Protect Our Patriarch

...

For other travelers, there is a Golden Finger system (cheat). As long as they silently invoke the system, they can call up various data panels at a glance.

However, without the assistance of the Golden Finger system, Wang Shoujie is no longer afraid. With the experience of his sixth uncle, Wang Dinghai, he has gradually discovered that he and the "natives" of this world have huge differences in terms of vision, thinking, and other aspects.

For example, in terms of cultural knowledge, he was just an ordinary college graduate before crossing over, having attended a few years of ordinary classes. Placed on Earth, he was just an ordinary person in the vast sea of people.

Leaving out kindergarten, he had six years of elementary school, six years of middle school, and four years of college. The time spent on systematic learning of professional knowledge had reached 16 years, covering literature, music, language, philosophy, astronomy, geography, history, politics, and mathematics, among others.

Most of this knowledge had probably been deposited into the depths of his brain, but it was precisely this vast amount of knowledge that he couldn't recall at once that formed Wang Shoujie's relatively superior and unique perspective, thinking logic, and vision compared to the natives.

Moreover, before crossing over, he had been exposed to a vast amount of online articles, short videos, and information, which had been updated to an extreme extent. His phone would go black after a day of browsing, and then brighten up again after another day.

Every day, some strange and obscure knowledge points would quietly increase.

"Perhaps these are my Golden Finger," Wang Shoujie murmured, with a glint in his eye. "As for the system panel, it's not difficult to set up. At most, I just need to establish a panel that requires frequent updates and maintenance."

However, before setting up the panel, he still needed to personally delve deeper into the structure of the entire family, as well as the specific details. Although he had merged with his predecessor's memories, his predecessor was only 18 years old.

Most of his time had been spent on learning and cultivating, and he had a very shallow understanding of family affairs.

He only knew that the family's most important pillar industries were three farms, namely "Fenggu Farm", "Xingsheng Farm", and "Xinmao Silkworm Farm". These three farms were far more important to the family than the fishing team industry.

The harvest of each farm was extremely important to the family, so the three farms were currently being managed by three experienced elderly members of the family.

Today, Wang Shoujie decided to visit the nearby Fenggu Farm, which was being managed by the elderly Wang Xiaozhi of the same generation.

"Wang Gui, prepare the horse carriage," Wang Shoujie decided, giving an order.

Wang Gui responded with a "yes" and hurriedly retreated to prepare.

Wang Shoujie, on the other hand, walked towards the main gate at a leisurely pace, thinking about some matters related to Fenggu Farm. Just as he reached the middle of the courtyard, he heard a sweet and charming voice calling out: "Fourth Brother, good day."

Wang Shoujie turned to look and saw two girls standing not far away. The older one was in her prime, wearing a light blue tight-fitting outfit, and looked very beautiful.

The younger one was only 11 or 12 years old, with a sheep's horn braid, and was also dressed very prettily. Although she was shy and hiding behind the older girl, she couldn't help but steal glances at Wang Shoujie.

What was peculiar was that each of the two girls was carrying a large, peculiarly shaped box that looked quite heavy. They were also each holding a sword, looking like they were about to go out.

"Ah, it's Fourth Sister Luotong and Fifth Sister Luojing," Wang Shoujie recognized them at a glance, smiling and greeting them. "You're all dressed up, are you preparing to go out?"

The older one, Wang Luotong, was 17 years old. The younger one, Wang Luojing, was only 12 years old. They were both seventh-generation descendants of the Zhouxuan ancestors, just like Wang Shoujie.

In mysterious martial families, the women were not like those in ancient Huaxia. Although their ultimate fate was still marriage, they had a certain degree of autonomy before getting married. They received high-quality education, cultivation, and could even participate in the management of the family business, just like men.

"Fourth Brother." Wang Luotong bowed again, a flash of surprise in her eyes. "The farm is about to harvest, Grandfather is very busy and doesn't have time to come back, so I'll take Luojing to visit him."

In Wang Luotong's impression, Fourth Brother Wang Shoujie was always quite serious. When siblings met, they would at most exchange a greeting before hurrying off, unlike now, when he was praising them like a spring breeze.

Wang Shoujie recalled that Wang Luotong and Wang Luojing were both granddaughters of the clan's elder, Wang Xiaozhi. Their father was Wang Dingbang, the fourth generation of the "Ding" character lineage, but Wang Dingbang had passed away five years ago.

