"Impossible, right?" Beichen Ancestor was a bit incredulous, "I’ve heard that Junior Brother Yoou’an is from a Fifth-Grade Purple Mansion Family in Lingbei County. Because he possesses the Profound Ice Celestial Pride Bloodline and couldn’t find a suitable inheritance in Lingbei County, he joined the Purple Mansion Academy in Longzuo County. Such a celestial pride, what woman could be out of his reach?"

Ever since Beichen Ancestor broke through to the Celestial Human Realm after secluding himself in death’s door, his entire aura seemed to have elevated significantly. The few strands of white hair at his temples disappeared, the wrinkles on his face lessened, making him more confident and youthful.

No wonder, if he hadn’t advanced to the Celestial Human Realm, he wouldn’t have had many years left to live. But now, having reached the Celestial Human Realm, his lifespan extended to four hundred years.

Even though it’s unlikely his physical abilities would allow him to reach full life expectancy, living up to three hundred and sixty shouldn’t be difficult.

Moreover, with his successful advancement to the Celestial Human Realm, the Changning Xu Family has also fulfilled the dreams of their ancestors, successfully reaching the ranks of a Seventh-Grade Noble Family.

In such circumstances, how could Beichen Ancestor’s mindset not have changed?

"Junior Brother Shouzhe, Brother Beichen, please stop guessing." Faang You’an said, somewhat embarrassed, "I just think that falling in love is quite a waste of cultivation time."

Such a weak excuse, of course, no one believed it.

"In our Purple Mansion Academy, which direct senior sister could make Senior Brother Yoou’an feel unworthy?" Junior Sister Lvwei’s gossip heart was ignited, and she started counting on her fingers.

The academy doesn’t have many direct disciples, and the senior sisters of each lineage or peak are few in number.

"It might not necessarily be a senior sister." Wang Shouzhe took a sip of spirit wine and casually hinted.

"If not a senior sister, could it be a junior sister?" Junior Sister Lvwei’s eyes widened, "Among each lineage and peak, there’s only one junior sister like me who is both a junior and more outstanding than Senior Brother Yoou’an!"

Wang Shouzhe nearly spat out his wine. Your comment about being more outstanding than Senior Brother Yoou’an is quite smoothly delivered.

"No, no, although Senior Brother Yoou’an looks decent and his strength is so-so, he’s just too dull." Junior Sister Lvwei shook her head vigorously, "I prefer someone like Shouzhe. If I were to experiment with marriage, I’d definitely consider Junior Brother Shouzhe first."

Wang Shouzhe’s mouth twitched, his face turning dark.

Junior Sister Lvwei, thank you sincerely for your favor~

Not to mention he already has a loving wife, even if he didn’t, he wouldn’t consider Junior Sister Lvwei even if he remained a bachelor for life.

Ancestor Longyan had an epiphany about a possibility and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Could it be that Senior Brother Yoou’an is fond of..."

Then, she looked at Faang You’an with a complicated gaze.

The ancestor reacted quickly, and Wang Shouzhe gave her a thumbs up with a smile.

"Junior Brother Shouzhe, Junior Sister Longyan." Faang You’an’s face turned ghostly white, and he rarely got angry out of embarrassment, "Stop guessing. I have only respect for my master... uh..."

"Master?" Junior Sister Lvwei covered her mouth, her big eyes blinking at Faang You’an, "So, Senior Brother Yoou’an, you like... No wonder you always stayed there..."

"Lvwei!" Faang You’an’s face turned pale, his mouth twitching uncontrollably, "Shut up."

"Senior Brother Yoou’an, actually, it’s not a big deal." Wang Shouzhe patted his shoulder and said, "It’s just that you feel a bit of pressure, and you need to work harder on cultivating, aim to reach the Purple Mansion Realm soon, then you’ll have a chance."

"Ahem! I said I didn’t..." Faang You’an coughed repeatedly, quickly changing the subject, "By the way, when you were at the East Sea Guard, visiting the Tantai Family’s King of the Eastern Sea, why did you take us along? Aren’t you..."

"Leveraging influence, right?" Wang Shouzhe looked as if it was a matter of course, "Our Wang Family’s marriage alliance originally has collaborations with the East Sea Royal Family. However, they are an old Celestial Human Family, and their mentality takes time to adjust. I’m doing this for the East Sea Royal Family’s good, to prevent unnecessary conflicts in the future."

"You see, things are much better now. The King of the Eastern Sea even personally saw us off to the ship, and his smiles have become quite amiable."

"So, where do you plan to show face next?" Faang You’an rolled his eyes in exasperation. Using the status of the academy’s direct disciples to strut around, and this kid still acts with righteous confidence?

Earlier, he even visited Beichen Ancestor of the Changning Xu Family, using their status as direct disciples to coax Beichen Ancestor into joining the team.

No wonder, Master’s disapproval of Wang Shouzhe is unwavering. If not for considering Junior Sister Longyan’s face, she wouldn’t even acknowledge him.

"Next, we’ll head to the Hundred Islands Guard’s Zhong Family. I’ve already sent someone to make contact." Wang Shouzhe drank spirit wine and seriously said, "As they say, an outsider can’t suppress a local bully. When our academy is out handling matters, we still need to rely on the local forces."

As the saying goes, it’s better to overestimate the enemy, and since this challenge can’t be avoided, for foolproof safety, Wang Shouzhe naturally needs to utilize all the relationships available.

Earlier, he had even written to Ancestor Zhubo, though in recent years, the Longzuo Wang Family developed rapidly and clashed with a Celestial Human Family over interests, leading to several military confrontations.

To ensure utmost safety, Ancestor Zhubo must temporarily hold the ground at the Longzuo old mansion.

Although the King of the Eastern Sea was polite, without specifying the actual task, he declined with the excuse of being preoccupied.
