Yun Chuan's Dilemma

A vast, magnificent hall—this was where the Pope worked.

"Holy Soul Village, Tang San, Blue Silver Grass, Innate Full Soul Power?"

The Female Pope was holding a report sent back by the Soul Masters responsible for awakening Martial Souls in the regions below. Her beautiful eyes were filled with contemplation. Looking at the latest Martial Soul awakening report in her hand, she could almost immediately determine, upon seeing those simple details, that the child named Tang San's awakened Martial Soul was definitely not as simple as Blue Silver Grass.

According to Spirit Hall's years of research, they had discovered a pattern: Innate Soul Power was directly proportional to the quality of one's Martial Soul. In other words, those with high Innate Soul Power could not possibly possess weak Martial Souls. Yet judging by the brief information here, the so-called worthless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could only possess Innate Full Soul Power under two possible circumstances.

One possibility was that this Blue Silver Grass was not ordinary Blue Silver Grass. It merely looked like Blue Silver Grass on the surface, while in truth it was a higher-grade Martial Soul.

The other possibility was that, aside from this Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, the child possessed another Martial Soul as well. Twin Spirits!

And considering that the child's surname was Tang, combined with his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and his approximate age... Bibi Dong was practically one hundred percent certain that this child named Tang San was most likely Yun Chuan's twin brother.

"Truly unbelievable... Two brothers born of the same mother, and both awakened Twin Spirits." Bibi Dong looked at the report in her hand, finding it hard to believe. What good deed had Tang Hao done in his previous life to produce two sons with such outstanding talent?

At that moment, the pattering sound of hurried little footsteps came from outside, gradually drawing closer.

"Mommy~"

Accompanied by a sweet, syrupy cry, Yun Chuan came running in through the hall entrance and threw himself into the Female Pope's arms. He rubbed against her vigorously, then discreetly took a deep breath. The milky scent that washed over him, mingled with a woman's delicate fragrance, was simply refreshing~

Bibi Dong gently set down the document in her hand and held the little fellow who had leapt into her embrace, stroking his long black hair as it cascaded smoothly down his back. It was as though she were smoothing the fur of a little kitten~

"Mommy, what are you reading?" After inhaling for quite a while and finally soothing his bruised little heart with mommy energy, Yun Chuan reluctantly pulled himself free from the Female Pope's soft, fragrant embrace. He asked curiously, but when his gaze casually swept over the document on the table, it suddenly froze!

Looking at the words recorded on the document—Holy Soul Village, Tang San, Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, Innate Full Soul Power, and so on—

Yun Chuan's heart sank, and he found himself unusually conflicted.

He was torn over whether he should find an opportunity to tell Bibi Dong where Tang Hao and Tang San were, then kill Tang San, the Child of Destiny, before he had the chance to grow up. That would eliminate all future trouble!

If he had no connection to the Tang father and son in this life, and if he were still a member of Spirit Hall, then there would naturally be no need for hesitation. He would immediately find a chance to reveal their whereabouts to the Female Pope and kill those two future threats as soon as possible!

But unfortunately, in this life, he was Tang Hao's son and Tang San's twin brother. Blood ties were not something he could simply sever.

It was not that Yun Chuan was reluctant to act because of familial affection or blood relations. Having grown up in Spirit Hall, this was his home. Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were his family.

A birth mother was no match for the mother who raised you—that was the truth of it.

As for Tang Hao and Tang San?

Who the hell were they?

If they truly dared threaten his family's lives, he would show them no mercy! Biological father or biological brother, he would hammer them all the same!

The reason Yun Chuan was struggling over whether to betray them was entirely because Tang Hao had, after all, given him life in this world. Killing his own biological father just like that was something he could not get past in his heart. It went against the moral values he had always held!

Forget it. I'll let nature take its course and keep quiet.

Yun Chuan finally made his decision.

With my talent, becoming powerful in the future will be far too easy. The Tang father and son pose no threat at all. If they dare seek revenge, I'll smash them flat with one hammer!

