Chapter 762: Pity On Every ParentTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Grandpa’s hundredth birthday was the most important event for the Wang Clan.
The majority of guests here were people from the ring of kung fu. Even though this wasn’t a big ring of people, the number of martial artists gathered from all across the country was still slightly more than the number of giant pandas left.
Moreover, there were many elderlies among them. There was no choice because the yellow autumn crop does not last until the green spring crop. The inheritance was broken and if it was a problem even in the four great martial arts families in the country, there was nothing to expect of the smaller sects.
All these elderlies were not some Tom, Dick or Harry. All of them were highly respected seniors and every one of them required the members of the Wang Clan to receive them personally.
Wang Yu was part of the main family in the Wang Clan and also the next successor of the Wang Clan, therefore, he was naturally not going to run away from this.
From the early morning, Wang Yu, his father and two uncles had started welcoming guests from all across the country. In just a few hours time, Wang Yu’s forehead started sweating profusely.
When it was finally about 11am, most of the guests arrived and it was going to be the feast after a series of birthday congratulations. Wang Yu was pulled by Old Wang to the entrance of the premier guest room.
When Wang Yu saw who was seated at the premier room, he turned awkward…
The people seated inside were all martial artists and those who were able to be seated inside the premier guest room would definitely be a leading figure of his time in terms of martial arts. Not only do they need to be excellent in their kung fu, but they also needed to have a significant background.
When Wang Yu was 18 years old, the level of his kung fu was already at the standard of a grandmaster. Moreover, he was the young master of the Wang Clan so he was definitely more than worthy to sit there.
Other than the two generations of Wang Clan masters as well as Wang Yu, there were also a few more seniors who were not much younger than Grandpa Wang.
However, Wang Yu was the most uneasy with the few people seated at the end of the table. They were the clan masters of the other three great families.
These three fellas were of the same age as Wang Yu’s uncle. The three white-haired elderlies were basically staring at Wang Yu.
After many years of practicing martial arts, Wang Yu was especially sensitive to murderous intent. Even though these three old fellas were not exuding much murderous intent, the pressure they were piling on Wang Yu made him feel really uncomfortable.
“Wang Clan’s young master is still as elegant as before ah. I wonder where you have been over the past half a year?”
At this moment, an old man with great beard stared and asked Wang Yu. This was the current clan master of the Li Clan, Li Wenhao. This fella’s temper was the same as his kung fu as they both gave the feeling of a mighty dragon.
Wang Yu replied with a slightly embarrassed look, “I went out to relieve some boredom.”
“Relieve boredom? My poor granddaughter didn’t have such great mood to do so… Ai…” Li Wenhao might be sighing but his tone was completely different. He clearly wanted an explanation from Wang Yu.
This was not because Old Li was a narrow-minded man who refused to let Wang Yu off. After all, a practitioner of martial arts knew the importance of showing respect.
To show off, Old Wang made a lot of claims and in the end, they stood someone up. Everyone was in the same martial arts circle and were all people of virtue and prestige. After being stood up like that, sitting there and speaking nicely proved that his self-discipline was indeed admirable.
“Indeed… My granddaughter got so angry that she left home and hasn’t returned in over half a year.” Another long eyebrowed old man scratched his beard as he said.
This old fella is Yang Nuo’s grandpa, Yang Daoyuan…
“Old Brother Wang, you cannot keep bullying the youngsters just because you’re insanely talented… My granddaughter says fortune was in the east of bank 30 years ago but turns to the west when 30 years have passed…” Chen Mingchuan from the Chen Clan spoke.
All these old fellas must have loved reading fantasy novels when they were young.
The three old fellas were sophisticated men with incredible amount of experience. The three of them spoke one after another about an inexperienced child-like Wang Yu such that Wang Yu no longer knew what to say.
Old Wang hurried to help smooth things over by saying, “Brothers, Little Yu is young and ignorant. If there’s any problem, you can come to me… ha…” “Young Brother Tianlong, you are still too young to throw your status around here.” Chen Mingchuan glanced at Old Wang and emphasised on the two words ‘young brother’ to put Old Wang back to his place.
Just when Wang Yu’s face turned incredibly red and at a loss for words, Grandpa Wang suddenly said, “Little Yu, go! Go sit with the young people.”
“This… Is this appropriate?” Wang Yu was pleasantly surprised.
“How is this not appropriate?! Hurry up and leave!” Grandpa Wang glared at Wang Yu and Wang Yu didn’t need a second invitation as he flew towards Wang Fei’s seat.
“Grandpa Wang, what is the meaning of this?”
Seeing how Grandpa Wang chased Wang Yu away, the other clan masters were evidently not very pleased with this arrangement. They no longer had anyone to vent their anger on.
Grandpa Wang’s temper was easily irritable and violent as he stared deadly at them. “You three b*stards better stop your nonsense! Are you trying to ruin my 100th birthday celebration?”
There weren’t many people who could call these three old fellas b*stards.
When they saw Grandpa Wang’s rage, the three of them shivered as they lightened up the mood. “You’ve misunderstood us! We were merely joking with Little Yu.”
“Joke your head! I’ve heard about everything so I cannot blame you guys for this. After the other guests leave, go to my Wang Clan’s martial arts depository. See if there is anything you like and see if I can pass this on to you guys,” Grandpa Wang replied.
When they heard the words ‘martial arts depository’, the eyes of the three old men and even the few other elderlies nearby lit up. When they heard the words ‘pass this on’, they were even more shocked.
Martial arts depository was where every sect kept their greatest martial arts study. Even though Wang Yu looked like he knew all kinds of martial arts, those were arts that were exchanged and shared among the great families. They were considered external kung fu and nobody would bring out the real essence to show others. One example was the Yang Clan’s Seven Star Steps. If Wang Yu hadn’t seen Yang Nuo do it, he would never have been able to master it.
Grandpa Wang said ‘pass on’ so this meaning was even clearer. From today onwards, they could pass on this martial art to their successor… To become a martial arts of their own clan, Grandpa Wang was indeed generous.
“Really?” The three old men were incomparably dumbfounded.
“Of course, since when have I spouted rubbish? However, the few of you shall not interfere with the kids’ matter anymore,” Grandpa Wang said with a serious tone.
“We get it, we get it,” the three old men answered hurriedly.
Even if Grandpa Wang forced them to keep their mouth shut, all they could do was to be angry in their hearts. However, Grandpa Wang even brought out his inheritance.
Of course, everyone had to be reasonable. Since Grandpa Wang used his inheritance in exchange, why would these three old men still continue to pester the kids over such matters?
However, it was quite miserable to see what Grandpa Wang had to do for his grandchildren. He was already so old but still had to wipe his grandson’s butt… A true pity for every parent in the world.
When Old Wang saw that Grandpa Wang stepped in to settle this matter using his inheritance, he heaved a great sigh of relief. He could not help but look at Wang Yu, who wasn’t far away and he looked anxious again.
