Disposition

A few days later, a Raven flew wearily into Seven Treasure City and was spotted by Amon the moment it entered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

--"Gah!"

Amon spread his wings and soared into the sky in a flash, like a long black shadow, and in an instant he joined the Raven.

The two birds clearly knew each other, and flew around each other for a while before Amon led the Raven to Zhou You.

In the distance, several Soul Masters from their sect who had been following the Raven saw it fly into Zhou You's house, so they gave up the chase and turned to leave.

Zhou You took the letter from the Raven's leg, read it, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Has it reached that point yet?

Tang San's awakening of his martial soul signifies that the original timeline's storyline has begun.

However, this time, the other person probably won't encounter the lover who needs his help to comb their hair and be resurrected.

Zhou You looked at another sheet of paper on the table, which was filled with beautiful handwriting, as if the words were brimming with bright vitality.

Although he and Xiao Wu haven't seen each other in recent years, they still keep in touch frequently and their relationship has remained good.

Because of this connection, the Zhou Family's herb-gathering team was almost invincible in the Star Dou Great Forest, always able to find medicinal herbs of excellent age and quality.

Although Xiao Wu disliked humans' indiscriminate hunting of Soul Beasts, she didn't mind humans entering the forest to gather herbs. Out of respect for Zhou You, she often instructed her low-level Soul Beasts to secretly help the Zhou Family's herb-gathering teams find their way.

Zhou You also strictly ordered his herb-gathering teams not to kill Soul Beasts indiscriminately unless absolutely necessary. Of course, he couldn't say the real reason directly, so he gave the excuse of "sustainable development." He was tough on them, and his subordinates naturally obeyed.

Therefore, the Zhou Family's herb-gathering team is a rare sight on the entire continent, a team of Soul Masters who can get along harmoniously with Soul Beasts.

They even feed herbivorous Soul Beasts specially made Fodder Grass; needless to say, this was clearly something they learned from their Zhou You, Zhou You.

Thanks to Xiao Wu, although Zhou You rarely went to the Star Dou Great Forest, he knew quite a bit about what was going on inside.

However, her handwriting has improved remarkably. Zhou You remembers that five years ago, Xiao Wu could only write in a scrawled, dog-like manner, but now she writes quite well.

I don't know how she, a little rabbit, managed to do that.

As for Tang San...

After thinking for a moment, Zhou You laid another sheet of paper on the table.

He had no intention of reporting this to his superiors; if he had wanted to, he could have done so years ago.

The reason he let it go was twofold: first, he had no grudge against Tang San and was too lazy to target him; second, he was somewhat skeptical about the "Chosen One" thing itself.

If the concept of "luck" truly exists, then Tang San is undoubtedly the only example in the world today, and keeping him alive is more valuable than eliminating him.

Moreover, the concept of "the chosen one" is somewhat mysterious. Take Tang San for example; in the original story, he encountered countless life-or-death crises, yet he always managed to escape unscathed and even advance further.

In Zhou You's view, every time Tang San encountered a life-or-death crisis, it was like he was "undergoing tribulation," and every villain who targeted him was like a tool to help him overcome the tribulation.

Following this logic, Zhou You should also be more cautious to avoid becoming cannon fodder for the other party's tribulation.

So he wrote on the letter, "I have received your letter. Please continue to pay attention to the Tang family. In addition, your undercover investigation may be inappropriate. I suggest..."

He then wrote down some instructions. According to the original novel, Tang San should be very poor now, so in order to survive, he would definitely go to the Spirit Hall to register as a registered Soul Master in order to receive benefits.

Once the other party is registered, the Spirit Hall will have a legal basis to govern him, and can monitor him through other administrative means in the future.

After finishing writing, Zhou You put the letter back into the bamboo tube on the Raven's foot.

"Take the letter back." With that, Zhou You casually scooped up a handful of special feed and fed it.

After the Raven had eaten and drunk its fill, it spread its wings again and flew into the sky. The distance from Seven Treasure City to Nuoding City was not short.

Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch.

It's the same familiar place, the same familiar room.

Su Yuntao looked somewhat tired, but he still mustered his energy to report to Zhou Chengjie.

"Your Excellency, I have obtained all the information about the Tang family father and son."

Zhou Chengjie responded, signaling him to continue.

"Tang San's father Tang Hao. He came to Holy Soul Village about five years ago. He works as a blacksmith, making farm tools for the villagers to earn a living."

At this point, Su Yuntao's face showed a hint of disdain. "According to our secret investigation, Tang Hao has a terrible reputation. He's a heavy drinker, doesn't care about his children at all, and spends two-thirds of his day in a drunken stupor."

"That Tang San is a good kid; everyone in the neighborhood praises him. He's only six years old, and he already cooks for his father, who drinks every day. I heard that the village chief of Holy Soul Village wanted Tang San to attend the Spirit Hall Academy in Nuoding City, but Tang Hao actually disagreed!"

This was unimaginable to Su Yuntao. You have to understand that even if Blue Silver Grass is just a Trash Martial Soul, as long as Tang San can become Soul Master, his social status will immediately take a qualitative leap, which is equivalent to crossing the class in one go.

On this continent, even the worst Soul Master is stronger than an ordinary person. This is a world that countless people would do anything to enter.

That bastard Tang Hao actually refused!

Zhou Chengjie listened silently. At this moment, he was basically certain that the down-on-his-luck blacksmith who frequented Holy Soul Village was none other than Haotian Douluo Tang Hao himself, and Tang San was probably the child he had with that transformed soul beast.

A hybrid of human and Soul Beast —that's incredibly rare! Zhou Chengjie's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

He didn't know why this Clear Sky Douluo had willingly chosen to live in seclusion in Holy Soul Village, but such a person staying here was undoubtedly a ticking time bomb, making him restless and unable to eat or sleep.

Zhou Chengjie then asked some more questions, and fortunately Su Yuntao did quite well this time, answering them all.

Then, silence fell over the room.

Zhou Chengjie's expression shifted as he racked his brains, trying to figure out how to handle the current predicament.

Su Yuntao glanced at him cautiously, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Your Excellency, is there a problem with Tang Hao and his son?"

It was only because Zhou Chengjie was usually quite approachable that Su Yuntao dared to ask such a question; otherwise, as a Soul Grandmaster in his early twenties, he wouldn't even have the right to meet Zhou Chengjie.

"This matter is of great importance. You'd better not get involved. Keep everything you found out to yourself; don't tell anyone, understand?"

Zhou Chengjie's stern tone startled Su Yuntao, who trembled again and quickly nodded, "Understood, Your Excellency, I promise I won't tell anyone!"

"But what do we do now?"

Zhou Chengjie hesitated, about to say something, when his ears suddenly twitched and he heard the familiar cawing of crows.

He went to the window, opened it, and a Raven flew in and landed on his forearm.

--"Gah!"

The Raven raised a claw and offered the small letter tube to him.

Zhou Chengjie immediately opened it, and after a moment, his expression changed slightly. Then, he crumpled the letter into a pile of paper scraps.

"Listen, here's what you're going to do..."
