Protect Our Chief

...

"Daddy, yay... yay, congratulations on your bloodline advancing to Sacred Body. I want a reward, yay~~" Wang Lixian, who reached Tier Seven, could now speak, and her sweet voice still carried a bit of childishness.

Even though she reached Tier Seven, her maturity wasn’t much different from a five or six-year-old human girl.

"This is all thanks to our Xian’er," Wang Shouzhe said with a kind smile, "Whatever reward you want, Xian’er, Daddy will find a way."

Wang Shouzhe pampered his daughter Wang Lixian immensely, willing to do anything within his ability for her.

"Yay yay yay~~" Wang Lixian became excited upon hearing this, saying, "I’m so tired from studying recently. I want a vacation, yay yay yay~~ half a year off from the Clan Academy, yay yay yay~~~~"

After Wang Lixian reached Tier Seven, Liu Ruolan arranged for her to enter the Clan Academy.

However, considering her main form was a giant Life Tree and she was busy, acting as the core of Spirit Gathering Array to gather Spiritual Qi, while accompanying Wang Shouzhe in cultivation.

Even though her main form could transform to a smaller size, commuting to the Clan Academy daily was not very convenient.

Consequently, Wang Shouzhe specifically had her send out a small sapling-like branch to reside at the Clan Academy for formal education.

This was one of the innate divine abilities of the Life Tree. The branch’s capabilities were significantly weaker than those of the main body, but senses were shared, completely adequate for experiencing the world and learning cultural knowledge.

Nowadays, Wang Family’s academy teachers gradually got used to teaching various little animals, accustomed to Liu Ruolan occasionally sending peculiar species to the academy.

They treated all equally.

Even if she was a tree or a fish, she couldn’t escape the academy teachers’ class questioning, endless exams, and out-of-class assignments, facing the ruthless academic routine of the academy.

If anyone’s academic performance was unsatisfactory, appropriate punishment would still be enforced, doubling homework, or inviting parents for discussions were all on the table.

This was the absolute authority the Wang Family granted to the Clan Academy, regardless of whether it was Wang Clan Elders or Clan Leader couple, they all had to adhere to the rules.

With Wang Lixian being a tree and her mind not fully matured, could one expect her grades to be excellent?

Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan were basically summoned to the academy in turns for criticism by academy teachers, being told to strengthen collaboration between the academy and parents, parents shouldn’t let their children be, as the Clan Leader, he should set an example.

This made Wang Shouzhe feel quite ashamed, he had long wanted an opportunity to grasp Wang Lixian’s studies.

Thus, when Wang Lixian brought up the subject, his face fell: "That is absolutely out of the question, if I promise you this matter, your mother would never forgive me."

Speaking, Wang Shouzhe took out a stack of test papers: "Anyway, our cultivation is temporarily concluded. While we have time, Daddy will tutor you personally, these are all test papers prepared meticulously for you by Daddy."

"Yay yay yay, Daddy, you’re destroying the bridge after crossing it, yay yay~~~" Wang Lixian protested regrettably, waving her branches.

"It’s called burning the bridge after crossing it. Xian’er, oh Xian’er, you have many areas of weakness in your studies."

"Yaya boo boo, I’m still small."

For a moment, the previously harmonious father-daughter scene turned chaotic and disorderly.

This is one of the Wang Family’s daily routines; at no time does the Wang Family relax on children’s academics.

Another half month passed.

Just as the father and daughter’s friction intensified until it nearly severed their bond completely, a piece of bad news arrived at the Wang Family.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Shouzhe immediately set out from Ping’an Town, temporarily entrusting Wang Lixian’s studies to Liu Ruolan. As for whether they might have mother-daughter issues, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t afford to care much at the moment.

One day later.

Hundred Islands Guard, Zhongshan Island.

Zhongshan Island is the principal residence of the Hundred Islands Zhong Family.

In Wang’s development phase, Hundred Islands Zhong Family is a household that cannot be overlooked.

Especially Brother Zhong Xingwang, who helped the Wang Family on multiple occasions, and to the then-weak Wang Family, it was like timely aid.

Additionally, Wang Shouzhe felt grateful for him, and after Wang Family grew, he undertook numerous collaborations with Hundred Islands Zhong Family, allowing Zhong Family to undergo significant development.

Unknowingly, the two households’ connections became increasingly tight.

This time, the bad news came from the Hundred Islands Zhong Family.

The ocean spreading boundlessly.

The sky clear as if freshly washed, with only a few wisps of white cloud drifting with the wind; the sea was notably calm, reflecting the unity of sea and sky, indescribably clear and blue.

Two white-feathered Red-crowned Immortal Cranes flapped their wings, gracefully speeding through the sky. Behind them, they pulled a not insignificantly sized, seemingly spacious Spirit Wood Flying Chariot.

On the flying chariot’s body, in golden patterns was an unmistakable emblem, which belonged to the Changning Wang Family, specifically the exclusive emblem of Patriarch Wang Shouzhe.

With the cranes pulling, this flying chariot swiftly crossed the sky towards Zhongshan Island.

According to conventional flying chariot routes, the chariot should first follow Anjiang to East Port, then follow the coastal route to Hundred Islands Guard.

This is also for the chariot’s safety.

It’s known that while flying over the ocean, the flying chariot fears spontaneous storms, powerful flying fierce beasts, and disorientation the most.
