3 Discovery

As time passed Yong could finally fully understand the language, not only that he no longer got breastfed and started eating mashed foods and started crawling.

He played with his brother, played the part of the cute baby to his parents which endeared him to them greatly and finally during dinner as his mother was feeding him mashed food he said his first word at the age of 1 which is quite average.

He cutely touched his mother's nose and said "Ma", his mother looked over the moon so happy she bragged to her husband sitting beside her "See he called to me first, that means he love me more" she spoke with a teasing tone.

"Nonsense, the boy just spent more time with you as i'm busy and and i'm pretty sure he'll also call to me if i asked him to" Said the husband with confidence.

Before she could talk back Long Chen took the baby from her arms and pulled him face to face and said"Call me father, or Dad.... come on" with an expectant look Long chen looked at his youngest.

'I'm in a dilemma, i don't want to show too much too much genius or my brother will grow resentful, on the other hand i want my father to like me as it will make things easier later on ...Hmmmm'Yong was deliberating for a small while before deciding, during this time his father's face was turning uglier and uglier, but before he could say anything else a soft voice was heard shocking the little family.

"DaDa"

A smile bloomed on Long Chen's face as he turned to Zi Lan, so the husband and wife teased each other while playing with Yong, this happened while Jianyu looked at this situation and felt a little sad after all he was used to his parent's affection only concentrating on him, while Yong was being breastfed and wasn't aware of the world he was taken care of by servant but now as his child mind felt that little loss of affection he couldn't help but be just a little bit resentful towards Yong.

But this wasn't important after the end of dinner Yong was taken to his room by yun the woman who breastfed him and changed him, as they entered the room Yong couldn't help but look in the mirror in the corner only to see his reflection he had some red hair and green eyes with a chubby body, he couldn't help but smile as he was put in his crib because he looked vastly different from his past life and was thankful that he doesn't have a red hair like a ginger but a fiery red like his mother's.

Day's passed like this passed as he grew more articulate and put some efforts in listening to the servants talk, he discovered that Cloud city was the capital of the Cloud prefecture and that his house was in the compound of the Long clan, he also discovered why his father was always busy it was because he was the most likely to inherit the position of the patriarch out of the five elders of the main clan.

As Yong continued his growth he was able to walk and discover all the corners of the house. Now he was heading towards his mother's room, as he knocked he heard a "Come in".

"Good afternoon Mom, i want to ask you something" Yong said with his immature face while making weaponizing his cutest smile to add to his chances of success.

"What is it little Yong did you come to ask for other toys after your brother started training and stopped playing with you?" Responded the redheaded mother with a beautiful smile showcasing her pearly white teeth.

"No mom I came to ask you to be taught how to read and write!" Yong said with a cute smile as he fiddled with his fingers.

Zi Lan frowned and said "why are you asking that? you're brother is five and just got tutors. You're still too young to hire a tutor for you."

"Mom i always watch my brother learning stuff from swordsmanship to reading, i want to learn too and i don't want a tutor i just want you to teach me how to read and write to spend more time with you!"Said Yong playing the part of the jealous child while taking advantage of her love by saying that 'he wants to spend more time with her'.

Zi Lan was in a dilemma she didn't want to make her lovely son sad so she agreed to teach him.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" Yong hugged her tightly and thanked her repeatedly before leaving his mother's room with a huge smile on his face. As he was heading to his room he passed by a courtyard and saw his brother training swordsmanship under his tutor.

Long jianyu looked tired and frustrated "Why do we keep training the basics, why won't you show some awesome moves?!"

"Young Master Long these basics are very important and in the future you will follow the footsteps of your father to become a venerable cultivator and these moves of mine are but what mortals martial artist use and are useless to a cultivator so you will need to train the basics which will be more important to cultivation skills."Said the tutor with longing look as he talked about cultivators.

After listening to his tutor Long jianyu couldn't help but swallow his words and go back to training the basics of swordsmanship.

Yong who was walking nearby was confused by the word "Venerable Cultivators? what is a cultivator? My brothers tutor said my father is one, Hmm... I will go ask a servant about this."

As he was going back to his room his room he met his wet nurse yun cleaning his room and asked her "Excuse me yun can i ask you something?"

"of course Young Master!" Responded the tan woman.

"can you tell what are Cultivators?"Asked her Yong with an inquisitive tone.

this startled Yun as she Responded "Young Master Cultivators are those who refine the essence of heaven and earth within them to pursue immortality. Actually your father is one."

This shocked Yong as he quickly thanked Yun and entered his room and closed the door. It took a while for Yong to calm down and think 'So the word cultivator means that kind of cultivator that i was so fascinated with in my past life.' the more he thought the more he was getting excited.

"Immortality, Refining the essence of heaven damn i must've hit the jackpot in my reincarnation!"

In his previous life society was quiet limiting and money equaled power so Yong was quite disillusioned as someone couldn't truly rise above the masses, because no matter how rich you are a bullet will end you, time was working against you as your lifespan diminished. But here in this world where you can have power and immortality it was extremely attractive to Yong.

A world where four arms were stronger than two Yong's former world was more about society, here he could achieve power where he could achieve his dream after reading countless novels Yong truly desired to cultivate, cast spells and achieve the impossible.

A flame of passion truly lit up for something in his life other than reading xianxia novel from his past life and that is: CULTIVATE.
