Celestial Peak

"Big brother you actually broke through earth root stage? That"s amazing, big brother is an expert like second older brother (w.a.n.g Hong) now."

Butler Sun was crying at one side while w.a.n.g Yue"s eyes were s.h.i.+ning as she praised her talented big brother like no tomorrow. w.a.n.g Ling could only sigh and eat his breakfast as the two did their own things.

[It"s so early and they"re being so noisy.]

He wasn"t finding such acts displeasing or anything like that so he just left them alone. In fact, he actually enjoyed such praises as it was first for him.

In the past when he breaks through another realm in his cultivation, people"s reaction would be the opposite of joy. They would run and flee from terror and keep the doors of their houses, manor, and sects as tight as possible in fear of having him coming knocking to their doorsteps.

He had a lot of past sect crus.h.i.+ng experience so it was understandable though. w.a.n.g Ling couldn"t blame them for having their doors lock shut as their fear was justified.

Though in his defence, the sects he crushed was either an evil sect or some sect who declared all-out war against him. It wasn"t like he was coming and going crus.h.i.+ng each sect he could find in his spare time.

Crus.h.i.+ng sects is not as simple as knocking in their front doors and killing everyone after all.

[This is nice change of pace I suppose.]

w.a.n.g Ling continued eating breakfast. It was only this morning he had told these two that he broke through earth root stage. He immediately went to sleep after taking a bath.

He was, at this moment finished eating. He looked at the two pair who was still doing their own things and asked them a sudden question.

"Butler Sun, is father going to come home anytime soon? I wish to talk to him about something."

Butler Sun was pulled away from his cries. Rubbing off the tear stains he had on his face, he smiled at w.a.n.g Ling and said.

"The master is coming back near the end of the year. He wrote me a letter mentioning about ending the conflict down south. That is a complete month starting today. Why? Is there a problem young master?"

w.a.n.g Ling shook his head.

"I just had something to talk about." Standing up, w.a.n.g Ling felt his body energized with all the food he had consumed. He was about to open his mouth when he noticed someone eyeing him.

[Hmm?]

w.a.n.g Ling turned his head over and the guys who were in the shadows flinched. w.a.n.g Ling was looking outside. There was a tree outside and for some reason, he smiled on that direction without reason.

[They are good! But they have yet to reach the point of making their presence disappear entirely.

Although it is extremely vague to the point I can"t really tell if an expert is there.

I can still somewhat sense them.]

w.a.n.g Ling mused. He already knew that his family was unlike n.o.bles of a lowly Kingdom such as this. His family was shrouded in a mist. It was a mystery even to him.

At the start he was only doubting if his family was really bizarre, but when he reached earth root stage, he gained the ability to gauge out other people"s strength. In his estimation. He should be able to detect the strength of anyone who is the same cultivation phase as he.

However, when he tried observing what level Butler Sun was, he was unable to sense anything. He was sure that he cultivates spirit qi because his body was strangely attracts spirit qi too much.

This only means one thing. Either Butler Sun"s strength is too strong for him to properly gauge. Butler Sun"s strength should be higher than a nascent soul.

w.a.n.g Ling also gained a keener sense. He was not able to sense the hidden experts around the manor. If he got it right, there should be ten hidden experts protecting his family from the shadows.

He had yet to uncover any more secrets his family is hiding from him, but w.a.n.g Ling was starting to get more and more interested. His own family was a mystery to him, then what should the people of Kingdom know?

[Oh, he disappeared.]

He smiled as the hidden expert disappeared from behind the tree. Butler Sun noticed w.a.n.g Ling"s smile and the hidden expert"s disappearance. This two occurrence made Butler Sun intrigue with his young master.

[Did young master noticed something?

I"m overthinking this. That shouldn"t be possible, unless he"s aware of their existence already and his senses is so keen that he actually detects people a hundred meters away.]

Butler Sun shook his head and decided to throw the idea on the back of his head. The two occurrence should be a coincidence.

At this time, w.a.n.g Yue approached w.a.n.g Ling and tugged on his sleeves.

"Big brother, do you want to come with me? I"ll be going to the second floor of the royal library with Sister Wei, do you want to come with us?"

w.a.n.g Yue asked. She knew how much w.a.n.g Ling loved reading books so she asked this question. She had been going to the royal library without fail recently and almost their entire collection of books regarding spirit plants had been read by her.

