Chapter 303: Chapter 53 Picking up the Leak! Wang Family’s Future Development Plan_1

…

While they have been chatting, the flying carriage slowly descended outside the east gate of Changning Weicheng.

“Tweet~”

The Zhu Topecrane flapped its wings and gracefully landed on the yellow mud, tilting its head to emit a soft cry.

The previously chattering carriage suddenly fell silent, and the three core disciples, including Ji Mingyu, subconsciously adjusted their clothes and displayed their best demeanor.

“Let’s go~”

Fang Youan was the first to step out of the carriage.

It was a cloudy day, and the light outside the city was not good, but the appearance of these four still brought a sparkle to people’s eyes.

Whether it was their appearance or temperament, all four of them were extraordinary. Particularly, their proud stance and spirit easily won over others.

Without question, each of them was a Sky Pride.

Especially Fang Youan, who was at the front, his temperament was one of a kind, showing a detached demeanor. He stood out among the crowd like a crane standing among chickens, even more outreaching in demeanor than the City Lord who was also a Heavenly Human.

Many noble family heads couldn’t help but feel a touch of admiration and envy, spontaneously thinking, “If only our family could produce such a Sky Pride.”

Even the heads of the Heavenly Human clans, Huangfu Jinhuan of the Huangfu Clan and the head of the Lei Family, were no exception.

Could it really be them?

In the crowd, Wang Shouzhe raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

He had also thought about who would be the direct disciple from the Academic Palace this time, but he didn’t expect it to be Fang Youan and his group.

However, thinking about it, it also made sense.

There weren’t many idle direct disciples in the Purple Abode Academic Palace. It was quite reasonable for Fang Youan to bring some junior brothers and sisters for a large-task mission.

As he was pondering this,

City Lord Xiahou Hongde had already stepped forward with a smile plastered all over his face, cupping his hands in salute: “You must be the Sky Prides of the Purple Abode Academic Palace, right? I am Xiahou Hongde, the Changning City Lord. I greet the gifted of the Academic Palace. Please forgive my failure to welcome you properly.”

Having said that, he also took out his identity token for verification.

Fang Youan also followed the rules, scanning the identity token with his spiritual sense. After confirming the other person’s identity, he politely returned the salute: “City Lord, you are too kind. I am Fang Youan from the Mysterious Ice Palace of the Purple Abode Academic Palace, leading my junior brothers and sisters to assist in handling the disaster situation around Changning Guard.”

While he spoke, he also took out his token and the appointment letters jointly issued by the Purple Abode Academic Palace and the Prefecture Mansion.

Xiahou Hongde didn’t dare to be slack; he carefully checked the token and the appointment letters as per the rules.

After making sure there was no problem, he bowed even more respectfully: “I pay respects to the Inspector-General, and to the Inspection Officials.”

Whether it was the appointment position of the visitors or their identity as direct disciples of the Academic Palace, he absolutely couldn’t afford to treat them carelessly.

Let aside Fang Youan, the Inspector-General, who was in his youth, and had an unfathomable cultivation base. Behind him stood someone from the Mysterious Ice Palace, who was not to be provoked among those from the Purple Abode of the Academic Palace.

Moreover, he had heard that the disciples of the Mysterious Ice Palace in the Purple Abode Academic Palace each had a very strong combat capability, and each core disciple was an extraordinary warrior, let alone a Heavenly Human direct disciple. How could he underestimate him?

“City Lord, you are too kind. You are my senior, just call me Youan,” said Fang Youan, who had a genial demeanor – a rarity among the Mysterious Ice Palace.

“I dare not. Inspector-General Youan,” Xiahou Hongde said after exchanging a few polite words, “Let me introduce you to the clan leaders of Changning Weicheng.”

As soon as he finished his sentence,

The Clan Leaders of the Celestial Lei Family and Celestial Huangfu Family, who had been waiting for half a day, immediately came forward with smiles all over their faces, followed by other clan leaders.

The arrival of a figure of the level of a direct disciple of the Purple Abode Academic Palace was a rare event in Changning Weicheng. If they were lucky enough to establish a connection and find good karma, it would only benefit their clans.

As for Wang Shouzhe, his reaction was a bit slower, so he was last in line.

His allies through marriage were also not particularly enthusiastic. After all, they had recently seen quite a lot with Wang Shouzhe. Even though the position of a direct disciple of the Academic Palace was noble, it was not so easy to get close to them. It was most practical to hold firmly onto Shouzhe’s thigh.

“Inspector-General Youan, Inspection Officials, these are Clan Leader Lei Qiuwei of the Celestial Lei Family, and Huangfu Jinhuan of the Celestial Huangfu Family.”

According to the rules, Xiahou Hongde introduced the two Heavenly Human Clans first.

Lei Qiuwei and Huangfu Jinhuan immediately greeted with smiles on their faces: “We greet the Inspector-General and the Inspection Officials.”

Fang Youan wasn’t one of those people who were out of touch with reality. He knew that when working locally, he needed to rely on the local powers, of course, he wouldn’t superciliously snub them.

He was just about to return the gesture and introduce his junior brothers and sisters when,

Suddenly,

Senior Brother Yang cried out, “Isn’t that Junior Brother Shouzhe?”

Junior Brother Shouzhe?

As soon as his words came out, all eyes were drawn to him.

Fang Youan also noticed Wang Shouzhe in the back of the crowd.

He was slightly startled, and somewhat delighted. He immediately bowed to Lei Qiuwei and Huangfu Jinhuan, apologizing, “Excuse me, gentlemen. I’ve just spotted an acquaintance. I’ll need to greet him first.”
