Chapter 59

......

This woman has great potential for cultivation.

Moreover, she is only twenty-three years old but has already reached the third level of the Qi Condensation stage. Although her cultivation is not as high as that of the bloodline disciples in the family, it is not far off. Therefore, she must be very talented and hardworking.

Wang Zhong, standing beside him, took a while to come to his senses and said with a bitter smile, "Wang Mei, I have seen you use makeup techniques before, but never like this. Impressive, impressive."

"Uncle Zhong, it's just that Mei Mei has always had an average appearance, so I gradually developed a liking for makeup, entertaining myself in private," Wang Mei's voice was clear and melodious, and she gave Wang Zhong a playful glance, "This is just a minor skill, not something to be shown in public."

Wang Zhong's heart raced and his breathing quickened. He turned away, "Wang Mei, don't talk like that. I have a wife and children."

If he were not very familiar with Wang Mei, this middle-aged man in his thirties or forties would have fallen for it.

Wang Shouzhe found it amusing and thought, if you didn't have a wife and children, would you have given in?

"Alright, this mission will be entrusted to Wang Mei," Wang Shouzhe coughed and said solemnly, "Wang Zhong, you are always calm and steady. You will be in charge of this intelligence operation. You can request the use of family resources, and you must ensure Wang Mei's safety. Do not take excessive risks to complete the mission."

"Wang Zhong accepts the order," Wang Zhong bowed with a serious demeanor.

"Wang Mei," Wang Shouzhe continued, "your makeup skills may seem minor, but if used well, they will surely become a great asset. However, your makeup is too feminine, and your demeanor can be overly delicate and affected. It might work on the inexperienced young generation, but it will be less effective against those old foxes and seasoned veterans."

Wang Shouzhe then shared some theories he had learned in his previous life, such as how to cultivate a lady of high society and how to make others feel that you are unfathomable through seemingly casual behavior.

He talked about techniques like playing hard to get, maintaining a balance of closeness and distance, and so on.

In his previous life, there were many such techniques, even specialized training programs for cultivating ladies of high society, and even more despicable PUA training and practices.

Having been exposed to these, Wang Shouzhe's theoretical knowledge was far more advanced and extensive than Wang Mei's.

Wang Mei's eyes grew brighter as she listened. The head of the family was opening a new world for her, showing her a vast realm to explore.

Wang Zhong and Wang Gui, however, became increasingly frightened and trembled.

If Wang Mei could truly achieve what the head of the family described, would there be any place for men in this world? Those who became her targets would surely be played in the palm of her hand.

"Remember, the ultimate goal is not to let the target succeed," Wang Shouzhe said, "First, you are a family warrior, and I don't want you to sacrifice yourself to this extent. Second, for men, what they cannot obtain is the most beautiful, with endless imagination. This can be used to our advantage in the future."

"Wang Mei will follow the head of the family's teachings," Wang Mei said, impressed. The head of the family truly understood human nature and had far-sighted plans. Moreover, his concern for her was heartwarming.

After receiving their tasks, Wang Zhong and Wang Mei took their leave.

"Wang Gui, go and bring Wang Yong, Wang Wu, and Wang An," Wang Shouzhe instructed.

Unexpectedly, Wang Gui, who was usually sycophantic, stood there in a daze, as if his mind was filled with Wang Mei's image. Wang Shouzhe kicked him over, "Can't you be a bit more ambitious?"

"Head of the family, I was wrong," Wang Gui came to his senses and begged for mercy, then showed a hint of hope, "Head of the family, do you think Mei Mei and I have a chance? Our statuses are quite similar..."

"Ha ha," Wang Shouzhe glared at him, "Snap out of it. Wang Mei is not the type to be content with being a housewife. Her ambition is greater than you can imagine. You can't control her. If you really want to start a family, I'll look for a suitable match from a collateral branch of the family. Now, get to work."

"Yes, head of the family," Wang Gui hurriedly ran out.

Taking a break, Wang Shouzhe brewed a pot of spirit tea and sipped it slowly to calm his mind. It was surprising to find such a talented woman among the family warriors.

However, if he, Wang Shouzhe, had not taken the position and the more conservative Wang Dingyue had remained the head of the family, Wang Mei's talent might have been buried and never seen the light of day.

