Protect Our Clan Leader

...

"Uh..."

Listening to the enthusiastic promotion by the artifact spirit Aipan, Wang Shouye was somewhat speechless.

Boots are quite personal, after all. No matter how awesome these [Panpan's Travel Boots] are, he can't possibly wear a pair of women's boots.

Moreover, they have already been worn before.

Fortunately, he's already finished the assessment, so even if someone has to wear them, it won't be him.

"Hand all the rewards over to Wang Ningxi to process," Wang Shouye instructed artifact spirit Aipan briefly, then awkwardly stepped down from the assessment platform.

Even though he successfully completed the family task, his mood was still not very high. After all, it's disheartening for anyone to be deemed the weakest in command and combat prowess in the family's second tier.

"Shouye, well done." Wang Shouzhe gave him a compliment.

"Fourth brother, is my combat capability and command really that weak? I'm a man with Peculiar Fire after all," Wang Shouye said, feeling somewhat dejected.

He actually sensed that several tasks in Hero Mode were challenging to complete. Without the assistance of the Immortal Sword Rainbow Moon, he might genuinely struggle to break the record.

Using an Immortal Sword at the Purple Abode Realm, of course, cannot unleash its full power. Thankfully, the sword itself is very powerful, and simply giving it instructions to automatically fight does the job.

This scenario is somewhat similar to a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator driving a divine spiritual treasure, relying entirely on the treasure's own abilities, easily dealing with an ordinary Heavenly Human Realm cultivator.

And it's the same for a Purple Abode Realm cultivator using an Immortal Sword. Just the automatic fighting of the sword is enough to handle Lord-level demons.

"Shouye, don't worry too much." Wang Shouzhe patted his shoulder, offering comfort. "You're the best in alchemy in the family; leave the warfare and fighting to others in the family."

"..." Wang Shouye sighed deeply in his heart, finally accepting reality.

Having spent so much time in Beizhou, surrounded by endless praise and admiration from those around him, he nearly developed the illusion that his alchemy skills were impressive, along with his combat abilities.

Returning to the Wang family made him realize the reality once again.

"Ahem~ next up is Elder Wang Mei." Wang Ningxi read the next trial member's name from the list.

Wang Mei is indeed a legendary head of the household in the family, whose name many children grew up hearing.

Although she is a head of household, she was born and bred in the Wang family for generations, risking life and limb for the family. Her status is naturally high, and the younger generation respects her greatly.

However, despite the reverence, so far, no one knows what Wang Mei looks like.

"Hmm? Elder Wang Mei is here too?"

After hearing Wang Ningxi's words, the family members started discussing and began looking around for her figure.

Even though they've been at the training academy for quite a while, most people aren't aware Wang Mei is also present.

It shows just how shockingly low Wang Mei's presence has become.

"Elder Wang Mei?"

Seeing that no one was coming forward from the crowd, Wang Ningxi called again while looking around, trying to find her.

However, after several attempts, he still couldn't even find a shadow.

Until he called the name several more times, finally, a silhouette floated out from behind the crowd, softly saying, "Young Master Ningxi, I'm here."

As she spoke, her figure drifted in like a specter to the center of the stage.

It was a young girl with exquisite features, her ice-blue long hair tied into two waist-length ponytails, wearing stockings with one black leg and one white leg, daring to try the legendary black and white combination.

"Artifact spirit [Little Snow]?"

The moment she appeared, all the Wang family members immediately recognized her.

After all, she's the family artifact spirit [Little Snow]. As the controller of the task hall and family warehouse, she has accompanied the family's generations of children growing up. Her image is deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts, and every member of the Wang family is familiar with her.

But no one dares to entertain any notions about Little Snow due to an important hidden family story involving the Wang family. Although no one speaks out about it, everyone knows that Little Snow has intricate ties to the Clan Leader.

Nevertheless, no one had expected that the head of the household Wang Mei would appear in such a guise...

"This..."

Wang Shouzhe was also secretly surprised.

Wang Mei's makeup skills seem to have approached perfection.

It's important to note that a two-dimensional image like Little Snow is the hardest to imitate; forcing a cosplay only results in a mismatched appearance. Previously, Wang Mei had tried to emulate Little Snow, and her exterior may have resembled her, but the innate temperament was vastly different.

Yet now, she seemed as if Little Snow had truly come to life.

Even Wang Shouzhe was spellbound, let alone other family members?

The men present were somewhat reserved and timid, but the girls had no such qualms, excitedly rushing forward to have Wang Ningxi help them take pictures with [Little Snow] using the Sky Mechanism Recording Disk.

"Ahem!" Wang Ningxi also squeezed in amidst the astonishment, "Elder Wang Mei, you truly have a lively spirit~~ Here are the resources allocated to you: inheritance rights to one Middle Grade Codex, one [Extreme Modification Essence Version], and one [Immortal Modification]. I've also looked up your family contribution points. It's quite an impressive number but not yet enough, so your family contribution points will appear in the negative realm after this. Please don't take it to heart."

Not just Wang Mei, but in fact, everyone ended up owing a considerable amount of contribution points to the family after this round.
