The Self-Deceiving Grandmaster

At that moment, Tang San did not know why, but he badly wanted to say, "I'll go with you too!"

He could not let Xiao Wu be alone with Mo Bai.

Only, he could not say it. His father was still waiting for him at home, and he had to go back.

In the end, Tang San could only watch in great discomfort as Xiao Wu, who had packed her luggage, left Notting Academy together with Mo Bai.

"Silly boy..."

Tang Hao, who had seen this scene from the shadows, could not help finding it rather amusing.

He had not expected his son to still be so young and yet already have a girl he liked!

"Only, the one you've fallen for isn't some simple little girl!"

Then Tang Hao silently said another line in his heart.

As the one secretly protecting Tang San, how could Tang Hao not know Xiao Wu's identity?

Only, because his own former wife had also been a 100,000 Year Soul Beast who had taken human form, after Tang Hao learned that Xiao Wu was a human transformed from a 100,000 Year Soul Beast, he did not harbor too many malicious thoughts.

Keep Xiao Wu penned up, then when Tang San reached rank eighty, kill her and absorb the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and spirit bone.

It was not as if he had never had such a thought.

Only, every time such an idea arose, he would immediately think of his wife, Ah Yin, and so he instantly dismissed that thought.

If he really did that, or even schemed to make Xiao Wu sacrifice herself, he would never again have the face to see Ah Yin!

Now that he had discovered Tang San had actually fallen for Xiao Wu, Tang Hao was even less likely to make a move!

Only, Xiao Wu suddenly wanting to go back with Mo Bai made Tang Hao somewhat displeased. It felt as if something that should have belonged to his son had actually been snatched away by someone else.

However, he was not shameless enough to use his status as a Titled Douluo to bully a child.

His dignity as a Titled Douluo powerhouse would not allow him to do such a thing!

Besides, as he saw it, that kid Mo Bai had no thoughts about Xiao Wu at all, and even did not want to take her along to play. He was nowhere near as mature as his son!

"As for what happens later, let nature take its course!"

"If Xiao San gives up on that little girl, that wouldn't be a bad thing either!"

"For humans and soul beasts to be together is difficult in the end. One misstep and it's another tragedy!"

So in the end, Tang Hao chose to let nature take its course and did nothing.

Tang Hao, who had chosen to let nature take its course, went to find Grandmaster the next day.

He was going to leave for a period of time, so he had to entrust Tang San to Grandmaster for now!

Bang, bang, bang. At Grandmaster's dormitory, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

"Come in." Grandmaster put down the book in his hand and said calmly.

"Hello, Grandmaster." Tang Hao's voice was low and somewhat hoarse.

For some reason, the moment Tang Hao entered, Grandmaster's entire body tensed subconsciously. Even his Soul Power unconsciously spread throughout his body.

"You are?" Slowly standing up, Grandmaster's eyes revealed a trace of doubt.

Tang Hao said calmly, "Come to think of it, we should not have seen each other for twenty years. With the way I look now, it's no wonder you don't recognize me. My name is Tang Hao."

"Tang Hao?" Grandmaster's expression, which had always been as still as an ancient well, changed abruptly. His pupils almost instantly focused as he stared fixedly at the person before him. Both hands gripped the desk, his fingers already turning bluish white. "You, you're Hao..."

Tang Hao waved his hand, stopping Grandmaster from continuing, and said coldly, "There's no need to mention past titles. Back then, we could be considered to have met a few times. Others might think you were only a madman, but I know that you are a persistent person."

Grandmaster's emotions gradually calmed. His stiff face moved slightly. "It seems my guess was right. You really are Xiao San's father. He has already gone home, so why are you here?"

Tang Hao nodded and said calmly, "It is precisely because he has gone home that I am here. I know you accepted him as your disciple. As his father, I should have come to see you long ago. I am leaving. The only one I worry about is him, so I hope to entrust Xiao San to you."

"You're leaving? Where are you going? He is your son." Grandmaster stared fixedly at Tang Hao, his gaze carrying a slight sharpness.

Tang Hao still wore that cold expression. "He is also your disciple. I have to leave. There are many things I must do. If he follows me, he will not be happy. I have no other requests. His life will be chosen by himself. Ten years. I have already left this world behind for ten years. Now that he has grown up, there are some things I must go do."

Grandmaster took a deep breath. "I don't know what happened to you, but I can tell that Xiao San is extremely attached to you. Don't you think leaving like this is too cruel to him?"

Tang Hao said calmly, "He decided on his own to walk an extraordinary path. Being with me would be what is cruel to him. All right, I have finished what I came to say. No matter when, please remember that he is my son."

After saying this, Tang Hao raised his hand and waved. A jet-black token fell onto the table before Grandmaster with a clang. The token was strikingly the same as the one Grandmaster had shown when he brought Tang San into the Soul Hunting Forest, except that the pattern on this token had a full six images.

When Grandmaster withdrew his gaze from the token, he discovered that Tang Hao's figure had vanished from before him.

"I never thought my idol would actually become like this!"

Grandmaster sighed and put away the token Tang Hao had left behind.

Tang Hao's current down-and-out, destitute appearance truly made it very difficult for him to connect the Tang Hao of now with the Tang Hao of the past.

"Tang San is actually Tang Hao's son..."

Then Grandmaster picked up the token and gripped it tightly.

"BiBi Dong... With Tang Hao's relationship with Spirit Hall, does that mean Tang San, whom I'm nurturing, will inevitably become enemies with BiBi Dong in the future?"

"This..."

For a moment, Grandmaster sank into inner conflict. BiBi Dong was the lover he could not forget, and Tang San was his beloved disciple. The two belonged to opposing sides, leaving Grandmaster at a loss for what to do.

In the past, even if he had suspected that Tang San was Tang Hao's son, he had still held on to a fluke, feeling that Tang San was not necessarily Tang Hao's son.

But now Tang Hao's appearance had shattered that fluke in his heart. Tang San was Tang Hao's son.

Nurturing an enemy for BiBi Dong was something he was unwilling to do.

But for him to stop nurturing Tang San now was something he was equally unwilling to do!

"No, there must be a way to ease their relationship!"

"The matter between Spirit Hall and Tang Hao was something from their previous generation. It has nothing to do with Tang San!"

"With Tang San's character, if I ask him in the future not to be enemies with Spirit Hall, he will definitely listen to me!"

"That's right, he will definitely listen to me!"
