Celestial Peak

Chapter 98: A drama before leaving

Wang Ling opened his eyes and was about to get up and call for Bai Xue in the next room. The two separated as soon as they entered the house so Wang Ling had to get up to get her.

But that didn't seem to be a necessity as Wang Ling felt the familiar warmth and softness that was on top of his lap. He looked down and saw Bai Xue's peaceful sleeping face who had no care about her image.

Shaking the little white fox a little bit, Bai Xue grumbled as she turned over and covered herself with her tail, "Later, do that again and I'll beat you up."

Bai Xue threatened but Wang Ling did not really care and shook her once again. Bai Xue opened her eyes and attempted to give Wang Ling a sneak slap on the face with her little tail. She wanted to punish him for waking her.

But Wang Ling got the march on her as his finger had already flicked her little forehead.

"Stop acting like a child and act your age." Wang Ling got up and Bai Xue hatefully turned her head over to the side. But because her 'seat' was on top of Wang Ling's shoulders that she could not hold that anger longer than three seconds.

"So, what is the oh-so-important thing we are going to do today?"

"I'm heading to the main house of my family. I have never been there before and I am slightly interested in it."

"Slightly? Don't give me that shit, you're basically itching to go there. Never mind your hypocrisy, so, where is that place? You never really told me where it was."

Wang Ling and Bai Xue conversed as they walked out of the house. Taking out a map of the central region as he was approaching the door. Wang Ling saw the 10 domains of the central region and pointed at the one named [Frost Domain].

"A land where frost reigns supreme? Shishi, that's my territory. Hey, did I ever told you how I killed the White Lord Wolf back when I was in the Heaven Realm? No? Well, it basically went like this"

While Bai Xue was eagerly telling her tales of glory. Wang Ling head out and as he opened the door, he saw three beautiful ladies just about to knock on his doors.

Being quite surprised about their sudden appearance. Wang Ling was taken aback and Bai Xue was made to stop talking. The three girls were also surprised but they soon regained their own composure soon after Wang Ling did.

Wang Ling was going to ask them what their reason for coming. But before he could even utter a word. The three girls got on their knees and have their heads touched the cold floor. The lady in the middle started to speak with a shaky voice.

"Good meeting you First Young Master Wang Ling, my name is Aiane Evergreen of the Evergreen Clan. First of all, please let me apologize for my inability to recognize you soon after meeting you."

Wang Ling was too surprised to say anything back to the prostrating Aiane and the other elves. Why was the second placer of the third examination grounds prostrating herself to him?

Wang Ling had no idea. But her first words gave him the idea that she knows of his identity. As to how she knew of it must have something to do how the Nature Extension Pill was created.

Rubbing his glabella with his index finger, Wang Ling made the elves rise, "Stand up, this act is too much for an early activity. I have no time for dealing with this and I don't have any intention of doing so. Regarding the Evergreen Clan, it should be a clan that is under my Wang family correct?"

Wang Ling questioned and Aiane stood up and nodded her head to answer his question.

"The Evergreen Clan is one of the Clans that was saved by the War God Queen. My Clan has been acting as one of its loyal followers, so, the First Young Master of the Wang family is one of the most revered personages of the Evergreen Clan. We were thought to treat them the same as we treat the Clan Head."

Aiane looked at Wang Ling in all seriousness. She was younger than Wang Ling and was supposed to be stronger than him. But as he was the First Young Master of the Wang family, her position doesn't matter.

She also does not have an issue regarding Wang Ling being higher than her in terms of position, so it all worked out.

Wang Ling saw the reverie in Aiane's eyes and felt his head experiencing an even sharper pain.

[Why is my family so popular? Are they so nice that they are revered by everyone to the point they will grovel at my feet?]

Wang Ling was going to meet his family in the Frost Domain and now, he was having an uncertain image of his family building up in his head.

Although he was aware of Wang Hong's and Wang Yue's behavior, there are many things he had yet to know about his own family.

This made Wang Ling itch to leave. After rubbing his glabella and temple a couple of times to calm himself down. Wang Ling became calm and collected. He looked at Aiane and started addressing the issue with her.

"Alright, I do not wish to look arrogant but I must leave the academy now. Although it is true that I just entered, I must return as it was the orders of my father. You three should stop bowing at me, especially for you, Miss Aiane, you are the strongest of the elves here after all."

Wang Ling stopped and took a deep breath. He went ahead and started talking after a while, "I should be leaving now, the travel to the Frost Domain is not going to be easy. As for you three, focus on your cultivations and reach a top place in this academy while I am away. I should be returning in a few months.

Wang Ling stopped talking about the matter and went pass the elves. But he stopped midway to his steps he then asked Aiane for one tiny little favor as a smile appeared on his face and a plan surfaced in his mind.

=====

Wang Ling got out of the situation with Aiane and reached the Thundergod Academy's transportation arrays. He went up and waited as there was a queue going on.

It was already noon and he was not the only one wanting to get out of the academy. Those around him were mostly going out to complete a mission that was set to be accomplished in different domains.

They wanted to be quick with the travels so it was very convenient to have a teleportation array everywhere you want. However, as this teleportation array was not perfect, it could only send you to a general location like a domain.

Although this may sound pretty good. The probability of being sent to your enemy's lair was likely. So to avoid this, the students were transported in a distant hub located in mostly barren locations of the domains.

There were various hubs scattered throughout the entire central region. Wang Ling reached the front of the queue and he was made to pay 500 points each for him and Bai Xue before they could leave.

Wang Ling stepped into a platform that had various runes and a ton of stellar stones lined up to create a formation. Standing in the middle of the platform. Wang Ling bathed in the light of the teleportation array as he was sent away into the hub of the Frost Domain.
