Chapter 51: I Want... to Join the Spirit Pagoda!

"Wu Lin, I'm fine now."

Lang Yue sat on the hospital bed, a weak smile on her face, looking at Tang Wulin who wore a worried expression. "Sure enough, becoming a Soul Master makes you sturdy; you recovered all at once."

"..." Tang Wulin glanced at Lang Yue and at Tang Ziran on the other side, whose complexion was somewhat pale but who also showed a smile. He sniffed, forcing out a trace of a smile. "Of course I'm sturdy; I eat a whole lot of stuff every day."

It was close; today he had just barely avoided losing his dad and mom, losing his home...

Lang Yue laughed. "Being able to eat is a blessing; as long as our family's Wu Lin doesn't turn into a little fatty, that's fine."

In the ward by the window, Guang Long watched their family exchanging warm greetings and rolled his eyes. "You brat, you don't come show concern for me, your life-saving benefactor."

Hearing this, Tang Wulin looked at him solemnly, said nothing, walked up to Guang Long, and under the latter's astonished gaze, directly dropped to his knees with a thud.

"Thank you! Thank you for saving my dad and mom, thank you for keeping my family intact! Right now I have nothing to repay you with, but I will repay you in the future! Definitely!"

Lang Yue and Tang Ziran exchanged a glance, also wanting to climb out of bed to give thanks.

Without Brother Guang Long, they would have been separated from Wu Lin today, fallen into the hands of Evil Soul Masters; I'm afraid... there would have been no chance of coming back.

"You... this."

Guang Long was bewildered by Tang Wulin, but seeing the two patients also intending to do the same, he directly shouted loudly: "Do you want me, an injured patient, to get up and help you up too?!"

Tang Ziran and his wife paused; Tang Wulin, seeing Guang Long's furious look, could only stand up stiffly, head lowered, not uttering a word.

Seeing this, Guang Long's tone softened. "I have no parents; watching your family exchange warm greetings, I felt... envious. It wasn't that I truly wanted your thanks."

"..."

Hearing this, the Tang Wulin family spoke no more words of thanks, merely silently etching the other's kindness into their hearts.

Click.

At this moment, the sound of a door opening rang out, and two figures walked in, breaking the silence.

One of them Tang Wulin and the others already knew; it was Guang Long's older brother, also their life-saving benefactor Guang Biao. The other was a youthful and beautiful lady, in her early twenties.

After entering, Guang Biao first glared fiercely at Guang Long, making the latter awkwardly turn his head away, then nodded at the Tang Ziran couple, his expression grave.

"You suffered an Evil Soul Master attack; merely being healed by a Healing Soul Master isn't safe enough. Let the person beside me examine you once more."

Speaking, Guang Biao turned his head and nodded at that woman.

"My name is Gong Lingyao; my martial soul is a bit special, so don't be scared when you see it, okay?" Gong Lingyao stepped forward, smiled gently, and five standard Soul Rings appeared beside her. A pitch-black shadow split from her body and drifted one by one over the bodies of the Tang Ziran family and Guang Long.

Black airflow remained on the four people. Tang Wulin curiously touched it and did not feel afraid.

This older sister's martial soul looked strange like that Evil Soul Master's, but her whole body lacked that kind of cold, gloomy aura; instead, she gave a warm feeling.

Gong Lingyao closed her eyes and sensed for a while, then opened them and shook her head at Guang Biao. "No problem. That Evil Soul Master's cultivation is below mine, and his martial soul isn't a soul-related type; there won't be any mistake."

"Many thanks to you, Miss Gong Lingyao."

Guang Biao breathed a sigh of relief.

Finding this person was mainly still because he was worried about his younger brother; the Tang Ziran family was just incidental.

"It's nothing; this is my duty."

Gong Lingyao smiled faintly, accepted everyone's thanks, then took her leave and departed.

Once the sound of the door closing rang out, Guang Biao looked at Tang Wulin.

"Little friend, you go out for a bit; I have something I want to talk to your parents about."

Hearing this, Tang Wulin looked at his father; seeing him nod, he obediently walked out of the room.

Seeing this, Guang Biao paid no heed to Guang Long beside him frantically signaling him with his eyes, and directly asked the Tang Ziran couple: "Do you know the reason the Evil Soul Masters attacked you? If this matter isn't figured out, your family will still meet with trouble."

