Wang Ping

Cheng Huan told how he became the village head of the Lan Shan village.

Tian Jian, with a happy and proud tone, "Father, at that time, you must be very happy, Right?"

Cheng Huan noticed, his son was very much proud of him, so he, with a sigh,

"Son, You thought that becoming village Head was one of my greatest accomplishments, right? But all this status comes with a cost that I don't want to bear, but I am also helpless, and sometimes others may seem like you have everything that they could have hope for, but only you know what you have lost?"

Cheng Huan's words sound like he lost something in return to became a Village Head.

"Father, don't you want to be head of Lan Shan Village?" Tian Jian asked with disbelief.

Cheng Huan with, complicated emotions, said, "Son, Maybe I want or maybe not, but after I became Village head, I lost something, and because of that, I always question myself, is it worth, to became village head at the cost of what I have Lost?"

"Father, What did you lose?" Tian Jian asked delicately.

Cheng Huan with, a dull voice, said, "Son, I think you know about Wang Shun, right?"

"Yes, so what about him?" Tian Jian is startled why his father brought Wang Shun's name.

"Son, You only know about Wang Shun, But don't know about Wang Shun's father, Wang Ping." Cheng Huan stopped his talk with melancholy.

"Wang Ping?" Tian Jian first time heard of this name.

"Yes, Wang Ping, he is the same age as myself. I, Wang Ping, and some other youths are once best friends in the village, and we used to spend our youthful life together with happiness and enjoyment." Cheng Huan said dispiritedly.

Tian Jian is attentively listening to his father's past.

"At a young age, we don't have any conflicts or reservations, and we are just friends, but everything changed after the competition held by the Meng County."

"In the competition, I have given everything and performed the best in our Lan Shan village, so after the competition, the city lord announced me as the village head of Lan Shan village. I felt like I accomplished something so great in my life, and I was joyful, as well as very proud for what I have achieved." Cheng Huan said in a regretful tone.

"I was so proud and became blind, and I thought everyone is happy for my accomplishment, but they or not. Maybe because of my pride or some other reasons Wang Shun and some of my friends couldn't accept my win and status. And slowly rift formed between us, and we grew apart without knowing when that happened." Cheng Huan said with self-guilt, but he didn't mention that his friends are jealous of him.

"And, When I turned around, Everything is gone beyond my redemption. After that, I always feel empty because I had everything in this village except my friends and those happy and carefree days. I always questioned my mind, What did I gain? Can I be satisfied with the accomplishments over my losses?" Cheng Huan said sadly.

Only Now, Tian Jian knew his father's true feelings, and for a second, he shuddered when he imagined him in his father's position. He thought If his relationship with Lu Bao and Yang Bai goes exactly like his father and friends, then how would he responds in that situation and for this thought, he shivered.

"Son, Now do you understand this father's pain. After that incident, I began to put my pride aside and wanted to rectify my relationship, but something that has once gone, they were gone forever."

"Father, maybe in the future you will rectify with your friends." Tian Jian said with a console.

Cheng Huan helplessly sighed.

Cheng Huan looked at Tian Jian and asked, "Son, put my issue aside, and You asked me why villagers gave so much respect to Wang Shun, Right?"

"Yes, Father, I always wondered why would they that?" Tian Jian asked with wonder.

"Son, now you know how I became the village head, right?" Cheng Huan asked calmly.

"Yes, father,"

"Usually Every twenty years The Meng County would hold the competition between the four cities under it, and after that competition, City lord would announce the new Village Head. So I can at most be the Village Head for twenty years, or we can say, after twenty Years A young and New village Head will take my position as a Village Head." Cheng Huan said peacefully without any worry.

"Father, How long have you been a Village Head?" Tian Jian, at first, only thinks about the appointment, but he didn't think about resignment, so he asked Worriedly.

Cheng Huan smiled, "Son, maybe you worried about me, but I am very much happy to retire this inescapable burden, which I have been holding this position for fast Twelve years with full of sincere and unwantedness."

"Father, So you only hold the village head position for another eight years." Tian Jian is agitated to ask, but with a low voice, asked his father.

"Maybe you are true, and I think I can at most have eight heavy years up ahead." Cheng Huan heartfully smiled.

If the competition is held before than expected, then he may have less period.

Cheng Huan observed that the topic is shifting, so he, with a serious tone, said,

"Son, of all the people who participated from our village, Wang Ping and I Had the highest talent. We both had Level Three Weapon Soul, so on the weapon soul basis, we both are the same, but my perception to understanding the techniques is somewhat higher than Wang Ping, and That's Why I gained the edge over him."

"Son, I already told you about the weapon soul. A person with Level three Weapon soul has the highest chance to enter the meridian opening stage based on his fortune and encounters, but he would definitely reach Origin Body realm for sure."

"So, Both Wang Ping and I have a chance to enter Meridian Opening Stage, and it's only a chance, But We both can definitely Enter Origin Body Stage." Cheng Huan in an elevated tone.

"At The Time of competition, Wang Ping and I have the same level of cultivation, but because of my high-level preception, I managed to gain an edge over him. After the competition, the city lord awarded me with cultivation resources, and with those resources, I quickly reached the Peak Of Origin Body realm, But Wang Ping Is left behind me, and unless some miracle happens he won't able to beat me in the cultivation." Cheng Huan said with a mixture of feelings.

"Wang Ping also knows about the fact, but he couldn't accept his defeat, and he is waiting for his chance to come, and exactly ten years back his chance came, and it came in the form of his son, WANG SHUN." Cheng Huan said.

"Wang Shun?" Tian Jian spout Wang Shun's name with surprise.

"Yes, Wang Shun, son, do you know the level of Wang Shun's weapon soul? It Is Level Four, and in our village, it appeared only a few times, and most of them became village head." Cheng Huan said with an amazment.

"Level Four," Tian Jian murmured slowly, but he is neither jealous nor tensed because his own Weapon Soul is level eight, but due to some scheme, it has now become someone's, and he is even not afraid of that person, so how can he afraid of measly Wang Shun.

"Son, With the Level- Four Weapon soul Wang Shun has the chance to enter unprecedented ORIGIN Realm, even if he didn't enter the Origin realm, he would definitely reach Meridian Opening Realm." Cheng Huan eyes are glittering with amazement while he is speaking, then he continued,

"Son, at my time, either me or Wang Ping's talents are same with a slight difference, but now, without doubt, Wang Shun has unparalleled talent in the village, and he will become next village head."

"Only a Few People know about Wang Shun's talent, but every who knew, firmly believed that Wang Shun would definitely become the next village head. Even though they never tell the public about Wang Shun's talent, they said to the public, that Wang Shun has unsurpassed talent and he would become our village New Head." Cheng Huan said.

"Son, You asked why Villagers gave so much respect to Wang Shun, and this is the reason. Maybe I am the current Village Head, but in the future, a new person will replace me, and they firmly believe that the new person will be none other than Wang Shun, So they gave so much respect to Wang Shun than you, even though you are my Son." Cheng Huan stopped with an uncertain voice,

"But, Would their belief really correct? Is there no one in our village who can surpass Wang Shun?" Cheng Huan asked while looking at Tian Jian.
