"Father?!!" Everyone in the Quan Zhen Sect almost had their eyeb.a.l.l.s fly out as they asked in shock, "He really is your father?"
"Replacement guaranteed if I am not genuine!" Old w.a.n.g replied in excitement, "Why? Do we not look alike?"
"Ah?" Everyone started replying promptly, "Look alike! You two look pretty alike… But your hairstyle and ID are slightly more arrogant than Old Bull"s ones." None of the people here was an idiot so who would dare to say that they don"t look alike? The combination of this father and son was enough to deal with everyone in this shop.
At this moment, Yang Nuo finally reacted, "No wonder I find you so familiar. It"s you!"
To be honest, Old w.a.n.g and w.a.n.g Yu looked pretty similar. The same tall and st.u.r.dy figure, a squarish face shape, thick eyebrows, big eyes and heroic spirit. The only difference was that Old w.a.n.g chose the Orcs clan. The green skin and sharp tooth covered the majority of his face and with that red hair, n.o.body would ever imagine that this old fella would be w.a.n.g Yu"s father.
"Tsk! Firing after the horse…" The Quan Zhen Sect started looking at Yang Nuo disdainfully.
"Oh? You"ve seen me before?" A curious Old w.a.n.g turned to look at Yang Nuo.
Yang Nuo replied, "I"ve seen you when I was little." Old w.a.n.g was the leading scholar of his time in terms of martial arts. Currently, the martial arts social circle was only this big. Even though Old w.a.n.g wouldn"t recognise a small character like Yang Nuo, Yang Nuo was also a pract.i.tioner of martial arts so it wasn"t surprising that she would have seen him before.
"Oh? You are?" Old w.a.n.g was slightly taken aback.
"My surname is Yang!" Yang Nuo replied, "You and my grandfather have competed before."
"Aiya! You came looking for w.a.n.g Yu because you saw the video too?" Old w.a.n.g questioned.
"No, no, no." Yang Nuo explained, "I"ve been playing this game with them for a long time now…"
"Eh? This little b*stard…" Old w.a.n.g scratched his lower chin as he was completely at loss now.
"Erm… So why are you here?" w.a.n.g Yu was fearful that Old w.a.n.g would continue asking so he asked anxiously.
"If it ain"t because of you!" Old w.a.n.g pointed at the stool beside him before ordering w.a.n.g Yu, "Go and have a seat!"
w.a.n.g Yu walked over without saying anything.
Old w.a.n.g continued, "So young and you"re openly challenging someone now? Do you know their Old Li has complained to me about it? I saw the video and immediately got your brother to create an account for me."
"I didn"t do it on purpose… Someone else recorded that." w.a.n.g Yu explained.
Old w.a.n.g waved his hand, "I don"t care who is the one who recorded it. If you are the one who was getting beaten up in the video, I will break your leg immediately!"
The Quan Zhen Sect exclaimed in their hearts, "Wow… This old man is so protective of his children…"
Yang Nuo was confused because he should be secretly celebrating the fact that his clan won the other clan. However, he should be celebrating at home and not shouting it out loud here. If words spread out, how was he going to explain himself?
"You"re not here to pursue on this matter?" w.a.n.g Yu replied as though a weight was off his mind.
"Of course! Old man is here to find you." Old w.a.n.g replied in a stern tone, "Where have you been for half the year?"
Everyone in the Quan Zhen Sect started paying close attention to this conversation… Other people family matters make the best gossip.
"I was just wandering around…" w.a.n.g Yu answered.
"Are you not afraid of starving to death?" Old w.a.n.g was furious because n.o.body understood his son better than he did. Old w.a.n.g knew the kind of education w.a.n.g Yu was given as he grew up and he knew how his son was like. He was never someone who could make it big by muddling along in society.
However, he had no choice because martial arts were wilting with each pa.s.sing day. Generations after generations were getting worse and a sincere talent was needed to be able to reach the highest realm of martial arts. w.a.n.g Yu was a rare talent who would appear once every thousand years so Old w.a.n.g was naturally hoping to nurture him into a milestone-like figure.
