Chapter 751 - 102: The Wang Family Flourishes! 1 County Overlord (Requesting Monthly Votes)_2
For Mo Waoqiu, being a Celestial Pride was not easy at all.
Among this group of girls, most of whom didn’t even reach Middle Grade in talent, only a few managed to barely qualify as Middle Grade D or Grade C!
Is that so?
And yet they dare to dream of soaring from the ground to become a Phoenix?
The maid of a Great Celestial Pride is not a role for ordinary people.
"Mo Waoqiu, we are here to see Miss Liyao, how is that any of your business?"
"Fairy Waoqiu, please let me meet Miss Liyao."
"Mo Waoqiu, don’t be arrogant, catch the sword!"
Pleading and cursing voices rose one after another, yet Mo Waoqiu was steadfast as a mountain, defeating one Noble Family’s young ladies after another who tried to challenge her.
Even though she suppressed her cultivation, no one could withstand her three swords.
The girls were all in awe, the Academy’s Celestial Pride Mo Waoqiu was truly terrifying~~ This, this is the strength of a follower? Then, how powerful is the legendary Great Celestial Pride Wang Liyao?
This was merely the tip of the iceberg regarding Wang Liyao.
During this time, countless noble daughters of families sought various excuses to enter the Wang Family’s Main Residence, always trying for serendipitous encounters, hoping to charm some young talent of the Wang Family.
Unfortunately.
The younger generation of the Wang Family has increasingly higher standards and higher aspirations. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Many noble young ladies arrived full of enthusiasm, only to return home with a gloomy expression.
...
Time flew by in the blink of an eye.
Before anyone knew it, the day of the Wang Family hosting the Double Celestial Human Banquet had arrived.
Early in the morning, the area near Dingpu Ferry was already crowded with smaller and medium noble families who came to witness the bustle.
Because there were simply too many people coming to watch, there was hardly enough room at the ferry, and now even the Water Dragon Arrays on both sides of the ferry were full of people.
The crowd was packed, with almost no place to set foot.
Wu Bangzuo, having been delayed just a little, found himself stuck outside the ferry by the crowd and couldn’t help but feel annoyed. If he had known, he would have spoken fewer words with the Ancestor just now.
As he was feeling frustrated, a voice suddenly echoed from the direction of the ferry: "Brother Wu, here~ here~ I saved a spot just for you, come quick!"
He looked towards the voice and immediately saw his good brother from Yingxiu, Lua Wenhong of the Lu Family’s direct lineage. He was surrounded by a couple of Household Generals, leaving a small space enough for one person.
Wu Bangzuo was overjoyed, and his figure immediately soared into the air, gliding lightly into the gap with a few steps in the void.
Qi Cultivators can only glide in mid-air; performing consecutive hovering steps like this, creating an effect similar to walking in the air, can only be achieved by Black Tortoise cultivators at the Spirit Platform Realm or above.
Nearby Black Tortoise cultivators cast respectful glances at Wu Bangzuo. Those standing close even voluntarily shifted to give him more room.
Wu Bangzuo nodded in thanks to them and then cupped his hands toward Lua Wenhong, expressing his gratitude: "Brother Lu, your foresight is impressive. I can’t thank you enough for today~ Missing an event of such significance would be regrettable."
"Hey~ between brothers, why speak of such things?" Lua Wenhong said dismissively with a wave of his hand.
Lua Wenhong was the carefully nurtured Little Celestial Pride of the Yingxiu Lua Family, and now the Celestial Human Ancestor of the Lua Family, Lua Xiaoxiao, was his blood-related aunt.
Since the passing of Old Master Lua Zhengxiong and Lady Wang Liuling a few years ago, the marriage alliance between the Yingxiu Lua Family and the Changning Wang Family’s direct lineage has waned, but alliances still remain between the direct veins.
Fortunately, now that Lua Xiaoxiao, the Celestial Human Ancestor of the Yingxiu Lua Family, is the blood cousin of the Patriarch Wang Shouzhe of the Changning Wang Family, and since the Lua Family holds shares in the Shouda Trading Company, the ties between the two families are still very close.
Lua Wenhong is only sixty years old this year but has already reached the fourth layer of the Spirit Platform Realm; his cultivation speed is barely mid-tier even among Little Celestial Prides. At this pace, he is hopeful of reaching the Celestial Human Realm before the age of a hundred and fifty.
This is because the Yingxiu Lua Family is now financially capable of supporting his cultivation. Fifty years ago, even if he had the talent of a Little Celestial Pride, he would have most likely been sent to the Academy because the family could not afford his training.
In contrast, although Wu Bangzuo is also of Little Celestial Pride talent, his cultivation speed is slightly behind Lua Wenhong.
He is now sixty-five years old, with a cultivation of just the peak of the third layer of the Spirit Platform Realm, and will need another six months of honing before advancing to the fourth layer.
Unfortunately, the assets of the Yingxiu Wu Family are too meager to support his full-speed cultivation.
This is still due to his sister Wu Lingyun marrying into the Changning Wang Family, resulting in the Yingxiu Wu Family’s rising influence in Yingxiu and swelling coffers over the years; otherwise, he might not have been able to maintain even this cultivation speed.
Fortunately, his brother-in-law Wang Zongyao is a Celestial Pride of the Wang Family, a renowned Artifact Refiner at the age of sixty-nine, with a cultivation level already at the eighth layer of the Spirit Platform Realm, with a promising future. The Yingxiu Wu Family’s good times are still ahead.
Their connection as kin of the Wang Family, both being Little Celestial Prides, and their shared place in Yingxiu, led Lua Wenhong and Wu Bangzuo to gradually become friends.
Today, on such a significant occasion as the Changning Wang Family’s official advancement to a Sixth-Grade Noble Family, the two had naturally arranged to come and witness the excitement together.
As they were speaking, the crowd suddenly parted to either side as members of the Changning Wang Family finally arrived.
