Chapter 161

The wizard's voice was cold: "in the future, you can get rid of the problem of answering without thinking. If the sky is round and the place where they meet is not right?"

Wen Ling learned a lesson and thought about it before he replied, "the earth is surrounded by the ocean. The sea bends out and connects with the sky."

The wizard asked, "why doesn't the sea fall without the earth? Why doesn't the round sky fall and hit the ground?"

Wen Ling is tongue tied.

The wizard suddenly said, "look away."

Wen Ling looked into the distance. He noticed that they had flown so high that everything on the earth was blurred and could no longer be seen clearly.

"See that line? The place where the sky connects with the earth is called the horizon. Now it is 15000 meters high. You should be able to see that this line has a slight arc."

After listening to the wizard's words, Wen Ling looked at the horizon seriously. Indeed, as the wizard said, the line bent slightly downward. Is it true that the earth is bent?

"There are many secrets in this world." The wizard said to him, "Go and explore. You will find many unexpected things. You can continue to develop in the direction of water or explore new fields. Everything depends on what you like. My only requirement is that when you turn 25, you should apply to leave the palace and become an old teacher, so that the interest in exploring the laws of the world can spread among the Terrans."

"Then, when you become a qualified teacher, I will come back to you and let you restore the memory of your previous life. Zhu Yao."

They fell down quickly. Zhu Yao felt dizzy. The whole person seemed to have lost weight and his chest was stuffy.

"Sleep for a while." He heard the wizard say to him, and then he lost consciousness.

When Wen Ling woke up again, he had returned to the palace.

His parents and attendants couldn't find him, so they were very anxious. Now, he suddenly appeared from the palace. Wen Yu was surprised and gratified, and quickly booed for a while. Yan Yi was still looking for someone outside. Wen Yu sent someone to call her.

When Wen Yu asked Wen Ling where he had gone, Wen Ling thought for a while before answering:

"Father, today, God took me out."

"What God?" Wen Yu asked in surprise.

"I don't know... But, father, there's something I want to apply to you -"

"From now on, I don't want to be the heir to the throne. Father, I have something I want to pursue. Please let my brother succeed."

Wen Yu was stunned for a long time, then stepped back and sat down on the chair.

A strong sadness sprang up in his heart. In fact, he had long thought that there might be such a day. Since Wen Ling was more than two years old, he and Yanyi have been trying to avoid this result. He has always guided Wen Ling's growth and made him a qualified successor to the throne. However, he still can't stop what he fears most.

Wenling is not a mortal. He knows it with Yanyi.

However, Wen Yu still struggled, he said:

"What's the matter with you? Your brother is still young, and his talent is not as good as yours. After years of training by me and your mother, you have become a qualified heir. Is it fair to us if you give up? What will Jingguo do if you leave your responsibility behind?"

Wen Ling bowed his head and remained silent for a while before he said, "but father, if you don't let me do what I really want to do, will it be fair to me? And I've thought about it. Now that the state of Jing is strong, there is no need for militarism and external expansion. Although his brother is young, he can at least be a successful king even if he has no great achievements in the future."

While the father and son were talking, Yanyi hurried into the house and rushed to hold Wen Ling in her arms.

Wen Ling felt his mother's warmth, but he just sighed.

Wen Yu said, "please advise your son! He doesn't even want to be an heir!"

Yanyi asked the situation clearly, but also stayed for a long time like Wen Yu, and then held her son and shed tears.

However, even if the parents tried their best to dissuade, they could not change Wen Ling's determination.

His vision has been opened up by the wonderful experience of that day. Now, even the throne of Jing can't keep his heart.

In 234, the old king of Jing abdicated and Wen Yu succeeded to become the new king of Jing. Then Wen Yuan, Wen Yu's second son, was granted the crown prince at the age of 18.

Among the royal family, there has always been more strife. Wen Yuan was an ordinary but cautious man like his father. However, since he really became the prince, there have been more and more people around him.

There are always some people who, for their own purposes, instigate Wen Yuan in his ear and tell him that ordinary people may have the truth about their brothers, but the Wang family absolutely does not. He and his big brother are enemies. We should not prevent in advance because his big brother seems to let go.

Some people told him that his father had originally favored Wenling, and even thought that Wenling's talent was far better than Wenyuan, and his cultivation of Wenling was the best, but he was very general to Wenyuan. Even if Wenling didn't compete for the throne now, he was not allowed to suddenly want the throne in the future.

As soon as Wen Ling returns to the right track, Wen Yuan can be said to be unable to keep the crown prince.

The words of instigation are indeed true, but those people and Wen Yuan ignore one point, that is, since Wen Ling was already a sure successor, why did he have to fight against his father, leave the palace and refuse all power status.

Wen Yuan here is guarding against Wen Ling, but Wen Ling over there is at ease.

Wen Ling, 21, is staying at the ruins of the former dragon kingdom. He always feels that he doesn't know enough, but he doesn't know where to look. He has read the recorded history and knowledge once and can only go out and look for it himself.

The experience of flying into the sky in his childhood made him unforgettable. Later, after completely giving up inheritance and obtaining the privilege of free access to the palace, Wen Ling often went far away.

He usually takes only one maid and four guards, carrying light luggage. He was so plainly dressed that no one could even imagine that he was the eldest son of the king of Jingguo.

When Wen Ling came back from the ruins of the Dragon Kingdom, he felt the change of the atmosphere of the whole Jing kingdom.

At that time, he just showed his face at his father's throne succession ceremony, dealt with the celebrations of his ministers, and hurried abroad to visit ancient China in the gravel river city.

However, this behavior was interpreted by interested people as that he did not dare to face his brother to become the prince instead of himself. It was even said that his mind was dark.

Wen Ling listened, but smiled lightly and didn't take it to heart at all.

However, it is true that most of the people who once surrounded him are increasingly alienated from him.
