Wang Liuyu also fussed over Wang Luo Jing, clearly showing her sympathy for her niece who lost her father at a young age. She even specifically handed her a gold note worth ten Qian Gold.

“Auntie, Jing’er can’t accept it. I heard that cousin Zhuo is currently striving to reach the third level of the Vital Energy Refining Realm, you should save it for him.” Wang Luo Jing repeatedly waved her hands, refusing to accept it. Usually, the resources for the cultivation of young clan members mainly come from the family’s supply. In addition, some relatives with closer blood relations, such as parents, often try to support the younger generation. However, Wang Luo Jing’s father, Wang Dingbang, died five years ago, and therefore Luo Jing is disadvantaged in this aspect.

“Jing’er, if your aunt asks you to take it, just take it.” Wang Liuyu said slightly annoyed, “Your father is gone, can’t I, your aunt, help you out?”

“Luo Jing, just accept it.” Wang Shouzhe said with a smile at his side, “Don’t disappoint your third aunt’s kindness.”

He of course knew that recently, both Wang Luo Jing and Wang Shouzhe had shown great value. Gongsun Mo, their “cheap maternal grandfather,” deliberately pulled the third aunt and uncle to accompany them, trying to further intensify the intimacy between the two sides and play the family card. In addition, Luo Jing has the potential to become an Insect Master in the future. If not to win her over now, then when? Wang Shouzhe is naturally also pleased to see the relationship between the two sides becoming increasingly close, after all, the comprehensive strength of the Gongsun Clan is much stronger than the Ping’an Wang Family.

“Yes, fourth brother, thank you, third aunt.” Wang Luo Jing obediently took it. Then, the two families sat down and had a harmonious meal together.

But this time, the main character being praised was not Wang Shouzhe, but Wang Luo Jing.

“Luo Jing.” Gongsun Mo affectionately filled her bowl with a portion of White Jade Spiritual Rice, a large piece of Spirit Horned Yak meat, and a large piece of Spirit Fish meat, “You’ve worked so hard today, eat more, don’t hold back.” Wang Luo Jing was a bit confused, looking helplessly at Wang Shouzhe. The resources of any family are evenly distributed. Luo Jing, being a girl from the direct line of the family, wasn’t high in the family’s cultivation queue. The Spirit Food she could get every month was very limited. Where would she have such a luxurious eating method?

She pursed her lips, she wanted to eat, but she didn’t dare.

“Eat, don’t disappoint your grandpa’s kindness.” Wang Shouzhe said, lovingly stroking her head, “In the future, brother will try harder to let our family live a better life.”

“Yes, thank you, fourth brother, thank you, Grandpa Gongsun.” Wang Luo Jing obediently picked up her chopsticks and began eating the White Jade Spiritual Rice in large mouthfuls, her expression very satisfied.

Seeing her enjoying her meal so much, Wang Shouzhe felt relieved, but also heavy, feeling the pressure of being the leader of the clan.

“Zhe Er, we owe you a lot this time.” Gongsun Mo poured some Spiritual Wine for Wang Shouzhe and said, “Our people have assessed that this time, because of your support, we will reduce the loss by at most 20% compared to last year, saving a loss of more than a thousand Qian Gold.”

More than a thousand Qian Gold, both for the Gongsun Clan and the Wang family, is a huge sum. What Gongsun Mo cared more about was the friendly signal Wang Shouzhe sent to the Gongsun Clan.

It was also for this reason that the Gongsun Clan expressed their greatest sincerity in treating Wang Shouzhe and company, they ensured there was enough spiritual wine and food. This dinner alone would cost at least tens of Qian Gold.

“Grandpa is too polite to me.” Wang Shouzhe took a sip of the Spiritual Wine and said modestly,” Speaking of which, this is also because of our good luck. My sister has just gained some knowledge of the Technique of Insect Control.” Gongsun Qiang, the Young Clan Leader sitting next to him commented with his eyes sparkling: “Speaking of which, Shouzhe, you are really lucky. As soon as you became the clan leader, you discovered an Insect Master in our family. I don’t know if Luo Jing has found a suitor yet? Should we consider our Little Yan for her?”

“Huh?”

Wang Luo Jing, who was gobbling up her food, had her eyes widen in surprise as if she had been startled.

“Uncle, Luo Jing is only twelve years old.” Wang Shouzhe’s tone also radiated a hint of dissatisfaction, “Besides, our cousin is from the Gongsun clan’s direct line, and our Luo Jing is just from the direct line, I’m afraid they don’t match.” “No worries, no worries.” Gongsun Qiang seemed to ignore Wang Shouzhe’s underlying dissatisfaction, and continued to argue, “A good girl like Luo Jing, our family will never mind her bloodline.”

Wang Shouzhe slapped his forehead: you might not mind, but our family does, right?

