Live for Yourself, Zhu Zhuqing's Thoughts [2]

After a round of explanations, Tang San calmed his emotions and entered the room.

Titan was waiting for Tang San in the room.

As Tang San entered, Titan quickly stepped forward and knelt on one knee again, "This old servant has injured Young Master. I beg Young Master to punish me."

Tang San forced a smile and looked at the three kneeling figures. He said, "Senior, please get up first. I'm still not very clear about anything right now. I'm just a commoner. How could I be the Young Master you speak of?"

Titan asked, "Is your father Tang Hao?"

Tang San replied, "My father is indeed Tang Hao, but I'm not the Master you mentioned."

Titan said seriously, "Your father is Tang Hao, then there's no mistake. Young Master, how have you and Master spent these years? And how can you use the Blue Silver Grass spirit?"

Tang San still didn't quite understand. "Can you first tell me who my father is, and why do you call him Master?"

Titan paced the room, looking at Tang San. "Did Master not tell you anything? If Master didn't say anything, this old servant wouldn't dare to speak carelessly. Can you tell me first how you and Master have lived all these years?"

Tang San nodded. "My father and I have lived in Holy Soul Village since childhood. My father is the only blacksmith in the village and likes to drink."

After hearing Tang San's words, Titan's beard and hair trembled, and tears streamed down his face. He sighed.

"Master... Master, how could you have become a blacksmith? You know, you were once famous throughout the world..."

Titan was already sobbing uncontrollably. He could imagine the life Tang Hao had lived all these years.

He was Tang Hao, yet he endured humiliation and despair to become a blacksmith, drinking and sighing all day. He, who once stood at the pinnacle, was now just a blacksmith.

Tang San asked, "Who exactly is my father? And how do you know about the relationship between my father and me?"

Titan explained, "Your Blue Silver Grass spirit should be inherited from your mother, and that hammer of yours must be inherited from your father. Although I am old, I would never mistake the Clear Sky Hammer."

"The Clear Sky Hammer is the unique spirit of the Clear Sky Sect," Titan said seriously.

Tang San's heart was filled with excitement. He had heard of the Upper Three Sects. The Upper Three Sects were the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect!

Tang San took out the letter his father had given him. "Senior, this is a letter my father left for me when I was six years old. Do you recognize the handwriting?"

Tang San had only seen Tang Hao before he was six years old.

After the age of six, Tang San never saw Tang Hao again. When he missed Tang Hao, he would take out this letter and look at his father's handwriting.

"Xiao San:

When you see this letter, I will already be gone.

Don't look for me, you will never find me.

Though you are still young, you have the ability to take care of yourself.

Only by spreading its wings on its own can a fledgling eagle fly higher sooner.

Don't worry about me. In your personality, you inherited much of your mother's sensitivity.

Father is a useless person.

You are growing up, and Father needs to take back some things that should have belonged to me.

One day, the two of us, father and son, will meet again.

I hope you become strong, but I also hope you don't become strong. Your path is yours to choose.

If one day you feel the profession of Spirit Master is not good, then return to Holy Soul Village and, like me, be a blacksmith.

Do not worry.

Tang Hao."

Tang San looked at the letter in his hand and once again thought of Tang Hao.

Why did Father say he was a useless person?

Also... Tang San had always wanted to know, where was his mother?

Since birth, Tang San had never seen his mother. Was his mother dead?

No. Tang San revealed the martial souls in his hands: Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer.

Blue Silver Grass twined around Tang San's palm, and he felt a sense of intimacy. Tang San could sense the touch transmitted by the Blue Silver Grass.

This was the martial soul his mother had passed down to him. Tang San always felt in his heart that his mother was still alive.

"Grandpa Tai, can you tell me everything about my father?" Tang San no longer doubted his father's identity.

The Clear Sky Hammer could not be faked.

Titan shook his head. "Young Master, the matters of the Owner back then are known only to him. You only need to know that the Owner is a man of integrity, the strongest existence in this world. No one can compare to him."

"The Strength Clan was once one of the affiliated clans of the Clear Sky Sect. And today, since the Young Master has returned, the Strength Clan can all pledge their lives to the Young Master!"

"Grandpa Tai, give me some time. I want to think carefully..." Tang San said.

After leaving the room, Tang San went to talk with Ning Fengzhi for a long time.

When Tang San returned to the dormitory, he found Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Chen all there.

"Xiao San, actually, I've met your father." Ye Chen patted Tang San's shoulder.

"Brother Chen, when did you meet my father?" Tang San looked at Ye Chen and asked.

