"Congratulations, Shouzhe..." Ancestor Longyan came over as well, joyfully stroking Wang Zongteng. "There's another child in the family. With its potential, so long as it is properly nurtured, it will surely become a great pillar in the future. I hope that once it grows up, it can protect the family and protect the human race well."
All along, Ancestor Longyan had regarded protecting the family as her foremost duty.
She had devoted herself wholeheartedly to cultivation, even going so far as to infiltrate the Yin Sha Sect to obtain the Yin Sha Codex. It had never been for power or authority—she had only wanted to protect this home better.
As for protecting the human race, that had merely come along with it.
"Rest assured, Ancestor." Wang Shouzhe spoke solemnly as well. "Our family—I, Shouzhe, will protect it unto death."
"You mustn't wear yourself out too much either." Ancestor Longyan doted on and cherished Wang Shouzhe the most. She advised him, "The children at home have grown up now. You can hand any miscellaneous matters over to them and let them shoulder some burdens."
Wang Anxin's cheek twitched beside them.
Wasn't his great-grandfather already idle enough? He had been so idle that he had even "given birth" to another grandfather from the Zong generation for himself!
"Rest assured, Ancestor." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile. "I've been letting the children shoulder burdens. Zong'an, Shi Zhao, Anye, and Fugui are all outstanding, and Ningxi is also a top-notch genius. They have helped me share many worries and solve many difficulties."
Wang Anxin's face twitched.
Great-grandfather, I'm a living, breathing person standing right in front of you. Couldn't you at least toss a few compliments my way?
What, was his place in his great-grandfather's heart actually not even as important as his son
