Chapter 7: Peerless Prodigy! How many are there in Wang's Clan?
……
As Wang Shouzhe was lost in heavy thoughts, everyone greeted each other one by one.
After listening to Wang Lingzhu's introduction, Wang Shouzhe learned that the middle-aged men and women cultivators at the Celestial Realm beside her were collateral relatives of the Longzuo Wang's Clan, who had branched out early on.
Except for a few collateral branches that managed to thrive, most of them hadn't fared well. Some were nearly extinct, while others lived in dire straits.
Once these branches split off, the Longzuo Wang's Clan couldn't possibly protect them like a high-level nanny.
However, if they traveled thousands of miles to seek help from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, the mansion wouldn't completely ignore them and would lend a hand when reasonable.
Of course, if a branch had already rotted to the core, was incapable yet still didn't strive, and only relied on the Duke of Dingguo's mansion for charity, there was no need to help them.
These clan relatives belonged to different declining branches, and they all had the qualifications of minor prodigies. After joining the Lingyun Holy Land through the connections of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, they were supported by resources from the family, the mansion, and the Holy Land, eventually advancing to the Celestial Realm.
Minor prodigies were considered excellent elite disciples in local academies. If they were B-grade or A-grade, they would be core disciples, and with enough potential, they could even be taken as personal disciples by the various lineages of the academy.
