Chapter 11 The genius known as Wang Ling II (1/2)

Wang Ling returned his courtyard after talking to Wang Hong and Butler Sun. But because of his situation where he couldn't really cultivate and create qi pillars, all he ever did was meditate for a while before getting called to eat lunch.

At around 1 o'clock in the afternoon Wang Ling entered the dining room of the Wang family and there he saw a weird scene.

The whole dining area was silent and Wang Yue had one book on one hand and was really focused on reading. Her attention was not getting away by anyone.

Wang Hong was sitting right beside her. He was constantly looking at Wang Yue as if he wanted to talk. He was like an awkward older brother trying to get the attention of his sister.

However, after trying and failing to get Wang Yue's attention from the book she was holding. Wang Hong chose to give up trying. He then noticed Wang Ling watching the whole thing play out by the door and could not help it and avert his eyes before laughing it off.

Wang Ling sat on an empty chair and waited for the food. While he was waiting, he found Wang Yue was still reading her book so he told her off.

”Yue, you should stop reading for a while.”

It was just a simple sentence and not really an order but Wang Yue immediately dropped what she was doing and silently waited for the food to arrive like an obedient child. She was swinging her foot back and forth as she sat there without doing much.

Wang Hong noticed this and could help but feel a little hurt.

Why do you only respond to him? Am I not your older brother too?

Wang Hong wanted to cry for being left out by her sister but because he wanted to keep a certain amount of dignity and face, he kept his tears from flowing. Wang Ling sighed after seeing this.

The two sibling doesn't seem to have much bond with one another. He could understand why though. Wang Hong was practically an outsider. He was someone who trained in the house of their mother's family and would only return from time to time.

From what he heard, Wang Hong rarely returns unless there was an urgent matter at hand. Like if he needed to talk with their father then he will go back home. But if there's nothing like that, he will rarely go back here.

[This seems like it's going to be a headache.]

Wang Ling rubbed his glabella as a headache started to appear. The three siblings didn't really talk to one another and right until the food arrived and they started eating, the table was awfully quiet.

Soon, Wang Ling finished eating. He was the lightest of eaters of the three siblings. Mostly because he was someone who doesn't need to consume much energy. On the other hand, the two pair of brother and sister was still eating away.

The little girl was matching the pace of Wang Hong's pace of eating, meat for meat. If Wang Ling didn't know any better, he would've believed that Wang Yue was the one cultivating and not Wang Hong.

Shaking his head, Wang Ling stood up from the dining table and got ready to leave. He was just about to call for Butler Sun when he heard Wang Hong calling for him.

”Big brother, wait a moment, I need to ask you something.”

Turning around, Wang Ling beckoned him to speak what was on his mind.

”Um, can I ask how you spoke to littler sister Yue?”

Wang Ling almost laughed out loud when he heard this. The macho looking cultivator had no means to talk to his own sister? Now that's something he found entertaining. Alas, he didn't had the time to watch Wang Hong so he just gave him some advice.

”Just talk to her about spirit plants. She's also close to mother, you should talk to her about these two things and you'll be able to talk to her naturally.”

Wang Hong nodded his head when he heard Wang Ling.

”I don't really have that much story concerning mother but I am knowledgeable about spirit plants. Oh, what is the best topic she likes? Does she have any preference when it comes to spirit plants?”

”There's nothing really, but I suggest you talk about spirit plants that's higher than a tiered spirit plant. It would be best if you can talk about a Ranked spirit plant. Oh, don't startle her by being too nosy, take it easy. Also, instead of worrying about this, you should worry about your cultivation, I read a lot of books about talented cultivators who ended up becoming trash after not working hard enough.”

With that piece of advice, Wang Ling left the dining area and went to talk to Butler Sun. Butler Sun was just outside the dining hall. Seems like he intentionally went outside to give the Wang siblings some space so they can talk.

That didn't end up so well though.

”Young master, you're already finished? Are you going back to your courtyard now?”

Wang Ling shook his head.

”Can I ask for a sword? A set of sword technique our family cultivate will also be good. Now that I decided to cultivate, I want to practice some sword techniques to increase my fighting capabilities.”

Wang Ling spoke with utmost innocence. His words sounded so innocent that it made others thing that what he was talking about was what he learned from a book. It was like seeing a grown up getting influenced by a book really.

However, Wang Ling had different thoughts. He wanted to practice sword techniques because he wanted to show his family that he has strength to protect himself. As for the reason why he wanted to practice on his family martial art rather than his superior techniques.

It was because he was someone who supposedly woke up from a deep slumber. Even if he wanted to act dumb that he's someone who has a hidden master who gave him some ancient sword technique, Wang Ling couldn't do that.

His mind was supposed to be asleep and didn't have any kind of awareness so where in the world would he get a sword technique out of the blue? With that in mind, Wang Ling chose to practice the sword technique of his family.

If he can use the Wang family sword technique as a front then it wouldn't really be a problem for him to cultivate another sword technique he wants to cultivate. Wang Ling already had a map of what he was going to do in this eight days of qi pillar restoration,

Butler Sun went ahead and complied with Wang Ling's request after hearing what he wanted. He was someone who does things quickly and efficiently, soon enough, even before Wang Ling could return to his courtyard, Butler Sun was already there waiting for him.

Was he a ghost?

A passing thought appeared.
