...
"Are you kidding me? Did you forge the admission recommendation letter?!" Artifact Spirit Jiu Xiao was incredulous, his voice unconsciously raising by an octave.
Simultaneously.
A beam of light shot out from the energy portal, instantly condensing into the image of a woman in the void.
It was actually Artifact Spirit Jiu Xiao who couldnât help but manifest a virtual image at the entrance of the Little Heavenly Abode.
She appeared to be a woman around twenty years old, with classic features of peace and prosperity, and a palace dress that outlined her figure fully. Her gaze and demeanor were sharp, exuding a strong aura of an authoritative elder sister.
She glanced at Wang Baosheng, as if recalling something, and reminded, "This is not allowed, even if Reincarnation Sacred Supreme or Saint Emperor helps cheat, it wonât work, our academy has its regulations."
Clearly, she had communicated with Baosheng before and knew he was likely the reincarnation of the Saint Emperor.
"Holy Child?" Yun Mengyu looked uncertainly at the image of Artifact Spirit Jiu Xiao and then called Wang Baosheng, who had joined her, to her side, "Did you design this Artifact Spirit girlâs image in your previous life?"
"...?" Wang Baosheng looked puzzled, "I vaguely remember it might have been me who designed it in my previous life, Mother, is there a problem?"
"Itâs nothing." Yun Mengyu waved her hand dismissively, "Go about your business."
"Mother, I take my leave..." Wang Baosheng walked away with a face full of doubt.
After he had walked away, Yun Mengyu began whispering with Princess Zhao Yu, "I told you, our Baosheng likes those who are older, mature in appearance, and has a cool and enchanting aura."
"I figured this childâs taste in girls doesnât follow his fatherâs at all." Princess Zhao Yu nodded with shared feelings, "He also likes to hang out with Ouyang Nanyan and frequently clashes with Shentu Shihe, it seems very much like a pair of foes in love. Moreover, he admires Princess Su Yun deeply."
"What to do then?" Yun Mengyu worried, "Baosheng is the Wang familyâs direct heir, his wife must be from a famous direct lineage, yet he is very picky and has rejected numerous matchmaking attempts. Do we have to introduce Su Yun to him?"
Though Yun Mengyu referred to Princess Su Yun as sister, in reality, apart from both being of Yun family bloodline, their familial relations were quite distant, separated by many generations, spanning at least five if not dozens, with a great generational gap.
Such cross-generational marital situations rarely occur among Prominent Families, but itâs not entirely impossible.
"But Princess Su Yun is to inherit the Immortal Emperorâs throne." Princess Zhao Yu complained, troubled, "Canât have Baosheng marrying into the Yun family, can we? If so, I might as well have the Old Ancestor invest heavily in Shentu Shihe, and once her Bloodline Talent meets the standard, elevate her to Demonic Dynasty princess status. Such a status will then be worthy of Baosheng."
"Our Yun family can also have a new princess, now everyone has ample resources, picking someone with the right status, talent, and character and elevating them to princess isnât hard." Yun Mengyu was immediately discontent, "Besides, our third sister, Princess Jingan, still doesnât have a Mansion owner! If Baosheng likes older ones..."
Naturally, the two princesses started arguing again over Wang Baoshengâs marital matters.
Beside them, Wang Fugui felt extremely frustrated and immediately reassured his two wives, "Stop worrying about Baosheng aimlessly; Grandpa Old Ancestor is keener than you are, he might already have his eye on a girl from a major Immortal Clan in the Sacred Domain."
A girl from the Sacred Domain?
Yun Mengyu and Princess Zhao Yu both pouted.
Whatâs so great about girls from major Immortal Clans in the Sacred Domain? Theyâre just so-so. Our Baosheng is a natural Taoist Body! Even marrying a Sacred Race direct daughter is deserving enough.
While they were happily discussing, on the other side, young clan leader Wang Zongâan was already negotiating with Artifact Spirit Jiu Xiao.
Mature and steady, he naturally handled things methodically, allowing her to inspect one by one to relieve Jiu Xiaoâs suspicion.
After the discussion was completed, Wang Zongâan looked at the descendants from his direct line behind him, "Who volunteers first?"
"Old Ancestor." Wang Jinyu stepped forward, saluting Wang Zongâan, and cheerfully volunteered, "I am the youngest among the prospective students, Iâll go first."
This Wang Jinyu was the fifteen-year-old girl who once wanted to introduce Wang Shouzhe to her aunt on the flying boat. Now, thirty-some years later, she had grown into a graceful young lady, yet her face still retained a youthful glow, akin to someone seventeen or eighteen.
However, as soon as she spoke.
A beautiful, fair-skinned madam beside her showed a worried expression: "Yuer, why rush to be the first? The situation in the academy is unclear and too dangerous."
This speaking madam was from the Jiang family. She hailed from the Immortal Dynastyâs Cold Moon Jiang Clan, and was a lady from its direct collateral line.
She married Wang Baorong of the Wang familyâs direct collateral line at a young age, not yet fifty, and they were a loving couple. Within five years, they had Wang Jinyu.
Wang Baorong was about twenty years older than his wife; now he is nearly 120 years old, ranked 367 under the "Baorong" generation, and his cultivation base has reached Level Three of the Purple Abode Realm. He graduated from a High Clan School, then started from the bottom in the family business, accumulating experience and rising through the ranks.
Currently, he holds a position at the Holy Domain Development Headquarters, in the Greater Dry Jurisdiction of the Southern Desert County, and is responsible for all the affairs of the Exploration Department in the Southern Desert County, being a core member of Wangâs Elite talents.
