Ah Yin tugged on Tang Hao's clothes and asked in confusion, "Brother Hao, Senior Dugu is at least a Title Douluo. Why not let him help our son?"
How could Tang Hao dare tell Ah Yin the truth? He could only make up an excuse. "Ah Yin, our son has grown up. He has appeared on the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking three times. He is only thirteen, yet he is already a Soul King, even at the level of a Soul Emperor. He must grow on his own and undergo trials. That is the only path to becoming strong. Back then, didn't Big Brother and I make our way through the world just like that? We endured so much hardship and shed so much sweat and blood before earning the Haotian Twin Stars' great reputation across the continent."
Hearing Tang Hao's words, Ah Yin also felt that he was right. As someone who had taken human form from a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, she had weathered countless storms herself. Without a mature and resilient mind, she could never have reached this point. She nodded and smiled. "Then let our son undergo his trials properly. I hope that one day, we will hear his name resounding throughout the continent. Brother Hao, shouldn't you shave that beard?"
Seeing Ah Yin bring up his beard once more, Tang Hao formed a sword gesture with two fingers and slowly brushed them along his cheeks. His beard was shaved away bit by bit. With Ah Yin occasionally offering directions, he cleared all the stubble from his cheeks. Finally, after shaving off the small mustache on his upper lip, Tang Hao's entire face appeared before Ah Yin.
When Ah Yin saw Tang Hao's weathered face, she held his cheeks in both hands and burst into tears.