The Wang Clan's male lineage followed the order of "Yu->Zhong->Xiu", "Ding(6th gen)->Shou(7th gen)->Zong", and "Bu->Fen->Di", without distinguishing between main and branch lines. Wang Shoujie's father, Wang Dingyue (Ding 'Wang Dingyue'->Shou 'Wang Shoujie'), was the sixth generation of the "Ding" character lineage, and Wang Shoujie was the fourth male of the seventh generation of the "Shou" character lineage. However, Wang Dingyue and Wang Shoujie were both part of the main lineage, while others were only direct descendants.

As for the Wang Clan's female lineage, it followed the order of "Zhu->Long(3rd gen)->Ling->Zhen->Liu->Luo(7th gen)->Li->Ying". For example, the current family pillar, Ancestor Wang Longyan, was the only living third-generation elder.

Wang Luotong and Wang Luojing were the fourth and fifth females of the seventh generation, respectively. Their aunt, Wang Luomiao, was the seventh in line, but as a main lineage daughter, her status in the family was slightly different.

As the family developed, the age gap between generations would increase.

For instance, Wang Shoujie, a seventh-generation "Shou" character lineage male, was already 43 years old, older than Wang Dingyue. The youngest of the seventh generation, Wang Luolan, was only 5 years old.

Moreover, the eighth generation "Zong" and "Li" character lineages also had many members, with Wang Zongwei being the oldest at 20 years old. When he saw Wang Luojing and Wang Luolan, he had to call them "Auntie".

Let's put aside the small talk for now.

Wang Shoujie thought for a moment before saying, "Are you two planning to head over? I'm also going to take a look at Fenggu Farm, so why don't you ride with me in one carriage?"

He knew that the family was going through a difficult time and couldn't afford to provide a separate carriage for two young girls, let alone a family guard.

The distance from here to Fenggu Farm was over 10 miles, and it would take at least 2 hours to walk. However, this area was all Wang Clan territory, and it was a familiar and developed region, so there was no danger.

Moreover, as Wang Clan women, they weren't weak and helpless.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother," Wang Luotong said, somewhat surprised and grateful. Wang Luojing also looked delighted, saying, "Fourth Brother is really great."

"Don't get too excited, I'll be testing your academic and martial arts skills on the way," Wang Shoujie said with a smile.

"Ah—" Wang Luotong and Wang Luojing suddenly looked worried, especially Wang Luojing, whose small face fell, looking unhappy and feeling that it would be better to walk.

Before long, under the protection of four family guards riding yellow horses, Wang Shoujie's carriage slowly departed from the main residence. Wang Luojing, still young and very respectful of Wang Shoujie, was a bit restless in the carriage, her eyes occasionally glancing at the snacks on the small table.

Wang Shoujie had just asked Wang Gui to bring some honeyed melons and fruits, which were placed on the small table in the carriage.

"Luotong, I see your breath is stabilized at the Qi Refining Realm's second peak. How long has it been? Are you preparing to break through?" Wang Shoujie handed her a washed sweet melon and asked casually. Martial artists would learn some aura-reading techniques, especially when there was a large gap in cultivation levels between two people, making it easy to discern each other's rough cultivation level.

As a woman, Wang Luotong was able to cultivate to this level at around 17 years old, showing that she had good talent and was also very hardworking.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother," Wang Luotong replied, taking the sweet melon with some restraint. "It's been over two months, and I'm currently doing some water-milling work. Grandfather said it would take about three months to break through."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shoujie's eyebrows furrowed: "You're wasting too much time. Why not use a 'Minor Nourishing Pill' to assist in breaking through? According to clan rules, you have the right to request one."

"This..." Wang Luotong lowered her head, looking anxious. "Grandfather said that the family's resources are too tight right now, and we can't get a Minor Nourishing Pill for a while."

"It's not that," Wang Luojing pouted. "Grandfather said that Brother is already at the third peak and needs a Minor Nourishing Pill more than Sister."

"Luojing, don't talk nonsense," Wang Luotong said, somewhat urgently.

"Luojing, tell me," Wang Shoujie's expression turned serious. "Is Wang Shouye bullying you two? If that's the case, I'll teach him a lesson."

He knew that Wang Shouye was their biological brother, now around 20 years old.
