Chapter 140: Mother... after you are resurrected in the future, do you plan to find a stepfather for me?
"Little... Little San, your father isn't what you think he is. He... he might have had his own difficulties, perhaps."
After a moment of silence, Ah Yin ultimately chose to believe in Tang Hao and their love. She simply felt that perhaps Little San was too young to understand the difficulties Tang Hao faced as a father.
Seeing his mother's stubborn expression, Tang San was momentarily at a loss for words.
His mother was merely being blinded by those evil Tang Family members, but as her son, he couldn't talk back to his mother like that; otherwise, wouldn't that be a great act of unfilial piety?
Immediately, he looked toward Jiang Li with a hopeful gaze, wishing his Master could speak up and help explain.
Jiang Li responded with a reassuring look, indicating that he was there and everything would be fine.
"Madam, after all, you were a Transformed Soul Beast back then. You might not fully understand the schemes and deceptions among humans."
"Tang Hao, and even the entire Clear Sky Sect, are definitely not as good as you imagine."
Ah Yin looked toward the source of the voice and found that the speaker was Jiang Li. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly. "Why do you say that, Sir?"
Jiang Li walked slowly to a spot not far from Ah Yin. He used the Blue Silver Emperor Vine in his hand to weave several stools, signaling Tang San and Xiao Wu to sit down before continuing. Then, a blue-gold Domain spread out, isolating them from any outside prying.
"Madam, your identity as a hundred thousand year Transformed Soul Beast back then was indeed reported to Spirit Hall by the Clear Sky Sect. The person who sent the secret letter was Tang Hao's father, the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect at that time, Tang Zhen."
"Furthermore, your identity might have been discovered by Tang Xiao the first time you met the Tang Hao brothers. After all, he was already a Soul Douluo expert at that time."
"Although I don't have exact evidence for some things, personally, I am more inclined toward this scenario."
A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared at the corners of Jiang Li's mouth. Although what he was about to say might be considered unofficial history without evidence, as long as the logic was sound, this unofficial history might not necessarily fail to become official history.
Moreover, given the character of those Tang Family members, those things were likely true nine times out of ten.
"Originally, after Tang Xiao discovered you were a hundred thousand year Transformed Soul Beast, because he hadn't reached the Titled Douluo level, he chose to travel with you to keep you by his side, preparing to kill you for your Soul Ring when he or Tang Hao reached Level 90."
"However, those two great hammer-wielding boors likely fell in love with you, Madam, during their travels. One chose to withdraw and return to the Clear Sky Sect, while the other chose to continue traveling the continent with you."
"A hundred thousand year Transformed Soul Beast must have Innate Full Soul Power. As Tang Hao was the most talented Disciple of the Clear Sky Sect at the time, any child born from your union would inevitably be exceptionally gifted. Looking at Little San's current situation, the facts indeed prove this."
"That boor Tang Hao is an out-and-out Sect slave; he would inevitably put the interests of the Clear Sky Sect first."
"Perhaps he did have feelings for you, Madam, during your days of traveling together. However, in the end, he still chose the Sect. He chose to follow his father's arrangements, using the power of Spirit Hall to allow himself to become a Clear Sky Hammer Titled Douluo with a 100,000-year soul ring."
"He likely placed you in that dark little cave because, first, he felt too guilty to face you, and second, because only one Blue Silver Emperor can exist at a time in a single generation."
"Once you were successfully resurrected, Madam, Tang San might have had to remain the blue silver crown prince for his entire life. How then could their Clear Sky Sect rely on Little San to rise to prominence once again?"
Ah Yin's expression went from doubt at the beginning to seriousness in the middle, and finally to disbelief at the end.
Although she was a hundred thousand year Transformed Soul Beast, she was no fool.
The logic of Jiang Li's well-founded analysis was simply too rigorous; otherwise, there would be no way to explain those events from back then.
"Hmph—"
"Third Brother, that evil Clear Sky Sect is truly disgusting!"
Xiao Wu said indignantly from the side.
As a fellow Transformed Soul Beast, she also knew that if she hadn't been lucky enough to meet Jiang Li, her fate might have been to be calculated into becoming one of Tang San's Soul Rings.
Even if she was now willing to sacrifice everything for Tang San when encountering danger, how could being voluntary be the same as being calculated against?
Ah Yin looked toward Xiao Wu; she already knew that the other was also a hundred thousand year Transformed Soul Beast.
But thinking about what Jiang Li just said and then looking at this Little Rabbit...
"Hao... Tang Hao wouldn't do that..."
Clearly, Ah Yin could not accept all of this.
Were the solemn vows of the past actually just for the Soul Ring and Soul Bone on her body?
And also...
"Sigh, Mother, that unfilial father and the people from that evil Sect have already come to cause trouble for my Tang Sect several times, wanting to take the Tang Sect's foundation for themselves."
"Even that unfilial father tried to attack Master and the others after failing to use moral kidnapping. However, their final result was simply one dead and one injured."
Seeing his mother weeping so piteously, Tang San also felt very distressed.
But since some things had been said, they had to be settled thoroughly. "Master, there are some things I want to talk to my mother about privately. Could you take Xiao Wu away for a moment?"
Tang San said with a pleading look.
"Sigh, alright Little San, try to persuade your mother more."
As soon as he spoke, without waiting for Xiao Wu to say anything, Jiang Li took the Little Rabbit to the other side of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
When only he and Ah Yin were left, Tang San spent a long time composing himself. Even if what he was about to say was somewhat rebellious, he still had to say it. "Mother, that one with a filthy Bloodline, Tang Hao, is not worthy of making you so sad. Sooner or later, Little San will leave not even a chicken or dog alive in that evil Sect; I will not let a single person who has harmed Mother go."
Hearing her Son speak like this, Ah Yin felt countless warm currents flowing through her heart.
She raised her illusory hand, attempting to stroke the top of Tang San's head, but it passed right through. "Little San, you are a filial child."
"Those things have passed after all. Mother hopes that in the end, no matter what, you will spare his life. After all, he also..."
Originally, Tang San wanted to grind Tang Hao's bones to dust to avenge his calculation against his mother back then.
But since his mother said so, when the time came, he would only cripple his cultivation and let him become an ordinary man who couldn't even shoulder a heavy load!
Furthermore, he wanted that evil person to watch helplessly as their family of three... four... or perhaps five people lived happily together.
Seeing Ah Yin's emotions slowly stabilize, Tang San finally asked the thought in his heart aloud: "Mother... after you are resurrected in the future, do you plan to find a stepfather for me?"
