Qin Clan?
Just now, those people had said that the food on the second floor was some of the best in Notting City. Xiao Wu especially wanted to try it.
But since she had no money, Xiao Wu could only give up on the thought.
After coming here, Xiao Wu finally understood the importance of money. Without money, nothing could be done properly. She could not even afford food.
That day, a huge piece of news came out of Notting Academy.
The Work-Study Students, who were poor as church mice, were actually eating in large groups on the second floor of the cafeteria.
And, for the first time ever, they were all ordering the most expensive set meals. That night, the second floor of Notting Spirit Master Junior Academy was unable to keep up with demand.
At that moment, in an upper-level office at the academy, a black-clad man in his fifties was reading.
Suddenly, there came a knock at the door.
"Come in."
Grandmaster said indifferently.
It should be those two children. After all, no one usually came to his office.
But those two children were surprisingly quiet. Were they afraid of disturbing him? How considerate.
"Long time no see."
When the door opened, it was not the two childish voices Grandmaster had expected, but a weathered voice.
Grandmaster slightly raised his head. The instant he saw the person before him, his pupils contracted sharply!
"Hao... Haotian..."
"Don't bring up the past."
The words on Grandmaster's lips were forcibly choked back down his throat by that voice.
"Then why have you come this time?"
Grandmaster asked Tang Hao, who wore a gray cloak and had a face covered in stubble.
"I came for only one thing: I want you to take good care of Xiao San and Xiao Feng."
Tang Hao's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Are you not going to look after these two children?"
Hearing Tang Hao speak as though he were saying farewell, Grandmaster asked in surprise.
"You'll take better care of them than I ever could. I can rest easy leaving the two of them to you. I'm only an unqualified father."
Tang Hao's voice was low.
"I'll leave this token with you. I hope you can raise these two children well."
Tang Hao took out a token. It was Spirit Hall's highest-ranking Pope Token, but it was useless to him now.
The previous Pope, Qian Xunji, had been beaten to death after sustaining grievous injuries at his hands. He had also become a fugitive. Even if he held this token, it would be nearly impossible for him to use it.
Though it was useless to him, this token would be immensely useful to Grandmaster and the others. Giving it to him was equivalent to presenting him with a rare and precious gift on Douluo Continent, a show of complete sincerity in the hope that he would truly teach the two children well.
"This..."
Seeing the token, Grandmaster's expression became even more astonished.
"Thank you."
Tang Hao placed the token on the desk, turned, and prepared to leave.
"Wait, I have one last question."
Grandmaster stopped Tang Hao as he was about to leave, his eyes growing somewhat fervent.
"What question?"
Tang Hao stopped but did not turn around.
"Madam's surname is Qin?"
A glint flickered in Grandmaster's dark eyes.
The incident back then had been caused by Tang Hao's wife, and her identity had drawn much attention.
Unfortunately, after all these years, no one knew her true identity. Yet now Tang Hao had two children: one surnamed Tang and the other Qin.
If Tang San had taken his father's surname and Qin Feng his mother's, then his wife would be from the Qin Clan. If she was from the Qin Clan, that would explain why Spirit Hall had made such a massive move back then.
The Qin Clan was a sealed secret that no Spirit Master on Douluo Continent was willing to uncover.
"Xiao Feng is not my biological son."
As Tang Hao's words fell, he turned into a black shadow and vanished from the spot, leaving only Grandmaster behind, still unable to react.
After a long while, Grandmaster let out a breath of relief.
It was good that Qin Feng was not from the Qin Clan.
There were many people with the surname Qin throughout Douluo Continent, and they had no connection whatsoever to the Qin Clan.
He had been wondering how someone from the Qin Clan could possibly appear here, much less possess a hammer-type Weapon Martial Soul!
"Burp~"
Tang San rubbed his swollen belly. They had eaten from sunset until Bright Moon hung high in the sky.
It had to be said that the food in the second-floor cafeteria was indeed delicious beyond compare.
Tang San had been here for six years, and this was the first time he had eaten such exquisite food.
"Not bad. I have to say, that fellow Pi Feng really is an excellent delivery guy."
Qin Feng said with a hearty laugh as he burped.
"Delivery guy? What is that?"
Tang San asked again with a puzzled expression.
He suddenly realized that Feng Ge had said many words he did not understand and had never even heard before.
"Uh... just think of it as someone who delivers whatever we need."
Qin Feng scratched the back of his head. The vocabulary of a toxic youth had slipped out again by accident.
He had been here for so many years and still had not corrected the habit. It seemed he would need to watch his words more carefully in the future.
"Oh."
Tang San scratched his head and nodded slightly.
Just as they turned toward Grandmaster's attic, a black shadow suddenly flashed past ahead of them.
"Who goes there?!"
The two of them, bellies still full, chased after it.
But that shadow was too fast. Before they could even see its full form, it vanished into the endless night.
Only a faint smell of alcohol remained at the scene.
"Who was that? How did he run so fast?!"
Tang San was about to continue chasing, but Qin Feng pulled him back.
"Xiao San, let's first see if Grandmaster is all right."
Qin Feng said to Tang San.
In truth, the moment he smelled that scent, Qin Feng already had an idea. He guessed that Tang Hao had come.
As for Tang Hao, even if Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he would not be able to catch him. After all, a father was still a father.
"Right, let's check whether Teacher is all right first!"
Tang San seemed to have suddenly come to his senses. Grandmaster was the only one in this attic. If that black shadow had come to attack him, it would be troublesome.
The two of them rushed into the office in a hurry.
At that moment, Grandmaster was sitting at his desk reading.
With a loud bang, Grandmaster was startled!
"Why did you two barge in so recklessly?!"
Though Grandmaster had been startled, there was no blame on his face. Instead, he asked in surprise.
"Teacher, Feng Ge and I saw a black shadow flash past here outside just now. We thought it had come to you, so we got a little anxious."
Seeing that they seemed to have frightened their teacher, Tang San said apologetically.
"Oh."
Grandmaster nodded meaningfully.
It seemed Tang Hao did not want the two children to know his identity.
"I didn't call you here for anything important. I just saw that both of you are level ten. Xiao San, I know you possess Innate Full Soul Power. I want to ask, Xiao Feng, do you also possess Innate Full Soul Power?"
Grandmaster asked Qin Feng.
At the school gate earlier, he had seen that Qin Feng seemed to be a level-nine Spirit Scholar. How had he become a level-ten Spirit Scholar by that evening? Could this child have hidden his strength earlier that day?!
