"Hmm, uncle, my father is doing very well, there's no need for you to worry," Tang San said.
Whether he's really doing well is not something you can just take someone's word for, seeing it with your own eyes is the only way to truly know.
"Oh, is that so? Then I won't worry too much about him," Tang Xiao replied.
"In fact, I never thought he did anything wrong. If Ah Yin had chosen me, I would have done the same thing," Tang Xiao said in a low voice.
Did his words really reflect his true feelings?
What kind of thing would he do the same?
Would it be, like Tang Hao, to take risks for the woman he loved most and be willing to risk his life to protect her?
If Ah Yin had chosen him back then, would they have also faced the pursuit of the Martial Soul Hall?
There's no need to think too much about it; the Martial Soul Hall most desires what comes from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, regardless of whom Ah Yin ultimately chose, they would be targeted by the Martial Soul Hall for assassination – a fact that Soul Masters can't change!
"Xiaosan, no matter how outsiders judge you in the future, I don't want it to become a burden on you. From now on, you should just focus on your duties to the sect wholeheartedly since you are also part of it, with its blood flowing in your veins," Tang Xiao told Xiaosan.
Tang San nodded hurriedly in response.
Then, Tang San brought the green box in front of his uncle.
His uncle's expression tightened!
"What is this!?" he exclaimed, frowning deeply.
Afterward, the green box was slowly opened.
Inside was found a hundred-thousand-year soul bone and a hidden weapon!
Yuehua, looking at the hidden weapon and the soul bone in the box, realized that there must be something more to the situation.
"Ah, Xiaosan, tell us the truth, your father, he hasn't met with some mishap, has he?" Yuehua said with a distressed look.
At this moment, the only thing that could be imagined was that Tang Hao had very likely run into a crisis.
That's why Tang San appeared at this time.
"Recently, my father encountered some trouble, but fortunately, he has resolved it himself. Uncle, you don't have to worry too much; father can take care of himself," Tang San assured him.
"I always feel something isn't quite right; something bad must have happened."
"Xiaosan, before you came, did your father say anything to you, or did you notice anything unusual or out of place?"
His aunt stared at Tang San with a worried expression.
Suddenly, in that moment, Tang San became nervous too.
Perhaps his aunt was right; his father might have run into trouble, trouble that couldn't be resolved quickly.
The truth was, before Tang San set out, he had a big argument with his father. Tang Hao was adamantly against him going to find Xiaowu, so Tang San ignored his father's advice and insisted on looking for Xiaowu.
In the end, he reluctantly agreed to let Tang San go in search of Xiaowu.
But this was something Tang San would not tell his uncle and aunt in front of him!
After all, none of this was considered good news.
"Xiaosan, you need to speak clearly, don't hold back anything in your heart. You have to speak up."
"Maybe we can help you solve it," his uncle said to him.
Even if he did speak up, would they truly be able to help him solve it? Now, the most important thing had not been cleared up yet!
That was, Xiaowu had not been found, and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive!
"It's all Ye Feng, that lad who keeps causing us trouble."
Ye Feng, again Ye Feng!
Tang San spoke plainly.
In his heart, Ye Feng was like a devil!
He wanted to take revenge, but with his own limited ability, he couldn't defeat his opponent.
Time after time, he was humiliated by the other party, the blows to himself were just too great.
"Ye Feng! That name sounds very familiar, like I've seen this person before," his uncle said, looking puzzled.
"Ye Feng is quite famous in the Soul Land, a Dual Martial Soul always winning first place in competitions, born with talents far surpassing those of his peers, and his Martial Soul strength is indeed formidable," Tang San explained.
"I'll invite him to our sect for a visit someday, Xiaosan, you should interact with him more—it could be very beneficial for your future,"
At this moment, Tang San's heart hit rock bottom!
Why did even his elder uncle think highly of Ye Feng?
Just by seeing him a few times during the competition, he was able to believe in the other's strength so strongly!
It seemed that Ye Feng had left a very good impression in his heart.
Whereas Tang San was no more than an ant in his eyes, or even worse, less than a dog!
"Hmm, uncle, as long as you are happy that's fine. I'm not interested in him,"
At this point, Tang San spoke.
His eyes were filled with darkness!!
Upon the mention of Ye Feng, he instantly became extremely terrifying!
He wished nothing more than for Ye Feng to appear before him so he could use his hidden weapon to strike him down, never to be reborn!
"How did Ye Feng abuse you? Tell auntie, and I will settle this grievance for you,"
If it was trouble Tang San had brought upon himself, how would auntie view him?
Would auntie stand on Tang San's side?
"No need, I can handle my own affairs without auntie's help,"
Tang San repeatedly refused to let auntie take action on his behalf, meaning he could handle it himself!
"Well then, Xiaosan, you've grown up and can handle your own affairs. Auntie is happy for you,"
"If you encounter any problems you can't resolve on your own, you must tell us so we can personally intervene,"
Yuehua said to him.
Tang San nodded.
"Ye Feng, that kid isn't bad,"
Tang Xiao muttered to himself.
Tang San could tell that his uncle was very interested in Ye Feng.
Because Ye Feng was someone worthy of attention in the eyes of most.
"Oh, the recognition and return to the sect ceremony for Xiaosan might have to be postponed. You don't have any objections, do you?"
Even if he had objections, he wouldn't dare to express them openly!
After all, who would dare oppose the views of an elder like Tang Xiao!
The recognition and return to the sect being delayed meant that his father's words could be considered nothing more than hot air!
His uncle, in front of everyone, implied that the ceremony might not happen at all.
If Tang Hao were to find out, how heartbroken he would be. The conflict between them would surely escalate once again!
"It's fine, I have many matters to attend to lately. I might need to leave for some time and will return to the Tang Sect after I'm done,"
"Uncle, I hope you have no objections. I might be a bit disappointed with you, as I just can't spare the time and must attend to my affairs,"
"Really sorry, uncle,"
At this moment, Tang San didn't want to stay in the Tang Sect even a second longer.
Just a minute ago, he realized his uncle had Ye Feng in mind and neglected Xiaosan's place in his heart; he had long seen his uncle favored Ye Feng!
"Alright then, there's no hurry. You can always come back after you've finished with your matters,"
At this point, his uncle spoke.
His uncle turned away, not sparing Xiaosan more than a few glances!
Let him go. Even if he were to die, it wouldn't cause any sorrow!!
"Xiaosan, it's rare for you to visit; don't you plan to stay a few more days? We haven't had a proper chat in a long time,"
Only Yuehua truly cared for him!!
At this moment, Tang San felt a warm current in his heart.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I really have things to take care of. I will come back to see you another day,"
Xiaosan said with a cold demeanor.
Auntie watched Tang San unwillingly.
Tang San turned around and walked towards the main gate.
He walked away without looking back.
