Celestial Peak 14 The genius known as Wang Ling V

The female noble was sent flying as Wang Ling's fist struck her straight to the face. She only flew five meters away and the force she received was mostly due to the fact Wang Ling dished out a counter hit, so Wang Ling's hit wasn't all that strong. As a matter of fact, it was actually really weak.

[Humph, what a barbaric woman.]

Wang Ling harrumphed and turned his back from the woman who was lying on the ground. He intended to leave as fast as possible, he didn't care who that noble was or what she'll do once she became sober. Wang Ling was sure that if she went to him looking for trouble, he will accept her with open arms and let her experience hell.

However, against what he had in mind. Trouble was coming faster than he had thought. The female noble who was originally lying motionless on the ground started moving and tried getting up.

Wang Ling who saw this actually had his eyes widened in shock. The female noble was actually resilient and tough? If she wasn't an asshole she would most likely have a good future ahead of her.

The female noble has a long hair that was now messy and stuck out all over the place. Her face was a mess and a distinct mark of a fist was visible on her right cheek. She glared at Wang Ling and pointed at him with trembling fingers.

"Y—you, a mere servant dare to hit a noble?!!? This may be the Wang family but do you think a servant is the master of this house? Even the dumb young miss of this place wil…!!"

Bang!!

A fist as fast as lightning and scary as thunder exploded howled at the female noble's direction. The next moment was fast and before the female noble could notice it, her feet had already left the ground and a piercing pain assaulted her body starting from her stomach.

She had difficulty breathing and crumpled down on the floor.

The female noble started screaming as she berated Wang Ling. Wang Ling was originally just to watch the monkey show she was performing but the instant she tried badmouthing a member of his family, he didn't hesitate to send a punch on her face one more time.

As the man who stood at the apex Wang Ling had a temperament position. He was calm, rational, decisive to a frightening extent, and cold blooded. He never acts on his emotion, but that was mostly because nothing really moved him other than his ambitions.

However, in this life it was different. He has a family this time and a caring one at that. When he first opened his eyes to this era he already pledged to the heavens that he will take his family to the peak together with him when he ascends. That means he recognize them as his own.

And to think that a foolish noble like this woman will dare utter such defaming terms about his sister? Dumb? The only dumb person here was her.

"I didn't want to deal with you so I let you off with a single punch but you really know how to push my buttons don't you? You actually dare to utter such nonsense about the young miss of my house?"

Wang Ling's voice was cold and indifferent. He looked at the female noble who was on the ground crumpled up like cooked prawn. Wang Ling noticed that she already lost her consciousness.

Wang Ling crouched on the floor to see if she was dead. Thankfully she was still breathing, albeit barely so he decided to leave her like this. Someone was bound to find her here anyway. So got ready to leave.

However, trouble seems to simply love Wang Ling as people who were attracted by the commotion started coming out of the banquet hall. They saw Wang Ling there about to leave and behind him was the female noble who was hurt on the ground.

"Hey, you, the servant over there! What happened to Miss Rain?"

A haughty looking male noble came out and immediately started demanding answers. Wang Ling sighed and thought that the era was cursed by arrogant young masters and young miss.

[Can't they talk with a normal tone of voice?] Wang Ling was disappointed that such people were not eradicated from the world just yet.

The haughty noble looked at Wang Ling full of questions on his eyes.

"Is someone a young master kin with you?"

Wang Ling ignored the question and asked them one instead. The ignored haughty young master's face became green from anger.

"Don't ignore me, servant boy! I am the one asking the question here, do you even know who I am? I am the First Young Master of the Hong family, how dare you ignore me!?"

The noble continued to scream and shout Wang Ling but Wang Ling paid him nor heed and just continued his piece.

"This girl is drunk and is a little injured because of her own stupidity so take her to the manor's clinic. If you don't want to take her to the clinic then go take her back to her home."

Wang Ling gave the nobles a rather loose but accurate description of what happened. He didn't want to associate with these haughty looking nobles so he wanted to get out of that place as soon as possible.

A man whose looks are elegant and refine walks out from the crowd of nobles. The man saw the female noble lying on the floor and rushed to her side without delay. The man placed her on his embrace and checked if there was any major injuries on her body with spirit qi.

After a short minute, he sighed a breath of relief after confirming that young miss rain suffered no injury. He then lifted his head to Wang Ling and said.

"I am the Kin she speaks of."

"So you're the young master Kin? Alright, I'll be going now, I still have things to take care."

