Protect Our Chief-Chapter 617 - 58 I’m Your Grandpa

...

Actually in the very beginning. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Wang Shouzhe only knew that in the Daqian Capital, Gui Long City, there was a Daqian Wang Family. Later, through more exchanges with the Longzuo Wang Family, he became increasingly clear about the world structure, and found out that there was also a Wang Family in Southern Desert.

That was a branch of the Wang Family split from Daqian, and it separated as a Celestial Human Branch over a thousand years ago. However, that branch developed quite well and kept close with the main vein of Daqian, and it became a Purple Mansion Family over seven hundred years ago.

Nowadays, the Southern Desert Wang Family has already completed its second Purple Mansion transition and is currently undergoing its third one, making it a stable Fifth-Grade Noble Family.

In the earlier years, when the Longzuo Wang Family was still a Purple Mansion Family, there were mutual exchanges with the Southern Desert Wang Family.

But later, as the Longzuo Wang Family failed to complete the Purple Mansion transition, the family fell into decline and gradually weakened. Over time, their exchanges also diminished, and their bonds gradually faded.

Especially in the past one or two hundred years, the Southern Desert Wang Family had very minimal contacts with the Longzuo Wang Family. Most interactions happened when people from the Southern Desert Wang Family were passing through Longzuo County for business and stopped by for a visit.

As the Longzuo Wang Family’s strength significantly weakened and their activity scope became smaller, naturally their interactions with the Southern Desert Wang Family became rare, leading to increased estrangement between the two sides.

The Southern Desert Wang Family and the Longzuo Wang Family had grown so distant, and there was even less interaction with the Changning Wang Family. Since Wang Shouzhe succeeded to the position, he had never dealt with the Southern Desert Wang Family.

Therefore, his original intention to visit Southern Desert was to come quietly and leave quietly, without thinking of recognizing any relatives.

Who would have thought he would encounter Someone from the Southern Desert Wang Family under such circumstances? And it seemed that the person who came was a junior of the "Shi" generation...

Just when Wang Shouzhe and the Ancestor were silently keeping a low profile.

Over there, Patriarch Mo’s face chilled and he angrily rebuked, "Wang Shihai, considering your young age, usually I let you have your way. But this time, while I’m entertaining a distinguished guest from Longzuo~~ you are being unreasonable, do you really think my Mo Family is defenseless?"

"A distinguished guest from Longzuo? They’re just country bumpkins from the sticks~" A certain idle youth beside Wang Shihai yelled arrogantly, "Can’t they open their eyes and see whose territory this is? Brothers~~ flip their table for me!"

Within just a few words, the verbal conflict between both sides began to escalate. Wang Shihai and a group of young idlers became emotionally charged, and rushed forward, flipping a table full of dishes onto the ground with a "bang".

"Arrogant, truly arrogant!" Patriarch Mo was so angry his whole body trembled, he turned apologetically to Qiaan Xuehan, "Patriarch Xuehan, please leave first. This Patriarch refuses to believe that the Wang Family’s Little Demon King dares defy the heavens..."

However.

Before he could finish speaking, Qiaan Xuehan got up and stopped him.

He squinted his eyes at Wang Shihai and the other young men, and said aloud, "Young fellows, do not be impulsive, please hear what I have to say first."

"Who do you think you are to have the right to speak?" A haughty idler scoffed at him, "In front of Young Master Shihai in Southern Desert County, whether you’re a dragon, you should coil up; if you’re a tiger, you should lie down."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the two Celestial Human Realm Elders accompanying Qiaan Xuehan changed, and they got up ready to take action.

Qiaan Xuehan was the new Patriarch of the Qiaan Family, and he held a prestigious status.

Although the Elder Council could pose checks on the Patriarch, the overall status and power of the Patriarch remained quite high. Moreover, outside, the Patriarch represented the face of the Qiaan family—how could he be humiliated like this?

"Hold on."

Qiaan Xuehan raised his hand to stop the elders, then looked at Wang Shihai, and said faintly, "I am Qiaan Xuehan, humbly serving as the Patriarch of the Fifth-Grade Noble Family, Longzuo Qiaan Family. Young friend of the Wang Family, are you intending to instigate hostility between the Southern Desert Wang Family and the Longzuo Qiaan Family?"

His attitude remained humble and polite, without appearing overbearing, yet with his words, a sense of authority welled up within him, adding a touch of dignity to his demeanor.

As a Fifth-Grade Purple Mansion Family, the Longzuo Qiaan Family naturally held social status under his leadership.

"Fifth-Grade Family? Patriarch?"

The young master Wang Shihai’s expression changed, somewhat angrily glaring at his "companions," as if questioning them on why their intelligence was wrong.

Wang Shihai was still a junior and had not yet taken on a position within the family. The other was, however, the Patriarch of a Fifth-Grade Family, holding a status equivalent to his father Wang Zonghao’s status in the Southern Desert Wang Clan.

Although he was known as the "Little Demon King of Chaos," he was not foolish. Even if the other was just an overseas dragon, it was not something he could afford, putting his family in jeopardy with the Qiaan Family, which boasted formidable strength.

However, he was ultimately youthful and impetuous, unable to save face for the time being, his expression wavering inconsistently.

"Oh well." Qiaan Xuehan generously waved his hand and said, "This matter seems to be a misunderstanding. Such a trivial matter, let’s not dwell on it any further."

"Haha~~ Since a guest from the Longzuo Qiaan Family has come, I, Wang Shihai, naturally must give the Qiaan Family some face."

Wang Shihai had already decided to retreat, seeing an opportunity to step down gracefully, he quickly said a face-saving line and then glared harshly at Patriarch Mo.

"This matter, we’ll settle it between the two of us later."

Unexpectedly.

Qiaan Xuehan laughed and said, "Young friend, please stay. I see you are young and handsome, with a distinguished presence—surely you are a Celestial Pride of the younger generation in the Southern Desert Wang Family."
