Upon the beautiful Dong Cha Cha Lake, a splendidly designed pleasure boat swayed.
This was none other than the famed Tian Yan Boat.
Within the spacious loft of the pleasure boat.
A group of young people, elegantly dressed and refined, sipped fine wines, listened to elegant music, and told exaggerated tales.
"The story goes, on a dark and stormy night..." The Little Commandery Prince, Wu Jinghao, spoke with dramatic flair, "That insane Zuo Qiu Qingyun used the despicable method of poisoning…"
A quarter of an hour later.
"I, Little Commandery Prince, Wu Jinghao, fought that villain for three hundred rounds!"
A quarter of an hour later.
"Unexpectedly, that villain cheated ..."
A quarter of an hour later.
"Although that villain hurled all kinds of abuse at me, I remained unmoved ... Of course, Shihai’s performance was slightly less impressive than mine, but overall, it was acceptable."
"The Little Commandery Prince is mighty; the Little Commandery Prince is powerful."
A dozen or so young masters all praised the Little Commandery Prince in different ways.
"Little Commandery Prince, do tell us more about Immortal Cao Youqing. Is she really as formidable as rumored?"
"Immortal Youqing, ah, even though she exhausted all methods to hide her origins, my sharp eyes pierced through her disguise..."
"Little Commandery Prince, I heard that your father was put under house arrest?"
"Of course, just a few days ago, Master Yaoguang from Qing’an College personally visited our Southern Desert County Town. In front of the Prefectural Governor, my father, and the Zuo Qiu family’s Old Ancestor, I displayed the Sky Mechanism Recording Disk. Alas, you cannot imagine the scene.
"Master Yaoguang first saw the earlier part of the recording where Zuo Qiu Qingyun was all arrogant. Subsequently, he saw the later part where his younger day’s recklessness still hadn’t faded, this led to him furiously crushing the Sky Mechanism Recording Disk."
"My father was reprimanded by my mother and put under house arrest."
"There is one more thing you wouldn’t guess. The Zuo Qiu family has a mansion named ’Qian Garden’ in Southern Desert County. After the incident involving Zuo Qiu Qingyun, the Prefecture Mansion sealed and searched it. Guess what they found in the secret room? Unthinkably scandalous evidence!!"
"Thank goodness Shihai and I had already discovered that Zuo Qiu Qingyun was a rotten lot."

"The Little Commandery Prince and Shihai have truly accomplished a great merit this time. It’s said that the Prefectural Governor rewarded them greatly. The Commandery Prince Consort of the Southern Desert even awarded the Little Commandery Prince one million Qian Gold."
The Little Commandery Prince beamed with pride and announced, "Everyone, eat and drink as you wish, it’s all on me! Tian Yan, play us another song~"
The Fairy Tian Yan seated beside them, smiled sweetly, but her face beneath the veil seemed a bit rigid. These cheeky devils, boasting without end.
If not for the memory of them stepping up to play the hero in the past, Fairy Tian Yan might just kick them all into the river.
Even Wang Shouzhe sat to one side, chuckling as he watched the scene and occasionally enjoyed a sip of his wine, seemingly in good spirits. These unruly and carefree young people reminded him of his own lost youth.
He didn’t despise the Little Commandery Prince and Wang Shihai. Compared to the malice hidden deep within Zuo Qiu Qingyun’s core, these young people were somewhat naïvely endearing.
"Are you satisfied now?" Fairy Tian Yan gave him a glance before transmitting her voice, "You masterminded everything, eliminated all risks while severing ties with me."
"Fairy mustn’t spout nonsense." Wang Shouzhe replied with a smile, "I had no part in this affair. The Little Commandery Prince and others can testify, it was the Sky Pride, Cao Youqing’s doing."
"Cao Youqing, huh~" Fairy Tian Yan muttered with a belly full of complaints she couldn’t voice.
...
Several days later.
Wang Shouzhe bid farewell to the family of the Southern Desert and embarked on the journey home.
The Southern Desert Wang Clan also announced that they would soon send young members and elders to visit the Wang Clan and Changning Wang Clan in Longzuo.
However, Wang Shihai was somewhat impatient and left with Wang Shouzhe in advance.
Although this journey to the Southern Desert exhausted two to three months of Wang Shouzhe’s time, the gains were substantial. The "Ultimate Treasure Pill" allowed Wang Shouzhe to successfully advance to a Great Heavenly Proud.
In addition, the relationship with the Southern Desert Wang Clan also warmed significantly. There were many other small gains as well.
As for the journey home, let’s not dwell on it for now.
Today’s Wang Clan is no longer the weak Clan of the past. Even if Wang Shouzhe, the Clan Leader, wasn’t home for a short time, the Clan would continue to develop smoothly along its normal track.
Changning Guard, Ping’an Town.
By Zhuwei Lake.
As June drew near, the weather became increasingly hot. The filling of grains in the wheat was finished, and bunches after bunches of golden, full, heavy wheat spikes hung in the wheat fields by the lake, a scene of bountiful harvest was laid out.
On the embankment of the lake, shirtless tenant farmers were opening the sluice gates to let the water flow, using the water system built by the Wang family to draw lake water into the trenches for irrigating the wheat fields.
On the wide cement road, women were carrying baskets, leading their children through, sending food to their men in the fields.
Glittering waves adorned the surface of the lake. From time to time, fishing boats skimmed across the lake, creating ripples across the water. Across the lake, one could glimpse the silhouette of Zhuwei Manor.
Occasionally, the head of household with a team of house servants would pass by the lake on patrol. These house servants were all dressed in uniform, equipped with knives at their waists. They looked lively and disciplined, giving a strong sense of security at just a glance.
