The Human Emperor (1-200)

C40: An Act of Wonderment

“Good child, good child, you have truly grown mature! …”

Wang Chong’s mother was surprised and delighted. She was so agitated that she had to keep on wiping away the tears that were streaming down her face. Without even looking, she could tell that her son’s performance had won the approval of all members of the Wang Clan.

She had four children, three sons and a daughter, and of which, she worried the most for her youngest son.

Which mother doesn’t wish for their own son to become accomplished? Isn’t this what all mothers dream of?

At this very moment, her child had finally grown up and matured. This was something she felt relieved and delighted over.

“After that?”

Big Uncle Wang Gen asked. His voice was no longer as stern as before

Clearly, Wang Chong’s words had moved him, and the impression of the useless Wang Chong in his mind had changed completely.

“I’ve studied the lands by the borders and there weren’t too few things that Yao Guang Yi could manipulate to his advantage. For one, my father could simply ignore his moves, and that would render his helpless. At the same time, it was nearly impossible for Yao Guang Yi to make a move on his campsite as well. Thus, the most probable possibility was through the Hu.”

Wang Chong said. His gaze was bright and calm, and as he spoke, he exuded the aura of a sage. Seeing this sight, those who were familiar with him were astonished.

They had watched Wang Chong as he grew up, and they had never seen such a quality on him.

“This child has finally grown up.”

Big Aunt Wang Ru Shuang thought as she nodded her head in approval within. She was delighted with his changes. Previously, when she heard that Wang Chong had caused a huge trouble in the Vast Crane Pavilion, she was extremely infuriated. She felt that this child was too immature and would never grow up.

But now, she did not dare to harbor such thoughts anymore.

“They said that even the most mischievous and unworthy boys would awaken one day. Looks like Chong-er had finally woken up.”

Big aunt was overjoyed.

Even though she had married into another family and she could only be considered as half a Wang Clan member, she and her husband shared a fate with the Wang Clan.

The youngest and most unworthy son of the Wang Clan had suddenly awoken, and furthermore, he showed outstanding talents. This was something for the Wang Clan to celebrate over.

“I have analyzed the matter carefully, and this was the most possible tactic Yao Guang Yi would use. If I guessed wrongly… I won’t talk about that. But if I guessed correctly, Yao Guang Yi would surely leave the capital soon to head for the borders, and facts had proven that my conjecture is right!”

At this moment, he should have passed their test. Looking at big uncle’s expression, it seemed like he was satisfied with the results of this interrogation. This way, he would be able to explain the situation to grandfather as well.

However, Wang Chong knew that this level of contribution wasn’t sufficient to receive the approval of all members of the clan. In fact, it wasn’t even enough for him to enter the core of the clan.

At the very most, he had only reversed the impression big uncle, big aunt, uncle, father, and the rest had of him. If he wanted them to respect his opinion, he still needed to display his talent openly and show more of his capabilities!