"Wait, I wish to know what exactly happened. Miss Rain is not someone who gets into a fight easily so can you please tell me exactly what happened?"

Young master Kin seemed adamant to get an answer so he looked at Wang Ling in the eyes as if to convey his seriousness. Wang Ling looked at him and shrugged his shoulders and started explaining what happened.

Should he tell him the truth? It took him a while but in the end he decided to tell the truth of what transpired. Lying when the evidence was already seen is something that's a hassle and stupid, might as well face the problem head on and tell them what happened.

On top of that, he wasn't the one who started this whole thing but the noble called Rain.

"I was going back to my courtyard and I saw her wobbling all over the place…. She then called out to me and yelled at me…. She attacked and I retaliated…. She insulted Yue so I taught her a lesson. Alright, that's all I need to go back and sleep."

In more simple terms, he explained to them how he beat a drunk girl who tried attacking him and insulting the young miss of the Wang family.

Wang Ling finished explaining and those who were present was dumbstruck at what they had heard. This person who looked like he was a lowly servant claimed that he beat Miss Rain to such an extent?

All of them didn't believe the bullshits he was spouting, but Miss Rain was there lying unconscious and from what they could tell, what he's saying is correct. Miss Rain's face had the clear fist mark after all.

Soon, discussions arose. The whole banquet hall became noisier and noisier by the minute, and after minutes of loud discussions, the duel inside the banquet hall stopped and everyone was already outside trying to see what happened.

Wang Hong and Wang Yue were also attracted by the commotion going on outside. They took a peek as they were interested to see who was getting into a fight, but little did they know that the one who got into trouble was their older brother.

Wang Hong saw this and immediately wanted to get in between the nobles and resolve the matter but he was stop by Butler Sun who just got there.

"Why are you stopping me? Big brother is in trouble." He asked Butler Sun.

Butler Sun shook his head and tried to explain what he hand in mind.

"Just wait for a bit. The young master also needs this kind of conflicts. He's someone who already matured physically but has yet to mature mentally. The young master is not young anymore so we need to make use of this kind of situation and see how he will deal with certain problems and let him grow.

"Besides, the young master shouldn't grow up depending too much on other people. But just in case something really bad happens, I will go and take care of it."

Butler Sun explained what he was planning and Wang Hong who was listening tried to calm himself. From what he knew, Wang Ling was someone who had gained his awareness in a month.

If one think about it, other than being older physically, Wang Hong could be considered as the older brother in the eyes of many. What Wang Ling lacks is the maturity of the mind, at least that's how they see it.

Wang Yue who was also beside them was worried also worried. But she was reassure by Wang Hong and Butler Sun so her heart became calmer. However, the nervousness was still there.

"What did you say? She attacked you from behind? I know that Miss Rain's attitude when she's drunk is not that great but she will never attack anyone from behind without reason. Also, how dare a mere servant hit a noble?"

Wang Ling coughed and corrected young master Kin.

"That is incorrect, I am not a servant. Despite looking like this, the people of the Wang family refers to me as their First Young Master, my surname is Wang and my given name is Ling. I am Wang Ling of the Wang family."

Wang Ling introduced himself to the young nobles present.

Almost everyone exempting Wang Hong and the others had their chins almost touching the ground. So this servant looking guy was the First Young Master of the Wang family?

The arrogant noble from the Hong family who was calling Wang Ling servant over and over earlier felt depressed.

The power the Wang family holds inside the Azure Skies Kingdom was no joke. The Hong family and Wang family were both nobles in the Azure Skies Kingdom. But if they are mentioned in the same sentence, the Hong family is like an ant being compared to an elephant when it comes to prestige.

The young noble of the Hong family felt his cheeks burning after realizing who he was berating earlier. His face then went pale. He slowly merged with the crowd as he tried thinking of ways to make peace with the Wang family for calling their First Young Master a mere servant face to face and in front of a huge crowd.

As far as he was concerned. This may implicate his family so it would be best to settle this as quickly as possible.

Young master Kin looked at Wang Ling. He's the young master of the Wang family? The eldest child? What a blunder this is. He wanted to stop this argument now but the only way out now is to accept what Wang Ling had said about Miss Rain attacking him.

If that is to happen, Miss Rain's reputation will surely plummet. Also, he had been trying to woo Miss Rain. If he was to turn his back on Miss Rain to run and save his own hide, the other party will surely look down upon him.