Who knew that things would move in the opposite direction when they reach an extreme? w.a.n.g Yu was no different from a kid trying to survive in the harsh reality of society. Even though Old w.a.n.g sounded angry, such considerations were always in his mind.
"I almost starve to death but this is also why I"m gaming now…" w.a.n.g Yu answered honestly.
"..."
When a father hits a son, it is because he cares for him. Usually, Old w.a.n.g would be driven mad by w.a.n.g Yu because of how he always embarra.s.sed him but today when he heard that w.a.n.g Yu almost starved to death, it was evident that his body moved twitched a little.
Following that, Old w.a.n.g lowered his voice, "So are you eating well now that you"re gaming?"
"En! At least I will not starve to death…" w.a.n.g Yu lowered his head.
"Alright, I shall not pursue anything that happened in the past. Once you"re done playing, hurry up and head back home." Old w.a.n.g sounded calmer than before now.
w.a.n.g Yu replied, "I will discuss with my wife and find time…"
"Wife?" Old w.a.n.g"s voice was raised abruptly and it frightened the wits out of the Quan Zhen Sect…
"Since when did you get married? Why do I not know about it?" After a while, Old w.a.n.g turned to Yang Nuo and said, "Wow, what a woman. Doing one thing under the cover of another… I admire you!"
"What? What are you blabbering about?" w.a.n.g Yu called out for Old w.a.n.g, "She is not my wife…"
"?" Old w.a.n.g"s eyes were widened yet again, "If she is not the one, then who is? Li clan? Or the Chen clan?"
Old w.a.n.g came over to drag w.a.n.g Yu back. Since he had already lost his pride, he should at least have something to account for himself. Even if he got married, to either one of the children from these four families, this matter wouldn"t be an issue.
"None of them…" w.a.n.g Yu"s head was at an all-time low.
"Oh? Really?" Old w.a.n.g furrowed his brows and asked, "Bring her out for me to have a look!"
Actually, when w.a.n.g Yu revealed Old w.a.n.g"s true ident.i.ty, Mu Zixian had already received the news. Mu Zixian was also aware that hiding forever was not the way to go and that something had to be explained in real life. Confronting Old w.a.n.g face to face was something she knew she had to go through.
Just as Old w.a.n.g"s voice was heard, Mu Zixian brought Li Xue and the four girls into the shop.
"Wow! So many? You"re so much stronger than me…" Old w.a.n.g exclaimed and everyone couldn"t help but frown at his comment.
"I only have one…" w.a.n.g Yu walked over to Mu Zixian as he held onto Mu Zixian"s hand. Mu Zixian looked sincerely into w.a.n.g Yu"s eyes.
Looking at Mu Zixian, Old w.a.n.g started scowling fiercely again, "You are his wife?"
"En! Father, hi there…" Mu Zixian spoke in a soft tone.
Old w.a.n.g, however, raised his voice, "Since when have I acknowledge you? Who are you to address me as your father!"
Old w.a.n.g"s words made the entire scene extremely awkward. Even the people at the neighbouring table turned around to listen.
Mu Zixian, "..."
Everyone else, "..."
This wasn"t a surprise because no matter who s.n.a.t.c.hed his precious son"s heart, he wouldn"t feel good about it. If Mu Zixian was a man, Old w.a.n.g might even get into a fight.
"Mister Bull, why don"t we go back to our guild headquarters to talk things out? Gossips might spread since there are so many people here." Fearless noticed the awkward atmosphere so he gave a suggestion.
If this old man started beating his son up, everyone here was friends so they could take it as a joke. However, Old Bull"s flare towards Mu Zixian in public was not something the Quan Zhen Sect wished for. As w.a.n.g Yu"s friend, Fearless was undoubtedly not going to let w.a.n.g Yu"s family matters end up on the forum tomorrow.
