Chapter 11 - Chapter 9

After the talk with Tang Wulin, two of them seemed like they had gotten closer with eachother. Well, at least they could hold conversation with eachother without looking like they are about to fight. But it is weird as he never talks, or even feels about others like he has with Tang Wulin.

'I guess you never know if you don't experience it. Well once i get home i have many things to do. Starting with what martial spirit is my second spirit. Then talking with teacher about how i should get my spirit rings. And most importantly who is Tang Ziran. After all dad hardly ever talk to others with such friendliness. So whoever Tang Ziran is, he must know about my parents past. I sometimes could feel that they are purposefully staying away from other people. They only get to know about them as neighborhood family not real friend'

It didn't take long for two dads to come back. Although the atmosphere around them slightly changed. Hao Chen didn't know if Tang Wulin also realized about this as well.

Tang Ziran "Well it seems we have to go, we have our own business to attend after all"

Hao Chen "Goodbye Sir, also don't forget what i said Tang Wulin. Next time we meet we will be rivals. You have to train hard to catch up to me"

Tang Wulin "I know, and i will remember everything you said'"

Yue Ling "Well tell Lang Yue that i miss her cooking. We hope that we will meet you soon"

Tang Ziran "Of course our door is open if you want to meet us"

Saying so 4 of us split up. Dad was very silent during this time. I could feel that he was thinking about very important things.

"So was he important person?"

"As i though you understood it. Well i expected no less from you, what gave it away?"

"You were too friendly with him. While he just could have been someone you knew in past there was certain feeling to how two of you talked with eachother"

"So too much friendliness gave it away, huh?"

"Yes i never saw you and mom being close to others"

"Well it was my fault after all, please don't get upset when i say this but, you are too weak to know the past of us."

"I see in the end it all comes down to this. Getting stronger is what i have to do"

"Well i am sure that practically everyone wants to get stronger. But people always give up in the start of it. I saw too many people who gave up. I just hope you won't give up and meet the end of the road"

"What do you meant give up? Do you mean you gave up too?"

"Indeed i gave up trying to get stronger. But decided to spent time with my family. Although i could have gotten stronger while raising you, i chosen the happiness that i have now."

"Then do you regret it"

"Well little bit. Sometimes i feel like i should have become strong for my family. If i did it than i could have made it happen.... Well `you shouldn't give up anyway"

"Dad you were strong spirit master weren't you?"

"Indeed i was. And same goes to your mom too. Both of us were from Shrek"

"I see"

'Will to get stronger huh'
