Chapter 701: Chapter 87: The Trend! The Artifact Spirit Comes to Life_6

At the exciting part, he abruptly stopped.

A boy of about ten years old, fair-skinned and clean, destined to be a handsome man in the future. At this moment, his black and white eyes were wide open: "Grandfather, that Tang Monk is so unreasonable. Wukong killed the demon to protect him, yet he recited the Tightening Spell to harm Wukong, how awful, truly a big fool who can’t distinguish right from wrong~"

"That’s why, Zhao’Er, as the Young Clan Leader, you must assume great responsibilities in the future, and first learn to distinguish right from wrong." Wang Shouzhe smiled dotingly and patted his head.

They say grandparents favor the younger generation, and Wang Shouzhe’s indulgence towards his grandson Wang Shizhao far surpassed that towards his son Wang Zong’an.

"Grandfather, grandfather, don’t listen to brother’s nonsense anymore." A little girl about six or seven years old vigorously shook Wang Shouzhe’s arm, saying, "Quickly continue, continue, what happened to Wukong later on? Isn’t it the Three Battles against the White Bone Spirit...this is only the second fight. Also, the Tightening Spell is indeed a good thing, if I had one, I’d certainly make brother wear it so he’d obediently listen to me."

This little girl named Wang Yingting is only seven years old and is Wang Shouzhe’s eldest legitimate granddaughter.

Her brother Wang Shizhao rolled his eyes at her: "If you want to put the Tightening Spell on me, this young master will strike you dead with a stick."

"Grandfather, brother is bullying me~" Little girl Wang Yingting pouted, unwilling to show weakness, and complained in front of him.

"Wang Yingting, I think you’re the White Bone Spirit, framing good people."

Then, the brother and sister started bickering noisily.

"Alright, be quiet, both of you." Another girl around ten years old rolled her eyes and said, "Wang Shizhao, Wang Yingting, you’re twelve and seven years old respectively, can you stop being so childish?"

"Yes, little auntie." Wang Shizhao and Wang Yingting both obediently replied. There was no choice, as they were a generation apart from Wang Lijue, they had to be well-behaved when being reprimanded, even though she was still younger than Wang Shizhao by a year.

After lecturing her nephew and niece, Wang Lijue clung to Wang Shouzhe’s neck and began to act spoiled: "Daddy, I want to hear the story of the Monkey King causing chaos in the Celestial Palace~"

"Alright, alright, get down from me." Wang Shouzhe grumpily pulled her off, "You’re already eleven years old, you are not allowed to crawl into Daddy’s arms anymore. When your Luqiu aunt was eleven, she was already preparing to slaughter gods and destroy buddhas."

Just as Wang Shouzhe was accompanying the children.

Outside the grand entrance of the Wang Family’s main gate, a group of knights galloped from a distance.

The knight in the lead was riding a horse entirely crimson as fire, with smooth muscle lines like silk and four snow-white hooves—this was none other than the famous Spirit Horse "Fire Stepping on White Clouds."

This horse was majestic and intelligent, able to traverse even rugged mountain roads as if on flat ground. If on good grasslands or flat terrain, it could burst forth at a speed of one hundred fifty li within half an hour.

However, such a fine horse has its disadvantages, namely being too expensive. A qualified "Fire Stepping on White Clouds" would cost over ten thousand Qian Gold, and its daily feed needed to be a mix of legumes, Spirit Grass, and a small amount of Spiritual Flesh abundant in Spiritual Qi.

Back in the day, Wang Shouzhe rode a Fire Stepping on White Clouds to fetch his bride, Liua Ruolan, to much fanfare.

Now, thirty-some years have passed.

In the Wang’s Large Ranch located north of Changning Guard, they have successfully mastered the breeding and rearing techniques of the Fire Stepping on White Clouds. Yet even with Wang Family’s quality Spirit Beans and Spirit Grasses, successfully cultivating a Fire Stepping on White Clouds warhorse takes ten years and costs thousands of Qian Gold.

Hence even in the economically affluent Wang Family, not everyone can ride a Fire Stepping on White Clouds.

As the knight arrived at the gate tower and dismounted, sure enough, he was a handsome and vigorous young nobleman. He looked about eighteen or nineteen, yet was extremely tall, wearing a tight outfit with sword boots, carrying a strong bow and a Treasure Sword on his waist. Despite his young age, he possessed thick Profound Qi and profound roots.

This young man was none other than the contemporary Patriarch Dai Wang Shouzhe’s second legitimate son—Wang Zongrui.

Accompanying him were two slightly older young men, also very handsome and tall, with a calm and confident expression. They were Wang Shouyong’s son Wang Zongming, and Wang Shou Lian’s son Wang Zongping, both twenty-one years old.

These three were not far apart in age, shared deep affection, and often did things together. However, albeit young, Wang Zongrui was the contemporary second legitimate son, so they usually followed his lead.

Trailing behind was a squad of seven or eight Household Generals.

The Wang Family’s gatekeeping rotation Household Generals’ captain Wang Xin hurried to welcome them: "Greetings, Tenth Young Master, Eighth Young Master, Ninth Young Master." With a wave of his hand, several Household Generals came forward to lead away and settle the horses.

"Brother Xin, split it amongst your brothers to buy some wine." Wang Zongming handed over a small pouch of Large Copper, tossing it to Captain Wang Xin, and smiled, "Zongrui’s Fire Stepping on White Clouds has a big temper, it needs to be settled alone."

"Thanks to the young masters for the wine." Wang Xin smiled and said, "I heard the young masters went to Chuyun Guard? Now you look radiant, giving rewards, seems like you’ve gained quite a harvest and the task was completed very smoothly."

"But, you young masters accompanied each other to Chuyun Guard, didn’t you trouble their local noble family girls? After seeing you, surely many caught lovesickness."

This Wang Xin was born in the Wang Family’s collateral lines, entered the core Household Generals training from a young age, and was now not yet thirty, already at Qi Refining Realm eighth layer, destined to become a Spirit Platform Realm Household General in the future.
