3: Chapter 3 The Whole Family Rises to the Main Branch

Hearing this title, Wang Shoutian felt a storm raging in his heart.

He had endured for too many years.

From the branch Family to the medicinal garden, from a demigod to logistics, he had always told himself that the Family's rules were simply like this, and without resources, he had to resign himself to fate.

But today, a main Family enforcer stood before him, not only standing up for him, but also suppressing the steward on his behalf.

All of this could only stem from one reason.

Pingan had undergone Awakening, and his Awakening talent was not low.

Liu Yun also thought of this, her voice carrying a tremor: "Enforcer Qinglan, what are the results of Pingan's Awakening?"

Wang Qinglan turned to look at the couple, the smile on his face resurfacing.

"Congratulations, Clan Older Brother Shoutian, and congratulations, Clan Older Sister-in-law Liu Yun. Our Family's Qilin child, Wang Pingan, has awakened a Divine Kingdom with an area of one hundred square kilometers, an initial population of one thousand people, and a civilization system of Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation."

He paused, raising his voice significantly so that it spread throughout the entire medicinal garden.

"Talent: A-Grade Comprehension, overall evaluation: A-plus!"

Everyone in the medicinal garden raised their heads.

Several alien slaves widened their eyes in shock.

Wang Shoutian stood in place, unable to spit out a single word for a long time.

Liu Yun's eye sockets instantly turned red, and her fingers pressed hard against the jade box, pressing down again and again, just so she wouldn't lose her composure on the spot.

"A-plus?"

Wang Dehai's legs went soft, and he almost collapsed into the ridge of the field.

Just moments ago, he was talking about what branch Family children could rely on to turn their fortunes around.

Now the answer was smashed directly in front of him.

A-Grade Comprehension, Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation, overall evaluation A-plus.

This was no longer a simple turnaround; this was directly bypassing 99% of the main Family geniuses, stepping straight into the Family's top-tier cultivation roster.

Wang Qinglan continued to announce: "The Clan Chief has already given the order. Starting today, Wang Shoutian's Family is included in the main Family, enjoying first-class direct descendant Genius treatment. The original branch Family registry is voided, and the new main Family identity will be delivered tonight."

Being included in the main Family meant that resources, status, connections, and permissions were all rewritten.

Having managed the medicinal garden for half his life, Wang Shoutian felt for the very first time that the stifled breath in his chest had completely dissipated.

Liu Yun covered her mouth, but her tears still fell.

Wang Dehai felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, quickly stepping forward two paces with his waist bent so low it was almost touching the ground.

"Clan Older Brother Shoutian, Clan Older Sister-in-law Liu Yun, I was muddle-headed just now, and it was my carelessness in auditing the accounts. I will make up for the subsidies immediately, and the losses will also be borne by the medicinal garden steward's office."

Wang Shoutian looked at him without a shred of a smile on his face.

In the past, when Wang Dehai called him Wang Shoutian or called Liu Yun by her name, there was always a tone of reprimand. Now, it was 'Clan Older Brother' this and 'Clan Older Sister-in-law' that, changing his tune faster than turning the page of a book.

Liu Yun wiped the corner of her eye and paid him no heed.

Wang Qinglan directly waved his hand: "Of course the subsidies must be made up. Furthermore, all similar losses you deducted over the past three years must be thoroughly re-audited. If there is even a shred of selfishness, go explain yourself to the Law Enforcement Hall."

Cold sweat poured down Wang Dehai's face as he repeatedly agreed: "Yes, yes, I'll investigate immediately."

Wang Qinglan no longer looked at him, turning instead to instruct Wang Shoutian and his wife: "The Clan Chief has already sent people to pick up Pingan. The two of you should also pack up; the main Family residence has already been arranged."

Liu Yun's voice grew tight: "Can we see Pingan right now?"

"Not for the moment."

Wang Qinglan's tone softened, "The Third Ancestor has summoned him personally. He must go to the ancestral hall first. After seeing the Third Ancestor, the Clan Chief will arrange a Family reunion for you all."

Wang Shoutian suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded solemnly: "Alright, we will follow the Family's arrangements."

Outside the medicinal garden, several branch Family members who rushed over upon hearing the news watched from afar, their eyes completely changed.