In fact, not only Miss Rain would, but the entire Azure Skies will look at him with contempt. After all, his attempts to woo Miss Rain is not a secret and was a public matter. He can't have his name being known as someone who will abandon the woman he fancies.

"So what if you are First Young Master Wang? Miss Rain is a woman and you're a man, do you even know how a noble should carry himself? Is this what's being taught in the Wang family manor?"

Young master Kin wanted to keep his dignity intact but he can't exactly hurt Wang Ling so he went with a verbal one. From what he knew, Wang Ling only gain awareness for a month so how can he fight in a battle of words?

Other people thought the same. However, what they didn't know was that Wang Ling had fought in all kinds of battle, a verbal fight was nothing different.

"Don't use the man and woman excuse on me. You are a cultivator correct? So you must know that your gender doesn't matter in a battle. Woman or not, she tried to attack me so I retaliated, she even use spirit qi when I am someone who has yet to cultivate. Thankfully I mastered the Thunder Fist before coming here or else I'll be grievously injured by that woman…."

Wang Ling's answer was common sense. Sex and gender does not matter for a cultivator, if someone tries to harm you… kill them without mercy. Even if others don't want to follow such a conduct, this is still a fact.

Young master Kin wanted to say something back to rebuke what Wang Ling had said but to his dismay, Wang Ling was not done talking.

"Also, I already stopped when I gave her a single punch. She would've been fine and I wouldn't have given her another hit if she didn't say what she said next. She actually tried cursing my own sister in front of me so how can I stand still and let her run her own mouth. For her to actually berate a member of the Wang family household is nothing short of audacious.

"Humph, as for you, stop acting so biased just because you want to bed this lady. Act like a proper noble should, be proper and just. Stop thinking with your lower body and become an upright person, look at yourself barking like a dog talking about a gentleman's conduct when you can't even discern what is right from wrong."

Wang Ling's word was sharp and concise. He explained what happened in order and without fail. He even exposed what young master Kin is feeling and what is hidden beneath his words, making a fool out of the other party.

Young master Kin wanted to save face, that something impossible if he fights with Wang Ling. The other party was at a loss for words and became tongue tied.

The person in front of him was someone who just woke up this month? If he didn't already know about Wang Ling's previous circumstances he wouldn't believe such an absurd thing about him being a retard in the past.

How eloquent and quick thinking can this idiot be then? This is him after waking up for a month? Then what would happen if he's someone who is like other people who didn't suffer from his 'mysterious defect'?

Wang Ling noticed the way his face warp and shook his head.

"I, only giving her two hits was an act of mercy. Her actions were preposterous and her tongue was vile, if you want to make the same mistake as her I welcome you to do the same. Attack me like she did to preserve your face, you can do so in any manner, martial arts or a battle of words, I shall stand my ground."

Young master Kin dropped his head and bowed to Wang Ling after finding himself unable to refute any of the words he was thrown with.

He bowed and then said.

"I apologize for I have spoken without thinking things through. I am grateful for the mercy you have given to Miss Rain."

Young master Kin had no choice but to apologize. If he say anymore, then that would be paramount to taking on the Wang family for a single woman.

Wang Ling nodded his head as if accepting his apology and turned to look at the crowds. His eyes then met with Butler Sun who was well hidden in the crowds.

"Butler Sun!"

He called out, Butler Sun was surprise to know that Wang Ling actually knew he was hiding in the crowds and even managed to locate him amidst the sea of people. Wang Ling's perception ability is truly amazing.

He went down to Wang Ling's side and waited his commands.

"Assist young master Kin on taking care of young miss Rain. I need to sleep."

"Yes young master. Young master Kin, please follow me." Butler Sun went ahead and guided young master Kin to the clinic o care for Miss Rain.

After relaying his commands, left the banquet hall. His steps were unhurried and hi pace was unchanging. Many gaze at his back, they were in awe at the disappearing back of the dignified back of Wang Ling.

As Wang Ling disappeared from their sight, many contemplated about the incident. From what they knew about Wang Ling, he's someone who just woke up from a long unique slumber.

He was supposed to be weak, but if he was weak then how can he beat young miss Rain who's an earth root stage cultivator? He was supposed to be stupid, but if he was stupid then how can his words be so convincing and impressive?

Wang Ling was someone outstanding. This is a new fact everyone ingrained in their mind. If Wang Ling was already 'awake' since young, then he could be someone who is considered as a top-tier genius.