Lucidly at this time, Gongsun Hui came forward to shield them from the barrage: “Brother, you’re dreaming. Our Luo Jing is an Insect Master. Her future potential is infinite. For example, her ability to control the Nine-star Bug King alone means she’s a popular figure in the whole of Changning. After the Insecticide Powder incident from the Purple Abode Academy, which family would still want to use it?”

After a slight pause, Gongsun Hui continued: “Just take the sixteen thousand acres of fertile land in the Gongsun family for example. If medicine is applied once a season, twice a year, the annual consumption of Insecticide Powder would reach more than three hundred Qian Gold. If our Wang family only charges the Gongsun family two hundred Qian Gold, and the Insect Master personally goes to exterminate the insects, would we do this business?” Gongsun Hui’s words seemed to awaken everyone.

Even Gongsun Mo was taken aback, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Wang Luo Jing was extremely serious, as though beholding a goldmine.

The ability of an insect master to make money was indeed formidable. Regarding this business, Wang Shouzhe had already considered it. However, solely relying on one insect master, Luo Jing, the number she could cover in a limited short time would inevitably be limited. At most, she might be able to cover fifty to sixty thousand acres.

Yet, even so, simply by helping each clan exterminate insects, it would earn them at least seven to eight hundred Qian gold annually, and that was at a friendly discounted price.

Not to mention, insect masters excel in raising spiritual insects. Among spiritual insects, there are quite a few economic types like the spiritual silkworm and spirit bee.”

Therefore, Aunt Gongsun Hui voiced Wang Shouzhe’s thoughts: Gongsun Qiang, you have beautiful dreams. Whoever has such a golden child would not willingly give her away in marriage.

“Shouzhe, you really are blessed.” Seeing Wang Shouzhe through different eyes, Gongsun Qiang was filled with envy and jealousy. He wished his family could also produce an insect master.

Unfortunately, producing an insect master is no simple feat.

First, those who possess the talent of an insect master are extremely rare. One must have the talent to communicate with insects, which is a rather unique gift.

Second, major clans themselves lack the heritage of an insect master, making it difficult to filter out people with the talent of an insect master from their clansmen.

According to the information obtained by the Gongsun Clan, there are only three insect masters in the entire Changning region. They are from the Liu clan of Shanyin, the Xu clan of Changning, and there is also an insect master serving in the City Defense Mansion.

The information is more detailed than Wang Shouzhe’s, after all, the Gongsun Clan of Shanyang is more prosperous in the Spirit Platform family.

Because the Gongsun and Wang clans both have the intention to get along, they all had a good time during the dinner.

The next day.

Wang Luo Jing, who had rested, continued to tame the newly captured King of the grass-bug and Nine-star Bug King. After many experiences, Wang Luo Jing seemed to have made considerable progress, she tamed several Bug Kings within half an hour.

By the afternoon, she had already released the Bug Kings into the other two farms. Next, the head of the Gongsun clan’s household needed to continue to capture wild grasshoppers and nine-star insects and replenish the wheat fields of the farm.

With the restraint and leadership of the Bug Kings, these grasshoppers and nine-star insects will not leave.

“Big Brother Four, the taming level of these Bug Kings is too shallow,” Wang Luo Jing said, looking a little tired, “I’m afraid their wild nature will recover in a few days, so we’ll have to do it again then. Big Brother Four, let’s go to the Lu Clan of Yingxiu first.”

“Luo Jing, you look a little tired,” Wang Shouzhe said with concern, “why don’t you rest for the night before…

“Big Brother Four, I’m okay,” Wang Luo Jing shook her head, “The signs of a pest outbreak are becoming more and more apparent. If we wait until tomorrow to go, the Lu family will suffer huge loss. Big Brother Four, I know your relationship with the Lu Family of Yingxiu …”

Relationship, yes.

Indeed, from the perspective of blood relations, the Lu family of Yingxiu and Wang Shouzhe are very close. His mother, who passed away early due to illness, was a beautiful young lady from the Lu family of Yingxiu, as well as the sister of the present clan leader, Lu Zhengxiong.

Moreover, the wife of Lu Zhengxiong was from the direct lineage of the sixth generation of the Wang family and therefore Wang Shouzhe’s maternal aunt, Wang Liuling.

This custom of intermarriage was often observed among the prominent families of Profound Martial world. Marriages between the direct members of two families brought them closer.

The only unfortunate event was the early death of Wang Shouzhe’s mother, Lu Mengxue, when he was six years old, leaving behind a young son and daughter. The memory of his birth mother was always the toughest to bear, causing him great pain whenever he remembered her.

Fortunately, his stepmother Gongsun Hui treated him very well since childhood, as if he was her very own, which gradually helped him accept his stepmother and thus reduced much of his inner trauma.

As his memories and feelings merged more and more deeply, Wang Shouzhe began to feel that he was more and more a part of this world, as if he had grown up here since childhood. The memories of Earth, on the other hand, gradually seemed like a dream.
