Tang Whitebeard San: Come Be My Younger Brother and Sister
After Qi Lin got up, he saw that Old Jack was already awake and preparing breakfast for them.
He immediately washed up and went over to help.
Not long after, as the aroma spread through the room, Xiao Wu, who was still sleeping soundly, twitched her delicate nose and suddenly sat upright.
The next second, her bright eyes flew open. She jumped out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and scampered toward the source of the fragrance with a rapid pitter-patter.
The moment she entered the kitchen, she saw Qi Lin and Old Jack busily at work.
An embarrassed expression immediately appeared on her face. After washing her hands, she giggled. "Brother Qi Lin, I'll help too!"
Qi Lin rolled his eyes. "You only woke up when it's almost done. After we eat, you're washing the dishes."
"Can you do that?"
Xiao Wu snapped her legs together and shouted, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
Seeing this, Old Jack could not help but chuckle.
"Young people really are wonderful!"
At that moment, Tang San also walked in from outside.
He had risen even earlier than Qi Lin, but he had gone to the roof to cultivate his Purple Demon Eye.
Because he knew his father was not dead, his face had been filled with smiles, and his condition was visibly much better.
When he saw Qi Lin and Xiao Wu, he even greeted them with a smile.
"Morning, Xiao Wu, Qi Lin!"
Of course, this was also related to his father's instruction before leaving that he should build a good relationship with the two of them.
Especially Qi Lin!
Since he was positioned as a Support Spirit Master, he would be especially helpful to Tang San in the future.
"Morning to you too!" Qi Lin replied with a smile.
He noticed the change in Tang San's state of mind and immediately guessed that it was likely related to Tang San secretly going out last night.
He had most likely met Tang Hao.
Xiao Wu directly asked about it out of curiosity.
"Xiao San, you're in a pretty good mood today!"
Tang San smiled faintly. "I've thought it through. Father's disappearance does make me sad, but I have to pull myself together, don't I?"
Xiao Wu did not know what had happened, yet she boldly gave Tang San a thumbs-up.
"Xiao San, you're right!"
"I didn't expect you to be so strong inside. Looks like Sister Xiao Wu underestimated you before."
After Xiao Wu praised him, the corners of Tang San's mouth shot upward, though he still tried hard to hold them back.
In the blink of an eye, Qi Lin and Xiao Wu had already been in Holy Spirit Village for a week.
Having had their fill of fun, they were also preparing to bid farewell to Tang San and Old Jack.
Dusk. The setting sun!
On a small hill, vast swathes of sunset glow spilled over Qi Lin, Xiao Wu, and Tang San.
"Xiao San, why did you call us here?"
Qi Lin also turned his gaze toward him, somewhat curious.
Tang San cleared his throat, gazing into the distance as his expression grew deep and melancholy.
"Xiao Wu, Qi Lin, you know that ever since I was little, I haven't had many friends. I only had one family member, and that was my father."
"But now, my father has disappeared, and my home is gone too."
"Fortunately, I still have you two friends. I'm very grateful!"
"So..."
Tang San turned around and spread his arms, looking deeply at Xiao Wu and Qi Lin.
"Xiao Wu, Qi Lin!"
"Come be my younger brother and sister!"
"I, Tang San, promise that I'll treat you as my only family!"
At those words, Xiao Wu's little mouth fell open in shock, her face full of disbelief.
Wasn't this way too sudden?
How could Xiao San say something this embarrassing?
Qi Lin's mouth also twitched slightly.
No, why did Tang San suddenly want to take me as his younger brother?
Their relationship wasn't that close, was it?
After all, the two of them had barely spoken over the past year.
Qi Lin cared a great deal about other people's feelings, so he said tactfully, "Tang San, you're a good person, and I believe you'd be a good older brother too, but I don't think we're a good fit."
Putting everything else aside, he would give Tang San a good guy card first!
Xiao Wu hurriedly nodded as well. "I want to be Sister Xiao Wu. I'm not going to be someone else's younger sister."
As if afraid Tang San would not believe her, she tugged at Qi Lin's sleeve and added, "If you don't believe me, ask Brother Qi Lin. He can testify that I only want to be Sister Xiao Wu."
The moment those words came out, not only did Tang San's face darken, even Qi Lin's mouth could not help twitching.
Smack!
Qi Lin wordlessly slapped his forehead and looked at Xiao Wu as though he were looking at a fool in need of care.
How was that rejecting Tang San? She was clearly stabbing him in the heart.
He probably wouldn't dare bring this up again after this.
Sure enough, Tang San soon forced a smile and said to Qi Lin and Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, Qi Lin, it seems I was too abrupt just now. Father's disappearance has made me long for family too much."
"It's fine. Even if we aren't family, we can still be friends, right?"
Qi Lin cleared his throat and smiled. "Of course!"
Xiao Wu: Whatever Brother Qi Lin says goes!
Amid the slightly awkward atmosphere, the carriage Qi Lin had asked Old Jack to rent arrived as promised.
Qi Lin and Xiao Wu left Holy Spirit Village under the watchful eyes of Tang San and Old Jack.
Only after the two had left did Tang San's ever-smiling face instantly turn cold, his hands clenched tightly into fists.
On the other side, inside the carriage!
Xiao Wu muttered, "What was Xiao San thinking today? He suddenly wanted to take us as his younger brother and sister."
Qi Lin smiled. "Maybe it really was like he said. His father disappeared, so he longs for family."
Of course, that was impossible!
Qi Lin was certain that Tang San had most likely met Tang Hao, so he could not possibly have developed such thoughts.
Therefore, Tang San most likely had some other motive for wanting to take him and Xiao Wu as his younger siblings.
As for what Tang San was truly thinking, Qi Lin could not be bothered to guess.
Xiao Wu muttered, "Really?"
After thinking for a while, she could not be bothered to think any longer and instead asked when Qi Lin planned to obtain his second spirit ring.
Qi Lin had already reached level twenty two or three months ago. He definitely needed to find time during this break to visit the Soul Hunting Forest.
However, upon hearing Xiao Wu's question, Qi Lin spread his hands.
A spirit ring?
I already have one!
"What? Brother Qi Lin, you already have your second spirit ring?"
"Didn't you not have one just a few days ago?"
Xiao Wu's little mouth fell open in surprise again, her face full of disbelief.
Then, as if inspecting merchandise, she began looking Qi Lin up and down.
How was this possible? Could Brother Qi Lin actually be a transformed spirit beast too?
Impossible, impossible. Brother Qi Lin came from Aunt Xu Qian's belly. How could he be a spirit beast?
But what was going on with his spirit ring?
While she was still pondering, Qi Lin smiled and revealed his two spirit rings.
One was glowing white, while the other was brilliant gold!
Looking at Qi Lin's second spirit ring, Xiao Wu muttered once more.
"Brother Qi Lin, your second spirit ring is kind of dazzling!"