Looking down, w.a.n.g Ling saw his sister and was put in a deep thought. He had to practice but he also had to rest once in a while. It would also be best if he can get new information about the continent.

The first floor"s books about the continent was extremely lacking. He had wished to get access to the second floor of the royal library but he didn"t think that he will get it through w.a.n.g Yue.

"Sure I"ll go with you. Butler Sun I"ll be going out with Yue so can you prepare spirit stones for cultivation when I leave? I"ll be needing a lot of them."

w.a.n.g Ling agreed to w.a.n.g Yue"s offer and gave orders to complete the resources he will need to cultivate. Butler Sun also nodded his head as he left to take care of w.a.n.g Ling"s request.

w.a.n.g Yue and w.a.n.g Ling then left the manor. Of course they were accompanied by the two guards and w.a.n.g Yue"s maid Qiqi. Even when w.a.n.g Ling was not coming with them, the line-up was always present when w.a.n.g Yue leaves the house.

While they were walking away from the manor, w.a.n.g Ling felt slight movements. His brows raised for a moment before realizing that this the method Butler Sun had been keeping him and w.a.n.g Yue safe all this time.

After knowing this, w.a.n.g Ling just enjoyed the time of his walk with w.a.n.g Yue. Along the way they spoke with one another. It was mostly about the spirit plants w.a.n.g Yue had reach about.

The two guards and Qiqi were smiling as they watched w.a.n.g Yue talked to w.a.n.g Ling full of energy. They had been with w.a.n.g Yue for a while and had observed her for quite some time.

w.a.n.g Yue"s change had been triggered by w.a.n.g Ling"s own change. The two siblings were growing together, that"s how they see it.

The big brother shows how to be responsible and adaptable, while the little sister matures and becomes more independent. w.a.n.g Yue had even gained a friend. That"s the proof of her maturing.

w.a.n.g Ling of course noticed this and took note. He was closest with w.a.n.g Yue in the family so he was rather attached to her. He was someone who took care of him back when he was an idiot. If he can"t even care for such a wonderful little sister. Then that would only mean he wasn"t suited to be a family member.

[They grow up so fast.] He joked inside his head.

Soon they reached the royal library. There, they saw the two guards wearing golden armor and a little girl sitting on the stairs.

With her silky black hair, cute little nose, big round eyes, and a skin fairer than a regular maiden this kid was clearly going to become a beauty in the future. Wearing a beautiful dress that screams "I am princess" w.a.n.g Ling already confirmed who Wei was.

The girl looked like she was also 10 years of age like w.a.n.g Yue. Beside the little girl were two maids. They were around 17 years old and were a beauty of their own rights. They were currently persuading the girl to enter the royal library.

"Princess Wei, please enter the royal first and we will just inform you of Young Miss w.a.n.g"s arrival. Sitting here like this is unbefitting of your status."

"That"s right princess, please enter the royal library already. We have prepared your favorite tea and sweets inside, you can wait for your friend there more comfortably."

The little princess puffed her cheeks and crossed her arms together. She was unhappy and as her cheeks were still puffed, she spoke.

"I don"t want to. I told sister Yue that I"ll wait for her here so I"m not moving. You two can enter by yourself, I"ll wait for my friend here."

The two maids felt helpless at the sight of the princess acting like this.

Thankfully, w.a.n.g Yue"s group finally arrived. As soon as w.a.n.g Yue arrived a bright smile appeared on the little princess" face. Her smile was as bright as the sun and w.a.n.g Yue"s the same.

They held hands like the little kids they were. w.a.n.g Ling walked towards the maids and said his h.e.l.lo. The two girls saw w.a.n.g Ling and his usual attire of plain white robe and almost mistook him for a servant.

If not for the news and talks regarding w.a.n.g Ling"s hobby of wearing ordinary clothes, they would undoubtedly mistake him for a servant who has a handsome visage.

The two maids looked at w.a.n.g Ling and bowed to him respectfully. w.a.n.g Ling then turned to the two little girls and saw them coming towards him. They stopped in front of him and w.a.n.g Yue began introducing him to her little friend.

"This is my big brother, he only woke up a month ago but he"s already very proficient in many things. He knows almost everything about spirit plants, history, martial arts, and he even cultivated to earth root stage! He did this in one month!"

w.a.n.g Yue had a very proud look on her face as she introduced her brother to her friend. This is the first he did this kind of introducing her big brother to other so she listed everything she knows about w.a.n.g Ling so her friend will get to know w.a.n.g Ling better.

