Chapter 199: Father and Son Reunion, "A Warm and Friendly Exchange"
Yu Tianlin's original destination had been the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye in Sunset Forest. But with this incident happening halfway there, he could only set that plan aside for now and return toward Heaven Dou City with his grandfather.
Along the way, Yu Yuanzhen asked for the details, why Tang Hao had suddenly targeted Yu Tianlin, and what had happened beforehand. Yu Tianlin hesitated for a moment, then still told the truth, explaining everything about Tang San and Xiao Wu.
At this point, things had already reached a stage where it could not be hidden anymore. By a twist of fate, they had even seized a 100,000 year Spirit Bone. With a matter this big, keeping it from Yu Yuanzhen was no longer realistic.
"So Xiaogang's disciple is Tang Hao's son, and he even has twin Martial Souls?" Yu Yuanzhen was stunned by the sheer weight of it. "And there's more, there's also a 100,000 year Spirit Beast that can take human form."
"That's right," Yu Tianlin said. "Tang San and Xiao Wu are very close. They'll probably end up together in the future. So even though Tang Hao knew Xiao Wu's true identity a long time ago, he didn't harm her. He chose to protect her."
"The Clear Sky Sect is truly cursed by its own bloodline." Yu Yuanzhen could not help shaking his head. "Back when Tang Chen ruled the continent, the Clear Sky Clan alone could stand against Spirit Hall. Who would've thought the descendants would sink to this level? Tang Hao got involved with a 100,000 year Spirit Beast, and now Tang Hao's son is going down the same road. At this rate, I'm afraid there won't be any pure humans left in the Clear Sky Clan in the future."
Yu Tianlin silently complained along with him, but he kept it in his heart.
Their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was not exactly spotless either. The mess between Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong was a headache all on its own. If you really wanted to talk about "family misfortune," they were in no position to point fingers.
"Tianlin, based on what you said, they should all be at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy right now." Yu Yuanzhen immediately changed direction with Yu Tianlin and headed straight toward the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. "Let's go take a look."
"Grandpa, I think we're too late," Yu Tianlin said. "Tang Hao should have already left with them."
Yu Yuanzhen did not answer.
He knew it was too late. He was simply using it as an excuse to check on Yu Xiaogang. As for Tang San and Xiao Wu, Yu Yuanzhen did not truly care.
By the time they arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it was already past midnight. Yu Yuanzhen did not release his aura in any high profile way. Instead, he slipped in quietly.
He did not even need Yu Tianlin to guide him. Relying on his own perception, he headed straight toward the Shrek Academy's resting area.
All the lights there were out, meaning everyone was asleep. But one room still had a lamp burning. Tang San's room. Under the light, a shadow moved inside.
What?
Yu Tianlin was surprised. Tang San was still here? That was not right. He should have been taken away by Tang Hao. Could it be Tang Hao never came?
Yu Tianlin did not notice it, but Yu Yuanzhen's arms began to tremble slightly, like he was forcing down something violent and unfamiliar.
"It's Xiaogang," Yu Yuanzhen said, his voice tight as he suppressed that surge of emotion. Then he and Yu Tianlin entered the room without opening the door or the window. No one knew how they got in.
"Father, and Tianlin." Only one person was inside. Yu Xiaogang sat at the desk with his back to them. He did not turn around, but some unspoken connection between father and son still let him speak with certainty. "You've come."
"His Majesty Clear Sky told me everything, then took Tang San and Xiao Wu away. You're too late."
"Xiaogang." Yu Yuanzhen's voice trembled. "I don't care about twin Martial Souls, or a 100,000 year Spirit Beast. But as your father, after all these years, are you really not going to turn around and look at me?"
Yu Xiaogang kept his back to them. He did not move.
"Congratulations, Father, on your great progress in cultivation." He paused, but still did not turn. His voice remained low and steady. "Even His Majesty Clear Sky is far from being your match."
Yu Yuanzhen's patience finally cracked when he realized Yu Xiaogang was deliberately changing the subject.
"Don't forget what you promised Tianlin. You said you would return to the clan after some time."
"The agreement with Tianlin is void." Yu Xiaogang interrupted him. "Tianlin promised me he would never reveal the secret of Tang San's twin Martial Souls. But he told you, Father."
He spoke without hesitation, each word clean and sharp.
"Since Tianlin broke the agreement first, I can break my promise too."
Yu Yuanzhen's gaze immediately shifted to Yu Tianlin.
Yu Tianlin could only nod awkwardly.
"Tianlin, go out first." Yu Yuanzhen's expression turned ugly in an instant. "Let me speak to your second uncle alone."
Yu Tianlin had no interest in being trapped between elders, and standing there already felt suffocating. Hearing that, he felt like he had been granted a pardon. He quickly opened the door and fled.
"But you ate the herbs Tianlin brought," Yu Yuanzhen's voice followed behind him, heavy with anger. "It was because of them that you broke through to level 30. Are you going to swallow everything and walk away like that?"
Those were the last words Yu Tianlin heard before he retreated a good distance from the room.
Do whatever you want.
Yu Tianlin had not stood there for long when two figures approached, Flander and Zhao Wuji.
With Yu Yuanzhen's methods, he could have entered without anyone noticing. But now was different. Yu Yuanzhen was arguing with Yu Xiaogang. The sound was not loud, yet to Spirit Saints like Flander and Zhao Wuji, it was still enough to be detected.
As for Shao Xin, although he was also a Spirit Saint, he was a support type. His perception was not as sharp as a battle type Spirit Master's, so he did not notice anything.
"Yu Tianlin, why are you here again?" Flander hurried over and asked directly. "Isn't that Tang San's room? Why do I hear Xiao Gang's voice, and another stranger inside? What happened?"
"That's my grandfather," Yu Tianlin said calmly. "He's talking to my second uncle about something."
"Your grandfather, His Majesty Thunder?" Flander and Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance, both visibly shaken.
"Don't worry. It's nothing serious," Yu Tianlin said. "Grandpa just stopped by to see Second Uncle. He'll leave soon. You can both go back and rest."
"Go back and sleep?" Flander could still vaguely hear the argument from inside, and his worry for Yu Xiaogang was written on his face.
But Zhao Wuji did not care about that. He had no desire to get dragged into this mess. Without another word, he forcibly pulled Flander away.
