Chapter 761: As Parents

The majority of parents in this world would impose their incomplete dreams on their children. It was for the good of their children and w.a.n.g Yu’s mother was not an exception.

Even if w.a.n.g Yu was not as gifted and just like any other child, w.a.n.g Yu’s mother wouldn’t give up as well.

“I feel that if you really meant well for me, you should let me become a person with my own set of thinking and not a robot without a mind of its own.”

w.a.n.g Yu said faintly, “In the half-year that I left home, my life was poverty-stricken but I felt relaxed and comfortable.”

“You…” w.a.n.g Yu’s mother, who was initially fuming, suddenly felt an immense heartache when she heard w.a.n.g Yu’s last sentence.

“You’d rather suffer outside than go home?” w.a.n.g Yu’s mother asked.

“I’m not suffering outside. I do feel the most blessed during that period of time,” w.a.n.g Yu replied as he turned to look at Mu Zixian. At the same time, Mu Zixian’s heart seemed to beat at the same time as w.a.n.g Yu as she turned to look at w.a.n.g Yu too. The two of them smiled at each other as their faces were filled with happiness.

“Don’t you love your kung fu?”

“I do! But I rather treat my kung fu as pleasure and not pressure!” w.a.n.g Yu said.

“Pleasure?” w.a.n.g Yu’s mother asked, “Training is tough by itself so how can it bring you pleasure?”

w.a.n.g Yu answered, “Expressing my kung fu freely in the game is the greatest form of pleasure! It is much better than training behind closed doors like we did before.”

“Really?” w.a.n.g Yu’s mother was slightly surprised.

“Of course!” Old w.a.n.g said excitedly. There were many powerful monsters in the game and they were more interesting than hitting some wooden pile.

“Alright then!” Since Old w.a.n.g said so, w.a.n.g Yu’s mother finally managed to calm herself down. She turned to look at Mu Zixian and asked, “When did you two get married?”

“About half a year ago,” Mu Zixian replied.

“Ai… No kids yet?”

“No…”

“Great, seems like there’s still time,” w.a.n.g Yu’s mother said faintly.

“What do you mean?” Hearing what w.a.n.g Yu’s mother said, everyone was stunned.

Mu Zixian’s face was especially pale… Still time? Is she trying to force them to get a divorce?

“Mother, I finally picked up the courage to come home. Don’t you force me!” w.a.n.g Yu exclaimed.

Old w.a.n.g also commented, “Aihua, don’t be like that. Don’t you know his temper? It won’t work if you do this!”

“Since I cannot endure the pain of training, if big brother leaves, I won’t be able to bear any responsibility as well,” w.a.n.g Fei added.

“What are you guys saying?” w.a.n.g Yu’s mother continued, “What I meant to say is for them to arrange another wedding. Such an obscure way of getting married is certainly not fitting to our family.”

As she said that, w.a.n.g Yu’s mother took off a big gold ring as she handed it to Mu Zixian. “The two of you came so suddenly so I didn’t prepare anything beforehand. You can have this.”

“Thank you, mother.” Mu Zixian received the ring as her face blushed.

Old w.a.n.g extended his hand to take off the other gold ring on w.a.n.g Yu’s mother’s other hand. He handed it to Mu Zixian and said, “I also didn’t prepare anything much…”

Mu Zixian, “…”

After Mu Zixian received the other ring, the atmosphere on the dining table became much more harmonious. Even though it was hard to change w.a.n.g Yu’s mother standpoint, it did feel like she had finally accepted Mu Zixian.

Old w.a.n.g was more easygoing as he squeezed over to w.a.n.g Yu’s side to ask, “Big son, I saw the system announcement earlier. It seems like you manage to forge a G.o.d-grade equipment?”

“Hehe.” w.a.n.g Yu chuckled, “It’s nothing much!”

“How was your father’s performance earlier?” Old w.a.n.g asked w.a.n.g Yu.

w.a.n.g Yu replied, “Father, you’re brilliant.”

“So how about you forge a weapon for me too?” Old w.a.n.g replied in excitement.

“Alright, but you have to prepare the materials by yourself. I got all my materials from second brother.” w.a.n.g Yu nodded in agreement. This was his own father so how could he possibly reject him?

“Alright!” Old w.a.n.g turned to w.a.n.g Fei and said, “Second son, go and get me the materials you got for your brother!”

“Father, don’t do this to me…” w.a.n.g Fei almost cried out. w.a.n.g Yu only needed to do a few things on the workbench to forge a piece of equipment. He wouldn’t even spend much time doing so. However, the collection and gathering of the materials were the tough part… The same materials as the ones he got w.a.n.g Yu, do you know how much that cost?

“Or you’d rather help me forge?” Old w.a.n.g glared at him.

“Brother, please make me a blade too, a multipurpose one.” w.a.n.g Fei cried.

w.a.n.g Yu asked, “Oh? What other purpose do you want it to have?”

“One that can kill people and also kill myself.”

Everyone, “…”

…

Life at home was no longer the same as before. w.a.n.g Yu was naturally going to bring his wife to pay his grandfather a visit.

Ever since w.a.n.g Yu returned, Old w.a.n.g and w.a.n.g Fei had no choice but to stop playing their games for a while. They followed w.a.n.g Yu to pay a visit to their relatives’ house. After all, w.a.n.g Yu was of a certain status in the family. He would be disrespecting them if he didn’t even let them know that he got himself a wife.

The w.a.n.g Clan’s old man had already found out about w.a.n.g Yu so his att.i.tude towards Mu Zixian was much better than everyone else. As for w.a.n.g Yu’s uncles and their families, they were slightly at a loss for words when they found out that w.a.n.g Yu’s wife was an ordinary woman. However, since the old man didn’t say anything, their words wouldn’t mean much too.

On the second day, Mu Zixian brought w.a.n.g Yu, his parents and his brother back to her house in the city.

This was the first time the elders of both families met.

Mu Zixian had never discussed w.a.n.g Yu’s family background with her parents. However, her parents did meet w.a.n.g Yu before and they knew that w.a.n.g Yu was a very reliable person. They were rather satisfied with w.a.n.g Yu.

w.a.n.g Yu’s family was also quite low-profiled as they simply introduced themselves as people from the suburban district village.

Mu Zixian’s parents did not look at w.a.n.g Yu as though he was merely a ‘villager’s boy’. Instead, they looked at them as if to say ‘as long as the kids are happy’. Moreover, Mu Zixian’s father even patted Old w.a.n.g’s shoulder to say, “Brother, if you have any difficulty, you can just sound out. We can save on the money spent on the bridal gifts… We don’t need all that.”

Old Mu’s words made w.a.n.g Yu’s parents extremely ashamed of themselves. Just look at Mu Zixian’s parents…

…

On the third day back home, it was the esteemed father’s 100th birthday! This was a big event in the w.a.n.g Clan as well as the entire ring of martial artists.

Looking at how the ring of martial artists was declining at an increasing rate, every elderly was a treasure. As a hundred-year-old man like w.a.n.g Yu’s grandfather, he was basically a living dictionary for kung fu. An elderly of this level could be considered the Big Dipper among all pract.i.tioners of martial arts.

Therefore, this ceremony was not only for members of the big families. Every renowned martial artist and even the government received an invitation to this celebration.

100 years old… Even the government had to show some respect. Moreover, Grandpa w.a.n.g contributed to the compilation of teaching materials in the army…

Today could be considered the most crowded and lively day in the w.a.n.g Clan for over a hundred years.
