Was That Xie Xie?

Was That... Xie Xie?

"..."

"We're here in Eastsea City."

That afternoon, the family of four appeared at Eastsea City's Soul Guidance Station. Tang Ziran wore a smile as he said it.

Right now, the family had just taken the Soul Guidance Train from Aolai City, with Eastsea City as its final destination.

Eastsea City ranked second in overall strength among coastal cities, second only to Skysea City, where geniuses gathered. Its scenery was pleasant too, making it the most suitable place to live.

"Come on, my treasures."

"Let's go to our new home!"

Tang Ziran smiled as he hailed a taxi and spoke slowly.

"Okay!"

Not long after, Tang Luochuan and the others arrived at a residence at least twice as large as their former one, and it was not far from the Intermediate Academy either.

"Dad."

"Are you and Mom really going to work in Eastsea City from now on too?"

Light shone in Tang Wulin's eyes as he said it.

In truth, just last night, he had even had a nightmare. He had dreamed that Mom and Dad left him, that even his big brother disappeared, and that he alone came to Eastsea City in solitude...

He did not even dare to imagine it.

If he really ended up like that, what kind of person would he become?

Perhaps there would not be any problems at first, but once enough time passed, whether mentally or in every other aspect, there would definitely be major problems.

"Yes. Although Intermediate Academy has dorms, now that we've come to Eastsea City, it will be much more convenient for you to come home."

"Of course, your mom's and my work has already been transferred over to Eastsea City too. As for salary..."

"You can just think of it as a promotion and a raise."

Tang Ziran said with a smile.

He had an old acquaintance in this city, someone who was also a mecha master like him, and who had found him a very good job for the current stage...

Why the current stage?

Naturally, it was because with his former professional rank, the other party would not even have been able to afford to hire him.

"Yay!"

Tang Wulin said with anticipation on his face. Eastsea City, a new city—hopefully good things would happen!

"We'll tidy up in a bit. Dad's friend invited us to dinner, so we'll go out together later."

Tang Ziran patted his head and said with a smile.

"Huh!"

"Are we going to have a feast?"

Tang Wulin's eyes instantly lit up.

"Oh, you."

"You little foodie, all you think about is eating."

Seeing her younger son's expression, Lang Yue immediately laughed and tapped him on the head, unable to help speaking softly.

"Hehe."

Tang Wulin scratched the back of his head a little sheepishly. He did not know why, but ever since he dreamed of that Giant Dragon, he had become able to eat far too much.

And every time he finished eating, he felt his strength increase. It had been like that all the way until he completed Thousand Refinements. It was super amazing, honestly.

"Hahahahaha."

"We are going to have a feast."

Tang Ziran did not pay too much attention to it. He gently patted the boy's little head and said with a smile.

Not long after.

The center of Eastsea City, the Xie Family.

"Brother Tianhai, sorry to keep you waiting."

After arriving at a villa, Tang Luochuan finally saw just who his father's friend was.

He was a middle-aged man who looked about forty, with an imposing expression on his face and an air of wealth in his speech and bearing. His status was probably anything but ordinary.

Beside him was a little boy who looked about their age. His cultivation was around rank eighteen, and his talent was fairly good.

"Wait."

"Rank eighteen."

At that thought, Tang Luochuan's expression could not help turning a little strange. Rank eighteen. Of all things, rank eighteen!

Back when he first heard Dad say the other party's surname was Xie, Tang Luochuan had already felt that something was off. Now, the thought in his heart was triggered even further. Could this friend of Dad's be...

"Big Brother Tang is here. Please, come in and sit. Xie Xie, this is Dad's good friend. Call him Uncle Tang."

Seeing Tang Ziran and the other three appear, the man's face immediately filled with smiles. He welcomed everyone inside and laughed as he spoke.

His name was Xie Tianhai, the head of the Eastsea Xie Family.

Their ancestors had also produced Super Douluo-level powerhouses. They were a famous mecha family in Eastsea City. As for his relationship with Tang Ziran, that had to be traced back over ten years.

At that time, he had still been young. While traveling through Star Luo Continent, he met Tang Ziran, who was also a mecha master, and the two forged a friendship.