As a princess of a Kingdom Wei was aware of what w.a.n.g Yue had just said. She was also aware of w.a.n.g Ling"s ident.i.ty. The infamous useless First Young Master of the reputed w.a.n.g family that even her father fears.

She had thought that w.a.n.g Ling was actually a waste but who would"ve thought that he was actually so brilliant. A top-notched genius who was frowned by the heavens, this a thought that appeared on her mind.

Walking up to w.a.n.g Ling, the little girl said her greetings to w.a.n.g Ling.

"Good morning senior brother w.a.n.g. The story sister Yue told me seems to be true, you really are brilliant. For you to reach earth root stage in a single month"s time is really impressive."

w.a.n.g Ling looked at her and returned the friendly gestures he was given.

"It"s nothing really. Don"t bother with me and you two can do your own thing. I"ll just tag along with you guys."

The two girls did as they were told and went ahead do their own thing. w.a.n.g Ling only followed them to the second floor before breaking away from their group.

The interior of the second floor was the same as he first. There were only fewer shelves in comparison to the first. w.a.n.g Ling did not have a hard time trying to find the shelves concerning the continent.

The shelf was big and towered at over ten meters high. But there were only three books placed in it.

w.a.n.g Ling read the cover of the three books and picked them up one by one. He found a place where he can read in peace. He opened the book ent.i.tled «Three Continents».

w.a.n.g Ling managed to read the book in less than an hour. But the information it contained was enough to make the information he got below on the first floor seem like s.h.i.+t.

"So the realm really is broken into three continents. The only thing I"m in the shadow now is the center of the realm."

From what he had read, there were three continents and one supposed "central region". The three continent was basically but houses different races. While the central region is where the experts from the three continent gathers.

As for the two books, they were about the races present in the two other continent. These books also mentioned the relations.h.i.+p each race have.

It took him another four hours before he finished the entire thing. w.a.n.g Ling yawned as he learned everything he needed to learn from the second floor of the royal library. He went to find w.a.n.g Yue then so he can say to her that he"s about to go back.

w.a.n.g Yue was a little disappointed that he"s going back so soon. w.a.n.g Ling had to promise her that he will accompany her again here next time.

w.a.n.g Ling asked the two guards to stay there and wait for w.a.n.g Yue"s return. He had enough strength to protect himself so he wouldn"t be needing the accompaniment of the two guards.

It took him some time of convincing but the two guards eventually gave in and let him went home alone. They noticed that w.a.n.g Ling"s strength was above theirs and the young master was so insistent so they had to drop the matter.

After getting some time alone, w.a.n.g Ling finally had a walk all by himself. It was still noon so the people around were numerous. w.a.n.g Ling didn"t return home that quickly and went to take a walk first.

He had yet to see the whole city. Other than bookstore and the Green Pavilion, he had never actually been to any other place. So he went ahead and took a nice and pleasant walk.

He was walking and had a smile on his face until he found himself in a street called Hundred Orchid Street which was supposed to be the most vibrant street on the whole Kingdom.

However, against his expectation, the Hundred Orchid Street had no one. There were n.o.body present and everything was quiet. It was noon yet not a single soul can be seen.

"Something"s wrong!" he realized something was wrong and smelled something in the air, "This is, the scent of blood?"

With no hesitation, w.a.n.g Ling turned around so he can flee. However, just as he was turning around, five people dressed in black appeared from above.

These five men directed killing intent at w.a.n.g Ling. He knew that these five people were trouble. All of them had a weapon on their hands.

After confirming their cultivation, w.a.n.g Ling learned that they were all pinnacle level sky root stage cultivators.

"s.h.i.+t! I can"t beat them." w.a.n.g Ling said to himself as attempted to flee for him life. He knew his limits well so won"t try and act like a stupid hero who can face the whole world all by himself.

However, the five people who were clad in black were too fast. Their movements were like shadows and soon enough they were only a few meters away from w.a.n.g Ling.

s.h.i.+ng!

All of them had their swords drawn and directed at w.a.n.g Ling. Why were they doing this? w.a.n.g Ling couldn"t give a single f.u.c.k to know their reason for doing this because he can feel the breath of death on his neck.

But then…

Clang!!
