Seeing Tang Wutong Again
In the end, under Wang Qiu'er's angry glare, Zhou Huan had no choice but to send Wang Qiu'er back to the Lake of Life once again.
There was nothing he could do; the enraged Little Soul beast was too terrifying. This had nothing to do with cultivation level, and besides, he was in the wrong.
It's a pity we won't get to see the sweet reunion between the Little Soul beast and Huo Gua. And all we got were shells of sunflower seeds, no seeds – a real shame.
After Wang Qiu'er left, Huo Gua also left. After all, he had asked everything he needed to ask, and he was especially happy to learn that Qiu'er was still alive. Although the scene of their reunion was a bit awkward, it didn't matter.
After seeing Huo Gua off and watching him disappear into the distance, Zhou Huan didn't turn back to go home. Instead, she looked towards the shadow of a large tree on the east side of the house and said softly, "Come out."
The area under the dark shadows of the trees was initially empty, but suddenly the air distorted, and a tall figure emerged.
She was a stunningly beautiful woman with long, wavy, light blue hair.
Tang Wutong.
Actually, she hadn't been there long; she arrived around the time Wang Qiu'er appeared.
Perhaps it was because Tang Wutong's abilities were special, or perhaps it was because Huo Gua's emotions were in turmoil after seeing Wang Qiu'er, that Huo Gua did not notice Tang Wutong's arrival until he left.
However, Zhou Huan noticed someone approaching using covert methods immediately.
Tang Wutong slowly walked towards Zhou Huan, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she recalled everything about him.
This person was once her classmate. He was always low-key, and at first, everyone thought he was going to develop in the direction of Martial Soul Theory.
During his six years at the Outer Court, everyone knew almost nothing about him except that he was very fast.
It wasn't until Mingdu Soul Master Competition, when he was vying to be elected captain of the Shrek Team, that she realized how powerful her almost unknown classmate actually was.
Especially during the competition, he demonstrated an overwhelming strength compared to all his peers.
But none of these are the most important.
Most importantly, for some reason, this person attracted the grandfather's attack, and he survived.
More than five years have passed, and when this person returned, she felt as if she were seeing an incomparably powerful Deity in front of him.
If this person wanted to, he could easily kill her; even her father wouldn't have had time to save her.
Although she didn't understand why she felt such fear—after all, her father was the most powerful person in her heart—her innate intuition warned her never to provoke this person.
Thinking of her father, she had asked him many times why her grandfather would kill a mortal, especially one from Shrek.
The result was obvious: her father didn't answer her, and hadn't contacted her in a long time.
Being in Douluo, she had no way to directly contact the Divine Realm; she could only constantly inquire about the divine seal left by her father in her Sea of Consciousness.
Unfortunately, the divine seal did not react at all.
To be honest, she didn't have any feelings for that Grandpa Tang Hao.
Because in her memory, whether it was her childhood in the Divine Realm or her memories as Wang Dong'er in the Douluo Continent, she had no recollection of this Grandpa Tang Hao.
Of course, she knew that she had such a grandfather, but her father only told her that her grandfather was in seclusion.
Therefore, she had even less of a clue as to why Tang Hao wanted to kill Zhou Huan.
Regardless of the reason, the enmity has already been formed.
Therefore, looking at Zhou Huan's calm expression, Tang Wutong was speechless for a moment.
Zhou Huan spoke calmly, "You seem a little afraid of me?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wutong's pinkish-blue pupils trembled slightly, but before she could reply, Zhou Huan continued, "Don't worry, I have absolutely no interest in you."
Tang Wutong frowned. "..." This person is so annoying, talking as if I'm interested in him.
Zhou Huan didn't care what Tang Wutong was thinking and continued, "So, you came here secretly because you don't trust Huo Yuhao, or to observe me?"
After a long silence, Tang Wutong asked instead of answering, "You... know who I am?"
Zhou Huan's expression remained unchanged. "Of course, Tang Wutong, the little princess of the Divine Realm, Tang San's daughter, Tang Hao's granddaughter. In that sense, you're still a descendant of my enemy."
Bite!!
Tang Wutong's pupils shrank instantly; this person actually knew so much!
Moreover, Yu Hao's previous evasive words and attempts to prevent her from coming along clearly indicated that he knew something.
So, is her identity really that transparent?
Seeing that Zhou Huan showed no intention of making a move, Tang Wutong took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then asked, "Can I ask why my grandfather... why did he want to kill you?"
Zhou Huan shook her head. "The reason isn't important, because it's already happened. If you really want to know, you can ask your father; I'm sure he'll come up with a good excuse. Besides, do you think you'd believe anything I say?"
It is not an easy task to sow discord between Tang Wutong and Tang San.
The fact that Tang Wutong fully recovered Wang Dong'er's memories but didn't feel any dissatisfaction towards Tang San suggests that something is a little off about Tang Wutong.
Therefore, Zhou Huan really didn't need to explain the ins and outs of the matter to Tang Wutong, and he didn't need Tang Wutong's approval.
Seeing that Zhou Huan was unwilling to say more, Tang Wutong, as the descendant of an enemy, had no choice but to ask further, especially since even her father hadn't explained the reason to her.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Wutong tentatively asked, "Can't this grudge be resolved?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Tang Wutong opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Yes, if someone were to ambush her, could she easily resolve the enmity?
Zhou Huan naturally ignored what Tang Wutong thought, and continued, "Go back, this has nothing to do with you."
Seeing Zhou Huan's calm expression, Tang Wutong knew that this feud was irreconcilable, so she could only turn and leave with mixed feelings.
However, just as she turned around, she heard Zhou Huan suddenly say, "Oh, by the way, you saw Qiu'er just now, right? You two should get together sometime and strengthen your sisterly bond."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Wutong turned around abruptly and saw Zhou Huan enter the house with a "snap" and close the door.
Instantly, the waves on Tang Wutong's chest trembled; she was truly enraged.
Screw sisterhood!!
Who cares about this kind of sisterly bond?!
Whoever wants it can have it!!
Tang Wutong had been preoccupied with the feud between the two families, so she had temporarily put aside matters of personal love.
But now Zhou Huan specifically reminded me, what does that mean? Is it upsetting?
Actually, when Tang Wutong saw Wang Qiu'er alive and well during her previous spying, her feelings were very complicated; she couldn't even tell whether she was happy or worried.
Especially when she saw Huo Yuhao's scoundrel-like behavior, Tang Wutong was furious. It was all that philandering bastard's fault; she would beat him up when they got back!