He had thought there would be no chance to meet again after that, but unexpectedly, three years ago, when he happened to go to the talent management center, he ran into this old acquaintance.

"..."

But when he heard the name of the man's son, Tang Luochuan revealed an expression that said, just as expected, and sighed inwardly.

Talk about whatever you thought of turning up. This boy really was Xie Xie!

Not "xie" as in thanks, but Xie Xie, with the "xie" from encounter!

"I really didn't expect Dad's friend..."

"To actually be Xie Xie's father, the head of the Xie Family."

Tang Luochuan could not help sighing inwardly for a moment. He only felt that this world was a little too small. The two of them actually knew each other!

If he had known this earlier.

Why bother going all the way to the distant Star Luo Continent in the Original Work!

"Hello, Uncle Tang."

Xie Xie looked at the group before him. As if he was very reluctant to deal with this kind of scene with many people, he merely said this indifferently.

"Hello there, little friend. There was a bit of traffic on the way, so we made you wait for a while."

Tang Ziran looked at the little boy in front of him and smiled faintly, then looked toward the man and spoke slowly.

"Oh, that's nothing. Being able to welcome Big Brother Tang makes any amount of waiting worth it."

Xie Tianhai smiled and shook his head, not minding it.

"These two must be Luochuan and Wulin, right? They really are well-behaved children."

"Xie Xie, both of these big brothers are exceptionally talented geniuses. In the future, they will also attend Eastsea Academy. You must build a good relationship with them."

Xie Tianhai's gaze turned toward Tang Luochuan and Tang Wulin. With undisguised delight on his face, he spoke slowly.

He had heard Tang Ziran talk about his two sons more than a few times. These two little fellows were not simple!

He did not know about Wulin, but Luochuan's talent was Innate Full Soul Power. Presumably, he would not be lacking in the slightest...

"Geniuses?"

Hearing this, Xie Xie was clearly very interested, but he quickly shook his head, his gaze toward the two carrying disdain.

He could not tell what cultivation that Tang Luochuan had. He looked rather strong, but as for that younger brother, Wulin, he could sense him clearly.

He was merely a measly Level 12 Soul Master. That counted as a genius too?

When he was six, he had been more than level twelve!

"Geniuses?"

"They don't look like much to me."

Xie Xie snorted softly.

What geniuses? He was nothing more than a little piece of trash.

"So for the next while, Big Brother Tang will be developing here in Eastsea City?"

Not paying attention to his son's situation, Xie Tianhai looked at Tang Ziran in front of him and asked expectantly.

"That's right."

"After all, both children will be going to school here too. As for work, I'll have to rely on you, Tianhai."

Tang Ziran wore a smile as he spoke slowly.

"It's nothing, nothing."

"After all, with your abilities, even if you went to Heaven Dou City or somewhere else, you'd be treated as an honored guest. In this Eastsea City, it really is a bit unfair to you and sister-in-law."

Xie Tianhai shook his head, then could not help sighing.

He vaguely remembered that when he met them, the married couple before him had already been Level 7 Mecha manufacturers and designers. One had to know that back then, they had only been in their twenties.

And even now, when they were not yet forty and were already Rank 8 Mecha Masters... their futures were still limitless.

"I don't have such lofty ambitions anymore."

"I only hope that in Eastsea City, the two little guys can cultivate happily."

Tang Ziran shook his head. All he hoped for was that his family could be safe and happy.

And that both his sons could become the powerful soul masters they wanted to become.

"Still, Eastsea Academy really is quite good this time. Among the New Student teachers, there is even one teacher who is..."

At this moment, Tang Ziran's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked.

He remembered the other party saying that among this year's teachers at Eastsea City's Soul Master Academy, there was one who came from that place...

"Inner Court."

And when he heard the other party say those two words, Tang Ziran's expression could no longer remain calm.

Shrek Inner Court. Anyone who could enter that place would at least become a Titled Douluo in the future, and a Titled Douluo from Shrek would at least be a Three-Word Battle Armor Master. This person...

Their potential and talent were unfathomable!
