Celestial Peak

Chapter 32: First Time

Wang Shu Qing, a man who had reached great heights in terms of cultivation. Since young when he decided to travel the world to improve himself, he had experienced many things.

Life and death experience that can make any grown men fall into despair has been a part of his life since he was a teen. In all those times, one the greatest and biggest event that managed to make him shake and anxious was none other than the time when his first child was born.

At that time when his wife was pregnant with his first child. He had just moved to the Wang family manor of the Azure Skies Kingdom. At that time he was planning to live a life that will not bring harm to his kid until they reach adulthood or by the time the contract ends.

When his first child was born, he was so happy to hold his child in his arms that he cried. The joy he felt that day can never be described by words alone.

However, when his first child was born, he noticed something unusual. The child didn't cry nor did it make a sound after being born. Wang Shu Qing and his wife found this slightly baffling, but in the end they let go of the matter.

His words then was: "This is our child, Fei'er. However he turns out to be, I will accept for who he is."

Time passed and it was already two years after Wang Ling was born. His wife was pregnant with his second child and he was truly happy about this matter. But it was also at this time that he took notice of Wang Ling's peculiar condition.

It took a bit of testing the waters but Wang Shu Qing found out that Wang Ling was simply 'lifeless' and would stare off into the distance without doing anything.

Upon noticing that something was wrong with his son. Wang Shu Qing quickly called for great physicians and alchemist to have them look after Wang Ling's condition.

Many great physicians and alchemist came to their home. But no one gave them a definite answer as to what is happening to his beloved child. Wang Ling became someone useless who can do nothing but daze all day.

Other parents would be crushed and become depress about this matter while some will try to get rid of such a child. However, Wang Shu Qing stood by the words he spoke when he first held Wang Ling.

He accepted his son and loved him like a normal kid. When he come back from the south he will go and take care of his son together with his wife.

Time passed and he gained another child. It was the Second Young Master of his Wang family. He was as joyful when Wang Hong was born like he had been with Wang Ling. After Wang Hong was born and started cultivating, he also got a daughter he adopted.

His daughter was a shy, but sweet and caring. Although she was incapable of cultivating for some odd reasons. Wang Shu Qing loved her nonetheless.

His Second Son was once a coward and easily scared, but after going through tor training with the 'Shadows' for some time, he became a genius that stand above amongst his peers.

He had built a good family, but there was something missing. It was his first son who was suffering from that peculiar defect. All those years he had been trying to find a way to rouse Wang Ling's spirit up but failed.

Spending tremendous amount of resources for Wang Ling to become 'awake'. Wang Shu Qing had his personal men search the three continents and the central region. However, no matter what they did or what they him, nothing worked.

When he was just about to think of another method to treat Wang Ling, he received a sudden letter from Sun Wu. When he opened the letter he was not expecting anything big, but as he continued reading Wang Shu Qing secretly cried from happiness.

"Wang Ling has woken up!" his tears at that time seemed to fall with no intention of ending. The instant he received that letter he had the urge to ditch his duties and take his whole family to the central region.

Wanting to take Wang Ling to the central region and converse with him like he had always had in mind. In the near future, if Wang Ling appears in front of his mother after she leaves seclusion, which would be a wonderful surprise.

"Should I teach him the spear like I did with Wang Hong? Wait, what if Fei'er wants him to learn the bow instead? Wait, what if he's actually in the sword? Should I give him the full book of"

Wang Shu Qing at that time was already having the time of his thinking about the matters of his family in future with an idiotic smile on his face.

However, Wang Shu Qing chose to wait for two months until the contract ends. But who would've thought that he would receive another letter a month after Wang Ling's awakening that someone had tried to take his son hostage and had even severed one of Wang Ling's arms.

After receiving that letter from Sun Wu and learning about his son's circumstances. That day, he confirmed that his contract had severed by Sun Wu and on that day, he marched towards the Demon Blood Cult to exact revenge for his son that they have injured.

After that, Wang Shu Qing went back to the Wang family to check up on Wang Ling. But it turned out that Wang Ling was undergoing bloodline mutation so he had to make a trip to the Piercing Heaven Empire and ask the emperor to let him use it.

