Chapter 316: Chapter 59 Xunfeng Wind Element Bloodline and My Dominant Sister_2
Now the Wang family has grown, and many clan members have the ability to stand on their own. Most of the time, he only needs to focus on the big picture and strategically plan.
The Cloud Mist Spirit Tea from his wife’s family is especially suitable for enjoying during this hot summer, its sweetness quenches thirst and calms the spirit.
Stealing half a day’s leisure in this fleeting life.
The days are still quite pleasant.
Suddenly!
Qiao’Er came running in a hurry: "Patriarch, something terrible has happened."
"What has you so flustered?" Wang Shouzhe slightly frowned and replied calmly, "First, calm down and collect yourself; nothing is unresolvable."
"It’s just that..." Qiao’Er took a breath and calmed herself, "Miss Liyao burned Elder Master Wang’s beard in the clan academy. She also gathered a group of classmates and trapped the elder in the office, claiming that if today she doesn’t make things clear, she’ll write her surname backward. The teachers in the academy can’t handle it and request your quick presence..."
"I... writing her surname backward, it’s still not... wait!"
Then Wang Shouzhe realized and suddenly leapt up, rushing over quickly.
But halfway through, he turned back, pulling Qiao’Er aside to whisper: "Make sure not to let my wife know about this."
Qiao’Er hurriedly nodded, her cheeks slightly red, thinking, Patriarch, you pulled me over here so fiercely; I thought you intended something else.
Then Wang Shouzhe dashed out again.
Even Wang Shouzhe, faced with such a situation, felt a bit overwhelmed yet found it amusing.
Who knew at this stage of life, he could still experience being called in as a parent. His precious daughter truly keeps him on his toes.
Wang Shouzhe arrived at the backyard dock.
He jumped onto a small boat, which looked quite peculiar with no oars or paddles, nor even a rail. It was more like a water snowboard, very nimble.
Profound Qi surged through his feet, propelling the lightweight, sharp boat like an arrow off the string.
As a Spirit Platform Realm Cultivator, he could temporarily hover and glide, easily darting over a hundred feet. But attempting to fly directly across Zhuwei Lake was unrealistic.
Alternatively, he could tread water with swift, dragonfly-like skips, though it would be quite an ordeal.
Thus, he modeled this small boat after a water snowboard. Powered by Profound Qi, it was swift, effortlessly stylish, and fun.
With his hands behind his back, he tilted slightly as if snowboarding, resembling a Sword Immortal gliding on a Flying Sword, a slight shift sending a spray of water.
Unfortunately, this water-gliding boat could only be handled by those at the Spirit Platform Realm. Normal Qi Refining practitioners would quickly deplete their Profound Qi.
Soon, he saw a large complex of buildings on the opposite shore.
It was the first, second, and third phases of Zhuwei Mansion, developed extensively by Wang Shouzhe.
This massive project, filling in marshland from Zhuwei Lake’s dredged silt, laid a solid financial foundation for Wang Shouzhe in the early days.
In a sense, this marked the starting point of the Wang family’s rise to wealth.
Today, Zhuwei Mansion is no longer the desolate marshland it once was.
The gathering of many houses, farmlands, and people first led to the emergence of a small market here.
Then Wang Shouzhe ramped up investment, developing numerous business outlets, forming a bustling commercial center. Even affluent households from other towns and Changning Guard purchased many properties here, seeing it as a long-term investment.
Later on,
Wang Shouzhe simply built a new Wang Clan Academy here.
The new academy was large; even the currently developed section could accommodate over a thousand teachers and students.
The earliest Wang Clan Academy only taught and cultivated Wang family descendants and some excellent peripheral lineage offspring.
But now, as long as they are residents of Ping’an Town, whether tenant farmers, civilians, artisan families, or unranked Black Tortoise Race, they can apply to study at Wang Clan Academy under certain conditions.
Soon, Wang Shouzhe arrived on the opposite lake shore.
Over there, a long protective embankment and landscape belt were established, allowing tourists to enjoy the lake view. A small dock accommodated several boats for lake tours and sightseeing.
Wang Shouzhe’s small boat sent a spray of water as it stylishly docked, catching the attention of many nearby.
At the dockside.
A giant turtle also raised its enormous head, blinking at Wang Shouzhe. It wondered why its master, with whom it had a bloodline contract, was coming in such a hurry.
Indeed, this giant, highly spiritual turtle was the Wang family’s House Guardian Spirit Beast, the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle.
Nowadays, it’s a beautiful sight and mascot at Zhuwei Lake, boosting the prestige and property prices as an Auspicious Beast.
Of course, its primary task now is to daily transport Miss Wang Liyao and Young Master Wang Zong’an to and from school.
Wang Shouzhe mandated that all Wang family descendants attend the clan academy unless there were special reasons.
This included his own children.
Wang Shouzhe believed that socializing with peers and learning systematically in school would offer children a wholesome life, promoting mental and physical health.
At present.
Wang Shouzhe didn’t have time to pay attention to the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle. He jumped ashore and hurried towards the academy.
The Ping’an Wang Clan Academy was built by the water.
In theory, it could already be considered Ping’an Academy.
However, Wang Shouzhe still used the name Wang Clan Academy because the children nurtured here are meant to build talents for the whole Ping’an Town, becoming cornerstones and pillars of society going forward.
Ping’an Wang wasn’t a charity. Every child attending the academy needed a guarantor and required parents to sign a contract.
All Wang Shouzhe’s efforts ultimately aimed to strengthen Ping’an Wang and make Ping’an Town even more robust.
The Wang Clan Academy, planned to cover over a hundred acres, currently only used twenty percent of its area.
But the number of students, ranging across ages, already exceeded five hundred, preparations for the Wang family’s future.
Talents aren’t confined to top-tier combat prowess; they manifest in all aspects of the Wang family.
In Wang Shouzhe’s vision for the future grand layout of the Wang family, the need for talent is always pressing.
Wang Shouzhe quickly arrived at the clan academy he dedicated much effort to constructing.
A female teacher was already waiting at the academy gate, hurrying up to meet him as soon as she saw Wang Shouzhe: "Director, you’re finally here, please, hurry and persuade Miss Liyao. She said if the elder doesn’t come forward to apologize, she’ll burn down the entire academy."
Wang Shouzhe nearly fainted from anger. Wang Liyao, oh Wang Liyao, does your father find it easy to painstakingly build up family assets to establish the academy? What did it do to wrong you to reach for a torch?
Isn’t this a pitfall for your old man?
He quickly followed the female teacher inside.
That female teacher, in her thirties, was quite graceful, exuding rare intellectual beauty. Among women, she was a rare cultured teacher, open-minded, and was hired by Wang Shouzhe at a hefty price.
After all, with the academy’s growth and the increasing number of female students, having more female teachers was highly necessary.
Soon, Wang Shouzhe witnessed the scene.
Gathered in front of the newly built teaching building, constructed at a significant expense, were students of various ages, mostly girls. They clustered around an eight or nine-year-old girl, beautifully carved like jade.
The little girl, with a cold and composed expression, stood there exuding a domineering aura, like a ruler of the world.
Beside her was a five or six-year-old boy, almost on the verge of tears, shivering. Sister, can’t we tone it down?
If mother finds out, we’re bound to receive a severe punishment.
The key issue is whenever sister causes trouble, he also gets caught up in it, and then mother punishes him even harder!
Having such a sister is a misfortune!
