Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 183: Chapter 3: My Daughter Has the Demeanor of a Great Emperor (Seeking Recommendations)_1

…

However, there was a positive side to this—it established a good atmosphere within the family.

Even the Clan Leader and his wife loved each other deeply, treated each other with mutual respect, and maintained perfect harmony.

The other couples in the clan naturally followed their example.

What Wang Shouzhe found most exasperating was that every time he advanced and became stronger, Liu Ruolan would always surpass him one step ahead, and he still couldn’t defeat her!

Wasn’t it still a few months until Wang Shouzhe could fully polish the Vital Energy Refining Realm?

And yet, Liu Ruolan, who usually took care of the children and didn’t seem to work hard, actually achieved perfection one step ahead of him.

Perhaps this was one reason why Wang Shouzhe wanted to enhance his bloodline for the second time.

At least, he could ensure that he wouldn’t accidentally overuse his power and leave his wife a widow.

“Husband, I made this lotus seed soup just for you, have a try first. Actually, it’s not that I intended to hide it from you, it’s just that you never asked,” Liu Ruolan said innocently. “Besides, didn’t you also hide your own bloodline? On our wedding night, those vines of yours definitely gave me a fright.”

Liu Ruolan was quite reasonable when she was not provoked.

This one pleasant aspect made Wang Shouzhe feel somewhat relieved.

So, Wang Shouzhe drank the lotus seed soup with joy. Even though it should have been sweetened, his wife accidentally added high-quality salt, and quite a bit at that.

He still smiled and praised his wife’s excellent cooking skills.

“Thank you for your compliment, husband. Oh right, Ruotong reported earlier that the Spirit Testing Platform—a project that you commissioned an Array Master to purchase and supervise at the Academic Palace—has been completed. Perhaps we could find some time in the next few days to check it out. Conveniently, our daughter Liyao is also at the age to test her aptitude.

“If Liyao has a Profound Martial aptitude, we should start nourishing her meridians and prepare her for cultivation,” Liu Ruolan gently reminded him, truly a wise and virtuous lady.

When their beloved daughter was mentioned, Wang Shouzhe was visibly excited: “My precious daughter, I’m sure she has extraordinary talents.”

The Spirit Testing Platform was a huge investment made by Wang Shouzhe. Including the cost of the Platform and labor, it probably cost around ten thousand Qian Gold.

Normally, a family would need to go to the official Spirit Testing Platform at the Changning Guards Government Office to assess their children’s aptitude.

That Spirit Testing Platform was open to the entire world. Even commoners could apply. However, each test costs ten Qian Gold, and it can’t be used at will—it’s only open after a accumulated batch of applications.

Now, it’s not that the Wang family can’t afford the test fee.

It’s just that there are many unusual bloodlines in the family, and Wang Shouzhe didn’t want their special bloodlines to be a common topic of discussion.

Most ordinary families, on one hand, couldn’t afford to set up a Spirit Testing Platform. On the other hand, even if they occasionally tested a child with a particularly good aptitude, it would be an occasion for family-wide celebration. Hence, they didn’t share Wang Shouzhe’s concerns.

Moreover, Wang Shouzhe had some other ideas regarding the Spirit Testing Platform.

Therefore, it was deemed necessary to build a Spirit Testing Platform in the family home, even if it costs a large sum of Qian Gold and a lot of favors.

Upon this thought, Wang Shouzhe said, “Let’s go tomorrow then, we can use this opportunity to notify my siblings and have them retest their aptitudes.”

Wang Shouzhe last tested his aptitude when he was seven, so he isn’t sure how his aptitude has changed after the fluctuations in his bloodline intensity.

After deciding on this matter,

Wang Shouzhe looked left and right, seeing nobody around, he lowered his voice and said, “My dear, ever since your ‘Mysterious Water True Verses’ was cultivated to the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm, we haven’t sparred for a long time.”

Liu Ruolan blushed slightly, a hint of spring appeared in her almond eyes, and she said shyly, “My dear, your ‘Longevity Youth True Verses’ are about to reach perfection. It’s true that I indeed haven’t had a taste of your power in a long time.”

“However, the children are still studying in the study… it might be inconvenient,” she said with some reservations, blushing.

Wang Shouzhe laughingly said, “No worries, we can go to the Water Moon Heavenly Pavilion.”

Water Moon Heavenly Pavilion.

This was a small residence that Wang Shouzhe had built over the years, on a small island in the center of Zhuwei Lake. After expanding the island through land filling, it became a lovely retreat for the couple.

The main purpose of its construction was to provide a place for the couple to temporarily escape from their children. The couple could appreciate the moon and the lake together in peace. If they felt like it, they could even spar using their Profound Martial fighting techniques.

There was no other meaning, it was simply what it was.

Liu Ruolan’s beautiful eyes twinkled, clearly she was also very intrigued. After a little hesitation, she agreed in a low voice, “Alright, I will follow your arrangements, husband.”

And so,

After giving Qiao’er a few instructions, the couple disappeared.

Two hours later,

The two children who had been studying diligently in the study,

Suddenly,

Realised that they hadn’t seen their parents for a good while.

Wang Liyao pouted, “Daddy promised to come and tell us the story of Chang’e, why hasn’t he come yet?”

“Mama also said she would come to check our homework, but she hasn’t come either,” Wang Zong’an rolled his eyes and said, “I bet they went to practice their Profound Martial fighting technique again.”

“Probably, Mom and Dad have been pretty persistent in their training recently.”

On the side, Qiao’er was sweating profusely.

…

The next day, in the backyard of Wang family’s main residence,

A vacant, uninhabited courtyard was transformed to accommodate a Spirit Testing Platform.

The Testing Platform, shaped like the Eight Trigrams, was carved out of white jade stone and decorated with many complex and intricate runes.
