Chapter 312: 57: Holding One's Head High and Breathing Proudly! Elder Sister-in-Law Visits Her Family in Fine Clothes_3
Not only was Xu Anming, the old master, riddled with doubts, but even brothers Xu Zhenxing and Xu Zhenye maintained a calm exterior while their hearts churned with waves of emotion.
All along, they had never thought highly of Wang Shouxin, yet unexpectedly, Wang Shouxin’s potential proved to be so abundant that he now seemed to be surpassing them.
Xu Chunyun’s three sisters-in-law had evidently also made a special effort to look their best today, yet compared to Xu Chunyun, they somehow faded in comparison.
Just look at her outfit, the latest model of aqua blue long dress made from Ice Spirit Silkworm silk, her entire body adorned with Aqua Blue Ice Type Jewelry. Her complexion was also pale with a hint of rosy, her vitality flourishing, obviously living a life of pampered luxury befitting that of a noble lady.
If not for prior knowledge, one might think it was a legitimate daughter of the Changning Xu Family who had come back to visit her relatives~
With smiles plastered on their full faces, they engaged Xu Chunyun in idle chatter about family matters, yet their eyes covertly glanced towards their own husbands.
Just look at our sister’s attire, then look at ours, isn’t it embarrassing? Could it be that the prestigious Changning Xu Family is so far inferior to the Ping’an Wang family?
Bitterness filled the hearts of brothers Xu Zhenxing and Xu Zhenye.
Well, now there’s trouble.
If you were to purchase a full set of that attire Chunyun’s sister is wearing, it would not come cheap, costing at least a few thousand Qian Gold. With spare money like that, of course, one would prioritize providing for their children’s cultivation needs. How could they be so wasteful?
The two brothers quickly diverted their attention and picked up the only two or three years old Wang Shin.
This child was the son of Wang Zongwei and the first member of the ninth generation of the “Shin” generation in the Ping’an Wang family.
As a result, the conversation naturally shifted to the younger generation.
“Zongwei was a bit unruly when he was younger,” said Xu Zhenxing as the elder uncle, “But in recent years, he has managed to settle down and work steadily. Right, I remember his wife is from the direct vessel of the Gongsun Clan, isn’t she?”
Upon the mention of her eldest son, a touch of pride appeared on Xu Chunyun’s face: “Zongwei was a bit frivolous in his youth. Fortunate that his Fourth Uncle personally took him in hand and set him on the right path.”
“Now the boy is making a name for himself in the Eastern Sea Fort, taking charge of quite a bit. His wife was personally matched by Madam Gongsun. That child is smart and capable, just right for taming that little rascal.”
“Auntie, you really have good fortune,” the second sister-in-law, Party Clan, smiled, “but our Younian is not too shabby either. He’s not even thirty yet and has already reached the peak of Level Seven in the Vital Energy Refining Realm, even getting praise from the family’s old ancestor a few times.”
Once her son, Xu Younian, was mentioned, Party Clan’s eyes inevitably revealed a trace of pride.
Eldest sister-in-law of Lei Clan, on the other hand, had a somewhat unnatural look in her eyes. Apparently, her side of the family couldn’t bring out a child to match up to Xu Younian.
“I didn’t expect Younian to be doing so well~” Xu Chunyun said with a delighted laugh, as if casually mentioning, “Speaking of which, our Zongchang has also been very busy these years and hasn’t come back to visit everyone.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the face of second brother Xu Zhenye immediately turned awkward.
He turned to Party Clan with a stern face and said, “You, as a woman of the household, are too ill-informed. Our Zongchang is only twenty-two, but he’s already a well-known young expert, far more promising than Younian~”
Older brother Xu Zhenxing hesitated for a moment before asking, “Sister, I heard that Lici went for exams at the Purple Abode Academic Palace, do you know if she passed?”
An exam at the Purple Abode Academic Palace?
The crowd, unaware of this matter, suddenly paid close attention.
Having the qualifications to take the exam at the Purple Abode Academic Palace was already considered a mark of talent; passing it meant that even as an Ordinary Disciple, one’s future as a Spiritual Platform Realm cultivator was assured.
As for her daughter Wang Licui, Xu Chunyun was not overly attentive, and Wang Licui’s true cultivation base was kept a secret, even her own mother was not very clear about it.
Xu Chunyun thought for a moment and said, “These are all arranged by Uncle Shouxin. Lici stayed in the Academic Palace after the exam, so she must have passed.”
Upon hearing this, the Xu family members were immediately thrilled, visibly sharing in the glory.
In private, they might be envious or jealous, but if Wang Licui could become a Spiritual Platform Realm cultivator, then they, as her uncles and aunts, would rise to heaven on the coattails of her success.
Talking about it would not only bring them face but also substantial benefits!
Perhaps in the future, Licui would be the mainstay of their entire family~
“Very well~” Xu Anming was also moved to tears, overwhelmed with relief, “Licui’s admission to the Academic Palace assures her future in the Spiritual Platform Realm. I never expected to have a Spiritual Platform Realm member among my grandchildren!”
Wang Shouxin watched silently.
Xu Chunyun wasn’t too concerned about her daughter’s affairs, and with the daughter deliberately concealing information, the mother naturally was unclear about the truth—but he knew it very clearly.
His daughter, Wang Licui, was not a future Spiritual Platform Realm cultivator, but one who had already achieved it.
Moreover, he heard from Shouxin that Licui had taken a remarkable master, suggesting a very promising future for her.
Wang Shouxin thought to himself that Licui must have taken a Celestial being as her master, no wonder Shouxin insisted on keeping it a secret. If word of it got out, it would likely cause quite a stir.
Watching Xu Chunyun displaying a victorious smile, as if she couldn’t wait for the whole world to know of her children’s excellence, he felt a pang of embarrassment.
Let it be, let her continue to be in the dark then~
It’s just a pity that even Wang Shouxin himself was kept in the dark. Wang Licui’s master wasn’t just a Celestial being but the esteemed Vice Dean of Purple Abode, a high-ranking figure among the masters.
While everyone was lavishing unending praise on Wang Licui,
Suddenly, an authoritative and cheerful voice came from outside: “Third Brother, I heard Chunyun and Shouxin have arrived. Why didn’t you tell me about this?”
That voice…
xu Chunyun, her brother-in-law, and their father were all stunned in place.
Could that be the voice of Family Head Xu Anbang?
Since when did their Changning Xu Family start notifying the Family Head when a direct vessel junior came back for a visit?
If that was the case for everyone, wouldn’t the Family Head be overwhelmed to death?
…