Ye Chen smiled, "Remember when we first arrived at Shrek Academy and fought Teacher Zhao? Your father came that night. He beat up Teacher Zhao, and I sparred with Uncle Tang. Uncle Tang told me he was fine and not to worry about him. He also hoped I could take good care of you at Shrek Academy."

"Father..." Tang San said softly. He knew his father had never left his side, always silently protecting him.

"Everyone, do you have anything you want to ask me?" Tang San's face held a hint of bitterness.

Oscar shook his head, "I'm not asking anything. You're my Third Brother, hehe. Nothing will change that."

Ma Hongjun scratched his head, "But I still don't understand what happened. I can't ask anything even if I wanted to."

Zhu Zhuqing said, "You've never asked about our backgrounds either. Everyone has their own world, so I won't ask anything."

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San, "I only care about you. Nothing else matters."

"I think I'll rest first. I want to properly think about what happened today," Tang San said, his emotions in a jumble. He didn't even meet Xiao Wu's gaze.

Tang San returned to the dormitory alone and lay on the bed, closing his eyes.

He just wanted to know what had happened to his father and mother. Everyone was unwilling to tell him the whole story.

Meanwhile.

Everyone else had gone back to rest.

Only Zhu Zhuqing remained by Ye Chen's side.

She looked somewhat tired. Despite her desperate training, she was the youngest among Shrek's Seven Devils, yet her strength was second only to Dai Mubai and Ye Chen.

"Zhuqing, you don't need to push yourself so hard when you train. It can hurt your body," Ye Chen said, looking at Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently, her clear eyes looking at Ye Chen. "Brother, but you train harder than all of us. I want to catch up to you."

"Silly sister, I train hard to protect everyone and to find my parents. I've been used to training like this since I was young. You're a girl, you can't hurt your body, understand?" Ye Chen said seriously.

"Brother, I believe you. You'll definitely find Father and Mother," Zhu Zhuqing showed a faint smile. She wore thin clothes, appearing exceptionally cold and lonely.

"Sometimes, I really envy you and Third Brother. You have motivation, you have goals. At least your parents are definitely still alive, and maybe one day you can find them and be reunited," Zhu Zhuqing said softly.

Once, she too had a father, a mother, and an older sister. But her parents didn't care about her, her own sister wanted to kill her, and her family ostracized her. She placed all her dreams on her fiancé, but... her fiancé fled to Shrek Academy and lived a life of debauchery, happily with twins, one in each hand.

If not for Ye Chen, she might have died in that assassination. But even now, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't find her purpose or motivation.

"Brother, what do you think is the meaning of my life?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the sky with her beautiful eyes. She only spoke so much in front of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at Zhu Zhuqing with sincere eyes and ruffled her hair. "You don't live for anyone else. You should live for yourself."

"Zhuqing, you are my sister, and even more like kin. I won't allow you to have such thoughts anymore. I want you to live a happy life."

"I will accompany you. Together, we will defeat the people from the Star Luo Empire, and defeat your sister, Zhu Zhuyun."

"We have Martial Soul Fusion Skills, and very powerful strength. Without you, how can I use these Martial Soul Fusion Skills?" Ye Chen said.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes dimmed. "Brother, you can use Martial Soul Fusion Skills with everyone else."

Ye Chen shook his head. "No, my Azure Dragon Spirit can only use Martial Soul Fusion Skills with you. Moreover, the power of our Martial Soul Fusion Skill is even stronger than my Nine Spirits Begonia."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently, looking at Ye Chen. The杂念 (unsettled thoughts) in her heart gradually disappeared.

That's right, live for herself. What others do to her, what does it matter? She should have her own beautiful life.

She would prove her Strength to the family. She would let everyone know that she was more powerful than her own sister.

Her and Ye Chen's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell Azure Dragon, was also her greatest trump card. Without her, how could Ye Chen possibly use Hell Azure Dragon?

She just needed to know that she was even a little bit important by Ye Chen's side, and that would be enough.

"Brother, thank you."

"Our goal is the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. I will go with you to the very end." Zhu Zhuqing nodded, looking at Ye Chen.

"Of course," Ye Chen said with a brilliant smile.

"Zhuqing, if you have someone you like, you can tell me. Brother will help you keep an eye on that person. Our Zhuqing cannot be bullied by anyone," Ye Chen said with a smile, as Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai no longer had an Engagement.

"Mhm," Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her clear eyes looking at Ye Chen's departing back.

Her Wooden Brother couldn't even see who she liked. He was truly an idiot.

She wouldn't say anything.

Because...

She and Ye Chen had the same goal, which was the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. If she had anything to say, it would have to wait until after the Elite Tournament!
