Chapter 232: 23 - Careful With Your Words! Who Doesn't Have A Few Poor Relatives? (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_1
Since the guest insisted.
Wang Shouzhe also couldn’t reject him directly, so he had to show a friendly face and say, “Licui, please thank your Uncle Shouyue.”
“Thank you, Uncle Shouyue, you’re such a good person.” Wang Licui gave a naive smile, then excitedly sat down, her mouth watering as she waited for the food to be served.
Wang Shouyue’s heart was filled with comfort, because of the sweet sounding “Uncle”.
This innocent and naive girl seemed to bring him abundant positive energy, which made his traumatized heart feel as if it was being nurtured by a warm current.
Reassuring!
Indeed, dealing with the weak is stress-free and pleasing.
Wang Xiaozheng, sitting on the side, didn’t pay much attention to Wang Licui’s cultivation base, as the girl still wore the high-level Restrain Breath Jade.
As for the reason Wang Xiaozheng couldn’t discern Wang Shouzhe’s cultivation, he too was wearing the Restrain Breath Jade, and this unintentionally intimidated them for a bit.
However, Wang Xiaozheng seemed to be just at the early stage of the Spiritual Platform Realm, having obviously given up on the path to becoming a Celestial Being.
Presumably, he’s not a match for Wang Shouzhe.
As for Wang Xiaozheng, he began to reconsider even before they entered. Originally, the gift given on behalf of the Old Ancestor Zhou, was merely worth two thousand Qian Gold.
The remaining seven or eight thousand Qian Gold worth of gifts, were intended to be given to the local prominent individuals, Young Master Chen Shi and Young Master Dantai.
However, now it seems.
This now two thousand Qian Gold gift seems like it has come to slap him in the face.
Grinding his teeth,
Wang Xiaozheng took advantage of his excuse to go to the restroom to alter the gift list. Now he, with a broad smile, presented the updated list: “Master Shouzhe, this is what the Old Ancestor Zhou has asked me to bring for you. There’s not much, please don’t laugh, and don’t laugh.”
Showing perfect etiquette, Wang Shouzhe received the gifts with both hands. After taking a glimpse of the list his face broke into a smile: “Wang Family of Longzuo really lives up to the status of a Celestial family. Giving out gifts so generously. This gift… Isn’t it worth around five thousand Qian Gold?”
Five thousand Qian Gold?
Accompanying young people, Wang Shouye, Wang Zongwei, and Wang Luotong, were all surprised. They hadn’t expected the Wangs of Longzuo to be so generous and bring a gift as valuable as five thousand Qian Gold.
This was far beyond what they had anticipated.
Wang Shouyue also hesitated, originally it was supposed to be two thousand, right? Oh right, it must have been Third Grandfather who saw the situation and immediately added another three thousand.
This additional three thousand Qian Gold were well added, splendidly added. This showcases the power of my Wang’s of Longzuo.
His heavily injured ego had suddenly come back to life, seemingly allowing him to express himself while looking elated. Even his expression became radiant.
Just look at the expression of these young boys and girls, they all seemed astonished.
Immediately,
Wang Shouyue, with a smile, paid his respects to Wang Shouzhe: “Fourth Brother Shouzhe, our two families are branches of the same tree and should watch out for each other. This rushed gift of a mere five thousand Qian Gold worth of resources is nothing.”
“Uh… it seems it’s indeed not that much.” Off to the side, Wang Licui honestly mumbled to herself.
In her perspective, if she could convert this five thousand Qian Gold into third-level spirit meat and eat it entirely on her own, she probably wouldn’t be able to finish it in several days.
To come all this way just to give five thousand Qian Gold worth of resources…
With that time, they could have formed a team to go hunt a third-level Fierce Beast in the Outlands.
Wang Shouyue’s smile immediately froze on his face…
As soon as Wang Licui’s words came out, she got fiercely glared at by Wang Shouzhe: “If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll forbid you from eating spirit food for six months.”
“Yes.” Wang Shouye, the “senior”, also seriously advised Wang Licui, “Little girl, you’re still too young to know what it means to ‘give a gift that light in weight but heavy with affection.’
What the heck, a gift that’s light in weight but heavy with affection!
Wang Shouyue’s frozen smile twitched a few times. What kind of admonishment was that?
“Enough.” The only “ancestor” present, Old Ancestor Xiaohan, serious face spoke up, “What do you few youngsters know? Even for a Celestial household, there isn’t much left after one year’s expenses. Don’t ever say: a sated man does not know how a starving man feels.”
Uh..
What is this sated man… and a starving man?
At these words,
Not to mention Wang Shouyue, even Wang Xiaozheng’s face turned red in embarrassment.
“Alright, alright.” Wang Luotong couldn’t help but smile and think what a group of tribesfolk they were, with such low emotional intelligence. To mediate, she said, “Everyone pay attention to your words, okay? Which family doesn’t have a few poor relatives?”
The two guests from Longzuo wanted to hide under the table.
“…” Wang Shouzhe felt cold sweat. These people should not have been allowed to accompany this meal. If they kept talking, the guests probably would lose all appetite.
As the Clan Leader, he had no choice but to say, “That’s enough with the jokes, serve the food.”
Following Wang Shouzhe’s order,
Xiao Si and the maids placed the prepared spirit food and spiritual wine on the table one by one. The food mainly was some good quality spirit meat and spirit fish from Peace River and the Outer Realms. Treated with the flash-freeze method, the food was considered very fresh.
The bowls and plates used were all of top-quality porcelain. But the glasses for drinking and some special bowls were the traditionally used high-grade glass products, the maids’ customary preference.
“This…” Wang Shouyue’s eyes glinted, he lifted a crystal-clear glass and said, “Is this an upper-rank foreign glass cup? Even the top-rank isn’t this clear, is this perhaps the legendary top quality foreign glass? Fourth Brother Shouzhe is truly bold.”
“If Shouyue likes them, take a set with you when you leave, Old Ancestor Xiaozheng can also take a set.” Wang Shouzhe said smiling, making people feel like they’re bathed in a spring breeze.
“Fourth Brother Shouzhe is really generous, this set in County Town could be sold for two or three hundred Qian Gold.” At this point, Wang Shouyue also no longer wanted to compete for superiority.