They saw Wang Dehai lower his head with their own eyes and heard Wang Qinglan call them Clan Older Brother and Clan Older Sister-in-law with their own eyes.

Starting from today, Wang Shoutian's Family was truly different.

At the school gate of Tianhai No. 1 High School.

After the Awakening ceremony ended, students left the school one after another. Outside the school gate, it was packed with flying cars and small divine boats from various families picking people up.

As soon as Wang Pingan walked out of the school gate, he saw a middle-aged man standing not far away.

That person was wearing the Family's robe, with a Clan Chief token hanging from his waist. His divine aura was restrained very well, yet it still made the surrounding students proactively give way.

Seeing the token clearly, Wang Pingan took the initiative to step forward and greet him: "Are you waiting for me, Clan Uncle?"

The middle-aged man nodded, removed the token from his waist, and faced its front toward Wang Pingan.

The Divine Thought imprint of Clan Leader Wang Tianhe floated up from the token. The imprint flashed past, which was sufficient to prove his identity.

"My name is Wang Chengyue, and I have been ordered by the Clan Chief to bring you back to the ancestral hall."

Wang Pingan bowed slightly: "Greetings, Clan Uncle Chengyue."

Wang Chengyue looked him up and down, his eyes holding both appreciation and seriousness: "Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue already knows your Awakening result, and the old man has personally spoken to see you."

The Third Ancestor summoned him personally.

Wang Pingan's heart stirred slightly, but his expression remained calm and steady.

All three Old Ancestors of the Family were Tier 4 Deities who rarely showed their faces on ordinary days; ordinary main Family descendants might not even get to see them once in a lifetime.

As a newly awakened branch Family descendant who could be named by the Third Ancestor, there was only one reason.

The evaluation of an A-plus-grade talent was weighty enough.

Wang Chengyue lowered his voice to remind him: "Before boarding the ship, remember a few words."

Wang Pingan listened attentively: "Please go ahead, Clan Uncle."

"Today you awakened an A-plus-grade talent, and the news has already spread. In Tianhai City, not only will the Family make a move, but the Lin Family and the Federal Education Bureau might also send people to contact you privately."

Wang Chengyue's tone grew heavier by a few fractions, "No matter what conditions they offer, do not agree on the spot, and definitely do not go to unfamiliar divine domain spaces, nor let anyone inspect your Divine Kingdom."

Wang Pingan's gaze narrowed slightly.

He naturally understood the meaning behind these words.

Although the Federation explicitly stipulates that no one is allowed to attack students, with violators facing the execution of their entire Family, there are always some traitors or hostile forces that specifically target students with top-tier talents within the human Federation.

Secretly contacting their Divine Kingdoms, then using certain methods to deduce the location of the Divine Kingdom within the Void Realm, and finally colluding with alien races to breach the Divine Kingdom. Once the Divine Kingdom is breached, the person will also be utterly destroyed.

"I remember it."

Seeing his sharp reaction, Wang Chengyue's expression softened slightly: "On the surface, the Federation will protect the safety of students' Divine Kingdoms, but private invitations, resource contracts, and alien infiltration—these things are impossible to guard against completely."

He looked at the bustling crowd outside the school gate and continued analyzing the situation: "The Lin Family and the Family are both on Tianhai Star, competing for hundreds of years. They wouldn't dare to openly rob you, but they will find ways to split your cultivation rights, or even make you sign cooperation contracts that favor them."

Wang Pingan probed smoothly: "Does the Family already have arrangements?"

"Both the Clan Chief and the Third Ancestor will make arrangements for you."

After finishing, Wang Chengyue raised his hand and released a small bronze boat.

The divine boat grew larger against the wind, stopping in the open space outside the school gate. The Family's crest was engraved on the hull, and once the Formation patterns lit up, the surrounding view was immediately blocked off.

Several teachers from other schools and people from other families originally wanted to approach, but seeing the Family's crest, they stopped in their tracks.

Wang Pingan followed Wang Chengyue and boarded the divine boat.

The boat doors closed, and the outside sounds were isolated by the Formation, the commotion at the school gate gradually fading into the distance.

The divine boat rose into the air, flying toward the ancestral grounds of the Family.