Back to the present, a lot of time had passed since Wang Shu Qing arrived in the Piercing Heaven Empire. Waiting for his son's eventual completed bloodline mutation, Wang Shu Qing has yet to return to the main house.

He had confirmed that Wang Yue had already been brought to the main house in the central regions but he had yet to make the trip there. His reason for this was that he wanted to leave the empire with his son.

In some spacious room in the mansion.

Wang Shu Qing patiently waited and today he had already received about the news of Wang Ling leaving the YingYang Forest with the Second Prince. Right now Wang Ling was just outside the mansion and was currently talking with the prince and princess of the empire.

At this moment he wanted to just run out and see his son's face and hear his voice, but he kept waiting inside the mansion instead.

"Shadow."

Wang Shu Qing said as a man clad in black suddenly appeared behind. From the man's attire, it was clearly a member of Sun Wu's Shadow Pavilion. Wang Shu Qing seemed to have noticed his arrival and asked.

"Have you accomplished what I told you to do?"

"We have procured twenty of the forty-six ingredients you have asked for us to get. The search for these ingredients are getting down with great efficiency."

"Good! Oh, did anyone managed to cook a meal? Ling'er is still in foundational phase of cultivation and needs a lot sustenance. We don't really need to eat but he still needs his daily sustenance."

"We have done what you have told us to and hunted for a [Regal Turtle] and [Harmony Deer]. One of our members who came with us have experience in cooking as she was trained in the Wang family manor so Grandmaster does not need to worry."

Wang Shu Qing nodded his head as that person who was member of the shadow disappeared from the background. As he waited anxiously for his son's entry, Wang Shu Qing hummed a tune.

While humming the tunes, his sharp ears heard a loud shout coming from outside.

-"First Young Master Wang Ling, your sword was the most exquisite and graceful sword I have ever laid eyes upon. Please, I implore you to take me in as your student and teach me the way of the sword."

It seems like someone was requesting to be taught by his son. Wang Shu Qing secretly extended his senses to see who was making this ruckus and saw a young lady kneeling on the floor.

Wang Shu Qing was startled at first to see the Second Princess kneeling on the floor but soon regained his focus. "Is Wang Ling's swordsmanship reached some sort of realm of mastery already? Did he achieved level-1 sword mastery yet?"

Wang Shu Qing looked at his son with a curious gaze. He watched the scenes unfold and by the end of it, Chang Ping was turned by Wang Ling saying he does not take students.

Chang Ping tried begging some more but Chang Yun stepped up just in time to pick her up from the ground so Wang Ling could enter the mansion and rest.

Wang Shu Qing saw this and said to himself, "It's time."

----

It was hard getting Chang Ping off from the ground on Wang Ling's request alone so Chang Yun had to step forward and deal with this embarrassing situation. Forcefully picking Chang Ping from the ground, Chang Yun bade Wang Ling farewell.

Wang Ling secretly said his thanks to Chang Yun as he observed his group away from the mansion. He smiled instinctively as he heard a familiar voice coming from afar: "Teacher Wang Ling! I will come and find you tomorrow!"

Chang Ping's loud and unyielding voice echoed at the streets as Wang Ling shook his head. That second princess of the empire was something else. The way she acted was nothing like royalty, she was more of a mischievous brat.

"This Second Princess is going to be trouble in the future." he mused as he turned around to the mansion. He stepped into the gates and headed for the mansion's ridiculously large door.

Wang Ling felt that someone had their senses spread out and was observing him with great interest. If this was the past, Wang Ling would already have his guards up.

But this time it was different. The senses observing him was gentle and wasn't exuding any kind of ill intent. Wang Ling was longing and felt warmth for the person who possessed this senses.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Ling entered the mansion.

Upon entering he saw a man calmly standing in the middle of the wide space of the front hall. Wang Ling looked at this man and saw his pair of black eyes. He knew who this person was so he quickly bowed and greeted:

"Wang Ling greets Father."

Wang Shu Qing gazed at his son who was standing in front of him and his heart trembled as his body shuddered with joy.

[I have finally got the chance to hear his voice.]

Wang Shu Qing's heart was filled with joy.
