Protect Our Chief

All the others present were elites from noble families, all of them connoisseurs, and they were equally astonished and marveled at the generosity of the Chen Family.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Wu Xue Ning couldn’t help but glance proudly at Wu Yiluo.

Oh no!

Wu Yiluo was inwardly frowning with deep concern.

In such occasions, what matters is the heritage. If what the Gongye Family presents later is not as valuable as what the Chen Family offered, others might think that the Gongye Family’s heritage is inferior to the Chen Family’s, or that her status as a granddaughter in the Gongye Family is not as valued as Wu Xue Ning’s.

That could affect her future standing in the family.

Unfortunately, at this moment, it was not appropriate for her to speak up, especially with so many in the Divine Power Realm around, even transmitting a message was inconvenient.

Just as she was anxiously worrying, her elder brother Wu Shengjun gave her a reassuring look.

Simultaneously, the representative from the Gongye Family, Gongye Jingyan, stood up.

Gongye Jingyan was a graceful, steady young man.

He was Wu Yiluo’s mother’s elder brother, but since Gongye Qingrui was born late, he was significantly older and had already taken over most of the Gongye Family’s enterprises years ago. When Emperor’s Son An ascended, he naturally assumed the position of patriarch, and was now the head of the Gongye Family.

Over the years, he had represented the Gongye Family in many collaborations with the Wang Family, and often visited Wu Yiluo at the Wang Clan Academy; they were long-time acquaintances.

He took out a storage ring and directly placed it in Wang Anye’s hand, explaining, "An Ye, this is an artifact version of the Spirit Stone-powered cargo flying ship, reconstructed by your uncle from excavated fragmented blueprints. This flying ship consumes a lot of Spirit Stones, but it has a huge carrying capacity. If used wisely, it can play a significant role."

Perhaps due to his background as an artifact refiner, he appeared somewhat stern and spoke with precision, finally adding, "Apart from a sample, this storage ring includes the blueprints and a usage authorization document from the Gongye Family. If the Wang Family’s own artifact refiners wish to study or improve it, they are welcome to do so."

The Daqian Law places considerable importance on the ownership of artifact blueprints. Except for those excavated from relics, independently developed and completed blueprints like these require the developer’s authorization before they can be manufactured or modified.

This aspect of the Daqian Law was gradually established and perfected under the vigorous promotion of the Gongye Family.

What Gongye Jingyan meant was to essentially grant the Wang Family the rights to produce and modify this type of flying ship. It was like giving the Wang Family a new, continuously profitable enterprise.

This was much stronger than merely giving an item.

Of course, if one must argue, it’s hard to say whether it’s better or worse than the "Soul-Protecting Bell," as they are completely different things and cannot be compared.

"The Gongye Family truly lives up to its reputation as an Artifact Refining Family; their strength is indeed formidable."

Everyone present sighed in amazement, marveling at the weight of the gift and the decisiveness of the Gongye Family.

One must know that such money-making things would be treasured by any family. The Gongye Family’s offer was enough to show how much they valued Wu Yiluo, their niece.

Seeing the reactions, Wu Yiluo’s eyes immediately lit up with a smile, her delicate face radiant and beaming with pride. Her uncle indeed did not disappoint her.

Darn it!

Wu Xue Ning bit her lip angrily.

Once again, she failed to overshadow Wu Yiluo, that nasty girl!

It seems the only way to determine the winner is the method suggested by the Legion Banner Sister.

But the Legion Banner Sister was right; men like bigger ones. How could little Yiluo’s "small" frame compete with hers? That nasty girl, just wait, she will win this time!

However, to everyone’s surprise, just when they thought this segment was over and prepared to send the two brides to the bridal chamber, Wang Yingxuan, who represented the Lingyun Sacred Land’s Master Jiang Zhencang to attend the ceremony, spoke up.

"Hold on a moment, I have a gift here to represent my master for the three newlyweds."

Decades have passed, and Wang Yingxuan, now over fifty, had already bloomed into a radiant and elegantly extraordinary Saint Land Fairy.

With the full support of her master Jiang Zhencang, her talent had improved significantly from its original foundation, and more than twenty years ago, she had already advanced to the Celestial Human Realm, now at the Middle Stage.

In the Saint Land, her status was extraordinary, having earned a massive reputation over the years, and was widely recognized as a strong contender for the Saint Land’s leader position.

Although she was a year younger than An Ye, in terms of seniority, she was An Ye’s aunt, so representing Jiang Zhencang in giving gifts was naturally not an issue.

Saying so, she took out a long, intricately inscribed wooden gift box and handed it to An Ye.

As the Master of the Saint Land, Jiang Zhencang theoretically was also an elder to An Ye, but no one expected that he would actually gift something.

After all, he was the Master of the Saint Land, one of the great pillars of Daqian. Compared to Emperor Longchang, who often stirred trouble, this Master was much more low-key, rarely appearing unless you were a direct disciple, and even then, he was hard to meet.

Previously, everyone was already surprised that he tasked Wang Yingxuan to send congratulations, thinking it was only due to giving face to the Imperial Family and Wang Yingxuan, never expecting that he actually prepared an elder’s gift.
