Wulin, Let's Grow Stronger Together

For almost the entire day, Wu Yang Jin did nothing but cultivate and study his gauntlets and other items. Then, just as he woke up again, preparing to go find someone...

"Ahhh!!" Wu Yang Jin exclaimed in surprise.

Indeed, Wu Yang Jin was quite startled, because when he woke up, he saw Tang Wu Lin in front of him with red and swollen eyes, clearly having been crying. Tang Wu Lin also wanted to confide in Wu Yang Jin, but he didn't want to disturb his cultivation, so he could only wait.

When Tang Wu Lin saw Wu Yang Jin and came to his senses, he didn't speak immediately.

"Wulin, what's wrong with you? What happened? Did your senior sister cause you trouble again? Light Dragon and the others back? Or is it that bastard Wei Xiaofeng?" Wu Yang Jin asked in a series of questions.

However, before Tang Wu Lin could answer, he thought of another reason. He hoped it wasn't true, but unfortunately it was.

"Yang Jin, Dad and Mom... are gone, they were taken away!" Tang Wu Lin cried again.

They were taken away? Why? My aunt and uncle were actually taken away? Their place wasn't particularly conspicuous, and were they some kind of powerful, reclusive figures?

"Huh?! What happened? Why were you taken away?" Wu Yang Jin asked quickly.

Because he had received a lot of care from Tang Zi Ran and Lang Yue, he was very grateful to the couple. But now the two of them had been taken away. He realized that this was not the kind of kidnapping gang that would extort money.

Thinking of this, Wu Yang Jin actually thought of Evil Soul Master and Spirit Pagoda, but could it be other departments?

"Mom and Dad were taken away by someone...! They said it was for my sake, and they even wrote a letter," Tang Wu Lin continued.

Afterwards, Tang Wu Lin briefly explained what had happened and showed Wu Yang Jin the contents of the letter. Meanwhile, at the time Tang Wu Lin had gone alone to the forging workshop to find Mang Tian ...

"Huh? You've agreed to let Yang Jin and I Third-Level Forging Master Blacksmith exam?" Tang Wu Lin asked.

"Yes, that's right. I was too worried before. The reason I didn't let you two become Third-Level Forging Master so quickly was because I was afraid that you would become arrogant because of your talent and ruin your future. So, you can rest assured and go for the assessment," Mang Tian said.

"Yes, teacher! I'll tell Yang Jin as soon as I get back," Tang Wu Lin said excitedly.

Suddenly, Mang Tian reached into his pocket, but seemed unsure whether he should take something out.

"Wulin, there's one more thing. I need to give you this letter. It was written by your father, and you should take a look at it," Mang Tian said.

"Hey? Why doesn't Dad call me via Soul Guidance Communication? Is it because he's too busy?" Tang Wu Lin asked.

"You... you should still take a look," Mang Heaven's Eye said meaningfully.

This made Tang Wu Lin feel a sudden tightness in his chest, sensing that something was amiss.

"Yang Jin ...this, this is the letter, I'll show it to you." With that, Tang Wu Lin handed the letter to Wu Yang Jin.

(The following letter has been slightly modified and supplemented.)

"My son Wulin, by the time you read this letter, your father and mother will have already gone to a very far place. Don't worry about us, we're fine."

Your father has always been selfish. In order to live a peaceful life for himself, he made you suffer so much. In the end, even the Soul Spirit you longed for the most could only be the worst, useless Soul Spirit.

That night, Dad cried like a coward. It was Dad's fault for not being able to help you, for making you start learning forging at such a young age. Actually, it's good that you have a skill, but it's all Dad's fault.

I'm so sorry that you've suffered so much.

My dear son, Wulin, actually, your father is a Mecha Design Master. Years ago, because of a design blueprint, I attracted the attention of some powerful forces who wanted to control me. But I chose to take your mother and flee to Aolai City, where we lived in seclusion, intending to become ordinary people. However, it seems that an ordinary life might not be right for me now, so I've decided to return to my old profession for the sake of this family, for us, and for you.

By the way, there are two cards in this envelope. One is your identity card, and the other is a bank card that can be used throughout the continent. It contains two million coins given by that faction, which is just enough for you to buy two hundred-year-old Soul Spirit. See if you need it.

As for Dad now, once Dad earns more money, he will also deposit it into this card of yours.

Remember, with your talent, you are destined for the top. Don't look back, keep moving forward. Dad believes that with your strength and ability, you will definitely reach the top.

My dear son, Wulin, remember, don't look for us. We won't contact you until your father and mother are absolutely sure you're safe. But don't worry, your father knows your Soul Guidance Communication number. We'll contact you again once we've settled down.

Remember, your dad and mom love you, and they will always love you.

Also, we feel a little sorry for Yang Jin. As you know, Wu Yang Jin, Wulin is a very optimistic child who never seems to have any sad things to say. We hope that you two can take care of each other in the future, which will make his parents very happy.

But on that day, when Na'er left, it was truly the first time that Dad and Mom saw the desolation in Yang Jin's eyes. Although Yang Jin wasn't our biological child, he and Wulin had practically grown up together since childhood, and we felt helpless about it.

Dad hopes you will all be well and live happily, waiting for Dad and Mom to come find you someday. If we can find Na'er, our whole family will go on a trip together and have a good time.

When Tang Wu Lin finished reading the letter, his heart tightened.

After reading the letter, Wu Yang Jin felt a bit conflicted. Although she wasn't the couple's child, as mentioned before, she had taken care of and looked after them a lot. Moreover, she found it easy to empathize with them.

"Yang Jin, is it... is it because I'm too weak and dragged you down that this happened?" Tang Wu Lin said, holding Wu Yang Jin in his arms.

"Alright, Wulin, this isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself. You did a great job. As your brother and childhood friend, I can see that. Now, what you should do is follow your uncle's advice: live well and strive to become stronger. Besides, I'm here, and everyone else is by your side to help you," Wu Yang Jin comforted Tang Wu Lin.

"I want to become stronger! I need to become strong enough so that I can protect everything I have now and find my mom and dad."

"Yes, Wulin, let's work together and we'll definitely find your uncle and aunt in the future!" Wu Yang Jin said.
