Chapter 52: Tang San and His Father

Juguǐ Douluo did not answer.

Bi Bi Dong stopped speaking.

After a long while, Bi Bi Dong, alone, arrived at a small courtyard near the Pope's Hall.

Bi Bi Dong, looking at the man lying on a vine chair, leisurely basking in the sun, said lightly, "Sect Master Ning, this year has truly been leisurely."

Ning Fengzhi stood up with a smile and said, "Isn't it because the Pope under the crown claimed we betrayed the human race, forcing us to stay here?"

Bi Bi Dong averted his gaze, speaking evenly, "I can let you go, even help you capture the Poison Douluo."

Ning Fengzhi was startled for a moment, and, suspicious, asked, "What conditions is the Pope under the crown preparing to offer?"

Bi Bi Dong said, "Submit to me."

Ning Fengzhi fell silent.

Bi Bi Dong glanced, then turned and said, "Since you are unwilling, stay here; we have plenty of time and patience."

Ning Fengzhi hesitated, then said, "Fine."

In fact, what is currently trapping Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo is not the Spirit Hall's force.

It is Bi Bi Dong's words.

That they betrayed the human race.

With only that sentence and the evidence in Bi Bi Dong's hand, they could, after the three escaped, launch a siege on the Seven Treasure Glass Sect.

Such a seemingly justified reason leaves the world unable to argue any point.

But the main point is that the Seven Treasure Glass Sect's strength is far inferior to the Spirit Hall; even if the Spirit Hall were to siege them, what could it achieve?

Now Ning Fengzhi does not want to be trapped again; he wants to capture the Poison Douluo to exchange for his daughter.

Bi Bi Dong nodded in satisfaction, and then she once again led her team, together with the newly recruited Ning Fengzhi and the other two, setting off straight for Tian Dou City.

Such a display hardly looks like going to an auction.

After all, attending an auction is never as straightforward as seizing directly.

…

Blue Tyrant Academy.

Tang San…

No!

It should be said that Tang Wu is dealing with flirtations from a female classmate.

The current Tang San, with his martial soul undergoing a second awakening, has the top looks and talent in the whole school; how could he miss the girls' flirtations?

Just then, Ma Hongjun rushed over in a panic, saying, "San… Wu Ge, Wu Ge, it's a serious matter, a serious matter!"

Tang San replied calmly, "Fatty, what happened? Why are you so flustered?"

Ma Hongjun glanced at the pretty girl beside him.

Tang San instantly understood and said, "Sorry, Fatty and I have something to attend to; you go handle yours!"

The pretty girl left dejectedly.

Tang San asked, "Fatty, what exactly happened? How did it make you so urgent?"

Ma Hongjun hurried to Tang San's side, handed him a newspaper and said, "Read it yourself."

Tang San took it puzzled, but after a glance, he became unsettled.

Even though Xiao Wu had grown a lot over the year, Tang San recognized her at a glance.

Suddenly, a memory of his childhood promise to Xiao Wu flashed in his mind.

"I will forever protect my sister. I will not let any harm befall her."

Xiao Wu replied, "What if one day many people want to kill me, and those people are ones you cannot defeat, what then?"

"Then let them step over my corpse first," Tang San recalled his past self, answering so decisively, his tone so firm.

Tang San's stunned gaze instantly hardened.

"I must go save her!"

Ma Hongjun also nodded, "Then we'll go rescue together. But that Tian Dou Pai Mai Chang is truly heartless; Xiao Wu clearly has a martial soul, how could she be a reincarnated hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beast?"

Tang San's eyes flickered; he knew well that his original plan to kill Bai Yuan was all fabricated.

Now the three have become a tiger, and this has become the method most Soul Masters use to judge whether something is a reincarnated hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beast.

It's utterly absurd.

After thinking, Tang San nodded, "Thank you."

Ma Hongjun laughed, "I'll tell the boss. I'm telling you, that guy is very rich; perhaps we don't need to fight, we could buy it back."

Ma Hongjun ran off.

Tang San's eyes flickered briefly, as if idly wandering, and he walked into a secluded corner.

Tang Hao's tall figure then appeared.

Tang San asked, "Dad, is Xiao Wu really a reincarnated hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beast?"

Tang Hao hesitated, then gently nodded, "She is a reincarnated hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beast. I discovered her early on, but because of your mother, I pretended she didn't exist."

Tang San lowered his head.

Silence fell here.

Tang Hao made no move to speak, merely standing before Tang San like a towering iron lump.

After a long while, Tang San said, "Dad, can you help me save her?"

Tang Hao let out a sigh, "I've already gone to the Tian Dou Pai Mai Chang; Xiao Wu isn't there, she was taken away by those who captured her."

Tang San lowered his head, "So there's really no way to save her?"

Tang Hao fell silent.

Ten-odd seconds later, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Seven days later, the Title Douluo who come to Tian Dou City will surely be many; as long as that old thing from the Spirit Hall doesn't come, I still have a chance to take advantage of the chaos and snatch Xiao Wu for you, but that is merely an opportunity, and after snatching her, you must hide your identities."

Tang San smiled and said: "Thank you, Dad; as for the life of hiding our identities with Xiao Wu, I don't care."

Tang Hao smiled, he patted Tang San's shoulder, and his tiger eyes showed feeling and sorrow.

He in the past failed to protect his wife well; now he only wants to protect his son's sister well, not wanting his past tragedy to be replayed on his son.

A few seconds later, Tang Hao gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao San, take care of yourself these few days; I'll go get some people for you."

Tang San was stunned for a moment; he didn't expect his father to still know other people, and that the person his father could now call for him would at least be a Title Douluo.

"Thank you, Dad," Tang San said gratefully.

Tang Hao let out a sigh, and his figure disappeared.

He now needs to make a trip to the Clear Sky Sect.

Go to the Clear Sky Sect to admit fault.

Even though the chance of gaining support for this trip is minuscule, for the sake of his son, Tang Hao still prepares to give it a try.

At worst, it's just losing a bit of face.

……

Time flew by swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

During these seven days, Tian Dou City appeared extremely tranquil.

But the Tian Dou Pai Mai Chang, however, already had an unknown number of Title Douluo coming and going.

But the result was all the same, so they all waited, waiting for the moment the auction would begin.

However, even though the auction had not yet begun, today's Tian Dou Pai Mai Chang was already packed with people.

Each person's face wore a mask, their heads also wore a bamboo hat, after which black gauze draped down, until it wrapped the whole person up to bare feet.

Before seeing the restored hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, no one was willing to reveal their identity.

I feel that writing three chapters is still too much of a strain……
