Chapter 454: Chapter 111: Longyan Celestial Human Banquet (Part 2 Conclusion)_2

As time goes by, even if both families do nothing, the economic competition alone could make the Celestial Human Lei Family suffer. After a hundred years, as the Celestial Human Lei Family gradually weakens, they might be unable to complete the celestial transition and fall into decline, ultimately being kicked out of the competition.

This is something Lei Yangyu does not want to see.

If he doesn’t establish a marriage alliance with the Wang Family this time, he should find a way to disrupt the relationship between the Xu Family and the Wang Family next. If he can cause the marriage between the two families to fall through and even turn them against each other, it would naturally be most beneficial for the Lei Family.

But now, since he has already chosen to form a marriage alliance, he naturally goes along with the flow, joining in to change the two-family alliance into a three-family alliance.

As for the future, with Wang Shouzhe’s far-sighted strategic planning, he is certainly already prepared, and Lei Yangyu will just watch and see.

Wang Shouzhe is also very satisfied with this result.

In his heart, he does not like fighting and killing. Compared to competing and struggling with other noble families, he prefers to farm, fish, develop quietly, and the days of the Ping’an Wang Family will naturally become more and more prosperous.

Being able to form a marriage alliance with the Lei Family this time and bringing them onto the same boat, the territory of Changning Guard can now be considered as stable as Taishan.

Even the City Guardian’s Mansion of Changning must look at the Wang Family’s attitude and seek their consent before making any decision.

In the subsequent days,

the various noble families arrived at the Wang Family one after another.

Among them, the families related by marriage to the Wang Family must be mentioned.

The first to arrive was the Yingxiu Lu Family.

Because they came from the farthest distance, they set out earlier and were the first to arrive instead.

The Yingxiu Lu Family was led by Ancestor Mingsheng personally, accompanied by the newly promoted two ancestors of the Yingxiu Lu Family, Lua Zhengxiong, and Lua Xiaoxiao.

Lua Zhengxiong was the former clan leader of the Yingxiu Lu Family, and his wife is Wang Shouzhe’s biological aunt, Wang Liuling. The current clan leader of the Yingxiu Lu Family is the eldest legitimate son of Lua Zhengxiong and Wang Liuling, and also Lua Xiaoxiao’s biological brother.

In addition, the second daughter of Wang Shouxin, the eldest of the "Shou" generation, Wang Liwan, married into the Yingxiu Lu Family a few years ago and has now returned with them as well.

With her elder sister Wang Lici present, Wang Liwan has been living quite comfortably in the Yingxiu Lu Family. Although she married into a direct vein, both talent and temperament are very decent, and she is expected to be the next Spirit Platform Seed that the Yingxiu Lu Family plans to cultivate.

Then arrived the Golden Sand Xu Family.

They also brought many people this time. Clan leader Xu Anze and Ancestor Spirit Platform Xu Ningwei personally came, bringing along many juniors of the family.

Thanks to the profits of the textile workshop, the Golden Sand Xu Family has had a plump wallet these years, and Xu Anze has successfully advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm.

Today, the Golden Sand Xu Family already has two Spirit Platforms in their family, and a few juniors of decent talent, who are expected to join the ranks of the eighth-grade noble families in a dozen or twenty years.

Wang Lumei and Wang Luohuo, two Wang Family women who married into the Golden Sand Xu Family, also returned with them this time.

Influenced by the rise of the Wang Family, their status in the Golden Sand Xu Family has soared over the years, and they have been living quite comfortably as well. Though one is over sixty and the other over forty, they appear graceful and noble, with a bearing that rivals those wives of small noble families.

The Shanyin Liu Family also brought many people this time.

Not only did Lord Taishan Liua Gaowang lead the group personally, but Liua Xuanfu and Liua Qingbai, the two strongest ancestors of the Shanyin Liu Family, also came together, accompanied by another ancestor, Liua Zhisheng, who also came.

Ancestor Zhisheng, being of a lower generation than Liua Xuanfu and Liua Qingbai, is the grandson of Wang Zhuwei, the legitimate daughter married into the Shanyin Liu Family, and also the biological nephew of Ancestor Longyan, with whom he has always had a close relationship. Naturally, he would not miss this event.

Additionally, Wang Shouzhe’s brother-in-law Liua Yuanhui and brother-in-law Liua Yuanrui also arrived.

A few years back, Liua Yuanhui already took over the clan leader position from his father, and now at forty-three, he is already a strong man at the peak of the second level of the Spirit Platform Realm. For this visit, he particularly brought along his eldest legitimate son to broaden his horizons.

His brother-in-law Liua Yuanrui also married a few years back, marrying the legitimate daughter of the City Guardian Mansion’s Chief Clerk. Now over thirty, he formally entered the officialdom, making a name for himself in the City Guard Mansion, and can be considered a local figure.

This time, he also brought his wife and children along.

But Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but wonder if it was just his illusion, feeling that Liua Yuanrui’s wife seemed somewhat domineering, seemingly keeping his younger brother in strict check.

Moreover, the brothers Liua Yuanshan and Liua Yuanqiang, whom Wang Shouzhe had interacted with during his great marriage, also came.

Back then, Liua Yuanshan was unmarried at over forty. Now, nearing sixty, he remains unmarried, yet his strength has steadily risen, and he is already in the Spirit Platform Realm. His archery skills have become increasingly miraculous, and Wang Shouzhe fears that he might not be a match for him now.

As for Liua Yuanqiang, he looks largely unchanged from before. At eighteen, he was tall and strong, brimming with muscles, looking much older than his age. Now, in his thirties, he still has that simple and honest appearance, seemingly not appearing to be over thirty.

His physique has grown much stronger than before, almost reaching the Spirit Platform Realm, suggesting he has been quite diligent over the years.

After the Shanyin Liu Family, comes the East Port Chen Family.

The East Port Chen Family is not far from the Wang Family, but since Wang Luoyi seldom returns to her maternal home and plans to stay longer, they have prepared a bit more, causing them to be delayed.