As long as I keep growing stronger—strong enough that no one can defeat me!

Then I'll be able to protect Mommy, Xue Jie, and the others!

And Tang San? A petty man who only knows how to use hidden weapons. He's nothing more than a Jumping Clown, not worth mentioning!

If he wants to destroy Spirit Hall and kill Mommy, Xue Jie, and the others like in the original story, he'll have to get past me first!!!

The more Yun Chuan thought about it, the more relaxed he felt. It was as if some knot in his heart had come undone, leaving his mind incomparably clear. At that moment, his Mental Power surged explosively like never before!

Clearly, after making the right decision in accordance with his own state of mind, Yun Chuan's spiritual realm made considerable progress at that moment!

"Nothing much. I just saw an interesting little fellow." Hearing his question, a flicker passed through the Female Pope's beautiful eyes. In the end, she casually set the Martial Soul awakening record aside, with no intention of investigating further. She decided to pretend not to know and spare Tang San.

Part of it was certainly for Yun Chuan's sake, but more importantly, there was simply no need.

After all, she had no real grudge against Tang Hao and his son. If anything, Tang Hao had done her a favor. Had he not severely injured Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong would never have had the opportunity to kill that beast.

All these years, the one who had ordered Spirit Hall to hunt down Tang Hao and his son had actually been Qian Xunji's father, Qian Daoliu. At most, Bibi Dong merely put on a show and cooperated with him. She had never been particularly invested in capturing Tang Hao and his son.

Qian Daoliu actually knew that Bibi Dong was the one who had truly killed his son. But because Bibi Dong was a Divine Trial candidate, and because she was ultimately the mother of his granddaughter, he had suppressed the hatred of losing his son out of wariness and consideration for his granddaughter. He then vented all his fury upon Tang Hao, the man who had severely injured his son!

What did it matter if he knew Tang Hao had not truly killed his son?

If you hadn't severely injured my son, how could Bibi Dong have taken the opportunity to kill him!

You bear responsibility for my son's death too!

That was why Spirit Hall's pursuit of Tang Hao had never ceased over the years. It forced him to hide from place to place, until he finally fell so low that he could only live in a small village and make a living as a blacksmith.

Seeing Bibi Dong casually set Tang San's information aside, clearly with no intention of looking into it further, Yun Chuan's eyes flickered. Beyond his surprise, he also felt a vague sense of understanding. He did not believe that the Female Pope had failed to see the problem with Tang San. Even Yu Xiaogang, that worthless Grandmaster who only knew how to spout nonsense, could see it. How could Bibi Dong possibly fail to notice?

In truth, the information Tang San displayed on the surface had already revealed many problems.

First, his surname was Tang. Then, his Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass.

Those two details alone were enough to make one think of Tang Hao and his wife, the Blue Silver Emperor.

Not to mention the extremely obvious trait of Innate Full Soul Power.

Innate Full Soul Power was exceedingly rare. If properly nurtured, there was an enormous chance that one could become a Titled Douluo in the future!

One had to know that even among disciples of the great sects with long inheritances, the talent of Innate Full Soul Power was extremely rare. It was not a qualification just anyone could possess.

That level of talent was already absurd enough, yet this person with Innate Full Soul Power had a worthless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass... Taken together, all these clues had already exposed the truth quite clearly.

Yun Chuan did not believe Bibi Dong had failed to notice.

But seeing that she had no desire to pursue the matter, after thinking it over, he more or less guessed her reasoning. The Bibi Dong of the original story had probably been much the same as she was now.

So in the original story, Mother had already spared Tang San once. Yun Chuan could not help sighing inwardly. Unfortunately, her kindness was wasted on ingrates. In the end, that child she spared in a moment of mercy caused all her efforts to come to nothing and led to her tragic death!

Thinking of this, he became even more resolute in his determination to protect his mother!

He had to cultivate diligently!

Only by possessing invincible strength could he protect the loved ones dearest to him!
