underestimated.”

The “two” Jiang Yuanwu referred to were “Wei Donglai” and “Wei Yuansheng,” both renowned prodigies of their generation from the Wei King’s Mansion.

Currently, the top position on the Purple Abode Geniuses Ranking belonged to Wei Donglai, while Wei Yuansheng occupied the number one spot on the Celestial Geniuses Ranking.
