Chapter 695. Wang Ping’s Request (2/2)
Wang Ping silently pondered. After a long time, he faintly smiled. His eyes were bright as he asked, “Dad, is this the compensation for not letting me cultivate?”
Wang Lin looked at Wang Ping and slowly said, “Yes.” His gaze went over Wang Ping and fell into the distance outside the window. In a place where Wang Ping couldn’t see, there was a hint of sadness in Wang Lin’s eyes.
This sadness was so strong, so strong that no one knew. Wang Lin couldn’t reveal this secret no matter what, even though he knew that Wang Ping had buried his wish to cultivate along with a trace of resentment toward him.
“Ping Er, it is not that Father doesn’t want you to cultivate, but.. It’s just… you can’t cultivate…” Wang Lin sighed in his heart. The sadness became even stronger…
Wang Ping slowly asked, “Dad what is wealth?”
Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and calmly asked, “What kind of wealth do you want?”
“Dad taught me that a person should walk against the heavens and not be pressured by the world. Meet a mountain, climb over it; meet a river, go through it; meet an ocean, cross it; and never give in to the world. Since Father doesn’t want me to cultivate, then I want to become supreme ruler amongst mortals!” Wang Ping looked at this father.
“If you want to, you can!” Wang Lin closed his eyes.
Wang Ping had grown up. Under Wang Lin’s influence, he gradually gained his own beliefs and views on the world. He was no longer the child that always listened to his father; he now had his own thoughts and ideals.
Wang Ping looked at his father and whispered, “I don’t want to be a supreme ruler that is handed to me, I want to obtain it myself!”
Wang Lin calmly said, “Yes…” He waved his right hand and a shadow walked out from behind him and then walked into Wang Ping’s shadow.
“With this, you can do anything on planet Ran Yun.” Wang Lin got up. He didn’t look back at Wang Ping as he walked out of the study. His back looked a bit crestfallen.
Wang Ping opened his mouth and seemed like he wanted to say something. However, in the end, he couldn’t say it out loud and could only silently ask in his heart, “Father, you can give me everything, so why… won’t you let me cultivate… Ping Er doesn’t want to cultivate for himself but for… The promise from back then… In order to accompany you forever… Father, you are so lonely… But why…”
As Wang Lin stood in the courtyard under the moonlight, his shadow was stretched very long. He turned to his own room, lied down on his bed, and softly said, “One day you will understand. However, I hope that day will come slower. In fact, I hope you never find out why…”
That night, Wang Ping didn’t sleep.
Three days later, a person arrived in Vast Water City. This person was wearing a black coat and looked rather old. After he arrived at Vast Water City, he went to the Sun family branch.
All of the cultivators in the Sun branch family had come out to greet this cultivator. Even though they had already guessed that the person who would come must be a Soul Transformation cultivator, when the three elders saw who came, they all gasped and became even more respectful.
“Greetings, Vice Family Head!”
This person was Sun Qiming. Because of Wang Lin’s matter, his status in the family had increased. Also, his cultivation had already reached the late stage of Soul Transformation, so he was promoted by Sun Xi to become the next family head.
Sun Qiming didn’t speak any nonsense and directly asked, “Where is the person?” These people in the family didn’t know the meaning of being able to break a core with just one gaze, but he was well aware. Even though he could do it, he couldn’t cause three Nascent Soul cultivators to retreat with just one step without using any spells.
This kind of thing could be explained if a spell was used; however, if what the jade said was true and no spell was used, then this kind of thing could only done by an old monster at the Ascendant stage. It was absolutely impossible for an ordinary cultivator to do this.
