Father Chen was a little absent-minded as he pondered this while he taught his cla.s.ses that day. Some of the disciples who didn't know what was going on thought that the author of the novel Father Chen was following was on hiatus again, so he was in a bad mood.

"Did that writer of Let Go of that Wet Nurse stop updating again?" asked a disciple.

"No idea…"

A few of the disciples whispered among themselves as they left the dojo.

The only three in the know who had come early that morning felt so stifled it was uncomfortable.

Father Chen had specially looked for them at noon to enjoin them not to expose w.a.n.g Xiaoling's situation, but there were times when hiding a secret was so unbearable that you wanted to cut someone…

It was thus in this sort of situation that the wise saying which everyone had probably heard before was born: I'll tell you a secret! But you can't tell anyone else!

And so, w.a.n.g Xiaoling's secret was leaked, just like that…

Although w.a.n.g Ling was inside w.a.n.g Xiaoling's body, he saw and heard everything clearly with his King's Eye G.o.dly perspective…

...

That night, a depressed Father Chen went to read a novel to destress. Each person faced pressure, and also had their own way to destress. Father Chen's way was very simple, and that was to read a book.

Here, w.a.n.g Ling learned another secret of Father Chen's – it turned out that Father Chen was also a fan of Father w.a.n.g! That evening, the book Father Chen was reading was that Let Go of That Wet Nurse which Father w.a.n.g started writing twelve years earlier and had just finished at ten million words.

But back then, Father w.a.n.g's book hadn't been serialized for long and he had yet to sign a guru contract. His overall number of fans certainly couldn't compare with what it would be like twelve years in the future. No one could have imagined how this book would seal his status as a guru and make him rich twelve years later, with even the head of state becoming his fan.

w.a.n.g Ling never thought that he would be the source of "concern" for two fathers at the same time…

Father Chen was reading a book now because he was fretting over w.a.n.g Xiaoling's secret being leaked.

While the reason Father w.a.n.g wrote novels was in fact because he had been fretting over w.a.n.g Ling…

Mother w.a.n.g officially stopped writing when w.a.n.g Ling was three or four years old.

Before w.a.n.g Ling came up with the Dao talisman seal to restrict his own strength, he would occasionally break the furniture which the family owned. Mother w.a.n.g's author fees and Father w.a.n.g's work income weren't enough to support the family at all.

Father w.a.n.g thus furtively came up with the idea of writing novels to supplement the family income.

Who would have known that after banging out 26,000 words for the debut of Let Go of That Wet Nurse, it would directly became a top-ten bestseller…

It was after that that Father w.a.n.g came clean.

He told Mother w.a.n.g the truth, then quit his job to write novels fulltime to support the family. Not long after that, Mother w.a.n.g stopped writing and devoted herself to taking care of, guiding and educating w.a.n.g Ling.

Husband and wife had gone to great pains for w.a.n.g Ling.

...

That evening, w.a.n.g Xiaoling was playing with plasticine which Super Chen had given to her when she had just arrived yesterday. Super Chen was playing a video game on the side. Halfway through his game, Super Chen's wrist.w.a.tch alarm suddenly rang. He tossed the game console aside casually and then took out an e-book reader from a drawer.

w.a.n.g Xiaoling was clearly confused.

Super Chen smiled at w.a.n.g Xiaoling. "It's time to study the art of language!"

w.a.n.g Ling was stunned. It turned out Super Chen was actually learning it from novels…

He saw Super Chen open the e-book page. Sure enough, Super Chen ultimately opened that Let Go of That Wet Nurse on the e-shelf… Actually, Super Chen didn't know what he should read, so he added all the books on his father's e-shelf to his own.

There was a novel called Baijie which he couldn't find, but that was fine…

Super Chen now had more than ten books for his summer break, and the first one was Let Go of That Wet Nurse. After reading these ten or so books, it was enough for him to tentatively touch "the gateway to the art of language"!

He was only four years old, and there were many words he didn't recognize, but the e-book reader had an audio reading function!

And so, the online novel written by Father w.a.n.g was read out in a very jerky, electronic voice.

w.a.n.g Ling's comment was: dry and very chuuni…

After all, this was an online novel. There were some expressions for which, if you read it quietly on your own, you could imagine the protagonist's emotions and the scene in which he would utter the words. However, when they were read out loud, it might give you gooseb.u.mps.

Halfway through the chapter, the electronic voice stuttered. Super Chen thought it was something wrong with the app, but then he saw a string of streamers floating across the top of the page as a sticky…

"Wow, so much money! Someone rich has come!" exclaimed four-year-old Super Chen. Although he hadn't been reading online novels for very long, he had clearly done some homework and knew what the gifts meant.

However, Super Chen soon realized that this ma.s.sive sum wasn't for Father w.a.n.g.

Twelve years ago, in Father w.a.n.g's debut as a newbie, his sales, subscriptions and monthly votes all skyrocketed. As the year drew to a close, he was naturally a contender for Newcomer of the Year.

A sole gift of more than ten thousand yuan would be displayed directly at the top of the app as a sticky.

In terms of book currency, that was one million.

But that string of one million in book currency which had just appeared was a gift to another guru.

This was an advertis.e.m.e.nt as well as a show of strength against Father w.a.n.g by the gurus who were competing for the t.i.tle as the new Best Author.Can be literally translated as "talk strings," and is part of a crosstalk act in which a performer recites something at incredible rapid-fire speed.Refers to the 人不XX枉少年 catchphrase which can translate to "you're not young if you don't XX."Possibly a reference to an erotic audio book called "Young Married Woman Baijie."