But since Wang Shouzhe had discovered this gem, he would not let it go to waste. Dealing with the young disciples of the Liu and Wang families would be just a warm-up for Wang Mei.

After this, he planned to build a secret organization centered around Wang Mei, a comprehensive intelligence network.

However, it was too early to decide. He needed to see how she performed this time.

Putting it aside for now.

Soon, Wang Yong and the other family warriors arrived. After giving them instructions, they all accepted their tasks and went to do their work.

Wang Shouzhe, as the head of the family, did not need to handle every matter personally. Doing so would only undermine their capabilities and exhaust his own energy and time.

At that moment,

A voice came from outside the door, "Is the head of the family here? I am Wang Xiaoyu, the maid of Miss Luo Yi."

"Come in," Wang Shouzhe said.

At the entrance of the side hall, a young maid of about eighteen or nineteen years old walked in. She was quite pretty, far more so than Wang Mei. However, compared to Wang Mei after using her makeup skills, she was in a different league.

The makeup technique, one of the three great evil arts, was indeed terrifying.

Wang Xiaoyu dared not look up at Wang Shouzhe and said, "Xiaoyu greets the head of the family. Miss Luo Yi has not seen the head of the family for some time and has sent me to ask if you have time to have a meal together."

Luo Yi.

She was Wang Shouzhe's elder sister, his only full sibling. In his memory, they had a deep bond due to losing their mother at a young age.

A wave of affection welled up in his heart, and he nodded, "Tell my sister that I will come after I prepare a bit."

Wang Xiaoyu took her leave.

With Wang Gui's assistance, Wang Shouzhe washed his face, tidied his clothes, and looked at himself in a large bronze mirror. Yes, he looked quite heroic and vigorous, with a youthful yet composed demeanor. If he had this appearance and aura on Earth, Wang Shouzhe thought he could live off his looks.

He took some spirit tea, sea delicacies brought back by the Hundred Islands Guard, and a few pearls with a hint of spiritual energy. Wang Gui carried the gifts as they strolled leisurely.

The main residence, planned and built by the old ancestor Zouxuan for long-term use, was quite large. Wang Luo Yi's quarters were in a quiet area, and it took about fifteen minutes to walk there.

The main residence was filled with various plants, creating a lush and green environment. Some ancient trees planted long ago had grown into towering giants, their canopies providing ample shade and a cool atmosphere.

This truly embodied the saying, "The ancients planted the trees, and the later generations enjoy the shade."

The deeper into the main residence, the quieter it became. This area was mainly for the young ladies and children of the family. Except for the very young who lived with their parents, the rest lived independently.

Each residence had its own small pond, rock garden, flower bed, pavilion, and corridor, creating a very elegant landscape.

Wang Shouzhe was enjoying the rare peace and quiet as he strolled.

Suddenly,

A commotion came from ahead.

"Wang Shoulian, if you lose, I'll make you pay," a domineering little girl's voice said.

"Brother Five, I support you. Losing to Brother Six would be embarrassing," another familiar girl's voice, Wang Luojing, chimed in.

At the same time,

The sounds of fists and feet colliding and qi clashing could be heard.

The fifth and sixth brothers were sparring?

The Wang family's Shou generation had seven male members, from the oldest, Wang Shouxin, to the youngest, Wang Shouye. Wang Shouzhe was the fourth, with three younger brothers.

The two sparring were the fifth brother, Wang Shouyong, and the sixth brother, Wang Shoulian.

In a long-established family, the age gap between generations could be quite large.

Wang Shouzhe smiled and decided not to join in, so they wouldn't feel constrained.

Just as he was about to slip away, he heard the eldest daughter, Wang Lici, say, "Wang Shouyong, Wang Shoulian, haven't you eaten? You're all so weak, what kind of men are you?"

"Big Sister, don't interfere," Wang Shouyong called out, "If you can do better, you do it."

"Exactly, Big Sister, you should call us Uncle!" Wang Shoulian chimed in while sparring, "We are older than you."

"Sigh, being older doesn't mean anything. The dried fish I gave you didn't help at all," Wang Lici sighed, "Sigh, with you two like this, how can you beat Uncle Four, that big demon?"

Uncle Four...

Big demon?

Wang Shouzhe was taken aback and touched his nose. When did he get this nickname?
