Chapter 758: Going Home

Mu Zi Xian’s words were not completely illogical. Fearless happened to be the second category of players who had true ability. Although the players from Quan Zhen Sect were not individually better than their potential opponents, they were able to rely on their superior teamwork to carve out a chance at victory. The incident at Void Blade was a good example of this.
Besides, Wang Yu was more than capable of matching professional experts. It was not an exaggeration for Wang Yu to be able to contend with half an opposing team on his own. Thus, there was still a chance of winning the National Championships.
Mu Zi Xian did not have any grand ambitions. Being an ordinary team, if they could win the National Championships, the winnings would be more than enough to tide them through.
However, Wang Yu adamantly said, “Why stop at the National Championships? Let’s aim for the World Championships.”
“The World Championships is not as easy as you think.” Mu Zi Xian was flabbergasted.
There was more than one country that was involved in esports. The players from Europe and the Americas were also quite formidable. Even within the Asia region, Korea was a perennial rival of China in esports.
It was not the case that the few million players based in China could not rival the barely few hundred thousand players in Korea. This was largely so because there was a threshold for the quota of national players. The domestic competition in China was extremely intense. Each fight was equivalent to a full-blown war. It was hard to pick out any clear cut winners as all the top teams were evenly matched. Therefore, luck played a very crucial role in the fine margins that differentiated the winners from the losers.
The World Champions would definitely possess both true ability and luck. This esports competition was almost reaching its thirtieth edition but China had only won it only seven times. Compared to the proportion of the player base of China compared to the entire player base, China was expected to have had won the competition more times. Wang Yu was even thinking of leading a team of ordinary players to the World Championship. This thought was indeed preposterous.
“It is good that there is some difficulty. This is an opportunity to challenge myself!” Wang Yu smiled faintly. He words belied a strong sense of self-belief. Mu Zi Xian saw the confidence that Wang Yu exuded and was delighted.
At times, a woman’s requirement for a man was quite simple. Mu Zi Xian did not expect Wang Yu to make a great career for himself. She just wanted to see that Wang Yu was a man who strived hard after his goals. That was all that she needed to feel contented.
When the train arrived at its destination, it was already a little over one in the early morning. The Wang Family was not situated within the city but in the village. Both rested in a hotel nearby the train station before continuing on their journey at the break of dawn.
The Wang Family did not open a martial arts school. There was a calming sense of tranquility within the Wang Family home as compared to the hustle and bustle of the city. The Wang Family home was so remote that the taxi driver originally thought he had heard the place wrongly. He turned on his GPS and then realised such a village existed.
What surprised the taxi driver was even though the location was pretty remote, the road infrastructure was actually well developed There was a wide asphalt paved road that led straight to the Wang Village. This was an eye-opener for the taxi driver.
This road was naturally constructed by the Wang family.
Looking at the scenery on the way, Mu Zi Xian was filled with emotions. She felt as though they had left not long ago but yet were back so soon.
Just as the car passed by one signage stating, “No unauthorised people allowed from here.” Wang Yu gestured to the taxi driver, “You can just stop here.”
“Here?” The taxi driver was a little bewildered. This was still within the wilderness.
“Hmm!” Mu Zi Xian paid the fare and both got down the taxi. As they crossed the warning sign, they disappeared within the woods…
Seeing this scene in broad daylight, the driver was taken aback. He quickly looked into his hands to confirmed that the money was still there. He made a turn sharply and sped off in the distance.
Navigating through the jungle, Wang Yu finally saw the Wang Family Village.
Outside the Wang Family Village laid a moat, with a bridge built across the moat facing the village entrance.
An old man sat on the bridge under the sun and as he saw Wang Yu walking by, he said solemnly, “This is private property, not a tourist scenic spot. You are forbidden here. Go back to where you came from.”
The voice of the old man was not loud but it resounded clearly in the eyes of Wang Yu and Mu Zi Xian. Hearing the old man’s words, he had probably not recognised the two before him.
“Uncle Ming, it’s me!” Wang Yu said in high spirits.
“?” The old man that was called by Wang Yu turned towards them and was momentarily confused. He squinted his eyes and took another look at Wang Yu, rubbing his eyes and wondered, “Third Elder Wang? Is it really you? Why are you back?”
Wang Yu had two elder male cousins and female cousins. According to the customary hierarchy of males in the family, Wang Yu was similar to his father and was ranked third in line…
“It is indeed me… My grandfather is celebrating his hundredth birthday so I have come back home,” Wang Yu replied with a tinge of embarrassment in his voice.
Leaving home was never a matter to be proud of. Appearing at home midway gave the wrong impression that Wang Yu could not fend for himself outside.
“It is really you, you little scoundrel. Why did you not use the main road?” Uncle Ming with a hint of exasperation in his voice. “The forest at the back is a place of good Feng Shui, stepping on it will bring bad luck.”
Wang Yu smiled back meekly, “Because it is much closer… It was not easy for me to bring my family here. Please do not report this matter.”
Only authorised vehicles that belonged to the Wang Family could go directly to the Wang Family home. Otherwise, the vehicles would need to take a much longer route.
At this moment, Uncle Ming saw the woman behind Wang Yu and his face darkened, “Who are you? You know we have rules in this household.”
As a prominent family in the martial arts circle, the Wang Family had countless enemies. Unless they belonged to the Wang Family, otherwise everyone else was prohibited entry. Even people in the martial arts required a prior invitation to gain entry.
“This is my wife. She is not an outsider,” Wang Yu explained.
Mu Zi Xian also followed up with a greeting, “Uncle Ming”.
“You have a wife?” Uncle Ming stated with amazement, “When did you even get married? How come I don’t know anything about this?”
Wang Yu held a high status in the Wang Family and people were already extremely concerned with his usual affairs, much less about marriage.
“Only the country needs to know.” Wang Yu flashed out his marriage certificate and chuckled.
“…”
“Can we go in now?” Wang Yu inquired.
“Do you want me to inform your father?” Uncle Ming whipped out a cell phone that felt out of place with the image he portrayed.
This old man was quite progressive and modern. His cell phone was comparatively a newer model than what the two youngsters had.
“There is no need to! I want to give him a surprise,” Wang yu replied and pulled Mu Zi Xian into the village.
