Chapter 24 Filial Piety Leads to Greatness!
But just as Tang San was full of anticipation for the upcoming Soul Hunting trip and carefully packing his luggage, he was completely unaware that a cold figure had appeared in the room.
Just as a chilling, bone-piercing aura suddenly enveloped the entire room, relying on his sixth sense from his past life, Tang San abruptly looked up before Tang Hao could speak, and his eyes met a pair of turbid and icy eyes.
Upon seeing who it was, Tang San froze for a moment, but then a surge of joy welled up inside him.
It's Tang Hao.
This father who gave him life.
"Father, you actually came too. Did you come to see me? And you even managed to find this place... Never mind, none of that matters."
Father, please sit down and rest for a while.
You must be tired from your journey. Have you eaten? I'll go make you something to eat.
And another thing, Father, I have to tell you, I ran into someone on my way to school today…”
I originally thought Tang Hao hadn't come, but I didn't expect him to give me such a big surprise.
For Tang San, who was born an orphan, this moment was the happiest time of all.
However, unlike Tang San's excitement, as time went on, even the most oblivious person could sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
What he saw at that moment was neither the warmth of a long-awaited reunion, nor the intimacy of a father and son meeting, nor even a trace of the tender fatherly love he had longed for.
Just like his appearance in Holy Soul Village, Tang Hao still looked disheveled and down-and-out.
His face was covered by disheveled hair, his beard was matted and tangled, and he reeked of alcohol mixed with the grime of the world. His eyes were as cold as ice, and his gaze toward Tang San was indifferent and detached.
It was as if the boy in front of him had never been his biological son, but merely a tool to be manipulated and used to achieve his own goals.
Six years, a full six years!
Tang San thought he had gotten used to such stares, but today he found that he still hadn't gotten used to it.
Deep down, he still longed for Tang Hao's approval.
But what about Tang Hao?
During his battle with Qian Xunji, Tang Hao clearly felt that the child in his arms had completely lost all signs of life for a period of time.
He had initially thought he had tragically died young, but what happened?
It's one thing that Tang San miraculously survived, but what else did Tang Hao discover during his years of seclusion in Holy Soul Village?
Her precociousness and maturity can be explained by her genius.
but!
In addition, Tang San secretly went to the back mountain to carry out systematic and orderly cultivation!
Tang San thought he was being very careful and that no one would notice, but in front of Tang Hao, a titled Douluo, his methods seemed so naive.
Is this person really his child?
Over the past six years, Tang Hao has asked himself this question more than once!
However... once Tang San awakened his twin martial souls and confirmed that he possessed the Clear Sky Hammer, these things no longer seemed important.
It's just a tool for crickets, so it doesn't really matter!
The atmosphere inside the room gradually dropped to freezing point, the candlelight flickering gently, making Tang Hao's face appear even more gloomy and cold.
Tang San subconsciously stopped what he was doing. The warmth in his heart vanished instantly, leaving only a strange tension and panic.
He had assumed that even if there wasn't much warmth between father and son, there would at least be a few ordinary pleasantries.
Tang Hao remained silent throughout, simply standing there coldly, scrutinizing his every move. The icy pressure he exuded made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
After a long silence, Tang Hao finally spoke, his hoarse and deep voice devoid of any emotion, as if issuing two unquestionable military orders, stiff and cold.
"Mistress, time is limited, so I cannot stay here any longer."
"I have two things to tell you before I come. Don't ask why, just do them well, understand?"
"...Please enlighten me, Father!"
Without any preamble, without any inquiry, and without even considering Tang San's wishes, it was entirely forceful and arbitrary.
Tang San's hands, hanging by his sides, clenched quietly, and a sudden wave of bitterness and resentment washed over him.
However, considering the ancestral law of Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher, Tang San nodded despite his displeasure.
"First!"
Tang Hao's tone was cold and hard, each word falling like shards of ice.
"I have left the Tang Clan, which Qin Yun established without my consent. I have been wandering the continent for many years and have never heard of any Tang Clan."
Even if such a force exists, it would be nothing more than a third-rate power, not worth mentioning!
Those so-called sects are nothing but a childish farce, absurd and laughable.
But you don't need to worry. I've already taken care of the issue of your apprenticeship. From now on, you will become Yu Xiaogang's disciple and follow his arrangements. He will be in charge of teaching you the path of cultivation.
He was born into a noble family, possessed extraordinary insight, and was a recognized theoretical master in mainland China.
"Don't be so easily influenced by other people's opinions, mistress. The master's abilities are beyond your imagination!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San's body trembled violently, and his face instantly turned pale.
The title of "master" is completely irrelevant!
Although he was defeated head-on by a six-year-old child, and although the way he was defeated was by being knocked unconscious by a fart.
However, Tang San would not be overly harsh on the weak.
But... the Tang Clan is different!
The Tang Clan was his home, the Xuan Tian Bao Lu was the foundation of his existence, and Qin Yun had shown him immense kindness.
Whether it's memories from his past life or experiences in this life, this affection and bond have long been deeply rooted in Tang San's heart.
To make him leave the Tang Clan and betray Qin Yun is tantamount to severing all his reliance and thoughts from his past and present lives!
"Father……"
Before Tang San could even open his mouth to argue, Tang Hao's second order followed immediately, his tone still cold and forceful, showing no mercy whatsoever.
"Secondly, I don't care what method you use, you must befriend Xiaowu, maintain your relationship, and bring you closer together."
The moment Tang Hao saw Xiao Wu from afar, he immediately recognized her as a transformed soul beast, just like the Blue Silver Emperor back then, from the faint pink light emanating from her body!
The moment Tang Hao realized this, he almost burst out laughing with joy.
He took advantage of Blue Silver Emperor's feelings to become one of the few people on the continent to possess a 100,000-year soul ring.
And now, if everything goes smoothly, his son Tang San might be able to replicate the path he took back then!
……
The two orders were cold and calculating, each word uttered with utilitarian intent.
Completely disregarding Tang San's feelings, preferences, and choices, they treated him merely as a pawn to be manipulated at will, a tool to plan their future.
He became Yu Xiaogang's disciple in order to hone his foundation by learning from his profound theories on martial spirit.
His friendship with Xiao Wu was also driven by a deeper, unseen motive.
Throughout the entire process, Tang Hao only had plans in mind, not family ties.
This cold and calculating attitude completely shattered Tang San's psychological defenses, pushing him to the brink of emotional breakdown and plunging him into a state of stress.
The grievances and conflicts that had accumulated over the past few days, coupled with the disappointment and resentment that filled my heart at this moment, all surged up and kept pounding in my chest.
He clenched his teeth, the veins in his neck bulging, his eyes filled with suppressed rage.
A phrase, utterly restrained, kept churning in his heart—the very phrase Qin Yun often reminded him of: "There is a proper way to die!"
If Qin Yun hadn't given him a heads-up beforehand, Tang San would have almost lost control of his emotions and blurted out those words!