With this incident happening to Guang Long this time, no matter what he said he wouldn't let the other party stay outside; using the excuse of having heard classified information, he would keep him in the Mecha Battalion!

The Tang Ziran couple exchanged a glance at these words; the former took a deep breath and spoke: "It might... be related to a Mecha Design Blueprint..."

Guang Biao listened, did not speak rashly, but inexplicably felt something was off.

The achievements of these two in the Mecha Design aspect weren't too high; would the Holy Spirit Cult really send people to seize them just for this? Do Evil Soul Masters also want to manufacture Mecha?

After Tang Ziran finished speaking, Guang Biao considered for a while, then said: "Can you tell me what research you do in the pharmaceutical aspect?"

Tang Ziran did not find it strange that Guang Biao knew his identity; his and his wife's identities were in the Federation records, and they weren't some super-powerful experts; with Guang Biao's status, an investigation would reveal it.

"Pharmaceutical aspect... we research Spirit-type Medicine."

Guang Biao, hearing this, finally reached a conclusion.

Whether it was for the Mecha Design Blueprint or for this kind of medicine, to make things difficult for two ordinary researchers was enough to show the Holy Spirit Cult... I'm afraid has something wrong with their brains!

There are so many good researchers; you Evil Soul Masters just pick these two, and it looks like you've chased them for so many years; what's wrong with you?

These two don't have anything special either, right? Except for their child who is valued by the Spirit Pagoda...

Thinking this in his heart, Guang Biao did not show it on his face; after all, Evil Soul Masters' way of thinking is indeed hard to fathom with normal logic.

Moreover, the two before him were just ordinary people; their vision wasn't broad; they might have omitted some important information.

Just investigate from the two aspects of the blueprint and the spirit medicine.

Before leaving, Guang Biao glanced at Guang Long who was shrinking back like an ostrich, coldly snorted, and gave a reminder to the Tang Ziran couple.

"You two had best rejoin the Official side or see if you can enter a major power by capability; those people might make a move again; I can't possibly arrive in time every time."

Tang Ziran pursed his lips, nodded and thanked him. "I understand!"

Tang Wulin waited outside the ward for a while, staring at the ceiling, who knows what he was thinking, until Guang Biao walked out. Just as he wanted to go in, he suddenly heard Guang Biao's voice transmission.

"These words are a bit heavy, but as someone who's been there, I have to tell you: if you have talent and opportunity, don't waste them; there is no Regret Medicine in the world."

Tang Wulin's movement paused; he nodded, entered the room, and walked to his parents' bedside.

Tang Ziran silently looked at him for a while, then suddenly said:

"Wu Lin, do you still remember what I once said? In this world, the only person you can completely trust and rely on is yourself."

Tang Wulin silently nodded.

Since childhood his father had told him: only when you yourself are strong is it truly strong.

Tang Ziran revealed a comforted smile, about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Tang Wulin, "But, I am your child, you can always rely on me!"

Speaking, Tang Wulin seemed to have made some determination, turning around and walking out of this hospital room without looking back, leaving only a single sentence.

"Dad, Mom, wait for me to come back!"

Time flows on, things quietly slip away. But in this moment, all the past, because of the future, pressed down.

……

Tang Wulin ran on the road, many memories surfacing in his mind.

The Spirit Transmitter uncle handed the Storage Bracelet to him, "Take out your best performance, let me know I didn't misjudge you!"

"Wu Lin, accept it, I believe you can repay this kindness."

"Little friend Tang Wulin, your Forging Talent is very good, do you, want to join the Spirit Pagoda?"

Light Biao patted his shoulder, laughing: "Don't waste your talent in Forging."

Xie Xie with a solemn face, "The Bracelet on your hand represents the Spirit Pagoda's recognition."

"I have no parents, watching your family warm and caring, somewhat... envious."

"As someone who has been there, I want to tell you, if you have talent and opportunity, don't waste it, there is no Regret Medicine in the world."

Finally, it was the thought that once rose.

Become someone like the Light Biao Captain, possess the power to protect family... can he do it too?

……

The reminder not to seek great powers disappeared from Tang Wulin's mind at this moment, and when his thoughts paused, he was already standing inside the Spirit Pagoda, saying to the startled girl:

"I want... to join the Spirit Pagoda!"

He believes in the people he met all the way.
