It left Elder Xuangfu in a state of disbelief. How could one be injured while simply advancing to the Spirit Platform Realm?

Could it be an injury to his Spiritual Platform?

This was a serious matter. She had to go see him.

But Elder Longyan forcibly dragged her away.

An hour later, it was heard from Wang Shouzhe’s cave of secluded cultivation, his pitiful cries resonating, “Ruolan, why have your eyes changed color?”

“You said you wouldn’t mess around.”

“I didn’t mess around. I just became too powerful too quickly. My hand movements are out of control.”

“Hmph! To hell with you!”

“I was wrong…”

Then, sounds of intense combat echoed from within.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The energy fluctuation was so intense, it seemed like the entire mountain was trembling.

In between, some eerie, uncanny yells could be heard.

“Something’s wrong.” Elder Xuangfu’s expression changed. She prepared to investigate.

But once again, she was stopped by Elder Longyan: “Don’t get too involved in the young ones’ affairs.”

At the same time, she couldn’t help but lament inwardly how fast the world was changing—young people these days sure knew how to have fun.

Elder Xuangfu’s eyes showed her uncertainty. The sounds and commotion seemed a bit too frightening—wouldn’t it be really all right if she didn’t check it out?

“Shall we wait until Shouzhe begs for mercy before we take a look?” Elder Longyan suggested uncertainly.

“Um… It seems like he’s already begging for mercy,” Elder Xuangfu said weakly.

“Then let’s wait until he cries out for help… And then we’ll check.”

“Um… It seems like he’s already crying for help.”

Following which, the two elders exchanged looks before rushing in.

And then, they both rushed out just as quickly.

Each of their beautiful faces under their veils was flushed. The youngsters of today surely had no sense of shame!

…

What exactly happened that night?

Besides the silence of those involved, no one else knew about the incident.

Several days later.

The troops began to retreat from the valley.

“Third Brother.” Wang Shouzhe greeted a young man in the Vine Array, “For this first year, I entrust you with the guard duties. Take this time to improve your cultivation skills, and strive to step into the Spirit Platform Realm as soon as possible.”

“Fourth Brother.” Wang Shounuo responded distressingly, “The welfare of my family will be in your hands.”

He never dreamed that he would be assigned to guard duty here for a year just because he wanted to go out and try cultivating. Indeed, life was full of uncertainties.

But at least he could earn a high number of Valor Points throughout the year, and the large army also left many resources for him.

Staying here wholeheartedly to cultivate could indeed enhance his cultivation base. It just seems a bit too monotonous.

After arranging the concealment work for the forested trails and selecting candidates for guarding it,

He wasn’t idle.

Depending on his strong forces and multiple elders, he harvested a lot in the vicinity of the trial ground, gaining plenty of beast meat and Heaven and Earth Treasures.

Meanwhile, Wang Shouzhe also began to secretly cultivate the Bloodthirsty Vines.

Not long after he emptied the vicinity of the trial grounds,

He met with Elder Xiaohan of the Wang family and the others returning from the autumn and winter hunts, and they all returned to Ping’an together.

Why was the autumn and winter hunting team led by Elder Xiaohan here? Of course, it was arranged by Wang Shouzhe. Having these two trials together was naturally more beneficial for the clan.

After returning to Ping’an.

Whoever needed to take a share of the meat, took it.

The Heaven and Earth Treasures obtained during the attack were also divided fairly according to each family’s contribution.

With these, the trial trip concluded successfully. Each family reaped some benefits and did not return empty-handed.

The only surprise was,

Elder Xuangfu and his little aunt Liu Ruolei did not return to the Liu family after the trials. Instead, they stayed behind the Wang family all day, eating, drinking, and lodging. They said that it was already October and they would only return to the Academic Palace after the New Year.

Elder Xuangfu claimed that she and her cousin Longyan had not spent the New Year together in a long time, so she naturally took residence at the Wang family.

Meanwhile, Wang Shouzhe had started staying at home to earnestly research his Bloodthirsty Vines, familiarising himself with the Guardian Heart Spirit Shield and the Zhou Xuan Sword.

Plus, he was trying to adapt to his bloodline that had already reached the Third Level.

He was still adapting from ordinary seeds, aiming to improve his spirit seed eventually.

Other than that, he spent his days amusing his lovely children. Time flew by quickly, and half a month had passed in a blink of an eye.

One day,

While Wang Shouzhe was accompanying his children for studying, he received a summon from the mansion’s gatekeeper that Zhong Xingwang from the Heavenly Man Zhong Clan had come for a visit.

Wang Shouzhe had considerable respect for Brother Zhong Xingwang.

After all, he was of great help to his family during dire times.

Though Zhong Xingwang had an unrequited love for Elder Longyan and often found excuses to stay at the Wang family for a while, his sincere assistance to the Wang family couldn’t be erased.

Therefore, Wang Shouzhe personally attended to Zhong Xingwang, offering him the best tea and cakes, without showing any neglect towards him.

“Brother Shouzhe.” Zhong Xingwang said, laughing as he drank the spiritual tea and ate the cakes, “I am glad to fulfill my duty. According to your request, I have redeemed Elder Longyan’s Turtle Scale Treasure Shield. Also, the three Advanced Restrain Breath Jades that you tasked me to find are now in my hands.”

“Elder Zhong, I am eternally grateful.” Wang Shouzhe got up to salute, expressing his words solemnly, “I will always remember your kindness. If there comes a day where you need assistance, I will surely not back down.”

Zhong Xingwang also quickly stood up to return the courtesy, “You’re too kind, Shouzhe. We’re brothers. Let’s not be formal.”
